ROCKY BRANDS, INC. (RCKY) Form 10-Q — Aug 4, 2026
Rocky Brands reported Q2 2026 net sales of $118.4 million, up 12.0% year-over-year, with net income of $13.9 million, or $1.83 per diluted share, versus $3.6 million, or $0.48, in the year-ago quarter. Growth was broad-based across all three segments, led by Retail sales up 21.8%, and first-half sales rose 10.5% to $242.8 million. The profit jump was driven largely by a one-time item: after the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated certain IEEPA tariffs, the company recognized an $18.0 million benefit as a reduction to cost of goods sold, lifting gross margin to 51.4% of sales from 41.0%.
