Looking to 2026, we are encouraged by the momentum building in our flagship Steve Madden brand and the opportunity for growth in Kurt Geiger London. That said, we expect pressure on our private label business as well as higher SG&A driven by the normalization of incentive compensation and the restoration of senior executive salaries. While we continue to face uncertainty related to tariffs, the fundamentals of our business are strong. Our product assortments and marketing campaigns are resonating with consumers, our brands are powerful and gaining relevance, and we have a sound strategy for long-term value creation with multiple levers for growth.” Fourth Quarter 2025 Channel Results Revenue for the wholesale business in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $433.3 million, a 7.5% increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Excluding the recently acquired Kurt Geiger, wholesale revenue declined 2.6%. Wholesale footwear revenue increased 11.0%, or 5.5% excluding Kurt Geiger. Wholesale accessories/apparel revenue increased 3.1%, or decreased 13.0% excluding Kurt Geiger. Gross profit as a percentage of wholesale revenue was 30.7% in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 30.5% in the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of wholesale revenue was 31.5%, compared to 30.5% in the fourth quarter of 2024, driven by the addition of the Kurt Geiger business, partially offset by the impact of new tariffs on goods imported into the United States. Direct-to-consumer revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $316.6 million, a 79.9% increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Excluding Kurt Geiger, direct-to-consumer revenue increased 1.6%. Gross profit as a percentage of direct-to-consumer revenue was 57.7%, compared to 62.0% in the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of direct-to-consumer revenue was 59.8%, compared to 62.0% in the fourth quarter of 2024, as a result of the addition of the Kurt Geiger concessions business and the impact of new tariffs on goods imported into the United States. The Company ended the quarter with 399 company-operated brick-and-mortar retail stores, including 98 outlets, as well as seven e-commerce websites and 133 company-operated concessions in international markets. Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights As of December 31, 2025, total debt outstanding was $234.2 million, and cash, cash equivalents totaled $112.4 million, for net debt of $121.7 million. The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock in the open market in 2025.
