FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document contains “forward-looking statements,” which are statements relating to future, not past, events. In this context, forward-looking statements often address management’s current beliefs, assumptions, expectations, estimates and projections about future business and financial performance, national, regional or global political, economic and market conditions, and the Company itself. Such statements often contain words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “is likely,” “plans,” “predicts,” “projects,” “should,” “will,” variations of such words, and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements, by their nature, address matters that are, to varying degrees, uncertain. Uncertainties that could cause the Company’s performance to differ materially from what is expressed in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:

•changes in general economic conditions, employment rates, business conditions, interest rates, tax policies and other factors affecting consumer spending in the markets and regions in which the Company’s products are sold;

•the inability for any reason to effectively compete in global footwear, apparel and direct-to-consumer markets;

•the inability to maintain positive brand images and anticipate, understand and respond to changing footwear and apparel trends and consumer preferences;

•the inability to effectively manage inventory levels;

•increases or changes in duties, tariffs, quotas or applicable assessments in countries of import and export;

•foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;

•currency restrictions;

•supply chain and capacity constraints, production disruptions, including reduction in operating hours, labor shortages, and facility closures resulting in production delays at the Company’s manufacturers, quality issues, price increases or other risks associated with foreign sourcing;

•the cost, including the effect of inflationary pressures and availability of raw materials, inventories, services and labor for contract manufacturers;

•labor disruptions;

•changes in relationships with, including the loss of, significant wholesale customers;

•risks related to the significant investment in, and performance of, the Company’s direct-to-consumer operations;

•risks related to expansion into new markets and complementary product categories as well as direct-to-consumer operations;

•the impact of seasonality and unpredictable weather conditions;

•the impact of changes in general economic conditions and/or the credit markets on the Company’s manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, joint venture partners and wholesale customers;

•changes in the Company’s effective tax rates;

•failure of licensees or distributors to meet planned annual sales goals or to make timely payments to the Company;

•the risks of doing business in developing countries and politically or economically volatile areas;

•the ability to secure and protect owned intellectual property or use licensed intellectual property;

•the impact of regulation, regulatory and legal proceedings and legal compliance risks, including compliance with federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, environmental remediation and other related costs, and litigation or other legal proceedings relating to the protection of the environment or environmental effects on human health;

•risks of breach of the Company’s databases or other systems, or those of its vendors, which contain certain personal information, payment card data or proprietary information, due to cyberattack or other similar events;

•problems affecting the Company's supply chain and distribution system, including service interruptions at shipping and receiving ports;

•strategic actions, including new initiatives and ventures, acquisitions and dispositions, and the Company’s success in integrating acquired businesses, including Sweaty Betty®, and implementing new initiatives and ventures;

•risks related to stockholder activism;

•the potential effects of outbreaks of COVID-19 or future health crises on the Company’s business, operations, financial results and liquidity;

•the risk of impairment to goodwill and other intangibles;

•the success of the Company’s restructuring and realignment initiatives undertaken from time to time; and

•changes in future pension funding requirements and pension expenses.

These or other uncertainties could cause a material difference between an actual outcome and a forward-looking statement. The uncertainties included here are not exhaustive and are described in more detail in Part I, Item 1A: “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”), filed with the SEC on February 22, 2024. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. The Company does not undertake an obligation to update, amend or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

(the “Company”) is a leading designer, marketer and licensor of a broad range of quality casual footwear and apparel; performance outdoor and athletic footwear and apparel; kids’ footwear; industrial work shoes, boots and apparel; and uniform shoes and boots. The Company’s portfolio of owned and licensed brands includes: Bates®, Cat®, Chaco®, Harley-Davidson®, Hush Puppies®, HYTEST®, Merrell®, Saucony®, Stride Rite®, Sweaty Betty® and Wolverine®.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for a complete presentation of the financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in the accompanying financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K.

Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal year is the 52 or 53-week period that ends on the Saturday nearest to December 31. Fiscal years 2024 and 2023 each have 52 weeks. The Company reports its quarterly results of operations on the basis of 13-week quarters for each of the first three fiscal quarters and a 13 or 14-week period for the fourth fiscal quarter. References to particular years or quarters refer to the Company’s fiscal years ended on the Saturday nearest to December 31 or the fiscal quarters within those years.

Seasonality

The Company experiences moderate fluctuations in sales volume during the year, as reflected in quarterly revenue. The Company expects current seasonal sales patterns to continue in future years. The Company also experiences some fluctuation in its levels of working capital, typically reflecting an increase in net working capital requirements near the end of the first and third fiscal quarters as inventory builds to support peak shipping periods. Historically, cash provided by operating activities is higher in the second half of the fiscal year due to collection of wholesale channel receivables and direct-to-consumer sales being higher during the holiday season. The Company meets its working capital requirements through internal operating cash flows and, as needed, borrowings under its revolving credit facility, as discussed in more detail under the caption "Liquidity and Capital Resources" in Item 2: "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations". The Company's working capital could also be impacted by other events, including health crises.

Table of Contents

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or an asset group may not be recoverable. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. Assets are considered impaired if the carrying amount exceeds fair value. The impairment amount recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair value.

In the first quarter of 2024, the Company incurred non-cash impairment charges on the long-lived property, plant and equipment and lease right-of-use assets at the Company’s distribution center in Louisville, Kentucky to adjust the carrying amount of the assets to their estimated fair value. The Louisville distribution center impairment was related to the Company’s transformation activities and actions to consolidate distribution operations. The long-lived assets are not expected to have a fair value after the Company stops using the distribution center.

In the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred non-cash impairment charges on certain Corporate U.S. and Canada office long-lived property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets, primarily resulting from divestiture activities and consolidation of corporate office space, to adjust the carrying amount of the assets to estimated fair value. Fair value was estimated based on the discounted cash flows of estimated rental income from subleases net of estimated expenses.

The following table provides details related to asset impairment charges recorded:


	Quarter Ended				Year-To-Date Ended
(In millions)	June 29, 2024		July 1, 2023		June 29, 2024		July 1, 2023

For the quarter and year-to-date ended June 29, 2024, 1,574,879 and 1,672,689 outstanding stock options, respectively, have not been included in the denominator for the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.

For the quarter and year-to-date ended July 1, 2023, 1,991,262 and 2,080,931 outstanding stock options, respectively, have not been included in the denominator for the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.

4.GOODWILL AND INDEFINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLES

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:


	Year-To-Date Ended
(In millions)	June 29, 2024		July 1, 2023
Goodwill balance at beginning of the year	$	427.1	$	485.0
Sale of business (see Note 18)	—		(20.4)

Foreign currency translation effects	(1.3)		5.1
Goodwill balance at end of the quarter	$	425.8	$	469.7

Goodwill balances are net of accumulated impairment charges. Accumulated impairment charges were $48.4 million as of June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023, and are related to the Sweaty Betty® reporting unit, which is part of the Active segment.

The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets, which comprise trade names and trademarks, totaled $173.4 million, $174.1 million, and $279.2 million as of June 29, 2024, December 30, 2023, and July 1, 2023, respectively. The Company conducted an interim impairment assessment as of June 29, 2024 and determined that there were no triggering events indicating impairment of the Company’s goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Following the fiscal 2023 annual impairment test, the Company concluded that the estimated fair value of the Sweaty Betty® reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by 5%. The key assumptions used in the valuation were revenue growth, EBITDA margin, and the discount rate. Although the Company believes the estimates and assumptions used in the valuation were appropriate, it is possible that assumptions could change in future periods. The risk of future impairment to the Sweaty Betty® trade name and Sweaty Betty® goodwill depend on key assumptions used in the determination of the trade name's and reporting unit's fair value, such as revenue growth, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization margin, discount rate, and assumed tax rate, or if macroeconomic conditions deteriorate and adversely affect the values of the Company's Sweaty Betty® trade name and the Sweaty Betty® reporting unit. A future impairment charge of the Sweaty Betty® trade name and the Sweaty Betty® reporting unit goodwill could have an adverse material effect on the Company's consolidated financial results. The carrying values of the Company’s Sweaty Betty® trade name indefinite-lived intangible asset and the Sweaty Betty® reporting unit goodwill were $98.7 million and $52.6 million, respectively, as of June 29, 2024.

5.ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries sell, on a continuous basis without recourse, their trade receivables to Rockford ARS, LLC (“Rockford ARS”), a wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of the Company. On December 7, 2022, Rockford ARS entered into a receivables purchase agreement (“RPA”), which was subsequently amended on April 15, 2024, to sell up to $125.0 million of receivables to certain purchasers (the “Purchasers”) on a recurring basis in exchange for cash (referred to as “capital” in the RPA) equal to the gross receivables transferred. The parties intend that the transfers of receivables to the Purchasers constitute purchases and sales of receivables. Rockford ARS has guaranteed to each Purchaser the prompt payment of sold receivables, and has granted a security interest in its assets for the benefit of the Purchasers. Under the RPA, which matures on December 5, 2025, each Purchaser’s share of capital accrues yield at a floating rate plus an applicable margin. The Company is the master servicer under the RPA, and is responsible for administering and collecting receivables.

