PART I

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.

          The Company and its subsidiaries engage in one line of business, the distribution of men’s footwear. The Company does not sell women’s shoes because this market differs significantly from the men’s market.

          On May 20, 2002, the Company acquired from Florsheim Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Florsheim”), certain assets of Florsheim’s U.S. wholesale business, including its accounts receivable, trademarks, and other information assets, wholesale inventory (with specified exceptions) and other specified assets, as well as the leaseholds and associated assets for 23 retail and outlet shoe stores. On July 1 and July 27, 2002, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed the operating liabilities of Florsheim Europe S.r.l. and Florsheim France SARL, respectively. This business consists of Florsheim’s European wholesale business, as well as three retail stores in Germany, Italy and France. The total purchase price of the acquistion was $48.5 million, including $1.7 million of acquisition costs.

          The principal brands of shoes sold by the Company are “ Florsheim,” “Nunn Bush,” “Nunn Bush NXXT,” “Brass Boot,” “Stacy Adams,” and “SAO by Stacy Adams.” Trademarks maintained by the Company on these names are important to the business. The Company’s products consist of both mid-priced quality leather dress shoes which would be worn as a part of more formal and traditional attire and quality casual footwear of man-made materials or leather which would be appropriate for leisure or less formal occasions. The Company’s footwear, and that of the industry in general, is available in a broad range of sizes and widths, primarily purchased to meet the needs and desires of the American male population.

          The Company purchases finished shoes from outside suppliers around the world. The majority of these foreign-sourced purchases are denominated in U. S. dollars. There have been few inflationary pressures in the shoe industry in recent years and leather and other component prices have been stable. It is anticipated that, when necessary, selling price increases could be initiated to offset periodic increases in costs of purchased shoes. The Company previously assembled a small portion of its footwear at one plant in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. In December 2003, the Company ceased its manufacturing operations. All inventory is now purchased from foreign suppliers. The Beaver Dam facility still operates the Company’s reconditioning, rework and returned goods departments.

          The Company’s business is separated into two segments - wholesale and retail. Wholesale sales constituted approximately 86% of total sales in 2004, 87% in 2003 and 90% in 2002. At wholesale, shoes are marketed nationwide through more than 10,000 shoe, clothing and department stores. Sales are to unaffiliated customers, primarily in North America, with some distribution in Europe. Sales to the Company’s largest customer, J. C. Penney, were 12% of total sales in 2004 and 2003. Net sales to foreign customers were $10.8 million, $9.1 million and $5.9 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company employs traveling salesmen who sell the Company’s products to retail outlets. Shoes are shipped to these retailers primarily from the Company’s distribution center maintained in Glendale, Wisconsin. Although there is no clearly identifiable seasonality in the men’s footwear business, new styles are historically developed and shown twice each year, in spring and fall. In accordance with industry practices, the Company is required to carry significant amounts of inventory to meet customer delivery requirements and periodically provides extended payment terms to customers. The Company also has licensing agreements with third parties who sell its branded shoes overseas, as well as licensing agreements with apparel and accessory manufacturers in the United States. Licensing revenues are included in net sales and constitute approximately 2% of total net sales in 2004 and 2003, and 1% in 2002.

          Retail sales constituted approximately 12% of total sales in 2004, 11% in 2003 and 9% of total sales in 2002. In the retail division, there are currently 29 company-operated stores in principal cities of the United States and three retail stores in major cities in Europe. Sales in retail outlets are made directly to the consumer by Company employees. In addition to the sale of the Company’s brands of footwear in these retail outlets, other branded footwear and accessories are also sold in order to provide the consumer with as complete a selection as practically possible.

          As of December 31, 2004, the Company had a backlog of $25 million of confirmed orders compared with $24 million as of December 31, 2003. This does not include unconfirmed blanket orders from customers. All orders are expected to be filled within one year.

          As of December 31, 2004, the Company employed approximately 384 persons. Of those 384 employees, approximately 34 were members of collective bargaining units. The Company ratified new contracts covering the majority of these employees during 2002 and in early 2003. Future wage and benefit increases under the contracts are not expected to have a significant impact on the future operations or financial position of the Company.

          Price, quality and service are all important competitive factors in the shoe industry and the Company has been recognized as a leader in all of them. Although the Company engages in no specific research and development activities, new products and new processes are continually being tested by the Company and used where appropriate, in order to produce the best value for the consumer, consistent with reasonable price. Compliance with environmental regulations historically has not had, and is not expected to have, a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.

          The Company makes available, free of charge, copies of its annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports upon written or telephone request. Investors can also access these reports through the Company’s website, www.weycogroup.com, as soon as reasonably practical after we file or furnish those reports to the SEC. The information on the website is not a part of this filing.
