Rocky Brands, Inc. announced that for 2020, it anticipates revenue increasing in the low single-digit range over 2019 levels led by its retail division, followed by wholesale. Following the industry challenges, its military segment faced this past year, combined with the expiration of a multi-year contract midway through last year, the company expects military sales to be down approximately $4 million. This guidance assumes company's sales are impacted due to some inventory constraints beginning at the end of the first quarter as a result of delays at its Chinese manufacturing partners from the coronavirus outbreak. Without this impact, the company anticipates revenue to grow in the mid-single-digit range.