The proceeds of the RPA are classified as operating activities in the Company's consolidated condensed statements of cash flows. Cash received from collections of sold receivables may be used to fund additional purchases of receivables on a revolving basis or to return all or any portion of outstanding capital of the Purchasers. Subsequent collections of the pledged receivables, which have not been sold, are classified as operating cash flows at the time of collection. Total receivables sold under the RPA were $102.7 million and $205.0 million for the quarter and year-to-date ended June 29, 2024, respectively. Total receivables sold under the RPA were $182.4 million and $365.6 million for the quarter and year-to-date ended July 1, 2023, respectively. Total cash collections under the RPA were $104.1 million and $205.8 million in the quarter and year-to-date ended June 29, 2024, respectively. Total cash collections under the RPA were $196.8 million and $372.8 million in the quarter and year-to-date ended July 1, 2023, respectively. The fair value of the sold receivables approximated book value due to their credit quality and short-term nature, and as a result, no gain or loss on sale of receivables was recorded.

As of the fiscal quarters ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023, the amount sold to the Purchasers under the RPA was $93.0 million and $135.5 million, respectively, which was derecognized from the consolidated condensed balance sheets. As collateral against sold receivables, Rockford ARS maintains a certain level of unsold receivables, which were $53.6 million and $68.5 million as of the fiscal quarters ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023, respectively.

6.REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Revenue Recognition and Performance Obligations

The Company reports disaggregated revenue by sales channel, including the wholesale and direct-to-consumer sales channels, reconciled to the Company’s reportable segments. The wholesale channel includes royalty revenues due to the similarity in the Company’s oversight and management, customer base, the performance obligation (footwear and apparel goods) and point in time completion of the performance obligation. The direct-to-consumer sales channel includes sales from the Company’s owned retail stores and from the Company’s owned eCommerce sites.

The Company has agreements to license symbolic intellectual property with minimum guarantees or fixed consideration. The Company was due $39.7 million of remaining fixed transaction price under its license agreements as of June 29, 2024, which it expects to recognize per the terms of its contracts over the course of time through December 2028. The Company has elected to omit the remaining variable consideration under its license agreements given the Company recognizes revenue equal to what it

Table of Contents

has the right to invoice and that amount corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance to date.

Reserves for Variable Consideration

Revenue is recorded at the net sales price (“transaction price”), which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established. Components of variable consideration include trade discounts and allowances, product returns, customer markdowns, customer rebates and other sales incentives relating to the sale of the Company’s products. These reserves, as detailed below, are based on the amounts earned, or to be claimed on the related sales. These estimates take into consideration a range of possible outcomes, which are probability-weighted in accordance with the expected value method for relevant factors such as current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of the respective underlying contracts. Revenue recognized during the fiscal periods presented related to the Company’s contract liabilities was nominal.

The Company’s contract balances are as follows:


(In millions)	June 29, 2024		December 30, 2023		July 1, 2023
Product returns reserve	$	8.4	$	13.1	$	12.2
Customer markdowns reserve	0.4		5.1		4.6
Other sales incentives reserve	2.9		4.2		3.1
Customer rebates liability	8.4		14.7		13.3
Customer advances liability	6.1		6.8		5.7

The amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price may be constrained and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized under the contract will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from initial estimates. If actual results in the future vary from initial estimates, the Company subsequently adjusts these estimates, which affects net revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known.

7.DEBT

Total debt consists of the following obligations:


(In millions)	June 29, 2024		December 30, 2023		July 1, 2023
Term Facility, due October 21, 2026	$	45.0	$	71.7	$	185.0




Senior Notes, 4.000% interest, due August 15, 2029	550.0		550.0		550.0
Borrowings under revolving credit agreements	225.0		305.0		385.0
Unamortized deferred financing costs	(5.3)		(5.9)		(6.5)
Total debt	$	814.7	$	920.8	$	1,113.5

The Company’s Credit Agreement provides for a term loan A facility (the “Term Facility”) and for a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Facility, the “Senior Credit Facilities”). The maturity date of the loans under the Senior Credit Facilities is October 21, 2026. The Credit Agreement provides for a debt capacity of up to an aggregate debt amount (including outstanding term loan principal and revolver commitment amounts in addition to permitted incremental debt) not to exceed $2.0 billion unless certain specified conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement are met.

The Term Facility requires quarterly principal payments with a balloon payment due on October 21, 2026. The scheduled principal payments due under the Term Facility over the next 12 months total $10.0 million as of June 29, 2024 and are recorded as current maturities of long-term debt on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. In addition, the Company made payments towards the Term Facility in accordance with disposition proceeds language contained in the Credit Agreement.

The Revolving Facility allows the Company to borrow up to an aggregate amount of $1.0 billion. The Revolving Facility also includes a $100.0 million swingline subfacility and a $50.0 million letter of credit subfacility. The Company had outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Facility of $7.0 million, $6.6 million and $6.5 million as of June 29, 2024, December 30, 2023 and July 1, 2023, respectively. These outstanding letters of credit reduce the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility.

Table of Contents

The interest rates applicable to amounts outstanding under Term Facility and to U.S. dollar denominated amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility are, at the Company’s option, either (1) the Alternate Base Rate plus an Applicable Margin as determined by the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, within a range of 0.125% to 1.000%, or (2) the Eurocurrency Rate plus an Applicable Margin as determined by the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, within a range of 1.125% to 2.000% (all capitalized terms used in this sentence are as defined in the Credit Agreement). At June 29, 2024, the Term Facility and the Revolving Facility had a weighted-average interest rate of 6.35%.

The obligations of the Company pursuant to the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the personal and real property of the Company and its material domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

The Senior Credit Facilities also contain certain affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things: incur or guarantee indebtedness; incur liens; pay dividends or repurchase stock; enter into transactions with affiliates; consummate asset sales, acquisitions or mergers; prepay certain other indebtedness; or make investments, as well as covenants restricting the activities of certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company that hold intellectual property related assets. Further, the Senior Credit Facilities require compliance with the following financial covenants: a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio and a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (all capitalized terms used in this paragraph are as defined in the Senior Credit Facilities). As of June 29, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and performance ratios under the Senior Credit Facilities.

On December 21, 2023, the Company entered into the fifth amendment (the "Fifth Amendment") to its Credit Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2012. The Fifth Amendment provides the Company with additional allowable disposition capacity in fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2024 to support the Company's transformation.

The Company’s $550.0 million 4.000% senior notes issued on August 26, 2021 are due on August 15, 2029. Related interest payments are due semi-annually. The senior notes are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.

The Company has a foreign revolving credit facility with aggregate available borrowings of $1.0 million that are uncommitted and, therefore, each borrowing against the facility is subject to approval by the lender. There were no borrowings against this facility as of June 29, 2024, December 30, 2023 and July 1, 2023.

The Company included in interest expense the amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.5 million and $1.1 million for the quarter and year-to-date ended June 29, 2024, respectively. The Company included in interest expense the amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the quarter and year-to-date ended July 1, 2023, respectively.

9.DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company utilizes foreign currency forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges to manage the volatility associated primarily with U.S. dollar inventory purchases made by non-U.S. wholesale operations in the normal course of business. These foreign currency forward exchange hedge contracts extended out to a maximum of 503 days, 531 days, and 524 days as of June 29, 2024, December 30, 2023 and July 1, 2023, respectively. If, in the future, the foreign exchange contracts are determined not to be highly effective or are terminated before their contractual termination dates, the Company would remove the hedge designation from those contracts and reclassify into earnings the unrealized gains or losses that would otherwise be included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity.

The Company also utilizes foreign currency forward exchange contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments to manage foreign currency transaction exposure. Foreign currency derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are offset by foreign exchange gains or losses resulting from the underlying exposures of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

The Company has an interest rate swap arrangement, which unless otherwise terminated, will mature on May 30, 2025. This agreement, which exchanges floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the agreement without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts, has been designated as a cash flow hedge of the underlying debt. The notional amount of the interest rate swap arrangement is used to measure interest to be paid or received and does not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. The differential paid or received on the interest rate swap arrangement is recognized as interest expense, net. In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Company has formally documented the relationship between the interest rate swap and the variable rate borrowing, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transactions. This process included linking the derivative to the specific liability or asset on the balance sheet. The Company also assessed at the inception of the hedge, and continues to assess on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative used in the hedging transaction is highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item.

