Rocky Brands, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2023 Results
NELSONVILLE, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Rocky Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCKY) today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Second Quarter 2023 Overview
- Net sales decreased 38.4% to $99.8 million, or $101.4 million on an adjusted basis
- Wholesale segment sales decreased 45.5%
- Retail segment revenue decreased 3.6%
- Gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased 440 basis points to 37.6%
- Operating income was $2.2 million, or $5.7 million on an adjusted basis
- Net loss was $2.7 million, or $0.37 per diluted share
- Inventories decreased 24.1% year-over-year
- Total debt at June 30, 2023 was down 22.1% compared with June 30, 2022
Jason Brooks, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said “For the second quarter in a row, our sell-through performance at several of our major wholesale accounts outpaced sell-in as retailers continue to work on aligning overall inventory levels with the current market environment. Consumer response to our brand portfolio remains solid with strong full price selling and recent price increases helping drive a 440-basis point improvement in gross margin. While our year-to-date results were more challenging than anticipated due in part to ongoing industry headwinds, we believe our business is positioned for improvement over the remainder of 2023 based on consumer demand for our products, our current order book and recent conversations with key wholesale partners about their plans for the second half of the year."
Second Quarter 2023 Review
Second quarter net sales decreased 38.4% to $99.8 million compared with $162.0 million in the second quarter of 2022. Wholesale segment sales for the second quarter decreased 45.5% to $71.5 million compared to $131.2 million for the same period in 2022. Retail segment sales for the second quarter decreased 3.6% to $25.1 million compared to $26.0 million for the same period last year. Contract Manufacturing segment sales, which include contract military sales and private label programs, were $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $4.9 million in the prior year period. The decrease in Contract Manufacturing segment sales was due to the expiration of certain contracts with the U.S. Military. Adjusted net sales, excluding returns associated with a supplier related dispute, decreased 37.4% to $101.4 million from the same period a year ago.
Gross margin in the second quarter of 2023 was $37.6 million, or 37.6% of net sales, compared to $53.8 million, or 33.2% of net sales, for the same period last year. The 440-basis point increase in gross margin as a percentage of net sales was driven by higher Wholesale segment gross margins from the realization of pricing actions taken in the second half of 2022, as well as decreases in in-bound logistics costs, and a higher mix of Retail segment sales which carry higher gross margins than the Wholesale and Contract Manufacturing segments.
Operating expenses were $35.4 million, or 35.4% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $48.2 million, or 29.7% of net sales, for the same period a year ago. Adjusted operating expenses were $33.6 million in the current year period after excluding $1.7 million of acquisition related amortization and restructuring costs in the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted operating expenses were $46.0 million in the year ago period after excluding $2.1 million of acquisition related amortization, integration expenses and restructuring costs in the second quarter of 2022. The decrease in operating expenses was driven primarily by a decrease in variable expenses associated with lower sales and improved distribution center efficiencies compared with the year ago period. As a percentage of adjusted net sales, adjusted operating expenses were 33.2% in the second quarter of 2023 compared with 28.4% in the year ago period.
Income from operations for the second quarter of 2023 was $2.2 million, or 2.2% of net sales compared to $5.6 million or 3.5% of net sales for the same period a year ago. Adjusted operating income for the second quarter of 2023 was $5.7 million, or 5.6% of adjusted net sales compared to adjusted operating income of $7.7 million, or 4.8% of net sales a year ago.
Interest expense for the second quarter of 2023 was $5.6 million compared with $4.3 million a year ago. The increase reflected increased interest rates on the senior term loan and credit facility.
The Company reported a second quarter 2023 net loss of $2.7 million, or $0.37 per diluted share compared to net income of $0.9 million, or $0.12 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2023 was $0.0 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $2.5 million, or $0.34 per diluted share in the year ago period.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to GAAP financial measures, we present the following non-GAAP financial measures: "non-GAAP adjusted net sales", "non-GAAP adjusted net cost of goods sold," "non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses," "non-GAAP adjusted operating income," "non-GAAP adjusted interest and other income," "non-GAAP adjusted net (loss) income," and "non-GAAP adjusted net (loss) income per share." Adjusted results exclude the impact of items that management believes affect the comparability or underlying business trends in our consolidated financial statements in the periods presented. We believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful to management and investors and other users of our consolidated financial statements as an additional tool for evaluating operating performance. We believe they also provide a useful baseline for analyzing trends in our operations.
Investors should not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. See "Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures" accompanying this press release.
Non-GAAP adjustment or measure |
Definition |
Usefulness to management and investors |
||
Returns relating to supplier dispute |
Returns relating to supplier dispute consist of returns on product produced by a manufacturing supplier. |
We excluded these returns for calculating certain non-GAAP measures because these returns are inconsistent in size with our normal course of business and are unique to the on-going dispute with the manufacturing supplier. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparison to past operating performance and provide investors with additional means to evaluate net sales trends. |
||
Supplier dispute inventory adjustment |
Supplier dispute inventory adjustment consists of an inventory adjustment to cost of goods sold for product produced by a manufacturing supplier. |
We excluded this inventory adjustment to cost of goods sold for calculating certain non-GAAP measures because this adjustment is noncustomary and is unique to the on-going dispute with the manufacturing supplier. This adjustment facilitates a useful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparison to past operating performance and provides investors with additional means to evaluate net cost of goods sold trends. |
||
Acquisition-related amortization |
Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets consists of amortization of intangible assets such as brands and customer relationships acquired in connection with the acquisition of the performance and lifestyle footwear business of Honeywell International Inc. Charges related to the amortization of these intangibles are recorded in operating expenses in our GAAP financial statements. Amortization charges are recorded over the estimated useful life of the related acquired intangible asset, and thus are generally recorded over multiple years. |
We excluded amortization charges for our acquisition-related intangible assets for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because these charges are inconsistent in size and are significantly impacted by the valuation of our acquisition. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparison to past operating performance and provide investors with additional means to evaluate cost and expense trends. |
||
Acquisition-related integration expenses |
Acquisition-related integration expenses are expenses including investment banking fees, legal fees, transaction fees, integration costs and consulting fees tied to the acquisition of the performance and lifestyle footwear business of Honeywell International Inc. |
We excluded acquisition-related expenses for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because the charges do not accurately reflect our current operating performance and comparisons to past operating results and provide investors with additional means to evaluate cost trends. |
||
Restructuring Costs |
Restructuring costs represent severance expenses associated with headcount reductions following the integration of the acquired performance and lifestyle footwear business of Honeywell International Inc in 2022 and the sale of Servus in 2023. |
We excluded restructuring costs for purposes of calculating non-GAAP measures because these costs do not reflect our current operating performance. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our current operations performance and comparisons to past operating results and provide investors with additional means to evaluate expense trends. |
||
Gain on Sale of Business |
Gain on sale of business relates to the sale of the brand Servus. This includes the disposal of non-financial assets and corresponding expenses relating to the sale of the brand along with assets held at our Rock Island manufacturing facility. |
We excluded the disposition of non-financial assets and related expenses for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because the gain does not accurately reflect our current operating performance and comparisons to past operating results and provide investors with additional means to evaluate cost trends. |
