Crocs, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2017 Revenues and Gross Margin Exceeding Guidance;

Introduces Second Quarter 2017 Guidance and Updates Full Year Outlook

 

NIWOT, COLORADO — May 10, 2017 — Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ: CROX) a world leader in innovative casual footwear for men, women and children, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2017.  These results cover the three months ended March 31, 2017, and are compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

Gregg Ribatt, Chief Executive Officer, said, “During the first quarter of 2017, we continued to execute against our strategic plan to strengthen the Company and brand. Customers responded favorably to our Spring/Summer 2017 product, enabling us to achieve revenues that exceeded our guidance, while simultaneously driving gross margin improvements. We are moving rapidly to implement our SG&A reduction plan, and in connection with that initiative, we closed a net 16 Company operated stores during the first quarter of 2017 and signed agreements to transfer 24 Company operated stores to distributors during the second quarter of 2017.”

 

First Quarter 2017 Operating Results:

 

·                  Revenues exceeded guidance, coming in at $267.9 million. On a constant currency basis, revenues decreased 4.4%, compared to the first quarter of 2016. We continued to execute against plans to improve the quality of our revenues and strengthen our brand.

 

·                  Gross margin exceeded our guidance as well, coming in at 49.9% compared to 46.3% in the first quarter of 2016, representing a 350 basis point improvement over the prior year’s first quarter.  Higher quality sales, a shift to a higher percentage of molded product and lower input costs contributed to this improvement.

 

·                  Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $118.0 million compared to $115.1 million in the first quarter of 2016, an increase of 2.5%.   Included in our first quarter 2017 results are $2.2 million of costs relating to our SG&A reduction initiatives.

·                  Net income attributable to common stockholders was $7.2 million, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share.  Excluding $2.2 million related to our SG&A reduction initiatives, the Company reported non-GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders(1) of $9.3 million.  In the first quarter of 2016, our net income attributable to common stockholders was $6.4 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, and our non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders was $6.4 million.

 

·                  For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, we had 74.6 million weighted average diluted common shares outstanding.

 

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights:

 

·                  Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2017 were $88.9 million compared to $89.1 million as of March 31, 2016.

 

·                  Inventory was $178.5 million as of March 31, 2017 compared to $186.1 million as of March 31, 2016, as we continue to manage inventories closely.

 

·                  Capital expenditures totaled $5.4 million during the first quarter of 2017 compared to $5.9 million during the same time period in 2016.

 

·                  Cash used in operating activities was $49.9 million during the first quarter of 2017 compared to $56.9 million during the first quarter of 2016.

 

Middle East and China Agreements:

 

The Company has entered into agreements transferring certain Company operated stores in the Middle East and China to distributors. In the Middle East, The Apparel Group will assume responsibility for all 13 of our Company operated stores and will become our exclusive distributor in several countries in this region. In China, we have entered into agreements to transfer 11 of our Company operated stores to existing distributors. While these transactions will reduce retail revenues, they advance our strategic objective to reduce the number of Company operated stores and to partner with strong distributors that are well positioned to help us profitably grow our business.

 

Financial Outlook:

 

Second Quarter 2017:

 

·                  The Company expects second quarter 2017 revenues to be between $305 and $315 million.

 

·                  The Company expects gross margin for the second quarter to be approximately 150 basis points higher than the second quarter of 2016.

 

·                  The Company expects SG&A to be relatively flat to last year, including approximately $3.0 million of charges associated with our SG&A reduction plan.

 

Full Year 2017:

 

·                  The Company now expects 2017 revenues to be down low single digits compared to 2016, whereas our prior guidance contemplated flat revenues. This change reflects the impact of the agreements outlined above and a further reduction in discount channel sales.

 

·                  The Company continues to expect gross margin for 2017 to be approximately 50%.

 

·                  The Company now expects SG&A for 2017 to be between $495 million and $500 million, down from the $500 to $505 million range provided on our last call due to the impact of the agreements outlined above.  This range includes $7 to $10 million of charges associated with our SG&A reduction plan.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP MEASURES TO NON-GAAP MEASURES

(UNAUDITED)

 

In addition to financial measures presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), we present “Non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses” and “Non-GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders”, which are non-GAAP financial measures.  Non-GAAP results exclude the impact of items that management believes affect the comparability or underlying business trends in our 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 U.S. 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 consolidated financial statements as an additional tool for evaluating operating performance. We believe they also provide a useful baseline for analyzing trends in our operations. Investors should not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(2)  Comparable store sales are 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. Location closures in excess of three months are excluded until the thirteenth month post re-opening. E-commerce revenues are based on same site sales period over period.
