STEVEN MADDEN, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Unaudited
September 30, 2014
($ in thousands except share and per share data)
Note A – Basis of Reporting
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Steven Madden, Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain adjustments were made to prior years' amounts to conform to the 2014 presentation. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in the Annual Report of Steven Madden, Ltd. on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2014.
Note B – Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant areas involving management estimates include allowances for bad debts, returns and customer chargebacks, inventory valuation, valuation of intangible assets, litigation reserves and contingent payment liabilities. The Company provides reserves on trade accounts receivables and factor receivables for future customer chargebacks and markdown allowances, discounts, returns and other miscellaneous compliance related deductions that relate to the current period sales. The Company evaluates anticipated chargebacks by reviewing several performance indicators of its major customers. These performance indicators, which include retailers’ inventory levels, sell-through rates and gross margin levels, are analyzed by management to estimate the amount of the anticipated customer allowance.
Note C – Factor Receivable
The Company has a collection agency agreement with Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. (“Rosenthal”) that became effective on September 15, 2009. The agreement can be terminated by the Company or Rosenthal at any time upon 60 days prior written notice. Under the agreement, the Company can request advances from Rosenthal of up to 85% of aggregate receivables submitted to Rosenthal. The agreement provides the Company with a $30 million credit facility with a $15 million sub-limit for letters of credit at an interest rate based, at the Company’s election, upon either the prime rate or LIBOR. The Company also pays a fee based on a percentage of the gross invoice amount submitted to Rosenthal. With respect to receivables related to our private label business, the fee is 0.14% of the gross invoice amount. With respect to all other receivables, the fee is 0.25% of the gross invoice amount. Rosenthal assumes the credit risk on a substantial portion of the receivables that the Company submits to it and, to the extent of any loans made to the Company, Rosenthal maintains a lien on all of the Company’s receivables to secure the Company’s obligations.
Note D – Notes Receivable
As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Notes Receivable were comprised of the following:
September 30, 2014 | December 31, 2013 | |||
Note receivable from seller of SM Canada | $2,440 | $3,171 | ||
In connection with the Company's February 21, 2012 acquisition of all of the assets comprising the footwear, handbags and accessories wholesale and retail businesses of Steve Madden Canada Inc., Steve Madden Retail Canada Inc., Pasa Agency Inc. and Gelati Imports Inc. (collectively, "SM Canada"), the Company's sole distributor in Canada since 1994, the Company provided

Note D – Notes Receivable (continued)
an interest-free loan to the seller of SM Canada in the principal amount of $3,107 Canadian dollars (which converted to approximately $3,085 in U.S. dollars at the time of acquisition). The note is payable in five annual installments which are due on the dates that the five annual earn-out payments are payable. The note was recorded net of the imputed interest, which will be amortized to income over the term of the note.
The first payment of principal was made in January 2014. To the extent that any earn-out is not achieved in future earn-out periods, the repayment of the note may result in less than the entire principal amount of the loan being repaid. In such event the unpaid annual installment of the principal of the note will be forgiven.
Note E – Marketable Securities
Marketable securities consist primarily of certificates of deposit and corporate bonds with maturities greater than three months and up to ten years at the time of purchase as well as marketable equity securities. These securities, which are classified as available-for-sale, are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of any tax effect, reported in stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, gains of $674 and $678 were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized in the income statement in other income compared to losses of $263 and $136 for the comparable periods in 2013. These securities are classified as current and non-current marketable securities based upon their maturities. Amortization of premiums and discounts is included in interest income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the amortization of bond premiums totals $51 and $324 compared to $161 and $521 for the comparable periods in 2013. The values of these securities may fluctuate as a result of changes in equity values, market interest rates and credit risk. The schedule of maturities at September 30, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:
Maturities as of September 30, 2014 | Maturities as of December 31, 2013 | ||||||||||||||
1 Year or Less | 1 to 10 Years | 1 Year or Less | 1 to 10 Years | ||||||||||||

Total | $ | 16,989 | $ | 2,573 | $ | 20,591 | $ | 91,267 | |||||||
Note F – Fair Value Measurement
The accounting guidance under Accounting Standards Codification “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”) requires the Company to make disclosures about the fair value of certain of its assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. ASC 820-10 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. A brief description of those three levels is as follows:
• | Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
• | Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. |
• | Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs. |
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are as follows:

Note F – Fair Value Measurement (continued)
For the note receivable due from related party (see Note I) and from the seller of SM Canada (see Note D), the carrying value was determined to be the fair value, based upon their imputed or actual interest rates, which approximate current market interest rates.
The Company has recorded a liability for potential contingent consideration in connection with the August 13, 2014 acquisition of Dolce Vita (see Note M). Pursuant to the terms of an earn-out agreement between the Company and the seller of Dolce Vita, earn-out payments will be due annually to the seller of Dolce Vita based on the financial performance of Dolce Vita for each of the twelve-month periods ending on September 30, 2015 through 2016, inclusive. The fair value of the contingent payments was estimated using the present value of management’s projections of the financial results of Dolce Vita during the earn-out period.
The Company has recorded a liability for potential contingent consideration in connection with the February 21, 2012 acquisition of SM Canada. Pursuant to the terms of an earn-out agreement between the Company and the seller of SM Canada, earn-out payments will be due annually to the seller of SM Canada based on the financial performance of SM Canada for each of the twelve-month periods ending on March 31, 2013 through 2017, inclusive. An earn-out payment of $3,315 for the period ended March 31, 2014 was paid to the seller of SM Canada in the second quarter of this year. The fair value of the contingent payments was estimated using the present value of management’s projections of the financial results of SM Canada during the earn-out period. The current portion of the earn-out due based on the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2015 approximates the recorded value.
The Company has recorded a liability for potential contingent consideration in connection with the May 25, 2011 acquisition of Cejon Inc., Cejon Accessories, Inc. and New East Designs, LLC (collectively "Cejon"). Pursuant to the terms of an earn-out agreement between the Company and the sellers of Cejon, earn-out payments will be made annually to the sellers of Cejon, based on the financial performance of Cejon for each of the twelve-month periods ending on June 30, 2012 through 2016, inclusive. The current year payment was made during the third quarter in the amount of $5,160. The fair value of the remaining contingent payments was estimated using the present value of management's projections of the financial results of Cejon during the earn-out period.
The carrying value of certain financial instruments such as accounts receivable, due from factor and accounts payable approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of their underlying terms. The fair values of investment in marketable securities available for sale are determined by reference to publicly quoted prices in an active market.
Note G – Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue on wholesale sales when products are shipped pursuant to its standard terms, which are freight on board (“FOB”) Company warehouse, or when products are delivered to the consolidators, or any other destination, as per the terms of the customers’ purchase order, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Sales reductions on wholesale sales for anticipated discounts, allowances and other deductions are recognized during the period when sales are recorded. With the exception of our cold weather accessories business, we do not accept returns from our wholesale customers unless there are product quality issues, which we charge back to the vendors. Sales of cold weather accessories to wholesale customers are recorded net of returns, which are estimated based on historical experience. Such amounts have historically not been material. Retail sales are recognized when the payment is received from customers and are recorded net of estimated returns. The Company also generates commission income acting as a buying agent by arranging to manufacture private label shoes to the specifications of its clients. The Company’s commission revenue includes fees charged for its design, product and development services provided to certain suppliers in connection with the Company’s private label business. Commission revenue and product and development fees are recognized as earned when title to the product transfers from the manufacturer to the customer and collections are reasonably assured and are reported on a net basis after deducting related operating expenses.

Note G – Revenue Recognition (continued)
Company’s international distributors are required to pay the Company a royalty based on a percentage of net sales, in addition to a commission and a design fee on the purchases of the Company’s products. Licensing revenue is recognized on the basis of net sales reported by the licensees, or the minimum guaranteed royalties, if higher. In substantially all of the Company’s license agreements, the minimum guaranteed royalty is earned and payable on a quarterly basis.
Note H – Sales Deductions
The Company supports retailers’ initiatives to maximize sales of the Company’s products on the retail floor by subsidizing the co-op advertising programs of such retailers, providing them with inventory markdown allowances and participating in various other marketing initiatives of its major customers. In addition, the Company accepts returns for damaged products for which the Company’s costs are normally charged back to the responsible third-party factory. Such expenses are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements as deductions to net sales.
Note I – Note Receivable – Related Party
On June 25, 2007, the Company made a loan to Steve Madden, its Creative and Design Chief and a principal stockholder of the Company, in the amount of $3,000 in order for Mr. Madden to satisfy a personal tax obligation resulting from the exercise of stock options that were due to expire and to retain the underlying Company common stock, which common stock he pledged to the Company as collateral to secure the loan. Mr. Madden executed a secured promissory note in favor of the Company bearing interest at an annual rate of 8%, which was due on the earlier of the date Mr. Madden ceases to be employed by the Company or December 31, 2007. The note was amended and restated as of December 19, 2007 to extend the maturity date to March 31, 2009, and amended and restated again as of April 1, 2009 to change the interest rate to 6% and the maturity date to June 30, 2015 at which time all principal and accrued interest would become due. On January 3, 2012, in connection with an amendment of Mr. Madden’s employment contract, the note was again amended and restated (the “Third Amended and Restated Note”) to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2023 and eliminate the accrual of interest after December 31, 2011. In addition, the Third Amended and Restated Note provides that, commencing on December 31, 2014, and annually on each December 31 thereafter through the maturity date, one-tenth of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest, will be cancelled by the Company, provided that Mr. Madden continues to be employed by the Company on each such December 31. As of December 31, 2011, $1,090 of interest has accrued on the principal amount of the loan related to the period prior to the elimination of the accrual of interest and has been reflected on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Based upon the increase in the market value of the Company’s common stock since the inception of the loan, on July 12, 2010, the Company released from its security interest a portion of the shares of the Company’s common stock, pledged by Mr. Madden as collateral for the loan. The number of shares of the Company's common stock currently securing the repayment of the loan is 472,500 shares. On September 30, 2014, the total market value of these shares was $15,229. Pursuant to the elimination of further interest accumulation under the Third Amended and Restated Note, the outstanding principal and the accrued interest has been discounted to reflect imputed interest.
Note J – Share Repurchase Program
The Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”), effective as of January 1, 2004, originally providing for repurchases of shares of the Company's common stock in the aggregate amount of $20,000. The Share Repurchase Program does not have a fixed expiration or termination date and may be modified or terminated by the Board of Directors at any time. On several occasions the Board of Directors has increased the amount authorized for the repurchase of shares. The Share Repurchase Program permits the Company to effect repurchases from time to time through a combination of open market repurchases or in privately negotiated transactions at such prices and times as are determined to be in the best interest of the Company. On April 29, 2014, the Board of Directors approved the continuation of the Company's Share Repurchase Program for up to $150,000 in repurchases of the Company's common stock which includes amounts remaining under the prior authorization. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an aggregate of 3,000,922 shares of the Company's common stock was repurchased, in the open market, under the Share Repurchase Program, at an average price per share of $33.91, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $101,751. As of September 30, 2014, approximately $90,240 remained available for future repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program.

