Rocky Brands reports Q4 EPS $1.19 , two estimates $1.22

Reports Q4 revenue $128.1M, two estimates $125.4M. “Our sales trends accelerated as the holiday season progressed led by strong consumer demand for our Durango and XTRATUF brands, with particular strength in our direct to consumer channel which fueled our highest ever sales quarter for our Retail reporting segment,” said Jason Brooks, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are pleased with our finish to the year, which included recurring Wholesale sales returning to growth and retail sales increasing over 15% for the fourth quarter. Increased marketing helped fuel our top-line performance as we brought spending back in-line with historical levels after under investing in demand creation in the year ago period. Our fourth quarter momentum has carried into early 2025, providing us with a good start to the year. While the macroeconomic environment remains uncertain, we are cautiously optimistic about our near-term prospects and confident that the substantial reduction in our debt provides us with the financial flexibility to invest in growth and deliver enhanced earnings and greater value for our shareholders.”