The notional amounts of the Company’s derivative instruments are as follows:


(Dollars in millions)	June 29, 2024		December 30, 2023		July 1, 2023
Foreign exchange hedge contracts	$	257.9	$	269.0	$	295.0

Interest rate swap	41.1		75.3		119.9

The recorded fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments are as follows:

Interest rate swap	0.8		1.8		3.9

Financial liabilities:
Foreign exchange hedge contracts	$	(1.0)	$	(5.1)	$	(4.7)

Foreign exchange hedge contract financial assets are recorded to prepaid expenses and other current assets and financial liabilities are recorded to other accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Interest rate swap financial assets are recorded to other assets and financial liabilities are recorded to other liabilities on the consolidated condensed balance sheets.

The non-service cost components of net pension expense is recorded in the Other expense (income), net line item on the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive income.

12.INCOME TAXES

The Company maintains management and operational activities in overseas subsidiaries, and its foreign earnings are taxed at rates that are different than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate. A significant amount of the Company’s earnings are generated by its Canadian, European and Asian subsidiaries and, to a lesser extent, in jurisdictions that are not subject to income tax.

The Company intends to permanently reinvest all non-cash undistributed earnings outside of the U.S. and has therefore not established a deferred tax liability on that amount of foreign unremitted earnings. However, if these non-cash undistributed earnings were repatriated, the Company would be required to accrue and pay applicable U.S. taxes and withholding taxes payable to various countries. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of the deferred tax liability associated with these non-cash unremitted earnings due to the complexity of the hypothetical calculation.

The Company’s effective tax rates for the quarter and year-to-date ended June 29, 2024 were 13.1% and 47.8%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates for the quarter and year-to-date ended July 1, 2023 were 19.8% and 27.8%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate between 2024 and 2023 for the quarter-to-date period is due to an increase in discrete tax benefits recognized in the current year, as well as lower pretax income, which increases the impact of the discrete benefits on the effective tax rate. The increase in the effective tax rate between 2024 and 2023 for the year-to-date period is driven by lower pretax income in the current year, which increases the impact of the discrete tax expenses on the effective tax rate.

The Company is subject to periodic audits by U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax authorities. Currently, the Company is undergoing routine periodic audits in both U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax jurisdictions. It is reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits could change in the next 12 months as a result of the audits; however, any payment of tax is not expected to be significant to the consolidated condensed financial statements. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2020 in the majority of tax jurisdictions.

14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. For additional information regarding the Company’s fair value policies, refer to Note 1 in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following table sets forth financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated condensed balance sheets and the respective pricing levels to which the fair value measurements are classified within the fair value hierarchy.


	Fair Value Measurements
	Quoted Prices With Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)
(In millions)	June 29, 2024		December 30, 2023		July 1, 2023
Financial assets:
Derivatives	$	4.0	$	1.8	$	5.5
Financial liabilities:
Derivatives	$	(1.0)	$	(5.1)	$	(4.7)

The fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts represents the estimated receipts or payments necessary to terminate the contracts. The interest rate swap was valued based on the current forward rates of the future cash flows.

Fair Value Disclosures

The Company’s financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, borrowings under revolving credit agreements and other short-term and long-term debt. The

Table of Contents

carrying amount of these financial instruments is historical cost, which approximates fair value, except for the debt. The carrying value and the fair value of the Company’s debt are as follows:


(In millions)	June 29, 2024		December 30, 2023		July 1, 2023
Carrying value	$	814.7	$	920.8	$	1,113.5
Fair value	732.0		813.3		1,020.1

The fair value of the fixed rate debt was based on third-party quotes (Level 2). The fair value of the variable rate debt was calculated by discounting the future cash flows to its present value using a discount rate based on the risk-free rate of the same maturity (Level 3).

15. LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

The Company operated a leather tannery in Rockford, Michigan from the early 1900s through 2009 (the “Tannery”). The Company also owns a parcel on House Street in Plainfield Township that the Company used for the disposal of Tannery byproducts until about 1970 (the "House Street" site). Beginning in the late 1950s, the Company used 3M Company’s Scotchgard™ in its processing of certain leathers at the Tannery. Until 2002 when 3M Company changed its Scotchgard™ formula, Tannery byproducts disposed of by the Company at the House Street site and other locations may have contained PFOA and/or PFOS, two chemicals in the family of compounds known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (together, “PFAS”). PFOA and PFOS help provide non-stick, stain-resistant, and water-resistant qualities, and were used for many decades in commercial products like firefighting foams and metal plating, and in common consumer items like food wrappers, microwave popcorn bags, pizza boxes, Teflon™, carpets and Scotchgard™.

In May 2016, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) announced a lifetime health advisory level of 70 parts per trillion (“ppt”) combined for PFOA and PFOS, which the EPA reduced in June 2022 to 0.004 ppt and 0.02 ppt for PFOA and PFOS, respectively. In January 2018, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (“MDEQ”, now known as the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (“EGLE”)) enacted a drinking water criterion of 70 ppt combined for PFOA and PFOS, which set an official state standard for acceptable concentrations of these contaminants in groundwater used for drinking water purposes. On August 3, 2020, Michigan changed the standards for PFOA and PFOS in drinking water to 8 and 16 ppt, respectively, and set standards for four other PFAS substances.

Civil and Regulatory Actions of EGLE and EPA

On January 10, 2018, EGLE filed a civil action against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan under the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (“RCRA”) and Parts 201 and 31 of the Michigan Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (“NREPA”) alleging that the Company’s past and present handling, storage, treatment, transportation and/or disposal of solid waste at the Company’s properties has resulted in releases of PFAS at levels exceeding applicable Michigan cleanup criteria for PFOA and PFOS (the "EGLE Action"). Plainfield and Algoma Townships intervened in the EGLE Action alleging claims under RCRA, NREPA, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) and common law nuisance.

On February 3, 2020, the parties entered into a consent decree resolving the EGLE Action, which was approved by U.S. District Judge Janet T. Neff on February 19, 2020 (the “Consent Decree”). Under the Consent Decree, the Company agreed to pay for an extension of Plainfield Township’s municipal water system to more than 1,000 properties in Plainfield and Algoma Townships, subject to an aggregate cap of $69.5 million. The Company also agreed to continue maintaining water filters for certain homeowners, resample certain residential wells for PFAS, continue remediation at the Company’s Tannery property and House Street site, and conduct further investigations and monitoring to assess the presence of PFAS in area groundwater. The Company’s activities under the Consent Decree are not materially impacted by either the drinking water standards that became effective on August 3, 2020, or the EPA’s revised advisory levels issued in June 2022.

On December 19, 2018, the Company filed a third-party complaint against 3M Company seeking, among other things, recovery of the Company’s remediation and other costs incurred in defense of the EGLE Action ("the 3M Action"). On June 20, 2019, the 3M Company filed a counterclaim against the Company in response to the 3M Action, seeking, among other things, contractual and common law indemnity and contribution under CERCLA and Part 201 of NREPA. On February 20, 2020, the Company and 3M Company entered into a settlement agreement resolving the 3M Action, under which 3M Company paid the Company a lump sum amount of $55.0 million during the first quarter of 2020.

On January 10, 2018, the EPA entered a Unilateral Administrative Order (the “Order”) under Section 106(a) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. § 9606(a) with an effective date of February 1, 2018. The Order pertained to specified removal actions at the Company's

Table of Contents

Tannery and House Street sites, including certain time critical removal actions subsequently identified in an April 29, 2019 letter from the EPA, to abate the actual or threatened release of hazardous substances at or from the sites. On October 28, 2019, the EPA and the Company entered into an Administrative Settlement and Order on Consent (“AOC”) that supersedes the Order and addresses the agreed-upon removal actions outlined in the Order. The Company has completed the activities required by the AOC.

The Company discusses its reserve for remediation costs in the environmental liabilities section below.

Individual and Class Action Litigation

Beginning in late 2017, individual lawsuits and three putative class action lawsuits were filed against the Company that raise a variety of claims, including claims related to property, remediation, and human health effects. The three putative class action lawsuits were subsequently refiled in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan as a single consolidated putative class action lawsuit. 3M Company has been named as a co-defendant in the individual lawsuits and consolidated putative class action lawsuit. In addition, the current owner of a former landfill and gravel mining operation sued the Company seeking damages and cost recovery for property damage allegedly caused by the Company’s disposal of tannery waste containing PFAS. The owner of another former landfill filed notice threatening suit and sent a demand letter to the Company seeking recovery for damages allegedly caused by the Company’s disposal of tannery waste containing PFAS (this notice, the former landfill and gravel mining suit collectively with the individual lawsuits and putative class action, the “Litigation Matters”).

On January 11, 2022, the Company and 3M Company entered into a master settlement agreement with the law firm representing certain of the plaintiffs in the individual lawsuits included in the Litigation Matters, and each of these plaintiffs subsequently agreed to participate in the settlement. These plaintiffs’ lawsuits were dismissed with prejudice on or around April 25, 2022.

On December 9, 2021, the Company and 3M Company reached a settlement in principle to resolve certain of the remaining individual lawsuits included in the Litigation Matters, and the parties entered into definitive settlement agreements in March 2022. These plaintiffs’ lawsuits were dismissed with prejudice on June 14, 2022. The last remaining individual action was dismissed without prejudice on June 24, 2022.

In addition, in September 2022, the parties to the putative class action filed a motion for preliminary approval of a proposed class action settlement seeking to resolve the putative class action plaintiffs’ claims. On March 29, 2023, the court presiding over the putative class action granted final approval of the proposed settlement and dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice.

The last remaining Litigation Matter, the lawsuit filed by the current owner of a former landfill and gravel mining operations, was pending in Michigan state court but has been administratively stayed by the Court.

For certain of the Litigation Matters described above, and as a result of developments during the second quarter of 2024, the Company increased its accrual by $8.4 million. The Company made no payments in connection with the Litigation Matters described above during the first two quarters of 2024. As of June 29, 2024, the Company had recorded liabilities of $11.1 million for certain of the Litigation Matters described above which are recorded as other accrued liabilities in the consolidated condensed balance sheets.

In December 2018, the Company filed a lawsuit against certain of its historic liability insurers, seeking to compel them to provide a defense against the Litigation Matters on the Company's behalf and coverage for remediation efforts undertaken by, and indemnity provided by, the Company. The Company recognized certain recoveries from legacy insurance policies in 2024 and 2023 and continues pursuing additional recoveries through the lawsuit.

Other Litigation

The Company is also involved in litigation incidental to its business and is a party to legal actions and claims, including, but not limited to, those related to employment, intellectual property, and consumer related matters. Some of the legal proceedings include claims for compensatory as well as punitive damages. While the final outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, considering, among other things, the meritorious legal defenses available to the Company and reserves for liabilities that the Company has recorded, along with applicable insurance, it is management’s opinion that the outcome of these items are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Environmental Liabilities

The following is a summary of the activity with respect to the environmental remediation reserve established by the Company:


	Year-To-Date Ended
(In millions)	June 29, 2024		July 1, 2023
Remediation liability at beginning of the year	$	57.9	$	74.1
Changes in estimate	3.8		(21.0)
Amounts paid	(15.5)		(6.7)
Remediation liability at the end of the quarter	$	46.2	$	46.4

The reserve balance as of June 29, 2024 includes $17.8 million that is expected to be paid within the next twelve months and is recorded as a current obligation in other accrued liabilities, with the remaining $28.4 million expected to be paid over the course of up to 25 years, recorded in other liabilities.

The Company's remediation activity at the Tannery property, House Street site and other relevant operations or disposal sites is ongoing. Although the Consent Decree has made near-term costs more clear, it is difficult to estimate the long-term cost of environmental compliance and remediation given the uncertainties regarding the interpretation and enforcement of applicable environmental laws and regulations, the extent of environmental contamination and the existence of alternative cleanup methods. Future developments may occur that could materially change the Company’s current cost estimates, including, but not limited to: (i) changes in the information available regarding the environmental impact of the Company’s operations and products; (ii) changes in environmental regulations, changes in permissible levels of specific compounds in drinking water sources, or changes in enforcement theories and policies, including efforts to recover natural resource damages; (iii) new and evolving analytical and remediation techniques; (iv) changes to the form of remediation; (v) success in allocating liability to other potentially responsible parties; and (vi) the financial viability of other potentially responsible parties and third-party indemnitors. For locations at which remediation activity is largely ongoing, the Company cannot estimate a possible loss or range of loss in excess of the associated established reserves for the reasons described above. The Company adjusts recorded liabilities as further information develops or circumstances change.

Minimum Royalties and Advertising Commitments

The Company has future minimum royalty and advertising obligations due under the terms of certain licenses held by the Company. These minimum future obligations for the fiscal periods subsequent to June 29, 2024 are as follows:

Minimum advertising	—		3.0		3.1		3.2		3.3		—

Minimum royalties are based on both fixed obligations and assumptions regarding the Consumer Price Index. Royalty obligations in excess of minimum requirements are based upon future sales levels. In accordance with these agreements, the Company incurred royalty expense of $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the quarter and year-to-date ended June 29, 2024, respectively. For the quarter and year-to-date ended July 1, 2023, the Company incurred royalty expense in accordance with these agreements of $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is a discussion of the Company’s results of operations and liquidity and capital resources. This section should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

The Company is a leading global designer, marketer and licensor of branded footwear, apparel and accessories. The Company’s strategic vision is to build and grow high-energy footwear, apparel and accessories brands that inspire and empower consumers to explore and enjoy their active lives. The Company seeks to fulfill this vision by offering innovative products and compelling brand propositions; complementing its footwear brands with strong apparel and accessories offerings; expanding its global direct-to-consumer footprint; and delivering supply chain excellence.

The Company’s brands are marketed in approximately 170 countries and territories at June 29, 2024, including through owned operations in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom and certain countries in continental Europe and Asia Pacific.

GROSS MARGIN

Gross margin was 43.1% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 38.7% in the second quarter of 2023. The gross margin increase in the second quarter was primarily driven by less end-of-life inventory sales, less supply chain costs and less promotional activity.

Gross margin was 44.5% in the first two quarters of 2024 compared to 39.0% during the first two quarters of 2023. The gross margin increase in the first two quarters of 2024 was primarily driven by favorable distribution channel mix, less end-of-life inventory sales, less supply chain costs and less promotional activity.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses decreased $27.6 million, from $181.7 million in the second quarter of 2023 to $154.1 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by lower general and administrative costs ($14.2 million), lower impairment of long-lived assets ($12.4 million), lower selling costs ($11.9 million), lower advertising costs ($11.1 million), lower distribution costs ($5.4 million) and lower product development costs ($1.8 million), partially offset by higher environmental and other related costs, net of insurance recoveries ($13.7 million), higher incentive compensation costs ($8.7 million) and higher reorganization costs ($6.8 million). Environmental and other related costs were $10.8 million and $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Operating expenses decreased $34.1 million, from $372.7 million in the first two quarters of 2023 to $338.6 million in the first two quarters of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by lower selling costs ($22.6 million), lower general and administrative costs ($20.4 million), lower advertising costs ($20.2 million), lower distribution costs ($13.5 million), lower impairment of long-lived assets ($6.3 million) and lower product development costs ($4.2 million), partially offset by the 2023 gain on the divestiture of the Keds® business ($20.1 million), higher environmental and other related costs, net of insurance recoveries ($16.2 million), higher incentive compensation costs ($8.8 million) and higher reorganization costs ($8.0 million). Environmental and other related costs were $12.7 million and $3.7 million in the first two quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively.

INTEREST, OTHER AND INCOME TAXES

Net interest expense was $11.9 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $16.1 million in the second quarter of 2023. Net interest expense was $23.9 million in the first two quarters of 2024 compared to $31.9 million in the first two quarters of 2023. The decrease in interest expense for both the quarter-to-date and year-to-date periods is due to lower average principal balances of variable rate debt.

Other income was $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to other income of $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2023. Other income was $1.6 million in the first two quarters of 2024, compared to other expense of $0.8 million in the first two quarters of 2023.

The effective tax rates in the second quarter of 2024 and 2023 were 13.1% and 19.8%, respectively. The effective tax rates in the first two quarters of 2024 and 2023 were 47.8% and 27.8%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate between 2024 and 2023 for the quarter-to-date period is due to an increase in discrete tax benefits recognized in the current year, as well as lower pretax income, which increases the impact of the discrete benefits on the effective tax rate. The increase in the effective tax rate between 2024 and 2023 for the year-to-date period is driven by lower pretax income in the current year, which increases the impact of the discrete tax expenses on the effective tax rate.

(2)Amounts are net of both borrowings, if any, and outstanding standby letters of credit in accordance with the terms of the revolving credit facility.

Liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents of $148.3 million as of June 29, 2024 were $31.8 million lower compared to July 1, 2023. The decrease is due primarily to cash provided by operating activities of $65.4 million, proceeds from divestitures of $199.5 million, contributions from noncontrolling interests of $29.1 million, and proceeds from company-owned life insurance policies of $7.0 million, partially offset by borrowings less repayments of debt of $300.0 million, cash dividends paid of $32.4 million, and additions to property, plant and equipment of $8.5 million. The Company had $768.0 million of borrowing capacity available

Table of Contents

under the revolving facility as of June 29, 2024. Cash and cash equivalents located in foreign jurisdictions totaled $119.3 million as of June 29, 2024.

Cash flow from operating activities is expected to be sufficient to meet the Company’s working capital needs for the foreseeable future. Any excess cash flow from operating activities is expected to be used to fund organic growth initiatives, reduce debt, pay dividends and for general corporate purposes.

The Company did not repurchase shares during the first two quarters of both 2024 and 2023.

