CROCS, INC. REPORTS FISCAL 2008 FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

NIWOT, COLORADO – May 7, 2008 – Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ: CROX) today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

 

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 increased 39.8% to $198.5 million compared to $142.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.  For the quarter ended March 31, 2008 domestic sales rose approximately 11.7% to $92.6 million compared to $83.0 million for the same period a year ago, and international sales increased 79.5% to $105.9 million from $59.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.  The Company reported a net loss of $4.5 million, or ($0.05) per share, compared to net income of $24.9 million, or $0.31 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. On a Non GAAP basis, excluding a portion of the $12.1 million after-tax charge associated with the shutdown of the Company’s Canadian manufacturing operations, the Company reported net income of $7.6 million, or $0.09 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2008. Net loss per share and net income per diluted share for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 are adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split that took effect in June 2007. Gross profit for the first quarter of 2008 was $85.2 million, or 42.9% of revenues, compared to $84.5 million, or 59.5% of revenues for the first quarter of 2007.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were $77.0 million, or 38.8% of revenues, compared to $47.3 million, or 33.3% of revenues in the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

 

Ron Snyder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Crocs, Inc. commented: “As we previously announced, our first quarter domestic sales came in below our original projections due to a combination of factors, including slower traffic at many of our retail partners and colder than normal temperatures that delayed the start to the spring selling season. Overseas, we experienced significant sales increases in Europe and Asia which were up 109.2% and 92.5% from the first quarter of last year, respectively; however this was not enough to offset the shortfall in our U.S. business. While we are disappointed with our start to the new year, we remain confident about the strength of our brand, optimistic about our future prospects, and committed to executing our long-term strategic plan.”

 

Guidance

 

For the year ending December 31, 2008, Crocs reaffirmed its previously revised outlook of revenue growth between 15% and 20% over 2007 levels with diluted earnings per share in the range of approximately $1.54 to $1.64, including the total pre-tax charges of approximately $20 million, or $0.16 per diluted share associated with the shutdown of the Company’s Canadian manufacturing operations. Excluding the charge, fiscal 2008 diluted earnings per share are expected to be between $1.70 and $1.80.

 

For the quarter ending June 30, 2008, the Company reiterated that it expects revenues to increase approximately 10% to 15% over the corresponding period in 2007, with diluted earnings per share in the range of $0.42 to $0.47 including a portion of the aforementioned pre-tax charges associated with the shutdown of the Company’s Canadian manufacturing operations equaling approximately $4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share. Excluding this charge, the Company expects second quarter 2008 diluted earnings per share in the range of $0.45 to $0.50.

As the Company reported a net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the dilutive effect of stock options and awards did not enter into the computation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

In management's opinion, these non-GAAP measures are important indicators of the continuing operations of our business and provide better comparability between reporting periods because they exclude items that may not be indicative of current period results.
