Insights

Skechers' 2024 performance demonstrates remarkable operational execution and market share gains across key regions. The 120 basis point improvement in gross margin to 53.2% reflects successful cost management and pricing strategies, particularly in reducing freight costs. The company's regional diversification strategy is paying off, with notable growth in EMEA (25%) and strong domestic performance (18%).

Two key concerns warrant attention: First, the 25.8% inventory increase to $1.92 billion, partly due to Suez Canal disruptions, which could pressure margins in upcoming quarters. Second, while China shows continued headwinds, strong performance in India and Japan demonstrates effective market diversification in APAC.

The 2025 guidance of $9.70-9.80 billion in sales and EPS of $4.30-4.50 suggests continued momentum, though the projected tax rate increase to 22-23% may impact profitability. The substantial $600-700 million CAPEX plan, focused on distribution center expansion, indicates management's confidence in future growth trajectory.

The company's robust cash position of $1.38 billion and aggressive share repurchase program ($330.1 million in 2024) demonstrate strong cash flow generation and shareholder-friendly capital allocation.

Skechers' market positioning as The Comfort Technology Company continues to resonate strongly with consumers, evidenced by successful product launches and celebrity partnerships. The company's strategic marketing campaigns, featuring Howie Mandel and Martha Stewart for Hands Free Slip-ins, demonstrate effective celebrity engagement that connects with diverse consumer segments.

The expansion into performance categories through partnerships with high-profile athletes like Joel Embiid and strategic entry into growing sports segments (basketball, soccer, pickleball) shows smart category diversification. The company's first experiential performance store in Edmonton signals an evolution in retail strategy, focusing on enhanced customer experience.

The direct-to-consumer segment's 10.7% growth, while solid, lags behind wholesale growth, suggesting potential opportunities for digital transformation and omnichannel optimization. The net addition of 128 stores globally indicates continued belief in physical retail presence, though the high turnover (681 openings vs. 553 closures) suggests strategic location optimization.

“We delivered record full year sales of $8.97 billion in 2024, or $9.04 billion on a constant currency basis, reflecting the continued robust global consumer demand supported by effective marketing campaigns,” began David Weinberg, Chief Operating Officer of Skechers. “The year ended with a strong holiday season that enabled record fourth quarter sales of $2.21 billion. Quarterly sales reflect 17% growth in Wholesale and 8% in Direct-to-Consumer, as well as 18% domestically and 10% internationally. By region, sales grew 14% in the Americas, 25% in EMEA, and 3% in APAC, despite continued headwinds in China. We saw particularly strong results in the United States, across Europe, in India and in Japan. Though challenging market and shipping conditions persisted in a few countries, the strength of our business is attributable to our differentiated market position, a highly attractive value proposition that combines comfort, innovation, style and quality at an attainable price. We continue to advance our product innovation with comfort technologies across the portfolio, the latest example of which is our Skechers Cricket footwear in India. Additionally, we remain committed to investing in our operations, including the expansion of our distribution centers in North America, China and Europe, as well as delivering an exceptional customer experience in Direct-to-Consumer such as with the opening of our first experiential performance store in Edmonton.”

“Our 2024 record sales were driven by a strong response to our comfort technology products, and the outstanding execution of our talented and dedicated team in developing, marketing and managing the strategic allocation of our footwear, apparel and accessories worldwide,” began Robert Greenberg, Chief Executive Officer of Skechers. “The flexibility, determination and creative spirit of the Skechers organization is unparalleled. Our innovative comfort business closely aligns with the needs of consumers of all ages, genders, activities and professions who are embracing our lifestyle and performance product offering. The global demand for our business is a true testament to our ability to continuously evolve our diverse product portfolio and effectively create excitement for our innovations through powerful marketing campaigns. The success of our Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins during the holiday period was fueled in part by campaigns featuring Howie Mandel and Martha Stewart, among others. In our Performance Division, in 2024 we expanded our team of athletes with noted soccer players across Europe, Asia and South America, and NBA and WNBA basketball players, including Philadelphia 76ers’ Joel Embiid, LA Sparks’ Rickea Jackson, and most recently Charlotte Hornets’ Josh Green – all of whom have sought out Skechers for our comfort that performs. While the lifestyle division with our many innovative features remains a key sales driver, we are committed to ensuring athletes at all levels can comfortably excel, and we believe our performance division with basketball, soccer, golf, running and pickleball footwear also has tremendous growth opportunity globally. We are confident in our strategic product, marketing and operational plans executed by our dedicated team will result in notable achievements and continued growth in the coming year.”

Balance Sheet

In 2024, the Company repurchased 5.2 million shares of its Class A common stock at a cost of $330.1 million.

SKECHERS U.S.A., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Reconciliation of GAAP Earnings Financial Measures to Corresponding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

Constant Currency Adjustment (Non-GAAP Financial Measure)

We evaluate our results of operations on both an as reported and a constant currency basis. The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of period-over-period fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our results of operations, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance and is consistent with how management evaluates the Company’s performance. We calculate constant currency percentages by converting our current period local currency financial results using the prior-period exchange rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to our prior period reported results.
