- Third Quarter Diluted EPS Up 17% to $3.36 and Adjusted Diluted EPS Up 11% to
$3.60
- Third Quarter Revenues Increase 2% to $1.06 Billion
- Third Quarter Crocs Brand Grows 8% Constant Currency
Fueled By Balanced Channel Growth
BROOMFIELD, Colo., Oct. 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ: CROX), a
world leader in innovative casual footwear for all, today announced
its third quarter 2024 financial results.
"We reported third quarter results which exceeded our Enterprise
guidance on sales and profitability," said Andrew Rees, Chief Executive Officer. "Our
overall performance including strong gross margin gains allowed us
to accelerate our strategic investments in the quarter while
continuing to deliver earnings per share growth through the
deployment of our strong cash flow. Strength was led by our Crocs
Brand fueled by 17% international and 8% direct-to-consumer
growth."
Mr. Rees continued, "We have sharpened our strategy around
HEYDUDE as we work to create higher brand relevance through our
product and marketing initiatives. While we are seeing early green
shoots from these actions, HEYDUDE's recent performance and the
current operating environment are signaling it will take longer
than we had initially planned for the brand to turn a corner. While
we are resetting our full-year outlook for HEYDUDE, I remain
confident in the long-term trajectory of the brand."
Amounts referred to as "Adjusted" or "Non-GAAP" are Non-GAAP
measures and include adjustments that are described under the
heading "Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures." A
reconciliation of these amounts to their GAAP counterparts are
contained in the schedules below.
Third Quarter 2024 Operating Results (Compared to
the Same Period Last Year)
- Consolidated revenues were $1,062
million, an increase of 1.6%, or 2.0% on a constant currency

constant currency basis. Wholesale revenues contracted 1.4%, or
0.9% on a constant currency basis.
- Gross margin was 59.6% compared to 55.6%. Adjusted gross
margin improved 220 basis points to 59.6% compared to 57.4%.
- Selling, general, and administrative expenses

increased 18.1% from $308 million,
and represented 34.2% of revenues compared to 29.4%. Adjusted
SG&A of $364 million increased
19.4% from $305 million, and
represented 34.2% of revenues compared to 29.1%.
- Income from operations of $270
million decreased 1.5% from $274
million, resulting in operating margin of 25.4% compared to
26.2%. Adjusted income from operations of $270 million decreased 8.8% from $296 million, resulting in adjusted operating
margin of 25.4% compared to 28.3%.

