“Our North American wholesale business had strong earnings growth in 2019, fuelled by record sales of our Florsheim brand,” Thomas Florsheim, Jr, the company’s chairman and CEO, said in a press release. “The Bogs brand also delivered strong results for the year, contributing to the overall success in this segment. At retail, our sales and earnings improved due to the growth of our domestic e-commerce websites. Gains in our North American businesses were partially offset by losses at Florsheim Australia, due to the challenging retail environment overseas. We have been working hard to turn these businesses around in an effort to improve Florsheim Australia’s bottom line in 2020.”
