Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Unaudited

June 30, 2024

(in thousands except per share data)

Note A – Basis of Reporting

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Steven Madden, Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company, the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Annual Report of Steven Madden, Ltd. on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 4, 2024.

Note B – Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant areas involving management estimates include variable consideration included in revenue, allowances for bad debts, inventory valuation, and valuation of goodwill and intangible assets. The Company estimates variable consideration for future customer chargebacks and markdown allowances, discounts, returns, and other miscellaneous compliance-related deductions that relate to current-period sales. The Company evaluates anticipated chargebacks by reviewing several performance indicators of its major customers. These performance indicators, which include retailers’ inventory levels, sell-through rates, and gross margin levels, are analyzed by management to estimate the amount of the anticipated customer allowances.

Note C – Acquisitions and Joint Ventures

Almost Famous

On October 20, 2023, Daniel M. Friedman & Associates, Inc. (“Buyer”), a New York corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities (the “Business”) of Turn On Products Inc. d/b/a Almost Famous (“Seller” or “Almost Famous”), pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, by and among Buyer, the Company, Seller, and the holders of capital stock of Seller. Almost Famous is a designer and marketer of women’s junior apparel. Almost Famous distributes its products to wholesale customers, including mass merchants, department stores, off-price retailers, and chain stores within the United States. Almost Famous markets products under its own brands, primarily Almost Famous, as well as private label brands for various retailers. This Business was acquired for cash consideration of $73,228 and a future payment contingent on the Almost Famous business achieving certain earnings before interest and tax ("EBIT") targets. In connection therewith, we recorded an initial short-term liability of $3,325 and a long-term liability of $9,975 as of the date of acquisition to reflect the estimated fair value of the contingent purchase price. The fair value of the contingent payments liability was estimated on the date of acquisition using the risk neutral simulation method, which included significant unobservable Level 3 inputs, such as projected EBIT over the earn-out period and a discount rate of 20.3%. Changes in these significant unobservable inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The maximum consideration which can be paid over the consideration period of four years is $68,000 and there are no minimum payments required. The liability will be remeasured at each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. After the effect of closing adjustments, the total purchase price of the acquisition was $86,528.

The results of the Business have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition within the Wholesale Accessories/Apparel segment.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the October 20, 2023 acquisition date:

(in thousands)	Fair Value
Accounts receivable	$	1,394
Inventories	22,718
Factor accounts receivable	51,940
Operating lease right-of-use asset	2,902
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	172
Property and equipment, net	248
Intangibles, net(1)	32,950
Accounts payable	(31,857)
Accrued expenses	(1,699)
Operating leases - current portion	(474)
Operating leases - long-term portion	(2,703)
Total fair value excluding goodwill	$	75,591
Goodwill	10,937
Net assets acquired	$	86,528

(1) Consists of a Trademark of $9,050 and customer relationships of $23,900, both of which are amortized over 20 years.

The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with FASB Topic ASC 805 ("Business Combinations"), which requires that the total cost of an acquisition be allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values at the date of acquisition.

The Company recorded goodwill for the acquisition based on the amount by which the purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired, which consists largely of the synergies expected from the acquisitions. For tax purposes, goodwill will be amortized over a 15 year period.

Preliminary estimates of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to revision, which may result in adjustments to the preliminary values recorded during the measurement period (a period not to exceed 12 months from acquisition date).

The fair value of the trademark was estimated using the relief-from-royalty method, which presumes the owner of the asset avoids hypothetical royalty payments that would need to be made for the use of the asset if the asset was not owned. Key assumptions and estimates used are forecasted revenue, a royalty rate of 3.0%, and a discount rate of 21.8%. Such assumptions included significant unobservable inputs and changes in these significant unobservable inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The useful life of the trademark was estimated to be 20 years and amortization for the trademark has been recorded in operating expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

The fair value of the customer relationships was estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method. The excess earnings methodology is an income approach methodology that estimates the projected cash flows of the business attributable to the customer relationships, net of charges for the use of other identifiable assets of the business including working capital, fixed assets, and other intangible assets. Key assumptions and estimates used in deriving the projected cash flows are forecasted revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") margin of 8.8%, customer attrition rate of 5.0%, and discount rates in the range of 21.0% to 23.5%. Such assumptions include significant unobservable inputs and such

changes in these significant unobservable inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The useful life of the customer relationships was estimated to be 20 years and amortization for these intangible assets has been recorded in operating expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Transaction costs of $1,505 for the year ended December 31, 2023 have been recorded within operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Hosiery Business

On March 1, 2024 Daniel M. Friedman & Associates, Inc. acquired the Steve Madden and Betsey Johnson hosiery division ("hosiery business") of Gina Group LLC (“Gina”). Gina has been the exclusive licensee of the hosiery category for Steve Madden and Betsey Johnson brands and such license agreements were terminated in conjunction with the acquisition. The assets of the hosiery business were acquired for a cash consideration of $4,259 and the assets acquired included inventories of $2,168, reacquired rights of $1,450, and goodwill of $641.

The results of the business have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition within the Wholesale Accessories/Apparel segment.

Joint Ventures

On May 15, 2024, the Company, through its subsidiary, Madden Europe Holding BV, formed a joint venture ("SM Fashion d.o.o. Beograd") with Milija Babovic. The Company owns 50.01% interest in SM Fashion d.o.o. Beograd and paid an initial nominal contribution. SM Fashion d.o.o. is the exclusive distributor of the Company's products in various countries throughout Southeastern Europe. Since the Company has a controlling financial interest in the joint venture, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of SM Fashion d.o.o. Beograd are consolidated and included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The other member's interest is reflected in “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and “Noncontrolling interests” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On June 1, 2024, the Company, through its subsidiary, Madden Asia Holding Limited, formed a joint venture ("SM Distribution Latin America S. de R.L.") with Steve International Inc.

Since the Company has a controlling financial interest in the joint venture, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of SM Distribution Latin America S. de R.L. are consolidated and included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The other member's interest is reflected in “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and “Noncontrolling interests” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note D – Short-Term Investments

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, short-term investments consisted of certificates of deposit. These securities are classified as current based upon their maturities. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, short-term investments amounted to $11,761 and $15,173, respectively, and as of the balance sheet date have original maturities less than or equal to one year.

Note E – Fair Value Measurement

The accounting guidance under Accounting Standards Codification 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), requires the Company to make disclosures about the fair value of certain of its assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. ASC 820-10

utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. A brief description of those three levels is as follows:

•Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

•Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs; inputs to the valuation methodology based on unobservable prices or valuation techniques that are significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:

	June 30, 2024								December 31, 2023
	Fair value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Fair value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Forward contracts	648		—		648		—		708		—		708		—
Total assets	$	648	$	—	$	648	$	—	$	708	$	—	$	708	$	—

Total liabilities	$	21,749	$	—	$	249	$	21,500	$	15,204	$	—	$	1,904	$	13,300

(1) On June 30, 2024, $11,957 was recorded in Contingent payment liability - current portion and $9,543 was recorded in Contingent payment liability - long-term portion.

(2) On December 31, 2023, $3,325 was recorded in Contingent payment liability - current portion and $9,975 was recorded in Contingent payment liability - long-term portion.

Forward contracts are used to manage the risk associated with the volatility of future cash flows (see Note L – Derivative Instruments). Fair value of these instruments is based on observable market transactions of spot and forward rates.

The Company's recurring Level 3 balance consists of a contingent payment liability related to an acquisition. The changes in the Company's Level 3 liabilities for the periods ended June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:

	Balance at January 1, 2024		Acquisitions		Adjustments(1)		Balance at June 30, 2024
2024
Liabilities:
Contingent payment liability	$	13,300	$	—	$	8,200	$	21,500
2023	Balance at January 1, 2023		Acquisitions		Adjustments		Balance at December 31, 2023
Liabilities:
Contingent payment liability	$	—	$	13,300	$	—	$	13,300

(1) In 2024, amount consists of an adjustment of $8,200 that was included as an expense related to the change in valuation of the contingent payment liability in connection with the acquisition of Almost Famous. The adjustment was recorded in the Wholesale Accessories/Apparel segment.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the contingent payment liability was $21,500 and $13,300, respectively, in connection with the October 20, 2023 acquisition of Almost Famous. The fair value of the contingent payments was estimated using a risk neutral simulation method to model the probability of different financial results of Almost Famous during the earn-out period, utilizing a discount rate of 19.5% and 20.3% at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The change in valuation for the contingent payment liability was a result of updates to the forecasted operating results for the earn-out period.

The fair values of goodwill and intangibles are measured on a non-recurring basis and are determined using Level 3 inputs, including forecasted cash flows, discount rates, and implied royalty rates (see Note C – Acquisitions and Joint Ventures and Note K – Goodwill and Intangible Assets).

