SKECHERS U.S.A., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2009 and 2008
(Unaudited)
(1) GENERAL
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10
of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include certain footnotes and financial presentations
normally required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
for complete financial reporting. The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all
normal adjustments and accruals which are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary to
provide a fair presentation for the interim periods presented. The accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2008.
The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Noncontrolling interests
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, and amendment of ARB no.
51 (SFAS 160). The objective of SFAS 160 is to improve the relevance, comparability, and
transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated
financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling
interests in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Under the provisions of this
statement, the income statement presentation has been revised to separately present consolidated
net income, which now includes the amounts attributable to the Company, plus noncontrolling
interests and net income attributable solely to the Company. Noncontrolling interest, previously
referred to as minority interest, in the Companys consolidated financial statements results from
the accounting for a noncontrolling interest in a consolidated subsidiary or affiliate.
Noncontrolling interest represents partially-owned subsidiaries or consolidated affiliates
income, losses, and components of other comprehensive income (loss) which is attributable to the
noncontrolling parties interests. In addition, noncontrolling interests are considered a
component of equity for all periods presented. Noncontrolling interests were previously classified
within other long-term liabilities. Prior year presentations have been reclassified to conform
with these requirements.
The Company has a 50 percent interest in Skechers China Limited (Skechers China), a joint
venture which was formed in October 2007, and made a capital contribution of cash and inventory of
$3.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009. Our joint venture partner also made a
corresponding cash capital contribution during the six months ended June 30, 2009. The Company
also has a 50 percent interest in Skechers Southeast Asia Limited (Skechers Southeast Asia) and
Skechers (Thailand) Ltd. (Skechers Thailand). The Company consolidates these joint ventures into
its financial statements because it holds a majority of seats on the board of directors and, thus,
controls the joint ventures. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest of $0.7 million for the
6
three months ended June 30, 2009 and $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009
represents the share of net loss that is attributable to the equity of these joint ventures that is owned by our joint
venture partners. Transactions between these joint ventures and Skechers have been eliminated in
the consolidated financial statements.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB approved the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or the
Codification, as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles, or GAAP, in the United States. The Codification will be effective for interim and
annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Upon the effective date, the Codification will be
the single source of authoritative accounting principles to be applied by all nongovernmental
United States entities. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification will be
nonauthoritative. Adoption of this standard will change future authoritative accounting literature
references included in our financial statements to be in accordance with the Codification.
(2) INVESTMENTS
During the second quarter of 2009, Wachovia Securities purchased $95.3 million of the
Companys investments in auction rate preferred stocks and auction rate Dividend Received Deduction
(DRD) preferred securities at par for cash. At December 31, 2008, long-term investments were
$81.9 million net of unrealized losses of $13.7 million.
(3) REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue on wholesale sales when products are shipped and the customer
takes title and assumes risk of loss, collection of relevant receivable is reasonably assured,
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable. This
generally occurs at time of shipment. The Company recognizes revenue from retail sales at the point
of sale. Allowances for estimated returns, discounts, doubtful accounts and chargebacks are
provided for when related revenue is recorded. Related costs paid to third-party shipping companies
are recorded as a cost of sales.
Royalty income is earned from licensing arrangements. Upon signing a new licensing agreement,
we receive up-front fees, which are generally characterized as prepaid royalties. These fees are
initially deferred and recognized as revenue as earned (i.e., as licensed sales are reported to the
company or on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement). The first calculated royalty
payment is based on actual sales of the licensed product. Typically, at each quarter-end we receive
correspondence from our licensees indicating the actual sales for the period. This information is
used to calculate and accrue the related royalties based on the terms of the agreement.
(4) OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
In addition to net earnings (loss), other comprehensive income includes changes in foreign
currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities. The
Company operates internationally through several foreign subsidiaries. Assets and liabilities of
the foreign operations denominated in local currencies are translated at the rate of exchange at
the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted average rate of
exchange during the period of translation. The resulting translation adjustments along with the
translation adjustments related to intercompany loans of a long-term investment nature are included
in the translation adjustment in other comprehensive income.

(5) STOCK COMPENSATION
For stock-based awards we have recognized compensation expense based on the estimated grant
date fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which requires the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility, expected term and forfeiture
rate. Stock compensation expense was $0.6 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended June
30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Stock compensation expense was $1.2 million and $1.1 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Stock options granted pursuant to the 1998 Stock Option, Deferred Stock and Restricted Stock
Plan and the 2007 Incentive Award Plan (the Equity Incentive Plan) were as follows:

(6) EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share represents net earnings divided by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share, in addition to the
weighted average determined for basic earnings (loss) per share, includes potential common shares,
if dilutive, which would arise from the exercise of stock options and nonvested shares using the
treasury stock method.
Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were positively impacted by a $1.9 million
adjustment for a discrete tax item as discussed in Note 7, Income Taxes.

Options to purchase 993,742 and 156,016 shares of Class A common stock were not included in
the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008, respectively, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Options to purchase
995,742 and 156,016 shares of Class A common stock were not included in the computation of diluted
earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, because their
effect would have been anti-dilutive.
(7) INCOME TAXES
The Companys effective tax rate was 15.2% and 33.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2009
and 2008, respectively. The Companys effective tax rate was 159.9% and 33.6% for the six months
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The rate for the six months ended June 30, 2009 is
greater than the expected domestic rate of approximately 40% due to the inclusion of the $1.9
million discrete tax benefit adjusting the amount of tax benefit recognized in 2008 relating to the
Company entering into an advanced pricing agreement (APA) with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service
(IRS). Excluding this discrete item, the Companys effective tax rate for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 would have been (0.7%), which is lower than the expected domestic rate of
approximately 40% due to our non-U.S. subsidiary earnings in lower tax rate jurisdictions and our
planned permanent reinvestment of undistributed earnings from our non-U.S. subsidiaries, thereby
indefinitely postponing their repatriation to the United States. As such, the Company did not
provide for deferred income taxes on accumulated undistributed earnings of our non-U.S.
subsidiaries.
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, requires companies to
determine an estimated annual effective tax rate to apply to their interim pre-tax income or loss.
FASB Interpretations No. 18, Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods an interpretation of
APB No. 28, (FIN 18) provides that the estimated annual effective rate should be revised, if
necessary, to reflect the companys best current estimate as of the end of each successive interim
period during the year. If a reliable estimate cannot be made, the actual effective tax rate for
the year-to-date period may be the best estimate of the annual effective tax rate.
Given the current economic environment, estimating a reliable annual effective tax rate for
the Company has become increasingly difficult due to the uncertainty in forecasting taxable income
or loss for the year. Such forecasts may vary significantly from period to period and even small
changes in forecasts can result in significant changes in the Companys estimated annual effective
tax rate. Since forecasting an annual effective rate under these circumstances would not provide a
meaningful estimate, the Company believes that the actual year-to-date effective
9
tax rate is the best estimate of the annual tax rate in accordance with FIN 18. Excluding the tax benefit of $1.9
million related to the discrete item described above, the Companys income tax expense for the
six month period ended June 30, 2009 was eight thousand dollars, and has been calculated utilizing
the Companys actual effective tax rate for the six month period ended June 30, 2009.
Income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $1.2 million compared to an
income tax expense of $7.0 million for the same period in 2008. Income tax benefit for the six
months ended June 30, 2009 was $1.9 million compared to an income tax expense of $23.8 million for
the same period in 2008. The income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2009 includes
the $1.9 million discrete item discussed above.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state, local
and foreign jurisdictions. The Company has completed U.S. federal audits through 2003, and is not
currently under examination by the IRS; however the Company is under examination by a number of
states. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, settlements were reached with certain state tax
jurisdictions which reduced the balance of 2009 and prior year unrecognized tax benefits by $0.5
million. It is reasonably possible that most or all of the remaining examinations could be settled
within the next twelve months, which would reduce the remaining balance of 2009 and prior year
unrecognized tax benefits by $1.6 million.
(8) LINE OF CREDIT AND SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
On June 30, 2009, the Company entered into a $250 million secured credit agreement with a
group of eight banks that replaced the existing $150 million credit agreement. The new credit
facility matures in June 2013. The credit agreement permits the Company and certain of its
subsidiaries to borrow up to $250 million based upon a borrowing base of eligible accounts
receivable and inventory, which amount can be increased to $300 million at the Companys request
and upon satisfaction of certain conditions including obtaining the commitment of existing or
prospective lenders willing to provide the incremental amount. Borrowings bear interest at the
borrowers election based on LIBOR or a Base Rate (defined as the greatest of the base LIBOR plus
1.00%, the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% or one of the lenders prime rate), in each case, plus an
applicable margin based on the average daily principal balance of revolving loans under the credit
agreement (2.75% to 3.25% for Base Rate Loans and 3.75% to 4.25% for Libor Rate Loans). The
Company pays a monthly unused line of credit fee between 0.5% and 1.0% per annum, which varies
based on the average daily principal balance of outstanding revolving loans and undrawn amounts of
letters of credit outstanding during such month. The credit agreement further provides for a limit
on the issuance of letters of credit to a maximum of $50 million. The credit agreement contains
customary affirmative and negative covenants for secured credit facilities of this type, including
a fixed charges coverage ratio that applies when excess availability is less than $50 million. In
addition, the credit agreement places limits on additional indebtedness that the Company is
permitted to incur as well as other restrictions on certain transactions. The Company and its
subsidiaries were in compliance with all of the covenants of the credit agreement at June 30, 2009.
The Company and its subsidiaries had $2.1 million of outstanding letters of credit and short-term
borrowings of $0.6 million as of June 30, 2009. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the
Company paid syndication and commitment fees of $5.5 million on this facility which are being
amortized over the four year life of the facility.
The global economic recession and related credit crisis has affected certain lenders under the
new credit facility, although none have filed for bankruptcy. For example, recently there have
been indications that one of the existing lenders under the credit facility, CIT Group, Inc.
(CIT), may file for bankruptcy. CIT has committed to fund $27.5 million towards the credit
facility, all of which currently remains unfunded. If CIT files for bankruptcy, the Company
believes that it is unlikely that CIT will continue to provide its proportionate share under the
new credit facility.
(9) STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
No shares of Class B common stock were converted into shares of Class A common stock during
the three months ended June 30, 2009. Certain Class B stockholders converted 50,000 shares of
Class B common stock into an equivalent number of shares of Class A common stock during the three
months ended June 30, 2008. Certain
10
Class B stockholders converted 43,902 and 50,000 shares of
Class B common stock into an equivalent number of shares of Class A common stock during the six
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Prior year amounts related to noncontrolling interest (previously referred to as minority
interest) have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation as required by SFAS
160.

(10) SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC REPORTING INFORMATION
We have four reportable segments domestic wholesale sales, international wholesale sales,
retail sales, and e-commerce sales. Management evaluates segment performance based primarily on
net sales and gross profit. All other costs and expenses of the Company are analyzed on an
aggregate basis, and these costs are not allocated to the Companys segments. Net sales, gross
profit and identifiable assets for the domestic wholesale segment, international wholesale, retail,
and the e-commerce segment on a combined basis were as follows (in thousands):

The Company has subsidiaries in Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Italy,
Netherlands, Brazil, Chile and joint ventures in China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and
Thailand that generate net sales within those respective countries and in some cases the
neighboring regions. The Company also has a subsidiary in Switzerland that generates net
sales from that country in addition to net sales to our distributors located in numerous
non-European countries. Net sales are attributable to geographic regions based on the location
of the Company subsidiary. |

(11) BUSINESS AND CREDIT CONCENTRATIONS
The Company generates the majority of its sales in the United States; however, several of its
products are sold into various foreign countries, which subjects the Company to the risks of doing
business abroad. In addition, the Company operates in the footwear industry, which is impacted by
the general economy, and its business depends on the general economic environment and levels of
consumer spending. Changes in the marketplace may significantly affect managements estimates and
the Companys performance. Management performs regular evaluations concerning the ability of
customers to satisfy their obligations and provides for estimated doubtful accounts. Domestic
accounts receivable, which generally do not require collateral from customers, were equal to $124.9
million and $111.9 million before allowances for bad debts, sales returns and chargebacks at June
30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Foreign accounts receivable, which generally are
collateralized by letters of credit, were equal to $80.7 million and $78.1 million before allowance
for bad debts, sales returns and chargebacks at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
Net sales to customers in the U.S. exceeded 70% of total net sales for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Assets located outside the U.S. consist primarily of cash,
accounts receivable, inventory, property
12
and equipment, and other assets. Net assets held outside the United States were $101.2
million and $120.5 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
The Companys net sales to its five largest customers accounted for approximately 29.1% and
25.2% of total net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The
Companys net sales to its five largest customers accounted for approximately 25.6% and 25.1% of
total net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. One customer
accounted for 10.9% of our net sales during the three months ended June 30, 2009. No customer
accounted for more than 10% of our net sales during the six months ended June 30, 2009 or 2008,
respectively. One customer accounted for 14.4% and 10.5% of our outstanding accounts receivable
balance at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and another customer accounted for 10.0% of our
outstanding accounts receivable at June 30, 2009. No other customer accounted more than 10% of our
outstanding accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2008.

The majority of the Companys products are produced in China. The Companys operations are
subject to the customary risks of doing business abroad, including, but not limited to, currency
fluctuations and revaluations, custom duties and related fees, various import controls and other
monetary barriers, restrictions on the transfer of funds, labor unrest and strikes and, in certain
parts of the world, political instability. The Company believes it has acted to reduce these risks
by diversifying manufacturing among various factories. To date, these business risks have not had a
material adverse impact on the Companys operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes thereto in Item 1 of this document.
We intend for this discussion to provide the reader with information that will assist in
understanding our financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial
statements from period to period, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well
as how certain accounting principles affect our financial statements. The discussion also provides
information about the financial results of the various segments of our business to provide a better
understanding of how those segments and their results affect the financial condition and results of
operations of our company as a whole.
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements made pursuant to the
safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which can be
identified by the use of forward-looking language such as intend, may, will, believe,
expect, anticipate or other comparable terms. These forward-looking statements involve risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in
forward-looking statements, and reported results shall not be considered an indication of our
companys future performance. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include:
|
|
|
international, national and local general economic, political and market conditions
including the recent global economic slowdown and financial crisis; |
|
|
|
|
sustaining, managing and forecasting our costs and proper inventory levels; |
|
|
|
|
losing any significant customers, decreased demand by industry retailers and
cancellation of order commitments due to the lack of popularity of particular designs
and/or categories of our products; |
|
|
|
|
maintaining our brand image and intense competition among sellers of footwear for
consumers; |
|
|
|
|
anticipating, identifying, interpreting or forecasting changes in fashion trends,
consumer demand for the products and the various market factors described above; |
|
|
|
|
sales levels during the spring, back-to-school and holiday selling seasons; and |
|
|
|
|
other factors referenced or incorporated by reference in our companys annual report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. |
The risks included here are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report may include
additional factors that could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of
operations. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk
factors emerge from time to time and we cannot predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the
impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor or combination of
factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. Investors should also be aware that
while we do, from time to time, communicate with securities analysts, we do not disclose any
material non-public information or other confidential commercial information to them. Accordingly,
individuals should not assume that we agree with any statement or report issued by any analyst,
regardless of the content of the report. Thus, to the extent that reports issued by securities
analysts contain any projections, forecasts or opinions, such reports are not our responsibility.
FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
We have four reportable segments domestic wholesale sales, international wholesale sales,
retail sales, which includes domestic and international retail sales, and e-commerce sales. We
evaluate segment performance based primarily on net sales and gross margins. The largest portion
of our revenue is derived from the domestic wholesale segment. During the second quarter the weak
retail environment continued to negatively impact our domestic and international business. Net
loss for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $5.9 million, or $0.13 loss per diluted share.

As of June 30, 2009 we owned 215 domestic retail stores and 24 international retail stores,
and we have established our presence in most of what we believe to be the major domestic retail
markets. During the first six months of 2009, we opened three domestic concept stores, nine
domestic outlet stores and one international outlet store and we closed two domestic concept
stores. In addition, we acquired ten international concept stores from one of our distributors and
contributed six other international concept stores to a new joint venture. During the remainder of
2009, we intend to focus on: (i) enhancing the efficiency of our operations by managing our
inventory and reducing expenses, (ii) increasing our international customer base, (iii) increasing
the product count of all customers by delivering trend-right styles at reasonable prices, and (iv)
continuing to pursue opportunistic retail store locations. We periodically review all of our
stores for impairment, and we carefully review our under-performing stores and may consider the
non-renewal of leases upon completion of the current applicable lease term.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008
Net sales
Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $299.0 million, a decrease of $55.6
million or 15.7%, as compared to net sales of $354.6 million for the three months ended June 30,
2008. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to lower sales in our domestic wholesale and
international wholesale segments.
Our domestic wholesale net sales decreased $40.5 million, or 20.1%, to $160.9 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2009, from $201.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
The largest decreases in our domestic wholesale segment came in our Womens Active and Mens USA
divisions. The average selling price per pair within the domestic wholesale segment was $18.91 per
pair for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $18.93 per pair for the same period last
year. The decrease in the domestic wholesale segments net sales came on a 19.8% unit sales volume
decrease to 8.5 million pairs from 10.6 million pairs for the same period in 2008.
Our international wholesale segment net sales decreased $16.0 million, or 20.6%, to $61.5
million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $77.5 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2008. Our international wholesale sales consist of direct subsidiary sales those
sales we make to department stores and specialty retailers and sales to our distributors who in
turn sell to retailers in various international regions where we do not sell direct. Direct
subsidiary sales decreased $6.2 million, or 13.8%, to $38.9 million for the three months ended June
30, 2009 compared to net sales of $45.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The
largest sales decreases during the quarter came from our subsidiaries in Canada and the United
Kingdom. Our distributor sales decreased $9.8 million to $22.6 million, or 30.1%, for the three
months ended June 30, 2009, compared to sales of $32.4 million for the three months ended June 30,
2008. This was primarily due to decreased sales to our distributors in Russia, Dubai, and Japan as
well as the purchase and conversion of our Chilean distributor to a subsidiary, effective June 1,
2009.
Our retail segment sales increased $1.1 million to $72.3 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2009, a 1.5% increase over sales of $71.2 million for the three months ended June 30,
2008. The increase in retail sales was due to a net increase of 32 stores partially offset by
negative comparable store sales (i.e. those open at least one year). For the three months ended
June 30, 2009, we realized negative comparable store sales of 6.4% in our domestic retail stores
and 25.4% in our international retail stores due to the challenging retail environment and
unfavorable currency translations. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we opened five new
domestic stores. Our new domestic store additions consisted of one concept store and four outlet
stores. In addition, we acquired ten international concept stores from one of our distributors.
Despite negative comparable store sales, our domestic retail sales increased 1.8% for the three
months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 due to a net increase of 25 stores.
Our international retail sales decreased 0.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to
the same period in 2008, attributable to decreased comparable store sales and unfavorable currency
translations.
Our e-commerce sales decreased $0.2 million, or 3.9%, to $4.3 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2009 from $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, primarily due to
the challenging retail environment. Our e-commerce sales made up approximately 1% of our
consolidated net sales for each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
Gross profit
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased $34.6 million to $122.6
million as compared to $157.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales, or gross margin, decreased to 41.0% for the three months ended June 30,
2009 from 44.3% for the same period in the prior year. Our domestic wholesale segment gross profit
decreased $20.0 million, or 26.4%, to $55.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009
compared to $75.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Domestic wholesale margins
decreased to 34.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from 37.7% for the same period in the
prior year. The decrease in domestic wholesale margins was due to higher closeouts, product mix
changes and continued
16
price pressure resulting from the weak U.S. retail environment, particularly in the first part
of the quarter as we continued to manage excess inventory levels.
Gross profit for our international wholesale segment decreased $14.0 million, or 40.9%, to
$20.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $34.3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2008. Gross margins were 33.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2009
compared to 44.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in gross margins for our
international wholesale segment was due to weaker retail environments abroad and unfavorable
currency translations. International wholesale sales through our foreign subsidiaries achieved
higher gross margins than our international wholesale sales through our foreign distributors.
Gross margins for our direct subsidiary sales were 37.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2009
as compared to 54.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Gross margins for our distributor
sales were 25.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to 29.6% for the three months
ended June 30, 2008.
Gross profit for our retail segment decreased $0.7 million, or 1.5%, to $44.1 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $44.8 million for the three months ended June 30,
2008. Gross margins for all stores were 61.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared
to 62.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Gross margins for our domestic stores were
61.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to 62.4% for the three months ended June
30, 2008. The decrease in domestic retail margins was due to higher closeouts, product mix changes
and continued price pressure resulting from the weak U.S. retail environment. Gross margins for
our international stores were 59.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to 66.8%
for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in international retail margins was due to
weaker retail environments abroad and unfavorable currency translations.
Our cost of sales includes the cost of footwear purchased from our manufacturers, royalties,
duties, quota costs, inbound freight (including ocean, air and freight from the dock to our
distribution centers), broker fees and storage costs. Because we include expenses related to our
distribution network in general and administrative expenses while some of our competitors may
include expenses of this type in cost of sales, our gross margins may not be comparable, and we may
report higher gross margins than some of our competitors in part for this reason.
Selling expenses
Selling expenses decreased by $3.8 million, or 9.8%, to $34.8 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2009 from $38.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. As a percentage
of net sales, selling expenses were 11.6% and 10.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008, respectively. The decrease in selling expenses was primarily due to decreased advertising
and promotional costs of $3.2 million.
Selling expenses consist primarily of sales representative sample costs, sales commissions,
trade shows, advertising and promotional costs, which may include television, print ads, ad
production costs and point-of-purchase (POP) costs.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased by $3.1 million, or 3.0%, to $95.8 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $98.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses were 32.1% and 27.9% for the three
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative
expenses was primarily due to reduced temporary help costs of $2.6 million, decreased warehouse and
distribution costs of $1.7 million, and decreased bad debt expense of $1.5 million, partially
offset by higher rent expense of $2.6 million as a result of an additional 32 stores from the prior
year. In addition, the expenses related to our distribution network, including the functions of
purchasing, receiving, inspecting, allocating, warehousing and packaging of our products totaled
$22.3 million and $27.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The $5.4 million decrease was primarily due to reduced sales volumes.
17
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of the following: salaries, wages and
related taxes and various overhead costs associated with our corporate staff, stock-based
compensation, domestic and international retail store operations, non-selling-related costs of our
international operations, costs associated with our domestic and European distribution centers,
professional fees related to legal, consulting and accounting, insurance, depreciation and
amortization, and expenses related to our distribution network, which includes the functions of
purchasing, receiving, inspecting, allocating, warehousing and packaging our products. These costs
are included in general and administrative expenses and are not allocated to segments.
Interest income
Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased $1.2 million to $0.6
million compared to $1.8 million for the same period in 2008. The decrease in interest income
resulted from lower interest rates for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the same
period in 2008.
Interest expense
Interest expense was $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $1.3
million for the same period in 2008. The decrease was due to reduced interest paid to our foreign
manufacturers and increased capitalized interest on our new corporate headquarters and the
warehouse equipment for our new distribution center. Interest expense was incurred on our
mortgages for our domestic distribution center and our corporate office located in Manhattan Beach,
California, and on amounts owed to our foreign manufacturers.
Income taxes
Our effective tax rate was 15.2% and 33.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. Income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $1.2 million
compared to an income tax expense of $7.0 million for the same period in 2008. The rate for the
three months ended June 30, 2009 is lower than the expected domestic rate of approximately 40% due
to our non-U.S. subsidiary earnings in lower tax rate jurisdictions and our planned permanent
reinvestment of undistributed earnings from our non-U.S. subsidiaries, thereby indefinitely
postponing their repatriation to the United States. As such, we did not provide for deferred income
taxes on accumulated undistributed earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries.
Given the current economic environment, estimating a reliable annual effective tax rate has
become increasingly difficult due to the uncertainty in forecasting taxable income or loss for the
year. Such forecasts may vary significantly from period to period and even small changes in
forecasts can result in significant changes in our estimated annual effective tax rate. Since
forecasting an annual effective rate, under these circumstances, would not provide a meaningful
estimate we believe that the actual year-to-date effective tax rate is the best estimate of the
annual tax rate in accordance with FIN 18. Our income tax benefit has been calculated utilizing our
actual effective tax rate for the six month period ended June 30, 2009.
Noncontrolling interest in net loss of consolidated subsidiaries
Noncontrolling interest for the three months ended June 30, 2009 increased $0.3 million to
$0.7 million compared to $0.4 million for the same period in 2008. Noncontrolling interest
represents the share of net loss that is attributable to our joint venture partners based on their
investments in Skechers China, Skechers Southeast Asia and Skechers Thailand.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008
Net sales
Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $642.4 million, a decrease of $97.1
million or 13.1%, from net sales of $739.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The
decrease in net sales was primarily due to lower sales in our domestic wholesale and international
wholesale segments.
18
Our domestic wholesale net sales decreased $80.8 million, or 19.1%, to $341.4 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2009, from $422.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The
largest decreases in our domestic wholesale segment came in our Womens Active and Cali Gear
divisions. The average selling price per pair within the domestic wholesale segment decreased to
$17.92 per pair for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $18.50 per pair in the same period last
year. The decrease in domestic wholesale segment net sales came on a 16.8% unit sales volume
decrease to 19.1 million pairs from 22.9 million pairs for the same period in 2008.
Our international wholesale segment net sales decreased $16.0 million, or 9.0%, to $161.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $177.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008. Direct subsidiary sales decreased $10.3 million, or 8.6%, to $108.9 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to net sales of $119.2 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008. The largest sales decreases during the six months ended June 30, 2009 came from our
subsidiaries in Canada and the United Kingdom. Our distributor sales decreased $5.7 million to
$52.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a 9.8% decrease from sales of $57.8 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This was primarily due to decreased sales to our
distributor in Russia as well as the purchase and conversion of our Chilean distributor to a
subsidiary, effective June 1, 2009.
Our retail segment sales increased $0.6 million to $132.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2009, a 0.4% increase over sales of $131.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
The increase in retail sales was due to a net increase of 32 stores partially offset by negative
comparable store sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we realized negative comparable
store sales of 6.6% in our domestic retail stores and 26.6% in our international retail stores due
to the challenging retail environment and unfavorable currency translations. During the six
months ended June 30, 2009, we opened 12 new domestic stores, one new international outlet store
and closed two domestic concept stores. Our new domestic store additions consisted of three
concept stores and nine outlet stores. In addition, we acquired ten international concept stores
from one of our distributors and contributed six other international concept stores to a new joint
venture. Despite negative comparable store sales, our domestic retail sales increased 1.8% for the
six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 due to a net increase of 25
stores. Our international retail sales decreased 12.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2009
compared to the same period in 2008, attributable to decreased comparable store sales and
unfavorable currency translations.
Our e-commerce sales decreased $0.9 million, or 10.1%, to $7.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2009 from $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily due to the
challenging retail environment. Our e-commerce sales made up approximately 1% of our consolidated
net sales for each of the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
Gross profit
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased $81.4 million to $248.0 million
as compared to $329.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Gross margin decreased to
38.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from 44.5% for the same period in the prior year. Our
domestic wholesale segment gross profit decreased $51.7 million, or 31.5%, to $112.4 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $164.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
2008. Domestic wholesale margins decreased to 32.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from
38.9% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in domestic wholesale margins was due to
higher closeouts, product mix changes and continued price pressure resulting from the weak U.S.
retail environment.
Gross profit for our international wholesale segment decreased $26.4 million, or 32.9%, to
$53.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $80.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2008. Gross margins were 33.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to
45.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in gross margins for our international
wholesale segment was due to weaker retail environments abroad and unfavorable currency
translations. Gross margins for our direct subsidiary sales were 36.5% for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 as compared to 53.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Gross margins for our
19
distributor sales were 27.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to 29.5% for the
six-months ended June 30, 2008.
Gross profit for our retail segment decreased $3.1 million, or 3.9%, to $77.7 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $80.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Gross margins for all stores were 58.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to
61.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Gross margins for our domestic stores were 59.0% for
the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to 61.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
The decrease in domestic retail margins was due to higher closeouts, product mix changes and
continued price pressure resulting from the weak U.S. retail environment. Gross margins for our
international stores were 55.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to 61.8% for the
six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in international retail margins was due to weaker
retail environments abroad and unfavorable currency translations.
Selling expenses
Selling expenses decreased by $7.8 million, or 12.2%, to $56.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2009 from $64.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. As a percentage of
net sales, selling expenses were 8.8% and 8.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. The decrease in selling expenses was primarily due to decreased advertising costs of
$6.0 million.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased by $4.2 million, or 2.1%, to $193.9 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $198.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. As
a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses were 30.1% and 26.8% for the six months
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses
was primarily due to decreased bad debt expense of $3.0 million, decreased warehouse and
distribution costs of $2.5 million, reduced temporary help costs of $1.4 million, and lower travel
and entertainment costs of $1.2 million, partially offset by higher rent expense of $4.1 million as
a result of an additional 32 stores from the prior year. In addition, the expenses related to our
distribution network, including the functions of purchasing, receiving, inspecting, allocating,
warehousing and packaging of our products totaled $54.1 million and $58.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The $4.3 million decrease was due to reduced
sales volumes.
Interest income
Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased $3.0 million to $1.3 million
compared to $4.3 million for the same period in 2008. The decrease in interest income resulted
from lower interest rates for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in
2008.
Interest expense
Interest expense was $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $2.4
million for the same period in 2008. The decrease was due to reduced interest paid to our foreign
manufacturers and increased capitalized interest on our new corporate headquarters and the
warehouse equipment for our new distribution center.
Income taxes
Our effective tax rate was 159.9% and 33.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. Income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $1.9 million compared
to an income tax expense of $23.8 million for the same period in 2008. The income tax benefit for
the six months ended June 30, 2009 includes a $1.9 million discrete item adjusting the amount of
tax benefit recognized in 2008 relating to the APA with the IRS. The rate for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 is greater than the expected domestic rate of approximately 40% due to the inclusion
of the $1.9 million discrete tax benefit discussed above. Excluding this discrete item, our
effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2009 would have been (0.7%), which is lower
than the expected
20
domestic rate of approximately 40% due to our non-U.S. subsidiary earnings in
lower tax rate jurisdictions and our planned permanent reinvestment of undistributed earnings from
our non-U.S. subsidiaries, thereby indefinitely postponing their repatriation to the United States.
As such, we did not provide for deferred income taxes on accumulated undistributed earnings of our
non-U.S. subsidiaries.
Given the current economic environment, estimating a reliable annual effective tax rate has
become increasingly difficult due to the uncertainty in forecasting taxable income or loss for the
year. Such forecasts may vary significantly from period to period and even small changes in
forecasts can result in significant changes in our estimated annual effective tax rate. Since
forecasting an annual effective rate, under these circumstances, would not provide a meaningful
estimate we believe that the actual year-to-date effective tax rate is the best estimate of the
annual tax rate in accordance with FIN 18. Excluding the tax benefit of $1.9 million related to the
discrete item described above, our income tax expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2009
was eight thousand dollars, and has been calculated utilizing our actual effective tax rate for the
six month period ended June 30, 2009.
Noncontrolling interest in net loss of consolidated subsidiaries
Noncontrolling interest for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased $1.2 million to $1.6
million compared to $0.4 million for the same period in 2008.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our working capital at June 30, 2009 was $500.6 million, an increase of $86.8 million from
working capital of $413.8 million at December 31, 2008. Our cash and cash equivalents at June 30,
2009 were $257.0 million compared to $114.9 million at December 31, 2008. The increase in cash and
cash equivalents of $142.1 million was primarily the result of the redemption of our investments in
auction rate securities of $95.3 million and decreased inventory levels of $71.2 million, partially
offset by capital expenditures of $26.9 million.
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net cash provided by operating activities was $68.3
million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $26.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008. The increase in our operating cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2009,
when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008 was primarily the result of reduced inventory
levels and a smaller increase in accounts receivable due to lower sales, partially offset by lower
net earnings.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $68.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
2009 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $33.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008. In June 2009, Wachovia Securities redeemed our investments in auction rate
preferred stocks and auction rate DRD preferred securities at par for cash, which was the primary
reason for the increase in our cash flows from investing activities. Capital expenditures for the
six months ended June 30, 2009 were approximately $26.9 million, which primarily consisted of
warehouse equipment for our new distribution center and new store openings and remodels. This
compared to capital expenditures of $37.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, which
primarily consisted of a corporate real property purchase, new store openings and remodels, and
warehouse equipment upgrades. Excluding the costs of our new distribution center, we expect our
ongoing capital expenditures for the remainder of 2009 to be approximately $5 million to $10
million, which includes opening an additional six to ten domestic retail stores, store remodels and
tenant improvements in our new corporate facility. We are currently in the process of designing
and purchasing the equipment to be used in our new distribution center and estimate the cost of
this equipment to be approximately $85.0 million, of which $38.1 million was incurred as of June
30, 2009. We expect to spend the remaining balance in 2010.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $4.4 million during the six months ended June
30, 2009 compared to $5.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in cash
provided by financing activities was due to lower proceeds from the issuance of Class A common
stock upon the exercise of stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to
the same period in the prior year.
21
We have outstanding debt of $16.5 million that primarily relates to notes payable for one of
our distribution center warehouses and one of our administrative offices, which notes are secured
by the respective properties and due in January 2011.
On June 30, 2009, we entered into a $250 million secured credit agreement with a group of
eight banks that replaced the existing $150 million credit agreement. The new credit facility
matures in June 2013. The credit
agreement permits us and certain of our subsidiaries to borrow up to $250 million based upon a
borrowing base of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, which amount can be increased to $300
million at our request and upon satisfaction of certain conditions including obtaining the
commitment of existing or prospective lenders willing to provide the incremental amount.
Borrowings bear interest at the borrowers election based on LIBOR or a Base Rate (defined as the
greatest of the base LIBOR plus 1.00%, the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% or one of the lenders
prime rate), in each case, plus an applicable margin based on the average daily principal balance
of revolving loans under the credit agreement (2.75% to 3.25% for Base Rate Loans and 3.75% to
4.25% for Libor Rate Loans). We pay a monthly unused line of credit fee between 0.5% and 1.0% per
annum, which varies based on the average daily principal balance of outstanding revolving loans and
undrawn amounts of letters of credit outstanding during such month. The credit agreement further
provides for a limit on the issuance of letters of credit to a maximum of $50 million. The credit
agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for secured credit facilities of
this type, including a fixed charges coverage ratio that applies when excess availability is less
than $50 million. In addition, the credit agreement places limits on additional indebtedness that
we are permitted to incur as well as other restrictions on certain transactions. We and our
subsidiaries were in compliance with all of the covenants of the credit agreement at June 30, 2009.
We and our subsidiaries had $2.1 million of outstanding letters of credit and short-term
borrowings of $0.6 million as of June 30, 2009. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, we paid
syndication and commitment fees of $5.5 million on this facility which are being amortized over the
four year life of the facility.
The global economic recession and related credit crisis has affected certain lenders under our
new credit facility, although none have filed for bankruptcy. For example, recently there have
been indications that CIT, one of our existing lenders under the credit facility, may file for
bankruptcy. CIT has committed to fund $27.5 million towards our credit facility, all of which
currently remains unfunded. If CIT files for bankruptcy, we believe that it is unlikely that CIT
will continue to provide its proportionate share under our new credit facility.
We believe that anticipated cash flows from operations, available borrowings under our secured
line of credit, cash on hand and financing arrangements will be sufficient to provide us with the
liquidity necessary to fund our anticipated working capital and capital requirements through June
30, 2010. However, in connection with our current strategies, we will incur significant working
capital requirements and capital expenditures. Our future capital requirements will depend on many
factors, including, but not limited to, costs associated with moving to a new distribution
facility, the levels at which we maintain inventory, the market acceptance of our footwear, the
success of our international operations, the levels of advertising and marketing required to
promote our footwear, the extent to which we invest in new product design and improvements to our
existing product design, any potential acquisitions of other brands or companies, and the number
and timing of new store openings. To the extent that available funds are insufficient to fund our
future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private financing of
debt or equity. We cannot be assured that additional financing will be available or that, if
available, it can be obtained on terms favorable to our stockholders and us. Failure to obtain such
financing could delay or prevent our current business plans, which could adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if additional capital is
raised through the sale of additional equity or convertible securities, dilution to our
stockholders could occur.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships such
as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have
been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance-sheet arrangements or for other
contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity,
market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based
upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements
requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We
base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to
be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments
about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
For a detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies please refer to our annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) on March 2, 2009.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2009, the FASB approved the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or the
Codification, as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles, or GAAP, in the United States. The Codification will be effective for interim and
annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Upon the effective date, the Codification will be
the single source of authoritative accounting principles to be applied by all nongovernmental
United States entities. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification will be
nonauthoritative. Adoption of this standard will change future authoritative accounting literature
references included in our financial statements to be in accordance with the Codification.
We are currently evaluating the impact of these standards on our consolidated financial
statements; however, we do not expect that the adoption of these accounting pronouncements will
have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
QUARTERLY RESULTS AND SEASONALITY
While sales of footwear products have historically been somewhat seasonal in nature with the
strongest sales generally occurring in the second and third quarters, we believe that changes in
our product offerings have somewhat mitigated the effect of this seasonality and, consequently, our
sales are not necessarily as subjected to seasonal trends as those of our past or of our
competitors in the footwear industry.
We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, variability in our net sales and
operating results on a quarterly basis. Various macroeconomic pressures have created a difficult
retail environment which has caused a downturn in our overall business. Our domestic customers
generally assume responsibility for scheduling pickup and delivery of purchased products. Any delay
in scheduling or pickup which is beyond our control could materially negatively impact our net
sales and results of operations for any given quarter. We believe the factors which influence this
variability include (i) the timing of our introduction of new footwear products, (ii) the level of
consumer acceptance of new and existing products, (iii) general economic and industry conditions
that affect consumer spending and retail purchasing, (iv) the timing of the placement, cancellation
or pickup of customer orders, (v) increases in the number of employees and overhead to support
growth, (vi) the timing of expenditures in anticipation of increased sales and customer delivery
requirements, (vii) the number and timing of our new retail store openings and (viii) actions by
competitors. Due to these and other factors, the operating results for any particular quarter are
not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
INFLATION
We do not believe that the relatively moderate rates of inflation experienced in the United
States over the last three years have had a significant effect on our sales or profitability.
However, we cannot accurately predict the effect of inflation on future operating results. We do
not believe that inflation has had or will have a material effect on our sales or profitability.
While we have been able to offset our foreign product cost increases by increasing
23
prices or
changing suppliers in the past, we cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to make such
increases or changes in the future.
EXCHANGE RATES
Although we currently invoice most of our customers in U.S. Dollars, changes in the value of
the U.S. Dollar versus the local currency in which our products are sold, along with economic and
political conditions of such foreign countries, could adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations. During 2009, we have experienced unfavorable currency
translations which may continue in the foreseeable future. Purchase prices for our products may be
impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the local currencies of
the contract manufacturers, which may have the effect of increasing our cost of goods in the
future. In addition, the weakening of an international customers local currency and banking market
may negatively impact such customers ability to meet their payment obligations to us. We regularly
monitor the creditworthiness of our international customers and make credit decisions based on both
prior sales experience with such customers and their current financial performance, as well as
overall economic conditions. While we currently believe that our international customers have the
ability to meet all of their obligations to us, there can be no assurance that they will continue
to be able to meet such obligations. During 2008 and the first six months of 2009, exchange rate
fluctuations did not have a material impact on our inventory costs. We do not engage in hedging
activities with respect to such exchange rate risk.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We do not hold any derivative securities that require fair value presentation per FASB
Statement No. 133.
Market risk is the potential loss arising from the adverse changes in market rates and prices,
such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in interest rates and changes
in foreign currency exchange rates have had and may continue to have an impact on our results of
operations.
Interest rate fluctuations. The interest rate charged on our secured line of credit fluctuates
and changes in interest rates will have an effect on the interest charged on outstanding balances.
No amounts relating to this secured line of credit facility are currently outstanding at June 30,
2009. We had $0.6 million of outstanding short-term borrowings subject to changes in interest
rates; however, we do not expect any changes will have a material impact on our financial condition
or results of operations.
Foreign exchange rate fluctuations. We face market risk to the extent that changes in foreign
currency exchange rates affect our non-U.S. dollar functional currency foreign subsidiarys
revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. In addition, changes in foreign exchange rates may
affect the value of our inventory commitments. Also, inventory purchases of our products may be
impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the local currencies of
the contract manufacturers, which could have the effect of increasing the cost of goods sold in the
future. We manage these risks by primarily denominating these purchases and commitments in U.S.
dollars. We do not engage in hedging activities with respect to such exchange rate risks.
Assets and liabilities outside the United States are located in the United Kingdom, France,
Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands, Brazil, Chile, China, Hong
Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. Our investments in foreign subsidiaries with a functional
currency other than the U.S. dollar are generally considered long-term. Accordingly, we do not
hedge these net investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the fluctuation of
foreign currencies resulted in a cumulative foreign currency translation gain of $3.9 million and
$0.9 million, respectively, that are deferred and recorded as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive income in stockholders equity. A 200 basis point reduction in each of these
exchange rates at June 30, 2009 would have reduced the values of our net investments by
approximately $2.0 million.
24
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Attached as exhibits to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are certifications of our Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), which are required in accordance
with Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). This
Controls and Procedures section includes information concerning the controls and controls
evaluation referred to in the certifications.
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The term disclosure controls and procedures refers to the controls and procedures of a
company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the
reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
required time periods. We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that
material information relating to Skechers and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to the
officers who certify our financial reports, as well as other members of senior management and the
Board of Directors, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As of the end of the
period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to
Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information
related to our company that is required to be included in our periodic reports filed with the SEC
under the Exchange Act.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months
ended June 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.
INHERENT LIMITATIONS ON EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not
expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent
or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can
provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control systems objectives will be met.
The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the
benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent
limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that
misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of
fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the
realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of
simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons,
by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any
system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events,
and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all
potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future
periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the
inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may
occur and not be detected.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On May 22, 2009, Louis Miranda filed a lawsuit against us in the Superior Court for the State
of California, County of Los Angeles, MIRANDA V. SKECHERS U.S.A., INC. (Case. No. BC414344). The
complaint alleges harassment, discrimination based on sexual orientation, failure to prevent
discrimination, retaliation and wrongful
25
termination. The lawsuit seeks, among other things,
general and compensatory damages, special damages according to proof, punitive damages, prejudgment
interest, and attorneys fees and costs. While we cannot predict the outcome of the litigation, we
believe that we have meritorious defenses to the claims asserted by Miranda and intend to defend
against those claims vigorously.
We have no reason to believe that any liability with respect to pending legal actions,
individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial
statements or results of operations. We occasionally becomes involved in litigation arising from
the normal course of business, and management is unable to determine the extent of any liability
that may arise from unanticipated future litigation. We recognize legal expense in connection with
loss contingencies as incurred.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The information presented below updates the risk factors disclosed in our annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and should be read in conjunction with the risk
factors and other information disclosed in our 2008 annual report that could have a material effect
on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We Depend Upon A Relatively Small Group Of Customers For A Large Portion Of Our Sales.
During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, our net sales to our five largest
customers accounted for approximately 25.6% and 25.1% of total net sales, respectively. No
customer accounted for more than 10% of our net sales during the six months ended June 30, 2009 or
2008. One customer accounted for 14.4% and 10.5% of our outstanding accounts receivable balance at
June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. One other customer accounted for 10.0% of our outstanding
accounts receivable at June 30, 2009. Although we have long-term relationships with many of our
customers, our customers do not have a contractual obligation to purchase our products and we
cannot be certain that we will be able to retain our existing major customers. Furthermore, the
retail industry regularly experiences consolidation, contractions and closings which may result in
our loss of customers or our inability to collect accounts receivable of major customers. If we
lose a major customer, experience a significant decrease in sales to a major customer or are unable
to collect the accounts receivable of a major customer, our business could be harmed.
We Rely On Independent Contract Manufacturers And, As A Result, Are Exposed To Potential
Disruptions In Product Supply.
Our footwear products are currently manufactured by independent contract manufacturers. During
the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, the top five manufacturers of our
manufactured products produced approximately 66.1% and 65.7% of our total purchases, respectively.
One manufacturer accounted for 26.3% of total purchases for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and
the same manufacturer accounted for 31.5% of total purchases for the same period in 2008. A second
manufacturer accounted for 11.3% of our total purchases during the six months ended June 30, 2009
and the same manufacturer accounted for 11.6% of total purchases for the same period in 2008. Two
other manufacturers accounted for 11.0% and 10.2%, respectively, of our total purchases during the
six months ended June 30, 2009. We do not have long-term contracts with manufacturers, and we
compete with other footwear companies for production facilities. We could experience difficulties
with these manufacturers, including reductions in the availability of production capacity, failure
to meet our quality control standards, failure to meet production deadlines or increased
manufacturing costs. This could result in our customers canceling orders, refusing to accept
deliveries or demanding reductions in purchase prices, any of which could have a negative impact on
our cash flow and harm our business.
If some or all of our current manufacturers cease doing business with us, we could experience
an interruption in the manufacture of our products. Although we believe that we could find
alternative manufacturers, we may be unable to establish relationships with alternative
manufacturers that will be as favorable as the relationships we have now. For example, new
manufacturers may have higher prices, less favorable payment terms, lower manufacturing capacity,
lower quality standards or higher lead times for delivery. If we are unable to provide products
consistent
26
with our standards or the manufacture of our footwear is delayed or becomes more
expensive, our business would be harmed.
One Principal Stockholder Is Able To Control Substantially All Matters Requiring A Vote Of Our
Stockholders And His Interests May Differ From The Interests Of Our Other Stockholders.
As of June 30, 2009, Robert Greenberg, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer,
beneficially owned 78.3% of our outstanding Class B common shares and members of Mr. Greenbergs
immediate family beneficially owned the remainder of our outstanding Class B common shares. The
holders of Class A common shares and Class B common shares have identical rights except that
holders of Class A common shares are entitled to one vote per share while holders of Class B common
shares are entitled to ten votes per share on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders.
As a result, as of June 30, 2009, Mr. Greenberg beneficially owned approximately 61.9% of the
aggregate number of votes eligible to be cast by our stockholders, and together with shares
beneficially owned by other members of his immediate family, they beneficially owned approximately
79.2% of the aggregate number of votes eligible to be cast by our stockholders. Therefore, Mr.
Greenberg is able to control substantially all matters requiring approval by our stockholders.
Matters that require the approval of our stockholders include the election of directors and the
approval of mergers or other business combination transactions. Mr. Greenberg also has control over
our management and affairs. As a result of such control, certain transactions are not possible
without the approval of Mr. Greenberg, including proxy contests, tender offers, open market
purchase programs or other transactions that can give our stockholders the opportunity to realize a
premium over the then-prevailing market prices for their shares of our Class A common shares. The
differential in the voting rights may adversely affect the value of our Class A common shares to
the extent that investors or any potential future purchaser view the superior voting rights of our
Class B common shares to have value.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
On May 28, 2009, we held our annual meeting of stockholders. The election of two members to
the Board of Directors was voted on at the meeting.