A detailed discussion of environmental remediation costs is found in Note 15 to the consolidated condensed financial statements. The Company has established a reserve for estimated environmental remediation costs based upon an evaluation of currently available facts with respect to each individual site. As of June 29, 2024, the Company had a reserve of $46.2 million, of which $17.8 million is expected to be paid in the next 12 months and is recorded as a current obligation in other accrued liabilities, and the remaining $28.4 million is recorded in other liabilities and is expected to be paid over the course of up to 25 years. It is difficult to estimate the cost of environmental compliance and remediation given the uncertainties regarding the interpretation and enforcement of applicable environmental laws and regulations, the extent of environmental contamination and the existence of alternative cleanup methods.

Developments may occur that could materially change the Company’s current cost estimates. The Company adjusts recorded liabilities as further information develops or circumstances change.

Financing Arrangements

The Company’s $550.0 million 4.0% senior notes issued on August 26, 2021 are due on August 15, 2029. Related interest payments are due semi-annually. The senior notes are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.

As of June 29, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and performance ratios under the Credit Agreement.

The Company’s debt at June 29, 2024 totaled $814.7 million compared to $920.8 million at December 30, 2023. The reduced debt position primarily resulted from repayments of debt using proceeds received from the sale of the Sperry® business.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Historically, actual results have not been materially different from the Company’s estimates. However, actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Company has identified the critical accounting policies used in determining estimates and assumptions in the amounts reported. For information regarding our critical accounting policies refer to Part II, Item 7: “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K. Management believes there have been no material changes in those critical accounting policies.

If a derivative is a qualifying hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings.

The Company conducts wholesale operations outside of the U.S. in Canada, continental Europe, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, China and Mexico where the functional currencies are primarily the Canadian dollar, euro, British pound, Hong Kong dollar, Chinese renminbi and Mexican peso, respectively. The Company utilizes foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage the volatility associated primarily with U.S. dollar inventory purchases made by non-U.S. wholesale operations in the normal course of business as well as to manage foreign currency translation exposure. As of June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023, the Company had outstanding forward currency exchange contracts to purchase primarily U.S. dollars in the amounts of $257.9 million and $295.0 million, respectively, with maturities ranging up to 503 and 524 days, respectively.

The Company also has sourcing locations in Asia, where financial statements reflect the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. However, operating costs are paid in the local currency. Revenue generated by the Company from third-party foreign licensees is calculated in the local currencies but paid in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, the Company’s reported results are subject to foreign currency exposure for this stream of revenue and expenses. Any associated foreign currency gains or losses on the settlement of local currency amounts are reflected within the Company's consolidated condensed statement of operations and comprehensive income.

Assets and liabilities outside the U.S. are primarily located in the United Kingdom, Canada and the Netherlands. The Company’s investments in foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are generally considered long-term. As of June 29, 2024, a stronger U.S. dollar compared to certain foreign currencies decreased the value of these investments in net assets by $10.9 million from their value as of December 30, 2023. As of July 1, 2023, a weaker U.S. dollar compared to certain foreign currencies increased the value of these investments in net assets by $3.9 million from their value as of December 31, 2022.

The Company is exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of interest expense on the term loan borrowings and any borrowings under the Revolving Facility. The Company’s total variable-rate debt was $270.0 million at June 29, 2024 and the Company held a forward-dated interest rate swap agreement, denominated in U.S. dollars, that effectively converts $41.1 million of this amount to fixed-rate debt.

The Company does not enter into contracts for speculative or trading purposes, nor is it a party to any leveraged derivative instruments.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

SECOND AMENDMENT

TO THE

WOLVERINE WORLD WIDE, INC.

409A SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

This is an Amendment made this 29th day of April, 2024, by Wolverine World Wide, Inc. ("Wolverine").

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, Wolverine adopted the Wolverine World Wide, Inc. 409A Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("plan") effective as of December 11, 2008; and

WHEREAS, Wolverine wishes to clarify and document the interpretation of existing plan terms and to align provisions of the plan with existing employment agreement language without changing the calculation or amount of plan benefits or the time and form of any benefit payment; and

WHEREAS, Section 11.1 empowers Wolverine to amend the plan;

NOW, THEREFORE, Wolverine amends the plan, and any applicable participation agreement to the extent necessary or required to effectuate this amendment, effective as of June 1, 2024, as follows:

1.Section 6.1 is amended to read as follows:

Subject to Article 10, a Participant will forfeit all benefits under this Plan if the Participant’s employment terminates for Cause or the Participant’s employment terminates while an investigation is ongoing to determine whether the Participant should be discharged and the Administrator determines that the Participant would have been discharged for Cause but for the Participant’s resignation.

2.To clarify where the term “Employer” means “Company”, which related entities are being referenced, and that the term “Board of Directors” as used in the plan means the Board of the Directors of Wolverine World Wide, Inc. ("Company”), Section 8.2 of the plan is replaced as follows:

8.2 Employer or Company Action.

An action required to be taken by the Employer or Company (or successor thereto) shall be taken by the Board of Directors of the Company (“Board”) unless the Board has delegated the power or responsibility to one or more Persons identified by its resolution. References to the Company’s “affiliate” or “its subsidiaries” shall include any corporation, trade, or business which is treated as a single employer with the Company under Code Sections 414(b) or 414(c).

3.To avoid ambiguity regarding the interpretation of “Cause” under applicable employment agreement language and this plan, Section 10.2(a) is replaced with the following:

(a) Cause. "Cause" means any of the following: (i) Any intentional act of fraud, embezzlement, theft or breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the Company or its subsidiaries; (ii) Participant’s (A) intentional act of dishonesty or misrepresentation with respect to the Company or its subsidiaries; or (B) gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his duties to the Company (other than any such failure resulting from Participant’s Disability, or Participant’s resignation for Good Reason), in each of the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) above which is material to the Company; (iii) Material failure or refusal to follow any reasonable directive of the Board, consistent with the terms of this Agreement; (iv) Participant’s material (A) breach of any noncompetition, nonsolicitation, confidentiality or other covenant with the Company or its subsidiaries under the Participant’s employment agreement; (B) breach of any material written policy of the Company, a copy of which such material written policy has been made available to Participant; or (C) breach of Participant’s employment agreement with the Company; or (v)Participant’s conviction of or indictment for or entering of a guilty plea or plea of no contest or nolo contendere with respect to any felony or any crime involving an act of moral turpitude.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participant shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless and until the Company provides Participant with a notice from the Board specifying the grounds for a Termination for Cause (and providing an opportunity to cure the conduct if such conduct is curable within ten (10) days), and a copy of a resolution adopted by an affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the independent directors of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for the purpose (after notice to Participant and an opportunity for Participant, with counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the majority of the independent directors of the Board that Executive has been guilty of conduct set forth above, setting forth the particulars in detail. A determination of Cause by the Board shall not be binding upon or entitled to deference by any finder of fact in the event of a dispute, it being the intent of the parties that such finder of fact shall make an independent determination of whether the termination was for “Cause” as defined above. No act or failure to act on the part of Participant shall be considered “willful” unless done or omitted to be done by Participant not in good faith and without reasonable belief that Participant’s action(s) or omission(s) was in the best interests of the Company.

Except as herein amended, the Employer ratifies the plan.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Employer has caused this instrument to be executed by a proper officer on the day and year first above written.

Exhibit 10.2

WOLVERINE WORLD WIDE INC.

TRANSITION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT

This Transition and Release Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made by and among Wolverine World Wide, Inc., acting on behalf of itself and its affiliates, subsidiaries, and related companies (collectively, the “Company”) and Michael D. Stornant (the “Employee”).

WHEREAS, the Employee’s employment by the Company is expected to end when he retires on May 15, 2025; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide the Employee with certain transition benefits in exchanges for the Employee’s execution of this Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Company and the Employee wish to fully and finally settle and resolve any and all claims, differences, and disputes between them, including, but not limited to, claims arising out of or relating to the Employee’s employment, terms and conditions of employment, separation from employment or any other event, transaction, or communication between the Company and the Employee; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Employee agree as follows:

1.Employee’s Payments and Benefits.

(a)Employment Continuation. Provided the Employee (i) complies with all material Company policies, and (ii) executes and delivers this Agreement, including the First Release and Waiver set forth in Section 12 (the “First Release”), to the Company no later than 5:00 pm ET on May 23, 2023 (the “First Release Date”), then the Employee’s employment by the Company shall end, subject to the terms of this Agreement, on May 15, 2025 (the “End Date”). The Employee shall continue receiving his current base salary and benefits through the End Date except his base salary and target bonus percentage for fiscal 2025, which shall be determined by the Company.

The Company reserves the right to terminate the Employee’s employment by the Company prior to the End Date if: (i) the Employee enters into new employment; (ii) the Employee breaches any material policy of the Company; or (iii) the Employee breaches any term or condition of this Agreement. With respect to subsections (ii) and (iii), prior to termination the Employee shall be given notice of the claimed breach and, if the breach is capable of being cured, a period of ten (10) days in which to cure it.

