Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On March 7, 2007, Rocky Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release
entitled “Rocky Brands, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and 2006 Full Year Results” regarding its
consolidated financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2006. A copy of
the Company’s press release is furnished as Exhibit 99 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein
by reference.
The
information in this Form 8-K and accompanying press release is being furnished under Item
2.02 and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such section,
nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities
Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in
such a filing.
The information contained or incorporated by reference in this Form 8-K contains certain
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors
created thereby. Those statements include, but may not be limited to, all statements regarding
intent, beliefs, expectations, projections, forecasts, and plans of the Company and its management,
and include statements in the accompanying press release regarding future long-term prospects,
expected 2007 revenues and earnings, and improvements in the Company’s operating platform
(paragraphs 5, 16, and 17 of the press release). These forward-looking statements involve numerous
risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, the various risks inherent in the Company’s
business as set forth in periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (filed
March 16, 2006), and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 (filed
May 10, 2006), June 30, 2006 (filed August 9, 2006), and September 30, 2006 (filed November 8,
2006). One or more of these factors have affected historical results, and could in the future
affect the Company’s businesses and financial results in future periods and could cause actual
results to differ materially from plans and projections. Therefore there can be no assurance that
the forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Form 8-K will prove
to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking
statements included or incorporated by reference herein, the Company, or any other person should
not regard the inclusion of such information as a representation that the objectives and plans of
the Company will be achieved. All forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by
reference in this Form 8-K are based on information presently available to the management of the
Company. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
