Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Unaudited

March 31, 2023

(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 months ended March 31, 2023 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, 2022 included in the Annual Report of Steven Madden, Ltd. on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2023.

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, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets and impairment of long-lived assets related to retail stores. 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 – Short-Term Investments

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, short-term investments consisted of certificates of deposit. These securities are classified as current based upon their maturities. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, short-term investments amounted to $13,740 and $15,085, respectively, and have original maturities less than or equal to one year as of the balance sheet date.

Note D – 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.

STEVEN MADDEN, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Unaudited

March 31, 2023

(in thousands except per share data)

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:

	March 31, 2023								December 31, 2022
	Fair value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Fair value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Forward contracts	1,414		—		1,414		—		916		—		916		—
Total assets	$	1,414	$	—	$	1,414	$	—	$	916	$	—	$	916	$	—
Liabilities:
Forward contracts	2,223		—		2,223		—		1,241		—		1,241		—
Total liabilities	$	2,223	$	—	$	2,223	$	—	$	1,241	$	—	$	1,241	$	—

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

The Company's Level 3 balance consists of contingent consideration related to acquisitions. There were no changes in the Company’s Level 3 liabilities for the period ended March 31, 2023. The changes in the Company's Level 3 liabilities for the period ended December 31, 2022 were as follows:

	Balance at January 1, 2022		Adjustments(1)	Transfer out of Level 3(2)	Balance at December 31, 2022
Liabilities:
Contingent consideration	$	6,960	(5,807)	(1,153)	$	—

(1) In 2022, amount consists of an adjustment of $(5,807) that was included as a benefit in operating expenses, related to the change in valuation of the contingent consideration in connection with the acquisition of B.B. Dakota, Inc.

(2) On December 31, 2022, the transfer out of Level 3 amount of $1,153, which was recorded in the current portion of our contingent payment liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, represented the current portion of our contingent liabilities and was measured at the amount payable based on actual EBITDA performance for the related performance period. At March 31, 2023, the amount of $1,153 was recorded in the current portion of our contingent payment liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the amount will be paid later this year.

At March 31, 2023, the liability for contingent consideration was $1,153 in connection with the August 12, 2019 acquisition of B.B. Dakota, Inc. Pursuant to the terms of an earn-out provision contained in the equity purchase agreement between the Company and the sellers of B.B. Dakota, Inc., the earn-out payments are based on EBITDA performance for the related performance period.

The fair values of trademarks 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 J – 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 E – 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 E – 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.

Lease Position

The following table presents the lease-related assets and liabilities recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

	Classification on the Balance Sheet	March 31, 2023			December 31, 2022
Assets
Noncurrent(1)	Operating lease right-of-use asset	$	112,501		$	90,264
Liabilities
Current	Operating leases – current portion	$	33,977		$	29,499

(1) During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a pre-tax impairment charge related to its right-of-use assets of $95 recorded in the Wholesale Footwear Segment.

Note F – 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 months ended March 31, 2023, an aggregate of 967 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 $35.77, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $34,580. As of March 31, 2023, approximately $59,818 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 (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 months ended March 31, 2023, an aggregate of 108 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 $35.96, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $3,871.

Note G – 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 2,161 shares for the period ended March 31, 2023, compared to 2,970 shares for the period ended March 31, 2022. 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 vesting are deemed to be the amount of compensation cost not yet recognized attributable to future services using the treasury stock method, to the extent dilutive.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023	2022
Weighted average common shares outstanding:
Basic	74,498	77,251
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock awards and options to purchase shares of common stock	1,357	2,412
Diluted	75,855	79,663

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, options to purchase approximately 6 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 months ended March 31, 2022, options to purchase approximately 5 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 months ended March 31, 2023, 58 restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share, as compared to approximately 18 shares that were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2023 and 2022 and, therefore, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The maximum number of potentially dilutive shares that could be issued upon vesting for these performance awards was approximately 0 and 12 as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These amounts were also excluded from the computation of weighted average potentially dilutive securities.

Note H – Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 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 months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Income before provision for income taxes	$	48,531	$	97,953
Income tax expense	$	11,745	$	23,360
Effective tax rate	24.2%		23.8%

The difference between the Company’s effective tax rates of 24.2% and 23.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, is primarily due to the expected jurisdictional mix of profit and losses from each period.

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 2019 through 2022 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 $296 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Note I – 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	11,000
Stock-based awards, including restricted stock and stock options granted, net of expired or cancelled awards	(5,912)
Common stock available for grant of stock-based awards as of March 31, 2023	5,088

In addition, vested and unvested options to purchase 1,708 shares of common stock and 1,079 shares of unvested restricted stock awarded under the 2006 Plan were outstanding as of March 31, 2023.

