The December 31, 2023 balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements; however, the accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the annual disclosures required under GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain reclassifications have been made to the condensed consolidated financial statements in prior years to conform to the current year presentation.

Noncontrolling Interests AND REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

The Company has equity interests in several joint ventures that were established either to exclusively distribute the Company’s products throughout China, Israel, Korea, Mexico, and Southeast Asia or to construct the Company’s domestic distribution facility. These joint ventures are variable interest entities (“VIE”), and the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. This determination is based on the relationships between the Company and the VIE, including management agreements, governance documents and other contractual arrangements. Specifically, the Company has both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE, or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The assets and liabilities and results of operations of these entities are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, even though the Company may not hold a majority equity interest.

A joint venture agreement allows the partner, based on certain triggers, to require the Company to repurchase its noncontrolling interest. As the redemption feature is not solely within the control of the Company, the noncontrolling interest is classified within temporary equity as redeemable noncontrolling interest. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, it was not probable that the redeemable noncontrolling interest would become redeemable. Prior periods presented were revised to reflect consistent presentation as the result of this correction. The impact to the previously reported Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023, was as follows:

	As of December 31, 2023
(in thousands)	As reported		Revised		Adjustment
Redeemable noncontrolling interest	$	—	$	89,832	$	89,832
Noncontrolling interests		380,700		290,868		(89,832	)
Total stockholders' equity		4,400,042		4,310,210		(89,832	)

The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income did not have any classification changes, only a change in the category descriptions to indicate as noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interest.

The Company continues to reassess these relationships quarterly. The assets of these joint ventures are restricted, as they are not available for general business use outside the context of such joint ventures. The holders of the liabilities of each joint venture have no recourse to the Company.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value hierarchy as defined by applicable accounting standards prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:

•Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2: Other observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

•Level 3: Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

9

The Company’s Level 1 investments primarily include money market funds, United States (“U.S.”) Treasury securities and actively traded mutual funds; Level 2 investments primarily include corporate notes and bonds, asset-backed securities and U.S. Agency securities; and the Company does not currently have any Level 3 assets or liabilities. The Company has one Level 2 derivative instrument which is an interest rate swap (see Note 4 – Financial Commitments) classified as prepaid expenses and other at June 30, 2024 and as other assets, net at December 31, 2023. The fair value of the interest rate swap was determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipt was based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. Credit valuation adjustments were incorporated to appropriately reflect both the Company’s nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.

The carrying amount of receivables, payables and other amounts arising out of the normal course of business approximates fair value because of the relatively short maturity of such instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s short-term and long-term borrowings, which are considered Level 2 liabilities, approximates fair value based on current rates and terms available to the Company for similar debt.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company uses an interest rate swap as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. The Company’s interest rate swap, designated as a cash flow hedge, involves the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. By utilizing an interest rate swap, the Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event that the counterparty fails to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. To mitigate this risk, the Company enters into derivative contracts with major financial institutions based upon credit ratings and other factors. The Company continually assesses the creditworthiness of its counterparties. As of June 30, 2024, all counterparties to the interest rate swap had performed in accordance with their contractual obligations.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Among other new disclosure requirements, ASU 2023-07 requires companies to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. ASU 2023-07 will be effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2024 and interim periods beginning on January 1, 2025. ASU 2023-07 must be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the disclosure impact of ASU 2023-07.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires companies to disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, ASU 2023-09 requires companies to disclose additional information about income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025 and will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the disclosure impact of ASU 2023-09.

RecentLY ADOPTED Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01 Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements, which requires all lessees to amortize leasehold improvements associated with common control leases over their useful life to the common control group. The Company adopted ASU 2023-01 on January 1, 2024, and the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Total	$	1,324,587	$	1,333,122	$	1,189,910	$	72,595	$	70,617

The Company’s investments consist of U.S. Treasury securities, corporate notes and bonds, asset-backed securities and U.S. agency securities, which the Company has the intent and ability to hold to maturity and therefore are classified as held-to-maturity. The Company holds mutual funds in its deferred compensation plan which are classified as trading securities. The Company may sell certain of its investments prior to their stated maturities for strategic reasons including, but not limited to, anticipation of credit deterioration and duration management. The maturities of the Company’s long-term investments are less than two years. The Company minimizes the potential risk of principal loss by investing in highly-rated securities and limiting the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. Fair values were determined for each individual security in the investment portfolio. Included in long-term investments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are company owned life insurance contracts of $61.7 million and $53.4 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Interest income was $10.5 million and $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and $19.0 million and $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

When evaluating an investment for its current expected credit losses, the Company reviews factors such as historical experience with defaults, losses, credit ratings, term and macroeconomic trends, including current conditions and forecasts to the extent they are reasonable and supportable.

