To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Deckers Outdoor Corporation:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Deckers Outdoor Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 31, 2025, and 2024, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2025, and the related notes and financial statement schedule (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2025, and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated May 23, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit and risk management committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Wholesale sales return liability
As discussed in Note 1 and Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has recorded a sales return liability as of March 31, 2025, of $63,462, of which $47,216 is related to the wholesale channel. The Company records an allowance for anticipated future returns of goods shipped prior to the end of the reporting period. Amounts of these reserves are based on known and actual returns, historical returns, and any recent events that could result in a change from historical return rates.
We identified the evaluation of the wholesale sales return liability as a critical audit matter. There was a high degree of auditor judgment required to evaluate recent events that could result in a change from historical return rates used to estimate the wholesale sales return liability.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s process for estimating the wholesale sales return liability, including controls related to the development of estimated return rates. We evaluated the wholesale sales return liability using a combination of Company internal data, known

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
recent trends, and actual and historical known information. We analyzed the Company’s internal data and external correspondence to assess adjustments made by management, if any, to historical return rates based on consideration of recent events. We assessed the Company’s ability to accurately estimate the wholesale sales return liability by comparing the historically recorded sales return liability to actual subsequent product returns. We also analyzed actual product returns received after year-end but prior to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Deckers Outdoor Corporation:
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Deckers Outdoor Corporation and subsidiaries’ (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2025, and the related notes and financial statement schedule (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated May 23, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023
(amounts in thousands, except per share and share data)
NOTE 1. GENERAL
The Company. Deckers Outdoor Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) is a global leader in designing, marketing, and distributing innovative footwear, apparel, and accessories developed for both everyday casual lifestyle use and high-performance activities. The Company’s five proprietary brands include UGG® (UGG), HOKA® (HOKA), Teva® (Teva), AHNU® (AHNU), and Koolaburra by UGG® (Koolaburra).
The Company sells its products through quality domestic and international retailers, international distributors, and directly to global consumers through its Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) channel, which is comprised of an e‑commerce and retail store presence. Independent third-party contractors manufacture all of the Company’s products.
Recent Developments. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company began taking steps to phase out its standalone operations for the Koolaburra brand in order to maintain focus on the Company’s most significant organic opportunities. The Company closed Koolaburra.com as of March 31, 2025, and plans to wind down the Koolaburra brand in the wholesale channel by the end of calendar year 2025. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has not incurred, and does not expect to incur, material exit costs or obligations associated with this plan.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which the buyer purchased the Sanuk brand and certain related assets, which was completed on August 15, 2024 (Sanuk Brand Sale Date). The Company determined that the divestiture of the Sanuk brand did not represent a strategic shift that had or will have a major effect on the consolidated results of operations, and therefore results of this business were not classified as discontinued operations. The Company’s financial results for its reportable operating segments present the former Sanuk brand within the Other brands reportable operating segment through the Sanuk Brand Sale Date for the year ended March 31, 2025, and full financial results for the years ended March 31, 2024, and 2023. Refer to Note 3, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” for further information on Sanuk brand assets.
Basis of Presentation. The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto (referred to herein as consolidated financial statements) as of March 31, 2025, and 2024, and for the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 (referred to herein as “year ended” or “years ended,” or as “fiscal year 2025,” “fiscal year 2024,” and “fiscal year 2023,” respectively) are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP).
Reportable Operating Segments. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s three reportable operating segments include the worldwide operations of the UGG brand, HOKA brand, and Other brands (primarily consisting of the Teva brand, AHNU brand, and Koolaburra brand) (collectively, the Company’s reportable operating segments). The various brands within Other brands are aggregated within one reportable operating segment as each brand shares similar economic and qualitative characteristics. Refer to Note 12, “Reportable Operating Segments,” for further information on the Company’s reportable operating segments.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, the financial information regularly used by the chief operating decision maker (CODM), who is the Principal Executive Officer, to evaluate performance, make operating decisions, and allocate resources was revised. In connection with executive leadership alignment, and the recent divestiture and phase out of certain brands, the CODM shifted resource allocation decisions and performance assessment to a brand focus, rather than a distribution channel focus. This resulted in a change in the Company’s reportable operating segments. The change in reportable operating segments had an impact on segment income from operations, a measure of segment profitability, and the Company clarified unallocated overhead costs excluded from this measure as unallocated enterprise and shared brand expenses. Refer to Note 12, “Reportable Operating Segments,” for further information on the Company’s unallocated enterprise and shared brand expenses.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023
(amounts in thousands, except per share and share data)
Previously, the Company’s six reportable operating segments included the worldwide wholesale operations of the UGG brand, HOKA brand, Teva brand, Sanuk brand, and Other brands (primarily the AHNU brand and the Koolaburra brand), and DTC. Reportable operating segment results for all prior periods presented in this Annual Report have been recast to reflect the change in reportable operating segments.
Forward Stock Split and Authorized Share Increase. On September 13, 2024, the Company (1) effected a six-for-one forward stock split of its common stock and preferred stock (the stock split), and (2) increased the number of authorized shares of its common stock from 125,000,000 to 750,000,000, and the number of authorized shares of its capital stock from 130,000,000 to 755,000,000 (the authorized share increase). The stock split and the authorized share increase were effected through the filing of an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (Charter Amendment) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 9, 2024 (Annual Meeting). The Charter Amendment did not provide for any increase in the number of authorized shares of preferred stock, which remains at 5,000,000 shares. There are no shares of preferred stock outstanding as of March 31, 2025, and 2024. As a result of the stock split, every one share of common stock outstanding on September 6, 2024, the record date for the stock split, was automatically split into six shares of common stock. The common stock commenced trading on a post-stock split adjusted basis on September 17, 2024.
All prior period results included in the consolidated financial statements and the related notes within this Annual Report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effectiveness of the stock split and the authorized share increase. Specifically, all share and per share amounts have been adjusted, including: (1) the number of shares authorized and outstanding on the consolidated balance sheets; (2) the weighted-average common shares outstanding and the associated earnings per share amounts in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, as well as the weighted average common shares outstanding disaggregated in Note 11, “Basic and Diluted Shares;” (3) the number of shares underlying stock awards and the weighted-average grant date fair value of annual stock awards in Note 8, “Stock-Based Compensation;” and (4) the total number of shares repurchased and the average price per share paid in Note 10, “Stockholders’ Equity.” Further, as there was no change to par value, an amount equal to the par value of the increased shares resulting from the stock split for shares issued was reclassified to common stock from additional paid-in capital, and for share repurchases was reclassified to retained earnings from common stock, in the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.
Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Management bases these estimates and assumptions upon historical experience, existing and known circumstances, authoritative accounting pronouncements and other factors that management believes to be reasonable. In addition, the Company has considered the potential impact of macroeconomic factors, including inflation, changes in tariff rates, foreign currency exchange rate volatility, changes in interest rates, changes in commodity pricing, changes in discretionary spending, and recessionary concerns, on its business and operations. Although the full impact of these factors is unknown, the Company believes it has made appropriate accounting estimates and assumptions based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. However, actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions, which may result in material effects on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity.
Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to variable consideration for net sales provided to customers, including the sales return liability, and related sales return asset, as well as trade accounts receivable allowances; inventory write-downs; contract assets and liabilities; stock-based compensation; impairment assessments, including goodwill, other intangible assets, and long-lived assets; depreciation and amortization; income tax receivables and liabilities; uncertain tax positions; the fair value of financial instruments; the reasonably certain lease term; lease classification; and the Company’s incremental borrowing rate (IBR) utilized to measure its operating lease assets and lease liabilities.

(amounts in thousands, except per share and share data)
Foreign Currency Translation. The Company considers the United States (US) dollar as its functional currency. The Company’s wholly owned foreign subsidiaries have various assets and liabilities, primarily cash, receivables, and payables, which are denominated in currencies other than its functional currency. The Company remeasures these monetary assets and liabilities using the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period, which results in gains and losses that are recorded in selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income as incurred. In addition, the Company translates assets and liabilities of subsidiaries with reporting currencies other than US dollars into US dollars using the exchange rates at the end of the reporting period, which results in financial statement translation gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income or loss (OCI), net of tax, in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Seasonality**.** A significant part of the UGG brand’s business has historically been seasonal, with the highest percentage of net sales occurring in the third fiscal quarter, which has contributed to variation in results of operations from quarter to quarter. However, the Company has mitigated the impacts of seasonality by diversifying and expanding product offerings with additional year-round styles. In addition, as the HOKA brand’s net sales, which generally occur more evenly throughout the fiscal year, continue to increase as a percentage of the Company’s aggregate net sales, the Company expects to reduce the impacts of seasonality in future periods.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) that have been adopted and not yet adopted by the Company as stated below.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The following is a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies applied to its consolidated financial statements:
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, and all highly liquid investments, such as money-market funds, with an original maturity of three months or less. The carrying value of money-market funds approximates the fair value as it is considered a highly liquid investment when purchased. Money-market funds are recorded in cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 4, “Fair Value Measurements,” for further information on the fair value of money-market funds. Refer to Note 13, “Concentration of Business,” for further information on credit risks with respect to the cash and cash equivalents balance.
Allowances for Doubtful Accounts. The Company provides an allowance against trade accounts receivable for estimated losses that may result from customers’ inability to pay. The Company determines the amount of the allowance by analyzing known uncollectible accounts, aged trade accounts receivable, economic conditions and forecasts, historical experience, and the customers’ creditworthiness. Trade accounts receivable that are subsequently determined to be uncollectible are charged or written off against this allowance. The allowance includes specific allowances for trade accounts, for which all or a portion are identified as potentially uncollectible based on known or anticipated losses. Additions to the allowance represent bad debt expense estimates which are recorded in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Inventories. Inventories, which are primarily comprised of finished goods on hand and in transit, are stated at the lower of cost (weighted moving average) or net realizable value at each financial statement date. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs to sell. The Company regularly reviews inventory for excess, obsolete, and impaired inventory to evaluate write-downs to the lower of cost or realizable value.
Cloud Computing Arrangements (CCAs). The Company enters into various CCAs that are governed by service contracts (hosting arrangements) to support operations. Application development stage implementation costs (implementation costs) of a hosting arrangement are deferred and recorded to prepaid expenses and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Implementation costs are expensed on a straight-line basis and recorded in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income over the term of the hosting arrangement, including reasonably certain renewals, which are generally one to three years.

DECKERS OUTDOOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023
(amounts in thousands, except per share and share data)
As of March 31, 2025, net capitalized costs for CCAs are $6,031, with $2,167 recorded in prepaid expenses and $3,864 recorded in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2024, net capitalized costs for CCAs are $4,537, with $1,534 recorded in prepaid expenses and $3,003 recorded in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Refer to the section titled “Recoverability of Definite-Lived Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets” below, within this footnote, for detail on an impairment of a CCA recorded during the year ended March 31, 2025.
Property and Equipment, Depreciation and Amortization. Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, and generally have a useful life of at least one year. Property and equipment include tangible, non-consumable items owned by the Company. Software implementation costs are capitalized if they are incurred during the application development stage and relate to costs to obtain computer software from third parties, including related consulting expenses, or costs incurred to modify existing software that results in additional upgrades or enhancements that provide additional functionality.
Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life. Leasehold improvements are amortized to their residual value, if any, on the straight-line basis over their estimated economic useful lives or the lease term, whichever is shorter. Changes in the estimate of the useful life of an asset may occur after an asset is placed in service. For example, this may occur as a result of the Company incurring costs that prolong the useful life of an asset, which would be recorded as an adjustment to depreciation over the revised remaining useful life. Depreciation and amortization are recorded in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Property and equipment, net, are summarized as follows:
| As of March 31, | |||||||||||||||||
| Useful Life (Years) | 2025 | 2024 | |||||||||||||||
| Land | Indefinite | $ | 32,864 | $ | 32,864 | ||||||||||||

Depreciation was $67,579, $54,958, and $45,117 during the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Operating Lease Assets and Lease Liabilities. The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception of a contract. The Company recognizes operating lease assets and lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets on the lease commencement date, based on the present value of the outstanding lease payments over the reasonably certain lease term. The lease term includes the non-cancelable period at the lease commencement date, plus any additional period covered by the Company’s option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that is reasonably certain to be exercised, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) a lease that is controlled by the lessor.
Operating lease assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the associated lease liabilities, adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred, less any lease incentives, such as tenant allowances. Operating lease assets are subsequently

measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the associated lease liabilities, plus initial direct costs, plus or minus any prepaid or accrued lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received. Operating lease assets and lease liabilities are presented separately in the consolidated balance sheets on a discounted basis. The current portion of operating lease liabilities is presented within current liabilities, while the long-term portion is presented separately as long-term operating lease liabilities. Refer to Note 7, “Commitments and Contingencies,” for further information on the discount rate methodology used to measure operating lease assets and lease liabilities.
Rent expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and recorded in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Lease payments recorded in the operating lease liabilities (1) are fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments and fixed rate increases, owed over the lease term and (2) exclude any lease prepayments as of the periods presented. Refer to Note 7, “Commitments and Contingencies,” for further information on the nature of variable lease payments and the timing of recognition of rent expense.
The Company has elected not to recognize operating lease assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases, which are defined as those operating leases with a term of 12 months or less. Instead, lease payments for short-term leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term in rent expense and recorded as a component of SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
The Company monitors for events that require a change in estimates for its operating lease assets and lease liabilities, such as modifications to the terms of the contract, including the lease term, economic events that may trigger a contractual term contingency, such as minimum lease payments or termination rights, and related changes in discount rates used to measure the operating lease assets and lease liabilities, as well as events or circumstances that result in lease abandonment or operating lease asset impairments. When a change in estimates results in the remeasurement of the operating lease liabilities, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the operating lease assets. The operating lease assets are remeasured and amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term, with no impact on the related operating lease liabilities. Refer to the section titled “Recoverability of Definite-Lived Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets” below, within this footnote, for further information on the Company’s accounting policy for evaluating the carrying amount of its operating lease assets and related leasehold improvements for indicators of impairment.
Asset Retirement Obligations (AROs). The Company is contractually obligated under certain of its lease agreements to restore certain retail, office, and warehouse facilities back to their original conditions. At lease inception, the present value of the estimated fair value of these liabilities is recorded along with the related asset. The liability is estimated based on assumptions requiring management’s judgment, including facility closing costs and discount rates, and is accreted to its projected future value over the life of the asset.
The Company’s AROs are recorded in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and activity was as follows:

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets. Goodwill is initially recorded as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are instead tested for impairment annually, or when an event occurs or
F-15
DECKERS OUTDOOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023

changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually at the reporting unit level, which is the wholesale channel of each of the UGG and HOKA brands as of December 31st of each year. The Company evaluates the Teva brand indefinite-lived trademark for impairment as of October 31st of each year.
The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets. In general, conditions that may indicate impairment include, but are not limited to the following: (1) a significant adverse change in customer demand or business climate that could affect the value of an asset; (2) change in market share, budget-to-actual performance, and consistency of income from operations as a percentage of net sales (operating margins) and capital expenditures; (3) changes in management or key personnel; or (4) changes in general economic conditions. The Company does not calculate the fair value of the assets unless the Company determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount, then the Company prepares a quantitative assessment.
The quantitative assessment requires an analysis of several estimates and assumptions, including future sales and results of operations, discount rates, and other factors that could affect fair value or otherwise indicate potential impairment. The goodwill impairment assessment involves valuing the Company’s various reporting units that carry goodwill. This includes considering the reporting units’ projected ability to generate income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods, as well as perceived changes in customer demand and acceptance of products, or other factors impacting the industry. Upon completion of the quantitative assessment, the Company compares the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount, and if the fair value exceeds its carrying amount, no impairment charge is recognized. If the fair value is less than its carrying amount, the Company will record an impairment charge to write down the asset to its fair value. Refer to Note 3, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” for further information on the Company’s goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and annual impairment assessment results.
Recoverability of Definite-Lived Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets. Definite-lived intangible and other long-lived assets, which include definite-lived trademarks; machinery and equipment; internal-use software, including CCAs; and operating lease assets and related leasehold improvements are amortized to their estimated residual values, if any, on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be recoverable. Amortization or depreciation are recorded in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
At least quarterly, the Company evaluates factors that would necessitate an impairment assessment, which include a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset group is used, a significant adverse change in legal factors or the business climate that could affect the value of the asset group or a significant decline in the observable market value of the asset group, among others. When an impairment-triggering event has occurred, the Company tests for recoverability of the asset group’s carrying value using estimates of undiscounted future cash flows based on the existing service potential of the applicable asset group. In determining the service potential of a long-lived asset group, the Company considers its remaining useful life, cash-flow generating capacity, and physical output capacity. These estimates include the undiscounted future cash flows associated with future expenditures necessary to maintain the existing service potential. These assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities.
Recoverability of definite-lived intangible and other long-lived assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset group, which is based on either discounted future cash flows or appraised values. An impairment loss, if any, would only reduce the carrying amount of the long-lived assets in the asset group based on its fair value limitation and is allocated to

