17. REVENUE

 

Nature of Performance Obligations

 

Our products are distributed through three distinct channels, which represent our business segments: Wholesale, Retail and Contract Manufacturing. In our Wholesale business, we distribute our products through a wide range of distribution channels representing over 10,000 retail store locations in the U.S., the U.K. and other international markets such as Europe. Our Wholesale channels vary by product line and include sporting goods stores, outdoor retailers, independent shoe retailers, hardware stores, catalogs, mass merchants, uniform stores, farm store chains, specialty safety stores, specialty retailers and online retailers. Our Retail business includes direct sales of our products to consumers through our business-to-business web platform, e-Commerce websites, third-party marketplaces and our Rocky Outdoor Gear Store. Our Contract Manufacturing segment includes sales to the U.S. Military, private label sales and any sales to customers in which we are contracted to manufacture or source a specific footwear product for a customer.

 

Significant Accounting Policies and Judgements

 

Revenue is recognized when the performance obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied. The performance obligation is satisfied, and revenue is recorded when control passes to the customer which is generally upon shipment to the customer or at the time of sale for our retail store customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for the transfer of our products, which is the net sales price.

 

The net sales price includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established. Components of variable consideration include discounts and allowances, customer rebates, markdowns, and product returns. These reserves are based on the amounts earned, or to be claimed, on the related sales of our products.

 

Elements of variable consideration including discounts and allowances and rebates are determined at contract inception and are reassessed at each reporting date, at a minimum, to reflect any change in the types of variable consideration offered to the customer. We determine estimates of variable consideration based on evaluations of each type of variable consideration and customer contract, historical and anticipated trends, and current economic conditions. Overall, these reserves reflect our best estimates of the amount of consideration to be earned on the related sales. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received  may differ from our estimates. If actual results in the future vary from our estimates, we will adjust these estimates, which would affect net revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known.

 

Our estimated sales returns are based on historical customer return data and known or anticipated returns not yet received from customers. Actual returns in any future period are inherently uncertain and thus may differ from estimates recorded. If actual or expected future returns are significantly higher or lower than the established reserves, a reduction or increase to net revenues is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.

 

Current contract receivables represent contractual minimum payments required under non-cancellable contracts with the U.S. Military and other customers with a duration of one year or less.

 

Current contract liabilities are performance obligations that we expect to satisfy or relieve within the next twelve months, advance consideration obtained prior to satisfying a performance obligation, or unconditional obligations to provide goods or services under non-cancellable contracts before the transfer of goods or services to the customer has occurred. Our contract liability represents unconditional obligations to provide goods under non-cancellable contracts with the U.S. Military and other customers.

 

As of  December 31, 2024, there are no contract receivable or contract liability balances outstanding.

 

Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on, and concurrent with, a specific revenue producing transaction, that are collected from customers, are excluded from revenue.

 

Costs associated with our manufacturer’s warranty are recognized as expense when the products are sold.

 

Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in operating expenses. All shipping costs billed to customers have been included in net sales.

Disaggregation of Revenue

 

All revenues are recognized at a point in time when control of our products pass to the customer at point of shipment or point of sale for retail store customers. Because all revenues are recognized at a point in time and are disaggregated by channel, our segment disclosures are consistent with disaggregation requirements. See Note 19 - Segment Information for segment disclosures.
