Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Operating Segment Information | Note 19 – Operating Segment Information The Company has determined its reportable operating segments based on the internal management structure used by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (or “CODM”), who is its Chief Executive Officer, to evaluate performance and allocate resources. This structure organizes the business into distinct categories based on product types and sales channels. The Company’s reportable operating segments consist of the following: •Wholesale Footwear. This segment designs, sources, and markets our brands and sells our products to department stores, mass merchants, off-price retailers, shoe chains, online retailers, national chains, specialty retailers, independent stores, and clubs throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe, and through our joint ventures and international distributor network. •Wholesale Accessories/Apparel. This segment designs, sources, and markets our brands and sells our products, primarily consisting of handbags and apparel, to department stores, mass merchants, off-price retailers, online retailers, specialty retailers, independent stores, and clubs throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe, and through our joint ventures and international distributor network. •Direct-to-Consumer. This segment engages in the sale of footwear, handbags, apparel, and other accessories through Steve Madden and Dolce Vita full-price retail stores, Steve Madden outlet stores, directly-operated concessions in international markets, and directly-operated e-commerce websites. We operate retail locations in regional malls and shopping centers, as well as high streets in various cities across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and other international markets through our joint ventures. •Licensing. This segment engages in the licensing of the Steve Madden and Betsey Johnson® trademarks for use in the sale of select apparel, accessories, and home categories as well as various other non-core products. As of January 2023, the Company no longer serves as a buying agent for any of its customers, and as a result no longer reports under the First Cost segment. This change is not considered to have a material or meaningful impact on the Company's operations. In addition, the Company has certain corporate-related costs (“Corporate costs” or “Corporate”) that are not directly attributable to its reportable operating segments. Accordingly, these corporate-related costs do not constitute a reportable segment. These costs are primarily associated with corporate executives, corporate finance, corporate social responsibility, legal, human resources, information technology, cybersecurity, and other shared services. The Company’s CODM evaluates financial performance based primarily on gross profit and income from operations for each reportable operating segment. Gross profit is defined as revenue less cost of goods sold. Income from operations is defined as profit or loss from operations before interest and other income, net and income taxes. Gross profit is a key measure for assessing the efficiency of the segment in producing its products or services, focusing on the direct costs associated with production. Income from operations is a key measure for understanding the overall financial performance of each segment, taking into account both direct operational costs and indirect expenses. These measures are used together to evaluate segment performance and determine the appropriate allocation of resources to each segment. The Company’s CODM does not evaluate the financial performance of each segment based on its respective assets or capital expenditures, and therefore, the Company does not report this information. The following tables set forth information related to the Company's segments:
