Oct 26, 2023 • 4:05 pm EDT

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Skechers U.S.A., Inc. (“Skechers” or the “Company”) (NYSE:SKX), The Comfort Technology Company™ and a global footwear leader, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Third Quarter Highlights

  • Record quarterly sales of $2.02 billion, a year-over-year increase of 7.8%
  • Diluted earnings per share of $0.93, a year-over-year increase of 69.1%
  • Direct-to-Consumer sales grew 23.8%
  • Inventory decrease of $436.0 million or 24.0% from December 31, 2022
  • Repurchased $40 million of Class A common stock

“Skechers’ achieved a new quarterly sales record of $2.02 billion, reflecting robust demand for our brand,” said David Weinberg, Chief Operating Officer of Skechers. “All regions grew, including the Americas, with growth of 7% in the United States due to continued strength in our Direct-to-Consumer channel, and Asia Pacific with growth of 18% in China. In addition, our inventory levels are down significantly, and our gross margin was strong at 52.9% reflecting favorable pricing, a higher mix of Direct-to-Consumer sales and lower unit costs. As we continue to focus on growing our international business, enhancing our Direct-to-Consumer presence and expanding our product offering, we remain confident in the strength of our brand and executing Skechers’ long-term growth strategy.”

“Our record third quarter sales were the result of our continued innovation and determination to deliver comfort, style and quality in every pair,” began Robert Greenberg, Chief Executive Officer of Skechers. “We introduced a collaboration with entertainment legend Snoop Dogg, and we launched Skechers Football boots with Harry Kane, one of the leading strikers in the world and captain of England's national team. Both ambassadors and their products generated significant media and consumer attention for the brand. And, this week, we announced the signing of two-time NBA All-Star Julius Randle and rising star Terance Mann – both of whom are competing in our Skechers Basketball footwear this week. Leading professional athletes both on the pitch and on the court in Skechers Performance footwear are a testament to our ability to deliver comfort that performs at the highest levels of competition. Designing desirable footwear for fans of Snoop Dogg as well as our ambassador Martha Stewart demonstrates the diversity of style, offering and demographic of the Skechers brand and our customers. We believe our constant innovation to meet the needs of consumers from all walks of life—including professional athletes, and our impactful marketing will drive our success for years to come.”

Wholesale sales declined $17.0 million, or 1.4%, which includes decreases in EMEA of 8.3% and AMER of 0.5%, partially offset by an increase in APAC of 7.1%. Wholesale volume decreased 10.8% and average selling price increased 10.3%.

Direct-to-Consumer sales grew $163.6 million, or 23.8%, which includes increases in AMER of 17.3%, APAC of 24.2% and EMEA of 60.8%. Direct-to-Consumer volume increased 18.8% and average selling price increased 4.3%.

Gross margin was 52.9%, an increase of 590 basis points, primarily due to higher average selling prices, a higher proportion of Direct-to-Consumer sales, and lower freight costs.

Selling expenses increased $27.4 million, or 18.2%, and as a percentage of sales increased 80 basis points to 8.8%. The increase was due to higher brand demand creation expenditures. General and administrative expenses increased $77.3 million, or 12.8%, and as a percentage of sales increased 150 basis points to 33.6%. Increased expenses were primarily driven by increased facility costs, including rent and depreciation, and labor.

Net earnings were $145.4 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.93 compared with prior year net earnings of $85.9 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.55.

Balance Sheet

Cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $1.27 billion, an increase of $484.6 million, or 61.5% from December 31, 2022, primarily due to increased earnings and favorable changes in working capital, primarily inventory improvements as we worked through capacity challenges and processing constraints at our distribution centers. Increases were partially offset by capital expenditures of $238.7 million, $100.0 million of share repurchases year-to-date and payments of $70.4 million, net of cash acquired, related to the acquisition of our Scandinavian distributor.

Inventory was $1.38 billion, a decrease of $436.0 million or 24.0% from December 31, 2022.

During the third quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 805,486 shares of its Class A common stock at a cost of $40.0 million. Year-to-date 2023, the Company has repurchased nearly 2.1 million shares of its Class A common stock at a cost of $100.0 million. At September 30, 2023, approximately $325.7 million remained available under the Company’s share repurchase program.

Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company believes it will achieve sales between $1.91 billion and $2.01 billion and diluted earnings per share of between $0.40 and $0.50. Further, the Company believes that for the full year 2023, it will achieve sales between $7.95 billion and $8.05 billion and diluted earnings per share of between $3.33 and $3.43.

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 the COVID-19 pandemic; 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, 2022 and its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q in 2023. Taking these and other risk factors associated with the COVID-19 pandemic into consideration, 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.

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.
