SKX Skechers USA

Skechers U.S.A., Inc. (“Skechers” or the “Company”) (NYSE:SKX), The Comfort Technology CompanyTM and a global footwear leader, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Third Quarter Highlights

• Record quarterly sales of $2.35 billion, a 15.9% increase
• Wholesale sales grew 20.6%
• Direct-to-Consumer sales grew 9.6%
• Diluted earnings per share of $1.26, a 35.5% increase
• Repurchased $90.0 million of Class A common stock

“Strong consumer demand for Skechers across all distribution channels resulted in a new quarterly sales record of $2.35 billion,” began David Weinberg, Chief Operating Officer of Skechers. “Despite challenging market conditions in certain countries, we achieved 21% Wholesale growth, 10% Direct-to-Consumer growth, as well as 16% internationally and 15% domestically. By region, sales grew 30% in EMEA driven by double-digit growth across all countries; 14% in the Americas, reflecting particularly strong sales in the United States and Canada; and 7% in Asia Pacific with double-digit increases in many countries. With the growing awareness and broad acceptance of our comfort technology products by our partners and consumers, we believe each of these regions represent continued growth opportunities for Skechers. We continue to invest in our operational capabilities and improve the customer experience, while meeting the increased global demand for our products and positioning Skechers for profitable growth now and in the future.”

“Skechers’ significant growth in the third quarter can be attributed to offering the right product at the right price and ensuring availability at locations where consumers want to shop – whether it’s in our own direct-to-consumer channels or with our network of key retailers,” began Robert Greenberg, Chief Executive Officer of Skechers. “Our product line up offers a unique value proposition for partners and consumers – style, comfort, quality, and innovation at a reasonable price. The combination of these attributes sets Skechers apart. As more consumers view our comfort features as essential, the importance of newness and advancing our designs with our signature technologies across core and new product offerings remains vital. Raising awareness of our technologies, such as Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins, has been integral to our global growth. We achieve this through both technology-focused marketing campaigns and by leveraging our strong team of ambassadors and athletes. Earlier this quarter, Snoop Dogg and Philadelphia 76ers basketball star Joel Embiid both achieved golden moments wearing Skechers during the Paris Games. Most recently, we signed television host Howie Mandel and launched a campaign with him. In our Skechers Performance Division, we have a strong history of delivering comfort that performs in technical running and golf footwear, and an established solid business with pickleball footwear. We are in the early stages of team sports with the global roll-out of Skechers court, football (soccer), basketball and cleated styles with a growing roster of Olympians and elite athletes competing in our footwear. We believe there are significant opportunities to build on our technical performance business. While continued investment in product and marketing drove record quarterly sales, it is our commitment to deliver what consumers want that inspires us as we strive to bring innovation to people from all walks of life.”

Selling expenses increased $32.9 million, or 18.4%, and as a percentage of sales increased 20 basis points to 9.0%. The increase was due to higher demand creation expenditures.

Net earnings were $193.2 million and diluted earnings per share were $1.26 compared with prior year net earnings of $145.4 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.93.

In the third quarter, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 14.7%. The decrease was due to the release of certain allowances and other provision adjustments.

“Skechers’ record third-quarter financial performance underscores the strength of our global diversification and demand for our distinctive value proposition," stated John Vandemore, Chief Financial Officer of Skechers. "We delivered impressive international sales growth coupled with continued momentum in our domestic wholesale business. These results reinforce our confidence in achieving our goal of $10 billion in sales by 2026 and continued growth thereafter. As we move forward, we remain committed to investing in our brand, expanding our global presence, and meeting the evolving needs of our consumers.”

This announcement contains forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, Skechers’ future domestic and international growth, financial results and operations including expected net sales and earnings, its development of new products, future demand for its products, its planned domestic and international expansion, opening of new stores and additional expenditures, and advertising and marketing initiatives.

Any such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include the disruption of business and operations due to` delays or disruptions in our supply chain; international economic, political and market conditions including the effects of inflation and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations around the world, the challenging consumer retail markets in the United States and the impact of wars, acts of war and other conflicts around the world; sustaining, managing and forecasting costs and proper inventory levels; losing any significant customers; decreased demand by industry retailers and cancellation of order commitments due to the lack of popularity of particular designs and/or categories of products; maintaining brand image and intense competition among sellers of footwear for consumers, especially in the highly competitive performance footwear market; anticipating, identifying, interpreting or forecasting changes in fashion trends, consumer demand for the products and the various market factors described above; sales levels during the spring, back-to-school and holiday selling seasons; and other factors referenced or incorporated by reference in Skechers’ annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q in 2024. Taking these and other risk factors, the dynamic nature of these circumstances means that what is stated in this press release could change at any time, and as a result, actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. The risks included here are not exhaustive. Skechers operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time and we cannot predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

SKECHERS U.S.A., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Reconciliation of GAAP Earnings Financial Measures to Corresponding Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

Constant Currency Adjustment (Non-GAAP Financial Measure)

We evaluate our results of operations on both an as reported and a constant currency basis. The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of period-over-period fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our results of operations, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance and is consistent with how management evaluates the Company’s performance. We calculate constant currency percentages by converting our current period local currency financial results using the prior-period exchange rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to our prior period reported results.
