These forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, Skechers\u2019 future domestic and international growth, financial results and operations including expected net sales and earnings, its development of new products, future demand for its products, its planned domestic and international expansion, opening of new stores and additional expenditures, and advertising and marketing initiatives. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking language such as \u201cbelieve,\u201d \u201canticipate,\u201d \u201cexpect,\u201d \u201cestimate,\u201d \u201cintend,\u201d \u201cplan,\u201d \u201cproject,\u201d \u201cwill,\u201d \u201ccould,\u201d \u201cmay,\u201d \u201cmight,\u201d or any variations of such words with similar meanings. Any such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include the disruption of business and operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic; delays or disruptions in our supply chain; international economic, political and market conditions including the effects of inflation and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations around the world, the challenging consumer retail markets in the United States and the impact of Russia\u2019s war of Ukraine; sustaining, managing and forecasting costs and proper inventory levels; losing any significant customers; decreased demand by industry retailers and cancellation of order commitments due to the lack of popularity of particular designs and\/or categories of products; maintaining brand image and intense competition among sellers of footwear for consumers, especially in the highly competitive performance footwear market; anticipating, identifying, interpreting or forecasting changes in fashion trends, consumer demand for the products and the various market factors described above; sales levels during the spring, back-to-school and holiday selling seasons; and other factors referenced or incorporated by reference in Skechers\u2019 annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Taking these and other risk factors associated with the COVID-19 pandemic into consideration, the dynamic nature of these circumstances means that what is stated in this press release could change at any time, and as a result, actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. The risks included here are not exhaustive. Skechers operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time and we cannot predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-lo<\/i><i>oking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. Moreover, reported results should not be considered an indication of future performance.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=bwnews&amp;sty=20230427005054r1&amp;sid=flmnd&amp;distro=nx&amp;lang=en\" style=\"width:0;height:0\" \/><span class=\"bwct31415\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"mmgallerylink\"><span id=\"mmgallerylink-phrase\">View source version on businesswire.com: <\/span><span id=\"mmgallerylink-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20230427005054\/en\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20230427005054\/en\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Corporate Media Contact:<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>Jennifer Clay<br \/>\n<br \/>SKECHERS USA, Inc.<br \/>\n<br \/><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"mailto:jennc@skechers.com\">jennc@skechers.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Skechers Denmark Contact:<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>Glennie M\u00e4kinen Maibom<br \/>\n<br \/><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"mailto:glennie@skechers.dk\">glennie@skechers.dk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>KEYWORDS:<\/b> California Europe Denmark United States North America<\/p>\n<p><b>INDUSTRY KEYWORDS:<\/b> Fashion Footwear Online Retail Retail Convenience Store Department Stores<\/p>\n<p><b>MEDIA:<\/b><\/p>\n<table cellpadding=\"3\" cellspacing=\"3\">\n<tr>\n<td><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><b>Photo<\/b><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mms.businesswire.com\/media\/20230427005054\/en\/1774797\/3\/Skechers_Kongensgade_Esbjerg_Image.jpg\" alt=\"Photo\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">Skechers is acquiring its third-party Scandinavia distributor and its 58 stores to expand the brand\u2019s reach in Europe.
