Forward guidance

The company expects sales to remain soft through the second quarter but is optimistic that demand will improve in the back half of the year.

Tailwinds

  • Retail segment posted another record quarter, which is a testament to the strength of our brands across North America.
  • Sell-throughs at wholesale remain strong.
  • Gross margins improved as a result of lower inventory costs, primarily inbound freight.
  • The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.26 per share, representing an increase of 4% above the previous quarterly dividend rate of $0.25.
  • Optimistic that demand will improve in the back half of the year.

Headwinds

  • Wholesale volumes were down for the quarter, compared to a record first quarter last year.
  • Results are reflective of broader industry headwinds, as retailers remain reluctant to place orders after struggling with high inventories last year.
  • Sales of the Florsheim, Stacy Adams, and Nunn Bush brands were down 11%, 16%, and 13%, respectively, for the quarter, due to reduced demand following record sales growth early last year.
  • Net sales of Florsheim Australia were down 26% from $7.5 million in the first quarter of 2023.
  • Expect sales to remain soft through the second quarter.
