Division Summary

UGG Brand
UGG brand net sales for the first quarter increased 7.9% to $170.6 million compared to $158.1 million for the same period last year. The increase in sales was driven by higher global retail sales from new store openings and an increase in same store sales, combined with an increase in global eCommerce sales, partially offset by lower domestic and international wholesale sales.

Teva Brand
Teva brand net sales for the first quarter increased 3.6% to $51.6 million compared to $49.8 million for the same period last year. The increase in sales was driven by gains in domestic wholesale and international distributor sales, partially offset by lower international wholesale sales.

Sanuk Brand
Sanuk brand net sales for the first quarter decreased 4.4% to $30.9 million compared to $32.4 million for the same period last year. Increased domestic wholesale and eCommerce sales were offset by a decline in international distributor sales due primarily to inventory build up at some key distributors.

Other Brands

-1-


Combined net sales of the Company’s other brands increased 76.3% to $10.6 million for the first quarter compared to $6.0 million for the same period last year. The increase was primarily attributable to the addition of the HOKA ONE ONE® brand which was acquired in September 2012.

Retail Stores
Sales for the global retail store business, which are included in the brand sales numbers above, increased 37.6% to $63.6 million for the first quarter compared to $46.2 million for the same period last year. This increase was driven by 29 new stores opened after the first quarter of 2012 and a 6.6% same store sales increase for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2013 compared to the thirteen weeks ending April 1, 2012.

eCommerce
Sales for the global eCommerce business, which are included in the brand sales numbers above, increased 22.6% to $26.6 million for the first quarter compared to $21.7 million for the same period last year. The sales increase was driven primarily by strong domestic and international sales for the UGG brand, increased domestic sales of the Sanuk brand, and the addition of new international eCommerce websites.

Balance Sheet
At March 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents were $64.6 million compared to $228.6 million at March 31, 2012. The Company had $10.0 million in outstanding borrowings under its credit facility at March 31, 2013 and no outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2012. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents and increase in outstanding borrowings are primarily attributable to $200.7 million of cash payments for common stock repurchases and $62.5 million of cash expenditures primarily related to retail expansion and the Company’s new headquarters facility, partially offset by cash provided by operations.
 
Inventories at March 31, 2013 increased 23.3% to $257.1 million from $208.5 million at March 31, 2012. By brand, UGG inventory increased $42.5 million to $201.5 million at March 31, 2013, Teva inventory increased $0.5 million to $31.3 million at March 31, 2013, Sanuk inventory increased $3.0 million to $15.1 million at March 31, 2013, and the other brands’ inventory increased $2.6 million to $9.2 million at March 31, 2013.

Full-Year 2013 Outlook
Based on first quarter results and current visibility, the Company still expects full year revenues to increase approximately 7% over 2012 levels.
The Company still expects full year diluted earnings per share to increase approximately 5% over 2012 levels with a gross profit margin of approximately 46.5% and an operating margin of approximately 12.5%.

Second Quarter Outlook
The Company currently expects second quarter 2013 revenue to be approximately flat with 2012.
The Company currently expects to report a second quarter 2013 diluted loss per share of approximately $(1.10) compared to the diluted loss per share of $(0.53) reported in the second quarter of 2012.
As a reminder, a significant amount of our operating expenses are fixed and spread evenly on an absolute dollar basis throughout each quarter. This includes the costs associated with the 24 new stores that were not open until the second half of 2012. Therefore, we expect our earnings to decline in the first half of 2013 as compared to the first half of 2012, which are typically our lowest volume sales quarters, and increase over 2012 in the back half of the year.

All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this press release, including statements regarding our future financial performance and business strategies, are forward-looking statements. We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “project,” “plan,” “predict,” “should,” “will,” and similar expressions, or the negative of these expressions, as they relate to us, our management and our industry, to identify forward-looking statements. We have based our forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about trends affecting our business and industry and other future events.  Although we do not make forward-looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy. As a result, actual results may differ materially from the results stated in or implied by our forward-looking statements. Some of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: changes in economic or market conditions; the financial success of our customers and the risk of losing one or more of our key customers; our ability to adequately protect our intellectual property rights and deter counterfeiting; the sensitivity of our sales to seasonality and the effect of weather conditions; the quality and price of raw materials, most notably sheepskin; our ability to realize returns on our new and existing retail stores; our ability to accurately forecast consumer demand; our ability to anticipate fashion trends; our ability to successfully implement our growth strategies, including enhancing the position of our brands and expanding our distribution channels; the impairment of our goodwill and other intangible assets; our dependence on independent manufacturers located outside of the U.S., and the challenge of maintaining a continuous supply of quality finished goods; risks of conducting business outside the U.S., including foreign currency and global liquidity risks; our ability to protect sensitive customer and company information and prevent the failure or interruption of key business processes; our ability to attract and retain key personnel; the loss of our warehouses; the international markets in which we sell our products are subject to a variety of laws and political and economic risks; risks related to international trade, import regulations and security procedures, liquidity and market risks for our cash and cash equivalents; risks associated with our revolving credit facility, including negative covenants that may restrict our ability to take certain actions; tax laws applicable to our business are very complicated and we could be subject to additional income tax liabilities; our ability to compete effectively with our competition; the effect of existing and future litigation on our business; and the volatility of the price of our common stock. Certain of these risks and uncertainties are more fully described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 1, 2013, as well as in our other filings with the SEC. In addition, actual results may differ as a result of additional risks and uncertainties of which we are currently unaware or which we do not currently view as material to our business.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained in this press release, which speak only as of the date of this press release. You should read this press release with the understanding that our future results may be materially different from what we currently expect.  We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements and we expressly disclaim any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date hereof to conform such statements to actual results or to changes in our opinions or expectations, except as required by applicable law or the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market.
