On April 18, 2018, Skechers announced its financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2018, reporting Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") expense growth of 23.4%, which significantly exceeded the Company's 16.5% sales growth for the quarter.  Following this news, Skechers' stock price fell $11.38, or 27.04%, from a closing price of $42.08 on April 19, 2018, to close at $30.70 on April 20, 2018. 

Then, on July 19, 2018, Skechers announced its financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2018, reporting SG&A expense growth of 19.7%, nearly twice its sales growth of 10.6% for the quarter, causing earnings from operations to decrease by 5.7% and net earnings to decline by almost 24%.  During a conference call with analysts, Skechers indicated that decreasing its SG&A expense growth was not a priority for the Company, stating that "[w]e just don't necessarily think that way.  We're into growth."  On this news, Skechers' stock price fell $6.98, or nearly 21%, to close at $26.27 on July 20, 2018.
