SKECHERS ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2012 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Net Sales of $429.4 Million
Net Earnings of $11.0 Million
Diluted Earnings Per Share of $0.22
MANHATTAN BEACH, CA. October 24, 2012 SKECHERS USA, Inc. (NYSE:SKX), a global footwear leader, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.
Net sales for the third quarter of 2012 were $429.4 million, compared to $412.2 million in the third quarter of 2011, and income from operations was $20.3 million, compared to $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2011. Net earnings for the quarter were $11.0 million compared to net earnings of $8.3 million in the third quarter of 2011. Net earnings per diluted share for the third quarter were $0.22 on 49.9 million diluted shares outstanding, compared to net earnings per diluted share of $0.17 on 49.4 million diluted shares outstanding for the third quarter of 2011.
During the third quarter, sales improved in our domestic wholesale division, company-owned retail stores and international distributor businesses as a result of growth in many of our mens, womens and kids lines, including strong sales in our expanding Performance division. Also, our company-owned SKECHERS domestic concept stores achieved low double-digit positive comp store sales for the entire quarter, a positive market indicator for the acceptance of our new product offerings, began David Weinberg, chief operating officer and chief financial officer. The only revenue channel which did not increase during the third quarter was our international subsidiary division, which was adversely affected by a combination of the very challenging economic retail environment in Europe and the Euro exchange rate, as well as declining toning sales in comparison to the prior year period. However, we are now seeing an overall positive trend within our largest international subsidiaries.
Mr. Weinberg continued: It is also important to note that currency translations reduced our net income by $1.4 million during the quarter, which reduced our after-tax diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.02. Also of note, we increased our total sales between the second and third quarters by 12 percent while general and administrative expenses remained relatively flat. We believe we will continue to further leverage our infrastructure positively in 2013.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2012 was $187.8 million, compared to $175.2 million in the third quarter of 2011. Gross margin was 43.7 percent for the third quarter of 2012, compared to 42.5 percent in the third quarter of 2011. Gross profit for the first nine months of 2012 was $514.9 million, or 44.2 percent of net sales, compared to $511.1 million, or 38.6 percent of net sales, in the first nine months of 2011.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net sales were $1.165 billion compared to net sales of $1.323 billion in the first nine months of 2011. Net earnings for the first nine months of 2012 were $5.6 million, compared to net loss of $9.8 million in the first nine months of 2011. Net income per diluted share in the first nine months of 2012 was $0.11 per share on 49.8 million diluted shares outstanding, compared to a net loss of $0.20 per share on 48.3 million diluted shares outstanding for the same period last year.
Robert Greenberg, SKECHERS chief executive officer, commented: The third quarter marked yet another first for Skechers with elite marathon runner, Meb, competing successfully in Skechers GOrun footwear during the 2012 London Olympics. Running with the best athletes in the world, Meb was the first American to finish and came in fourth place. We are extremely proud of his Olympic achievement and our recent awards from respected publications, including Editors Choice from Runners World (UK) for Skechers GObionic. Our success in the quarter was in part the result of the continued growing acceptance of our expanding Performance footwear by the running community and consumers alike, as well as many new product developments and fresh styles within our lifestyle collections, including the successful introduction of Relaxed Fit Footwear for men and the growth of BOBS from Skechers. Through BOBS we have now donated more than two million pairs of shoes to children in need thanks to the buy a pair, give a pair charitable program. In the quarter, we supported our performance, kids and lifestyle brands with advertising, including a new Mr. Quiggly commercial for Skechers GOrun Ride. We also released Twinkle Toes: The Movie on DVD in our SKECHERS stores and at key retailers. We are continuing to support our brands through the Fall and Holiday seasons, including the launch of a new mens campaign starring Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban earlier this month, baseball icon Tommy Lasorda next week, and football legend Joe Montana next month. We also extended our agreement with Dancing with the Stars host Brooke Burke, who will be appearing in several new print and television campaigns starting in Spring 2013. We are energized by the enthusiasm for our product in our SKECHERS retail stores, with our domestic retail partners and in many countries around the world. We are building on this momentum with a continued focus on delivering fresh innovative styles and are looking forward to a strong holiday season and growth in 2013.
Mr. Weinberg added: We are pleased with our continued improvements in financial performance and the positive response to our new products. Based on our key indicators and early sell through rates, we have confidence that all operating divisions domestic wholesale, international and retail will be up low to mid double digits in the fourth quarter. The combination of our recent growth, the coming Holiday season, and the reaction to our new product divisions, gives us confidence that SKECHERS is experiencing a resurgence on a global basis and we are on target to continue to grow profitably in 2013.