Total equity-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Restricted stock	$	5,393	$	5,062
Stock options	746		918
Total	$	6,139	$	5,980

Equity-based compensation is included in operating expenses on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Stock Options

Cash proceeds and intrinsic values related to total stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Proceeds from stock options exercised	$	264	$	275
Intrinsic value of stock options exercised	$	134	$	172

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, options to purchase 79 shares vested with a weighted average exercise price of $36.63. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, options to purchase 310 shares vested with a weighted average exercise price of $29.31. As of March 31, 2023, there were unvested options relating to 149 shares of common stock outstanding with a total of $1,244 of unrecognized compensation cost and an average vesting period of 2.1 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 three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023	2022
Volatility	47.7%	45.1%
Risk free interest rate	4.0%	1.2%
Expected life in years	5.0	5.0
Dividend yield	2.6%	1.8%
Weighted average fair value	$11.86	$15.60

The Company evaluates its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for indicators of impairment at least annually in the third quarter of each year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. A qualitative assessment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets was performed as of July 1, 2022. In conducting the qualitative impairment assessment for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair values of its reporting units exceeded their carrying values and the fair values of its indefinite-lived intangibles exceeded their respective carrying values. Therefore, in 2022, as a result of the annual test, no impairment charges were recorded for goodwill and intangibles.

The amortization of intangible assets amounted to $423 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $2,315 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and is included in operating expenses on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The estimated future amortization expense for intangibles as of March 31, 2023 was as follows:

2023 (remaining nine months)	$	1,259
2024	1,678
2025	1,678
2026	1,678
2027	1,451
Thereafter	3,875
Total	$	11,619

Note K – Derivative Instruments

The Company uses derivative instruments, specifically, forward foreign exchange contracts, to manage the risk associated with the volatility of future cash flows. The foreign exchange contracts are used to mitigate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on certain forecasted purchases of inventory and are designated as cash flow hedging instruments. As of March 31, 2023, the Company's entire net forward contracts hedging portfolio consisted of a notional amount of $77,084, with the fair value included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in other current assets of $1,414 and other current liabilities of $2,223. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company's hedging activities were considered effective, and, thus, no ineffectiveness from hedging activities was recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income during the first quarter of 2023 and 2022. These gains and losses are recognized in Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note L – Commitments, Contingencies and Other

Future Minimum Royalty and Advertising Payments:

The Company has minimum commitments related to the Company’s license agreements. The Company sources, distributes, advertises and sells certain of its products pursuant to its license agreements with unaffiliated licensors. Royalty amounts under the license agreements are generally based on a stipulated percentage of sales, although most of these agreements contain provisions for the payment of minimum annual royalty amounts. The license agreements have various terms and some have additional renewal options, provided that minimum sales levels and certain other conditions are achieved. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had future minimum royalty and advertising payments of $21,625. Royalty expenses are recognized in Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Legal Proceedings:

The Company has been named as a defendant in certain lawsuits in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, after consulting with legal counsel, the liabilities, if any, resulting from these matters should not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. It is the policy of management to disclose the amount or range of reasonably possible losses in excess of recorded amounts or cash flows.

Note M – Operating Segment Information

The Company operates the following operating segments, which are presented as reportable segments: Wholesale Footwear, Wholesale Accessories/Apparel, Direct-to-Consumer, and Licensing. As of January 2023, the Company no longer serves as a buying agent for any of its customers, and as a result no longer reports under the First Cost segment. This change is not considered to have a material or meaningful impact on the Company's operations. Our Wholesale Footwear segment designs, sources, and markets our brands and sells our products to department stores, mass merchants, off-price retailers, shoe chains, online retailers, national chains, specialty retailers, independent stores, and clubs throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe, and through our joint ventures and international distributor network. Our Wholesale Accessories/Apparel segment designs, sources, and markets our brands and sells our products to department stores, mass merchants, off-price retailers, online retailers, specialty retailers, independent stores and clubs throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe and through our joint ventures and international distributor network. Our Direct-to-Consumer segment, which was referred to as the Retail segment in previous filings, consists of Steve Madden® and Dolce Vita® full-price retail stores, Steve Madden® outlet stores, and our directly-operated digital e-commerce websites. Our retail stores are located in regional malls and shopping centers, as well as high streets in major cities across the United States, Canada, Mexico, Israel, South Africa, Taiwan, China, and the Middle East. Our Licensing segment is engaged in the licensing of the Steve Madden® and Betsey Johnson® trademarks for use in the sale of select apparel, accessory, and home categories as well as various other non-core products.

Our Corporate activities do not constitute a reportable segment and include costs not directly attributable to the segments that are primarily related to costs associated with corporate executives, corporate finance, corporate social responsibility, legal, human resources, information technology, cyber security, and other shared costs. The Chief Operating Decision Maker does not review asset information by segment; therefore we do not present assets in this note.

Note N – Credit Agreement

On July 22, 2020, the Company entered into a $150,000 secured revolving credit agreement (as amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”) with various lenders and Citizens Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Agent”), which replaced the Company’s existing credit facility provided by Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. (“Rosenthal”). The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) scheduled to mature on July 22, 2025.

The initial $150,000 maximum availability under the Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base calculation consisting of certain eligible accounts receivable, credit card receivables, inventory, and in-transit inventory. Availability under the Credit Facility is reduced by outstanding letters of credit. The Company may from time-to-time increase the maximum availability under the Credit Agreement by up to $100,000 if certain conditions are satisfied.

On March 25, 2022, an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) replaced the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) with the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index (“BSBY”) as the interest rate benchmark. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement generally bear interest at a variable rate equal to a specified margin, which is based upon the average availability under the Credit Facility from time to time, plus, at the Company’s election (i) BSBY for the applicable interest period or (ii) the base rate (which is the highest of (a) the prime rate announced by the Agent, (b) the sum of the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, and (c) the sum of the one-month BSBY rate plus 1.00%). Furthermore, the Amendment reduced the specified margin used to determine the interest rate under the Credit Agreement and reduced the commitment fee paid by the Company to the Agent, for the account of each lender. Additionally, the Amendment reduced the frequency of the Company’s borrowing base reporting requirements when no loans are outstanding. The Amendment also extended the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to March 20, 2027.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company must also pay (i) a commitment fee to the Agent, for the account of each lender, which accrues at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum on the average daily unused amount of the commitment of such lender, (ii) a letter of credit participation fee to the Agent, for the account of each lender, ranging from 1.25% to 2.50% per annum, based upon average availability under the Credit Facility from time to time, multiplied by the average daily amount available to be drawn under the applicable letter of credit, and (iii) a letter of credit fronting fee to each issuer of a letter of credit under the Credit Agreement, which will accrue at a rate per annum separately agreed upon between the Company and such issuer.

The Credit Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries. Among other requirements, availability under the Credit Facility must, at all times, (i) prior to the occurrence of the permanent borrowing base trigger (as defined in the Credit Agreement), equal or exceed the greater of $22,500 and 15% of the line cap (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and (ii) after the occurrence of the permanent borrowing base trigger, equal or exceed the greater of $15,000 and 10% of the line cap (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Other than this minimum availability requirement, the Credit Agreement does not include any financial maintenance covenants.

The Credit Agreement requires the Company and various subsidiaries of the Company to guarantee each other’s obligations arising from time to time under the Credit Facility, as well as obligations arising in respect of certain cash management and hedging transactions. Subject to customary exceptions and limitations, all borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by a lien on all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and each subsidiary guarantor.

The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. If an event of default under the Credit Agreement occurs and is continuing, then the Agent may, and at the request of the required lenders shall, terminate the loan commitments under the

Credit Agreement, declare any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable or require the Company to adequately cash collateralize outstanding letter of credit obligations. If the Company or, with certain exceptions, a subsidiary becomes the subject of a proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, then the loan commitments under the Credit Agreement will automatically terminate, and any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement and the cash collateral required under the Credit Agreement for any outstanding letter of credit obligations will become immediately due and payable.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had no cash borrowings and no letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

Note O – Factoring Agreements

In conjunction with the Credit Agreement described in Note N – Credit Agreement, on July 22, 2020, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Madden Entities”) entered into an Amended and Restated Deferred Purchase Factoring Agreement (the “Factoring Agreement”) with Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. ("Rosenthal"). Pursuant to the Factoring Agreement, Rosenthal serves as the collection agent with respect to certain receivables of the Madden Entities and is entitled to receive a base commission of 0.20% of the gross invoice amount of each receivable assigned for collection, plus certain additional fees and expenses, subject to certain minimum annual commissions. Rosenthal will generally assume the credit risk resulting from a customer’s financial inability to make payment of credit-approved receivables, which are classified as Factor Receivables. The initial term of the Factoring Agreement is twelve months, subject to automatic renewal for additional twelve-month periods, and the Factoring Agreement may be terminated at any time by Rosenthal or the Madden Entities on 60 days' notice and upon the occurrence of certain other events. The Madden Entities pledged all of their rights under the Factoring Agreement to the Agent under the Credit Agreement to secure obligations arising under the Credit Agreement.

On April 3, 2023, in conjunction with a related amendment to the Credit Agreement, the Madden Entities also entered into a Credit Approved Receivables Purchasing Agreement (the “CARPA”) with CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc. (“CIT”). Pursuant to the CARPA, in addition to Rosenthal, CIT will serve as a non-exclusive collection agent with respect to certain of the Madden Entities’ receivables and will generally assume the credit risk resulting from a customer’s financial inability to make payment with respect to credit approved receivables. Additionally, CIT shall compensate the Madden Entities for 50% of the losses sustained for limiting or revoking a credit line during production for any made-to-order goods that have work-in-progress coverage. For its services, CIT will be entitled to receive (1) a base fee of 0.15% of the gross face amount of each receivable assigned for collection having standard payment terms, (2) certain additional fees for receivables with non-standard payment terms or arising from sales to customers outside of the United States, and (3) reimbursement for certain expenses incurred in connection with the CARPA. The Company, on behalf of the Madden Entities, and CIT may each terminate the CARPA as of the last day of the month occurring one year after the date of the CARPA and at any time thereafter by giving the other party at least 60 days’ notice. CIT may also terminate the CARPA immediately upon the occurrence of certain events. The Madden Entities pledged all of their right, title and interest in and to monies due and to become due under the CARPA in favor of the Agent to secure obligations arising under or in connection with the Credit Agreement.

