Huntington Beach, California, June 2, 2011—Quiksilver, Inc. (NYSE:ZQK) today announced operating
results for the second fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2011. Revenues grew 2% to $478.1 million as
compared to $468.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Consolidated gross profit of
$262.2 million increased 5% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2010 as gross margin expanded
160 basis points to a second quarter record of 54.8% of revenues. Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA of
$62.1 million was higher than the company’s expectations and was roughly the same as a year ago.
Pro-forma income from continuing operations was $17.3 million, or $0.09 per share, compared to
$15.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Pro-forma income for the second quarter of
fiscal 2011 primarily excludes a $74.1 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge and
valuation allowances provided against tax assets totaling $26.0 million related to the Asia Pacific
region. Including the impairment charges and valuation allowances, the loss was $83.3 million, or
$0.51 per share, compared to income from continuing operations of $8.8 million, or $0.06
per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. A reconciliation of GAAP results to pro-forma
results is provided in the accompanying tables.
Robert B. McKnight, Jr., Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of
Quiksilver, Inc., commented, “We are pleased with our operating results for the quarter, and in
particular with our return to overall revenue growth and our record gross margins. Our Americas
and European businesses delivered strong performances, although our business in Asia Pacific was
affected by the natural disasters occurring in several of our markets. While global markets remain
uneven, we are seeing some really encouraging signs for the future. For example, this was our
second consecutive quarter of strong double digit comp store sales in the U.S., and, for the first
time in a while, we are seeing growth in our fall/winter order books for Roxy, which remains the
world’s largest and most respected girls action sports brand. So the initiatives we’ve set into
motion are gaining traction and we remain on track to successfully transition to stronger growth in
the future.”
Net revenues in the Americas increased 5% during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 to $210.7
million from $199.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. As measured in U.S. dollars and
reported in the financial statements, European net revenues decreased 1% during the second quarter
of fiscal 2011 to $206.9 million from $208.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. In
constant currency, European segment net revenues decreased 4% compared to the prior year. As
measured in U.S. dollars and reported in the financial statements, Asia/Pacific net revenues
decreased 1% during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 to $58.1 million from $58.6 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 2010. In constant currency, Asia/Pacific segment net revenues decreased
12% compared to the prior year. Please refer to the accompanying tables in order to better
understand the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on revenue trends in the European and
Asia/Pacific segments.
The company reduced its net debt by 19% to $594 million compared to $733 million a year ago.

Q2 Brand Highlights
| • | Quiksilver announced the re-signing of 25-year-old surfer Dane Reynolds to a 6-year deal to continue riding for the Quiksilver surf team and to contribute to the design and development of a new signature line of products. Dane is thought by many to be the most influential surfer in the world today. |
| • | Quiksilver also announced the re-signing of 23-year old French surfer Jeremy Flores to a new endorsement contract. Sponsored by Quiksilver since the age of 9, Jeremy was the youngest surfer ever to qualify for the ASP (Association of Surfing Professionals) World Tour in 2007. In December, Jeremy became the first European surfer to win the prestigious Pipe Masters contest in Hawaii, which helped him to finish 9th in the ASP World Tour rankings last year. |
| • | Australian Roxy surfer Sally Fitzgibbons has won two of the first five events in the 2011 ASP Women’s World Tour and is currently ranked #2 in the world. Sally’s next opportunity to improve upon her current standing will be in July at the Roxy Pro in Biarritz, France. |
| • | The Street League DC Pro Tour had a very successful kick-off in Seattle to its second season of skateboarding competitions. The finals were carried live on ESPN and the next event is slated for June 11-12 in Kansas City. |

Definition of Adjusted EBITDA:
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Quiksilver,
Inc. before (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization,
(iv) non-cash stock-based compensation expense and (v) asset impairments. Adjusted EBITDA is not
defined under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and it may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We use Adjusted EBITDA, along with other
GAAP measures, as a measure of profitability because Adjusted EBITDA helps us to compare our
performance on a consistent basis by removing from our operating results the impact of our capital
structure, the effect of operating in different tax jurisdictions, the impact of our asset base,
which can differ depending on the book value of assets, the accounting methods used to compute
depreciation and amortization, the existence or timing of asset impairments and the effect of
non-cash stock-based compensation expense. We believe EBITDA is useful to investors as it is a
widely used measure of performance and the adjustments we make to EBITDA provide further clarity on
our profitability. We remove the effect of non-cash stock-based compensation from our earnings
which can vary based on share price, share price volatility and expected life of the equity
instruments we grant. In addition, this stock-based compensation expense does not result in cash
payments by us. We remove the effect of

asset impairments from Adjusted EBITDA for the same reason that we remove depreciation and
amortization as it is part of the impact of our asset base. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a
profitability measure in that it does not include the interest expense on our debts, our provisions
for income taxes, the effect of our expenditures for capital assets and certain intangible assets,
the effect of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and the effect of asset impairments.
SUPPLEMENTAL EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION
(Unaudited)
(Unaudited)
In order to better understand growth rates in our foreign operating segments, we make reference to
constant currency. Constant currency reporting improves visibility into actual growth rates as it
adjusts for the effect of changing foreign currency exchange rates from period to period. Constant
currency is calculated by taking the ending foreign currency exchange rate (for balance sheet
items) or the average foreign currency exchange rate (for income statement items) used in
translation for the current period and applying that same rate to the prior period. Our European
segment is translated into constant currency using euros and our Asia/Pacific segment is translated
into constant currency using Australian dollars as these are the primary functional currencies of
each reporting segment. As such, this methodology does not account for movements in individual
currencies within an operating segment (for example, non-euro currencies within our European
segment and Japanese yen within our Asia/Pacific segment). A constant currency translation
methodology that accounts for movements in each individual currency could yield a different result
compared to using only euros and Australian dollars. The following table presents revenues by
segment in both historical currency and constant currency for the three months ended April 30, 2010
and 2011 (in thousands):
