    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.

    DATE: January 11, 2012 TO: Board of Commissioners FROM: Patrick Quinton, Executive Director SUBJECT: Report Number 11-80 Update on the Athletic and Outdoor Industry Cluster EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BOARD ACTION REQUESTED None ─ information only. SUMMARY The athletic and outdoor (A&O) industry was identified as one of four target industry clusters in the City of Portland‟s five-year Economic Development Strategy (Strategy). In November 2010, the Portland Development Commission (PDC) unveiled an industry defined action plan (see Attachment A), an online directory of firms and an “infographic” poster (see Attachment B) that provides a visual representation of cluster business connections and industry evolution over time. The A&O action plan acts as the guiding framework to further Portland‟s competitiveness and recognition as the hub of the A&O industry, enhance collaboration within the industry, and to attract and retain A&O businesses, talent, and jobs. The action plan was a result of extensive conversations with industry leaders. Key components of the action plan include Leadership/Innovation, Talent, Entrepreneurship/Community, and Branding. Since November 2010, an advisory committee composed of representatives from Nike, Columbia Sportswear, Icebreaker, Yakima, and Horny Toad/Nau has taken the lead in driving implementation of the action plan. At the PDC Board meeting, staff will give an update on recent action plan accomplishments such as sponsorship of the Outdoor Industry Association‟s Rendezvous event, the creation and unveiling of a film that promotes Portland‟s prominence as an A&O hub, and the December 6, 2011 A&O industry celebration. BACKGROUND The Economic Development Strategy is predicated on the implementation of a cluster approach to create jobs.

Professional female surfers, in particular, are drawing greater media attention than ever before and are seen by surf companies as the perfect vehicle to develop this global industry further. Because lifestyle branding has been developed as a modern marketing strategy, this thesis examines the lifestyle marketing practices of the three major surfing companies Billabong, Rip Curl and Quicksilver/Roxy through an investigation of the sponsorship experiences of fifteen sponsored female surfers. The research paradigm guiding this study is an interpretive approach that applies Doris Lessing’s (1991) concept of conformity and Michel Foucault’s (1979) notion of surveillance and the technologies of the self. An ethnographic approach was utilised to examine the main research purpose, namely to: determine the impact of lifestyle marketing by Billabong, Rip Curl and Quicksilver/Roxy on sponsored female surfers.
