Crocs Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Year End 2015 Financial Results

NIWOT, COLORADO — February 29, 2016 — Crocs Inc. (NASDAQ: CROX) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2015.

Fourth Quarter Highlights:

· Revenue was $208.7 million, in-line with guidance. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased 7.0% compared to the prior year period.

· Net loss attributable to common stockholders on a GAAP basis was $73.9 million or a loss of $1.01 per share.

· Excluding certain charges not related to our core business, the company reported a non-GAAP adjusted net loss attributable to common shareholders of $52.9 million.

Full Year Highlights:

· Revenue was $1,090.6 million. On a constant currency basis revenue was down 1.9% compared to the prior year.

· Net loss attributable to common stockholders on a GAAP basis was $98.0 million or a loss of $1.30 per share.

· Excluding certain charges not related to our core business, non-GAAP adjusted net loss attributable to common shareholders was $40.1 million.

Gregg Ribatt, Chief Executive Officer, said: “We continue to make meaningful progress positioning our business for long-term sustainable success despite some near-term challenges. Revenue on a constant currency basis, excluding store closures and discontinued product lines, grew at 12.2% in the quarter compared with a year ago. Our overall results reflect the impact of higher clearance sales as we made the decision in the quarter to increase our promotional cadence, given the overall retail environment. While we still face foreign exchange headwinds from the stronger U.S. Dollar and macroeconomic challenges, we are making progress in our transformation efforts. I believe we are reaching an inflection point and we will see the benefits of our actions increasingly as 2016 progresses.”

Fourth Quarter Operating Results

In the fourth quarter of 2015, the company reported a GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders of $73.9 million or $1.01 per share, compared with a net loss of $56.9 million or $0.70 per diluted share in the same quarter of the prior year.

As outlined in detail in the non-GAAP reconciliations set forth later in this press release, the company recorded $21.0 million of certain charges not related to our core business (of which $14.6 million were non-cash charges) in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared with $26.8 million in non-recurring and special charges (of which $15.3 million were non-cash charges) in the fourth quarter of 2014. Excluding these items, the company reported on a comparable basis, non-GAAP adjusted net loss attributable to common shareholders of $52.9 million in the quarter versus non-GAAP adjusted net loss attributable to common shareholders of $30.0 million in the fourth quarter 2014.

Full Year 2015 Operating Results

For the full year, the company reported a GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders of $98.0 million or $1.30 per diluted share, compared with a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $19.0 million or $0.22 per diluted share in 2014.

As outlined in detail in the non-GAAP reconciliations set forth later in this press release, the company recorded $57.9 million of certain charges not related to our core business (of which $24.5 million were non-cash charges) for the year ended 2015 compared with $69.0 million (of which $27.7 million were non-cash charges) for the year ended 2014. Excluding these items, the company reported on a comparable basis, non-GAAP adjusted net loss attributable to common shareholders of $40.1 million in the year versus non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $50.0 million in 2014.

Balance Sheet

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2015 were $143.3 million compared with $267.5 million at December 31, 2014. The year-over-year change in cash and cash equivalents was primarily driven by the repurchase of 6.5 million shares for approximately $85.9 million. Inventory was $168.2 million compared with $171.0 million at December 31, 2014.

Stock Repurchase

The company repurchased 918.0 thousand shares of common stock in the fourth quarter of 2015 at an average price of $10.86. The company ended the quarter at 72.9 million common shares outstanding and fourth quarter weighted average shares outstanding was 73.5 million.

Financial Outlook

The company expects first quarter 2016 revenue in the $260 to $270 million range compared to $262.2 million last year.

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 “adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses”, “adjusted cost of sales”, “adjusted net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders”, and “revenue adjusted for business model changes”, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted 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.

The metric “revenue adjusted for business model changes” is used by management to assess period-over-period change in the performance of our continuing operations as compared to the same quarter of the previous year. This metric is calculated on a constant currency basis and removes the impact of store closures and eliminated product lines from prior period results. We believe this metric is useful in analyzing business trends related to our ongoing operations by excluding products and locations that have been eliminated and by removing foreign currency translation adjustments, which can mask the underlying performance of the business.

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 restated using prior year 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.

Management uses adjusted results to assist in comparing business trends from period to period on a consistent non-GAAP basis in communications with the Board, 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.

(1) 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 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. Comparable store sales exclude the impact of our e-commerce channel revenues and are calculated on a currency neutral basis using historical quarterly average currency rates.

(2) Reflects quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year change as if the current period results were in “constant currency,” which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Constant currency is a measure utilized by management in which current period results have been restated using prior year average foreign exchange rates for the comparative period to enhance the visibility of the underlying business trends by excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We do not suggest that investors should consider this non-GAAP measure in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
