Edward Rosenfeld, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased to have delivered earnings results at the high end of our guidance range for the fourth quarter and full year 2024. For the year, revenue grew 15% and Adjusted diluted EPS increased 9% compared to 2023. Our strong performance in 2024 was driven by our team’s disciplined execution of our key strategic initiatives, with robust gains in international markets, non-footwear categories and direct-to-consumer channels, as well as a return to revenue growth in our U.S. wholesale footwear business.

 

“Looking ahead, we are cautious on the near-term outlook, as we face meaningful headwinds in 2025, most notably the impact of new tariffs on goods imported into the United States. That said, we have a proven ability to navigate difficult market conditions with our agile business model, and we are set to add a powerful new growth engine to the company with the pending acquisition of Kurt Geiger, which we expect to close in the second quarter of 2025. The Kurt Geiger London brand has exhibited exceptional growth over the last several years driven by its unique brand image, distinctive design aesthetic and compelling value proposition. Its differentiated and elevated positioning – and its alignment with our strategic initiatives of expanding in international markets, accessories categories and direct-to-consumer channels – make it a highly attractive and complementary addition to our portfolio.”

 

 

Fourth Quarter 2024 Channel Results

 

Revenue for the wholesale business in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $402.9 million, a 13.6% increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. Wholesale footwear revenue increased 1.0%, and wholesale accessories/apparel revenue increased 35.4%. Gross profit as a percentage of wholesale revenue was 30.5%, compared to 31.7% in the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily driven by a greater mix of private label business.

 

Direct-to-consumer revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $176.0 million, an 8.4% increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, driven by increases in both the brick-and-mortar and e-commerce businesses. Gross profit as a percentage of direct-to-consumer revenue was 62.0%, compared to 62.7% in the fourth quarter of 2023, driven by an increase in promotional activity.

 

The Company ended the year with 291 Company-operated brick-and-mortar retail stores and five e-commerce websites, as well as 42 Company-operated concessions in international markets.

 

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

 

As of December 31, 2024, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $203.4 million. Inventory totaled $257.6 million as of the same date, compared to $229.0 million at the end of 2023.

 

During the fourth quarter and full year of 2024, the Company spent approximately $2.6 million and $98.4 million, respectively, on repurchases of its common stock, which includes shares acquired through the net settlement of employees’ stock awards.

 

Quarterly Cash Dividend

 

The Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.21 per share. The dividend is payable on March 21, 2025 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 10, 2025.

 

2025 Outlook

 

For 2025, the Company expects revenue will increase 17% to 19% compared to 2024. The Company expects diluted EPS will be in the range of $2.30 to $2.40. This outlook assumes the Kurt Geiger acquisition closes on May 1, 2025.
