PART 1

​

ITEM 1     BUSINESS

The Company is a Wisconsin corporation incorporated in the year 1906 as Weyenberg Shoe Manufacturing Company.  Effective April 25, 1990, the name of the corporation was changed to Weyco Group, Inc.

Weyco Group, Inc., and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “our,” “us,” and the “Company”) designs, markets, and distributes quality and innovative footwear principally for men, but also for women and children, under a portfolio of well-recognized brand names including: Florsheim, Nunn Bush, Stacy Adams, and BOGS. Trademarks we maintain on our brands are important to our business. Our products consist primarily of mid-priced leather dress shoes, casual footwear composed of man-made materials and leather, and outdoor boots, shoes, and sandals. Our footwear is available in a broad range of sizes and widths, primarily designed to meet the needs and desires of the general American population.

We purchase finished shoes from outside suppliers, primarily located in China and India, and to a lesser extent, in Cambodia, Vietnam, and the Dominican Republic.  Almost all of these foreign-sourced purchases are denominated in U.S. dollars. While we source from more than 80 suppliers, our two largest suppliers, located in China, each accounted for more than 10% of our total inventory purchases in 2025. Costs from our suppliers have historically been relatively stable, although in recent years there have been upward cost pressures due to higher freight, labor, and material costs. In addition, tariffs and other trade protection measures, including the incremental tariffs imposed by the U.S. government in 2025, specifically on goods sourced from China, have increased our cost of goods across all brands.

Our business is separated into two reportable segments – the North American wholesale segment (“Wholesale”) and the North American retail segment (“Retail”). We also have other wholesale and retail businesses overseas in Australia and South Africa (collectively, “Florsheim Australia”). Florsheim Australia previously included operations in the Asia-Pacific region, but we completed the wind down of that business in 2024.

Sales in our Wholesale segment, which include both wholesale sales and worldwide licensing revenues, constituted 78% and 79% of total net sales in 2025 and 2024, respectively.  At Wholesale, our shoes are marketed by retailers throughout the United States and Canada in more than 10,000 shoe, clothing and department stores. In 2025 and 2024, no individual customer accounted for or exceeded 10% of our total net sales. We employ traveling salespeople and independent sales representatives who sell our products to retail outlets. Shoes are shipped to these retailers primarily from our distribution center in Glendale, Wisconsin. In the men’s footwear business, there is generally no identifiable seasonality, although new styles are historically developed and shown twice each year, in spring and fall. With the BOGS brand, its strong presence in the winter and outdoor boot category results in some seasonality; the majority of BOGS sales occur in the third and fourth quarters. Consistent with industry practices, we carry significant amounts of inventory to meet customer delivery requirements and periodically provide extended payment terms to customers.  We also have licensing agreements with third parties who sell our branded apparel, accessories, and specialty footwear in the United States, as well as our footwear in Mexico and certain markets overseas.

Sales in our Retail segment constituted 13% of total net sales in both 2025 and 2024.  The Retail segment consists of e-commerce businesses and four brick and mortar stores in the United States.  Retail sales are made directly to consumers on our websites, or by our employees in our stores.  We believe that the results of our Retail segment will continue to be driven by our e-commerce businesses, as we have a limited number of brick-and-mortar stores. We intend to continue to focus on investing in and growing our e-commerce businesses.

Sales of our other businesses constituted 9% and 8% of total net sales in 2025 and 2024, respectively. These sales came from our retail and wholesale operations at Florsheim Australia.

As of December 31, 2025, we employed 569 persons worldwide, of whom 408 were full-time employees.

Brand recognition, price, quality, and service, are all important competitive factors in the shoe industry.  We have a design department that continually reviews and updates product designs.  Compliance with environmental and other government regulations historically has not had, and is not expected to have, a material impact on our results of operations, although there can be no assurances as to the future.

We make available, free of charge, copies of our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, proxy statements on Schedule 14A and all amendments to those reports upon written or telephone request.  Investors can also access these reports through our website, www.weycogroup.com, as soon as reasonably practical after we file or furnish those reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

​

ITEM 1A     RISK FACTORS

There are various factors that affect or might affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, many of which are beyond our control. The following is a description of some of the material factors that could materially and adversely affect our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition. These disclosures reflect the Company’s beliefs and opinions as to factors that could materially and adversely affect the Company and its securities in the future. References to past events are provided by way of example only and are not intended to be a complete listing or a representation as to whether or not such factors have occurred in the past or their likelihood of occurring in the future.

Risk factors related to our operations

We rely on independent foreign sources of production and the availability of leather, rubber and other raw materials; a deterioration in our relationships, or other issues affecting such manufacturers and/or issues with the availability of raw materials could have unfavorable effects on our business.

We purchase all our products from independent foreign manufacturers, primarily in China and India.  Although we believe that we have good working relationships with our manufacturers, we do not have long-term contracts with them. Thus, we could experience increases in manufacturing costs, disruptions in the timely supply of products or unanticipated reductions in manufacturing capacity, any of which could negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. We can move production to different suppliers; however, the transition may not occur smoothly or quickly, or at the same cost, which could result in us missing customer delivery date requirements and, consequently, we could lose future orders and our reputation may be harmed.