From May 2, 2024, through May 8, 2024 (the “Transition Date”), the Employee shall continue in his current role and performing his current work duties. From the Transition Date through the End Date, the Employee shall: (a) have the title of Executive Vice President; (b) continue reporting to the President and Chief Executive Officer; and (c) perform duties assigned to him by the President and Chief Executive Officer, including but not limited to transition support, profit improvement initiatives, and special projects.

Following the End Date, the Employee shall have no rights to any compensation or other benefits not expressly provided in this Agreement.

(b)Vacation Pay. After the End Date, the Company shall pay the Employee for all 2025 accrued, unused vacation, less applicable deductions for federal, state, and local taxes, social security, wage withholding, and other taxes.

(c) Other. Provided the Employee: (i) complies with all of the Employee’s obligations under this Agreement, (ii) executes and delivers the First Release to the Company between May 2, 2024, and the First Release Date, (iii) executes and delivers to the Company between the End Date and twenty-one (21) days thereafter the Second Release, and (iv) does not revoke the First Release or the Second Release, then Company will provide through December 31, 2025, the concierge medical benefits currently provided to Employee.

2.Other Benefits; Health Insurance Coverage.

(a)All of the Employee’s Company benefits, including, but not limited to long-term disability, short-term disability and life insurance coverage will cease as of the End Date, except to the extent explicitly set forth in this Agreement. The Employee will not continue to earn vacation or other paid time off after the End Date. The Employee’s right to contribute to the Company’s 401(k) plan shall cease as of the End Date, in accordance with the terms of that plan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the End Date the Employee will continue to be eligible to receive a discount on Company products under the terms and conditions of the Company’s employee discount program, as amended from time to time.

(b)Equity Awards.

(i)The Employee is not and shall not be eligible for or entitled to any awards of stock or other equity or equity-based incentives after May 2, 2024.

(ii)The Employee acknowledges and understands that: (x) any restricted stock or other equity awards (including any time-vested and performance-based stock) for which the restrictions have not lapsed as of the later of the End Date or, if applicable, the end of the Determination Period (as that phrase is defined in the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan) shall be forfeited to the Company in accordance with the terms of the applicable stock agreements and plans; and (y) any stock options or other equity awards that have not vested as of the later of the End Date or, if applicable, the end of the Determination Period (as that phrase is defined in the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan) shall be forfeited to the Company in accordance with the terms of the applicable option agreements and plans.

(c)If enrolled as of the End Date, the Employee will be eligible for continued health care coverage as permitted under the Company’s retiree medical program or the federal Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 as amended (“COBRA”), at the Employee’s sole election and expense. The Employee will be required to pay the Employee’s retiree medical contributions to the Company each month or, in the case of COBRA, directly to the Company’s COBRA administrator each month. As of the End Date, all continuing medical or COBRA coverage shall be at the Employee’s sole election and expense. If the Employee timely elects retiree medical or COBRA, the Employee may use any unused balance in the Employee’s Medical Flexible Spending Account.

The Company may substitute for its current health insurance plan and/or dental insurance plan such coverage and employee contribution requirements as are then being furnished by the Company to its similarly situated active employees.

(d)Subject to the Employee fulfilling all of the Employee’s obligations under this Agreement, the Company will pay the Employee an amount equal to the bonus the Employee would have been eligible to receive for fiscal year 2025, if any, had the Employee met the requirements of the Company’s Administrative Bonus Plan or Amended and Restated Executive Short-Term Incentive Plan, as applicable (“Other Payment”). The Other Payment shall be made on or after the date on which bonus payments for fiscal year 2025 are made to active employees, and shall be subject to all applicable deductions for federal, state, and local taxes, social security, wage withholding, and other taxes.

3.Return of Property. All documents, including memoranda, notes, records, reports, photographs, drawings, plans, papers, or other documents, samples or analyses, or electronically stored information, whether or not they contain Confidential Information, are the property of the Company and must be returned to the Company on or before the End Date, as requested by the Company. The Employee shall return to the Company all of its property in the Employee’s possession, including, but not limited to, keys, office equipment, credit cards, personal computers, files, correspondence, customer lists, business notes, documents and all other materials relating to the Company’s business on or before the End Date, as requested by the Company. The Employee shall not keep photocopies, facsimiles or electronically stored forms of any Company materials.

4.Outstanding Balances. Prior to the End Date, the Employee will reimburse the Company for any outstanding personal expenses the Company paid on behalf of the Employee. The Employee shall pay any balances outstanding for personal purchases or expenses charged to any Company credit card or any business expenses already reimbursed. If the Employee does not pay these expenses in full on or before the End Date, the Employee consents to the Company deducting these amounts from the Employee’s last paycheck or offsetting these amounts against any other payments due to the Employee.

5.Future Communications. Should inquiries be made of the Company regarding the Employee’s employment by the Company, the Company will limit the information it releases to the dates of the Employee’s employment and the positions held, except to the extent it is otherwise required by law to release information regarding the Employee’s employment.

6.Non-Disparagement. The Employee shall not disparage or defame the Company, its directors, management, employees, products, or services, in any conversation, correspondence, or other form of communication, oral or written, and the Employee shall not do or say anything that could reasonably be expected to disrupt the morale of the employees of the Company or otherwise harm the business interests, goodwill, or reputation of the Company. The Company shall make best efforts to cause its Executive Team not to disparage or defame the Employee in any conversation, correspondence, or other form of communication, oral or written, or to do or say anything that could reasonably be expected to harm the business interests, goodwill, or reputation of the Employee.

7.Compliance with Laws. The Employee acknowledges, affirms, represents, and warrants that at all times during the Employee’s employment by the Company, the Employee complied with all state and federal laws, conducted himself with the highest degree of fidelity to the Company, committed no acts of theft, embezzlement, misappropriation, insider trading, or other forms of misconduct contrary to the interests of the Company.

8.Confidential Information. The Employee shall not use for personal benefit or another’s benefit, or disclose to anyone, any information obtained during the Employee’s employment by the Company that is not generally known to the public, including, but not limited to, technical data, methods, processes, software, compositions, equipment, research data, marketing and sales information, product design, development and sourcing information, personnel data, customer lists, books, records, reports, statements, financial and other data, and all the other know-how and trade secrets pertaining in any respect to the Company or the Company’s business or customers (collectively, “Confidential Information”). In addition, as of May 2, 2024, the Employee shall not disclose the terms or nature of this Agreement to anyone, except to his spouse or as strictly necessary to the Employee’s attorneys and tax advisors.

9.Non-Solicitation and Non-Competition.

(a)Non-Solicitation. For the period beginning on the End Date and extending through May 15, 2026 (the “Non-Solicitation Termination Date”), the Employee shall not, without the Company’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly: (a) solicit, hire, cause, or induce, or attempt to solicit, hire, cause, or induce any employee, agent, representative, or contractor, of the Company who was an employee, agent, representative, or contactor of the Company as of the End Date, to terminate such person’s relationship with the Company or to become employed by any business or person other than the Company; (b) authorize, condone, solicit, or assist in the taking of such actions by any third party, including but not limited to a recruiter or future employer of the Employee; provided, however, that with respect to this Section, a general solicitation or advertisement not specifically targeted to or reasonably expected to specifically target such individuals will not be deemed in and of itself to violate the prohibitions of this Agreement; (c) solicit sales, orders, or other business from, or conduct business with, any Company Customer (as defined below) with respect to products, services or business that are similar or competitive with the products, services or business of the Company; or (d) interfere or attempt to interfere with any transaction, agreement, prospective agreement, business opportunity or business relationship in which the Company or any affiliate was involved during the two (2) years prior to the End Date. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the restriction in this Section is reasonable in light of the Employee’s responsibilities with the Company and the scope of the Company’s business.

“Customer” is defined as any person, company, or business that placed a wholesale order with any of the Company’s brands during the two (2) years prior to the End Date.

(b) Non-Competition. Employee agrees that for the period beginning on the End Date and continuing through May 15, 2026 (the “Restriction Period”), Employee will not engage, directly or indirectly, as an owner, manager, proprietor, contractor, more than five percent (5%) shareholder, partner, officer, employee or otherwise (collectively, “Employment”) where such Employment (i) involves any of the same or similar activities or functions as Employee performed, supervised, or managed for the Company at any time during the two (2)

years preceding the End Date, and (ii) is for or on behalf of any business that, directly or indirectly, (a) is engaged in the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, or retail or wholesale sale of footwear or apparel competitive with or substantially similar to the footwear or apparel designed, developed, manufactured, marketed, or sold by the Company, or (b) is engaged in any line of business substantially similar to the lines of business engaged in by the Company (clauses (a) and (b) each being a “Competitor”), where such Competitor did business in any state or country where the Company or its distributors, licensees, or partners did business during Employee’s employment. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the restriction in this Section is reasonable in light of the Employee’s responsibilities with the Company and the scope of the Company’s business.