Note K – Net Income Per Share of Common Stock
Basic net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, which does not include unvested restricted common stock subject to forfeiture of 4,129,000 and 4,156,000 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to 4,290,000 and 4,305,000 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Diluted net income per share reflects: (a) the potential dilution assuming shares of common stock were issued upon the exercise of outstanding in-the-money options and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period, and (b) the vesting of granted nonvested restricted stock awards for which the assumed proceeds upon vesting are deemed to be the amount of compensation cost not yet recognized attributable to future services using the treasury stock method, to the extent dilutive. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, options to purchase approximately 362,000 and 347,000 shares of common stock, respectively, have been excluded in the calculation of diluted net income per share as compared to 1,000 and 21,000 shares that were excluded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, as the result would have been antidilutive. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, all unvested restricted stock awards were dilutive.
Note L – Equity-Based Compensation
In March 2006, the Company's Board of Directors approved the Steven Madden, Ltd. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) under which nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted stock, other stock-based awards and performance-based cash awards may be granted to employees, consultants and non-employee directors. The stockholders approved the Plan on May 26, 2006. On May 25, 2007, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Plan to increase the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Plan from 4,050,000 to 5,231,250. On May 22, 2009, the stockholders approved a second amendment to the Plan that increased the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Plan to 13,716,000. On May 25, 2012, the stockholders approved a third amendment to the Plan that increased the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Plan to 23,466,000. The following table summarizes the number of shares of common stock authorized for use under the Plan, the number of stock-based awards granted (net of expired or cancelled awards) under the Plan and the number of shares of common stock available for the grant of stock-based awards under the Plan:
Common stock authorized | 23,466,000 | |

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, options to purchase approximately 32,072 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $25.69 and options to purchase approximately 462,846 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $21.48 vested, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, options to purchase approximately 72,440 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $16.90 and options to purchase approximately 979,436 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $12.58 vested, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, there were unvested options relating to 1,123,000 shares of common stock outstanding with a total of $8,312,061 of unrecognized compensation cost and an average vesting period of 2.82 years.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of options granted, which requires several assumptions. The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on the historical experience of similar awards. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. With the exception of special dividends paid in November of 2005 and 2006, the Company historically has not paid regular cash dividends and thus the expected dividend rate is assumed to be zero. The following weighted average assumptions were used for stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:
2014 | 2013 | |||
Volatility | 28.8% to 31.8% | 36.5% to 44.8% | ||
Risk free interest rate | 1.06% to 1.80% | 0.37% to 1.26% | ||
Expected life in years | 4.1 to 5.1 | 4.1 to 5.1 | ||
Dividend yield | 0.00% | 0.00% | ||

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had $80,892 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards granted under the Plan. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average of 8.08 years. The Company determines the fair value of its restricted stock awards based on the market price of its common stock on the date of grant.
On January 3, 2012, the Company and its Creative and Design Chief, Steven Madden, entered into an amendment of Mr. Madden’s existing employment agreement, pursuant to which, on February 8, 2012, Mr. Madden was granted 1,463,057 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock at the then market price of $27.34, which will vest in equal annual installments over a seven-year period commencing on December 31, 2017 and, thereafter, on each December 31 through December 31, 2023, subject to Mr. Madden’s continued employment on each such vesting date. Pursuant to the contract, on June 30, 2012, Mr. Madden exercised his right to receive an additional restricted stock award, and, on July 3, 2012, he was granted 1,893,342 restricted shares of the Company's common stock at the then market price of $21.13, which will vest in the same manner as the aforementioned grant.
Note M – Acquisitions
Dolce Vita
On August 13, 2014, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Dolce Vita Holdings, Inc., a Washington corporation (“Dolce Vita”). The total purchase price for the acquisition was approximately $61,488 which includes a cash payment at closing of $56,872 plus potential earn-out payments based on achievement of certain earnings targets for each of the twelve month periods ending on September 30, 2015 and 2016 provided that the aggregate minimum earn-out payment for such two year earn-out period shall be no less than $5,000. The fair value of the contingent payments was estimated using the present value of management's projections of the financial results of Dolce Vita during the earn-out period. At August 13, 2014, the Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration to be $4,616.
The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method required by GAAP. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Dolce Vita were recorded at their fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identified intangible assets, was recorded as goodwill. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, which are subject to change. The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated as follows:

The allocation of the purchase price is based on certain preliminary valuations and analysis that have not been completed as of the date of this filing. Any changes in the estimated fair values of the assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed upon the finalization of more detailed analysis, within the measurement period, will change the allocation of the purchase price. Any subsequent changes to the purchase price allocation that are material will be adjusted retroactively. Contingent consideration classified as a liability will be remeasured at fair value at each reporting date, until the contingency is resolved, with changes recognized in earnings. The goodwill related to this transaction is expected to be deductible for tax purposes over 15 years.
SM Mexico
In September 2014, the Company announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the stock of Trendy Imports S.A. de C.V., Comercial Diecisiette S.A. de C.V., and Maximus Designer Shoes S.A. de C.V. (together, “SM Mexico”). The acquisition is a cash transaction for approximately $15,000, subject to a working capital adjustment, plus the repayment of a short term loan and potential earn-out payment based on the future financial performance of SM Mexico in each of the twelve month periods ending December 31, 2015 through 2016. SM Mexico is a division of Grupo Dicanco, which has been the exclusive distributor of the Company's products in Mexico since 2005. The transaction is expected to close in January of 2015.
Brian Atwood
In March 2014, the Company, acting through its newly-formed subsidiary BA Brand Holdings LLC (“BA Brands”), purchased the intellectual property and related assets of Brian Atwood® from Brian Atwood IP Company LLC, for a purchase price of approximately $6,750. The Company owns 80% of BA Brands. The acquired intellectual property portfolio includes the Brian Atwood® designer brand and the B Brian Atwood® contemporary brand.

Atwood (“Atwood”), who will have full operational and creative control in the design, production and distribution of the designer brand. The Company will manage the B Brian Atwood® brand and collaborate with Atwood on the design, production, marketing and distribution of B Brian Atwood® brand footwear and handbags.

Note O – Derivative Instruments
The Company uses derivative instruments, specifically, forward foreign exchange contracts, to manage the risk associated with the volatility of future cash flows denominated in Mexican pesos. The foreign exchange contracts are used to mitigate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on forecasted purchases of inventory from Mexico and are designated as cash flow hedging instruments. As of September 30, 2014, the fair value of the Company's foreign currency derivatives, which is included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in accrued expenses, is $194. As of September 30, 2014, $142 of losses related to cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of taxes and are expected to be recognized in earnings

Note Q – Operating Segment Information
The Company operates the following business segments: Wholesale Footwear, Wholesale Accessories, Retail, First Cost and Licensing. The Wholesale Footwear segment, through sales to department stores, mid-tier retailers, mass-market merchants and specialty stores, derives revenue, both domestically and worldwide (via our International business), from sales of branded and private label women’s, men’s, girls’ and children’s footwear.

The First Cost segment represents activities of a subsidiary which earns commissions and design fees for serving as a buying agent of footwear products to mass-market merchandisers, mid-tier department stores and other retailers with respect to their purchase of footwear. The Company's Licensing segment generates revenue by licensing its Steve Madden® and Steven by Steve Madden® trademarks and other trademark rights for use in connection with the manufacture, marketing and sale of sunglasses, eyewear, outerwear, bedding, hosiery and women's fashion apparel, jewelry, watches and luggage.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new accounting guidance, Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, on revenue recognition. The new standard provides for a single five-step model to be applied to all revenue contracts with customers as well as requires additional financial statement disclosures that will enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows relating to customer contracts. Companies have an option to use either a retrospective approach or cumulative effect adjustment approach to implement the standard. There is no option for early adoption. For public entities, this ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Quarterly Report contains certain “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined in the federal securities laws. The events described in forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report may not occur. Generally, forward-looking statements relate to business plans or strategies, projected or anticipated benefits or other consequences of our plans or strategies, projected or anticipated benefits from acquisitions to be made by us, or projections involving anticipated revenues, earnings or other aspects of our operating results. The words “may”, “will”, “expect”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “project”, “plan”, “intend”, “estimate”, and “continue”, and their opposites and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and are subject to a number of uncertainties, risks and other influences, many of which are beyond our control, that may influence the accuracy of the statements and the projections upon which the statements are based. Factors that may affect our results include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Any one or more of these uncertainties, risks and other influences could materially affect our results of operations and whether forward-looking statements made by us ultimately prove to be accurate. Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether from new information, future events or otherwise.

($ in thousands, except retail sales data per square foot, earnings per share and per share data)
Steven Madden, Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) design, source, market and sell fashion-forward name brand and private label footwear for women, men and children and name brand and private label fashion handbags and accessories. We also license our trademarks for use in connection with the manufacture, marketing and sale of various products to our licensees. Our products are marketed through our retail stores and our e-commerce websites, as well as better department stores, major department stores, mid-tier department stores, specialty stores, luxury retailers, value priced retailers, national chains, mass market merchants and catalog retailers throughout the United States and Canada. In addition, we have special distribution arrangements for the marketing and sale of our products in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Mexico, Australia, South Africa, Central and South America and India. We offer a broad range of updated styles designed to establish or complement and capitalize on market trends. We have established a reputation for design creativity and our ability to offer quality products in popular styles at affordable prices, delivered in an efficient manner and time frame.