The fair values of lease right-of-use assets and fixed assets related to company-owned retail stores are measured on a non-recurring basis and are determined using Level 3 inputs, including estimated discounted future cash flows associated with the assets using sales trends, market rents and market participant assumptions (see Note F – Leases).

The carrying value of certain financial instruments such as cash equivalents, certificates of deposit, accounts receivable, factor accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of their underlying terms. Fair value of the notes receivable held by the Company approximates their carrying value based upon their imputed or actual interest rate, which approximates applicable current market interest rates. Some assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances (non-recurring). These assets can include long-lived assets that have been reduced to fair value when impaired. Assets that are written down to fair value when impaired are not subsequently adjusted to fair value unless further impairment occurs.

Note F – Leases

The Company leases office space, sample production space, warehouses, showrooms, storage units, and retail stores pursuant to operating leases. The Company’s portfolio of leases is primarily related to real estate. Since most of its leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement.

Some of the Company’s retail store leases provide for variable lease payments based on sales volumes at the leased location, which are not measurable at the inception of the lease and are therefore not included in the measurement of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Under Topic 842, these variable lease costs are expensed as incurred.

Lease Position

Note G – Share Repurchase Program

The Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”), effective as of January 1, 2004. The Share Repurchase Program does not have a fixed expiration or termination date and may be modified or terminated by the Board of Directors at any time. On several occasions, the Board of Directors has increased the amount

authorized for repurchase of the Company's common stock. On May 8, 2023, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the Company's share repurchase authorization of approximately $189,900, bringing the total authorization to $250,000. The Share Repurchase Program permits the Company to effect repurchases from time to time through a combination of open market repurchases or in privately negotiated transactions at such prices and times as are determined to be in the best interest of the Company. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, an aggregate of 868 and 1,641 shares of the Company's common stock, excluding net settlements of employee stock awards, were repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program, at a weighted average price per share of $43.22 and $42.76, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $37,515 and $70,159, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, an aggregate of 773 and 1,739 shares of the Company's common stock, excluding net settlements of employee stock awards, were repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program, at a weighted average price per share of $32.66 and $34.39, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $25,230 and $59,811, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, approximately $105,302 remained available for future repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program.

The Steven Madden, Ltd. Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (as further amended, the "2006 Plan"), which expired on April 6, 2019, and the Steven Madden, Ltd. 2019 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (the "2019 Plan"), both provide the Company with the right to deduct or withhold, or require employees to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable tax withholding and/or option cost obligations applicable to stock-based compensation awards. To the extent permitted, employees may elect to satisfy all or part of such withholding obligations by tendering to the Company previously owned shares or by having the Company withhold shares having a fair market value equal to the employee's withholding tax obligation and/or option cost. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, an aggregate of 34 and 143 shares were withheld in connection with the settlement of vested restricted stock to satisfy tax-withholding requirements and option costs, at an average price per share of $42.48 and $42.69, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1,436 and $6,129, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, an aggregate of 16 and 124 shares were withheld in connection with the settlement of vested restricted stock to satisfy tax-withholding requirements and option costs, at an average price per share of $34.55 and $35.78, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $553 and $4,424, respectively.

Note H – Net Income Per Share of Common Stock

Basic net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, which does not include unvested restricted common stock subject to forfeiture of 1,629 shares for the period ended June 30, 2024, compared to 2,145 shares for the period ended June 30, 2023. Diluted net income per share reflects: (a) the potential dilution assuming shares of common stock were issued upon the exercise of outstanding in-the-money options and the assumed proceeds, which are deemed to be the proceeds from the exercise plus compensation cost not yet recognized attributable to future services using the treasury method, were used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period, and (b) the vesting of granted non-vested restricted stock awards for which the assumed proceeds upon

vesting are deemed to be the amount of compensation cost not yet recognized attributable to future services using the treasury stock method, to the extent dilutive.

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Net income attributable to Steven Madden, Ltd.	$	35,376	$	34,529	$	79,310	$	71,259
Basic net income per share	$	0.50	$	0.47	$	1.10	$	0.96
Diluted net income per share	$	0.49	$	0.46	$	1.09	$	0.95
Weighted average common shares outstanding:
Basic	71,458		73,613		71,875		74,053
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock awards and options to purchase shares of common stock	546		1,270		555		1,308
Diluted	72,004		74,883		72,430		75,361

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, options to purchase approximately 24 and 12 shares of common stock have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, options to purchase approximately 17 and 9 shares of common stock have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, 1 and 5 restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share, as compared to approximately 79 and 61 shares that were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, as the result would have been anti-dilutive. The Company had contingently issuable performance awards outstanding that did not meet the performance conditions as of June 30, 2024 and 2023 and, therefore, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The number of potentially dilutive shares that could be issued upon vesting for these performance awards were immaterial as of both June 30, 2024 and 2023. These amounts were also excluded from the computation of weighted average potentially dilutive securities.

Note I – Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate, plus or minus discrete items. The following table presents the provision for income taxes and the effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Income before provision for income taxes	$	48,224	$	45,996	$	106,525	$	94,527
Income tax expense	$	11,276	$	10,923	$	25,015	$	22,668
Effective tax rate	23.4%		23.7%		23.5%		24.0%

The difference between the Company’s effective tax rates of 23.4% and 23.7% and 23.5% and 24.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, is primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax income in jurisdictions with higher tax rates.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain income tax positions in income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits, and interest and penalty expense are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. for federal, state, and local purposes, and in certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company's tax years 2020 through 2023 remain open to examination by most taxing authorities.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was signed into law, which contains certain revisions to the Internal Revenue Code, including a 15% corporate minimum income tax for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. While the 15% corporate minimum income tax has no effect on the Company’s results of operations in the near term, we will continue to evaluate its impact on future years. The IRA also assesses a 1% excise tax on repurchases of corporate stock which impacts the Company’s stock repurchases effective January 1, 2023. The excise tax is recorded as an incremental cost in treasury stock on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and was $331 and $598 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) has implemented the global minimum tax rate of at least 15% for large multinational companies as of 2024 (“Pillar Two”). Under Pillar Two, a top-up tax will be required for any jurisdiction who has enacted Pillar Two and whose effective tax rate falls below the 15% global minimum rate. Additionally, the OECD issued administrative guidance providing transition and safe harbor rules around the implementation of the Pillar Two global minimum tax. Under the safe harbor, companies would be excluded from Pillar Two requirements provided certain criteria are met. Based on preliminary analysis, the enactment of Pillar Two legislation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position. The Company will continue to monitor and reflect the impact of such legislative changes in future periods, as appropriate.

Note J – Equity-Based Compensation

The following table summarizes the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2019 Plan, the number of stock-based awards granted (net of expired or cancelled awards) under the 2019 Plan and the number of shares of common stock available for the grant of stock-based awards under the 2019 Plan:

Common stock authorized(1)	19,000
Stock-based awards, including restricted stock and stock options granted, net of expired or cancelled awards	(8,637)
Common stock available for grant of stock-based awards as of June 30, 2024	10,363

(1) On May 22, 2024, the stockholders of the Company approved amendments to the Steven Madden, Ltd. 2019 Plan to, among other things, increase the number of shares of Company common stock available for issuance under the 2019 Plan. As amended, the 2019 Plan provides that up to a total of 19,000 shares of the Company’s common stock may be issued thereunder.

In addition, vested and unvested options to purchase 45 shares of common stock and 200 shares of unvested restricted stock awarded under the 2006 Plan were outstanding as of June 30, 2024.

Total equity-based compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, options to purchase 70 shares vested with a weighted average exercise price of $36.51 and options to purchase approximately 149 shares vested with a weighted average exercise price of $36.57. As of June 30, 2024, there were unvested options relating to 278 shares of common stock outstanding with a total of $2,712 of unrecognized compensation cost and an average vesting period of 1.2 years.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of options granted, which requires several assumptions. The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on the historical experience of similar awards. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The dividend yield is based on the Company's annualized dividend per share amount divided by the Company's stock price. The following weighted average assumptions were used for stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024	2023
Volatility	34.1% to 47.4%	40.6% to 48.1%
Risk free interest rate	4.0% to 4.6%	3.7% to 4.0%
Expected life in years	3.0 to 4.0	3.0 to 5.0
Dividend yield	2.0%	2.5%
Weighted average fair value	$13.22	$10.95

Activity relating to stock options granted under the Company’s plans during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was as follows:

Performance Based Awards

On March 15, 2024, pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement between the Company and its Chief Executive Officer, Edward R. Rosenfeld, the Company granted to Mr. Rosenfeld 86 performance shares (at target) that are eligible to be earned over a three-year performance period from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026 based on the Company’s average annual return on capital over such performance period compared to the average annual return on capital of a certain defined and predetermined peer group. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company estimated that the probable outcome of the performance conditions, based on performance through such date, was that the performance shares will be earned at 185% of the target level. The corresponding expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 is reflected in our stock-based compensation under restricted and performance based stock.

