GOLETA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 25, 2007--Deckers Outdoor
Corporation (NASDAQ: DECK) today announced financial results for the
third quarter ended September 30, 2007.
Third Quarter Highlights
-- Net sales increased 57.2% to $129.4 million compared to $82.3
million last year.
-- Diluted EPS increased 81.5% to $1.47 from $0.81, as restated,
and ahead of previous guidance of approximately $1.20
-- UGG(R) Brand sales increased 67.5% to $113.7 million compared
to $67.9 million a year ago.
-- Total international sales increased 58.0% to $14.2 million
compared to $9.0 million last year.
Angel Martinez, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated,
"Our record third quarter performance was driven by strong full price
selling of UGG brand product throughout the United States coupled with
growing demand for the brand overseas. Consumer reaction to the UGG
brand's fall line has been extremely favorable which we believe
underscores the progress we have made evolving the product offering,
increasing the breadth and depth of each collection and enhancing the
brand's image as the leader in luxury comfort. In addition, our
success at penetrating new geographic regions, increasing shelf space
and broadening our target market also contributed to our better than
expected results. We move forward with positive momentum in our
business, a solid infrastructure to support our growth objectives both
domestically and overseas, and a long-term strategic development plan
designed to maximize the opportunities for each of our leading
brands."
Segment Summary
UGG(R)
UGG Brand net sales for the third quarter increased 67.5% to
$113.7 million compared to $67.9 million in the third quarter of 2006.
Domestic sales were fueled by robust consumer demand for the entire
product line, including boots, slippers, casuals, men's, kids', and
the new high-end fashion collection, coupled with strong international
growth.
Teva(R)
Teva Brand net sales for the third quarter increased 12.1% to
$11.2 million compared to $10.0 million for the same period last year.
Teva's results were driven by increased sell-through for sandals as
well as the positive reaction to the brand's expanded closed-toe
product offering.
Simple(R)
Simple Brand net sales were $4.4 million for both the third
quarter of 2007 and the third quarter of 2006. Simple's performance
was negatively impacted by shipping delays for ecoSNEAKS(TM) as a
result of production issues, which have been resolved. Despite this,
ecoSNEAKS(TM) had a very solid debut across multiple channels of
distribution while Green Toe(R) was successful in opening more
mainstream accounts this fall.
Consumer Direct
Sales for the Consumer Direct business, which are included in the
brand sales numbers above, increased 82.3% to $10.6 million compared
to $5.8 million for the same period a year ago, mostly due to an
increase in UGG Brand internet sales. In addition, results for the
third quarter of 2007 included sales from the Company's UGG Brand
flagship store in New York City and two retail outlet stores in
Riverhead and Woodbury Common, New York, which were not in operation
in the third quarter of 2006.
Full-Year 2007 Outlook
-- The Company is increasing its 2007 full year revenue growth
target to approximately 39% over 2006, up from previous
guidance of approximately 35%.
-- The Company is increasing its 2007 full year diluted earnings
per share growth target to approximately 35% over 2006 before
the restatement adjustments as disclosed in the Company's Form
10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the $15.3
million pre-tax impairment loss attributable to our Teva
trademark that was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2006, up
from previous guidance of approximately 25%.
-- Fiscal 2007 guidance includes approximately $5.3 million of
stock compensation expense, an increase of $3.2 million over
2006, and approximately $2.4 million of expenses related to
the investigation and restatement of the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
Fourth Quarter Outlook
-- The Company is also increasing its fourth quarter 2007 revenue
target to approximately 35% and its diluted earnings per share
target to approximately 15% compared to the fourth quarter of
2006, before the restatement adjustment and impairment charge.
This is up from its previous revenue and diluted earnings per
share growth targets of 30% and 10%, respectively.
The Company's conference call to review third quarter fiscal 2007
results will be broadcast live over the internet today, Thursday,
October 25, 2007 at 4:30 pm Eastern Time. The broadcast will be hosted
