SKECHERS USA, Inc. (NYSE:SKX), a global leader in lifestyle footwear,
today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30,
2013.
Second quarter 2013 net sales were $428.2 million compared to $384.0
million for the second quarter of 2012. Gross profit for the second
quarter of 2013 was $194.9 million or 45.5 percent of net sales compared
to $171.3 million or 44.6 percent of net sales for the second quarter of
last year. Earnings from operations for the second quarter of 2013 were
$17.2 million versus a loss from operations of $1.5 million for the
second quarter of 2012.
"The strong increase in second quarter sales is the result of
double-digit gains in both our international wholesale and company-owned
retail businesses as well as the single-digit improvements in our
domestic wholesale division. Our 45.5 percent gross margins are the
result of improvements in our company-owned retail stores and
international subsidiary businesses combined with the expected decrease
in international distributor sales, which carry lower gross margins,"
began David Weinberg, chief operating officer and chief financial
officer. "Further, the demand for our fresh product also resulted in a
16.5 percent increase in domestic and international comp store sales, a
leading indicator of the underlying strength of our product offerings.
We are particularly pleased with the growth given that Easter fell into
the first quarter this year as opposed to the second quarter last year,
and that we achieved gains despite the unseasonably cooler Spring
temperatures in the United States and many other regions."
Net earnings in the second quarter of 2013 were $7.1 million compared to
a net loss of $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2012. Diluted net
earnings per share were $0.14 based on 50,497,000 weighted average
shares outstanding compared to diluted net loss per share of $0.04 based
on 49,296,000 weighted average shares outstanding for the same period
last year.
For the six months ended June 30, 2013, net sales were $879.9 million
compared to net sales of $735.3 million in the first six months of 2012.
Gross profit for the first six months of 2013 was $387.6 million or 44.1
percent of net sales, compared to $327.0 million or 44.5 percent of net
sales for the first six months of 2012. Earnings from operations for the
first six months of 2013 were $32.5 million, compared to a loss from
operations of $5.9 million for the same period last year.
Net earnings in the first six months of 2013 were $13.8 million compared
to net a loss of $5.4 million in the same period last year. Diluted net
earnings per share were $0.27 based on 50,494,000 weighted average
common shares outstanding compared to a net loss of $0.11 based on
49,281,000 weighted average common shares outstanding for the first six
months of 2012.
Robert Greenberg, SKECHERS chief executive officer, commented: “In June,
we hosted our 21st annual Global Sales Conference for our
domestic, international and retail teams to review our products, and we
have spent much of this month in key account meetings at our corporate
offices doing the same. The positive feedback we have received in these
meetings is unlike any we have previously experienced. We believe this
is due to a more diversified product balance. With strong offerings
throughout our footwear lines, we now have many key product successes,
including Skechers Relaxed Fit, which crosses into our lifestyle
athletic and casual divisions. This increased product balance has
allowed us to redefine many of our lines and grow our divisions through
new offerings, including the year-round extension of our charitable line
BOBS, which reached the five million pair donation mark in June, and the
expansion of our award-winning SKECHERS Performance Division, which has
grown into a solid business. We continue to support our brands with
numerous men’s, women’s and kids television campaigns, and for Back to
School, many of the same commercials will be shown around the world to
support our global business. We are now seeing the impact of our key
product initiatives and marketing support taking hold around the world.
Based on the reaction at our recent key account meetings and current
performance in the market, we believe the momentum we are experiencing
will continue through this year and into next year.”
Mr. Weinberg added: “We believe the first six months of 2013 with
improved sales, gross margins and earnings are an indication of the
financial performance we will achieve in the back half of the year. Our
return to profitability, cash balance of $333.0 million, and in-line
inventory levels are indicators of our determination to efficiently
manage our business. We are experiencing exceptional sell-throughs on
the broadest assortment of key product in our company’s history. We are
looking forward to delivering the remainder of our fall product
offerings, and launching the next phase of our development for a
successful holiday and Spring 2014.”

This announcement contains forward-looking statements that are made
pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include,
without limitation, the Company’s future financial results and
operations, future demand for its products and its planned advertising
and marketing initiatives. Forward-looking statements can be identified
by the use of forward looking language such as “believe,” “anticipate,”
“expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “will be,” “will
continue,” “will result,” “could,” “may,” “might,” or any variations of
such words with similar meanings. 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
resignation of the Company’s former independent registered public
accounting firm, and its withdrawal of its audit reports with respect to
certain of the Company’s historical financial statements; international,
national and local general economic, political and market conditions
including the ongoing global economic slowdown and market instability;
entry into the highly competitive performance footwear market;
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;
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 the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2012, and its Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended March 31, 2013. The risks included here are not exhaustive. The
Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment.
New risks emerge from time to time and the companies cannot predict all
such risk factors, nor can the companies assess the impact of all such
risk factors on their respective businesses 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. Given
these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. Moreover,
reported results should not be considered an indication of future
performance.
