Q1 FY26 earnings call · Apr 28, 2026TL;DR. Rocky Brands posted 9.1% Q1 net sales growth to $124.4 million, but gross margin fell 470 bps to 36.5% on roughly $7.1 million in incremental tariffs, driving a ~75% drop in GAAP EPS to $0.17; full-year guidance is reiterated, though Q2 EPS is now expected to be down ~$0.20 year-over-year due to a tariff timing shift.
- + Q1 net sales rose 9.1% to $124.4 million, the second consecutive quarter of ~9% growth.
- + Inventories declined 1.6% YoY and 4.7% sequentially, supporting growth while debt fell 5%.
- + Full-year 2026 guidance is reiterated, including ~6% revenue growth and low-teens EPS growth, with tariffs expected to lessen from Q2 and gross margins set to return above 40% in the back half.
- − Gross margin fell 470 bps to 36.5%, with ~$7.1 million in higher tariffs driving the decline.
- − Income from operations fell 58.2% to $3.6 million as the tariff hit compressed operating leverage.
- − Q2 EPS is now expected to be down roughly $0.20 year-over-year as ~$1 million in incremental tariffs shifted from Q1 into Q2, making the Q2 profit improvement less meaningful than initially expected.
- − Georgia Boot posted a slight single-digit decline, with wholesale orders timing-shifting into Q2.
- − Section 301 tariff investigations later this summer and ongoing freight/fuel surcharge pressure are flagged as risks to monitor.

Capital returns
Dividends per share over the trailing 365 days by ex-date · buyback figures as last reported in SEC filings ("spent" derived as authorized − remaining; when several programs run concurrently, authorized is their combined total per the newest filing) · components shown separately — trailing-year buyback spend isn't tracked, so no combined shareholder yield is derived.