(2) During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded impairment charges of $6,520 related to the GREATS® trademark.

(3) Includes the effect of foreign currency translation related primarily to the movements of the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso in relation to the U.S. dollar.

The Company evaluates its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually in the beginning of the third quarter of each year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company also periodically performs a quantitative test to assess its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment in lieu of using the qualitative approach in order to reassess the fair values of its reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets. A quantitative assessment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets was performed as of July 1, 2023. In conducting the quantitative impairment assessments for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, the Company concluded that the fair values of its reporting units exceeded their carrying values and the fair values of its indefinite-lived intangibles exceeded their respective carrying values. In the fourth quarter of 2023, certain circumstances occurred that indicated potential impairment and the Company performed a valuation of the GREATS® trademark. The estimated fair value of this trademark was determined using an excess earnings method, incorporating the use of projected financial information and a discount rate of 14.8% which was developed using market participant based assumptions. Changes in these significant unobservable inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. As a result of this assessment, the GREATS® trademark was written down from the carrying value of $12,670 to its fair value of $6,150, resulting in a pre-tax non-cash impairment charge of $6,520. Subsequently, in the first quarter of 2024, circumstances occurred that caused a change in the estimated useful life of the GREATS® trademark from an indefinite life to an estimated useful life of 10 years, and as a result, the Company performed an impairment test. The estimated fair value of this trademark was determined using an excess earnings method, incorporating the use of projected financial information and a discount rate of 14.0% which was developed using market participant based assumptions. Changes in these significant unobservable inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. As a result of this assessment, the GREATS® trademark was written down from the carrying value of $6,150 to its fair value of $4,450, resulting in a pre-tax non-cash impairment charge of $1,700.

These impairment charges were recorded in impairment of intangibles in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and recognized in the Direct-to-Consumer segment.

A quantitative assessment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets was performed as of July 1, 2023. In conducting the quantitative impairment assessments for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, the Company concluded that the fair values of its reporting units exceeded their carrying values and the fair values of its indefinite-lived intangibles exceeded their respective carrying values. In conducting the qualitative impairment assessment for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair values of its reporting units exceeded their carrying values and the fair values of its indefinite-lived intangibles exceeded their respective carrying values. Therefore, in 2023, as a result of the annual test, no impairment charges were recorded for goodwill and intangibles.

Note L – Derivative Instruments

The Company uses derivative instruments, specifically, forward foreign exchange contracts, to manage the risk associated with the volatility of future cash flows. The foreign exchange contracts are used to mitigate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on certain forecasted purchases of inventory and are designated as cash flow hedging instruments. As of June 30, 2024, the Company's entire net forward contracts hedging portfolio consisted of a notional amount of $68,402, with current maturity dates ranging from July 2024 to June 2025 and the fair value included on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in other current assets of $648 and other current liabilities of $249. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, a gain of $33 and $23 was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized in cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company's hedging activities were considered effective, and, thus, no ineffectiveness from hedging activities was recognized during the first and second quarters of 2024 and 2023.

Note O – Credit Agreement

On July 22, 2020, the Company entered into a $150,000 secured revolving credit agreement (as amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”) with various lenders and Citizens Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Agent”), which replaced the Company’s existing credit facility provided by Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. (“Rosenthal”). The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) scheduled to mature on July 22, 2025.

(in thousands except per share data)

The initial $150,000 maximum availability under the Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base calculation consisting of certain eligible accounts receivable, credit card receivables, inventory, and in-transit inventory. Availability under the Credit Facility is reduced by outstanding letters of credit. The Company may from time-to-time increase the maximum availability under the Credit Agreement by up to $100,000 if certain conditions are satisfied.

On March 25, 2022, an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) replaced the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) with the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index (“BSBY”) as the interest rate benchmark. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement generally bear interest at a variable rate equal to a specified margin, which is based upon the average availability under the Credit Facility from time to time, plus, at the Company’s election (i) BSBY for the applicable interest period, or (ii) the base rate (which is the highest of (a) the prime rate announced by the Agent, (b) the sum of the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, and (c) the sum of the one-month BSBY rate plus 1.00%). Furthermore, the Amendment reduced the specified margin used to determine the interest rate under the Credit Agreement and reduced the commitment fee paid by the Company to the Agent, for the account of each lender. Additionally, the Amendment reduced the frequency of the Company’s borrowing base reporting requirements when no loans are outstanding. The Amendment also extended the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to March 20, 2027. As amended on April 3, 2023, on October 23, 2023, the Credit Agreement was further amended to accommodate changes made to the Company’s factoring arrangement with CIT pursuant to the Notification Factoring Rider as described in Note P – Factoring Agreements.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company must also pay (i) a commitment fee to the Agent, for the account of each lender, which accrues at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum on the average daily unused amount of the commitment of such lender, (ii) a letter of credit participation fee to the Agent, for the account of each lender, ranging from 1.25% to 2.50% per annum, based upon average availability under the Credit Facility from time to time, multiplied by the average daily amount available to be drawn under the applicable letter of credit, and (iii) a letter of credit fronting fee to each issuer of a letter of credit under the Credit Agreement, which will accrue at a rate per annum separately agreed upon between the Company and such issuer.

The Credit Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries. Among other requirements, availability under the Credit Facility must, at all times, (i) prior to the occurrence of the permanent borrowing base trigger (as defined in the Credit Agreement), equal or exceed the greater of $22,500 and 15% of the line cap (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and (ii) after the occurrence of the permanent borrowing base trigger, equal or exceed the greater of $15,000 and 10% of the line cap (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Other than this minimum availability requirement, the Credit Agreement does not include any financial maintenance covenants.

The Credit Agreement requires the Company and various subsidiaries of the Company to guarantee each other’s obligations arising from time to time under the Credit Facility, as well as obligations arising in respect of certain cash management and hedging transactions. Subject to customary exceptions and limitations, all borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by a lien on all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and each subsidiary guarantor.

The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. If an event of default under the Credit Agreement occurs and is continuing, then the Agent may, and at the request of the required lenders shall, terminate the loan commitments under the Credit Agreement, declare any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable, or require the Company to adequately cash collateralize outstanding letter of credit obligations. If the Company or, with certain exceptions, a subsidiary becomes the subject of a proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law, then the loan commitments under the Credit Agreement will automatically terminate, and any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement and the cash collateral required under the Credit Agreement for any outstanding letter of credit obligations will become immediately due and payable.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had no cash borrowings and no letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement

Note P – Factoring Agreements

In conjunction with the Credit Agreement described in Note O – Credit Agreement, on July 22, 2020, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Madden Entities”) entered into an Amended and Restated Deferred Purchase Factoring Agreement (the “Factoring Agreement”) with Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. ("Rosenthal"). Pursuant to the Factoring Agreement, Rosenthal serves as the collection agent with respect to certain receivables of the Madden Entities and is entitled to receive a base commission of 0.20% of the gross invoice amount of each receivable assigned for collection, plus certain additional fees and expenses, subject to certain minimum annual commissions. Rosenthal will generally assume the credit risk resulting from a customer’s financial inability to make payment of credit-approved receivables, which are classified as Factor Receivables. The initial term of the Factoring Agreement is twelve months, subject to automatic renewal for additional twelve-month periods, and the Factoring Agreement may be terminated at any time by Rosenthal or the Madden Entities on 60 days' notice and upon the occurrence of certain other events. The Madden Entities pledged all of their rights under the Factoring Agreement to the Agent under the Credit Agreement to secure obligations arising under the Credit Agreement.

On April 3, 2023, in conjunction with a related amendment to the Credit Agreement, the Madden Entities also entered into a Credit Approved Receivables Purchasing Agreement (the “CARPA”) with CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc. (“CIT”). Pursuant to the CARPA, in addition to Rosenthal, CIT will serve as a non-exclusive collection agent with respect to certain of the Madden Entities’ receivables and will generally assume the credit risk resulting from a customer’s financial inability to make payment with respect to credit approved receivables. Additionally, CIT shall compensate the Madden Entities for 50% of the losses sustained for limiting or revoking a credit line during production for any made-to-order goods that have work-in-progress coverage. For its services, CIT will be entitled to receive (1) a base fee of 0.15% of the gross face amount of each receivable assigned for collection having standard payment terms, (2) certain additional fees for receivables with non-standard payment terms or arising from sales to customers outside of the United States, and (3) reimbursement for certain expenses incurred in connection with the CARPA. The Company, on behalf of the Madden Entities, and CIT may each terminate the CARPA as of the last day of the month occurring one year after the date of the CARPA and at any time thereafter by giving the other party at least 60 days’ notice. CIT may also terminate the CARPA immediately upon the occurrence of certain events. The Madden Entities pledged all of their right, title, and interest in and to monies due and to become due under the CARPA in favor of the Agent to secure obligations arising under or in connection with the Credit Agreement.

