“We are encouraged by these results as they demonstrate that the strategic decisions and cost-cutting measures we took in 2020 enabled us to be profitable at diminished sales volume. As we look ahead to 2021, we believe that at least the first half of the year will continue to be impacted by the pandemic, but with the rollout of vaccines, we are hoping to see an improved retail environment and consequently, higher sales, in the second half of the year,” Florsheim Jr said.
