These full-price sales were replaced with lower gross margin shipments to international distributors. • Q2 gross margin includes the negative impact of $20 million of transitory supply chain costs. • We accelerated the liquidation of end-of-life inventory at lower-than-planned prices which negatively impacted gross margin but helped to drive inventory levels down by $25 million more than planned.
Net Debt and Liquidity | 17 2023 Outlook We expect to generate operating free cash flow of $80 million to $100 million. We expect year-end net debt of approximately $850 million and bank-defined debt leverage of approximately 3x End of Second Quarter 2023 Gross Debt: $1.11B Less: Cash & Cash Equivalents $0.18B Net Debt: $0.93B *The company has an interest rate swap arrangement, with a nominal amount of $120M at the end of Q2 2023, which exchanges floating rate interest payments for fixed rate payments.

| 18 2023 Full Year Financial Guidance 1) Adjusted Operating Margin and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP measures. See Pages 24 through 26 for reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures 2) Constant currency is a non-GAAP measure Financial results and guidance for 2023, and comparable results from 2022 for our ongoing business exclude the impact of Keds, which was sold in February 2023, and Wolverine Leathers, which is the subject of a sale process, and reflect an adjustment for the transition of our Hush Puppies North America business to a licensing model in the second half of 2023. Tables have been provided in the back of this release showing the impact of these adjustments on operating results for 2023 and 2022 assuming these events occurred on the first day of the relevant period. For visibility regarding this impact on our 2023 operating results, we will report actual results reflecting our ongoing businesses and separately report results for Keds, which will be limited to the period through February 3, 2023 and Wolverine Leathers to the extent we own and operate the business.
| 19 2023 Full Year Financial Guidance for Ongoing Business 1) Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Margin and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP measures. See Pages 24 through 26 for reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures. 2) For a summary of transitory costs and profit improvement benefits see summary page 21. Approximately 40.0% Approximately 5.0% Revenue Adjusted(1) Gross Margin Adjusted(1) Operating Margin Adjusted(1) EPS $2.26B - $2.28B -10.7% to -10.0% $0.45 - $0.55 ($1.37 Pro Forma EPS in 2022) • The trading environment is challenging, especially in global wholesale channels where order demand has slowed as retailers manage their businesses more cautiously. • Adjusted gross margin is expected to be approximately 40%, reflecting a lower mix of footwear DTC sales in the overall mix and lower revenue now expected in our full- price channels. We continue to evaluate pricing actions that could help drive stronger retail sell through over the coming months. • Gross margin outlook includes $70 million (300 bps) of transitory costs and approximately $20 million (100 bps) of excess inventory liquidation costs - combined these cost represent 400 basis points of gross margin pressure that will not recur next year. • We now expect the Profit Improvement Office to deliver at least $70 million in savings for 2023 and we have line of site to an incremental $130 million in savings for 2024 – now yielding a full-year run rate of $200 million and underpinning our confidence in returning to a 12% operating margin.

*To supplement the consolidated condensed financial statements presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company describes what certain financial measures would have been if environmental and other related costs net of recoveries, impairment of long-lived assets, reorganization costs, debt modification costs, gain on the sale of Champion trademarks, costs associated with Sweaty Betty® integration and financial results from the Keds business and Wolverine Leathers business were excluded. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by increasing comparability to the prior period by adjusting for certain items that may not be indicative of the Company's core ongoing operating business results and to better identify trends in the Company's ongoing business. The adjusted financial results are used by management to, and allow investors to, evaluate the operating performance of the Company on a comparable basis. The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company believes providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding results of operations, consistent with how the Company evaluates performance. The Company calculates constant currency by converting the current-period local currency financial results using the prior period exchange rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to the Company's current period reported results. Management does not, nor should investors, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitution for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release, to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are found in the financial tables above. | 26 GAAP As Basis Adjustments1 Adjusted EPS - Fiscal 2022 (2.37)$ 3.78$ 1.41$ 0.19$ 1.60$ (Unaudited) (In millions) Foreign Exchange Impact As Adjusted EPS on a Constant Currency Basis 2022 adjustment reflects non-cash impairment of the Sperry® trade name and the Sweaty Betty® trade name and goodwill, reorganization costs, environmental and other related costs net of recoveries, costs associated with Sweaty Betty® integration and receivables securitization transaction costs, partially offset by gain on the sale of the Champion trademark. 2021 adjustments reflect debt extinguishment costs, costs associated with the acquisition of Sweaty Betty®, environmental and other related costs net of recoveries and non-cash impairment related to one of the Company's joint ventures.