On October 23, 2023, the Company and Daniel M. Friedman & Associates, Inc. (“DMFA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Notification Factoring Rider to the Credit Approved Receivables Purchasing Agreement (“Notification Factoring Rider”) that amended and supplemented the Factoring Agreement, dated April 3, 2023, among the Company, DMFA and certain of the Company’s other subsidiaries party thereto (collectively with the Company, the “Madden Entities”), and added CIT. The Notification Factoring Rider enables certain receivables generated from assets acquired by DMFA from Turn On Products Inc. d/b/a Almost Famous (“Post-Acquisition Receivables”), which assets were acquired by DMFA on October 20, 2023, to be subject to the Factoring Agreement.

The Notification Factoring Rider modifies the Factoring Agreement to require, in respect of certain Post-Acquisition Receivables, payment to CIT of a base fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.20% of the gross face amount of such Post-Acquisition Receivables assigned to CIT for collection. CIT will generally assume the credit risk resulting from a customer’s financial inability to make payment with respect to certain credit approved Post-Acquisition Receivables. The Company or DMFA may terminate the Notification Factoring Rider, separately from the Factoring Agreement, by giving CIT at least 10 days’ prior written notice of termination. As with monies due and to become due under the Factoring Agreement generally, monies due and to become due to the Company and DMFA under the Notification Factoring Rider are pledged in favor of the Agent to secure obligations under or in connection with the Credit Agreement.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

($ in thousands, except for number of stores)

Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2023

Consolidated:

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased 17.6% to $523,553 compared to $445,302 in the same period of the prior year, due to increases in the Wholesale Accessories/Apparel, Direct-to-Consumer, and Wholesale Footwear segments. Gross profit was $217,129, or 41.5% of total revenue, as compared to $189,870, or 42.6% of total revenue, in the prior-year period. Gross profit in the 2024 period included $126 of expense in connection with the purchase accounting fair value adjustment of inventory from acquired businesses. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of total revenue was driven by the impact of the Almost Famous acquisition. Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2024 were $163,709, or 31.3% of total revenue, as compared to $145,830, or 32.7% of total revenue, in the second quarter of the prior year. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue was primarily attributable to expense leverage on a higher revenue base. The second quarter 2024 operating expenses included $958 due to acquisition costs and the formation of joint ventures. The 2023 operating expenses included $495 of expense related to certain severances and termination benefits. During the second quarter 2024, we also recorded an expense of $6,550 due to the change in valuation of a contingent payment liability. Income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased to $46,870, or 9.0% of total revenue, as compared to $44,040, or 9.9% of total revenue, in the prior-year period.

Wholesale Footwear revenue increased 0.9% compared to the same quarter of 2023 driven by growth in our private label business partially offset by softness in the branded business. Gross profit was $79,110, or 33.4% of Wholesale Footwear revenue, in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to $79,045, or 33.6% of Wholesale Footwear revenue, in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was due to a higher penetration of our private label business. Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2024 were $40,171, or 16.9% of Wholesale Footwear revenue, as compared to $35,319, or 15.0% of Wholesale Footwear revenue, in the second quarter of the prior year. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of Wholesale Footwear revenue was primarily attributable to increases in payroll and related expenses. The second quarter 2024 operating expenses included an expense of $865 due to acquisition costs and formation of joint ventures. Income from operations decreased to $38,939, or 16.4% of Wholesale Footwear revenue, in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to $43,726, or 18.6% of Wholesale Footwear revenue in the second quarter of the prior year.

Wholesale Accessories/Apparel revenue increased 86.0% compared to the same quarter of 2023 driven by the incremental revenue from the acquisition of Almost Famous, as well as strength in the Steve Madden handbag and apparel businesses. Gross profit was $48,444, or 32.7% of Wholesale Accessories/Apparel revenue, in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to $26,709, or 33.5% of Wholesale Accessories/Apparel revenue, in the second quarter of the prior year. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was due to the impact of the Almost Famous acquisition partially offset by gross margin expansion in our organic business. Gross profit in the 2024 period included $126 of expense in connection with the purchase accounting fair value adjustment of inventory from acquired businesses. Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2024 were $26,340, or 17.8% of Wholesale Accessories/Apparel revenue, as compared to $15,329, or 19.2% of Wholesale Accessories/Apparel revenue, in the second quarter of the prior year.

The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to a reduction in promotional activity.

Total revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased 18.3% to $1,075,934 compared to $909,136 in the same period of the prior year with increases in the Wholesale Accessories/Apparel, Wholesale Footwear, and Direct-to-Consumer segments. Gross profit was $441,944, or 41.1% of total revenue, as compared to $384,962, or 42.3% of total revenue, in the prior-year period. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of total revenue was primarily driven by the impact of the Almost Famous acquisition as well as the mix shift to the private label footwear business. Gross profit in the 2024 period included $333 of expense in connection with the purchase accounting fair value adjustment of inventory from acquired businesses. Operating expenses for the first six months of 2024 were $328,428, or 30.5% of total revenue, as compared to $294,411, or 32.4% of total revenue, in the first six months of the prior year. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue was primarily attributable to expense leverage on a higher revenue base. The first six months of 2024 operating expenses included an expense of $1,295 related to acquisition costs and the formation of joint ventures. The 2023 same period operating expenses included $1,676 of expense related to certain severances, termination benefits, and a corporate office relocation. In the 2024 period, we also recorded an expense of $8,200, due to the change in valuation of a contingent payment liability and a charge of $1,700 related to the impairment of an intangible. Income from operations increased to $103,616, or 9.6% of total revenue, as compared to income from operations of $90,551, or 10.0% of total revenue, in the prior-year period. The effective tax rate in the first six months of 2024 was 23.5% compared to 24.0% in the first six months of the prior year. Net income attributable to Steven Madden, Ltd. in the first six months of 2024 was $79,310 compared to $71,259 in the same period of 2023.

Wholesale Footwear Segment:

Revenue from the Wholesale Footwear segment in the first six months of 2024 accounted for $532,685, or 49.5% of total revenue, as compared to $517,229, or 56.9% of total revenue, in the first six months of 2023. Revenue increased 3.0% driven by growth in our private label business partially offset by softness in the branded business. Gross profit was $187,408, or 35.2% of Wholesale Footwear revenue, in the first six months of 2024 as compared to $186,567, or 36.1% of Wholesale Footwear revenue, in the first six months of 2023. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to higher penetration of our private label business. Operating expenses in the first six months of 2024 were $85,354, or 16.0% of Wholesale Footwear revenue, as compared to $80,785, or 15.6% of Wholesale Footwear revenue, in the first six months of the prior year. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of Wholesale Footwear revenue was primarily attributable to increases in payroll and related expenses. The first six months of 2024 operating expenses included an expense of $1,030 related to acquisition costs and the formation of joint ventures. Income from operations decreased to $102,054, or 19.2% of Wholesale Footwear revenue in the first six months of 2024 as compared to $105,782, or 20.5% of Wholesale Footwear revenue, in the same period of the prior year.

Wholesale Accessories/Apparel Segment:

Revenue from the Wholesale Accessories/Apparel segment in the first six months of 2024 accounted for $290,852, or 27.0% of total revenue, as compared to $159,540, or 17.5% of total revenue, in the first six months of 2023. Revenue increased 82.3% driven by the incremental revenue from the acquisition of Almost Famous, as well as strength in the Steve Madden handbag and apparel businesses. Gross profit was $93,594, or 32.2% of Wholesale Accessories/Apparel revenue, in the first six months of 2024 as compared to $53,224, or 33.4% of Wholesale Accessories/Apparel revenue, in the first six months of the prior year. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was due to the impact of the Almost Famous acquisition. Gross profit in the 2024 period included $333 of expense in connection with the purchase accounting fair value adjustment of inventory from acquired businesses. Operating expenses in the first six months of 2024 were $51,877, or 17.8% of Wholesale Accessories/Apparel revenue, as compared to $32,406, or 20.3% of Wholesale Accessories/Apparel revenue, in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of Wholesale Accessories/Apparel revenue was primarily attributable to expense leverage on a higher revenue base. In the 2024 period, we recorded an expense of $8,200, due to the change in valuation of a contingent payment liability. Income from operations for the Wholesale Accessories/Apparel segment in the first six months of 2024 was $33,517, or 11.5% of Wholesale Accessories/Apparel revenue, as compared to $20,818, or 13.0% of Wholesale Accessories/Apparel revenue, in the same period of the prior year.