As of January 2023, the Company no longer serves as a buying agent for any of its customers, and as a result no longer reports under the First Cost segment. This change is not considered to have a material or meaningful impact on the Company's operations. Our Wholesale Footwear segment designs, sources, and markets our brands and sells our products to department stores, mass merchants, off-price retailers, shoe chains, online retailers, national chains, specialty retailers, independent stores, and clubs throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe, and through our joint ventures and international distributor network.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

($ in thousands, except for number of stores)

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Consolidated:

Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased 17.1% to $463,834 compared to $559,734 in the same period of last year, due to decreases in the Wholesale business and to a lesser extent, a decline in the Direct-to-Consumer business. Gross profit was $195,092, or 42.1% of total revenue, as compared to $227,898, or 40.7% of total revenue, in the prior-year period. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of total revenue was primarily driven by gross margin expansion in the Wholesale Accessories/Apparel segment and a higher penetration of our Direct-to-Consumer business. Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2023 were $148,581, or 32.0% of total revenue, as compared to $130,002, or 23.2% of total revenue, in the first quarter of the prior year. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue was primarily attributable to deleveraging of expenses on a lower revenue base, a benefit in the valuation of our contingent consideration in the prior year period, as well as an increase in payroll related expenses, advertising expenses, and occupancy costs. Income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased to $46,511, or 10.0% of total revenue, as compared to $97,896, or 17.5% of total revenue, in the prior-year period. The effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2023 was 24.2% compared to 23.8% in the first quarter of last year. The difference in effective tax rate was primarily due to the expected jurisdictional mix of profit and losses from each period. Net income attributable to Steven Madden, Ltd. for the first quarter of 2023 was $36,730 compared to $74,513 in the first quarter of 2022.

Wholesale Footwear Segment:

Revenue from the Wholesale Footwear segment in the first quarter of 2023 accounted for $282,321, or 60.9% of total revenue, as compared to $346,715, or 61.9% of total revenue, in the first quarter of 2022. Wholesale Footwear revenue decreased 18.6% compared to the first quarter of 2022, when Wholesale Footwear revenue increased 25.4% versus pre-COVID first quarter of 2019. Gross profit was $107,522, or 38.1% of Wholesale Footwear revenue, in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to $134,074, or 38.7% of Wholesale Footwear revenue, in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to higher markdown allowances partially offset by lower freight expenses and a lower penetration of our private label business. Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2023 were $45,466, or 16.1% of Wholesale Footwear revenue, as compared to $39,983, or 11.5% of Wholesale Footwear revenue, in the first quarter of the prior year. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of Wholesale Footwear revenue was primarily attributable to deleveraging expenses on a lower revenue base, and an increase in payroll related expenses. Income from operations decreased to $62,056, or 22.0% of Wholesale Footwear revenue, in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to $94,091, or 27.1% of Wholesale Footwear revenue in the first quarter of the prior year.

Wholesale Accessories/Apparel Segment:

Revenue from the Wholesale Accessories/Apparel segment in the first quarter of 2023 accounted for $79,816, or 17.2% of total revenue, as compared to $102,283, or 18.3% of total revenue, in the first quarter of 2022. Wholesale Accessories/Apparel revenue decreased 22.0% compared to the first quarter of 2022, when Wholesale Accessories/Apparel revenue increased 43.0% versus pre-COVID first quarter of 2019. Gross profit was $26,514, or 33.2% of Wholesale Accessories/Apparel revenue, in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to $23,914, or 23.4% of Wholesale Accessories/Apparel revenue, in the first quarter of the prior year. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was due to a reduction in markdown allowances, lower freight expenses, a lower penetration of our private label business, and improved production costs. Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2023 were $17,076, or 21.4% of Wholesale Accessories/Apparel revenue, as compared to $12,543, or 12.3% of Wholesale Accessories/Apparel revenue, in the first quarter of the prior year. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of Wholesale Accessories/Apparel revenue was primarily attributable to deleveraging of expenses on a lower revenue base and a benefit in the valuation of our contingent consideration in the prior year period. Income from operations for the Wholesale Accessories/Apparel segment in the first quarter of 2023 was $9,438, or 11.8% of Wholesale Accessories/Apparel revenue, as compared to $11,371, or 11.1% of Wholesale Accessories/Apparel revenue in the first quarter of the prior year.

22

Direct-to-Consumer Segment:

In the first quarter of 2023, revenue from the Direct-to-Consumer segment accounted for $99,600, or 21.5% of total revenue, as compared to $108,346, or 19.4% of total revenue, in the first quarter of 2022. Revenue decreased 8.1% compared to the prior year period, driven by declines in both of our brick-and-mortar and e-commerce businesses. As of March 31, 2023, we operated 235 brick-and-mortar stores and five e-commerce websites compared to 213 brick-and-mortar stores and six e-commerce websites as of March 31, 2022. In addition, we operated 21 concessions in international markets as of March 31, 2023 compared to 19 concessions in international markets as of March 31, 2022. Gross profit in the first quarter of 2023 was $58,959, or 59.2% of Direct-to-Consumer revenue, compared to $67,520, or 62.3% of Direct-to-Consumer revenue, in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to an increase in promotional activity. Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2023 were $63,206, or 63.5% of Direct-to-Consumer revenue, as compared to $55,209, or 51.0% of Direct-to-Consumer revenue, in the first quarter of 2022. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to deleveraging of expenses on a lower revenue base, an increase in payroll related expenses, occupancy costs and our continued investment in digital marketing. In the first quarter of 2023, loss from operations for the Direct-to-Consumer segment was $4,247, or (4.3)% of Direct-to-Consumer revenue, as compared to income from operations of $12,311, or 11.4% of Direct-to-Consumer revenue in the first quarter of the prior year.

First Cost Segment:

As of January 2023, the Company no longer serves as a buying agent for any of its customers, and as a result no longer reports under the First Cost segment. This change is not considered to have a material or meaningful impact on the Company's operations. In the first quarter of 2022, commission income generated by the First Cost segment was $837, operating expenses were $242, and income from operations was $595.

Licensing Segment:

Royalty income generated by the Licensing segment accounted for $2,097, or 0.5% of total revenue, in the first quarter of 2023 compared to $1,553, or 0.3% of total revenue, in the first quarter of 2022. Royalty income increased 35.0% compared to the prior year period driven by an increase in Steve Madden licensed businesses. Operating expenses were $279 in the current period compared to $518 in the same period of last year. In the first quarter of 2023, income from operations for the Licensing segment was $1,818 as compared to $1,035 in the same period last year.

Corporate:

Corporate does not constitute a reportable segment and includes costs not directly attributable to the segments. These costs are primarily related to expenses associated with corporate executives, corporate finance, corporate social responsibility, legal, human resources, information technology, cyber security, and other shared services. Corporate operating expenses were $22,554 or 4.9% of total revenue in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to $21,507, or 3.8% of total revenue, in the first quarter of 2022.

23

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $223,719 and $289,798 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Of the total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of March 31, 2023, $129,007, or approximately 58%, was held in our foreign subsidiaries, and of the total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments on December 31, 2022, $133,729, or approximately 46%, was held in our foreign subsidiaries.

On July 22, 2020, we entered into a $150,000, five-year, asset-based revolving credit facility with various lenders and Citizens Bank, N.A. On March 25, 2022, we entered into an amendment to the revolving credit facility, which replaced the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) with the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index (“BSBY”) as the interest rate benchmark, among other changes.

As of March 31, 2023, we had working capital of $510,791, cash and cash equivalents of $209,979, short-term investments of $13,740, no cash borrowing and $504 in letters of credit outstanding unrelated to the Credit Agreement.

We believe that based on our current financial position and available cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, we will meet all our financial commitments and operating needs for at least the next twelve months. In addition, our $150,000 asset-based revolving credit facility provides us with additional liquidity and flexibility on a long-term basis.

Cash Flows

A summary of our cash provided by and used in operating, investing, and financing activities was as follows:

Operating Activities

Cash used in operations was $13,275 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $19,446 in the same period of last year. The decrease in cash used in operations was primarily driven by less cash used in accounts payable and accrued expenses and inventory partially offset by unfavorable changes in net income, receivables, and prepaid expenses.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $2,426 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, which consisted of purchases of $6,722 in short-term investments offset by cash received of $8,087 from the maturities and sales of short-term investments. We also made capital expenditures of $3,791, principally for leasehold improvements to office space, new stores and systems enhancements.

Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in financing activities was $49,740, which primarily consisted of share repurchases of $38,451 and cash dividends paid of $16,039.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2023 were as follows:

	Payment due by period
Contractual Obligations	Total		Remainder of 2023		2024-2025		2026-2027		2028 and after
Operating lease obligations	$	144,353	$	30,113	$	62,933	$	35,449	$	15,858
Purchase obligations	287,909		287,810		99		—		—
Future minimum royalty and advertising payments	21,625		3,625		12,000		6,000		—
Transition tax	11,721		2,930		8,791		—		—
Total	$	465,608	$	324,478	$	83,823	$	41,449	$	15,858

Substantially all our products are produced by independent manufacturers at overseas locations, the majority of which are located in China, with a growing percentage located in Cambodia, Mexico, Brazil and some European nations. We have not entered into any long-term manufacturing or supply contracts with any of these foreign manufacturers. We believe that a

24

sufficient number of alternative sources exist outside of the United States for the manufacture of our products. Purchases are made primarily in United States dollars.

We have employment agreements with our Creative and Design Chief, Steven Madden, and certain executive officers, which provide for the payment of compensation aggregating to approximately $7,446 in the remainder of 2023, $8,998 in 2024, and $7,851 in 2025. In addition, some of these employment agreements provide for discretionary bonuses and some provide for incentive compensation based on various performance criteria as well as other benefits, including stock-related compensation.

Transition tax of $11,721 was the result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Tax Act"). Excluded from the contractual obligations table above are long-term taxes payable of $1,145 as of March 31, 2023 primarily related to uncertain tax positions, for which we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of payments in individual years beyond one year due to uncertainties in the timing of tax audit outcomes.

Dividends

On May 8, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend. The quarterly dividend of $0.21 per share is payable on June 23, 2023 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 12, 2023.

Future quarterly cash dividend payments are subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and contingent upon future earnings, our financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions, and other factors. Therefore, we can give no assurance that cash dividends will be paid to holders of our common stock in the future.

Inflation

Actual results could be negatively and materially impacted due to risks and uncertainties, including the impacts of inflationary pressures globally and the war in Ukraine and its broader macroeconomic implications. Consumer spending has been and may continue to be negatively impacted by inflationary pressures, and other macroeconomic and geopolitical factors. All these factors have negatively impacted, and might continue to negatively impact, our direct sales to end consumers and our sales to our wholesale customers. Historically, we have minimized the impact of product, wages and logistic cost increases by raising prices, renegotiating costs, changing suppliers, and improving operating efficiencies. However, no assurance can be given that we will be able to offset such inflationary cost increases in the future.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In addition to the commitments included in the Contractual Obligations table above, we have outstanding letters of credit of $504 outstanding as of March 31, 2023 related to the purchase of inventory. These letters of credit expire at various dates through 2030.

We do not maintain any other off-balance sheet arrangements, transactions, obligations, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities that would be expected to have a material current or future effect on our consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note L – Commitments, Contingencies and Other to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for further information.

Critical Accounting Policies and the Use of Estimates

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and the use of estimates from these disclosures reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2023.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

($ in thousands)

Interest Rate Risk

We do not engage in the trading of market risk sensitive instruments in the normal course of business. Our financing arrangements are subject to variable interest rates, primarily based on the prime rate and the BSBY. The terms of our $150,000 asset-based revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) and our collection agency agreements with Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. and CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc. can be found in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of Item 2 and in Note N – Credit Agreement and Note O – Factoring Agreements, respectively, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report. Because we had no cash borrowings under the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2023, a 10% change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, would have an immaterial effect on our reported interest expense.

As of March 31, 2023, we held short-term investments valued at $13,740, which consist of certificates of deposit. We have the ability to hold these investments until maturity.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We face market risk to the extent that our U.S. or foreign operations involve the transaction of business in foreign currencies. In addition, our inventory purchases are primarily done in foreign jurisdictions and inventory purchases may be impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the local currencies of our contract manufacturers, which could have the effect of increasing the cost of goods sold in the future. We manage these risks primarily by denominating these purchases in U.S. dollars. To mitigate the risk of purchases, that are denominated in foreign currencies, we may enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for terms of no more than two years. A description of our accounting policies for derivative financial instruments is included in Note K – Derivative Instruments to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of March 31, 2023, we had entered into forward foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $77,084. We performed a sensitivity analysis based on a model that measures the impact of a hypothetical change in foreign currency exchange rates to determine the effects that market risk exposures may have on the fair values of our forward foreign exchange contracts that were outstanding as of March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, a 10% increase or decrease of the U.S. dollar against the exchange rates for foreign currencies under forward foreign exchange contracts, with all other variables held constant, would result in a net increase or decrease in the fair value of our derivatives portfolio of approximately $9,891.

In addition, we are exposed to translation risk in connection with our foreign operations in Canada, Mexico, Europe, South Africa, China, Taiwan, Israel, Malaysia, and the Middle East because our subsidiaries and joint ventures in these countries utilize the local currency as their functional currency, and those financial results are translated into U.S. dollars. As currency exchange rates fluctuate, foreign currency exchange rate translation adjustments reflected in our financial statements with respect to our foreign operations affects the comparability of financial results between years.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were, as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report, effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated our internal controls over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the quarter covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

27

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the ordinary course of business, we have various pending cases involving contractual disputes, employee-related matters, distribution matters, product liability claims, intellectual property infringement and other matters. In the opinion of management, after consulting with legal counsel, the liabilities, if any, resulting from these legal proceedings should not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You are encouraged to review the discussion of Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors appearing in this report at Part I, “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

In addition to the other information set forth in this Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2023 (the “2022 Form 10-K”) which could materially affect our business, financial condition, operating results, earnings or stock price, in various ways. The risks described in the 2022 Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

($ in thousands, except par value and per share data)

The following table presents the total number of shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, purchased by us in the three months ended March 31, 2023, the average price paid per share, the amount of shares purchased pursuant to our Share Repurchase Program and the approximate dollar value of the shares that still could have been purchased at the end of the fiscal period pursuant to our Share Repurchase Program. See Note F – Share Repurchase Program to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on our Share Repurchase Program. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no sales by us of unregistered shares of common stock.

(1) The Steven Madden, Ltd. 2019 Incentive Compensation Plan and its predecessor plan, the Steven Madden, Ltd. Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, each provide us with the right to deduct or withhold, or require employees to remit to us, an amount sufficient to satisfy all or part of the tax-withholding obligations applicable to stock-based compensation awards. To the extent permitted, participants may elect to satisfy all or part of such withholding obligations and the cost of the option by tendering to us previously owned shares or by having us withhold shares having a fair market value equal to the minimum statutory tax-withholding rate that could be imposed on the transaction. Included in this table are shares withheld during the first quarter of 2023 in connection with the settlement of vested restricted stock to satisfy the cost of options and tax-withholding requirements with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $3,871.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
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 months ended March 31, 2023 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, 2022 included in the Annual Report of Steven Madden, Ltd. on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2023.

Use of Estimates [Abstract]

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, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets and impairment of long-lived assets related to retail stores. 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.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

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.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:

	March 31, 2023								December 31, 2022
	Fair value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Fair value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Forward contracts	1,414		—		1,414		—		916		—		916		—
Total assets	$	1,414	$	—	$	1,414	$	—	$	916	$	—	$	916	$	—
Liabilities:
Forward contracts	2,223		—		2,223		—		1,241		—		1,241		—
Total liabilities	$	2,223	$	—	$	2,223	$	—	$	1,241	$	—	$	1,241	$	—

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

The Company's Level 3 balance consists of contingent consideration related to acquisitions. There were no changes in the Company’s Level 3 liabilities for the period ended March 31, 2023. The changes in the Company's Level 3 liabilities for the period ended December 31, 2022 were as follows:

	Balance at January 1, 2022		Adjustments(1)	Transfer out of Level 3(2)	Balance at December 31, 2022
Liabilities:
Contingent consideration	$	6,960	(5,807)	(1,153)	$	—

(1) In 2022, amount consists of an adjustment of $(5,807) that was included as a benefit in operating expenses, related to the change in valuation of the contingent consideration in connection with the acquisition of B.B. Dakota, Inc.

(2) On December 31, 2022, the transfer out of Level 3 amount of $1,153, which was recorded in the current portion of our contingent payment liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, represented the current portion of our contingent liabilities and was measured at the amount payable based on actual EBITDA performance for the related performance period. At March 31, 2023, the amount of $1,153 was recorded in the current portion of our contingent payment liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the amount will be paid later this year.

At March 31, 2023, the liability for contingent consideration was $1,153 in connection with the August 12, 2019 acquisition of B.B. Dakota, Inc. Pursuant to the terms of an earn-out provision contained in the equity purchase agreement between the Company and the sellers of B.B. Dakota, Inc., the earn-out payments are based on EBITDA performance for the related performance period.

The fair values of trademarks 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 J – 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 E – 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.

Equity [Abstract]

Share Repurchase Program [Text Block]

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 months ended March 31, 2023, an aggregate of 967 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 $35.77, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $34,580. As of March 31, 2023, approximately $59,818 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 (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 months ended March 31, 2023, an aggregate of 108 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 $35.96, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $3,871.

Net Income Per Share of Common Stock

Net Income Per Share of Common Stock [Abstract]

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 2,161 shares for the period ended March 31, 2023, compared to 2,970 shares for the period ended March 31, 2022. 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 vesting are deemed to be the amount of compensation cost not yet recognized attributable to future services using the treasury stock method, to the extent dilutive.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023	2022
Weighted average common shares outstanding:
Basic	74,498	77,251
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock awards and options to purchase shares of common stock	1,357	2,412
Diluted	75,855	79,663

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, options to purchase approximately 6 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 months ended March 31, 2022, options to purchase approximately 5 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 months ended March 31, 2023, 58 restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share, as compared to approximately 18 shares that were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2023 and 2022 and, therefore, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The maximum number of potentially dilutive shares that could be issued upon vesting for these performance awards was approximately 0 and 12 as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These amounts were also excluded from the computation of weighted average potentially dilutive securities.

The Company evaluates its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for indicators of impairment at least annually in the third quarter of each year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. A qualitative assessment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets was performed as of July 1, 2022. In conducting the qualitative impairment assessment for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair values of its reporting units exceeded their carrying values and the fair values of its indefinite-lived intangibles exceeded their respective carrying values. Therefore, in 2022, as a result of the annual test, no impairment charges were recorded for goodwill and intangibles.

The amortization of intangible assets amounted to $423 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $2,315 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and is included in operating expenses on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The estimated future amortization expense for intangibles as of March 31, 2023 was as follows:

2023 (remaining nine months)	$	1,259
2024	1,678
2025	1,678

The Company operates the following operating segments, which are presented as reportable segments: Wholesale Footwear, Wholesale Accessories/Apparel, Direct-to-Consumer, and Licensing. As of January 2023, the Company no longer serves as a buying agent for any of its customers, and as a result no longer reports under the First Cost segment. This change is not considered to have a material or meaningful impact on the Company's operations. Our Wholesale Footwear segment designs, sources, and markets our brands and sells our products to department stores, mass merchants, off-price retailers, shoe chains, online retailers, national chains, specialty retailers, independent stores, and clubs throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe, and through our joint ventures and international distributor network. Our Wholesale Accessories/Apparel segment designs, sources, and markets our brands and sells our products to department stores, mass merchants, off-price retailers, online retailers, specialty retailers, independent stores and clubs throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe and through our joint ventures and international distributor network. Our Direct-to-Consumer segment, which was referred to as the Retail segment in previous filings, consists of Steve Madden® and Dolce Vita® full-price retail stores, Steve Madden® outlet stores, and our directly-operated digital e-commerce websites. Our retail stores are located in regional malls and shopping centers, as well as high streets in major cities across the United States, Canada, Mexico, Israel, South Africa, Taiwan, China, and the Middle East.

Debt

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2023

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

Debt Disclosure

On July 22, 2020, the Company entered into a $150,000 secured revolving credit agreement (as amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”) with various lenders and Citizens Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Agent”), which replaced the Company’s existing credit facility provided by Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. (“Rosenthal”). The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) scheduled to mature on July 22, 2025.

The initial $150,000 maximum availability under the Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base calculation consisting of certain eligible accounts receivable, credit card receivables, inventory, and in-transit inventory. Availability under the Credit Facility is reduced by outstanding letters of credit. The Company may from time-to-time increase the maximum availability under the Credit Agreement by up to $100,000 if certain conditions are satisfied.

On March 25, 2022, an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) replaced the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) with the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index (“BSBY”) as the interest rate benchmark. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement generally bear interest at a variable rate equal to a specified margin, which is based upon the average availability under the Credit Facility from time to time, plus, at the Company’s election (i) BSBY for the applicable interest period or (ii) the base rate (which is the highest of (a) the prime rate announced by the Agent, (b) the sum of the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, and (c) the sum of the one-month BSBY rate plus 1.00%). Furthermore, the Amendment reduced the specified margin used to determine the interest rate under the Credit Agreement and reduced the commitment fee paid by the Company to the Agent, for the account of each lender. Additionally, the Amendment reduced the frequency of the Company’s borrowing base reporting requirements when no loans are outstanding. The Amendment also extended the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to March 20, 2027.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company must also pay (i) a commitment fee to the Agent, for the account of each lender, which accrues at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum on the average daily unused amount of the commitment of such lender, (ii) a letter of credit participation fee to the Agent, for the account of each lender, ranging from 1.25% to 2.50% per annum, based upon average availability under the Credit Facility from time to time, multiplied by the average daily amount available to be drawn under the applicable letter of credit, and (iii) a letter of credit fronting fee to each issuer of a letter of credit under the Credit Agreement, which will accrue at a rate per annum separately agreed upon between the Company and such issuer.

The Credit Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries. Among other requirements, availability under the Credit Facility must, at all times, (i) prior to the occurrence of the permanent borrowing base trigger (as defined in the Credit Agreement), equal or exceed the greater of $22,500 and 15% of the line cap (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and (ii) after the occurrence of the permanent borrowing base trigger, equal or exceed the greater of $15,000 and 10% of the line cap (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Other than this minimum availability requirement, the Credit Agreement does not include any financial maintenance covenants.

The Credit Agreement requires the Company and various subsidiaries of the Company to guarantee each other’s obligations arising from time to time under the Credit Facility, as well as obligations arising in respect of certain cash management and hedging transactions. Subject to customary exceptions and limitations, all borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by a lien on all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and each subsidiary guarantor.

The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. If an event of default under the Credit Agreement occurs and is continuing, then the Agent may, and at the request of the required lenders shall, terminate the loan commitments under the

Credit Agreement, declare any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable or require the Company to adequately cash collateralize outstanding letter of credit obligations. If the Company or, with certain exceptions, a subsidiary becomes the subject of a proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, then the loan commitments under the Credit Agreement will automatically terminate, and any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement and the cash collateral required under the Credit Agreement for any outstanding letter of credit obligations will become immediately due and payable.As of March 31, 2023, the Company had no cash borrowings and no letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement
