Steven Madden, Ltd. (the “Company”) has determined that it will not be able to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Form 10-K”) by March 1, 2021, the original due date for such filing, without unreasonable effort or expense, due to delays in compiling and reviewing certain information included in the Form 10-K resulting primarily from our employees working remotely because of restrictions arising from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

The Company expects to file the Form 10-K within the extension period of 15 calendar days, as provided under Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company does not expect any changes to previously reported financial results, including the financial results it reported in its press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 25, 2021.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s revenue decreased 32.8% to $1.2 billion from $1.8 billion in 2019. The reduction is revenue was primarily due to the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s wholesale business and brick-and-mortar business, partially offset by continued strength in its e-commerce business.

Net loss attributable to Steven Madden, Ltd. was ($18.4) million, or ($0.23) per basic share, for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to net income attributable to Steven Madden, Ltd. of $141.3 million, or $1.69 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2019.
