“We completed a very solid year of growth with fourth quarter results that exceeded expectations,” said Jason Brooks, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Strong gains in our direct channels helped partially offset anticipated challenges in our Wholesale segment due to a difficult comparison and an over-inventoried selling environment. The consistent consumer demand we experienced in 2022 across multiple footwear categories led by work, outdoor and western reflects the strength of our brand portfolio, the appeal of our products, and the loyalty we’ve built with our target audiences. In order to best capitalize on the market opportunities that we believe exist for our business, we have invested in expanding and upgrading our distribution and fulfillment capabilities, evolved and increased our marketing programs, and fortified our leadership team. While we are cautious about near-term trends given the heightened macroeconomic uncertainty, I am more confident than ever that we have the right foundation in place to drive profitable growth and enhanced shareholder value over the long-term.”

Fourth Quarter Review

Fourth quarter net sales decreased 18.0% to $138.9 million compared with $169.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Wholesale segment sales for the fourth quarter decreased 26.6% to $98.9 million compared to $134.8 million for the same period in 2021. Retail segment sales for the fourth quarter increased 40.8% to $37.3 million compared to $26.5 million for the same period last year. Contract Manufacturing segment sales, which include contract military sales and private label programs, decreased 66.6% to $2.7 million compared to $8.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease in Contract Manufacturing sales was due to the expiration of certain contracts with the U.S. Military.

Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $56.7 million, or 40.8% of net sales, compared to $63.3 million, or 37.3% of net sales, for the same period last year. The 350 basis point increase in gross margin was attributable to a tariff refund with a net impact of approximately $2.4 million received in the fourth quarter 2022 and a higher mix of Retail segment sales which carry higher gross margins than the Wholesale and Contract Manufacturing segments.

Operating expenses were $43.1 million, or 31.0% of net sales, for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $45.1 million, or 26.6% of net sales, for the same period a year ago. Excluding $1.7 million of acquisition-related amortization and restructuring costs in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $1.6 million in acquisition-related amortization and integration expenses in the fourth quarter of 2021, adjusted operating expenses were $41.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $43.5 million for the same period a year ago. The decrease in operating expenses was driven primarily by a decrease in discretionary spending and improved distribution center efficiencies compared with the year ago period. As a percentage of net sales, adjusted operating expenses were 29.8% in the fourth quarter 2022 compared with 25.7% in the year ago period.

Income from operations for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $13.6 million, or 9.8% of net sales, compared to $18.2 million or 10.7% of net sales for the same period a year ago. Adjusted operating income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $15.3 million, or 11.0% of net sales, compared to adjusted operating income of $19.8 million, or 11.7% of net sales, for the same period a year ago.

Interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $5.9 million compared with $3.2 million a year ago. The increase reflected increased interest rates on interest payments on the senior term loan and credit facility.

The Company reported fourth quarter 2022 net income of $6.5 million, or $0.89 per diluted share compared to net income of $12.6 million, or $1.69 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2021.

The effective tax rate for 2022 increased to 20.6% compared to 19.0% for the full year 2021.

The Company reported 2022 net income of $20.5 million, or $2.78 per diluted share compared to net income of $20.6 million, or $2.77 per diluted share in 2021.

- The non-GAAP adjustments relate to our U.S. and foreign business and as such, the income tax charge is calculated using the effective tax rate for each period presented.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to GAAP financial measures, we present the following non-GAAP financial measures: “adjusted gross margin,” “adjusted operating expenses,” “adjusted operating income,” “adjusted net income,” and "adjusted net income per share.” Adjusted results exclude the impact of items that management believes affect the comparability or underlying business trends in our consolidated financial statements in the periods presented. We believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and other users of our consolidated financial statements as an additional tool for evaluating operating performance. We believe they also provide a useful baseline for analyzing trends in our operations.

Investors should not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. See “Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures” accompanying this press release.

Non-GAAP adjustment or measure

 

Definition

 

Usefulness to management and investors

Disposition of Inventory Assets

 

Disposition of inventory assets relate to the sale of inventory and related cost of goods sold in connection with the divestiture of the NEOS brand.

 

We exclude the disposition of inventory assets for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because the sale and related cost of goods sold does not reflect our normal business operations. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to past operating results and provide investors with additional means to evaluate cost trends.

Inventory fair value adjustments

 

Inventory fair value adjustments are costs related to the fair value markup of inventory purchased with the acquisition of the performance and lifestyle footwear business of Honeywell International Inc. as required by business combination accounting rules.

 

We excluded adjustments related to the inventory fair value markup for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because these costs do not reflect the manufactured or sourced cost of the inventory of the acquired business. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to past operating results and provide investors with additional means to evaluate cost trends.

Acquisition-related amortization

 

Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets consists of amortization of intangible assets such as brands and customer relationships acquired in connection with the acquisition of the performance and lifestyle footwear business of Honeywell International Inc. Charges related to the amortization of these intangibles are recorded in operating expenses in our GAAP financial statements. Amortization charges are recorded over the estimated useful life of the related acquired intangible asset, and thus are generally recorded over multiple years.

 

We excluded amortization charges for our acquisition-related intangible assets for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because these charges are inconsistent in size and are significantly impacted by the valuation of our acquisition. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparison to past operating performance and provide investors with additional means to evaluate cost and expense trends.

Disposition of Assets

 

Disposition of assets relate disposals of non-financial assets. This includes the disposal of non-financial assets and corresponding expenses related to the divestiture of the NEOS brand and other long-lived assets at our manufacturing facilities.

 

We exclude the disposition of non-financial assets and related expenses for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because the loss does not accurately reflect our current operating performance and comparisons to past operating results and provide investors with additional means to evaluate cost trends.

Acquisition-related integration expenses

 

Acquisition-related integration expenses are expenses including investment banking fees, legal fees, transaction fees, integration costs and consulting fees tied to the acquisition of the performance and lifestyle footwear business of Honeywell International Inc.

 

We exclude acquisition-related expenses for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because the gain does not accurately reflect our current operating performance and comparisons to past operating results and provide investors with additional means to evaluate cost trends.

Restructuring Costs

 

Restructuring costs represent severance expenses associated with headcount reductions and the closing of the Westwood office following the integration of the acquired performance and lifestyle footwear business of Honeywell International Inc.

 

We excluded restructuring costs for purposes of calculating non-GAAP measures because these costs do not reflect our current operating performance. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our current operations performance and comparisons to past operating results and provide investors with additional means to evaluate expense trends.
