Risk Change Over Time
- Capital Markets - Risk 1Additional tariffs on product imported into the U.S., retaliatory trade actions taken by other countries and resulting trade wars may have a material adverse impact on our business.
Our business is subject to risks related to tariffs and other trade policies put in place by the U.S. or other countries. In 2025, the U.S. government announced the intention to impose additional tariffs on certain goods imported from numerous countries, and multiple nations, including China, responded with reciprocal tariffs and other trade actions. A substantial amount of our products are imported into the U.S. from China, India, and other Asian countries. The recent enactment of incremental tariffs by the U.S. government, along with the unpredictability of the rates, may materially increase our costs and reduce our margins. The tariffs may also lead to higher pricing for our products, potentially reducing consumer demand and impacting our sales volume. We are actively monitoring the impact of any tariffs that become effective, as well as potential retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries. We are currently analyzing strategies that can be taken to moderate or minimize the effects of these trade actions, including evaluating the country of origin for sourcing product into the U.S., negotiating with suppliers and adjusting our pricing strategies. However, there can be no assurance that these measures will be successful, or that they will offset the negative impact of the tariffs on our business. Given the uncertainty regarding the scope and duration of current and potential tariffs, as well as the potential for additional trade actions by the U.S. or other countries, the specific impact to our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition is uncertain but could be material.

- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1The Company could be negatively impacted by stakeholder reactions to our ESG initiatives.
In recent years, there has been increased focus on ESG matters by certain consumers, investors, employees, and other stakeholders, as well as by governmental and non-governmental organizations. Some organizations measure the performance of companies on ESG topics, and the results of these assessments may be widely publicized. In addition, some investment funds specialize in companies that perform well in such assessments. We have undertaken, and plan to continue undertaking, ESG initiatives. Any failure by us to meet our commitments, or loss of confidence on the part of customers, investors, employees, brand partners and other stakeholders as it relates to our ESG initiatives, could negatively impact our brands, business, financial condition, and our operating results. These impacts could be difficult and costly to overcome, even if such concerns were based on inaccurate or misleading information. Achieving our ESG initiatives may result in increased costs in our supply chain, fulfillment, or corporate business operations, and could deviate from our initial estimates and have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. In addition, standards and research regarding ESG initiatives could change and become more onerous both for the Company and our third-party suppliers and vendors to meet successfully. Evolving data and research could undermine or refute the Company's current claims and beliefs that it has made in reliance on current research, which could also result in costs, a decrease in revenue, changes to projections or plans, and negative market perception that could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Further, while we may create and publish voluntary disclosures regarding ESG matters from time to time, many of the statements in those voluntary disclosures are based on hypothetical expectations and assumptions that may or may not be representative of current or actual risks or events or forecasts of expected risks or events, including the costs associated therewith. Such expectations and assumptions are necessarily uncertain and may be prone to error or subject to misinterpretation given the long timelines involved in measuring and reporting on many ESG matters. Furthermore, some stakeholders may disagree with our ESG initiatives and goals, as their views on these topics may change over time. These parties and regulators may also hold divergent opinions on these issues as well as conflicting expectations regarding our culture, values, goals and business, which may affect how we are regulated or perceived. Moreover, we may determine that it is in the best interest of the Company and our shareholders to prioritize other business investments over the achievement of our current ESG goals based on economic, technological developments, regulatory and social factors, business strategy or pressure from investors, activists, or other stakeholders.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2The limited public float and trading volume for our Company's stock may have an adverse impact on the stock price or make it difficult to liquidate.
The Company's common stock is held by a relatively small number of shareholders. The Florsheim family and Company insiders own more than 50% of the stock. Other officers, directors, and members of management own stock or have the potential to own stock through previously granted stock options and restricted stock. Consequently, we have a relatively small public float and low average daily trading volume, which could affect a shareholder's ability to sell stock or the price at which it can be sold. In addition, future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market by large shareholders, or the perception that these sales could occur, may adversely impact the market price of the stock and the stock could be difficult for the shareholder to liquidate.