HF-T1 Distribution Center Loan

To finance construction and improvements to the Company’s North American distribution center, the Company’s joint venture with HF Logistics I, LLC (“HF”), HF Logistics-SKX, LLC (the “JV”), through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the JV (“HF-T1”), entered into a $129.5 million construction loan agreement which matures on March 18, 2025 (the “HF-T1 2020 Loan”) with interest of SOFR Daily Floating Rate plus a margin of 1.75% per annum.

HF-T1 also entered into an ISDA master agreement (together with the schedule related thereto, the “Swap Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. to govern derivative and/or hedging transactions that HF-T1 concurrently entered into with Bank of America, N.A. Pursuant to the Swap Agreement, on August 14, 2015, HF-T1 entered into a confirmation of swap transactions (the “Interest Rate Swap”) as amended (the “Swap Agreement Amendment”) on March 18, 2020 with Bank of America, N.A. with a maturity date of March 18, 2025. The Swap Agreement Amendment fixes the effective interest rate on the HF-T1 2020 Loan at 2.55% per annum. The HF-T1 2020 Loan and Swap Agreement Amendment are subject to customary covenants and events of default. Bank of America, N.A. also acts as a lender and syndication agent under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The obligations of the JV under this loan are guaranteed by HF.

The Interest Rate Swap involves the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Interest Rate Swap had an aggregate notional amount of $129.5 million. Under the terms of the Swap Agreement Amendment, the Company will pay a weighted-average fixed rate of 0.778% on the notional amount and receive payments from the counterparty based on the 30-day SOFR rate, effectively modifying the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by converting floating-rate debt to a fixed rate of 2.63%. At June 30, 2024, the outstanding balance under the HF-T1 2020 Loan was classified as current installments of long-term borrowings.

HF-T2 Distribution Center Construction Loan

On April 3, 2020, HF Logistics-SKX T2, LLC (“HF-T2”), a joint venture, entered into a construction loan agreement of up to $73.0 million with Bank of America, N.A. to expand the North American distribution center. The maturity date is April 3, 2025. The interest rate is based on the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index Daily Floating Rate plus a margin of 190 basis points, reducing to 175 basis points upon substantial completion of the construction and certain other conditions being satisfied. The weighted-average annual interest rate on borrowings was 7.11% during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The obligations of the JV under this loan are guaranteed by TGD Holdings I, LLC, which is an affiliate of HF. At June 30, 2024, the outstanding balance under the HF-T2 2020 Loan was classified as current installments of long-term borrowings.

China Distribution Center Expansion Construction Loan

On October 18, 2022, the Company entered into a loan agreement for 1.1 billion yuan with Bank of China Co., Ltd to finance the construction of its distribution center expansion in China. Interest is paid quarterly. The interest rate at June 30, 2024 was 3.05% and may increase or decrease over the life of the loan, and will be evaluated every 12 months. This loan matures 10 years from the initial receipt of funds. Beginning in 2026, the principal of the loan will be repaid in semi-annual installments of variable amounts. The obligations of this loan entered through the Company’s Taicang Subsidiary are jointly and severally guaranteed by the Company’s China joint venture.

China Operational Loans

The Company has certain secured credit facilities to support the operations of its China joint venture. The interest rate was 2.60% per annum at June 30, 2024 and had interest rates ranging from 2.75% to 2.90% per annum at December 31, 2023. The outstanding balances under these working capital loans are classified as current installments of long-term borrowings.

(5)Stockholders' Equity and Stock Compensation

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

On January 31, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “2022 Share Repurchase Program”), pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, purchase shares of its Class A common stock, for an aggregate repurchase price not to exceed $500 million. The 2022 Share Repurchase Program expires on January 31, 2025 and does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of shares. At June 30, 2024, there was $145.7 million remaining to repurchase shares under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program.

