Operating margin of 10.6% (calculated from $29.17 million operating income) is slightly above the 9.8% median for footwear companies. The company's revenue is concentrated in the U.S., with 78% of total revenue derived from domestic operations, and 22% from international markets.

The company has no dilution potential in basic shares and no adjustments applied to valuation metrics. The absence of long-term debt and high cash reserves further reduce financial risk.
