Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 40.7% compared to 42.7% in the same period of 2021. The decline was driven by a shift in revenue mix from the higher-margin direct-to-consumer business to the lower-margin wholesale business.
Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 28.5% compared to 30.6% in the same period of 2021. Adjusted operating expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 28.2% compared to 29.9% in the second quarter of 2021.
Income from operations totaled $65.2 million, or 12.2% of revenue, compared to $47.7 million, or 12.0% of revenue, in the same period of 2021. Adjusted income from operations totaled $67.0 million, or 12.5% of revenue, compared to $51.0 million, or 12.8% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2021.
Net income attributable to Steven Madden, Ltd. was $48.5 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, compared to $36.9 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, in the same period of 2021. Adjusted net income attributable to Steven Madden, Ltd. was $49.8 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared to $39.7 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2021.

 

Edward Rosenfeld, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We delivered strong results in the second quarter, with revenue and earnings growing robustly compared to the prior year and exceeding our expectations. While macro pressures have increased, making the near-term outlook more uncertain, we are confident that our core strengths – our people, brands and business model – leave us well-positioned to drive growth and create significant value for our stakeholders over the long term.”

 

Second Quarter 2022 Channel Results

 

Revenue for the wholesale business was $397.1 million, a 51.5% increase compared to the second quarter of 2021, with a 47.1% increase in wholesale footwear and a 65.2% increase in wholesale accessories/apparel.
