The earnings call presented a mixed outlook. While there were some positive achievements such as strong performance in the Florsheim brand, improvement in retail gross earnings, and a strong cash position, these were countered by significant declines in net sales, wholesale and retail segments, and challenges posed by increased tariffs. The company is navigating these challenges with strategic actions like diversifying its supply chain, but the uncertain impact of tariffs on future costs remains a concern.
Company Guidance
During the first quarter of 2025, Weyco Group faced a challenging economic environment, resulting in a 5% decline in net sales to $68 million compared to the same quarter in 2024. The company's consolidated gross earnings were 44.6% of net sales, slightly down from 44.7% last year.

The North American wholesale segment experienced a 4% decline in net sales to $54.3 million, while retail segment sales fell 12% to $8.7 million. Florsheim Australia's sales also decreased by 7% to $5.1 million, influenced by currency fluctuations and the closure of operations in the Asia Pacific region. Despite these challenges, the company is implementing strategies to mitigate the impact of increased tariffs, including diversifying its supply chain and adjusting product pricing.
