                    Deficiency Letter from NASDAQ

    GOLETA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 6, 2005--Deckers Outdoor
Corporation (NASDAQ: DECK) today announced that the Company received a
NASDAQ Staff deficiency letter on October 3, 2005 indicating that the
Company fails to comply with the independent director requirement for
continued listing set forth in Marketplace Rule 4350(c)(1), which
requires a listed company to have a majority of independent directors
serving on its board.
    As a result of President and Chief Executive Officer Angel
Martinez's appointment to the Board of Directors on September 16,
2005, the Company's Board presently has six members, composed of three
independent directors. NASDAQ has requested the Company to provide, on
or before October 18, 2005, a specific plan and timetable to achieve
compliance with Marketplace Rule 4350(c)(1).
    Doug Otto, Chairman of the Board, stated "We have initiated a
search for a new independent director and we intend to be fully
compliant as soon as possible."
    Deckers Outdoor Corporation builds niche products into global
lifestyle brands by designing and marketing innovative, functional and
fashion-oriented footwear, developed for both high performance outdoor
activities and everyday casual lifestyle use. The Company's products
are offered under the Teva, Simple and UGG brand names.
