WEYS Weyco Group Inc

Weyco Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: WEYS) (the “Company”) announced that today its Board of Directors declared a special one-time cash dividend of $2.00 per share, for a total of approximately $19.0 million based on the number of shares currently outstanding. The dividend will be paid on January 2, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 18, 2024.

“We are pleased to announce this return of capital to shareholders,” stated Thomas W. Florsheim, Jr., Chairman and CEO. “Our strong financial performance over the past few years led to a buildup of cash in excess of the amount necessary to fund operations, capital expenditures, and fulfill corporate obligations. As a result, we are returning capital to shareholders in the form of a one-time special cash dividend alongside our regular quarterly dividend. Looking ahead, we believe our strong balance sheet and liquidity will continue to allow us to fund organic growth, invest in our business, and remain opportunistic with respect to future strategic opportunities or share repurchases.”