Our use of foreign sources of production results in relatively long production and delivery lead times.  Therefore, we typically forecast demand at least five months in advance.  If our forecasts are wrong or there are significant changes in demand, it would result in a loss of sales if we do not have enough product on hand or in reduced margins if we have excess inventory that needs to be sold at discounted prices.

Our ability to import products in a timely and cost-effective manner may be affected by disruptions at U.S. or foreign ports or other transportation facilities, such as those due to labor disputes and work stoppages, political unrest, trade protection measures or trade wars, severe weather (climate change may increase the frequency and severity of severe weather conditions or events), outbreaks of infectious diseases, or security requirements in the United States and other countries.  These issues could delay importation of products or require us to locate alternate ports or warehousing providers to avoid disruption to our customers. These alternatives may not be available on short notice or could result in higher transportation costs, which could have a material adverse impact on our overall profitability.  

Our products depend on the availability of raw materials, especially leather and rubber.  Any significant shortages of quantities or increases in the cost of leather or rubber would have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations, unless we were able to pass such costs along to our customers.

Government actions and regulations, such as export restrictions, tariffs and other trade protection measures could adversely affect our business.

Additional risks associated with foreign sourcing that could negatively impact our business include adverse changes in foreign economic conditions, import regulations, restrictions on the transfer of funds, duties, tariffs, quotas and political or labor interruptions, foreign currency fluctuations, expropriation, and nationalization. It is difficult to predict the effects of current or future tariffs and other trade barriers and disputes, and our efforts to reduce the effects of tariffs through pricing and other measures may not be effective.  

In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not authorize the President to impose tariffs and remanded related matters for further proceedings, however, certain other tariffs remain in effect. U.S. trade policies remain fluid and unpredictable. We cannot predict the timing or outcome of any proceedings relating to the incremental tariffs or whether, when or to what extent we will ultimately receive any refunds of amounts previously paid.

Other effects of these changes, including impacts on the price of raw materials, could also have significant impacts on our results of operations. Furthermore, we may not be able to increase prices for our products enough to offset tariffs, which could impact our margins. If we raise prices in response to tariffs, the demand for our products may decrease, which could have a negative impact on our sales. We cannot predict what further action may be taken with respect to export restrictions, tariffs or trade relations between the U.S. and other governments, and any further changes in U.S. or international trade policy could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

​

A disruption in our supply chain could adversely affect our profitability.

Most of our products for North American distribution are shipped to us via ocean freight carriers to ports primarily on the west coast of North America. Our reliance on ocean freight transportation for the delivery of our inventory exposes us to various inherent risks, including port congestion, severe weather conditions, labor issues, natural disasters, and terrorism, any of which could result in delivery delays and inefficiencies, increased costs and disruption of business. In recent years, our supply chain was disrupted by congestion throughout the supply chain, domestic port and warehousing delays, and container shortages, resulting in us incurring premium freight charges on a portion of our imports. In addition to these factors, global inflation has contributed to already higher incremental freight costs. Severe disruptions of the supply chain may force us to use more expensive methods to ship our products, and we may not be able to meet our customers’ delivery requirements, which may result in the loss of sales.

Any severe and prolonged disruption to ocean freight transportation could force us to rely on alternate and more expensive transportation systems. Efficient and timely inventory deliveries and proper inventory management are important factors in our operations. Extended delays and disruptions in shipments could result in changes in the availability of inventory, increased shipping costs, or missed sales that may materially adversely impact our business and results of operations.

Loss of the services of our top executives and an inability to effectively manage leadership transitions, could adversely affect the business.

Thomas W. Florsheim, Jr., our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and John W. Florsheim, our President, Chief Operating Officer and Assistant Secretary, each have a strong heritage within our Company and the footwear industry. They possess knowledge, relationships and reputations based on their lifetime exposure to and experience at our Company and the industry.  The unexpected loss of either one or both of our top executives could have an adverse impact on our performance. A loss of the skills, industry knowledge, contacts, and expertise of any of our senior executives could cause a setback to our operating plan and strategy.  In addition, transitions of important responsibilities to new individuals include the possibility of disruptions, which could negatively impact our business and results of operations.

If we fail to maintain effective internal control procedures over our financial reporting and disclosures, investor confidence may be adversely affected thereby affecting the value of our stock price.

We are required to maintain proper internal control over our financial reporting and adequate controls related to our disclosures. Under applicable regulations, internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. If we fail to maintain adequate controls resulting in a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, and/or if we are unable to remediate a material weakness on a timely basis, our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or the value of our stock may be adversely impacted.  

We may not be able to successfully integrate new brands and businesses.

We continue to look for acquisition opportunities.  Those search efforts could be unsuccessful and costs could be incurred in any failed efforts.  Further, if and when an acquisition occurs, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to successfully integrate the brand into our current operations, or that any acquired brand would achieve results in line with our historical performance or our specific expectations for the brand.

Risk factors related to our business and industry

Decreases in disposable income and general market volatility in the U.S. and global economy may adversely affect our Company.