32

Direct-to-Consumer Segment:

In the first six months of 2024, revenue from the Direct-to-Consumer segment accounted for $248,739, or 23.1% of total revenue, as compared to $227,805, or 25.1% of total revenue, in the first six months of 2023. Revenue increased 9.2% driven by increases in both our brick-and-mortar and e-commerce businesses. Gross profit in the first six months of 2024 was $157,284, or 63.2% of Direct-to-Consumer revenue, compared to $140,609, or 61.7% of Direct-to-Consumer revenue, in the first six months of 2023. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to a reduction in promotional activity. Operating expenses in the first six months of 2024 were $142,519, or 57.3% of Direct-to-Consumer revenue, as compared to $134,527, or 59.1% of Direct-to-Consumer revenue, in the first six months of 2023. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to expense leverage on a higher revenue base. In the 2024 period, we also recorded a charge of $1,700 related to the impairment of an intangible. In the first six months of 2024, income from operations for the Direct-to-Consumer segment was $13,065, or 5.3% of Direct-to-Consumer revenue, as compared to $6,082, or 2.7% of Direct-to-Consumer revenue, in the same period last year.

Licensing Segment:

Royalty income generated by the Licensing segment accounted for $3,658, or 0.4% of total revenue, in the first six months of 2024 compared to $4,562, or 0.5% of total revenue, in the first six months of 2023. Operating expenses decreased to $962 in the current period compared to $1,472 in the same period of the prior year. Income from the Licensing segment was $2,696 in the first six months of 2024 as compared to $3,090 in the same period last year.

Corporate:

Corporate does not constitute a reportable segment and includes costs not directly attributable to the segments. These costs are primarily related to expenses associated with corporate executives, corporate finance, corporate social responsibility, legal, human resources, information technology, cyber security, and other shared services. Corporate operating expenses amounted to $47,716 or 4.4% of total revenue in the first six months of 2024 as compared to $45,221 or 5.0% of total revenue in the same period last year.

33

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaled $192,218 and $219,813 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Of the total cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments as of June 30, 2024, $139,842, or approximately 73%, was held in our foreign subsidiaries, and of the total cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments on December 31, 2023, $134,745, or approximately 61%, was held in our foreign subsidiaries.

On July 22, 2020, we entered into a $150,000, five-year, asset-based revolving credit facility with various lenders and Citizens Bank, N.A (the “Credit Agreement”). On March 25, 2022, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement, which replaced the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) with the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index (“BSBY”) as the interest rate benchmark, among other changes. On April 3, 2023, we entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement, which reflects CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc. (“CIT”) as an additional receivables collection agent for us and certain guarantors. Further, on October 23, 2023, we entered into a third amendment to the Credit Agreement in order to accommodate certain changes made to our existing factoring arrangement with CIT.

As of June 30, 2024, we had working capital of $454,178, cash and cash equivalents of $180,457, short-term investments of $11,761, no cash borrowing, and $504 in letters of credit outstanding unrelated to the Credit Agreement.

We believe that based on our current financial position and available cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, we will meet all our financial commitments and operating needs for at least the next twelve months. In addition, our $150,000 asset-based revolving credit facility provides us with additional liquidity and flexibility on a long-term basis.

Cash Flows

A summary of our cash provided by and used in operating, investing, and financing activities was as follows:

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operations was $93,801 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $82,257 in the same period of the prior year. The increase in cash provided by operations was primarily driven by favorable changes in accounts payable and net income, partially offset by unfavorable changes in inventories and receivables.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $10,185 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which primarily consisted of purchases of $10,510 of short-term investments; capital expenditures of $9,272 for leasehold improvements, new stores, and systems enhancements; the acquisition of a hosiery business for $4,259 partially offset by $13,485 from the proceeds of sales of short-term investments.

Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash used in financing activities was $105,508, which primarily consisted of share repurchases and net settlements of stock awards of $75,549, as well as cash dividends paid of $30,708.

34

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2024 were as follows:

	Payment due by period
Contractual Obligations	Total		Remainder of 2024		2025-2026		2027-2028		2029 and after

(1) Refer to Note F – Leases to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for further information.

(2) Refer to Note M – Commitments, Contingencies and Other to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for further information.

Substantially all our products are produced by independent manufacturers at overseas locations, the majority of which are located in China, with a growing percentage located in Cambodia, Mexico, Vietnam, India, Italy, Brazil, Tunisia, and some other European and Asian countries. We have not entered into any long-term manufacturing or supply contracts with any of these foreign manufacturers. We believe that a sufficient number of alternative sources exist outside of the United States for the manufacture of our products. Purchases are made primarily in United States dollars.

As of the date of this report, we have employment agreements with our Founder and Creative and Design Chief, Steven Madden, and certain executive officers, which provide for the payment of compensation aggregating to approximately $5,344 through the remainder of 2024, $10,368 in 2025, $9,396 in 2026, $8,589 in 2027, $8,549 in 2028, $7,942 in 2029, and $7,746 in each of the years 2030 and 2031. In addition, some of these employment agreements provide for incentive compensation based on various performance criteria and some provide for discretionary bonuses as well as other benefits, including stock-based compensation.

Transition tax of $4,884 was the result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Tax Act"). Excluded from the contractual obligations table above are long-term taxes payable of $238 as of June 30, 2024 primarily related to an uncertain tax position, for which we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of payments in individual years beyond one year due to uncertainties in the timing and outcome of tax audits.

Dividends

On July 30, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend. The quarterly dividend of $0.21 per share is payable on September 23, 2024 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 13, 2024.

Future quarterly cash dividend payments are subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and contingent upon future earnings, our financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions, and other factors. Therefore, we can give no assurance that dividends will be paid to holders of our common stock in the future.

Inflation

Actual results could be negatively and materially impacted due to risks and uncertainties, including the impacts of inflationary pressures globally and the war in Ukraine, the war in the Middle East, and the related broader macroeconomic implications. Consumer spending has been and may continue to be negatively impacted by inflationary pressures, and other macroeconomic and geopolitical factors. All these factors have negatively impacted, and might continue to negatively impact, our direct sales to end consumers and our sales to our wholesale customers. Historically, we have minimized the impact of product, wages, and logistic cost increases by raising prices, renegotiating costs, changing suppliers, and improving operating efficiencies. However, no assurance can be given that we will be able to offset such inflationary cost increases in the future.

35

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In addition to the commitments included in the Contractual Obligations table above, we have outstanding letters of credit of $504 outstanding as of June 30, 2024 related to the purchase of inventory. These letters of credit expire at various dates through 2030.

We do not maintain any other off-balance sheet arrangements, transactions, obligations, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities that would be expected to have a material current or future effect on our consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note M – Commitments, Contingencies and Other to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for further information.

Critical Accounting Policies and the Use of Estimates

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and the use of estimates from the disclosures reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2024.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

($ in thousands)

Interest Rate Risk

We do not engage in the trading of market risk sensitive instruments in the normal course of business. Our financing arrangements are subject to variable interest rates, primarily based on the prime rate and the BSBY. The terms of our $150,000 asset-based revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) and our collection agency agreements with Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. and CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc. can be found in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of Item 2 and in Note O – Credit Agreement and Note P – Factoring Agreements, respectively, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report. Because we had no cash borrowings under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2024, a 10% change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, would have an immaterial effect on our reported interest expense.

As of June 30, 2024, we held short-term investments valued at $11,761, which consist of certificates of deposit. We have the ability to hold these investments until maturity.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We face market risk to the extent that our U.S. or foreign operations involve the transaction of business in foreign currencies. In addition, our inventory purchases are primarily done in foreign jurisdictions and inventory purchases may be impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the local currencies of our contract manufacturers, which could have the effect of increasing the cost of goods sold in the future. We manage these risks primarily by denominating these purchases in U.S. dollars. To mitigate the risk of purchases, that are denominated in foreign currencies, we may enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for terms of no more than two years. A description of our accounting policies for derivative financial instruments is included in Note L – Derivative Instruments to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2024, we had entered into forward foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $68,402. We performed a sensitivity analysis based on a model that measures the impact of a hypothetical change in foreign currency exchange rates to determine the effects that market risk exposures may have on the fair values of our forward foreign exchange contracts that were outstanding as of June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, a 10% increase or decrease of the U.S. dollar against the exchange rates for foreign currencies under forward foreign exchange contracts, with all other variables held constant, would result in a net increase or decrease in the fair value of our derivatives portfolio of approximately $40, which is immaterial to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In addition, we are exposed to translation risk in connection with our foreign operations in Canada, Mexico, Latin America, Europe, South Africa, China, Taiwan, Israel, Malaysia, and the Middle East because our subsidiaries and joint ventures in these countries utilize the local currency as their functional currency, and those financial results are translated into U.S. dollars. As currency exchange rates fluctuate, foreign currency exchange rate translation adjustments reflected in our financial statements with respect to our foreign operations affects the comparability of financial results between years.

36

Inflation Risk

Inflationary factors generally affect us by reducing consumer spending, increasing our labor and overhead costs, and negatively impacting our direct sales to end consumers and our sales to our wholesale customers, which may adversely affect our results of operations, and financial position. We have historically been able to minimize the impacts of inflation by raising prices, renegotiating costs, changing suppliers, and improving operating efficiencies. However, no assurance can be given that we will be able to offset such inflationary impacts in the future.

37

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were, as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report, effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated our internal controls over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the quarter covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In accordance with SEC guidance, our management's assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of Almost Famous, which we acquired in October 2023 and is included in the June 30, 2024 consolidated financial statements. The acquired business constituted 8.6% of consolidated total assets as of June 30, 2024 and 8.6% of consolidated total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Otherwise, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

38

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the ordinary course of business, we have various pending cases involving contractual disputes, employee-related matters, distribution matters, product liability claims, intellectual property infringement claims, and other matters. In the opinion of management, after consulting with legal counsel, the liabilities, if any, resulting from these legal proceedings should not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You are encouraged to review the discussion of Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors appearing in this report at Part I, “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 4, 2024 (the “2023 Form 10-K”) which could materially affect our business, financial condition, operating results, earnings, or stock price, in various ways. The risks described in the 2023 Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or operating results.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the 2023 Form 10-K.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

($ in thousands, except par value and per share data)

The following table presents the total number of shares of our common stock, $0.0001 par value, purchased by us in the three months ended June 30, 2024, the average price paid per share, the amount of shares purchased pursuant to our Share Repurchase Program and the approximate dollar value of the shares that still could have been purchased at the end of the fiscal period pursuant to our share repurchase program. See Note G – Share Repurchase Program to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on our Share Repurchase Program. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, there were no sales by us of unregistered shares of common stock.

(1) The Steven Madden, Ltd. 2019 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended, and its predecessor plan, the Steven Madden, Ltd. Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, each provide us with the right to deduct or withhold, or require employees to remit to us, an amount sufficient to satisfy all or part of the tax-withholding obligations applicable to stock-based compensation awards. To the extent permitted, participants may elect to satisfy all or part of such withholding obligations by tendering to us previously owned shares or by having us withhold shares having a fair market value equal to the minimum statutory tax-withholding rate that could be imposed on the transaction. Included in this table are shares withheld during the second quarter of 2024 in connection with the settlement of vested restricted stock to satisfy tax-withholding requirements with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1,436.

39

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) adopted, modified, or terminated any contract, instruction, or written plan for the purchase or sale of our securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Exchange Act or any non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as defined in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules).

Acqusitions

Almost Famous

On October 20, 2023, Daniel M. Friedman & Associates, Inc. (“Buyer”), a New York corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities (the “Business”) of Turn On Products Inc. d/b/a Almost Famous (“Seller” or “Almost Famous”), pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, by and among Buyer, the Company, Seller, and the holders of capital stock of Seller. Almost Famous is a designer and marketer of women’s junior apparel. Almost Famous distributes its products to wholesale customers, including mass merchants, department stores, off-price retailers, and chain stores within the United States. Almost Famous markets products under its own brands, primarily Almost Famous, as well as private label brands for various retailers. This Business was acquired for cash consideration of $73,228 and a future payment contingent on the Almost Famous business achieving certain earnings before interest and tax ("EBIT") targets. In connection therewith, we recorded an initial short-term liability of $3,325 and a long-term liability of $9,975 as of the date of acquisition to reflect the estimated fair value of the contingent purchase price. The fair value of the contingent payments liability was estimated on the date of acquisition using the risk neutral simulation method, which included significant unobservable Level 3 inputs, such as projected EBIT over the earn-out period and a discount rate of 20.3%. Changes in these significant unobservable inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The maximum consideration which can be paid over the consideration period of four years is $68,000 and there are no minimum payments required. The liability will be remeasured at each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. After the effect of closing adjustments, the total purchase price of the acquisition was $86,528.

The results of the Business have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition within the Wholesale Accessories/Apparel segment.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the October 20, 2023 acquisition date:

(in thousands)	Fair Value
Accounts receivable	$	1,394
Inventories	22,718
Factor accounts receivable	51,940

Operating leases - long-term portion	(2,703)
Total fair value excluding goodwill	$	75,591
Goodwill	10,937
Net assets acquired	$	86,528

(1) Consists of a Trademark of $9,050 and customer relationships of $23,900, both of which are amortized over 20 years.

The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with FASB Topic ASC 805 ("Business Combinations"), which requires that the total cost of an acquisition be allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values at the date of acquisition.

The Company recorded goodwill for the acquisition based on the amount by which the purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired, which consists largely of the synergies expected from the acquisitions. For tax purposes, goodwill will be amortized over a 15 year period.

Preliminary estimates of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to revision, which may result in adjustments to the preliminary values recorded during the measurement period (a period not to exceed 12 months from acquisition date).

The fair value of the trademark was estimated using the relief-from-royalty method, which presumes the owner of the asset avoids hypothetical royalty payments that would need to be made for the use of the asset if the asset was not owned. Key assumptions and estimates used are forecasted revenue, a royalty rate of 3.0%, and a discount rate of 21.8%. Such assumptions included significant unobservable inputs and changes in these significant unobservable inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The useful life of the trademark was estimated to be 20 years and amortization for the trademark has been recorded in operating expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

The fair value of the customer relationships was estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method. The excess earnings methodology is an income approach methodology that estimates the projected cash flows of the business attributable to the customer relationships, net of charges for the use of other identifiable assets of the business including working capital, fixed assets, and other intangible assets. Key assumptions and estimates used in deriving the projected cash flows are forecasted revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") margin of 8.8%, customer attrition rate of 5.0%, and discount rates in the range of 21.0% to 23.5%. Such assumptions include significant unobservable inputs and such

changes in these significant unobservable inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The useful life of the customer relationships was estimated to be 20 years and amortization for these intangible assets has been recorded in operating expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Transaction costs of $1,505 for the year ended December 31, 2023 have been recorded within operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Hosiery Business

On March 1, 2024 Daniel M. Friedman & Associates, Inc. acquired the Steve Madden and Betsey Johnson hosiery division ("hosiery business") of Gina Group LLC (“Gina”). Gina has been the exclusive licensee of the hosiery category for Steve Madden and Betsey Johnson brands and such license agreements were terminated in conjunction with the acquisition. The assets of the hosiery business were acquired for a cash consideration of $4,259 and the assets acquired included inventories of $2,168, reacquired rights of $1,450, and goodwill of $641.

The results of the business have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition within the Wholesale Accessories/Apparel segment.

Joint Ventures

On May 15, 2024, the Company, through its subsidiary, Madden Europe Holding BV, formed a joint venture ("SM Fashion d.o.o. Beograd") with Milija Babovic. The Company owns 50.01% interest in SM Fashion d.o.o. Beograd and paid an initial nominal contribution. SM Fashion d.o.o. is the exclusive distributor of the Company's products in various countries throughout Southeastern Europe. Since the Company has a controlling financial interest in the joint venture, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of SM Fashion d.o.o. Beograd are consolidated and included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The other member's interest is reflected in “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and “Noncontrolling interests” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company owns 51.0% interest in SM Distribution Latin America S. de R.L. and paid a contribution of $4,131. SM Distribution Latin America S. de R.L. is the exclusive distributor of the Company's products in various countries throughout Latin America.

Use of Estimates [Abstract]

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant areas involving management estimates include variable consideration included in revenue, allowances for bad debts, inventory valuation, and valuation of goodwill and intangible assets. The Company estimates variable consideration for future customer chargebacks and markdown allowances, discounts, returns, and other miscellaneous compliance-related deductions that relate to current-period sales. The Company evaluates anticipated chargebacks by reviewing several performance indicators of its major customers. These performance indicators, which include retailers’ inventory levels, sell-through rates, and gross margin levels, are analyzed by management to estimate the amount of the anticipated customer allowances.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

The accounting guidance under Accounting Standards Codification 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), requires the Company to make disclosures about the fair value of certain of its assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. ASC 820-10

utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. A brief description of those three levels is as follows:

•Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

•Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs; inputs to the valuation methodology based on unobservable prices or valuation techniques that are significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:

	June 30, 2024								December 31, 2023
	Fair value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Fair value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:

Total liabilities	$	21,749	$	—	$	249	$	21,500	$	15,204	$	—	$	1,904	$	13,300

(1) On June 30, 2024, $11,957 was recorded in Contingent payment liability - current portion and $9,543 was recorded in Contingent payment liability - long-term portion.

(2) On December 31, 2023, $3,325 was recorded in Contingent payment liability - current portion and $9,975 was recorded in Contingent payment liability - long-term portion.

Forward contracts are used to manage the risk associated with the volatility of future cash flows (see Note L – Derivative Instruments). Fair value of these instruments is based on observable market transactions of spot and forward rates.

The Company's recurring Level 3 balance consists of a contingent payment liability related to an acquisition. The changes in the Company's Level 3 liabilities for the periods ended June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:

	Balance at January 1, 2024		Acquisitions		Adjustments(1)		Balance at June 30, 2024
2024
Liabilities:
Contingent payment liability	$	13,300	$	—	$	8,200	$	21,500
2023	Balance at January 1, 2023		Acquisitions		Adjustments		Balance at December 31, 2023
Liabilities:
Contingent payment liability	$	—	$	13,300	$	—	$	13,300

(1) In 2024, amount consists of an adjustment of $8,200 that was included as an expense related to the change in valuation of the contingent payment liability in connection with the acquisition of Almost Famous. The adjustment was recorded in the Wholesale Accessories/Apparel segment.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the contingent payment liability was $21,500 and $13,300, respectively, in connection with the October 20, 2023 acquisition of Almost Famous. The fair value of the contingent payments was estimated using a risk neutral simulation method to model the probability of different financial results of Almost Famous during the earn-out period, utilizing a discount rate of 19.5% and 20.3% at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The change in valuation for the contingent payment liability was a result of updates to the forecasted operating results for the earn-out period.

The fair values of goodwill and intangibles are measured on a non-recurring basis and are determined using Level 3 inputs, including forecasted cash flows, discount rates, and implied royalty rates (see Note C – Acquisitions and Joint Ventures and Note K – Goodwill and Intangible Assets).

The fair values of lease right-of-use assets and fixed assets related to company-owned retail stores are measured on a non-recurring basis and are determined using Level 3 inputs, including estimated discounted future cash flows associated with the assets using sales trends, market rents and market participant assumptions (see Note F – Leases).

The carrying value of certain financial instruments such as cash equivalents, certificates of deposit, accounts receivable, factor accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of their underlying terms. Fair value of the notes receivable held by the Company approximates their carrying value based upon their imputed or actual interest rate, which approximates applicable current market interest rates. Some assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances (non-recurring). These assets can include long-lived assets that have been reduced to fair value when impaired. Assets that are written down to fair value when impaired are not subsequently adjusted to fair value unless further impairment occurs.

Leases (Notes)

Leases [Abstract]

Leases

Note F – Leases

The Company leases office space, sample production space, warehouses, showrooms, storage units, and retail stores pursuant to operating leases. The Company’s portfolio of leases is primarily related to real estate. Since most of its leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement.

Some of the Company’s retail store leases provide for variable lease payments based on sales volumes at the leased location, which are not measurable at the inception of the lease and are therefore not included in the measurement of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Under Topic 842, these variable lease costs are expensed as incurred.

Lease Position

The following table presents the lease-related assets and liabilities recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Net Income Per Share of Common Stock

6 Months Ended

Net Income Per Share of Common Stock [Abstract]

Net Income Per Share of Common Stock

Basic net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, which does not include unvested restricted common stock subject to forfeiture of 1,629 shares for the period ended June 30, 2024, compared to 2,145 shares for the period ended June 30, 2023. Diluted net income per share reflects: (a) the potential dilution assuming shares of common stock were issued upon the exercise of outstanding in-the-money options and the assumed proceeds, which are deemed to be the proceeds from the exercise plus compensation cost not yet recognized attributable to future services using the treasury method, were used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period, and (b) the vesting of granted non-vested restricted stock awards for which the assumed proceeds upon

vesting are deemed to be the amount of compensation cost not yet recognized attributable to future services using the treasury stock method, to the extent dilutive.

Diluted	72,004		74,883		72,430		75,361

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, options to purchase approximately 24 and 12 shares of common stock have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, options to purchase approximately 17 and 9 shares of common stock have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, 1 and 5 restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share, as compared to approximately 79 and 61 shares that were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, as the result would have been anti-dilutive. The Company had contingently issuable performance awards outstanding that did not meet the performance conditions as of June 30, 2024 and 2023 and, therefore, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The number of potentially dilutive shares that could be issued upon vesting for these performance awards were immaterial as of both June 30, 2024 and 2023. These amounts were also excluded from the computation of weighted average potentially dilutive securities.

Income Taxes

Note I – Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate, plus or minus discrete items. The following table presents the provision for income taxes and the effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Income before provision for income taxes	$	48,224	$	45,996	$	106,525	$	94,527
Income tax expense	$	11,276	$	10,923	$	25,015	$	22,668
Effective tax rate	23.4%		23.7%		23.5%		24.0%

The difference between the Company’s effective tax rates of 23.4% and 23.7% and 23.5% and 24.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, is primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax income in jurisdictions with higher tax rates.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain income tax positions in income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits, and interest and penalty expense are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. for federal, state, and local purposes, and in certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company's tax years 2020 through 2023 remain open to examination by most taxing authorities.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was signed into law, which contains certain revisions to the Internal Revenue Code, including a 15% corporate minimum income tax for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. While the 15% corporate minimum income tax has no effect on the Company’s results of operations in the near term, we will continue to evaluate its impact on future years. The IRA also assesses a 1% excise tax on repurchases of corporate stock which impacts the Company’s stock repurchases effective January 1, 2023. The excise tax is recorded as an incremental cost in treasury stock on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and was $331 and $598 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) has implemented the global minimum tax rate of at least 15% for large multinational companies as of 2024 (“Pillar Two”). Under Pillar Two, a top-up tax will be required for any jurisdiction who has enacted Pillar Two and whose effective tax rate falls below the 15% global minimum rate. Additionally, the OECD issued administrative guidance providing transition and safe harbor rules around the implementation of the Pillar Two global minimum tax. Under the safe harbor, companies would be excluded from Pillar Two requirements provided certain criteria are met. Based on preliminary analysis, the enactment of Pillar Two legislation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position. The Company will continue to monitor and reflect the impact of such legislative changes in future periods, as appropriate.

(3) Includes the effect of foreign currency translation related primarily to the movements of the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso in relation to the U.S. dollar.

The Company evaluates its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually in the beginning of the third quarter of each year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company also periodically performs a quantitative test to assess its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment in lieu of using the qualitative approach in order to reassess the fair values of its reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets. A quantitative assessment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets was performed as of July 1, 2023. In conducting the quantitative impairment assessments for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, the Company concluded that the fair values of its reporting units exceeded their carrying values and the fair values of its indefinite-lived intangibles exceeded their respective carrying values. In the fourth quarter of 2023, certain circumstances occurred that indicated potential impairment and the Company performed a valuation of the GREATS® trademark. The estimated fair value of this trademark was determined using an excess earnings method, incorporating the use of projected financial information and a discount rate of 14.8% which was developed using market participant based assumptions. Changes in these significant unobservable inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. As a result of this assessment, the GREATS® trademark was written down from the carrying value of $12,670 to its fair value of $6,150, resulting in a pre-tax non-cash impairment charge of $6,520. Subsequently, in the first quarter of 2024, circumstances occurred that caused a change in the estimated useful life of the GREATS® trademark from an indefinite life to an estimated useful life of 10 years, and as a result, the Company performed an impairment test. The estimated fair value of this trademark was determined using an excess earnings method, incorporating the use of projected financial information and a discount rate of 14.0% which was developed using market participant based assumptions. Changes in these significant unobservable inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. As a result of this assessment, the GREATS® trademark was written down from the carrying value of $6,150 to its fair value of $4,450, resulting in a pre-tax non-cash impairment charge of $1,700.

These impairment charges were recorded in impairment of intangibles in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and recognized in the Direct-to-Consumer segment.

A quantitative assessment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets was performed as of July 1, 2023. In conducting the quantitative impairment assessments for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, the Company concluded that the fair values of its reporting units exceeded their carrying values and the fair values of its indefinite-lived intangibles exceeded their respective carrying values. In conducting the qualitative impairment assessment for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair values of its reporting units exceeded their carrying values and the fair values of its indefinite-lived intangibles exceeded their respective carrying values. Therefore, in 2023, as a result of the annual test, no impairment charges were recorded for goodwill and intangibles.

The amortization of intangible assets amounted to $1,182 and $2,123 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $461 and $884 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and is included in operating expenses in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The estimated future amortization expense for intangibles as of June 30, 2024 was as follows:

2024 (remaining six months)	$	2,293
2025	4,586
2026	3,827

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

Debt Disclosure

On July 22, 2020, the Company entered into a $150,000 secured revolving credit agreement (as amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”) with various lenders and Citizens Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Agent”), which replaced the Company’s existing credit facility provided by Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. (“Rosenthal”). The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) scheduled to mature on July 22, 2025.

The initial $150,000 maximum availability under the Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base calculation consisting of certain eligible accounts receivable, credit card receivables, inventory, and in-transit inventory. Availability under the Credit Facility is reduced by outstanding letters of credit. The Company may from time-to-time increase the maximum availability under the Credit Agreement by up to $100,000 if certain conditions are satisfied.

On March 25, 2022, an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) replaced the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) with the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index (“BSBY”) as the interest rate benchmark. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement generally bear interest at a variable rate equal to a specified margin, which is based upon the average availability under the Credit Facility from time to time, plus, at the Company’s election (i) BSBY for the applicable interest period, or (ii) the base rate (which is the highest of (a) the prime rate announced by the Agent, (b) the sum of the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, and (c) the sum of the one-month BSBY rate plus 1.00%). Furthermore, the Amendment reduced the specified margin used to determine the interest rate under the Credit Agreement and reduced the commitment fee paid by the Company to the Agent, for the account of each lender. Additionally, the Amendment reduced the frequency of the Company’s borrowing base reporting requirements when no loans are outstanding. The Amendment also extended the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to March 20, 2027. As amended on April 3, 2023, on October 23, 2023, the Credit Agreement was further amended to accommodate changes made to the Company’s factoring arrangement with CIT pursuant to the Notification Factoring Rider as described in Note P – Factoring Agreements.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company must also pay (i) a commitment fee to the Agent, for the account of each lender, which accrues at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum on the average daily unused amount of the commitment of such lender, (ii) a letter of credit participation fee to the Agent, for the account of each lender, ranging from 1.25% to 2.50% per annum, based upon average availability under the Credit Facility from time to time, multiplied by the average daily amount available to be drawn under the applicable letter of credit, and (iii) a letter of credit fronting fee to each issuer of a letter of credit under the Credit Agreement, which will accrue at a rate per annum separately agreed upon between the Company and such issuer.

The Credit Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries. Among other requirements, availability under the Credit Facility must, at all times, (i) prior to the occurrence of the permanent borrowing base trigger (as defined in the Credit Agreement), equal or exceed the greater of $22,500 and 15% of the line cap (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and (ii) after the occurrence of the permanent borrowing base trigger, equal or exceed the greater of $15,000 and 10% of the line cap (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Other than this minimum availability requirement, the Credit Agreement does not include any financial maintenance covenants.

The Credit Agreement requires the Company and various subsidiaries of the Company to guarantee each other’s obligations arising from time to time under the Credit Facility, as well as obligations arising in respect of certain cash management and hedging transactions. Subject to customary exceptions and limitations, all borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by a lien on all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and each subsidiary guarantor.

The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. If an event of default under the Credit Agreement occurs and is continuing, then the Agent may, and at the request of the required lenders shall, terminate the loan commitments under the Credit Agreement, declare any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable, or require the Company to adequately cash collateralize outstanding letter of credit obligations. If the Company or, with certain exceptions, a subsidiary becomes the subject of a proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law, then the loan commitments under the Credit Agreement will automatically terminate, and any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement and the cash collateral required under the Credit Agreement for any outstanding letter of credit obligations will become immediately due and payable.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had no cash borrowings and no letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement

Receivables [Abstract]

Financing Receivables

In conjunction with the Credit Agreement described in Note O – Credit Agreement, on July 22, 2020, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Madden Entities”) entered into an Amended and Restated Deferred Purchase Factoring Agreement (the “Factoring Agreement”) with Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. ("Rosenthal"). Pursuant to the Factoring Agreement, Rosenthal serves as the collection agent with respect to certain receivables of the Madden Entities and is entitled to receive a base commission of 0.20% of the gross invoice amount of each receivable assigned for collection, plus certain additional fees and expenses, subject to certain minimum annual commissions. Rosenthal will generally assume the credit risk resulting from a customer’s financial inability to make payment of credit-approved receivables, which are classified as Factor Receivables. The initial term of the Factoring Agreement is twelve months, subject to automatic renewal for additional twelve-month periods, and the Factoring Agreement may be terminated at any time by Rosenthal or the Madden Entities on 60 days' notice and upon the occurrence of certain other events. The Madden Entities pledged all of their rights under the Factoring Agreement to the Agent under the Credit Agreement to secure obligations arising under the Credit Agreement.

On April 3, 2023, in conjunction with a related amendment to the Credit Agreement, the Madden Entities also entered into a Credit Approved Receivables Purchasing Agreement (the “CARPA”) with CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc. (“CIT”). Pursuant to the CARPA, in addition to Rosenthal, CIT will serve as a non-exclusive collection agent with respect to certain of the Madden Entities’ receivables and will generally assume the credit risk resulting from a customer’s financial inability to make payment with respect to credit approved receivables. Additionally, CIT shall compensate the Madden Entities for 50% of the losses sustained for limiting or revoking a credit line during production for any made-to-order goods that have work-in-progress coverage. For its services, CIT will be entitled to receive (1) a base fee of 0.15% of the gross face amount of each receivable assigned for collection having standard payment terms, (2) certain additional fees for receivables with non-standard payment terms or arising from sales to customers outside of the United States, and (3) reimbursement for certain expenses incurred in connection with the CARPA. The Company, on behalf of the Madden Entities, and CIT may each terminate the CARPA as of the last day of the month occurring one year after the date of the CARPA and at any time thereafter by giving the other party at least 60 days’ notice. CIT may also terminate the CARPA immediately upon the occurrence of certain events. The Madden Entities pledged all of their right, title, and interest in and to monies due and to become due under the CARPA in favor of the Agent to secure obligations arising under or in connection with the Credit Agreement.

On October 23, 2023, the Company and Daniel M. Friedman & Associates, Inc. (“DMFA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Notification Factoring Rider to the Credit Approved Receivables Purchasing Agreement (“Notification Factoring Rider”) that amended and supplemented the Factoring Agreement, dated April 3, 2023, among the Company, DMFA and certain of the Company’s other subsidiaries party thereto (collectively with the Company, the “Madden Entities”), and added CIT. The Notification Factoring Rider enables certain receivables generated from assets acquired by DMFA from Turn On Products Inc. d/b/a Almost Famous (“Post-Acquisition Receivables”), which assets were acquired by DMFA on October 20, 2023, to be subject to the Factoring Agreement.

The Notification Factoring Rider modifies the Factoring Agreement to require, in respect of certain Post-Acquisition Receivables, payment to CIT of a base fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.20% of the gross face amount of such Post-Acquisition Receivables assigned to CIT for collection. CIT will generally assume the credit risk resulting from a customer’s financial inability to make payment with respect to certain credit approved Post-Acquisition Receivables. The Company or DMFA may terminate the Notification Factoring Rider, separately from the Factoring Agreement, by giving CIT at least 10 days’ prior written notice of termination. As with monies due and to become due under the Factoring Agreement generally, monies due and to become due to the Company and DMFA under the Notification Factoring Rider are pledged in favor of the Agent to secure obligations under or in connection with the Credit Agreement.

(1) During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company acquired Almost Famous, which consisted of a trademark of $9,050 and customer relationships of $23,900, both of which are amortized over 20 years.

(2) During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded impairment charges of $6,520 related to the GREATS® trademark.

(3) Includes the effect of foreign currency translation related primarily to the movements of the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso in relation to the U.S. dollar.

The Company evaluates its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually in the beginning of the third quarter of each year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company also periodically performs a quantitative test to assess its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment in lieu of using the qualitative approach in order to reassess the fair values of its reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets. A quantitative assessment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets was performed as of July 1, 2023. In conducting the quantitative impairment assessments for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, the Company concluded that the fair values of its reporting units exceeded their carrying values and the fair values of its indefinite-lived intangibles exceeded their respective carrying values. In the fourth quarter of 2023, certain circumstances occurred that indicated potential impairment and the Company performed a valuation of the GREATS® trademark. The estimated fair value of this trademark was determined using an excess earnings method, incorporating the use of projected financial information and a discount rate of 14.8% which was developed using market participant based assumptions. Changes in these significant unobservable inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. As a result of this assessment, the GREATS® trademark was written down from the carrying value of $12,670 to its fair value of $6,150, resulting in a pre-tax non-cash impairment charge of $6,520. Subsequently, in the first quarter of 2024, circumstances occurred that caused a change in the estimated useful life of the GREATS® trademark from an indefinite life to an estimated useful life of 10 years, and as a result, the Company performed an impairment test. The estimated fair value of this trademark was determined using an excess earnings method, incorporating the use of projected financial information and a discount rate of 14.0% which was developed using market participant based assumptions. Changes in these significant unobservable inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. As a result of this assessment, the GREATS® trademark was written down from the carrying value of $6,150 to its fair value of $4,450, resulting in a pre-tax non-cash impairment charge of $1,700.

These impairment charges were recorded in impairment of intangibles in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and recognized in the Direct-to-Consumer segment.

A quantitative assessment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets was performed as of July 1, 2023. In conducting the quantitative impairment assessments for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, the Company concluded that the fair values of its reporting units exceeded their carrying values and the fair values of its indefinite-lived intangibles exceeded their respective carrying values. In conducting the qualitative impairment assessment for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair values of its reporting units exceeded their carrying values and the fair values of its indefinite-lived intangibles exceeded their respective carrying values. Therefore, in 2023, as a result of the annual test, no impairment charges were recorded for goodwill and intangibles.
