Edward

Rosenfeld, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We got off to a solid start to the year in the first quarter, with

healthy underlying demand across our brands driven by compelling product assortments and strong marketing execution.

The

Steve Madden brand continued to gain momentum, as consumers responded favorably to our on-trend assortments, resulting in strong comps

in our direct-to-consumer business and robust sell-through performance in wholesale. The Kurt Geiger London brand also delivered another

strong quarter, with continued momentum across channels.

While

earnings declined in the first quarter, we expect to return to earnings growth in the second quarter and deliver strong top- and bottom-line

growth for the full year. Looking out further, we are confident that our powerful brands, proven business model and talented team position

us to deliver sustainable growth for years to come.”

First

Quarter 2026 Channel Results

Revenue

for the wholesale business in the first quarter of 2026 was $443.6 million, a 1.0% increase compared to the first quarter of 2025. Excluding

Kurt Geiger, wholesale revenue declined 8.2%. Wholesale footwear revenue decreased 5.8%, or 12.0% excluding Kurt Geiger. Wholesale accessories/apparel

revenue increased 15.1%, or decreased 0.5% excluding Kurt Geiger. Gross profit as a percentage of wholesale revenue was 49.2% in the

first quarter of 2026, compared to 35.7% in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of wholesale revenue was

39.2%, compared to 35.7% in the first quarter of 2025, due to higher average selling prices as well as mix benefits from the addition

of the Kurt Geiger business and a lower penetration of private label.

Direct-to-consumer

revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $206.0 million, an 83.8% increase compared to the first quarter of 2025. Excluding Kurt Geiger,

direct-to-consumer revenue increased 8.0%. Gross profit as a percentage of direct-to-consumer revenue was 65.9%, compared to 60.1% in

the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of direct-to-consumer revenue was 60.8%, compared to 60.1% in the first

quarter of 2025, as a result of the addition of the Kurt Geiger business as well as a modest increase in the organic business.

The

Company ended the quarter with 387 Company-operated brick-and-mortar retail stores, including 95 outlets, as well as eight e-commerce

websites and 162 Company-operated concessions in international markets.
