NOTES:

 

1.

Financial Statements

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2017, may not necessarily be indicative of the results for the full year.

 

2.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-07 “Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Post Retirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2017-07”). This new standard requires that employers disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net periodic pension cost in the income statement. The service cost component should be included in the same line item as other compensation costs rendered by employees, while the other cost components should be presented outside of earnings from operations. The Company adopted ASU 2017-07 effective January 1, 2017 and retrospectively applied it to all periods presented. Accordingly, the service cost component of net periodic pension cost was included within selling and administrative expenses while the other cost components were classified in other expense, net, in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Unaudited). See Note 8.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”). This new standard simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as specifies the classification of certain cash flows associated with share-based payment transactions within the statements of cash flows. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 effective January 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard resulted in the following:

 

·

The prospective recognition of excess tax benefits or deficiencies within the provision for income taxes in the income statement. Prior to the adoption of the new standard, these amounts would have been recorded within capital in excess of par value on the balance sheet. This change may create volatility in the Company’s future effective tax rate.

 

·

Accounting rules require the use of the treasury stock method when calculating potential common shares used to determine diluted earnings per share. The new standard requires that the calculation of diluted earnings per share under the treasury stock method exclude the amount of excess tax benefits that would have been recognized within capital in excess of par value on the balance sheet. This change was adopted prospectively and had an immaterial impact on the Company’s weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the quarter and year-to-date periods.

 

·

The new standard requires that excess tax benefits from share-based payment awards be reported as operating activities in the cash flow statement. Previously, these cash flows were included in financing activities. This change was adopted prospectively, and had an immaterial impact on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited) for the year-to-date period.

 

·

The new standard requires that cash flows related to employee taxes paid for withheld shares be presented as a financing activity in the cash flow statement. Previously, accounting rules did not specify where such cash flows should be reported. This change was retrospectively applied to all periods presented, and had an immaterial impact on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited) for the year-to-date period.

 

The Company elected not to change its policy on accounting for forfeitures, and will continue to estimate forfeitures expected to occur to determine the amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized in each period. Finally, the Company will continue to allow its employees to withhold up to the minimum statutory withholding requirements, as allowed under the new standard.

 

 

ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry specific guidance. Additional ASUs have also been issued as part of the overall new revenue guidance. The new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The standard allows the Company to transition to the new model using either a full or modified retrospective approach. This guidance will be effective for the Company’s interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2018.

 

The Company plans to complete an assessment of its revenue streams during the fourth quarter of 2017. Based on its assessment to date, the Company does not expect that the adoption of this new standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company is continuing its assessment, which may identify other impacts. The Company currently plans to adopt the new standard in the first quarter of 2018. The Company is currently planning to adopt this standard using the modified retrospective approach.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases.” This new standard requires lessees to recognize the rights and obligations created by finance and operating leases with terms exceeding 12 months as assets and liabilities on their balance sheets. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods therein. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

3.

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year amounts in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Unaudited) were reclassified to conform to current year presentation. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company reclassified $424,000 and $1,272,000, respectively, of expense from selling and administrative expenses to other expense, net. These amounts represent the non-service cost components of net periodic pension cost for the periods then ended, and were reclassified in connection with the adoption of ASU 2017-07. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net earnings or equity.

 

4.

Segment Information

 

The Company has two reportable segments: North American wholesale operations (“wholesale”) and North American retail operations (“retail”). The chief operating decision maker, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of the Company’s segments based on earnings from operations. Therefore, interest income or expense, other income or expense, and income taxes are not allocated to the segments. The “other” category in the tables below includes the Company’s wholesale and retail operations in Australia, South Africa, Asia Pacific and Europe, which do not meet the criteria for separate reportable segment classification. Summarized segment data for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, was as follows:

The Company designs and markets 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,” “BOGS,” “Rafters,” and “Umi.” Inventory is purchased from third-party overseas manufacturers. The majority of foreign-sourced purchases are denominated in U.S. dollars.

 

The Company has two reportable segments, North American wholesale operations (“wholesale”) and North American retail operations (“retail”). In the wholesale segment, the Company’s products are sold to leading footwear, department, and specialty stores, primarily in the United States and Canada. The Company also has licensing agreements with third parties who sell its branded apparel, accessories and specialty footwear in the United States, as well as its footwear in Mexico and certain markets overseas. Licensing revenues are included in the Company’s wholesale segment. The Company’s retail segment consisted of 10 brick and mortar stores and internet businesses in the United States as of September 30, 2017. Sales in retail outlets are made directly to consumers by Company employees.

 

The Company’s “other” operations include the Company’s wholesale and retail businesses in Australia, South Africa, Asia Pacific (collectively, “Florsheim Australia”) and Europe (“Florsheim Europe”). The majority of the Company’s operations are in the United States, and its results are primarily affected by the economic conditions and the retail environment in the United States.