Net income attributable to Steven Madden, Ltd. decreased 10.8% to $39,248 in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $43,992 in the same period of last year. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2014 decreased to 35.0% compared to 36.5% in the third quarter of last year due primarily to planned reinvestment of foreign earnings in foreign locations. Diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.62 per share on 63,215 diluted weighted average shares outstanding compared to $0.66 per share on 66,860 diluted weighted average shares outstanding in the third quarter of last year.
Our inventory turnover (calculated on a trailing twelve month average) for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 increased to 10.6 times from 10.3 times in the comparable period in 2013. Our accounts receivable average collection was 64 days in the third quarter of 2014 and 2013.

On August 13, 2014, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Dolce Vita Holdings, Inc., a Washington corporation (“Dolce Vita”), from its founders and sole stockholders (the “Dolce Vita Sellers”). The acquisition of Dolce Vita was completed for consideration comprised of a cash payment at closing of $56,872 plus potential earn-out payments based on the performance of Dolce Vita in each of the twelve month periods ending on September 30, 2015 and 2016 equal to 50% of Dolce Vita’s EBITDA in each such year; provided that the aggregate minimum earn-out payments for the entire two-year earn-out period will be no less than $5,000.
19
In September 2014, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire Trendy Imports S.A. de C.V., Comercial Diecisiette S.A. de C.V., and Maximus Designer Shoes S.A. de C.V. (together, “SM Mexico”) for cash consideration of approximately $15,000, subject to a working capital adjustment, plus the repayment of a short-term loan and potential earn-out payments based on the future financial performance of SM Mexico in each of the twelve month periods ending December 31, 2015 and 2016.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
($ in thousands)
Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2013
Consolidated:
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2014 decreased 0.7% to $391,992 compared to $394,791 in the same period of last year. Gross margin decreased to 34.7% from 35.4% due primarily to increased promotional activity in the Retail segment. Operating expenses increased in the third quarter of this year to $81,867 from $76,543 in the third quarter of last year primarily due to the increase in outlet stores in our Retail segment and the impact of the Dolce Vita acquisition. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales were 20.9% for the third quarter of 2014 compared to 19.4% in the third quarter of 2013 due to deleverage on lower sales. Commission and licensing fee income for the third quarter of 2014 increased to $5,103 compared to $4,937 achieved in the third quarter of 2013. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2014 decreased to 35.0% compared to 36.5% in the third quarter of last year due primarily to planned reinvestment of foreign earnings in foreign locations. Net income attributable to Steven Madden, Ltd. for the third quarter of 2014 decreased to $39,248 compared to net income for the third quarter of 2013 of $43,992.
Wholesale Footwear Segment:
Net sales from the Wholesale Footwear segment accounted for $273,210, or 69.7%, and $272,653, or 69.1%, of our total net sales for the third quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Included in the third quarter of 2014 is net sales of $14,166 related to our Dolce Vita acquisition. Excluding net sales related to Dolce Vita, which was acquired during the quarter, net sales decreased 5.0% to $259,044 driven by declines in both branded and private label footwear.
Gross profit margin in the Wholesale Footwear segment was 30.3% for the third quarter of 2014 compared to 31.1% for the third quarter of 2013 reflecting increased markdown allowances and the impact of the Dolce Vita acquisition. Excluding the impact of Dolce Vita, gross profit margin was 30.6%. Operating expenses increased to $41,484 in the third quarter of 2014 from $38,681 in the same period of last year. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses increased to 15.2% in the third quarter of 2014 compared to 14.2% in the same period of 2013. Excluding the impact of Dolce Vita, operating expenses were flat at $38,631.
Wholesale Accessories Segment:
Net sales generated by the Wholesale Accessories segment accounted for $70,044, or 17.9%, and $73,258, or 18.6%, of total net sales for the Company in the third quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively. This 4.4% decrease in net sales in the third quarter of 2014 is attributable to declines in cold weather accessories and Steve Madden® and Big Buddha® handbags partially offset by growth in our private label and our Betsey Johnson® handbag businesses.
Gross profit margin in the Wholesale Accessories segment increased to 35.1% in the third quarter of this year from 34.9% in the same period in 2013, primarily due to a decrease in sales in off-price accounts which have lower margins. In the third quarter of 2014, operating expenses remained relatively flat at $11,587 compared to $11,948 in the same period of last year. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses were 16.5% in the third quarter of 2014 relatively flat compared to 16.3% in the same period of 2013. Income from operations for the Wholesale Accessories segment decreased 4.6% to $13,010 for the third quarter of 2014 compared to $13,643 for the same period of last year.
Retail Segment:
In the third quarter of 2014, net sales from the Retail segment accounted for $48,738, or 12.4%, of our total net sales compared to $48,880, or 12.4%, of our total net sales in the same period last year, which represents a $142, or 0.3%, decrease. The decrease in net sales reflects a decline in comparable store sales driven by a lack of fashion footwear trends offset by the addition of retail stores since the third quarter of 2013. We added sixteen new stores and closed five stores during the twelve months ended September 30, 2014 and acquired dolcevita.com as well as four stores in South Africa in connection with a joint venture we established. As a result, we had 133 retail stores as of September 30, 2014 compared to 117 stores as of September 30, 2013. The 133 stores currently in operation include 99 Steve Madden® stores, 28 Steve Madden® outlet stores, one Steven® store, one Superga® store and four e-commerce websites. Comparable store sales (sales of those stores, including the e-commerce websites, that were open throughout the third quarter of 2014 and 2013) decreased 7.4% on a constant currency basis when compared to the prior year period. The Company excludes new locations from the comparable store base for the first twelve months of operations.
23
Stores that are closed for renovations are removed from the comparable store base. In the third quarter of 2014, gross margin decreased to 58.9% from 60.2% in the same period of 2013, primarily due to increased promotional activity. In the third quarter of 2014, operating expenses increased to $28,796, or 59.1%, of net sales compared to $25,914, or 53.0%, of net sales in the third quarter of last year. The increase reflects the net year-over-year increase in new store openings, as well as the deleverage on lower sales. Loss from operations for the Retail segment was $88 in the third quarter of this year compared to income of $3,529 in the same period of last year.
First Cost Segment:
The First Cost segment which includes net commission income and fees increased to $3,101 for the third quarter of 2014 compared to $2,974 for the comparable period of 2013.
Licensing Segment:
Net licensing income was $2,002 relatively consistent with $1,963 for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
Consolidated:
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased 2.2% to $992,331 compared to $971,341 in the same period of last year. Gross margin declined to 35.4% from 36.3% as a result of increased markdown allowances in the Wholesale Footwear segment as well as increased promotional activities in the Retail segment. Operating expenses increased in the first nine months of 2014 to $227,328 from $215,734 in the first nine months of 2013. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to an increase in the number of outlet stores as well as the impact of the Dolce Vita acquisition. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses were 22.9% for the first nine months of 2014 compared to 22.2% for the first nine months of 2013. Commission and licensing fee income for the first nine months of 2014 decreased to $11,461 compared to $13,002 achieved in the first nine months of 2013. Net income attributable to Steven Madden, Ltd. for the first nine months of 2014 decreased to $90,887 compared to net income for the first nine months of 2013 of $96,348.
Wholesale Footwear Segment:
Net sales from the Wholesale Footwear segment accounted for $685,314, or 69.1%, and $661,032, or 68.1%, of our total net sales for the first nine months of 2014 and 2013, respectively, which represents a $24,282, or 3.7%, increase. Included in the current year period is net sales of $14,166 related to our Dolce Vita acquisition. Excluding net sales related to Dolce Vita, net sales increased 1.5% to $671,148 in the current year period. The increase in net sales was driven by low single digit increase in our branded business offset by a slight decrease in our private label business.
Gross profit margin in the Wholesale Footwear segment was 30.6% for the first nine months of 2014 and 30.8% for the first nine months of 2013, driven by increased markdown allowances partially offset by higher growth in our branded business. Excluding the impact of Dolce Vita, gross profit margin was 30.7%. Operating expenses increased to $111,512 in the first nine months of 2014 from $107,906 in the same period of last year. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses were flat at 16.3% in the first nine months of 2014 and 2013. Excluding the impact of Dolce Vita, operating expenses were $108,658 in the current year period. Income from operations for the Wholesale Footwear segment increased to $97,973 for the first nine months of 2014 compared to $95,614 for the same period of last year.
Wholesale Accessories Segment:
Net sales generated by the Wholesale Accessories segment accounted for $172,759, or 17.4%, and $170,163, or 17.5%, of total net sales for the Company in the first nine months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. This 1.5% increase in net sales in the first nine months of 2014 was attributed to double digit growth in Betsey Johnson® and private label handbags partially offset by declines in Steve Madden and Big Buddha® handbags as well as cold weather accessories.
Gross profit margin in the Wholesale Accessories segment decreased to 36.1% in the first nine months of 2014 from 36.9% in the same period last year, primarily due to an increase in sales to private label customers, which sales generate lower margins. In the first nine months of 2014, operating expenses were $33,119 compared to the prior year amount of $32,298. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses were 19.2% in the first nine months of 2014 compared to 19.0% in the first nine months of 2013.
24
Income from operations for the Wholesale Accessories segment slightly decreased 4.1% to $29,284 for the first nine months of 2014 compared to $30,529 for the same period of last year.
Retail Segment:
In the first nine months of 2014, net sales from the Retail segment accounted for $134,258, or 13.5%, of our total net sales compared to $140,146, or 14.4%, of our total net sales in the same period last year, which represents a $5,888, or 4.2%, decrease. This decrease in net sales reflects a decline in comparable store sales driven by a lack of fashion footwear trends partially offset by the addition of retail stores since the third quarter of 2013. We added sixteen new stores and closed five stores during the twelve months ended September 30, 2014 and acquired dolcevita.com as well as four stores in South Africa in connection with a joint venture we established. As a result, we had 133 retail stores as of September 30, 2014 compared to 117 stores as of September 30, 2013. The 133 stores currently in operation include 99 Steve Madden® stores, 28 Steve Madden® outlet stores, one Steven® store, one Superga® store and four e-commerce websites. Comparable store sales (sales of those stores, including the e-commerce websites, that were open throughout the first nine months of 2014 and 2013) decreased 11.0% in the first nine months of this year compared to the prior year period. The Company excludes new locations from the comparable store base for the first twelve months of operations. Stores that are closed for renovations are removed from the comparable store base. In the first nine months of 2014, gross margin decreased to 59.3% from 61.7% in the same period of 2013, primarily due to increased promotional activity. In the first nine months of 2014, operating expenses increased to $82,697, or 61.6%, of net sales compared to $75,530, or 53.9%, of net sales, in the first nine months of 2013. Loss from operations for the Retail segment was $3,080 in the first nine months of this year compared to income from operations of $11,002 in the same period of last year.
First Cost Segment:
The First Cost segment net commission income and fees decreased to $6,076 for the first nine months of 2014 compared to $7,144 for the comparable period of 2013. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in sales with certain private label customers.
Licensing Segment:
Net licensing income was relatively consistent at $5,385 and $5,858 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
($ in thousands)
The Company has a collection agency agreement with Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. (“Rosenthal”) that became effective on September 15, 2009. The agreement can be terminated by the Company or Rosenthal at any time upon 60 days' prior written notice. Under the agreement, the Company can request advances from Rosenthal of up to 85% of the aggregate receivables submitted to Rosenthal. The agreement provides the Company with a $30,000 credit facility with a $15,000 sub-limit for letters of credit at an interest rate based, at the Company’s election, upon a calculation that utilizes either the prime rate or LIBOR. The Company also pays a fee based on a percentage of the gross invoice amount submitted to Rosenthal. With respect to receivables related to our First Cost segment and private label business, the fee is 0.14% of the gross invoice amount. For all other receivables, the fee is 0.25% of the gross invoice amount. Rosenthal assumes the credit risk on a substantial portion of the receivables that the Company submits to it. To the extent of any loans made to the Company, Rosenthal maintains a lien on all of the Company’s receivables to secure the Company’s obligations. As of September 30, 2014, we had no borrowing against the credit facility.
As of September 30, 2014, we had working capital of $376,518, cash and cash equivalents of $169,911, investments in marketable securities of $19,562 and no long-term debt.
We believe that based upon our current financial position and available cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, the Company will meet all of its financial commitments and operating needs for at least the next twelve months.