$3.60 increased 10.8% from

CROCS, INC. AND
SUBSIDIARIES
RECONCILIATION OF GAAP MEASURES TO NON-GAAP
MEASURES
In addition to financial measures presented on the basis of
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), we
present "Non-GAAP gross profit," "Non-GAAP gross margin," "Non-GAAP
gross margin by brand," "Non-GAAP selling, general, and
administrative expenses," "Non-GAAP selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percent of revenues," "Non-GAAP income
from operations," "Non-GAAP operating margin," "Non-GAAP income
before income taxes," "Non-GAAP income tax expense," "Non-GAAP
effective tax rate," "Non-GAAP net income," and "Non-GAAP basic and
diluted net income per common share," which are non-GAAP financial
measures. We also present future period guidance for "Non-GAAP
operating margin," "Non-GAAP effective tax rate," and "Non-GAAP
diluted earnings per share." Non-GAAP results exclude the impact of
items that management believes affect the comparability or
underlying business trends in our condensed consolidated financial
statements in the periods presented.
We also present certain information related to our current
period results of operations through "constant currency," which is
a non-GAAP financial measure and should be viewed as a supplement
to our results of operations and presentation of reportable
segments under GAAP. Constant currency represents current period
results that have been retranslated using exchange rates used in
the prior year comparative period to enhance the visibility of the
underlying business trends excluding the impact of foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations.
Management uses non-GAAP results to assist in comparing business
trends from period to period on a consistent basis in
communications with the board of directors, stockholders, analysts,
and investors concerning our financial performance. We believe that
these non-GAAP measures, in addition to corresponding GAAP
measures, are useful to investors and other users of our condensed
consolidated financial statements as an additional tool for
evaluating operating performance and trends by providing meaningful
information about operations compared to our peers by excluding the
impacts of various differences.
Management believes Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP gross
margin, and Non-GAAP gross margin by brand are useful performance
measures for investors because they provide investors with a means
of comparing these measures between periods without the impact of
certain expenses that we believe are not indicative of our routine
cost of sales. Our routine cost of sales includes core product
costs and distribution expenses primarily related to receiving,
inspecting, warehousing, and packaging product and transportation
costs associated with delivering products from distribution
centers. Costs not indicative of our routine cost of sales may or
may not be recurring in nature and include costs to expand and
transition to new distribution centers.
Management believes Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative
expenses and Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses
as a percent of revenues are useful performance measures for
investors because they provide a more meaningful comparison to
prior periods and may be indicative of the level of such expenses
to be incurred in future periods. These measures exclude the impact
of certain expenses not related to our normal operations, such as
costs related to the integration of HEYDUDE and other costs that
are expected to be non-recurring in nature.
Non-GAAP income from operations and Non-GAAP operating margin
reflect the impact of Non-GAAP gross profit and Non-GAAP selling,
general, and administrative expenses, as discussed above. We
believe these are useful performance measures for investors because
they provide a useful basis to compare performance in the period to
prior periods.
Non-GAAP income before income taxes reflects the impact of
Non-GAAP income from operations, as discussed above. We believe
this is a useful performance measure for investors because it
provides a useful basis to compare performance in the period to
prior periods.
Management believes Non-GAAP income tax expense is a useful
performance measure for investors because it provides a basis to
compare our tax rates to historical tax rates, and because the
adjustment is necessary in order to calculate Non-GAAP net
income.
Management believes Non-GAAP effective tax rate is a useful
performance measure for investors because it provides an ongoing
effective tax rate that they can use for historical comparisons and
forecasting.
Management believes Non-GAAP net income is a useful performance
measure for investors because it focuses on underlying operating
results and trends and improves the comparability of our results to
prior periods. This measure reflects the impact of Non-GAAP gross
profit, Non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses, and
Non-GAAP income tax expense, as described above.
Management believes Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per
common share are useful performance measures for investors because
they focus on underlying operating results and trends and improve
the comparability of our results to prior periods. These measures
reflect the impact of Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP selling,
general, and administrative expenses, and Non-GAAP income tax
expense, as described above.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, management believes it is
helpful to evaluate our results excluding the impacts of various
adjustments relating to special or non-recurring items. Investors
should not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation from, or
as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance
with GAAP.

In the fourth quarter
of 2023, and previously in 2021 and 2020, we made changes to our
international legal structure, including an intra-entity transfer
of certain intellectual property rights, primarily to align with
current and future international operations. The transfers resulted
in a step-up in the tax basis of intellectual property rights and
correlated increases in foreign deferred tax assets based on the
fair value of the transferred intellectual property rights. This
adjustment represents the current period impact of these
transfers.

Non-GAAP Financial Guidance
Our forward-looking guidance for consolidated "adjusted
operating margin," and "adjusted diluted earnings per share"
represents non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or otherwise
have been adjusted for special items from our U.S. GAAP financial
statements. We consider these items to be necessary adjustments for
purposes of evaluating our ongoing business performance and are
often considered non-recurring. Such adjustments are subjective and
involve significant management judgment.
While we are able to estimate full year non-GAAP adjustments, we
are unable to reconcile forward-looking adjusted measures to their
nearest U.S. GAAP measure quarter-by-quarter because we are unable
to predict the timing of these adjustments with a reasonable degree
of certainty. By their very nature, special and other non-core
items are difficult to anticipate with precision because they are
generally associated with unexpected and unplanned events that
impact our company and its financial results. Therefore, we are
unable to provide a reconciliation of these measures for the
guidance related to the fourth quarter of 2024.

Comparable store
status, as included in the DTC comparable sales figures above, is
determined on a monthly basis. Comparable store sales include the
revenues of stores that have been in operation for more than twelve
months. Stores in which selling square footage has changed more
than 15% as a result of a remodel, expansion, or reduction are
excluded until the thirteenth month in which they have comparable
prior year sales. Temporarily closed stores are excluded from the
comparable store sales calculation during the month of closure and
in the same month in the following year. Location closures in
excess of three months are excluded until the thirteenth month post
re-opening. E-commerce comparable revenues are based on same site
sales period over period. E-commerce sites that are temporarily
offline or unable to transact or fulfill orders ("site disruption")
are excluded from the comparable sales calculation during the month
of site disruption and in the same month in the following year.
E-commerce site disruptions in excess of three months are excluded
until the thirteenth month after the site has re-opened.
Additionally, comparable sales do not include leap days in leap
years.
