The Carolina Cup, Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina – Aerial Images ILM WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH, NORTH CAROLINA, USA – The Carolina Cup, the world’s largest festival combining paddle races, clinics, product displays, and entertainment has attracted the support of Quiksilver Waterman as title sponsor. “We are honored to have them on board and this is a great match,” said Mark Schmidt, Race Director. “The Carolina Cup is a preeminent international paddle race festival, and Quiksilver is a global provider of exceptional products to the paddle and watersports community.” The 8th annual Quiksilver Waterman Carolina Cup will draw thousands of spectators and more than 1,000 event participants. Races, clinics, expos, entertainment, and festivities will be in Wrightsville Beach, April 18-22, 2018.

    2020 Annual Report Annual 2020

    2020 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 ANNUAL SKECHERS USA, INC. 228 Manhattan Beach Blvd. REPORT Manhattan Beach, California 90266 February 2021 To our Shareholders, We would like to express our sincere hope that you and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy during this on-going health crisis. We began 2020 with the same positive momentum that drove record revenues in 2019. The first quarter showed significant growth until COVID-19 leaped from Asia to Europe, the United States and virtually every market around the globe. By the end of March, most of the world pressed pause as the pandemic took hold and within weeks, we temporarily closed offices and stores, and faced a new normal of doing business and living. At Skechers, the ability to pivot quickly has been a hallmark of our business and success since our beginning. 2020 put our flexibility to the test as we adapted to this new reality. With the global infrastructure we have in place, our teams around the world were able to effectively work from home. The speed of our actions early on allowed us to weather the worst of the pandemic in the first and second quarters with as minimal impact as possible considering the unprecedented challenges. By the close of the second quarter, China had already returned to sales growth of 11.5 percent, and many of our biggest international markets, including Germany and the United Kingdom, showed meaningful recovery. Our quick action and our efforts to efficiently manage both inventory and expenses also resulted in Skechers emerging in a relatively strong position as markets began to re-open.
