Item 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Our common stock has traded under the symbol DECK on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) since May 2014 and was previously traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

As of May 9, 2024, we had 31 stockholders of record based on the records of our transfer agent, which does not include beneficial owners of our common stock whose shares are held in the names of various securities brokers, dealers, and registered clearing agencies.

We did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act during the year ended March 31, 2024.

STOCK PERFORMANCE GRAPH

On March 18, 2024, we were added to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index (S&P 500 Index). We replaced the NYSE Composite Index (NYSE Composite Index) with the S&P 500 Index for the purposes of our stock performance graph, as we believe this index is a more relevant benchmark to measure our performance. We have continued to present the NYSE Composite Index within this Annual Report as a transitional measure.

Below is a graph comparing the percentage change in the cumulative total return on our common stock against the cumulative total return of the S&P 500 Index, the S&P 500 Apparel, Accessories & Luxury Goods Index, and the NYSE Composite Index for the five fiscal-year periods commencing March 31, 2019, and ended March 31, 2024. Total return assumes reinvestment of dividends, though we have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock since our inception. The data represented in the graph assumes one hundred dollars invested in our common stock and in each of the referenced indices on March 31, 2019. The stock performance shown on the below graph is not necessarily indicative of future performance. We will not make or endorse any prediction as to future stock performance.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock since our inception. Our current revolving credit agreements allow us to declare and pay cash dividends, as long as we do not exceed certain leverage ratios and no event of default has occurred. However, we currently do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends.

STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

Our Board of Directors has approved various authorizations under our stock repurchase program to repurchase shares of our common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other factors. Our Board of Directors last approved an additional authorization of $1,200,000 on July 27, 2022, to repurchase our common stock under the same conditions as the prior stock repurchase programs (collectively, the stock repurchase program).

Our stock repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any amount of common stock and may be suspended at any time at our discretion. The agreements under our revolving credit facilities allow us to make stock repurchases under this program, so long as we do not exceed certain leverage ratios. As of March 31, 2024, we have not exceeded the stated leverage ratios and no defaults have occurred under our credit agreements.

Stock repurchase activity under our stock repurchase program during the three months ended March 31, 2024, was as follows:
