\n\u00a0“The momentum we experienced in our business last year carried over into 2026, driving net sales growth of approximately 9% for the second consecutive quarter,” said Jason Brooks, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. \u201cOur first quarter top-line performance was driven by continued strength in XTRATUF and Muck across selling channels, combined with robust demand online for our entire brand portfolio. Profitability was in line with our expectations as we anticipated higher sourcing variances, mainly as a result of increased tariffs of approximately $7.1 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the year-ago-period. These tariffs were partially offset with strong full-price selling, channel mix, and our mitigation actions last year, namely raising prices and diversifying our sourcing, including leveraging our own manufacturing facilities. Moving forward, the impact from higher tariffs begins to lessen in the second quarter which, along with current top-line trends, provides a clear path back to gross margins in the low 40 percent range and improvement in profitability over the second half of the year.”<\/p>\n
First Quarter 2026 Review<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\nFirst quarter net sales increased 9.1% to $124.4 million compared with $114.1 million in the first quarter of 2025. Wholesale segment net sales for the first quarter increased 4.8% to $78.4 million compared to $74.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. Retail segment net sales for the first quarter increased 16.5% to $42.7 million compared to $36.6 million in the first quarter of 2025. Contract Manufacturing segment net sales for the first quarter increased 25.0% to $3.3 million compared to $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n
\nGross margin in the first quarter of 2026 was $45.4 million, or 36.5% of net sales, compared to $47.0 million, or 41.2% of net sales, for the same period last year. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales was attributable to an increase in sourcing variances, mainly tariff-related costs of approximately $7.1 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the year-ago quarter.<\/p>\n
\nOperating expenses were $41.8 million, or 33.6% of net sales, for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $38.3 million, or 33.6% of net sales, for the same period a year ago. Excluding $0.7 million of acquisition-related amortization in the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, adjusted operating expenses were $41.1 million, or 33.0% of net sales, in the current year period and $37.6 million, or 33.0% of net sales, in the year-ago period.<\/p>\n
\nIncome from operations for the first quarter of 2026 was $3.6 million, or 2.9% of net sales, compared to $8.7 million, or 7.6% of net sales, for the same period a year ago. Adjusted income from operations for the first quarter of 2026 was $4.3 million, or 3.5% of net sales, compared to adjusted income from operations of $9.4 million, or 8.2% of net sales, a year ago, reflecting the impact of higher tariffs in the first quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n
\nInterest expense for the first quarter of 2026 was $2.1 million compared with $2.4 million for the prior year period. The decrease in interest expense was driven by lower debt levels.<\/p>\n
\nThe Company reported first quarter of 2026 net income of $1.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $4.9 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2026 was $1.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to $5.5 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, in the year-ago period.<\/p>\n

\nAs of March 31, 2026, total debt, net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.6 million, was $122.2 million, consisting of a $99.1 million senior term loan and $24.7 million of borrowings under the Company’s senior secured asset-backed credit facility.
