Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Unaudited
June 30, 2024
(in thousands except per share data)

Note A – Basis of Reporting

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Steven Madden, Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company, the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Annual Report of Steven Madden, Ltd. on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 4, 2024.

Note B – Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant areas involving management estimates include variable consideration included in revenue, allowances for bad debts, inventory valuation, and valuation of goodwill and intangible assets. The Company estimates variable consideration for future customer chargebacks and markdown allowances, discounts, returns, and other miscellaneous compliance-related deductions that relate to current-period sales. The Company evaluates anticipated chargebacks by reviewing several performance indicators of its major customers. These performance indicators, which include retailers’ inventory levels, sell-through rates, and gross margin levels, are analyzed by management to estimate the amount of the anticipated customer allowances.

Note C – Acquisitions and Joint Ventures

Almost Famous

On October 20, 2023, Daniel M. Friedman & Associates, Inc. (“Buyer”), a New York corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities (the “Business”) of Turn On Products Inc. d/b/a Almost Famous (“Seller” or “Almost Famous”), pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, by and among Buyer, the Company, Seller, and the holders of capital stock of Seller. Almost Famous is a designer and marketer of women’s junior apparel. Almost Famous distributes its products to wholesale customers, including mass merchants, department stores, off-price retailers, and chain stores within the United States. Almost Famous markets products under its own brands, primarily Almost Famous, as well as private label brands for various retailers. This Business was acquired for cash consideration of $73,228 and a future payment contingent on the Almost Famous business achieving certain earnings before interest and tax ("EBIT") targets. In connection therewith, we recorded an initial short-term liability of $3,325 and a long-term liability of $9,975 as of the date of acquisition to reflect the estimated fair value of the contingent purchase price. The fair value of the contingent payments liability was estimated on the date of acquisition using the risk neutral simulation method, which included significant unobservable Level 3 inputs, such as projected EBIT over the earn-out period and a discount rate of 20.3%. Changes in these significant unobservable inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The maximum consideration which can be paid over the consideration period of four years is $68,000 and there are no minimum payments required. The liability will be remeasured at each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. After the effect of closing adjustments, the total purchase price of the acquisition was $86,528.

The results of the Business have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition within the Wholesale Accessories/Apparel segment.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the October 20, 2023 acquisition date:

(in thousands)Fair Value

Inventories22,718 
Factor accounts receivable51,940

Operating leases - long-term portion(2,703)
Total fair value excluding goodwill$75,591 
Goodwill10,937 
Net assets acquired$86,528 
(1) Consists of a Trademark of $9,050 and customer relationships of $23,900, both of which are amortized over 20 years.
The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with FASB Topic ASC 805 ("Business Combinations"), which requires that the total cost of an acquisition be allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values at the date of acquisition.

The Company recorded goodwill for the acquisition based on the amount by which the purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired, which consists largely of the synergies expected from the acquisitions. For tax purposes, goodwill will be amortized over a 15 year period.

Preliminary estimates of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to revision, which may result in adjustments to the preliminary values recorded during the measurement period (a period not to exceed 12 months from acquisition date).

The fair value of the trademark was estimated using the relief-from-royalty method, which presumes the owner of the asset avoids hypothetical royalty payments that would need to be made for the use of the asset if the asset was not owned. Key assumptions and estimates used are forecasted revenue, a royalty rate of 3.0%, and a discount rate of 21.8%. Such assumptions included significant unobservable inputs and changes in these significant unobservable inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The useful life of the trademark was estimated to be 20 years and amortization for the trademark has been recorded in operating expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

The fair value of the customer relationships was estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method. The excess earnings methodology is an income approach methodology that estimates the projected cash flows of the business attributable to the customer relationships, net of charges for the use of other identifiable assets of the business including working capital, fixed assets, and other intangible assets. Key assumptions and estimates used in deriving the projected cash flows are forecasted revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") margin of 8.8%, customer attrition rate of 5.0%, and discount rates in the range of 21.0% to 23.5%. Such assumptions include significant unobservable inputs and such

changes in these significant unobservable inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The useful life of the customer relationships was estimated to be 20 years and amortization for these intangible assets has been recorded in operating expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Transaction costs of $1,505 for the year ended December 31, 2023 have been recorded within operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Hosiery Business

On March 1, 2024 Daniel M. Friedman & Associates, Inc. acquired the Steve Madden and Betsey Johnson hosiery division ("hosiery business") of Gina Group LLC (“Gina”). Gina has been the exclusive licensee of the hosiery category for Steve Madden and Betsey Johnson brands and such license agreements were terminated in conjunction with the acquisition. The assets of the hosiery business were acquired for a cash consideration of $4,259 and the assets acquired included inventories of $2,168, reacquired rights of $1,450, and goodwill of $641.

The results of the business have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition within the Wholesale Accessories/Apparel segment.

Joint Ventures

On May 15, 2024, the Company, through its subsidiary, Madden Europe Holding BV, formed a joint venture ("SM Fashion d.o.o. Beograd") with Milija Babovic. The Company owns 50.01% interest in SM Fashion d.o.o. Beograd and paid an initial nominal contribution. SM Fashion d.o.o. is the exclusive distributor of the Company's products in various countries throughout Southeastern Europe. Since the Company has a controlling financial interest in the joint venture, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of SM Fashion d.o.o. Beograd are consolidated and included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The other member's interest is reflected in “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and “Noncontrolling interests” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On June 1, 2024, the Company, through its subsidiary, Madden Asia Holding Limited, formed a joint venture ("SM Distribution Latin America S. de R.L.") with Steve International Inc. The Company owns 51.0% interest in SM Distribution Latin America S. de R.L. and paid a contribution of $4,131. SM Distribution Latin America S. de R.L. is the exclusive distributor of the Company's products in various countries throughout Latin America. Since the Company has a controlling financial interest in the joint venture, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of SM Distribution Latin America S. de R.L. are consolidated and included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The other member's interest is reflected in “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and “Noncontrolling interests” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note D – Short-Term Investments

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, short-term investments consisted of certificates of deposit. These securities are classified as current based upon their maturities. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, short-term investments amounted to $11,761 and $15,173, respectively, and as of the balance sheet date have original maturities less than or equal to one year.

Note E – Fair Value Measurement

The accounting guidance under Accounting Standards Codification 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), requires the Company to make disclosures about the fair value of certain of its assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. ASC 820-10

utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. A brief description of those three levels is as follows:
 
•Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
•Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs; inputs to the valuation methodology based on unobservable prices or valuation techniques that are significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:

(2) On December 31, 2023, $3,325 was recorded in Contingent payment liability - current portion and $9,975 was recorded in Contingent payment liability - long-term portion.

Forward contracts are used to manage the risk associated with the volatility of future cash flows (see Note L – Derivative Instruments). Fair value of these instruments is based on observable market transactions of spot and forward rates.

The Company's recurring Level 3 balance consists of a contingent payment liability related to an acquisition. The changes in the Company's Level 3 liabilities for the periods ended June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the contingent payment liability was $21,500 and $13,300, respectively, in connection with the October 20, 2023 acquisition of Almost Famous. The fair value of the contingent payments was estimated using a risk neutral simulation method to model the probability of different financial results of Almost Famous during the earn-out period, utilizing a discount rate of 19.5% and 20.3% at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The change in valuation for the contingent payment liability was a result of updates to the forecasted operating results for the earn-out period.

The fair values of goodwill and intangibles are measured on a non-recurring basis and are determined using Level 3 inputs, including forecasted cash flows, discount rates, and implied royalty rates (see Note C – Acquisitions and Joint Ventures and Note K – Goodwill and Intangible Assets).

The fair values of lease right-of-use assets and fixed assets related to company-owned retail stores are measured on a non-recurring basis and are determined using Level 3 inputs, including estimated discounted future cash flows associated with the assets using sales trends, market rents and market participant assumptions (see Note F – Leases).

The carrying value of certain financial instruments such as cash equivalents, certificates of deposit, accounts receivable, factor accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of their underlying terms. Fair value of the notes receivable held by the Company approximates their carrying value based upon their imputed or actual interest rate, which approximates applicable current market interest rates. Some assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances (non-recurring). These assets can include long-lived assets that have been reduced to fair value when impaired. Assets that are written down to fair value when impaired are not subsequently adjusted to fair value unless further impairment occurs.
Note F – Leases
The Company leases office space, sample production space, warehouses, showrooms, storage units, and retail stores pursuant to operating leases. The Company’s portfolio of leases is primarily related to real estate. Since most of its leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement.
Some of the Company’s retail store leases provide for variable lease payments based on sales volumes at the leased location, which are not measurable at the inception of the lease and are therefore not included in the measurement of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Under Topic 842, these variable lease costs are expensed as incurred.

Note G – Share Repurchase Program

The Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”), effective as of January 1, 2004. The Share Repurchase Program does not have a fixed expiration or termination date and may be modified or terminated by the Board of Directors at any time. On several occasions, the Board of Directors has increased the amount

authorized for repurchase of the Company's common stock. On May 8, 2023, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the Company's share repurchase authorization of approximately $189,900, bringing the total authorization to $250,000. The Share Repurchase Program permits the Company to effect repurchases from time to time through a combination of open market repurchases or in privately negotiated transactions at such prices and times as are determined to be in the best interest of the Company. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, an aggregate of 868 and 1,641 shares of the Company's common stock, excluding net settlements of employee stock awards, were repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program, at a weighted average price per share of $43.22 and $42.76, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $37,515 and $70,159, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, an aggregate of 773 and 1,739 shares of the Company's common stock, excluding net settlements of employee stock awards, were repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program, at a weighted average price per share of $32.66 and $34.39, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $25,230 and $59,811, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, approximately $105,302 remained available for future repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program.

The Steven Madden, Ltd. Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (as further amended, the "2006 Plan"), which expired on April 6, 2019, and the Steven Madden, Ltd. 2019 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (the "2019 Plan"), both provide the Company with the right to deduct or withhold, or require employees to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable tax withholding and/or option cost obligations applicable to stock-based compensation awards. To the extent permitted, employees may elect to satisfy all or part of such withholding obligations by tendering to the Company previously owned shares or by having the Company withhold shares having a fair market value equal to the employee's withholding tax obligation and/or option cost. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, an aggregate of 34 and 143 shares were withheld in connection with the settlement of vested restricted stock to satisfy tax-withholding requirements and option costs, at an average price per share of $42.48 and $42.69, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1,436 and $6,129, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, an aggregate of 16 and 124 shares were withheld in connection with the settlement of vested restricted stock to satisfy tax-withholding requirements and option costs, at an average price per share of $34.55 and $35.78, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $553 and $4,424, respectively.

Note H – Net Income Per Share of Common Stock

Basic net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, which does not include unvested restricted common stock subject to forfeiture of 1,629 shares for the period ended June 30, 2024, compared to 2,145 shares for the period ended June 30, 2023. Diluted net income per share reflects: (a) the potential dilution assuming shares of common stock were issued upon the exercise of outstanding in-the-money options and the assumed proceeds, which are deemed to be the proceeds from the exercise plus compensation cost not yet recognized attributable to future services using the treasury method, were used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period, and (b) the vesting of granted non-vested restricted stock awards for which the assumed proceeds upon

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, options to purchase approximately 24 and 12 shares of common stock have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, options to purchase approximately 17 and 9 shares of common stock have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, 1 and 5 restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share, as compared to approximately 79 and 61 shares that were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, as the result would have been anti-dilutive. The Company had contingently issuable performance awards outstanding that did not meet the performance conditions as of June 30, 2024 and 2023 and, therefore, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The number of potentially dilutive shares that could be issued upon vesting for these performance awards were immaterial as of both June 30, 2024 and 2023. These amounts were also excluded from the computation of weighted average potentially dilutive securities.

Note I – Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate, plus or minus discrete items. The following table presents the provision for income taxes and the effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Three Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30,
2024202320242023

Income tax expense$11,276$10,923$25,015$22,668 
Effective tax rate23.4%23.7%23.5%24.0%

The difference between the Company’s effective tax rates of 23.4% and 23.7% and 23.5% and 24.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, is primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax income in jurisdictions with higher tax rates.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain income tax positions in income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits, and interest and penalty expense are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. for federal, state, and local purposes, and in certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company's tax years 2020 through 2023 remain open to examination by most taxing authorities.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was signed into law, which contains certain revisions to the Internal Revenue Code, including a 15% corporate minimum income tax for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. While the 15% corporate minimum income tax has no effect on the Company’s results of operations in the near term, we will continue to evaluate its impact on future years. The IRA also assesses a 1% excise tax on repurchases of corporate stock which impacts the Company’s stock repurchases effective January 1, 2023. The excise tax is recorded as an incremental cost in treasury stock on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and was $331 and $598 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) has implemented the global minimum tax rate of at least 15% for large multinational companies as of 2024 (“Pillar Two”). Under Pillar Two, a top-up tax will be required for any jurisdiction who has enacted Pillar Two and whose effective tax rate falls below the 15% global minimum rate. Additionally, the OECD issued administrative guidance providing transition and safe harbor rules around the implementation of the Pillar Two global minimum tax. Under the safe harbor, companies would be excluded from Pillar Two requirements provided certain criteria are met. Based on preliminary analysis, the enactment of Pillar Two legislation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position. The Company will continue to monitor and reflect the impact of such legislative changes in future periods, as appropriate.

Note J – Equity-Based Compensation

The following table summarizes the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2019 Plan, the number of stock-based awards granted (net of expired or cancelled awards) under the 2019 Plan and the number of shares of common stock available for the grant of stock-based awards under the 2019 Plan:

Common stock authorized(1)

(1) On May 22, 2024, the stockholders of the Company approved amendments to the Steven Madden, Ltd. 2019 Plan to, among other things, increase the number of shares of Company common stock available for issuance under the 2019 Plan. As amended, the 2019 Plan provides that up to a total of 19,000 shares of the Company’s common stock may be issued thereunder.

In addition, vested and unvested options to purchase 45 shares of common stock and 200 shares of unvested restricted stock awarded under the 2006 Plan were outstanding as of June 30, 2024.

Total equity-based compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

Stock Options
 
Cash proceeds and intrinsic values related to total stock options exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:
 Three Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30,

Intrinsic value of stock options exercised$364 $224 $506 $358 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, options to purchase 65 shares vested with a weighted average exercise price of $31.94 and options to purchase 138 shares vested with a weighted average exercise price of $32.28 vested, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, options to purchase 70 shares vested with a weighted average exercise price of $36.51 and options to purchase approximately 149 shares vested with a weighted average exercise price of $36.57. As of June 30, 2024, there were unvested options relating to 278 shares of common stock outstanding with a total of $2,712 of unrecognized compensation cost and an average vesting period of 1.2 years.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of options granted, which requires several assumptions. The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on the historical experience of similar awards. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The dividend yield is based on the Company's annualized dividend per share amount divided by the Company's stock price. The following weighted average assumptions were used for stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Six Months Ended June 30,
