Segment
Information

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 its segments based on earnings from operations and accordingly,
interest income, interest expense and other income or expense are not allocated
to the segments. The “other” category in the table 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 months ended March 31,
2010 and 2009 was:

“Florsheim,” “Nunn Bush” and “Stacy Adams.” 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 shoe specialty stores, department stores and clothing
retailers, 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 36 Company-owned retail stores in the United States
and an Internet business as of March 31, 2010. Sales in retail
outlets are made directly to consumers by Company employees. The
Company’s “other” operations include the Company’s wholesale and retail
operations in Australia, South Africa, Asia Pacific and 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.
On
January 23, 2009, the Company acquired a majority interest in a new subsidiary,
Florsheim Australia. Accordingly, the Company’s first quarter 2010
results included Florsheim Australia’s operations for the entire first quarter,
while 2009 only included the consolidated financial statements of Florsheim
Australia from January 23 through March 31, 2009.

CONSOLIDATED
OVERVIEW
Consolidated
net sales for the first quarter of 2010 reached $61.0 million, an increase of 4%
above last year’s first quarter net sales of $58.9
million. Consolidated operating earnings for the first quarter of
2010 were $5.4 million, up from $3.3 million last year. The Company’s
net earnings for the first three months of 2010 were $3.9 million, up from $2.5
million in the first quarter of 2009. Diluted earnings per share this
quarter rose to $.34 per share compared with $.22 per share in last year’s first
quarter.
Wholesale
segment net sales were down slightly in the first quarter this year compared
with last year and retail segment net sales were flat with last
year. Net sales of the Company’s other operations, which include the
wholesale and retail sales of Florsheim Australia and Florsheim Europe were up
$3.8 million this year, as this year’s first quarter net sales included three
full months of Florsheim Australia's net sales compared to last year’s first
quarter which included only January 23 through March 31, 2009. The
2010 net sales of Florsheim Australia and Florsheim Europe also benefited from
foreign exchange rate changes.
The
Company achieved higher gross earnings from operations this quarter compared
with last year’s first quarter primarily as a result of higher gross margins in
its wholesale segment. The increase in operating earnings also
reflects higher earnings at Florsheim Australia which primarily resulted from
the additional 23 days of operations this year. Also, Florsheim
Australia’s first quarter 2009 earnings from operations were reduced by
approximately $370,000 of acquisition costs.

The
growth at Stacy Adams this year was achieved across the majority of its trade
channels. There were increases in the basic contemporary category, as
well as with footwear that targets the younger denim oriented
consumer. Net sales for Nunn Bush were down this year primarily due
to a decline in shipments of product to off-price
retailers. Florsheim net sales were down slightly in the first
quarter of 2010 compared with the same quarter last year.
The
Company’s licensing revenues consist of royalties earned on the sales of Stacy
Adams apparel and accessories in the United States, Florsheim specialty footwear
and accessories in the United States, and Florsheim footwear in Mexico and
certain overseas markets. For the first quarter of 2010, Stacy Adams
licensing revenues were down mainly because the retail environment continues to
be challenging for the independent retailers in the United States who distribute
the majority of this product. Licensing revenues from the Company’s
Florsheim licensee in Mexico also decreased this year due to the troubled
economic and retail environment in that country.
Earnings from
Operations
North
American wholesale segment earnings from operations in the quarter ended March
31, 2010 were up $1.1 million over last year’s first quarter. This
increase was achieved through higher gross margins, which were offset slightly
by the decrease in net sales for the quarter.
Wholesale
gross earnings were 30.8% of net sales in the first quarter of 2010 compared
with 26.6% in 2009. The increase was due to higher selling prices on
select products, an overall reduction this year in sales to off-price retailers,
and some cost reductions achieved within the Company’s supply
chain.
The
Company’s cost of sales does not include distribution costs (e.g., receiving,
inspection or warehousing costs). Distribution costs were approximately $2.0
million for each of the three- month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
These costs were included in selling and administrative expenses. Therefore, the
Company’s gross earnings may not be comparable to other companies, as some
companies may include distribution costs in cost of sales.
10
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 this quarter were approximately level with the same
period in 2009. As a percent of net sales, wholesale selling and
administrative expenses were 22.2% this quarter compared with 21.1% in the same
quarter last year. The percentage increase reflects the fixed nature
of most of the wholesale selling and administrative expenses.
North
American Retail Segment
Net
Sales
Net sales
in the Company’s North American retail segment were $5.3 million in the first
quarter of 2010, as compared with $5.2 million last year. There were
the same number of retail stores this quarter as compared with
2009.
Earnings from
Operations
First
quarter 2010 earnings from operations in the North American retail segment were
flat as both gross margins and selling and administrative expenses were flat
between periods.
North
American retail segment gross earnings were 65.0% of net retail sales compared
with 64.8% in the first quarter of 2009. As a percent of sales,
retail selling and administrative expenses were 68.6% in 2010 and 70.0% in 2009,
which reflects the fixed nature of many of these retail
expenses. Selling and administrative expenses at the retail segment
include, and are primarily related to, rent and occupancy costs, employee costs
and depreciation.
Other
The
increases this year in the Company’s other net sales and earnings from
operations were mainly due to the inclusion of the full quarter of Florsheim
Australia’s results this year, as compared with the period of January 23 through
March 31, 2009. In addition, the results of Florsheim Australia and
Florsheim Europe benefited this year from foreign exchange rate
changes. Also, Florsheim Australia’s first quarter 2009 earnings from
operations were reduced by $370,000 of acquisition costs.
Other
income and expense and taxes
Other
income during the first quarter of 2010 was $133,000 compared with expense of
$94,000 in the prior year period. The increase this year primarily
related to foreign exchange gains on intercompany loans.
The
Company’s effective tax rate in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was 34.4%
compared with 35.7% in the same period last year. The decrease was
due to a lower effective tax rate associated with the earnings at Florsheim
Australia.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL
RESOURCES
The
Company’s primary source of liquidity is its cash and short-term marketable
securities. During the first three months of 2010, the Company
generated $2.0 million in cash from operating activities compared with $6.0
million in the same period one year ago. This decrease was primarily
due to a smaller decrease in inventory levels in the first quarter of 2010
compared with the same period of 2009. Capital expenditures were
$385,000 in the first quarter of 2010. The Company expects annual
capital expenditures for 2010 to be between $1.0 million and $2.0
million.
11
The
Company paid cash dividends of $1.7 million and $1.6 million during the three
months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. On April 21,
2010, the Company’s Board of Directors increased the quarterly dividend rate
from $.15 per share to $.16 per share. This represents an increase of
7% in the quarterly dividend rate. The impact of this will be to
increase cash dividends paid annually by approximately $450,000.
The
Company continues to repurchase its common stock under its share repurchase
program when the Company believes market conditions are favorable. To
date in 2010, the Company has repurchased 4,100 shares at a total cost of
$90,200. The Company currently has 1,381,645 shares available under
its previously announced buyback program. See Part II, Item 2,
“Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” below for more
information.
The
Company had a total of $50.0 million available under its borrowing facility, and
no outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2010. The facility includes
one financial covenant that specifies a minimum level of net
worth. The Company was in compliance with the covenant at March 31,
2010. The facility expired on April 30, 2010 and was renewed through
April 30, 2011.
The
Company will continue to evaluate the best uses for its free cash, including
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 in 2010.
