Steve Madden Announces First Quarter 2013 Results
LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y., May 7, 2013 – Steve Madden (Nasdaq: SHOO), a leading designer and marketer of fashion footwear and accessories for women, men and children, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.
For the first quarter 2013:
| ● | Net sales increased 4.9% to $278.9 million compared to $266.0 million in the same period of 2012. |
| ● | Retail comparable store sales increased 3.0%. |
| ● | Gross margin expanded 70 basis points to 36.8% compared to 36.1% in the same period last year due primarily to an increased mix of retail, which has higher gross margins than the wholesale business. |
| ● | Consolidated operating expenses as a percentage of sales were 25.3% compared to 24.5% in the same period of the prior year due to an increased mix of retail, which has higher operating expenses as a percentage of sales than the wholesale business. |
| ● | Operating income totaled $36.4 million, or 13.1% of net sales, compared with operating income of $35.4 million, or 13.3% of net sales, in the same period of 2012. |
| ● | Net income increased 7.0% to $23.4 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, compared to $21.9 million, or $0.50 per diluted share in the prior year’s first quarter. |
Edward Rosenfeld, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We delivered solid sales and earnings results in the first quarter despite challenging weather conditions and retail traffic trends. These results are attributable to continued momentum in our accessories business, growth in our retail segment driven by both new stores and moderate comparable store sales growth, as well as expansion of our international business. Steve and his design team continue to deliver outstanding, on-trend product assortments that are enabling us to outperform the competition, and so despite the challenging environment, we are confident we can continue to advance on our growth objectives.”
First Quarter 2013 Segment Results
Net sales from the wholesale business grew 2.2% to $233.9 million in the first quarter compared to $228.9 million in the first quarter of 2012, due to continued strong growth in the wholesale accessories business, partially offset by a modest decrease in the wholesale footwear business driven by a decline in our Topline division. Gross margin in the wholesale business was 32.3%, flat to last year’s first quarter.
Retail net sales rose 21.7% to $45.1 million compared to $37.0 million in the first quarter of the prior year. Same store sales increased 3.0% following an 11.9% increase in the prior year’s first quarter. Retail gross margin increased to 60.3% in the first quarter of 2013 compared to 60.1% in the first quarter of 2012, driven by an increased mix of sales from the higher-margin SM Canada retail business.
The Company opened one Steve Madden full-price store in the first quarter and ended the quarter with 110 company-operated retail locations, including 11 outlets and three Internet stores.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
During the quarter, the Company repurchased 252,214 shares of the Company’s common stock for $11.1 million at an average price of $44.17 per share.
At the end of the first quarter, cash, cash equivalents, and current and non-current marketable securities totaled $277.9 million.
Company Outlook