On July 23, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program effective July 25, 2024, pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, purchase shares of its Class A common stock, for an aggregate repurchase price not to exceed $1.0 billion. This repurchase program expires on July 25, 2027, does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of shares, and replaced the prior share repurchase authorization. Remaining repurchase authorization under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program was terminated upon authorization of the new program.

The following table provides a summary the Company’s stock repurchase activities:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Shares repurchased		878,900		579,475		1,873,115		1,255,665

INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN

In the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted restricted stock with time-based vesting as well as performance-based awards. The performance-based awards include a market condition tied to the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) in relation to its peer companies as well as a financial performance condition tied to annual earnings per share (“EPS”) growth. The vesting and ultimate payout of performance awards is determined at the end of the three-year performance period and can vary from zero to 200% based on actual results. At June 30, 2024, there were 5,750,582 shares available for grant as equity awards under the 2023 Incentive Award Plan if target levels are achieved for performance-based awards and 5,166,132 if maximum levels are achieved.

13

The Company issued the following stock-based instruments:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024				2023
	Granted		Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value		Granted		Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Restricted stock		1,174,060	$	58.90		885,490	$	45.83
Performance-based restricted stock		93,500	$	60.91		121,225	$	43.34
Market-based restricted stock		93,500	$	78.80		121,225	$	59.71

The Company determines the fair value of restricted stock awards and any performance-related components based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. For share-based awards with a performance-based vesting requirement, the Company evaluates the probability of achieving the performance criteria throughout the performance period and will adjust stock compensation expense up or down based on its estimated probable outcome. Certain performance-based awards contain market condition components which are valued on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

A summary of the status and changes of the Company’s unvested shares is presented below:

	Shares			Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Unvested at December 31, 2023		3,462,705		$	43.54

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $22.6 million and $16.9 million of incentive stock compensation expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $42.2 million and $30.4 million of incentive stock compensation expense. At June 30, 2024, the unamortized stock compensation of $124.3 million is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.66 years.

STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

A total of 5,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock are available for sale under the 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2018 ESPP”). The 2018 ESPP provides eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries the opportunity to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at a purchase price equal to 85% of the fair market value on the first trading day or last trading day of each purchase period, whichever is lower. Eligible employees can invest up to 15% of their compensation through payroll deductions during each purchase period. The purchase price discount and the look-back feature cause the 2018 ESPP to be compensatory and the Company recognizes compensation expense, which is computed using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $0.9 million and $0.8 million ESPP stock compensation expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $1.9 million and $1.5 million of ESPP stock compensation expense. At June 30, 2024, there were 3,437,873 shares available for sale under the 2018 ESPP.

(6)Earnings Per Share

Basic EPS and diluted EPS are calculated by dividing net earnings by the following: for basic EPS, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period; and for diluted EPS, the sum of the weighted-average number of both outstanding common shares and potentially dilutive common shares using the treasury stock method.

14

The calculation of EPS is as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands, except per share data)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Net earnings attributable to Skechers U.S.A., Inc.	$	140,302	$	152,759	$	346,924	$	313,202
Weighted-average common shares outstanding, basic		152,503		154,970		152,707		155,055
Dilutive effect of nonvested shares		1,673		1,601		1,933		1,599
Weighted-average common shares outstanding, diluted		154,176		156,571		154,640		156,654
Anti-dilutive common shares excluded above		12		12		11		14
Net earnings per share attributable to Skechers U.S.A., Inc.
Basic	$	0.92	$	0.99	$	2.27	$	2.02
Diluted	$	0.91	$	0.98	$	2.24	$	2.00

(7)Income Taxes

The tax provisions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, were computed using the estimated effective tax rates applicable to each of the domestic and international taxable jurisdictions for the full year. The Company’s provision for income tax expense and effective income tax rate are significantly impacted by the mix of the Company’s domestic and foreign earnings (loss) before income taxes. In the foreign jurisdictions in which the Company has operations, the applicable statutory rates range from 0% to 35%, which is on average significantly lower than the U.S. federal and state combined statutory rate of 25%. The Company’s effective tax rate was 19.7% and 17.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. For the quarter, the increase in the effective tax rate is the result of the mix of earnings across foreign jurisdictions. The Company's effective tax rate was 19.3% and 18.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Year-to-date, the increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the lower impact of positive discrete items in the current year compared to the positive impacts in the prior year.

Our U.S. federal tax returns are under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 through December 31, 2022. We are unable to determine the impact as this examination has not been completed.

(8)Related Party Transactions

The Skechers Foundation (the “Foundation”) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit entity and not a subsidiary or otherwise affiliated with the Company. The Company does not have a financial interest in the Foundation. However, two officers and directors of the Company, Michael Greenberg, the Company’s President, and David Weinberg, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, are officers and directors of the Foundation. The Company made contributions of $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023.

(9)Segment and Geographic Information

The Company has two reportable segments, Wholesale and Direct-to-Consumer. Management evaluates segment performance based primarily on sales and gross margin.

(10)Commitments and Contingencies

In accordance with GAAP, the Company records a liability in its condensed consolidated financial statements for loss contingencies when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When determining the estimated loss or range of loss, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded. Estimates of probable losses resulting from litigation and governmental proceedings are inherently difficult to predict, particularly when the matters are in the procedural stages or with unspecified or indeterminate claims for damages, potential penalties, or fines. Accordingly, the Company cannot determine the final amount, if any, of its liability beyond the amount accrued in the condensed consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2024, nor is it possible to estimate what litigation-related costs will be in the future; however, the Company believes that the likelihood that claims related to litigation would result in a material loss to the Company, either individually or in the aggregate, is remote.

(11)Business Combinations

Business acquisitions are accounted for under the acquisition method by assigning the purchase consideration to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The results of businesses acquired in a business combination are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their fair values and the excess of the purchase consideration over the amounts assigned is recorded as goodwill. Purchased intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Fair value determinations require judgment and may involve the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, asset lives, and market multiples, among other items.

On May 31, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests of Sports Connection Holdings ApS ("Sports Connection"), a Denmark-based company and a former distributor, to further broaden our reach in Europe. The total consideration was $83.7 million and consisted of an initial cash payment of $74.8 million, the settlement of pre-existing receivables of $1.7 million and a contingent consideration payable of up to $7.5 million, subject to the acquiree achieving certain 2023 financial results, and reduced by a working capital adjustment of $0.3 million. On the acquisition date, we recorded intangible assets of $54.4 million, goodwill of $7.7 million and other net assets of $21.6 million. The intangible assets have an estimated life of 7 years and are primarily related to reacquired rights. The acquisition is a non-taxable business combination and goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The contingent consideration was paid in February 2024, for $7.1 million based on the acquiree achieving certain financial results in 2023.

The results of Sports Connection's operations have been included in, but are not material to, the Company's condensed consolidated results of operations since the date of acquisition. Unaudited supplemental pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effect of the acquisition was not material to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. One-time acquisition related costs of $1.6 million were expensed as general and administrative expenses as incurred.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in Item 1 of this report and our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

We intend for this discussion to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our condensed consolidated financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from period to period, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles affect our condensed consolidated financial statements. The discussion also provides information about the financial results of the various segments of our business to provide a better understanding of how those segments and their results affect the financial condition and results of operations of our company as a whole.

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements with regards to future revenue, projected operating results, earnings, spending, margins, cash flow, orders, expected timing of shipment of products, inventory levels, future growth or success in specific countries, categories or market sectors, continued or expected distribution to specific retailers, liquidity, capital resources and market risk, strategies and objectives. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or simply state future results, performance or achievements, and can be identified by the use of forward-looking language such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” “could,” “may,” “might,” or any variations of such words with similar meanings. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements, and reported results shall not be considered an indication of our future performance. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include:

•our ability to maintain our brand image and to anticipate, forecast, identify, and respond to changes in fashion trends, consumer demand for the products and other market factors;

•our ability to sustain, manage and forecast our costs and proper inventory levels;

•our ability to remain competitive among sellers of footwear for consumers, including in the highly competitive performance footwear market;

•global economic, political and market conditions including the effects of inflation and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations around the world, the challenging consumer retail market in the United States (“U.S.”) and the impact of war and other conflicts around the world;

•the loss of any significant customers, decreased demand by industry retailers and the cancellation of order commitments;

•our ability to continue to manufacture and ship our products that are sourced in China and Vietnam, which could be adversely affected by various economic, political, health or trade conditions, or a natural disaster in China or Vietnam; and

•our ability to manage the impact from delays and disruptions in our supply chain

•other factors referenced or incorporated by reference in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 under the captions “Item 1A: Risk Factors” and “Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

The risks included herein are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report may include additional factors that could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risk factors emerge from time to time. We cannot predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these inherent and changing risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our opinions only as of the date of this quarterly report, as a prediction of actual results. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking statements after the date of this document, except as otherwise required by reporting requirements of applicable federal and states securities laws.

OVERVIEW

Skechers continued 2024 by setting a second quarter sales record of $2.16 billion, an increase of 7.2% compared to the same period as the prior year, driven by strong demand for our strong portfolio of innovative footwear. Sales increased in both segments led by international direct-to-consumer and domestic wholesale, increasing 15% and 14%. In addition, we experienced growth across all regions and gross margin improved to 54.9%. Diluted earnings per share were $0.91, a decrease of $0.07 per share compared to the prior year. The broad-based growth is the result of our dedication to delivering exceptional product for consumers of all ages and interests.

We make efforts to deploy our capital in meaningful ways while maintaining a strong financial position and sufficient liquidity. On July 23, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a new three-year share repurchase program effective July 25, 2024, pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $1.0 billion in shares of its Class A common stock.

18

We focus our initiatives with targeted and effective demand creation. In the quarter ending June 30, 2024, we entered into a new partnership with John Deere, delivering a product that incorporates the iconic John Deere branding with Skechers’ comfort technologies for agricultural professionals, construction workers, outdoor enthusiasts, and others. In our Performance footwear, we aired our first commercial featuring Harry Kane, Golden Boot winner Euro Cup finalist and Captain of the England football team. Skechers Football boots released globally in July, and will be shortly followed by the global release of Skechers Basketball.

As we continue to drive purchase intent and brand awareness, and increase our offering of Skechers products globally, we remain focused on building efficiencies within our business to scale for profitable growth. Our extensive product offering, best-in-class partnerships with our distribution network and strong global demand provide us confidence as we move toward our goal of $10 billion in annual sales by 2026.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – SECOND QUARTER

We have two reportable segments, Wholesale and Direct-to-Consumer. Wholesale includes sales to department stores, family shoe stores, specialty running and sporting goods retailers, and big box club stores; franchisee and licensee third-party store operators; dedicated e-commerce retailers; and international distributors. Direct-to-Consumer includes direct sales to consumers through an integrated retail format of company-owned physical stores and digital platforms and hosted digital marketplaces in select international markets.

Sales

Sales increased $145.1 million, or 7.2%, to $2.2 billion compared to $2.0 billion as a result of a 6.9% increase internationally and a 7.7% increase domestically. Direct-to-Consumer increased 9.2% and Wholesale increased 5.5%. Sales increased overall due to higher sales volume, partially offset by lower average selling prices.

Gross margin

Gross margin increased 220 basis points to 54.9% compared to 52.7%, primarily due to lower costs per unit, driven by lower freight costs and favorable mix of Direct-to-Consumer volumes.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses increased $135.1 million, or 16.0%, to $977.9 million, and as a percentage of sales increased 340 basis points to 45.3%. Selling expenses increased $48.8 million, or 26.1%, to $235.9 million, primarily due to higher brand demand creation expenditures. General and administrative expenses increased $86.4 million, or 13.2%, to $742.0 million. The increased expenses were primarily driven by increases in labor costs of $33.8 million and facility related costs of $18.4 million, including rent and depreciation.

Other (expense) income

Other expense was $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to income of $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease of $4.4 million was primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by an increase in interest income.

