Crocs, Inc. Reports Record Third Quarter Revenue and Raises Full Year Guidance

Industry-Leading Third Quarter Operating Margin of 27%

BROOMFIELD, Colo., Nov. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ: CROX), a world leader in innovative casual footwear for women, men, and children, today announced its third quarter 2022 financial results.

“Our exceptional third quarter results, including record revenue and industry-leading adjusted operating margin of 28% are a testament to the strength of the Crocs and HEYDUDE brands,” said Andrew Rees, Chief Executive Officer. “We are raising 2022 guidance following our strong back-to-school performance and 20% constant currency revenue growth in the Crocs Brand. We are confident in our ability to continue to gain significant market share, deliver best-in-class profitability, and generate strong cash flow.”

Third Quarter 2022 Highlights

  • Consolidated revenues of $985.1 million increased 57.4%, or 63.0% on a constant currency basis, as compared to 2021.
  • Crocs Brand quarterly revenues of $715.7 million increased 14.3%, or 19.9% on a constant currency basis, as compared to 2021. Direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) comparable sales increased 18.2%.
  • Crocs Brand international revenues grew 43.7%, or 61.9% on a constant currency basis and North America DTC comparable sales rose 13.0%, as compared to 2021.
  • HEYDUDE Brand revenues were $269.4 million, up approximately 87% compared to 2021.
  • Operating margin was 26.8% and adjusted operating margin was 27.9%.
  • Diluted earnings per share was $2.72, as compared to $2.42 during the same period last year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 20.2% to $2.97.

Third Quarter 2022 Operating Results

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.

  • Revenues were $985.1 million, an increase of 57.4% from the same period last year, or 63.0% on a constant currency basis. On a constant currency basis, DTC grew 45.8%, and wholesale grew 80.5% compared to 2021.
  • Gross margin was 54.9% compared to 63.9%, and adjusted gross margin was 55.1% compared to 64.2% in the same period last year, respectively. Crocs Brand gross margin was 57.3%, or 660 basis points lower than prior year driven by approximately 200 basis points of inflationary costs and approximately 270 basis points of higher freight and inventory handling costs, of which we estimate 150 basis points to be transitory. Currency negatively impacted gross margin by 115 basis points. HEYDUDE Brand gross margin was 48.8%, which represents the continued effect of legacy freight contract costs and higher inventory storage costs as we work to expand distribution center capabilities to support a larger business.
  • Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) of $277.2 million increased from $196.7 million in the same period last year, and SG&A as a percent of revenues improved to 28.1% from 31.4% in prior year. Adjusted SG&A improved to 27.2% of revenues versus 31.4% for the same period last year. Adjusted SG&A excludes $9.1 million of costs, primarily related to the ongoing HEYDUDE integration.
  • Income from operations increased 30.0% to $264.1 million and operating margin was 26.8%, compared to 32.4% for the same period last year, due to lower gross margin and HEYDUDE integration expenses. Adjusted income from operations rose 33.8% to $274.5 million and adjusted operating margin was 27.9%.
  • Diluted earnings per share was $2.72, as compared to $2.42 for the same period last year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 20.2% to $2.97 compared to $2.47 in 2021.

Third Quarter 2022 Brand Summary

  • Crocs Brand: Revenues increased 14.3%, or 19.9% on a constant currency basis, to $715.7 million. Wholesale revenues increased 14.1%, or 21.8% on a constant currency basis. DTC comparable sales increased 18.2%.
    • North America revenues of $445.3 million increased 1.7%, or 1.8% on a constant currency basis.
    • Asia Pacific revenues of $138.5 million increased 65.5%, or 82.3% on a constant currency basis.
    • Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Latin America (“EMEALA”) revenues of $131.9 million increased 26.2%, or 45.6% on a constant currency basis.
  • HEYDUDE Brand: Revenues during the third quarter were $269.4 million. Wholesale revenues were $181.8 million and DTC revenues were $87.6 million.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

  • Cash and cash equivalents were $143.0 million as of September 30, 2022, compared to $213.2 million as of December 31, 2021.
  • Inventories increased to $513.7 million as of September 30, 2022, compared to $213.5 million as of December 31, 2021 and $212.5 million as of September 30, 2021. This increase was driven primarily by the addition of $189.5 million of HEYDUDE inventory as of September 30, 2022.
  • Capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $89.6 million, compared to $35.8 million for the same period last year, reflecting investments in our new distribution centers.
  • Borrowings were $2.62 billion as of September 30, 2022 compared to $771.4 million as of December 31, 2021, an increase driven by borrowings used to finance a portion of the HEYDUDE acquisition. Our liquidity position remains strong with $143.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $611.1 million in available borrowing capacity as of September 30, 2022. During the third quarter, we repaid $155.3 million of debt.

Financial Outlook

Full Year 2022

With respect to 2022, we expect:

  • Consolidated revenues to now be approximately $3.455 to $3.520 billion, representing growth between 49% and 52% compared to 2021.
    • Crocs Brand revenues to now be $2.605 to $2.630 billion, implying approximately 17% growth on a constant currency basis, and approximately 13% growth on a reported basis.
    • HEYDUDE Brand revenues to still be approximately $850 to $890 million on a reported basis, implying $940 to $980 million, including the period of time prior to the closing of the acquisition.
  • Adjusted operating income to now be approximately $920 to $950 million and adjusted operating margin to be approximately 27%. This excludes non-GAAP adjustments primarily related to the HEYDUDE acquisition and integration of $75 million in cost of sales and $55 million in SG&A.
  • GAAP tax rate of approximately 25% and non-GAAP effective tax rate to now be approximately 21%.
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share to now be between $9.95 and $10.30.
  • Capital expenditures to now be approximately $150 to $170 million, primarily for supply chain investments to support growth.

Long-Term Projections

We expect:

  • Crocs Brand revenues to still be $5.0 billion by 2026.
  • HEYDUDE Brand revenues to now be over $1.0 billion in 2023.
  • Consolidated adjusted operating margins to still exceed 26% by 2026.
  • Gross leverage to still be below 2.0x by mid-year 2023 following strong earnings and cash flow expectations for 2022.

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 cost of sales,” “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 tax expense (benefit),” “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 operating income,” “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 are useful to investors and other users of our condensed consolidated financial statements as an additional tool for evaluating operating performance and trends. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, 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.

(2)  In the fourth quarter of 2020, and subsequently in the fourth quarter of 2021, 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. The prior year adjustment also includes the release of the valuation allowance as a

      result of a tax law change.

      cost of sales, primarily related to the write up of HEYDUDE inventory costs to fair market value at the close of acquisition.

(2)  In the fourth quarter of 2020, and subsequently in the fourth quarter of 2021, 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. This adjustment represents the amortization

      of the deferred tax asset related to these intellectual property rights in this period and the tax impact of cost of sales and SG&A non-GAAP adjustments.

 

Long-Term Projections

Our long-term guidance for “Consolidated adjusted operating margin” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or otherwise has 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. We are unable to reconcile expected long-term consolidated adjusted operating margin to its nearest U.S. GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts because we are unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact of the special and other non-core items. 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.

(2)  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.

(3)  In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on 2020 sales we did not

      disclose DTC comparable sales, as they were not meaningful.