In the event the Employee breaches this covenant not to compete, the Restriction Period shall automatically toll from the date of the first breach, and all subsequent breaches, until the resolution of the breach through private settlement, judicial or other action, including all appeals. The Restriction Period shall continue upon the effective date of any such judicial settlement or other resolution. The Company has the option, in its sole discretion, to waive (but only in writing) all or any portion of the Restriction Period or to limit the definition of Competitor. The Employee agrees to disclose to the Company the name of any subsequent employer during the Restriction Period, wherever located and regardless of whether such employer is a Competitor.

10.Enforcement of Covenants. The Employee acknowledges and affirms that the Employee has carefully read and considered all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the restraints imposed upon the Employee pursuant to Sections 6, 7, 8, and 9. The Employee agrees without reservation that each of the restraints contained herein is necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the goodwill, Confidential Information, trade secrets, and other legitimate interests of the Company and its subsidiaries, affiliates, and related parties; that each of them is a significant and material provision of this Agreement, and serves as an inducement for the Company to enter into this Agreement; and that each and every one of those restraints is reasonable in respect to subject matter, length of time and geographic area. The Employee further acknowledges that, were the Employee to breach any of the covenants contained in Sections 6, 7, 8, or 9, the damage to the Company would be irreparable. The Employee therefore agrees that in the event of the breach or a threatened breach by the Employee of any of the provisions of Sections 6, 7, 8, or 9, the Company, in addition to any and all other rights remedies available to it at law or equity, shall be entitled to: (a) cease any payments set forth in this Agreement that would otherwise be paid to the Employee after the date of the breach under this Agreement; (b) State or federal court injunctive relief restraining the Employee from further violation of this Agreement, and ordering specific performance of the Employee’s obligations under this Agreement; (c) money damages suffered by the Company as a result of the Employee’s breach; and (d) reimbursement of court costs and attorney fees and costs reasonably incurred by the Company in securing the Employee’s compliance with this Agreement.

No breach of any provision of this Agreement by the Company, or any other claimed breach of contract or violation of law, or change in the nature or scope of the Employee’s employment relationship with the Company, shall operate to extinguish the Employee’s obligation to comply with Sections 6, 7, 8, or 9.

11.Interpretation by Court. If any provision of this Agreement as applied to the Company or the Employee or to any circumstance shall be adjudged by a court of competent

jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision and determination shall in no way affect any other provision of this Agreement, the application of such provision in any other circumstances, or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement. The Company and the Employee agree that the provisions of this Agreement are reasonable and they intend this Agreement to be enforced as written. If, however, any provision, or any part of a provision is held to be unenforceable because of its duration or the types of activities restricted by it, all parties agree that a court of competent jurisdiction making such determination shall have and should exercise the power to (a) reduce the duration of the provision or types of activities restricted to the maximum duration permitted by applicable law; (b) delete specific words or phrases; and (c) enforce the provision in its reduced form.

12.First Release and Waiver. In consideration of the payments and benefits set forth in Sections 1(a), 1(c), and 2(d) of this Agreement, the Employee, for himself, his spouse (if any), their marital community (if any), and their respective heirs, estates, representatives, executors, successors and assigns, hereby fully, forever, irrevocably, and unconditionally releases and discharges the Company, its shareholders, affiliates, subsidiaries, parent companies, employee benefit plans, any co-employers or joint employers, their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, administrators, representatives, successors, heirs, assigns, and all persons acting by, through, under, or in concert with them (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from any and all claims of whatever kind and nature, character, and description, whether in law or equity, whether sounding in tort, contract, federal, state and/or local law, statute, ordinance, regulation, common law, or other source of law, which he or they may have against them, or any of them, including any and all claims arising out of and/or in any way related to the Employee’s employment with the Company or the circumstances of the termination of that employment, which could have arisen out of any act or omission occurring from the beginning of time to the First Effective Date, whether now known or unknown, contingent or vested, whether anticipated or unanticipated, asserted or unasserted, at the time of execution of this Agreement or not, for any type of relief.

(a)Included Statutes.

(b)Included Claims. This Agreement includes, but is not limited to, all claims for past due or future wages, overtime, compensation, minimum wages, damages, back pay, front pay, severance pay, meal and rest break compensation, penalties (including late payment penalties), liquidated damages, punitive damages, interest, attorneys’ fees, litigation costs,

restitution, equitable relief, bonuses, vacation pay, medical insurance, life or disability insurance, and other benefits (except vested retirement benefits) and all claims for violation of any express or implied agreement, written or verbal, that occurred before the execution of this Agreement, or for any violation of any common law duty or statute.

In waiving and releasing any and all claims set forth in this Agreement, whether or not now known to the Employee, the Employee understands that this means that if the Employee later discovers facts different from or in addition to those facts currently known or believed to be true, then the waivers and releases of this Agreement will remain effective in all respects – despite such different or additional facts – and even if Employee would not have agreed to this Agreement if Employee had prior knowledge of such facts. The Employee expressly, knowingly, and intentionally waives the benefits and rights of any statute, rule, doctrine, or common law principle of any jurisdiction whatsoever that provides that a general release does not extend to unknown claims.

The Employee further agrees that, except to enforce the terms of the Agreement and subject to the rights enumerated in Section 12(c), the Employee will not initiate or file, or cause to be initiated or filed, any complaint, suit, charge, or other proceeding asserting any of the released claims against the Company. The consideration offered herein is accepted by the Employee as being in full accord, satisfaction, compromise and settlement of any and all claims or potential claims, and the Employee expressly agrees that the Employee is not entitled to and shall not receive any further recovery of any kind from, and that in the event of any further complaint, suit, charge or other proceeding whatsoever, except those to enforce the terms of the Agreement, based upon any matter released herein, the Company shall have no further monetary or other obligation of any kind to the Employee, including any obligation for any costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees incurred by Employee or on Employee’s behalf. THE EMPLOYEE AGREES TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO RECOVER MONETARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO BACK PAY, FRONT PAY, LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, PUNITIVE DAMAGES, AND/OR COMPENSATORY DAMAGES) IN ANY SUIT, COMPLAINT, CHARGE, OR OTHER PROCEEDING FILED BY THE EMPLOYEE OR ANYONE ELSE ON THE EMPLOYEE’S BEHALF.

(c)Excluded Claims & Protected Rights. Notwithstanding the above, by signing this agreement, the Employee does not release and discharge: (i) any claims that are not permitted to be waived or released under applicable law, including but not limited to, the right to file a charge with or participate in an investigation by the EEOC, claims for workers’ compensation, and claims for unemployment compensation; (ii) any claim for breach of this Agreement; and (iii) any claims arising after the date on which the Employee signs this Agreement. Nor is this Agreement intended in any way to limit the Employee’s right or ability to: (i) bring a lawsuit against the Company to enforce the Company’s obligations under this Agreement; (ii) make any disclosure of information required by law; (iii) report a possible violation of any federal law or regulation to any government agency or entity, or make disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of any law; or (iv) initiate, provide information to, testify at, participate, or otherwise assist, in any investigation or proceeding brought by any federal regulatory or law enforcement agency or legislative body, such as the EEOC and SEC, any self-regulatory organization, or the Company’s legal, compliance, or human resources officers relating to an alleged violation of any federal, state, or municipal law.

(d)This release shall not constitute a release by the Employee of any right by the Employee to be indemnified by the Company as provided by statute, the Company’s By-Laws, or any Directors and Officers liability insurance policy maintained by the Company for any acts or omissions during the term of the Employee’s employment to the same extent the Employee would have had the right to be indemnified absent this release.

(e)This release shall not constitute a release by Employee relating to any rights or obligations set forth in the Executive Severance Agreement between the Company and Employee.

(f)This waiver and release does not affect the Employee’s right to continue COBRA continuation coverage after the Company paid period, if any, of COBRA coverage.

13.Second Release and Waiver. The Employee acknowledges that to receive the benefits set forth in Sections 1(b), 1(c), 2(a), 2(c), and 2(d), he must execute and deliver to the Company between the End Date and twenty-one (21) days thereafter a Second Release and Waiver in the form of Exhibit A to this Agreement. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that (a) he has consulted with an attorney regarding the Second Release, (b) he is under no obligation to sign the Second Release, and (c) executing the Second Release is within his discretion.

14.Retirement Plans. The parties recognize that the Employee may have certain vested interests in a “401(k)” retirement, supplemental executive retirement plan, and/or other pension plan to which the Company has contributed on the Employee’s behalf, including but not limited to the Wolverine World Wide, Inc. 409A Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, the Wolverine Employees’ Pension Plan, and the Wolverine World Wide, Inc. Money Accumulation Plan. The waiver and release of claims set forth in Section 12 does not apply to the Employee’s vested interests in such plans.