As previously reported, on January 3, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment, dated as of December 30, 2011, to the employment agreement of the Company's Creative and Design Chief, Steven Madden. The amended employment agreement provides Mr. Madden with a base annual salary of approximately $6,125 in 2014, approximately $8,250 in 2015 and approximately $7,026 annually for the period between January 1, 2016 through the expiration of the employment agreement on December 31, 2023. As described in Note L to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in 2012, Mr. Madden also received two restricted stock awards pursuant to his amended employment agreement. The employment agreement further entitles Mr. Madden to an annual life insurance premium payment, an annual stock option grant and the potential for an additional one-time stock option grant based on achievement of certain financial performance criteria, as well as the opportunity for discretionary cash bonuses. On May 28, 2014, Mr. Madden waived his annual stock option grant for 2014, which stock option would have been issued to him on or about the date of the Company's 2014 annual meeting of stockholders. The terms of an outstanding loan in the original principal amount of $3,000 made by the Company to Mr. Madden were amended in connection with the amendment of the employment agreement. The amended terms included the elimination of further interest accumulation on the loan. The
26
outstanding principal amount of the loan, together with all previously accrued interest, has been discounted to reflect imputed interest, which will be amortized over the remaining life of the loan.
The Company has employment agreements with certain executive officers, which provide for the payment of compensation aggregating approximately $747 in the remainder of 2014, $1,769 in 2015 and $1,162 in 2016. In addition, some of these employment agreements provide for discretionary bonuses and some provide for incentive compensation based on various performance criteria as well as other benefits including stock options.
In connection with our acquisition of Steve Madden Canada Inc., Steve Madden Retail Canada Inc., Pasa Agency Inc. and Gelati Imports Inc. (collectively, "SM Canada") on February 21, 2012, we are subject to potential earn-out payments to the seller of SM Canada based on the annual performance of SM Canada for each of the twelve-month periods ending on March 31, 2013 through 2017, inclusive. We made the second earn-out payment of $3,315, based on the performance of SM Canada during the twelve month period ended on March 31, 2014, to the seller of SM Canada during the second quarter of 2014. In connection with our acquisition of Cejon Inc, Cejon Accessories, Inc. and New East Designs, LLC (collectively "Cejon") on May 25, 2011, we are subject to potential earn-out payments to the seller of Cejon based on the annual performance of Cejon for each of the twelve-month periods ending on June 30, 2012 through 2016, inclusive. The third earn-out payment of $5,160 was made to the seller of Cejon in the third quarter of 2014. Our most recently completed acquisition, Dolce Vita, includes potential earn-out payments based on the performance of Dolce Vita in each of the twelve month periods ending on September 30, 2015 and 2016 equal to 50% of Dolce Vita’s EBITDA in each such year; provided that the aggregate minimum earn-out payments for the entire two-year earn-out period shall be no less than $5,000.
Virtually all of our products are manufactured at overseas locations, the majority of which are located in China, with a small and growing percentage located in Mexico in addition to smaller amounts produced in Brazil, Italy and India. We have not entered into any long-term manufacturing or supply contracts with any of these foreign manufacturers. We believe that a sufficient number of alternative sources exist outside of the United States for the manufacture of our products. We currently make approximately 95% of our purchases in U.S. dollars.
INFLATION
We do not believe that inflation had a significant effect on our sales or profitability in the three months ended September 30, 2014. Historically, we have minimized the impact of product cost increases by increasing prices, changing suppliers and by improving operating efficiencies. However, no assurance can be given that we will be able to offset any such inflationary cost increases in the future.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND THE USE OF ESTIMATES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates by their nature are based on judgments and available information. Our estimates are made based upon historical factors, current circumstances and the experience and judgment of management. Assumptions and estimates are evaluated on an ongoing basis and we may employ outside experts to assist in evaluations. Therefore, actual results could materially differ from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Management believes the following critical accounting estimates are more significantly affected by judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements: allowance for bad debts, returns, and customer chargebacks; inventory valuation; valuation of intangible assets, litigation reserves, and contingent payment liabilities.
