Crocs, Inc. Reports 2012 First Quarter Results
Revenue Increased 19.9% to $271.8 million
Net Income Increased 31.8% to $28.3 million
NIWOT, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 25, 2012--Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ: CROX) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012. Revenue for the first quarter of 2012 increased 19.9% to $271.8 million, over revenue of $226.7 million reported in the first quarter of 2011. Net income for the first quarter 2012 was $28.3 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared to net income of $21.5 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2011.
Sales growth during the quarter was driven by Asia and Americas which was partially offset by a slight decrease in Europe. Geographically, revenue increased 17.1% for the Americas, increased 40.5% for Asia and decreased 2.7% for Europe.
From a channel perspective, wholesale sales increased 15.9% to $190.7 million, over sales of $164.6 million in the first quarter of 2011. Retail sales increased 33.2% to $60.6 million, over sales of $45.5 million in the first quarter of 2011. The company ended the quarter with 439 retail store locations, which compares to 371 locations a year ago. Global same store sales for the first quarter of 2012 increased 10.2% during the quarter on a currency neutral basis. For the full year, the company continues to expect to open 80 to 100 net store locations. Internet sales increased 23.3% to $20.5 million, over sales of $16.7 million in the first quarter of 2011.
John McCarvel, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "Crocs is off to a strong start for 2012 following our first billion-dollar sales year. Our approximate 20 percent top-line sales growth in the quarter was broad-based across channels and regions, with only European wholesale performance lagging primarily due to macroeconomic headwinds in the region. Disciplined execution of our multi-channel business strategy and our growing diversity of all-season, all-occasion footwear styles are driving this growth."
Margins
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2012 increased 21.5% to $144.8 million, or 53.3% as a percentage of sales, from $119.2 million, or 52.6% as a percentage of sales in the same period last year. Selling, General, & Administrative expenses (SG&A) increased 17.5% to $104.1 million versus $88.6 million a year ago. As a percentage of sales, SG&A decreased to 38.3% from 39.1% in the first quarter of 2011.

Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2012 increased 78.9% to $206.6 million compared to $115.5 million at March 31, 2011. Inventories at March 31, 2012 were $169.1 million, up 9.9% compared to inventories at March 31, 2011 of $153.8 million.
Backlog

Guidance

| (1) Comparable store status is determined on a monthly basis. Comparable store sales begin in the thirteen 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. Locations closures in excess of three months are excluded until the thirteen month after re-opening. Comparable store sales growth is calculated on a currency neutral basis using prior year exchange rates. |