15.Opportunity for Review and Consultation. The Employee acknowledges having read this Agreement and understands all of its provisions. The Employee knowingly and voluntarily agrees to all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The Employee acknowledges that the Employee has had twenty-one (21) days to enter into this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, a copy of this Agreement executed by the Employee must be received by the Company no later than 5:00 pm EST on the First Release Date (May 23, 2024), in order for it to be effective. If this Agreement was executed prior to the expiration of the twenty-one (21) day deliberation period, the Employee warrants such execution was voluntary and without coercion by the Company. The Company encourages the Employee to consult with an attorney regarding this Agreement. The Employee acknowledges that the Employee either has consulted with an attorney regarding this Agreement or has intentionally chosen not to exercise the right to do so.

The Company and the Employee agree that any changes to this Agreement after it is first presented to the Employee, material or otherwise, do not impact the amount of time the Employee has to consider and execute this Agreement.

16.Effective Date; Revocation Period. The Employee has seven (7) days after signing this Agreement to revoke the Agreement, and the Agreement will not be effective until that revocation period has expired (the “First Effective Date”). Notice of revocation shall be in a

signed document delivered to the Executive Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer before the expiration of the revocation period.

17.Disclosures and Subpoena.

(a)The Employee agrees that the Employee will not, directly or indirectly, and without the Company’s prior written consent, voluntarily provide information, documents, or statements to any entity or person, including current or former employees of the Company (except the Employee’s counsel, tax preparer, and immediate family) regarding: (i) any other person’s employment with, or termination of employment from, the Company; or (ii) any information or documents concerning the Company. In the event that a subpoena or other lawful process is properly served upon the Employee requiring production or disclosure of information or documents concerning the foregoing matters, the Employee shall promptly notify the Company, in accordance with the Notices provisions detailed herein, and shall provide it with copies of any subpoena or other process served upon the Employee. The Employee shall thereafter make such documents available to the Company for inspection and copying at a reasonable time and place designated by the Company prior to their production.

(b)In the event that the subpoena or other process requires testimony or statements from the Employee, the Employee agrees to meet, telephonically or in person, with attorneys or agents designated by the Company, at a reasonable time and place designated by the Company and prior to giving the testimony or the production of documents, for the purpose of discussing the same.

(c)Nothing herein shall give the Company the right to control or dictate the content of any testimony given by the Employee, or any documents produced by the Employee pursuant to subpoena or other lawful process. It is understood that the Employee shall provide all information lawfully required of the Employee, but shall not waive any matters of attorney-client privilege without the Company’s express consent. In the event that the Company requires any information or testimony from the Employee in connection with any claim made against the Company, or any claims made by the Company against persons or entities not party to this Agreement, the Employee agrees to cooperate fully with and without cost to the Company, including: (i) appearing at any deposition, trial, hearing or arbitration; (ii) meeting telephonically or in person with attorneys or agents designated by the Company, at a reasonable time and place designated by the Company and prior to the giving of testimony, for the purpose of discussing such testimony; and (iii) providing the Company with any relevant documentation in the Employee’s custody, control or possession. The Company will, however, pay for or reimburse the Employee for his reasonable time and any expenses, not including attorneys’ fees, the Employee incurs in connection with such cooperation, provided the Company has agreed in advance to such expenses.

18.Future Cooperation. The Employee agrees that, in the future, the Employee will cooperate with the Company and will respond to reasonable requests for information about the Company’s business activities during the period when the Employee was employed by the Company and will execute such documents that the Company requests in order to fulfill the Employee’s obligations hereunder.

19.Assignment/Binding Effect. This Agreement is personal in nature as to the Employee and the Employee may not assign the Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns.

20.Amendment. The Company and the Employee may amend this Agreement only through a writing signed by both of them.

21.Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan.

Accounts Receivable (Notes)	Jun. 29, 2024
Accounts Receivables [Abstract]
Loans, Notes, Trade and Other Receivables Disclosure [Text Block]	ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE The Company and certain of its subsidiaries sell, on a continuous basis without recourse, their trade receivables to Rockford ARS, LLC (“Rockford ARS”), a wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of the Company. On December 7, 2022, Rockford ARS entered into a receivables purchase agreement (“RPA”), which was subsequently amended on April 15, 2024, to sell up to $125.0 million of receivables to certain purchasers (the “Purchasers”) on a recurring basis in exchange for cash (referred to as “capital” in the RPA) equal to the gross receivables transferred. The parties intend that the transfers of receivables to the Purchasers constitute purchases and sales of receivables. Rockford ARS has guaranteed to each Purchaser the prompt payment of sold receivables, and has granted a security interest in its assets for the benefit of the Purchasers. Under the RPA, which matures on December 5, 2025, each Purchaser’s share of capital accrues yield at a floating rate plus an applicable margin. The Company is the master servicer under the RPA, and is responsible for administering and collecting receivables. The proceeds of the RPA are classified as operating activities in the Company's consolidated condensed statements of cash flows. Cash received from collections of sold receivables may be used to fund additional purchases of receivables on a revolving basis or to return all or any portion of outstanding capital of the Purchasers. Subsequent collections of the pledged receivables, which have not been sold, are classified as operating cash flows at the time of collection. Total receivables sold under the RPA were $102.7 million and $205.0 million for the quarter and year-to-date ended June 29, 2024, respectively. Total receivables sold under the RPA were $182.4 million and $365.6 million for the quarter and year-to-date ended July 1, 2023, respectively. Total cash collections under the RPA were $104.1 million and $205.8 million in the quarter and year-to-date ended June 29, 2024, respectively. Total cash collections under the RPA were $196.8 million and $372.8 million in the quarter and year-to-date ended July 1, 2023, respectively. The fair value of the sold receivables approximated book value due to their credit quality and short-term nature, and as a result, no gain or loss on sale of receivables was recorded. As of the fiscal quarters ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023, the amount sold to the Purchasers under the RPA was $93.0 million and $135.5 million, respectively, which was derecognized from the consolidated condensed balance sheets. As collateral against sold receivables, Rockford ARS maintains a certain level of unsold receivables, which were $53.6 million and $68.5 million as of the fiscal quarters ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023, respectively.

Income Taxes (Notes)	Jun. 29, 2024
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES The Company maintains management and operational activities in overseas subsidiaries, and its foreign earnings are taxed at rates that are different than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate. A significant amount of the Company’s earnings are generated by its Canadian, European and Asian subsidiaries and, to a lesser extent, in jurisdictions that are not subject to income tax. The Company intends to permanently reinvest all non-cash undistributed earnings outside of the U.S. and has therefore not established a deferred tax liability on that amount of foreign unremitted earnings. However, if these non-cash undistributed earnings were repatriated, the Company would be required to accrue and pay applicable U.S. taxes and withholding taxes payable to various countries. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of the deferred tax liability associated with these non-cash unremitted earnings due to the complexity of the hypothetical calculation. The Company’s effective tax rates for the quarter and year-to-date ended June 29, 2024 were 13.1% and 47.8%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates for the quarter and year-to-date ended July 1, 2023 were 19.8% and 27.8%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate between 2024 and 2023 for the quarter-to-date period is due to an increase in discrete tax benefits recognized in the current year, as well as lower pretax income, which increases the impact of the discrete benefits on the effective tax rate. The increase in the effective tax rate between 2024 and 2023 for the year-to-date period is driven by lower pretax income in the current year, which increases the impact of the discrete tax expenses on the effective tax rate. The Company is subject to periodic audits by U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax authorities. Currently, the Company is undergoing routine periodic audits in both U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax jurisdictions. It is reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits could change in the next 12 months as a result of the audits; however, any payment of tax is not expected to be significant to the consolidated condensed financial statements. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2020 in the majority of tax jurisdictions.

Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for a complete presentation of the financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in the accompanying financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K.
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year is the 52 or 53-week period that ends on the Saturday nearest to December 31. Fiscal years 2024 and 2023 each have 52 weeks. The Company reports its quarterly results of operations on the basis of 13-week quarters for each of the first three fiscal quarters and a 13 or 14-week period for the fourth fiscal quarter. References to particular years or quarters refer to the Company’s fiscal years ended on the Saturday nearest to December 31 or the fiscal quarters within those years.
Seasonality	Seasonality The Company experiences moderate fluctuations in sales volume during the year, as reflected in quarterly revenue. The Company expects current seasonal sales patterns to continue in future years. The Company also experiences some fluctuation in its levels of working capital, typically reflecting an increase in net working capital requirements near the end of the first and third fiscal quarters as inventory builds to support peak shipping periods. Historically, cash provided by operating activities is higher in the second half of the fiscal year due to collection of wholesale channel receivables and direct-to-consumer sales being higher during the holiday season. The Company meets its working capital requirements through internal operating cash flows and, as needed, borrowings under its revolving credit facility, as discussed in more detail under the caption "Liquidity and Capital Resources" in Item 2: "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations". The Company's working capital could also be impacted by other events, including health crises.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or an asset group may not be recoverable. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. Assets are considered impaired if the carrying amount exceeds fair value. The impairment amount recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair value.
