NOTES:
1. Financial Statements
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, may not necessarily be indicative of the results for the full year.
Use of 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 that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) – Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which will require us to disclose disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The disclosure updates are required to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
3. Earnings Per Share
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Diluted earnings per share
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, excluded share-based awards totaling 120,000 and 62,000, respectively, as the impact of such awards was anti-dilutive.
4. Investments
All our marketable securities are classified as held-to-maturity debt securities and reported at amortized cost pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities, as we have both the intent and ability to hold these investments to maturity.
Below is a summary of the amortized cost and the estimated market values of our marketable securities as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025.

5. Intangible Assets
Our indefinite-lived intangible assets, comprised of goodwill and trademarks, are predominantly recorded in our North American Wholesale segment. There were no changes in the carrying value of our goodwill and trademarks during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Our amortizable intangible assets, which became fully amortized during the period, were included within other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and consisted of the following:

Amortization expense related to the intangible assets was $39,000 and $58,000 in the first quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively.
6. Segment Information
We have two reportable segments: North American wholesale operations (“Wholesale”) and North American retail operations (“Retail”). Our chief operating decision maker (our CEO) regularly reviews segment-level earnings from operations to assess segment performance and to allocate capital and personnel resources to the segments. The tables below present net sales, significant expenses, and earnings from operations by reportable segment, reconciled to total net sales, earnings from operations, and earnings before provision for income taxes. The significant expense categories and amounts align with the segment-level information that is regularly provided to the CEO. Corporate expenses are included in our Wholesale segment.

(1) Other net sales and losses from operations were derived from our retail and wholesale operations in Australia and South Africa (collectively, “Florsheim Australia”), which do not meet the criteria for separate reportable segment classification.
Transactions between segments consist of sales from the Wholesale to Retail segment. Intersegment sales are valued at the cost of inventory plus an estimated cost to ship the products. Intersegment sales were $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2026. Intersegment sales have been eliminated and are excluded from net sales in the above table.

The components of pension expense other than the service cost component are included in “other income (expense), net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
8. Leases
We lease retail shoe stores, as well as several office and distribution facilities worldwide. The leases have original lease periods expiring between 2026 and 2031. Many leases include one or more options to renew. We do not assume renewals in our determination of the lease term unless the renewals are deemed to be reasonably assured at lease commencement. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
The components of our operating lease costs were as follows:
Operating lease costs
1,165
1,081
Total lease costs
Variable lease costs primarily include percentage rentals based upon sales in excess of specified amounts. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, variable lease costs were $0.4 million.
Short-term lease costs, which were excluded from the above table, are not material to our financial statements.
The following is a schedule of maturities of operating lease liabilities as of March 31, 2026:

9. Income Taxes
The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were 26.6% and 26.5%, respectively. These rates differed from the U.S. federal rate of 21% primarily because of U.S. state taxes.
10. Share-Based Compensation Plans
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized $434,000 of compensation expense associated with stock option and restricted stock awards granted in years 2021 through 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized $427,000 of compensation expense associated with stock option and restricted stock awards granted in years 2020 through 2024.

*The aggregate intrinsic value of non-vested restricted stock was calculated using the market value of our Company’s common stock on March 31, 2026 of $32.05 multiplied by the number of non-vested restricted shares outstanding.
11. Short-Term Borrowings
At March 31, 2026, we had a $40.0 million revolving line of credit with a bank that is secured by a lien against our general business assets and expires on September 25, 2026. Outstanding advances on the line of credit bear interest at the one-month term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus 110 basis points. Our line of credit agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants (including a minimum tangible net worth financial covenant) that are customary for a facility of this type. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings on the line of credit, and we were in compliance with all financial covenants.
12. Financial Instruments
At March 31, 2026, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Florsheim Australia, had foreign exchange contracts outstanding to buy $3.0 million U.S. dollars at a price of approximately $4.3 million Australian dollars. These contracts all expire in 2026. Based on quarter-end exchange rates, there were no significant unrealized gains or losses on the outstanding contracts.
We determine the fair value of foreign exchange contracts based on the difference between the foreign currency contract rates and the widely available foreign currency rates as of the measurement date. The fair value measurements are based on observable market transactions, and thus represent a Level 2 valuation as defined by ASC 820.

15. Subsequent Event
In February 2025, the U.S. imposed reciprocal and retaliatory tariffs on certain imported goods under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). We paid a total of approximately $19.8 million in IEEPA tariffs in 2025 and the first quarter of 2026. The IEEPA tariffs increased the cost of our products by 19% to 50%, resulting in gross margin compression.
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs, declaring the IEEPA tariffs invalid. In April 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) commenced a phased process to accept claims for potential refunds of IEEPA tariffs previously paid. The refund process formally opened on April 20, 2026, and on that date, we submitted claims covering our Phase 1 entries totaling $18.6 million. The timing for submitting claims related to our Phase 2 entries, totaling $1.2 million, has not yet been established. The timing and amount of any recoveries remain uncertain and subject to execution by CBP.
Following the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling, the President announced the implementation of a new across-the-board tariff under a separate statutory authority, currently set at 10%, although the scope and rate remain subject to change. U.S. trade policies continue to evolve and remain unpredictable, creating near-term gross margin uncertainty. We have mitigation strategies in place and will continue to adjust, as appropriate, in response to future policy developments.

Forward-looking statements, by their nature, address matters that are, to varying degrees, uncertain. Therefore, the reader is cautioned that these forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties or other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described under Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2025, filed on March 13, 2026, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

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 include our retail and wholesale businesses in Australia and South Africa (collectively, “Florsheim Australia”). 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.
Current Business Trends – Incremental Tariffs
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Our overall company sales were flat for the first quarter, with Wholesale segment sales down 1% compared to the first quarter of last year. Given the uncertainty in the economic environment, we believe we are holding our position within our competitive market segments, with Florsheim continuing its strong performance streak.
Our legacy brands, which include Florsheim, Nunn Bush, and Stacy Adams, were collectively flat for the quarter, compared to the first quarter of 2025. The Florsheim brand was up 5%, driven by strong sales in the traditional dress category. While the overall dress footwear market has been trending downward over time, Florsheim has continued to gain market share.
Nunn Bush net sales were flat compared to the first quarter of 2025. We believe the brand is well-positioned as a leading value option in comfort casual and comfort dress footwear in an economy where many consumers are feeling stretched to cover day-to-day expenses.
Our Stacy Adams brand was down 9% compared to the same period last year. At retail, Stacy Adams sell-throughs have been solid; however, we believe retailers are not investing in fashion-dress shoes as they have in the past. This is especially true in department stores and family footwear channels. We are focused on diversifying the Stacy Adams product assortment to be less centered on dress shoes, with more casual offerings that align with today’s lifestyle.
Our BOGS brand was down 11% compared to the same period last year. We anticipate a strong second half of the year, as cold weather and precipitation last winter in the Midwest and East Coast helped clear excess inventory of weather boots. We are also encouraged by the launch of new, less insulated Spring footwear, which is selling well and paving the way for more year-round BOGS business.
Net sales in our retail segment were up 2% compared to the first quarter of 2025, led by strong Florsheim e-commerce sales. In the first quarter of 2025, we were still working through excess inventory across various areas of our branded portfolio. This year, we had less closeout inventory to sell through our websites, resulting in higher web margins as we sold more full-price footwear. We continue to invest in our e-commerce platform to better showcase our brands and drive long-term growth in direct-to-consumer sales.
Florsheim Australia’s net sales were up 10% compared to the first quarter of 2025, but flat in local currency. Consumers in these markets, including: Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and other Pacific Rim countries, are facing many of the same pressures as in North America. As a result, sales remain somewhat soft. We are focused on keeping expenses in line as we work to return to a growth trajectory.

Consolidated net sales remained flat for the quarter, as a 1% decline in Wholesale sales was offset by higher sales in the Retail segment and at Florsheim Australia.
Consolidated gross earnings as a percent of net sales were 44.2% and 44.6% in the first quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in 2026 was primarily due to higher costs resulting from incremental tariffs, partially offset by selling price increases instituted in the second half of last 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 totaled $4.5 million and $5.0 million in the first quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Consolidated selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 33% and 34% in the first quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively, with expenses down mainly in our Wholesale segment.
Consolidated earnings from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were up 7% compared to the same period one year ago. The increase in 2026 mainly resulted from lower Wholesale selling and administrative expenses.
Interest income for the first quarter increased $0.1 million due mainly to higher cash balances in 2026. Other income (expense), net, primarily includes the non-service cost components of pension (benefit) expense and net gains and losses on foreign currency transactions. The income/expense category improved in the first quarter of 2026, due to decreased pension expense and gains on favorable foreign exchange contracts.
Our effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were 26.6% and 26.5%, respectively. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on income taxes.
Consolidated net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were up 10% compared to the same period one year ago. The increase mainly resulted from lower selling and administrative expenses in our Wholesale segment this year.

Total North American Wholesale Segment
Wholesale net sales were $53.6 million for the quarter, down 1% from $54.3 million in the first quarter of 2025. Florsheim’s first quarter sales were up 5%, due to continued success in the dress shoe category. Florsheim’s increase was more than offset by lower sales of the Stacy Adams and BOGS brands, down 9% and 11%, respectively, due to lower retailer demand. Nunn Bush sales remained flat for the quarter.
Wholesale gross earnings as a percent of net sales were 38.7% and 39.4% in the first quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Gross margins for the quarter continued to be negatively impacted by incremental tariffs, partially offset by selling price increases instituted in the second half of last year. Wholesale selling and administrative expenses totaled $13.8 million, or 26% of net sales, for the quarter versus $14.8 million, or 27% of net sales, last year. The decreases in 2026 were largely due to lower employee costs.
Wholesale operating earnings totaled $7.0 million for the quarter, up 5% from $6.6 million in 2025, mainly due to lower selling and administrative expenses.
North American Retail Segment
Net sales in our retail segment, which were generated mainly through our e-commerce websites, totaled $8.8 million for the quarter, up 2% from $8.7 million in 2025. The increase resulted from higher sales of our e-commerce businesses, mainly driven by our Florsheim brand.

Retail gross earnings were 66.1% of net sales for the quarter and 66.6% in last year’s first quarter.
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 $5.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, down 2% from $5.2 million in last year’s first quarter. As a percentage of net sales, retail selling and administrative expenses were 57% and 60% in the first quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Retail operating earnings improved to $0.8 million for the quarter, compared to $0.6 million in last year’s first quarter, due to increased net sales and lower selling and administrative costs.
Other operations consist of our retail and wholesale businesses in Australia and South Africa (collectively, “Florsheim Australia”).
Net sales of Florsheim Australia were $5.6 million in the first quarter of 2026, up 10% from $5.1 million in 2025. The increase was due to the appreciation of the Australian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar, as Florsheim Australia’s net sales in local currency were flat for the quarter.
Florsheim Australia’s gross earnings as a percent of net sales were 62.9% and 62.7% in the first quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and its quarterly operating losses totaled $0.2 million in both periods.
Other income and expense
Interest income totaled $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2026 and $0.6 million in last year’s first quarter. The increase in 2026 was due to more interest earned on higher cash balances this year.
Other income (expense), net, primarily consisted of the non-service cost components of pension (benefit) expense and net gains and losses on foreign currency transactions. In the first quarter of 2026, other income (expense), net, totaled income of $0.2 million compared to expense of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2025. The improvement in 2026 was due to decreased pension expense and gains on favorable foreign exchange contracts entered into by Florsheim Australia.
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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $17.4 million for the first three months of 2026, up from $4.1 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by lower inventory levels in 2026. The decrease in inventory was mainly due to timing; our inventory is expected to get back into the $60 to $70 million range as we move through the year.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.4 million in the same period of 2025. Management anticipates total capital expenditures for the full year 2026 to range between $2.0 million and $3.0 million.
Financing Activities
Net cash used for financing activities totaled $23.9 million and $3.2 million in the first three months of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase was largely driven by a timing difference in our fourth-quarter and special dividend payments. The 2025 fourth-quarter and special dividend totaling $21.4 million was funded in January 2026 while the 2024 fourth-quarter and special dividend totaling $21.6 million was pre-funded in December 2024.
Cash dividends paid in the first quarter of 2026 totaled $23.9 million and included two dividend payments: our regular fourth-quarter and special dividend that was declared in 2025 and paid in 2026, and our regular first quarter dividend. Cash dividends paid in the first quarter of 2025 totaled $2.5 million and included one dividend payment: our regular first quarter dividend.
On May 5, 2026, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.28 per share to all shareholders of record on May 19, 2026, payable June 30, 2026. This represents an increase of 4% above the previous quarterly dividend rate of $0.27.
We repurchase our common stock under our share repurchase program when we believe market conditions are favorable. During the first three months of 2026, we repurchased 1,149 shares for a total cost of approximately $34,000. As of March 31, 2026, there were 671,076 authorized shares available for repurchase under the program. See Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” below for more information.
At March 31, 2026, we had a $40.0 million revolving line of credit with a bank that is secured by a lien against our general business assets and expires on September 25, 2026. Outstanding advances on the line of credit bear interest at the one-month term SOFR plus 110 basis points. Our line of credit agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants (including a minimum tangible net worth financial covenant) that are customary for a facility of this type. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
As of March 31, 2026, approximately $5.3 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.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