Spending patterns in the footwear market, particularly those in the moderate-priced market in which a majority of our products compete, have historically been correlated with consumers’ disposable income.  As a result, the success of our Company is affected by changes in general economic conditions, especially in the United States.  Factors affecting discretionary income for our consumers include, among others, gas and energy costs, inflation rates, employment rates, interest rates and taxation.  Additionally, changes in the economy and consumer behavior generally impact the financial strength and buying patterns of retailers, which also affects our results. Volatile, unstable, or weak economic conditions, or a worsening of conditions, could adversely affect our sales volume and overall performance.

We are subject to risks related to operating in the retail environment that could adversely impact our business.

We are subject to risks associated with doing business in the retail environment, primarily in the United States.  The U.S. retail industry has experienced a growing trend toward consolidation of large retailers. The merger of additional major retailers could result in us losing sales volume or increasing our concentration of business with a few large accounts, resulting in reduced bargaining power, which could increase pricing pressures and lower our margins.  

We regularly assess our retail locations in the U.S. and overseas and have closed unprofitable retail locations and incurred costs related to such closures. Future closures could have a material adverse effect on our results.

Table of Contents

​

As the popularity of online shopping for consumer goods continues to increase, our retail partners in the U.S. and abroad may experience decreased foot traffic, which could negatively impact their businesses. In addition, significant health pandemics or outbreaks of infectious diseases could also lead to decreases in foot traffic. Decreases in foot traffic had, and in the future may have, a negative impact on our sales to those customers, and adversely affect our results of operations.

We operate in a highly competitive environment, which may result in lower prices and reduced profits.

The footwear market is extremely competitive.  We compete with numerous manufacturers, distributors and retailers of men’s, women’s and children’s shoes, some of which are larger and have substantially greater resources than we do.  We compete with these companies primarily on the basis of brand recognition, price, quality, and service, all of which are important competitive factors in the shoe industry.  Our ability to compete effectively depends upon these factors, as well as our ability to deliver new products at the best value for the consumer, maintain positive brand recognition, and obtain sufficient retail floor space and effective product presentation at retail.  If we do not remain competitive, future prospects, results of operations and financial condition would decline.

Changes in fashion trends and consumer preferences could negatively impact the Company.

Our success is dependent upon our ability to accurately anticipate and respond to rapidly changing fashion trends and consumer preferences. For example, purchases of dress and other dress-casual footwear were negatively affected during the COVID-19 pandemic as many consumers worked from home, and social and other occasion-related events were cancelled. Although many of these conditions have improved and evolved, consumers continue to gravitate toward casual shoes in lieu of traditional dress footwear. Additionally, a large portion of BOGS product is weather dependent and therefore can be negatively impacted by weather trends in North America. Failure to predict or effectively respond to trends or preferences could have an adverse impact on our sales volume and overall performance, as well as have a negative impact on our reputation.

We conduct business globally, which exposes us to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations as well as political, economic and social risks.

A portion of our revenues and expenses are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, with our primary exposures being to the Australian dollar and the Canadian dollar. We are therefore subject to foreign currency risks and foreign exchange exposure. Exchange rates can be volatile and could adversely impact our financial results.

We are exposed to other risks of doing business in foreign jurisdictions, including political, economic, or social instability, armed conflicts, acts of terrorism, civil unrest, changes in government policies and regulations, outbreaks of infectious diseases, severe weather events, natural disasters, and exposure to liabilities under anti-corruption laws (such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act). We are also exposed to risks relating to U.S. policy with respect to companies doing business in foreign jurisdictions. Additional legislation or other changes in the U.S. tax laws or interpretations could increase our U.S. income tax liability and adversely affect our after-tax profitability.  Changes in tax policy or trade regulations, such as the disallowance of tax deductions on imported merchandise or the imposition of new tariffs on imported products, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Ongoing military and political conflicts have adversely affected the global economy and contributed to geopolitical instability. These situations remain uncertain, and it is difficult to predict the impact that the conflicts and actions taken in response to them will have on our business. Our business may be impacted as a result of various factors, including inflation and actions taken to combat inflation, increased energy prices, a slowing U.S. economy, ocean freight disruptions, increased cyber-attacks, and reduced consumer confidence.

Risk factors related to cybersecurity

We are dependent on information and communication systems to support our business and e-commerce sales. Significant interruptions could disrupt our business and damage our reputation.

We accept and fill the majority of our larger customers’ orders through the use of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), and we rely on our warehouse management system to efficiently process orders.  Our corporate office relies on computer systems to efficiently process and record transactions.  Significant interruptions in EDI, information and communication systems from power loss, telecommunications failure, malicious attacks, or computer system failure or other causes could significantly disrupt our business and operations, as well as damage our reputation. In addition, we sell footwear on our websites, and failures of our or other retailers’ websites could adversely affect our sales, results, and reputation. The increasing sophistication of cyber threats, including those enabled by artificial intelligence (AI) tools, may increase the likelihood of attempts to compromise our systems or those of our third-party providers. Any such disruption or compromise could result in operational delays, data loss, increased costs, reputational harm, or litigation exposure, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operation.

We are subject to the risk of data loss and security breaches, particularly in our retail segment and our e-commerce businesses.

We sell footwear in our retail stores and on our websites, and therefore we and/or our third-party credit card processors must process, store, and transmit large amounts of data, including personal information of our customers. Failure to prevent or mitigate data loss or other security breaches, including breaches of our technology and systems, could expose us or our customers to a risk of loss or misuse

Table of Contents

​

of such information, which could adversely affect our operating results, result in litigation or potential liability, and/or otherwise harm our business and/or reputation.  Our technology and systems, as well as those of our partners have, and in the future may, become the target of cyberattacks. To our knowledge, we have not experienced a material breach; however, in order to address these risks, we have secured cyber insurance and use third party technology and systems to aid in safeguarding our data and systems, including, without limitation, encryption and authentication technology, content delivery to customers, back-office support, and other functions. Although we have developed systems and processes that are designed to protect customer information and prevent data loss and other security breaches, including systems and processes designed to reduce the impact of a security breach at a third-party vendor, such measures cannot provide absolute security.

Risk factors related to environmental, social, and corporate governance (“ESG”)

The Company could be negatively impacted by stakeholder reactions to our ESG initiatives.

In recent years, there has been increased focus on ESG matters by certain consumers, investors, employees, and other stakeholders, as well as by governmental and non-governmental organizations. Some organizations measure the performance of companies on ESG topics, and the results of these assessments may be widely publicized. In addition, some investment funds specialize in companies that perform well in such assessments. We have undertaken, and plan to continue undertaking, ESG initiatives. Any failure by us to meet our commitments, or loss of confidence on the part of customers, investors, employees, brand partners and other stakeholders as it relates to our ESG initiatives, could negatively impact our brands, business, financial condition, and our operating results. These impacts could be difficult and costly to overcome, even if such concerns were based on inaccurate or misleading information.

Achieving our ESG initiatives may result in increased costs in our supply chain, fulfillment, or corporate business operations, and could deviate from our initial estimates and have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. In addition, standards and research regarding ESG initiatives could change and become more onerous both for the Company and our third-party suppliers and vendors to meet successfully. Evolving data and research could undermine or refute the Company’s current claims and beliefs that it has made in reliance on current research, which could also result in costs, a decrease in revenue, changes to projections or plans, and negative market perception that could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Further, while we may create and publish voluntary disclosures regarding ESG matters from time to time, many of the statements in those voluntary disclosures are based on hypothetical expectations and assumptions that may or may not be representative of current or actual risks or events or forecasts of expected risks or events, including the costs associated therewith. Such expectations and assumptions are necessarily uncertain and may be prone to error or subject to misinterpretation given the long timelines involved in measuring and reporting on many ESG matters.

Furthermore, some stakeholders may disagree with our ESG initiatives and goals, as their views on these topics may change over time. These parties and regulators may also hold divergent opinions on these issues as well as conflicting expectations regarding our culture, values, goals and business, which may affect how we are regulated or perceived. Moreover, we may determine that it is in the best interest of the Company and our shareholders to prioritize other business investments over the achievement of our current ESG goals based on economic, technological developments, regulatory and social factors, business strategy or pressure from investors, activists, or other stakeholders.

Risk factors related to public health emergencies

Future public health emergencies could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

Our business could be adversely impacted by the effects of public health epidemics, pandemics or other major health crises (collectively referred to as "public health crises"). Actual or threatened public health crises may have a number of adverse impacts, including volatility in the global economy, impacts to our customers’ operations, or significant disruptions in waterborne transportation of cargoes and supply chain activity, caused by a variety of factors such as quarantines, supplier factory and office closures, or other government-imposed restrictions, any of which could adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We are unable to predict the extent to which major health crises or other public health threats that may arise in the future may affect the United States and global economies. The degree to which any future disease outbreaks or public health threats may impact our revenues, results of operations and financial condition is uncertain, and would depend on future developments. The impact of major health crises may also exacerbate other risks discussed above, any of which could have a material effect on the Company.

​

Risks related to financing, investment, and pension matters

Volatility and uncertainty in the U.S. and global credit markets could adversely affect our business.

U.S. and global financial markets have at times been unstable and unpredictable, which has generally resulted in tightened credit markets with heightened lending standards and terms. Ongoing military and political conflicts have adversely affected the global economy and contributed to geopolitical instability. Volatility and instability in the credit markets pose various risks to us, including, among others, a negative impact on retailer and consumer confidence, limits to our customers’ access to credit markets and interference with the normal

Table of Contents

​

commercial relationships between us and our customers.  Increased credit risks associated with the financial condition of some customers in the retail industry affects their level of purchases from us and the collectability of amounts owed to us, and in some cases, causes us to reduce or cease shipments to certain customers who no longer meet our credit requirements.  

In addition, weak economic conditions and unstable and volatile financial markets could lead to certain of our customers experiencing cash flow problems, which may force them into higher default rates or to file for bankruptcy protection which may increase our bad debt expense or further negatively impact our business. Furthermore, interest rate volatility may increase the cost of financing for us, our customers, or vendors.

Risk factors related to our capital structure

The limited public float and trading volume for our Company’s stock may have an adverse impact on the stock price or make it difficult to liquidate.

The Company’s common stock is held by a relatively small number of shareholders. The Florsheim family and Company insiders own more than 50% of the stock. Other officers, directors, and members of management own stock or have the potential to own stock through previously granted stock options and restricted stock.  Consequently, we have a relatively small public float and low average daily trading volume, which could affect a shareholder’s ability to sell stock or the price at which it can be sold.  In addition, future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market by large shareholders, or the perception that these sales could occur, may adversely impact the market price of the stock and the stock could be difficult for the shareholder to liquidate.

On several occasions since the program’s inception, our Board of Directors increased the number of shares authorized for repurchase under the program. In total, 8.5 million shares have been authorized for repurchase. The maximum number of shares that may yet be repurchased under the program as of December 31, 2025, was 672,225. The table below presents information regarding the repurchases of our common stock in the three-month period ended December 31, 2025.

​

Dividends

In the fourth quarter of 2025, we declared our regular quarterly dividend of $0.27 per share as well as a special cash dividend of $2.00 per share, for a total of $21.6 million; this dividend was paid to shareholders on January 9, 2026. On March 3, 2026, we resumed our regular quarterly dividends as our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.27 per share to all shareholders of record on March 13, 2026, payable March 31, 2026. The Company currently expects that comparable regular quarterly cash dividends will be paid in future quarters in fiscal 2026.

ITEM 7     MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

We design, market, and distribute quality and innovative footwear principally for men, but also for women and children, under a portfolio of well-recognized brand names including: Florsheim, Nunn Bush, Stacy Adams, and BOGS.  Inventory is purchased from third-party overseas manufacturers. Almost all of these foreign-sourced purchases are denominated in U.S. dollars. We have two reportable segments, North American wholesale operations (“Wholesale”) and North American retail operations (“Retail”). In the Wholesale segment, our products are sold to leading footwear, department, and specialty stores, as well as e-commerce retailers, primarily in the United States and Canada. We also have licensing agreements with third parties who sell our branded apparel, accessories, and specialty footwear in the United States, as well as our footwear in Mexico and certain markets overseas.  Licensing revenues are included in our Wholesale segment. Our Retail segment consists of e-commerce businesses and four brick-and-mortar retail stores in the United States. Retail sales are made directly to consumers on our websites, or by our employees in our stores.  Our “other” operations included our wholesale and retail businesses in Australia and South Africa (collectively, “Florsheim Australia”). Florsheim Australia previously included operations in the Asia-Pacific region, but we completed the wind down of that business in 2024. The majority of our operations are in the United States, and our results are primarily affected by the economic conditions and the retail environment in the United States.  

This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the consolidated operating results, financial position, and liquidity of our Company for the two-year period ended December 31, 2025. This discussion should be read in conjunction with Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” below.

KNOWN TRENDS IMPACTING OUR BUSINESS

​

In early 2025, the U.S. imposed reciprocal and retaliatory (“incremental”) tariffs on imported goods. Throughout 2025, incremental tariffs increased the cost of our products, resulting in gross margin compression.

​

On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not authorize the President to impose tariffs, invalidating the statutory basis for incremental tariffs enacted since February 2025. The matter has been remanded to the Court of International Trade for further proceedings, including issues relating to implementation and potential refunds. We paid approximately $16 million of incremental tariffs in 2025. In December 2025, we filed a lawsuit seeking a refund for amounts paid in connection with the incremental tariffs imposed pursuant to IEEPA.

​

The President responded to the ruling by announcing the implementation of a 10% across-the-board tariff under a separate statutory authority. The Administration has indicated that rates could be increased, subject to statutory limits. Certain other tariffs imposed under authorities independent of IEEPA remain in effect. U.S. trade policies remain fluid and unpredictable, creating near-term gross margin uncertainty. We have mitigation strategies in place and will continue to adjust as needed in response to future policy developments.

​

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

2025 was a difficult year for the Company, with sales declining 5% compared to 2024. While we are never content with a decline, given the challenges we faced related to tariffs and dampened consumer sentiment, we are pleased with the work done by our production and sales teams to navigate these economic headwinds.

​

For an extended period during the second quarter, we faced incremental tariff rates that rendered trade with China, our largest sourcing country, commercially prohibitive. Because the second quarter is a primary manufacturing period for our key Fall shipping window, this created a strong likelihood of disrupted deliveries to both our wholesale partners and our direct-to-consumer business. By strategically keeping production running on key programs and holding finished goods overseas, we positioned ourselves to deliver nearly 100% of our Fall shipments on time once tariffs were reduced to commercially viable levels.

​

Throughout 2025, new tariffs increased the cost of our products, resulting in gross margin compression despite a 10% price increase that took effect in July. Over the past year, we also made progress in diversifying our manufacturing base to be less China-centric.

​

Sales of our combined legacy business declined 4% for the year. Given the uncertain economic environment, particularly in soft goods, our Wholesale customers continued to take a conservative approach to inventory management.

​

The Florsheim brand achieved record sales of $92.0 million in 2025, a 2% increase over 2024. Sell-throughs of traditional dress and refined casual footwear have been strong, and the brand continues to make progress in the hybrid and dress sneaker categories.

Table of Contents

​

Our Nunn Bush business declined 10% for the year. The mid-tier trade channels, which account for the majority of Nunn Bush’s volume, remained under pressure, negatively impacting sales. As an opening price-point brand with major retailers, Nunn Bush also faces increased competition from private-label programs, as stores seek to improve margins. We believe we are taking the necessary steps to return Nunn Bush to growth, including value engineering product to meet key price points while delivering attributes and benefits not typically found in private-label offerings. Retail sell-through of Nunn Bush remains solid.

​

Stacy Adams’ sales declined 9% for the year, reflecting continued challenges in the fashion dress shoe market. While the Stacy Adams brand remains a leader in this category, retailers are devoting less inventory and shelf space to dress shoes. Our focus with Stacy Adams continues to be on expanding categories beyond its core elevated dress offerings.

​

The BOGS business remains difficult, with sales down 11% for the year. While early winter cold and snowfall resulted in strong sell-through of BOGS product, Fall sell-in declined year over year as retailers maintained a conservative, chase-based inventory strategy for seasonal product. Retailers ended the season with lower inventory levels, and we are now seeing strong booking increases for Fall 2026. While we are optimistic about improvement this year, we remain mindful of the long-term impact of climate change on the weather boot category. Our priority continues to be the development of footwear designed for multi-season use.

​

During 2025, we made the strategic decision to wind down operations of the Forsake brand due to its sustained lack of growth and profitability. This decision is part of our ongoing effort to optimize our brand portfolio and focus on those brands with the greatest potential for long-term success. The closure of Forsake is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

​

Net sales in our retail segment declined 8% for the year. In 2025, our e-commerce consumer was increasingly value-oriented. While our overall inventory position is cleaner than in the prior two years, which is positive, it resulted in lower conversion among customers motivated by clearance discounts. As we enter 2026, we remain disciplined in our approach to inventory management and anticipate a lower level of clearance sales.

​

Florsheim Australia’s net sales increased for the year, increasing 2% in local currency. Florsheim Australia, which includes New Zealand, South Africa, and our Asia wholesale business, remains a work in progress. While certain areas, such as Australian e-commerce, delivered solid gains, we continue to face challenges in our Australian wholesale business, where improvements are necessary to drive profitability.

​

Sales and Earnings Highlights

Consolidated net sales for 2025 were $276.2 million, down 5% compared to $290.3 million in 2024.  Consolidated gross earnings as a percent of net sales were 43.2% and 45.3% in 2025 and 2024, respectively. Operating earnings were $29.2 million, down 20% compared to $36.6 million in 2024.  Net earnings were $23.1 million, or $2.41 per diluted share, in 2025, down from $30.3 million, or $3.16 per diluted share, in 2024.

Financial Position Highlights

At December 31, 2025, our cash and marketable securities totaled $100.9 million and we had no debt outstanding on our $40.0 million revolving line of credit. During 2025, we generated $37.3 million of cash from operations. We used cash to pay $7.7 million in dividends, repurchase $5.3 million of our common stock, and we had $1.8 million of capital expenditures during the year. Additionally, during January 2026, we paid our 2025 fourth quarter and special cash dividends totaling $21.4 million to shareholders.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

​

Consolidated net sales declined 5% for the year, due mainly to lower demand in our Wholesale segment.

​

Consolidated gross earnings as a percentage of net sales were 43.2% in 2025, and 45.3% in 2024. The decrease in 2025 was primarily due to higher costs resulting from incremental tariffs enacted this year. Our cost of sales does not include distribution costs (e.g., receiving, inspection, warehousing, shipping, and handling costs) which are included in selling and administrative expenses. Consolidated distribution costs were $19.9 million and $21.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

​

Consolidated selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales were 33% in both 2025 and 2024.

​

Consolidated earnings from operations for 2025 were down 20% from the prior year. The decrease in 2025 mainly resulted from lower sales volumes and gross margins in our Wholesale segment.

​

Interest income decreased $0.7 million for the year, due mainly to lower interest rates in 2025. Other expense, net, primarily includes the non-service cost components of pension expense and net gains and losses on foreign currency transactions. The expense decreased in 2025, due to lower pension expense.

​

Our effective tax rates for 2025 and 2024 were 28.0% and 23.9%, respectively. See Note 13 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on income taxes.

​

Consolidated net earnings for 2025 were down 24% compared to 2024. The decrease mainly resulted from lower operating earnings in our Wholesale segment this year.

​

SEGMENT ANALYSIS

Net sales and earnings from operations for our reportable segments and the “other” category for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, were as follows:

​

North American Wholesale Segment

Wholesale Net Sales

Net sales in our Wholesale segment for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, were as follows:

​

​

Sales of Stacy Adams, Nunn Bush, and BOGS brands were down for the year, mainly as a result of lower demand, partially offset by the July 1, 2025 price increase. Conversely, Florsheim sales reached a record $92.0 million in 2025, driven by increased sales of dress and hybrid footwear. All our major brands’ sales were adversely affected by a large customer who failed to timely adopt our new pricing structure in the third quarter of 2025. Licensing revenues consist of royalties earned on sales of branded apparel, accessories, and specialty footwear in the United States and on branded footwear in Mexico and certain overseas markets. Licensing revenues decreased in 2025, compared to 2024, in line with decreased licensees’ sales of branded products.

Wholesale Earnings from Operations

Wholesale gross earnings as a percent of net sales were 37.5% in 2025 and 40.2% in 2024. Gross margins for the year were negatively impacted by incremental tariffs, discussed above. Wholesale selling and administrative expenses consist primarily of distribution costs, salaries and commissions, advertising costs, employee benefit costs, and depreciation. Wholesale selling and administrative expenses totaled $54.6 million for the year and $60.1 million last year. The decrease was largely due to lower employee costs. As a percent of net sales, wholesale selling and administrative expenses were 25% and 26% in 2025 and 2024, respectively. Wholesale operating earnings totaled $26.6 million for 2025, down 16% from $31.5 million in 2024, due to lower sales volumes and gross margins.

​

North American Retail Segment

Retail Net Sales

Retail net sales were $35.7 million in 2025, down 8% from a record $38.7 million in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower direct-to-consumer sales of Florsheim, BOGS and Stacy Adams footwear. BOGS website sales were also impacted by fewer promotional activities in 2025.

Retail Earnings from Operations

Retail gross earnings as a percent of net sales were 65.7% and 65.9% in 2025 and 2024, respectively. Retail operating earnings totaled $3.3 million for 2025 and $5.3 million last year. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales volumes. Selling and administrative expenses for the Retail segment consist primarily of freight, advertising expense, employee costs, rent and occupancy costs. Retail selling and administrative expenses were flat at $20.2 million in both 2025 and 2024. As a percent of net sales, Retail selling and administrative expenses were 57% in 2025 and 52% in 2024.  Retail operating earnings were $3.3 million in 2025, down 38% from $5.3 million in 2024, mainly due to lower sales volumes.

​

Other

Our other operations consist of our retail and wholesale businesses in Australia and South Africa (collectively, “Florsheim Australia”). Florsheim Australia previously included operations in the Asia-Pacific region, but we completed the wind down of that business in 2024. Florsheim Australia’s net sales remained relatively flat at $23.7 million and $23.6 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively. In local currency, Florsheim Australia’s net sales were up 2% for the year, driven by growth in its retail businesses. Florsheim Australia’s gross

Table of Contents

​

earnings as a percentage of net sales were 61.5% and 61.0% in 2025 and 2024, respectively.  Florsheim Australia generated operating losses totaling $0.7 million for 2025 and $0.2 million in 2024.

​

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE AND TAXES

Most of our interest income is generated by investments in money market mutual funds and marketable securities. Interest income totaled $3.0 million in 2025 compared to $3.7 million in 2024. The decrease in 2025 was due to less interest earned on cash balances, resulting mainly from lower interest rates. Other expense, net, totaled $0.1 million in 2025 and $0.4 million in 2024. Other expense was down in 2025 due mainly to a decrease in the non-service cost components of pension expense.

Our effective tax rates for 2025 and 2024 were 28.0% and 23.9%, respectively. The 2025 effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% because of state taxes and the establishment of a valuation allowance on Florsheim Australia’s deferred tax assets. The 2024 effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due mainly to the impact of state taxes partially offset by income tax benefits from share-based compensation.

​

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash, short-term marketable securities and our revolving line of credit. The following discussion focuses on information included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $37.3 million for 2025, down from $37.7 million last year. The decrease was driven by lower net earnings. This impact was mostly offset by favorable cash flows from inventory, as the inventory balance decreased relative to the prior year. We believe our inventory levels are at a healthy level as we move into 2026.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $0.2 million in 2025, compared to $1.2 million in 2024. The decrease in cash usage was primarily due to higher proceeds from maturities and sales of marketable securities. Capital expenditures amounted to $1.8 million in 2025 and $1.4 million in 2024. Looking ahead, we expect total capital expenditures to range between $1.0 million and $3.0 million in 2026.

Financing Activities

Net cash used for financing activities totaled $13.2 million and $32.2 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease was largely driven by a timing difference in our fourth-quarter and special cash dividend payments. The 2025 fourth-quarter and special dividend totaling $21.4 million was funded after year-end (in January 2026) while the 2024 fourth-quarter and special dividend totaling $21.6 million was pre-funded prior to year-end (in December 2024).

Cash dividends paid in 2025 totaled $7.7 million and included three dividend payments that were both declared and paid in 2025. Cash dividends paid in 2024 totaled $9.7 million and included four dividend payments: one that was declared in the fourth quarter of 2023 and paid in 2024 and three that were both declared and paid in 2024.

On March 3, 2026, our Board of Directors declared a first-quarter cash dividend of $0.27 per share to all shareholders of record on March 13, 2026, payable March 31, 2026.

We repurchase our common stock under our share repurchase program when we believe market conditions are favorable. In 2025, we purchased 176,691 shares at a total cost of $5.3 million through our share repurchase program. In 2024, we purchased 19,841 shares at a total cost of $0.6 million through our share repurchase program.  As of December 31, 2025, there were 672,225 authorized shares remaining under the program.

