WEYCO REPORTS THIRD QUARTER SALES AND EARNINGS

 

Milwaukee, Wisconsin---November 7, 2023---Weyco Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: WEYS) (“we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company”) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

 

Third Quarter 2023

Consolidated net sales were $84.2 million, down 13% compared to record third-quarter sales of $97.0 million in 2022. Consolidated gross earnings increased to 43.0% of net sales compared to 40.6% of net sales in last year’s third quarter, due mainly to higher gross margins in our North American wholesale segment. Quarterly earnings from operations were $12.4 million, down 12% compared to record operating earnings of $14.2 million in 2022. Quarterly net earnings totaled $9.3 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, compared to record net earnings of $10.8 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, last year.

 

North American Wholesale Segment

 

Net sales in our wholesale segment were $69.5 million, down 15% compared to record sales of $81.6 million in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a 42% decline in BOGS sales, compared to record sales for the brand last year, as retailers have reduced orders due to the current saturation of product in the outdoor footwear market, and due to the mild start to Fall. Florsheim net sales were down 7%, compared to record sales for the brand in last year’s third quarter. Sales of the Nunn Bush brand were up 11%, with the increase driven in part by incremental sales in the casual and hybrid categories, and new programs with a few large retailers. Stacy Adams sales were down 1%.

 

Wholesale gross earnings were 38.6% of net sales in the third quarter of 2023 compared to 36.3% of net sales last year. Gross margins improved as a result of lower inventory costs compared to last year, primarily related to inbound freight costs.

 

Selling and administrative expenses for the wholesale segment were $15.6 million for the quarter compared to $16.7 million last year. The decrease was primarily due to lower employee costs, mainly commission-based compensation. As a percent of net sales, selling and administrative expenses were 22% and 21% of net sales in the third quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Wholesale operating earnings totaled $11.3 million for the quarter, down 13% from $12.9 million last year, due primarily to lower sales. This quarter was our second most profitable third quarter in terms of wholesale operating earnings, second only to last year.

 

North American Retail Segment

 

Retail net sales were a third-quarter record of $7.6 million, up 6% over our previous record of $7.1 million in 2022. The increase was due to higher sales across all our domestic e-commerce websites, with the largest increases at BOGS and Florsheim.

 

Retail gross earnings as a percent of net sales were 65.4% and 66.3% in the third quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Selling and administrative expenses for the retail segment totaled $4.0 million, or 53% of net sales, for the quarter compared to $3.9 million, or 55% of net sales, last year. Third quarter retail operating earnings rose to $926,000, up 12% compared to $825,000 last year, due mainly to the increase in web sales.

 

Other

 

Our other operations consist of our retail and wholesale businesses in Australia, South Africa, and Asia Pacific (collectively, “Florsheim Australia”). Net sales of Florsheim Australia totaled $7.1 million, down 14% compared to $8.2 million in the third quarter of 2022. In local currency, its net sales were down 10%, primarily in its wholesale businesses.

 

Florsheim Australia’s gross earnings were 61.6% of net sales compared to 61.4% of net sales in last year’s third quarter. Its operating earnings were $256,000 for the quarter versus $476,000 last year. The decrease was primarily due to lower earnings in Australia’s wholesale businesses, as a result of lower sales.

 

“Our wholesale volumes were down for the quarter, as many of our retail partners worked to pare back higher levels of inventory,” stated Thomas W. Florsheim, Jr., Chairman and CEO. “Though sales declined, we delivered healthy operating earnings for the quarter relative to sales, as efforts to improve gross margins and control costs have continued to bolster our profitability. At retail our e-commerce businesses continued to perform well, signaling the strength of our major brands in the U.S. We paid off our debt in the quarter and our cash flows currently remain strong. Our strong financial position enables us to withstand changes in the retail environment while also giving us the flexibility to allocate capital to support our future growth initiatives.”

 

On November 7, 2023, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.25 per share to all shareholders of record on November 27, 2023, payable on January 2, 2024.
