Rocky Brands, parent of footwear labels Rocky, Georgia Boot and Durango, has reported strong growth in both sales and profitability in the fourth quarter.
The company lifted its net sales by 9.1 per cent to $139.7 million during the quarter ended December 31, extending the 7 per cent increase in the third quarter.
The retail segment powered all of the growth with sales surging 30.8 per cent, while wholesale revenues slid 2.1 per cent.
Income from operations rose 12.8 per cent to $9.6 million, and net income jumped 35.7 per cent to $6.5 million.
“We concluded 2025 with our highest quarterly net sales growth rate for the year in the fourth quarter, reflecting the momentum that has been building in our business,” said Jason Brooks, chairman, president and CEO.
“Our performance during the key holiday selling season was highlighted by strong demand in our direct-to-consumer channel led by Xtratuf, which delivered nearly triple-digit sales growth online.”
For the full year, net sales grew 6.2 per cent to $482 million, and net income nearly doubled to $22.3 million.
“These results contributed to a very good year for our company, especially considering the industry headwinds caused by higher tariffs and deteriorating US consumer sentiment,” added Brooks.
