Crocs Inc. Reports Record First Quarter Revenue of $311.7 Million

NIWOT, COLORADO – April 24, 2013 – Crocs Inc. (NASDAQ: CROX) reported today financial results for the first quarter of 2013.

First Quarter 2013 Highlights

•

Record revenue of $311.7 million

•

Gross Margin of 53.2 percent

•

Net income of $29.0 million

•

Earnings per diluted share of $0.33

“Our record revenue performance in the first quarter of 2013 demonstrates the benefit of innovative products, the success of our multi channel strategy and the global reach of our business. During the quarter we saw strong sell-in of our spring and summer line into our wholesale accounts globally and solid initial sell-through in our own retail channel, all of which contributed to a 17 percent constant currency revenue growth during the quarter,” said John McCarvel, President and Chief Executive Officer. “As we look into the core of the spring summer selling season, we are confident that our product line-up, including a combination of new collections and core products will continue to drive revenues forward.

“The Asia Pacific segment of our business was a key component of our success during the quarter. While weather did impact consumers in North America and Europe, and Europe also dealt with ongoing macro-economic issues, we did see early signs of recovery in Japan.”

First Quarter Results

For first quarter 2013, the company had a net income of $29.0 million or $0.33 per diluted share, compared with net income of $28.3 million or $0.31 per diluted share in the prior year period. First quarter 2013 results included total expenses of $1.8 million relating to the implementation of a new ERP

system including non-cash accelerated depreciation and cash expenses for program management, training and other non-capitalized costs. Adjusting for these non-operating items, the company had Non-GAAP net income¹ of $30.8 million in the quarter or $0.35 per diluted share.

Revenue for the first quarter of 2013 increased 14.7% to $311.7 million compared with revenue of $271.8 million reported in the first quarter of 2012. On a constant currency basis revenue increased 16.6% for the first quarter of 2013.

Margins

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2013 increased 14.5% to $165.8 million, or 53.2% as a percentage of sales, compared with $144.8 million, or 53.3% as a percentage of sales in the prior year period. Selling, General, & Administrative expenses (SG&A) increased 22.9% to $128.2 million compared with $104.3 million a year ago. As a percentage of sales, SG&A increased to 41.1% from 38.4% compared with the first quarter of 2012. The increase in SG&A is largely attributable to our year-over-year increase in retail stores and partially attributable to our previously announced increase in marketing spending in 2013, which totaled approximately $2.7 million during the quarter.

¹	Non-GAAP net income is a financial measure not calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (non-GAAP). See the non-GAAP reconciliations set forth later in this press release for additional information.

Comparable Store Sales Results²

Comparable store sales on a constant currency basis for the first quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter 2012 were as follows: Global decreased 5.2%, Americas decreased 10.3%, Asia Pacific increased 7.3%, Japan decreased 5.8% and Europe decreased 7.3%. John McCarvel continued “while the unfavorable weather patterns in North America and Europe impacted our same store sales in the first quarter, we were pleased to see the early season success in Asia and the nascent signs of recovery in Japan. The first quarter on average represents just over 15% of retail sales for the year, therefore we remain confident that we can achieve modest year-over-year comparable store sales growth similar to 2012 growth rates.”

Balance Sheet

Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2013 decreased 21.0% compared with year end 2012 and increased 12.6% compared with March 31, 2012. During the first quarter of 2012 we repurchased approximately 834,000 shares of common stock for an aggregate of approximately $12.5 million in cash. Inventories at March 31, 2013 were $177.8 million, up 7.9% compared with year end 2012 and up 5.2% compared with inventories at March 31, 2012.

Backlog

Backlog at March 31, 2013 was $292.9 million, up 1.5% compared with $288.7 in the prior year period. On a constant currency basis backlog at March 31, 2013 was up 5.0% compared to the prior year period.

Financial Outlook

For the second quarter of 2013, the company expects revenue between $360 million and $370 million and diluted earnings per share between $0.60 and $0.63. This outlook includes $(0.02) per share of ERP implementation expense and reflects an impact of $(0.04) for currency translation.

Comparable store status is determined on a monthly basis. Comparable store sales begin in the thirteenth month of a store’s operation. 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 they have comparable prior year sales. Temporarily closed stores are excluded from the comparable store sales calculation during the month of closure. Location closures in excess of three months are excluded until the thirteen month post re-opening. Current period results have been restated using 2012 average foreign exchange rates for the comparative period to enhance the visibility of the underlying business trends excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

UNAUDITED NON-GAAP NET INCOME RECONCILIATIONS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2013 AND 2012

(In thousands, except per share amoounts)

The Company prepares and reports its financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Internally, management monitors the operating performance of its business using the non-GAAP metrics constant currency and Non-GAAP net income. Constant currency excludes the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by restating current period results using the prior year average exchange rates. Non-GAAP net income excludes the impact of new enterprise resource planning system (“ERP”) implementation expenses, non-recurring tax benefits, the accelerated depreciation and amortization of our current ERP system and certain legal and other contingency accruals. In management’s opinion, these non-GAAP measures are used by, and are useful to, investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating operating performance by providing better comparability between reporting periods because they exclude items that may not be indicative of overall business trends and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our operations. The Company does not, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes the disclosure of the effects of these items increases the reader’s understanding of the underlying performance of the business and that such non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate our financial results and assess our prospects for future performance.

The following is a reconciliation of our net income, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, to Non-GAAP net income:


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Non-GAAP adjusted net income per diluted share	$	0.35	$	0.31

⁽¹⁾	This proforma adjustment in the GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliations above represents expenses related to the implementation of a new ERP system.

⁽²⁾

This proforma adjustment in this GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliation represents the add-back of accelerated depreciation and amortization on tangible and intangible items related to our current ERP system and supporting platforms that will no longer be utilized once the implementation of a new ERP is complete.
