Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On July 30, 2024, Rocky Brands, Inc. ("Rocky") issued a press release entitled "Rocky Brands, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2024 Results" regarding its condensed consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. A copy of Rocky's press release is furnished as Exhibit 99 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this Form 8-K and accompanying press release is being furnished under Item 2.02 and shall not be deemed to be "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
The information contained or incorporated by reference in this Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. Those statements include, but may not be limited to, all statements regarding intent, beliefs, expectations, projections, forecasts, and plans of Rocky and its management. These forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, the various risks inherent in Rocky's business as set forth in periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Rocky's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (filed March 15, 2024) and the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 (filed May 9, 2024). One or more of these factors have affected historical results, and could in the future affect Rocky's businesses and financial results in future periods and could cause actual results to differ materially from plans and projections. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this Form 8-K will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, Rocky, or any other person should not regard the inclusion of such information as a representation that the objectives and plans of Rocky will be achieved. All forward-looking statements made in this Form 8-K are based on information presently available to the management of Rocky. Rocky assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