Allowances for bad debts, returns and customer chargebacks. We provide reserves against our trade accounts receivables for future customer chargebacks, co-op advertising allowances, discounts, returns and other miscellaneous deductions that relate to the current period. The reserve against our non-factored trade receivables also includes estimated losses that may result from customers' inability to pay. The amount of the reserve for bad debts, returns, discounts and compliance chargebacks are determined by analyzing aged receivables, current economic conditions, the prevailing retail environment and historical dilution levels for customers. We evaluate anticipated customer markdowns and advertising chargebacks by reviewing several performance indicators
27
for our major customers. These performance indicators (which include inventory levels at the retail floors, sell through rates and gross margin levels) are analyzed by management to estimate the amount of the anticipated customer allowance. Failure to correctly estimate the amount of the reserve could materially impact our results of operations and financial position.
Inventory valuation. Inventories are stated at lower-of-cost or market, on a first-in, first-out basis. We review inventory on a regular basis for excess and slow moving inventory. The review is based on an analysis of inventory on hand, prior sales, and expected net realizable value through future sales. The analysis includes a review of inventory quantities on hand at period-end in relation to year-to-date sales and projections for sales in the foreseeable future as well as subsequent sales. We consider quantities on hand in excess of estimated future sales to be at risk for market impairment. The net realizable value, or market value, is determined based on the estimate of sales prices of such inventory through off-price or discount store channels. The likelihood of any material inventory write-down is dependent primarily on the expectation of future consumer demand for our product. A misinterpretation or misunderstanding of future consumer demand for our product, the economic conditions, or other failure to estimate correctly, in addition to abnormal weather patterns, could result in inventory valuation changes, compared to the valuation determined to be appropriate as of the balance sheet date.
Valuation of intangible assets. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Intangible - Goodwill and Other”, requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives no longer be amortized, but rather be tested for impairment at least annually. This pronouncement also requires that intangible assets with finite lives be amortized over their respective lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC Topic 360”). In accordance with ASC Topic 360, long-lived assets, such as property, equipment, leasehold improvements and intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Litigation reserves. Estimated amounts for litigation claims that are probable and can be reasonably estimated are recorded as liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The likelihood of a material change in these estimated reserves would be dependent on new claims as they may arise and the favorable or unfavorable events of a particular litigation. As additional information becomes available, management will assess the potential liability related to the pending litigation and revise its estimates. Such revisions in management's estimates of a contingent liability could materially impact our results of operation and financial position.
Contingent payment liabilities. Since February 2010, the Company has completed five acquisitions, three of which continue to require the Company to potentially make contingent payments to the sellers of the acquired businesses based on the future financial performance of the acquired businesses over a period of two to three years, as applicable. The fair value of the contingent payments was estimated using the present value of management's projections of the financial results of the acquired business. Failure to correctly project the financial results of the acquired businesses could materially impact our results of operations and financial position.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
($ in thousands)
We do not engage in the trading of market risk sensitive instruments in the normal course of business. Our financing arrangements are subject to variable interest rates, primarily based on the prime rate and LIBOR. The terms of our collection agency agreements with Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. can be found in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of Item 2 and in Note C to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report.
As of September 30, 2014, we held marketable securities valued at $19,562, which consist primarily of certificates of deposit and corporate bonds. The values of these securities may fluctuate as a result of changes in equity values, market interest rates and credit risk. We have the ability to hold these investments until maturity. In addition, any decline in interest rates would be expected to reduce our interest income.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange
28
Act) were, as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report, effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated our internal controls over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the quarter covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there has been no such change during the quarter covered by this Quarterly Report.

The Company has been named as a defendant in certain other lawsuits in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, after consulting with legal counsel, the liabilities, if any, resulting from these matters should not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. It is the policy of management to disclose the amount or range of reasonably possible losses in excess of recorded amounts.
