Amounts referred to as “Adjusted” are non-GAAP measures that exclude the items defined as “Non-GAAP Adjustments” in the “Non-GAAP Reconciliation” section.

Third Quarter 2023 Results

  • Revenue decreased 0.7% to $552.7 million compared to $556.6 million in the same period of 2022.
  • Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 42.1% compared to 41.2% in the same period of 2022.
  • Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue were 27.1%, which is the same percentage as in the same period of 2022. Adjusted operating expenses as a percentage of revenue were 27.0%, also the same percentage as in the same period of 2022.
  • Income from operations totaled $82.7 million, or 15.0% of revenue, compared to $78.8 million, or 14.1% of revenue, in the same period of 2022. Adjusted income from operations totaled $83.4 million, or 15.1% of revenue, compared to $79.0 million, or 14.2% of revenue, in the same period of 2022.

Adjusted net income attributable to Steven Madden, Ltd. was $65.1 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, compared to $61.5 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, in the same period of 2022.

Edward Rosenfeld, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We were pleased to return to year-over-year earnings growth in the third quarter, demonstrating the strength and durability of our business model in challenging operating environments. Our team prudently managed inventory and expenses – which enabled us to drive operating margin improvement in both wholesale and direct-to-consumer channels – while continuing to invest in our long-term growth initiatives. While softer trends across the industry since September have left us incrementally more cautious on the near-term outlook, we remain confident that our core strengths – our people, brands and business model – will enable us to deliver sustainable revenue and earnings growth over the long term.”

Third Quarter 2023 Channel Results

Revenue for the wholesale business was $433.5 million, a 0.3% decrease compared to the third quarter of 2022. Wholesale footwear revenue decreased 7.5%, while wholesale accessories/apparel revenue increased 22.7%. Gross profit as a percentage of wholesale revenue increased to 35.9% compared to 35.3% in the third quarter of 2022 driven by margin improvement in the wholesale accessories/apparel segment.

Direct-to-consumer revenue was $116.4 million, a 1.8% decrease compared to the third quarter of 2022 driven by a decline in the e-commerce business. Gross profit as a percentage of direct-to-consumer revenue improved to 63.7% compared to 61.2% in the third quarter of 2022 driven by lower freight expenses and reduced promotional activity.

The Company ended the quarter with 251 brick-and-mortar retail stores and five e-commerce websites, as well as 22 company-operated concessions in international markets.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

As of September 30, 2023, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $206.4 million. Inventory totaled $205.7 million, a 15.8% decrease compared to the third quarter of 2022.

During the third quarter of 2023, the Company spent $40.0 million 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 December 29, 2023 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 15, 2023.