On September 26, 2025, we amended our line of credit agreement. The Amendment (“Amended Credit Agreement”) extended the maturity of our credit facility to September 25, 2026, and reduced the interest rate margin applicable to amounts outstanding by 15 basis points. Under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, there is a maximum available borrowing limit of $40.0 million, and amounts outstanding bear interest at the one-month term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus 110 basis points. The Amended Credit Agreement is secured by a lien against our general business assets, and contains representations, warranties and covenants (including a

Table of Contents

​

minimum tangible net worth financial covenant) that are customary for a facility of this type. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no outstanding borrowings on the line of credit, and we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

​

Financing Activities – Non-cash

Our regular fourth-quarter 2024 and special cash dividend totaling $21.6 million were prefunded in December 2024 and paid to shareholders in January 2025. This dividend payment was reflected as a non-cash financing activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for 2025.

Other

As of December 31, 2025, approximately $5.9 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by our foreign subsidiaries.

We continue to evaluate the best uses for our available liquidity, including, among other uses, capital expenditures, continued stock repurchases and acquisitions. We believe that available cash, marketable securities, and cash provided by operations will provide adequate support for the cash needs of the business for at least one year, although there can be no assurances.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. The following policies are considered by management to be the most critical in understanding the significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

BOGS Trademark

In evaluating the BOGS trademark for impairment, we estimated its fair value using the relief-from-royalty method which required key assumptions. We estimated future sales of the brand based on historical and forecasted sales growth. We estimated an implied royalty rate that would hypothetically be paid by a market participant for use of the trademark based on comparable industry royalty agreements and other market data. We applied a discount rate to the estimated future cash flows, which was based on the Company’s weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”), adjusted for a higher relative level of risk associated with intangible assets. The WACC includes assumptions such as market capital structure, market beta, risk-free rate of return, and estimated costs of borrowing. While we believe our judgments and assumptions are reasonable, different assumptions could change the estimated fair value. A number of factors, many of which we have no ability to control, could cause actual results to differ from the assumptions employed, including:

​

If there are changes to our assumptions due to these factors, the estimate of fair value may change significantly. Such change could result in an impairment charge in a future period, which could significantly impact our results of operations or financial condition. Based on the results of our assessment, we concluded that the estimated fair value of the BOGS trademark exceeded its carrying value as of December 31, 2025. Therefore, no impairment was recorded on the BOGS trademark in 2025.  

Pension Plan Accounting

Our pension expense and corresponding obligation are determined on an actuarial basis and require certain actuarial assumptions.  We believe the two most critical of these assumptions are the discount rate and the expected rate of return on plan assets.  We evaluate actuarial assumptions annually on the measurement date (December 31) and make modifications based on such factors as market interest rates and historical asset performance.  Changes in these assumptions can result in different expense and liability amounts, and future actual experience can differ from these assumptions.

Discount Rate – Pension expense and projected benefit obligations both increase as the discount rate is reduced.  See Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for discount rates used in determining pension expense for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the funded status of the plans at December 31, 2025 and 2024.  We use the spot-rate approach to determine the

Table of Contents

​

service and interest cost components of pension expense. Under the spot-rate approach, the service and interest costs were calculated by applying specific spot rates along the yield curve to the relevant projected cash flows, to provide a better estimate of future service and interest costs. A 0.5% decrease in the discount rate would have a nominal impact on annual pension expense and would increase the projected benefit obligation by approximately $2.3 million.  

Expected Rate of Return – Pension expense increases as the expected rate of return on pension plan assets decreases.  In estimating the expected return on plan assets, we consider the historical returns on plan assets and future expectations of asset returns.  We utilized an expected rate of return on plan assets of 6.75% for both 2025 and 2024. This rate was based on our Company’s long-term investment policy of equity securities: 20% - 100%; fixed income securities: 20% - 80%; and other, principally cash:  0% - 20%.  A 0.5% decrease in the expected return on plan assets would increase annual pension expense by approximately $0.2 million.

Our unfunded benefit obligation was $8.1 million and $10.4 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Weyco Group, Inc.

​

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Weyco Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows, for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 13, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Trademarks – BOGS Trademark – Refer to Notes 2 and 8 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company records trademarks, which are indefinite-lived intangible assets, in Trademarks within the consolidated balance sheet. Trademarks are reviewed for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company performed its annual impairment tests on December 31, 2025. The BOGS Trademark is a component of the consolidated Trademarks balance. The Company’s evaluation of the BOGS Trademark for impairment involves the comparison of the fair value of the trademark to its carrying value. The Company’s estimate of the fair value of the BOGS Trademark is based on an income approach using the relief-from-royalty method. This method requires management to make significant judgments and estimates in developing forecasts of future sales and determining the discount rate and royalty rate which are used in estimating the BOGS Tradename fair value. The Company determined that the fair value of the BOGS Trademark exceeded its carrying value as of the measurement date and, therefore, no impairment was recorded.

Table of Contents

​

We identified the impairment evaluation of the BOGS Trademark as a critical audit matter because of the significant judgments management makes related to forecasts of future sales and the determination of the discount rate and royalty rate. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, when performing audit procedures.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to forecasts of future sales and the determination of the discount rate and royalty rate used by management to estimate the fair value of the BOGS Trademark included the following, among others:
