Skechers U.S.A., Inc., known as The Comfort Technology Company, is a global leader in the footwear industry, designing and marketing a wide range of lifestyle and performance footwear, apparel, and accessories across approximately 180 countries. The company operates through a network of retail stores and online platforms, with a significant presence in both wholesale and direct-to-consumer markets.
In its second quarter of 2025, Skechers reported a robust financial performance with sales reaching $2.44 billion, marking a 13.1% increase compared to the previous year. This growth was partly influenced by favorable foreign currency exchange rates. The company also saw a rise in diluted earnings per share to $1.13, up from $0.91 in the same quarter last year.
Key highlights from the quarter include a 15% increase in wholesale sales and an 11% growth in direct-to-consumer sales. Despite these positive trends, the company experienced a decrease in operating margin from 9.6% to 7.1%, attributed to a rise in operating expenses. International markets, particularly in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, showed strong performance with a 48.5% increase in sales.
Looking ahead, Skechers remains focused on expanding its global footprint and enhancing its product offerings. The management is optimistic about sustaining growth through strategic initiatives and continued investment in its brand and distribution channels, despite the challenges posed by fluctuating market conditions and competitive pressures.
