Deckers Brands Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2017 Financial Results
GOLETA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 2, 2017--Deckers Brands (NYSE: DECK), a global leader in designing, marketing and distributing innovative footwear, apparel and accessories, today announced financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2016.
Throughout this release, references to Non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain restructuring and other charges. Additional information regarding these Non-GAAP financial measures is set forth under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
“While the slow start to the holiday season limited our reorder opportunities and led to a shortfall in third quarter sales and earnings, sell-through of the UGG® brand accelerated sharply late in the quarter. Our December performance helped drive a positive 4.7% Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) comparable sales increase and also ensured that our wholesale partners ended the calendar year with cleaner inventory levels compared with a year ago. While we are disappointed that our overall results fell short of projections, we are confident that our product, pricing and distribution strategies will benefit the long-term health of the UGG brand,” said Dave Powers, President and CEO.
“With the accelerated change that we are seeing in the marketplace, we plan to further transform our operating structure in order to grow profitably and become more nimble. On top of approximately $60 million in previously announced SG&A and gross margin improvements, we have identified approximately $90 million of additional savings that we plan to implement over the course of the next two fiscal years, which we anticipate will ultimately more than offset future investments aimed at growing the business. These new initiatives will better position the Company to succeed in a more competitive and faster paced environment, drive improved profitability, and deliver greater shareholder value,” said Powers.
Third quarter results include charges of $128.9 million related to the write-down of Sanuk® brand goodwill and intangible assets, retail impairments and other restructuring related charges. The Sanuk brand impairment charge was $118.0 million, retail related charges were $9.0 million and other restructuring charges totaled $1.9 million. While Sanuk continues to be an important brand in the casual canvas and sandal categories, our current expectations for future international and domestic expansion are more limited than our initial estimates.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present certain Non-GAAP financial measures in this press release, including Non-GAAP SG&A expenses, Non-GAAP operating income and Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, to provide information that may assist investors in understanding our financial results and assessing our prospects for future performance. We believe these Non-GAAP financial measures are important indicators of our operating performance because they exclude items that are unrelated to, and may not be indicative of, our core operating results, such as restructuring charges relating to retail store closures and office consolidations. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of certain costs and charges allows for a more meaningful comparison of our results from period to period. These Non-GAAP measures, as we calculate them, may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and may not be appropriate measures for comparing the performance of other companies relative to Deckers. These Non-GAAP financial results are not intended to represent, and should not be considered to be more meaningful measures than, or alternatives to, measures of operating performance as determined in accordance with GAAP. To the extent we utilize such Non-GAAP financial measures in the future, we expect to calculate them using a consistent method from period to period. A reconciliation of each of the financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided under the heading “Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Measures to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in the financial statement tables included below.