 

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

 

Third Quarter Highlights

 

Consolidated net sales for the third quarter of 2017 were $76.9 million, down 3% as compared to last year’s third quarter net sales of $79.1 million. Earnings from operations were $7.8 million in both 2017 and 2016. Consolidated net earnings attributable to Weyco Group, Inc. increased 7% to $4.9 million in 2017, up from $4.6 million last year. Diluted earnings per share were $0.48 this quarter and $0.44 per share in the third quarter of 2016.

 

The majority of the decrease in consolidated net sales came from the Company’s wholesale segment. Wholesale net sales declined $1.4 million, due mainly to lower sales of the Stacy Adams, Nunn Bush, and BOGS brands, partially offset by higher sales of the Florsheim brand. Net sales of the Company’s retail segment and its other operations were also down.

 

Consolidated earnings from operations were relatively flat for the quarter. Earnings from operations in the Company’s wholesale segment were up, due to higher gross margins and lower wholesale selling and administrative expenses, but this increase was offset by lower earnings from operations in the Company’s retail segment and its other operations.

 

Other expense was down due to lower pension expense in 2017.

 

 

Year-to-Date Highlights

 

Consolidated net sales for the first nine months of 2017 were $203.5 million, down 5% from last year’s year-to-date net sales of $214.8 million. Earnings from operations were $13.2 million in 2017, a decrease of 6% as compared to $14.0 million in 2016. Consolidated net earnings attributable to Weyco Group, Inc. were $8.4 million this year, up 1% as compared to $8.3 million last year. Diluted earnings per share to date in 2017 were $0.81, versus $0.78 per share in the same period of 2016.

 

The majority of the decrease in consolidated net sales came from the Company’s wholesale segment. Wholesale net sales were down $10.0 million, due primarily to lower sales of the Stacy Adams, Nunn Bush, and BOGS brands, partially offset by higher sales of the Florsheim brand. Net sales in the Company’s retail segment and its other operations were also down.

 

Consolidated earnings from operations decreased $838,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period one year ago. The decrease occurred mainly in the Company’s retail segment, due to lower sales and higher retail selling and administrative expenses. Earnings from operations in the Company’s wholesale segment were flat, as lower sales were offset by higher gross margins and lower wholesale selling and administrative expenses this year. Earnings from operations in the Company’s other businesses were also down.

 

Other expense was down due to lower pension expense in 2017.

 

Financial Position Highlights

 

At September 30, 2017, cash and marketable securities totaled $36.3 million and outstanding debt totaled $4.8 million. At December 31, 2016, cash and marketable securities totaled $39.4 million and outstanding debt totaled $4.3 million. During the first nine months of 2017, the Company generated $16.4 million of cash from operations. The Company paid dividends of $9.1 million, spent $11.6 million on purchases of Company stock, and purchased a net of $4.0 million in marketable securities. The Company also had $1.4 million of capital expenditures.

Total North American Wholesale Segment		$	60,728			$	62,170				-2%			$	155,869			$	165,876				-6%

 

Stacy Adams and Nunn Bush sales for the quarter and year-to-date periods were down mainly with department stores. The increases in Florsheim sales were primarily due to higher sales to department stores and national shoe chains. BOGS sales were down as a result of lower sales with outdoor retailers.

 

Licensing revenues consist of royalties earned on the sales of branded apparel, accessories and specialty footwear in the United States and on branded footwear in Mexico and certain overseas markets.

 

Earnings from Operations

 

Wholesale gross earnings were 33.9% of net sales in the third quarter of 2017, compared to 32.2% of net sales in last year’s third quarter. For the first nine months of the year, wholesale gross earnings rose to 32.1% of net sales in 2017, from 31.2% of net sales in 2016. Gross margins improved as a result of a reduction in sales of closeout inventory, which is sold at lower margins.

 

North American wholesale segment selling and administrative expenses include, and are primarily related to, distribution costs, salaries and commissions, advertising costs, employee benefit costs and depreciation. Wholesale selling and administrative expenses were $13.2 million, or 22% of net sales in the third quarter of 2017, and $13.3 million, or 21% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, wholesale selling and administrative expenses were $38.2 million, or 25% of net sales, in 2017, as compared to $39.8 million, or 24% of net sales, in 2016.

 

Earnings from operations in the North American wholesale segment were $7.4 million in the third quarter of 2017, up 11% as compared to $6.7 million in the third quarter of 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, wholesale earnings from operations remained flat at $11.9 million in both periods. Despite the decrease in sales, wholesale earnings from operations were up for the quarter, and flat for the first nine months of the year, due to higher gross margins and lower wholesale selling and administrative expenses.

 

The Company’s cost of sales does not include distribution costs (e.g., receiving, inspection or warehousing costs). Distribution costs were $2.6 million for the third quarter of 2017 versus $2.8 million for the same period of 2016. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, distribution costs were $7.9 million and $8.8 million, respectively. This year, distribution costs were down due to lower employee and warehousing costs. The Company’s consolidated wholesale shipping and handling expenses were $353,000 and $408,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, consolidated wholesale shipping and handling expenses were $959,000 and $1.1 million in 2016. These costs were included in selling and administrative expenses. The Company’s gross earnings may not be comparable to other companies, as some companies may include distribution costs and shipping and handling expenses in cost of sales.

 

 

North American Retail Segment

 

Net Sales

 

Net sales in the Company’s North American retail segment declined $411,000 and $529,000, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods last year. Same store sales, which include sales of both the U.S. internet business and brick and mortar same stores, were down 10% and 6% for the quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively. Same store sales were down due to decreased sales at both brick and mortar locations and on the Company’s websites. The majority of the Company’s brick and mortar locations are in Florida and Texas, and sales for the quarter and year were impacted by the recent hurricanes.

 

Earnings from Operations

 

Gross earnings as a percent of net sales were 63.6% in the third quarter of 2017, compared to 65.5% in the third quarter of 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, retail gross earnings as a percent of net sales were 64.4% in 2017 and 65.1% in 2016.

 

Retail earnings from operations declined $296,000 for the quarter, compared to the third quarter of 2016, due mainly to lower sales. For the year-to-date period, retail earnings from operations were down $543,000 in 2017, compared to the first nine months of 2016, due to lower sales and higher retail selling and administrative expenses. Selling and administrative expenses for the retail segment include, and are primarily related to, rent and occupancy costs, employee costs, advertising expense and freight. Retail selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales were 63% and 59% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales were 63% in 2017 and 60% in 2016.

 

Other

 

The Company’s other net sales were $11.9 million in the third quarter of 2017, down 3% as compared to $12.2 million in 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, other net sales were $33.6 million, down 2% from $34.5 million in the same period last year. The decreases in both periods were due to lower sales at both Florsheim Australia and Florsheim Europe. Florsheim Australia’s net sales, which accounts for the majority of other net sales, were down 2% for both the quarter and first nine months of 2017, as compared to the same periods of 2016. In local currency, Florsheim Australia’s net sales were down 6% for the quarter and 5% for the year-to-date period, compared to the same periods last year, with sales down in both its retail and wholesale businesses.

 

Collectively, the earnings from operations of the Company’s other businesses were $369,000 in the third quarter of 2017 and $731,000 in the same period last year. For the nine months ended September 30, earnings from operations of the Company’s other businesses were $1.0 million in 2017 and $1.3 million in 2016. The decreases for the quarter and year-to-date periods were primarily due to lower operating earnings in Florsheim Australia’s retail businesses, mainly due to the decrease in retail sales.

 

Other income and expense

 

Interest income was $193,000 and $190,000 in the third quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, interest income was $572,000 in 2017 and $584,000 in 2016. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, decreased $61,000 and $221,000, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016, due to lower average debt balances this year compared to last year.

 

The Company adopted ASU 2017-07 in the first quarter of 2017 and retrospectively applied it to all periods presented. This required the Company to reclassify the non-service cost components of pension expense from selling and administrative expenses to other expense, net, in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Unaudited). The decrease in other expense for the quarter and first nine months of 2017 was mainly due to decreases of $316,000 and $949,000, respectively, in the non-service cost components of pension expense. Pension expense decreased in 2017 as a result of freezing benefits under the pension plan, effective December 31, 2016.

 

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are its cash, short-term marketable securities and its revolving line of credit. During the first nine months of 2017, the Company generated $16.4 million of cash from operating activities, compared to $27.8 million in the same period of 2016. The decrease between years was primarily due to changes in operating assets and liabilities, principally inventory.

 

The Company paid cash dividends of $9.1 million and $8.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

The Company continues to repurchase its common stock under its share repurchase program when the Company believes market conditions are favorable. During the first nine months of 2017, the Company repurchased 420,711 shares at a total cost of $11.6 million. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had approximately 144,000 shares available under its previously announced stock repurchase program. On October 31, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 1.0 million shares of its common stock under its repurchase program, bringing the total available to purchase to approximately 1.1 million shares. See Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” below for more information.

 

Capital expenditures totaled $1.4 million in the first nine months of 2017. Management estimates that annual capital expenditures for 2016 will be between $1.5 million and $2.0 million.

 

At September 30, 2017, the Company had a $60 million unsecured revolving line of credit with a bank expiring November 3, 2017. The line of credit bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.75%. The Company borrowed a net of $0.5 million on the line of credit during the first nine months of 2017. At September 30, 2017, outstanding borrowings were $4.8 million at an interest rate of 2.0%. The highest balance on the line of credit during the quarter was $4.8 million. Subsequent to September 30, 2017, the line of credit agreement was renewed on the same terms for another one-year period, expiring November 4, 2018.

 

At September 30, 2017, approximately $1.6 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

 

The Company will continue to evaluate the best uses for its available liquidity, including, among other uses, capital expenditures, continued stock repurchases and additional acquisitions.

 

The Company believes that available cash and marketable securities, cash provided by operations, and available borrowing facilities will provide adequate support for the cash needs of the business for at least one year, although there can be no assurances.
