Deckers Outdoor Corporation Reports Record First Quarter 2011 Financial Results
Company Reports First Quarter Sales Increased 31.4% to a Record $204.9 Million
First Quarter Diluted EPS Increased 6.5% to a Record $0.49 on a Post-Split Basis, Compared to $0.46 a Year Ago on a Post-Split Basis
Company Raises 2011 Sales and Earnings Outlook
GOLETA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 28, 2011--Deckers Outdoor Corporation (NASDAQGS: DECK) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.
First Quarter Highlights
“We delivered a good start to the year,” said Angel Martinez, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board of Directors. “We believe that our strategies to diversify our merchandise assortments and extend the global reach of our brands are being executed successfully. The favorable response to the UGG brand’s spring line of fashion sandals, sneakers, slippers and boots drove gains in our domestic wholesale, consumer direct, and international distribution channels. We achieved solid results with the Teva brand as well, with our new collection of closed toe footwear and expanded sandal offerings resonating with consumers. The first quarter was also highlighted by the commencement of our conversion to wholesale operations in our largest international market, the United Kingdom, and expansion of our existing business in our second largest market, Benelux. For the most part, these transitions have gone smoothly, and in addition to the immediate financial benefits, we are optimistic about the long-term growth opportunities these conversions will create for our Company. Furthermore, we are also optimistic that the brand investments we are currently making will also fuel domestic and international market share gains in the years ahead.”
Division Summary
UGG® Brand
UGG brand net sales for the first quarter increased 42.2% to $148.4 million compared to $104.4 million for the same period last year. The sales increase was primarily attributable to the conversion to a wholesale business model in the United Kingdom, Benelux and France, strong sales of the spring line at company-owned retail stores, and increased shipments of spring product to domestic wholesale accounts.
Teva® Brand
Teva brand net sales for the first quarter increased 16.8% to $50.4 million compared to $43.2 million for the same period last year. The sales growth was primarily the result of increased domestic demand for the expanded spring line of open and closed toe footwear, as well as from the conversion to a wholesale business model in the United Kingdom.
Other Brands
Combined net sales of the Company’s other brands decreased 28.3% to $6.0 million for the first quarter compared to $8.4 million for the same period last year. The decline in sales was primarily the result of lower sell-in of the Simple® and Ahnu® brands during the first quarter compared with the same period last year.
Retail Stores
Sales for the retail store business, which are included in the brand sales numbers above, increased 52.8% to $35.4 million for the first quarter compared to $23.1 million for the same period last year. This increase was driven by nine new stores and a same store sales increase of 2.6% for those stores that were open for the full three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2011.
eCommerce
Sales for the eCommerce business, which are included in the brand sales numbers above, increased 27.3% to $23.5 million for the first quarter compared to $18.4 million for the same period last year. This increase was primarily attributable to higher demand for the UGG brand driven by new product introductions and enhanced marketing efforts combined with the launch of the UGG brand’s United Kingdom website.
Balance Sheet
At March 31, 2011, cash and cash equivalents increased 22.5% to $437.9 million compared to $357.3 million at March 31, 2010. Inventories at March 31, 2011 increased 55.6% to $107.1 million from $68.8 million at March 31, 2010. By brand, UGG inventory increased $24.5 million to $68.9 million at March 31, 2011, Teva inventory increased $12.0 million to $30.7 million at March 31, 2011, and other brands inventory increased $1.9 million to $7.5 million at March 31, 2011. The increase in inventories as of March 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to a larger spring 2011 assortment for the UGG brand, the growth in spring orders for the UGG and Teva brands, the warehousing of spring 2011 inventory supporting our continued conversion from an international distributor model to an international wholesale model, and increased retail stores.