Income taxes

Income tax expense and the effective tax rate were as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2024			2023
Income tax expense	$	40,355		$	38,942
Effective tax rate		19.7	%		17.7	%

Our income tax expense and effective income tax rate are significantly impacted by the mix of our domestic and foreign earnings before income taxes. In the foreign jurisdictions in which we have operations, the applicable statutory rates range from 0% to 35%, and on average is significantly lower than the U.S. federal and state combined statutory rate of 25%. For the quarter, the increase in the effective tax rate is the result of the mix of earnings across foreign jurisdictions.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") has issued various proposals that would change long-standing global tax principles, namely its Pillar Two framework, which imposes a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15% for large companies. While some member countries have adopted the framework, which generally provides for a 15% minimum effective tax rate for multinational enterprises, in every jurisdiction in which they operate, we do not anticipate that this will have a material impact on our tax provision or effective tax rate in 2024. We will continue to evaluate the potential impact of the Pillar Two framework on future periods.

Noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interest in net earnings of consolidated subsidiaries

Noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the share of net earnings that is attributable to our joint venture partners. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interest decreased $4.6 million to $24.2 million, compared to $28.8 million in the prior year, due to lower earnings by our joint ventures, predominantly in China.

Sales

Sales increased $394.8 million, or 9.8%, to $4.4 billion, as compared to $4.0 billion as a result of an 11.1% increase internationally and a 7.8% increase domestically. Direct-to-Consumer increased 12.7% and Wholesale increased 7.9%. Sales increased overall due to higher sales volume.

Gross margin

Gross margin increased 290 basis points to 53.7% compared to 50.8%, due to lower costs per unit, driven by lower freight.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses increased $262.9 million, or 16.5%, to $1.9 billion, and as a percentage of sales increased 240 basis points to 42.2%. Selling expenses increased $76.7 million, or 24.3%, to $392.4 million, primarily due to higher brand demand creation expenditures. General and administrative expenses increased $186.3 million, or 14.5%, to $1.5 billion. The increased expenses were driven by increases in labor costs of $86.5 million, facility related costs of $36.2 million, including rent and depreciation, legal fees of $12.9 million, and volume-driven warehouse and distribution costs of $7.6 million.

Other (expense) income

Other expense was $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to income of $12.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease of $16.4 million was primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by an increase in interest income.

Income taxes

Income tax expense and the effective tax rate were as follows:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2024			2023
Income tax expense	$	96,725		$	82,158
Effective tax rate		19.3	%		18.1	%

Our provision for income tax expense and effective income tax rate are significantly impacted by the mix of our domestic and foreign earnings (loss) before income taxes. In the foreign jurisdictions in which we have operations, the applicable statutory rates range from 0% to 35%, which on average are generally significantly lower than the U.S. federal and state combined statutory rate of approximately 25%. Year-to-date, the increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the lower impact of positive discrete items in the current year compared to the positive impacts in the prior year.

21

Noncontrolling interest and redeemable noncontrolling interest in net income of consolidated joint ventures

Noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the share of net earnings that is attributable to our joint venture partners. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interest decreased $0.7 million to $58.0 million compared to $58.7 million in the prior year, due to lower earnings by our joint ventures.

Direct-to-Consumer sales increased $208.6 million, or 12.7%, to $1.9 billion, which includes increases in Europe, Middle East & Africa of 48.3%, Asia Pacific of 10.7%, and the Americas of 6.8%. Direct-to-Consumer volume increased 12.5% and average selling price increased 0.2%.

Direct-to-Consumer gross margin increased 10 basis points to 66.5% due to higher average selling prices and favorable mix of sales, partially offset by higher costs per unit.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity outlook

We have cash and cash equivalents of $1,280.4 million at June 30, 2024. Amounts held outside the U.S. were $1,250.9 million, or 97.7% and $642.7 million was available for repatriation to the U.S. at June 30, 2024, without incurring additional U.S. federal income taxes and applicable non-U.S. income and withholding taxes.

At June 30, 2024, we have unused credit capacity of $746.1 million on our revolving credit facility, with an additional $250.0 million available through an accordion feature. We believe that anticipated cash flows from operations, existing cash and investments balances, available borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and current financing arrangements will be sufficient to provide us with the liquidity necessary to fund our anticipated working capital and capital requirements for the next twelve months.

Cash Flows

Our working capital at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $2.2 billion. Our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2024 were $1,280.4 million, compared to $1,189.9 million at December 31, 2023. Capital expenditures were $169.5 million and we repurchased $120.0 million of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our primary source of operating cash are collections from customers. Our primary uses of cash are working capital, selling, general and administrative expenses and capital expenditures.

Operating Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $494.4 million compared to $575.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $80.8 million decrease in operating cash flows primarily resulted from changes in working capital, partially offset by an increase in net earnings.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $240.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $222.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $18.0 million increase was due to net investment activity of $66.3 million and capital expenditures of $22.1 million, partially offset by the acquisitions of $70.4 million in the prior year.

22

Our capital investments remain focused on supporting our strategic growth priorities, growing our Direct-to-Consumer business, as well as expanding the presence of our brand internationally. Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $169.5 million, which included $72.2 million related to investments in our retail stores and direct-to-consumer technologies; $53.0 million related to the expansion of our global distribution infrastructure; and $20.8 million of investments in our new corporate offices. We expect our annual capital expenditures for 2024 to be approximately $325.0 to $375.0 million, which is primarily related to new stores, added omnichannel capabilities and incremental distribution capacity in key markets. We expect to fund ongoing capital expenses through a combination of available cash and borrowings.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $163.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $63.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase of $100.5 million is the result of repurchases of common stock of $60.0 million, distributions to noncontrolling interests of $38.3 million, payments for employee taxes related to stock compensation of $30.3 million, and repayments on short-term borrowings of $28.9 million. These increases were partially offset by increased proceeds and decreased repayments from long-term borrowing of $55.6 million.

Capital Resources and Prospective Capital Requirements

Share Repurchase Program

On July 23, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program effective July 25, 2024, pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $1.0 billion in shares of its Class A common stock. This repurchase program expires on July 25, 2027, does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of shares and replaced the prior share repurchase program authorization. Remaining repurchase authorization under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program was terminated upon commencement of the new program.

Financing Arrangements

At June 30, 2024, outstanding borrowings were $338.6 million, of which $248.2 million relates to loans for our domestic and China distribution centers, $90.1 million relates to our operations in China, and the remainder relates to our international operations. Our long-term debt obligations contain both financial and non-financial covenants, including cross-default provisions. We were in compliance with all debt covenants related to our short-term and long-term borrowings as of the date of this quarterly report. See Note 4 – Financial Commitments of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies and estimates did not change materially during the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes from the information previously reported under Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods and that such information is accumulated and communicated to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective due to the un-remediated material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting described below. Notwithstanding the material weakness, our management has concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As previously reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the information technology general controls related to segregation of duties within an information system relevant to the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

23

Under the direction of the Audit Committee, our management is in the process of designing and implementing effective internal control measures to remediate the material weakness. These efforts include:

•Rationalizing user access roles and privileges;

•Implementing user activity monitoring; and

•Formalizing additional compensating control activities over the completeness and accuracy of data provided by the affected system.

The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the enhanced controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the related controls are effective. We will monitor the effectiveness of the remediation plan and refine the remediation plan as appropriate.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Other than the ongoing remediation efforts described above, there were no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

LIMITATIONS ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Assessments of any evaluation of controls’ effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements as a result of error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Nike, Inc. v. Skechers USA, Inc. – On November 6, 2023, Nike filed an action against our company in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Case No. 2:23-CV-09346, alleging that certain Skechers shoe designs infringe the claims of six Nike utility patents that purportedly cover Nike’s Flyknit technologies. Nike seeks injunctive relief, damages (including treble damages), pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, and costs. On January 12, 2024, we answered Nike’s complaint, denying the allegations, and filed counterclaims seeking declarations of invalidity of the asserted patents, and non-infringement. The District Court has scheduled a claim construction hearing for September 20, 2024, and set a deadline of December 20, 2024 for the filing of summary judgment motions. The Court has also set trial to begin on September 15, 2025. While it is too early to predict the outcome of the District Court proceedings or whether an adverse result would have a material adverse impact on our operations or financial position, we believe we have meritorious defenses and intend to defend this matter vigorously.

Other than the Nike, Inc. v. Skechers USA, Inc. matter as described above, there have been no material developments with respect to the information previously reported under Part I, Item 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