individual assets in the asset group, unless doing so would reduce the carrying amount of a long-lived asset in the asset group to an amount less than zero. Impairment charges are recorded in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Refer to Note 3, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” for discussion on the Sanuk brand impairment charge recorded during the year ended March 31, 2024.
During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded impairment charges of $4,290 within unallocated enterprise and shared brand expenses in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, primarily for a CCA that was underperforming against the Company’s expectations. During the years ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company recorded impairment charges of $1,015 and $2,817, respectively, within its UGG and HOKA brand reportable operating segments in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the underperformance of certain retail store-related operating lease and related leasehold improvements.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Company may use derivative instruments to partially offset its business exposure to foreign currency risk on expected cash flows and certain existing assets and liabilities, primarily intercompany balances. To reduce the volatility in earnings from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company may hedge a portion of forecasted sales denominated in foreign currencies. The Company enters into foreign currency forward or option contracts (derivative contracts), generally with maturities of 15 months or less to manage foreign currency risk and certain of these derivative contracts are designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted sales (Designated Derivative Contracts). The Company may also enter into derivative contracts that are not designated as cash flow hedges (Non-Designated Derivative Contracts), to offset a portion of anticipated gains and losses on certain intercompany balances until the expected time of repayment. The Company does not use derivative contracts for trading purposes.
The notional amounts of outstanding Designated and Non-Designated Derivative Contracts are recorded at fair value measured using Level 2 fair value inputs, consisting of quoted forward spot rates from counterparties at the end of the applicable periods, which are corroborated by market-based pricing, with related assets and liabilities recorded in other current assets and other accrued expenses, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. The after-tax unrealized gains or losses from changes in fair value of Designated Derivative Contracts are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) in the consolidated balance sheets and are reclassified to net sales in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income in the same period or periods as the related sales are recognized. When it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting and the accumulated gains or losses in AOCL related to the hedging relationship are immediately recorded in OCI in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company includes all hedge components in its assessment of effectiveness for its derivative contracts. Refer to Note 4, “Fair Value Measurements,” for further information on the fair value of derivative instruments.
Changes in the fair value of Non-Designated Derivative Contracts are recorded in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The changes in fair value for these contracts are generally offset by the remeasurement gains or losses associated with the underlying foreign currency-denominated intercompany balances, which are recorded in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
The Company generally enters into over-the-counter derivative contracts with high-credit-quality counterparties, and therefore, considers the risk that counterparties fail to perform according to the terms of the contract as low. The Company factors the nonperformance risk of the counterparties into the fair value measurements of its derivative contracts. Refer to Note 9, “Derivative Instruments,” for further information on the impact of derivative instruments and hedging activities.
Stock Repurchase Program. Repurchased shares of the Company’s common stock are retired. The par value of repurchased shares is deducted from common stock and the excess repurchase price over par value as well as the portion due for excise taxes, is allocated to retained earnings in the consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 10, “Stockholders’ Equity,” for further information on the Company’s stock repurchase program.

Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is completed at a point in time and when the customer has obtained control. Control passes to the customer when they have the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all the remaining benefits from the goods transferred. The amount of revenue recognized is based on the transaction price, which represents the invoiced amount less known actual amounts or estimates of variable consideration. The Company recognizes revenue and measures the transaction price net of taxes, including sales taxes, use taxes, value-added taxes, and some types of excise taxes, collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities. The Company presents revenue gross of fees and sales commissions. Sales commissions are expensed as incurred and are recorded in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company’s customer contracts do not have a significant financing component due to their short durations, which are typically effective for one year or less and have payment terms that are generally 30 to 60 days.
Wholesale and international distributor revenue is recognized either when products are shipped or when delivered, depending on the applicable contract terms. Retail store and e-commerce revenue transactions are recognized at the point of sale and upon shipment, respectively. Shipping and handling costs paid to third-party shipping companies are recorded as cost of sales in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Shipping and handling costs are a fulfillment service, and, for certain wholesale and all e-commerce transactions, revenue is recognized when the customer is deemed to obtain control upon the date of shipment. Refer to Note 2, “Revenue Recognition,” for further information regarding the Company’s components of variable consideration.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the Company’s goods are primarily for finished goods, as well as related overhead. Finished goods includes material costs, including commodities, for products; allocation of initial molds; and tooling cost that are amortized based on minimum contractual quantities of related product and recorded in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income when the product is sold.
Distribution Costs. Distribution costs include payroll and related costs, rent and occupancy, depreciation and other related costs, and other miscellaneous expenses for owned warehousing, third-party logistics provider (3PL) service fees, and receiving, inspecting, allocating, and packaging product. Distribution costs are expensed as incurred, and primarily included in unallocated enterprise and shared brand expenses. Such costs amounted to $279,090, $238,312, and $206,191 for the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and are recorded in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Refer to Note 12, “Reportable Operating Segments,” for further information on the Company’s unallocated enterprise and shared brand expenses.
Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs include payroll and related costs, and other segment items, which are expensed as incurred, and included within each reportable operating segment, as well as unallocated enterprise and shared brand expenses. Such costs amounted to $56,676, $49,171, and $38,657 for the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and are recorded in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Refer to Note 12, “Reportable Operating Segments,” for further information on the Company’s unallocated enterprise and shared brand expenses.
Advertising, Marketing, and Promotion Expenses. Advertising, marketing, and promotion expenses include media advertising (television, radio, print, social, digital), tactical advertising (signs, banners, point-of-sale materials) and other promotional costs specific to the Company’s brands, and amounted to $432,198, $348,852, and $271,140 for the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which are recorded in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Advertising costs are expensed the first time the advertisement is run or communicated. All other costs of advertising, marketing, and promotion are expensed as incurred. Included in prepaid expenses as of March 31, 2025, and 2024 are $4,045 and $1,130, respectively, related to prepaid advertising, marketing, and promotion expenses for programs expected to take place after such dates.
Stock-Based Compensation. All of the Company’s stock-based compensation is classified within stockholders’ equity. Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recorded, net of forfeitures, in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income ratably over the vesting period. The grant date fair value of time-based restricted stock units (RSUs) and of employees’

purchase rights under the employee stock purchase plans is determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The grant date fair value of long-term incentive plan performance-based stock units (LTIP PSUs) is estimated as of the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation.
Determining the fair value and related expense of stock-based compensation requires judgment, including estimating the percentage of awards that will be forfeited and probabilities of meeting the awards’ performance criteria, as well as the Company’s reliance on the closing price of its stock on the New York Stock Exchange at or near the time of grant. If actual forfeitures differ significantly from the estimates or if probabilities change during a period, stock-based compensation expense and the Company’s results of operations could be materially impacted. Refer to Note 8, “Stock-Based Compensation,” for further information on grant activity, types of awards, and additional disclosure related to stock-based compensation.
Retirement Plan. The Company provides a 401(k) defined contribution plan that eligible US employees may elect to participate in through tax-deferred contributions or other deferrals. The Company matches 50% of each eligible participant’s deferrals on up to 6% of eligible compensation. Internationally, the Company has various defined contribution plans. Certain international locations require mandatory contributions under social programs, and the Company contributes at least the statutory minimums. US 401(k) matching contributions totaled $6,528, $5,129, and $4,433 during the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and were recorded in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. In addition, the Company may also make discretionary profit-sharing contributions to the plan. However, there were no Company profit-sharing contributions for the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023.
Non-qualified Deferred Compensation. The Company sponsors an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation plan (NQDC Plan) that provides certain members of its management team the opportunity to defer compensation into the NQDC Plan. The NQDC Plan year is from January 1st to December 31st. Participants may defer up to 50% of their annual base salary and up to 85% of any cash incentive bonus under the NQDC Plan. The Company has established a rabbi trust as a reserve for the benefits payable under the NQDC Plan. Deferred compensation is recognized based on the fair value of the participants’ accounts. Refer to Note 4, “Fair Value Measurements,” for further information on the fair value of deferred compensation assets and liabilities.
Self-Insurance. The Company is self-insured for a significant portion of its employee medical, including pharmacy, and dental liability exposures. Liabilities for self-insured exposures are accrued for the amounts expected to be paid based on historical claims experience and actuarial data for forecasted settlements of claims filed and for incurred but not yet reported claims. Accruals for self-insured exposures are included in accrued payroll in the consolidated balance sheets. Excess liability insurance has been purchased to limit the amount of self-insured risk on claims.
Income Taxes. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to net operating loss carryforwards and temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income during the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions in the consolidated financial statements only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. Changes in recognition or measurement are recorded in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest and penalties accrued for income tax contingencies as interest expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Refer to Note 5, “Income Taxes,” for further information on tax impacts and components of tax balances in the consolidated financial statements.

Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income or loss is the total of net earnings and all other non-owner changes in equity. Comprehensive income or loss includes net income or loss, foreign currency translation adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges. Refer to Note 10, “Stockholders’ Equity,” for further information on components of OCI.
Net Income per Share. Basic net income or loss per share represents net income or loss divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income or loss per share represents net income or loss divided by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding, including the dilutive impact of potential issuances of common stock. Refer to Note 11, “Basic and Diluted Shares,” for a reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.
NOTE 2. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Disaggregated Revenue. Refer to Note 12, “Reportable Operating Segments,” and to Note 13, “Concentration of Business,” for further information on the Company’s disaggregation of revenue by reportable operating segment and by geographic location, respectively.

Variable Consideration. Components of variable consideration include estimated allowance for sales discounts, allowance for chargebacks, and sales return asset and liability. Estimates for variable consideration are based on the amounts earned or estimates to be claimed as an adjustment to sales. Estimated variable consideration is included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period.
Allowance for Sales Discounts. The Company provides a trade accounts receivable allowance for sales discounts for wholesale channel sales, which reflects a discount that customers may take, generally based on meeting certain order, shipment or prompt payment terms. The Company uses the amount of the discounts that are available to be taken against the period end trade accounts receivable to estimate and record a corresponding reserve for sales discounts. Additions to the allowance are recorded against gross sales in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Allowance for Chargebacks. The Company provides a trade accounts receivable allowance for chargebacks for wholesale channel sales. When customers pay their invoices, they may take deductions against their invoices that can include chargebacks for price differences, markdowns, short shipments, and other reasons. Therefore, the Company records an allowance primarily for known circumstances as well as unknown circumstances based on historical trends related to the timing and amount of chargebacks taken against customer invoices. Additions to the allowance are recorded against gross sales or SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Sales Return Asset and Liability. Reserves are recorded for anticipated future returns of goods shipped prior to the end of the reporting period. In general, the Company accepts returns for damaged or defective products for up to one year. The Company also has a policy whereby returns are generally accepted from customers and end consumers between 30 to 90 days from the point of sale for cash or credit.

Sales returns are a refund asset for the right to recover the inventory and a refund liability for the stand-ready right of return. Changes to the refund asset for the right to recover the inventory are recorded against cost of sales and changes in the refund liability are recorded against gross sales in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The refund asset for the right to recover the inventory is recorded in other current assets and the related refund liability is recorded in other accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets. The amounts of these reserves are determined based on several factors, including known and actual returns, historical returns, and any recent events that could result in a change from historical return rates.
The following table summarizes changes in the estimated sales returns for the periods presented:

Contract Liabilities. Contract liabilities are performance obligations that the Company expects to satisfy or relieve within the next 12 months, advance consideration obtained prior to satisfying a performance obligation, or unconditional obligations to provide goods or services under non-cancelable contracts before the transfer of goods or services to the customer has occurred. Contract liabilities are recorded in other accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets and include loyalty programs and other deferred revenue.
Loyalty Programs. The Company has a loyalty program for the UGG brand in its DTC channel where consumers can earn rewards from qualifying purchases or activities. The Company defers recognition of revenue for unredeemed awards until one of the following occurs: (1) rewards are redeemed by the consumer, (2) points or certificates expire, or (3) an estimate of the expected unused portion of points or certificates is applied, which is based on historical redemption and expiration patterns. The Company’s contract liability for loyalty programs is recorded in other accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets.

No definite-lived intangible asset triggering events were identified during the years ended March 31, 2025, and 2023. During the year ended March 31, 2024, an impairment loss of $8,164 was recorded within the Other brands reportable operating segment in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the Sanuk brand definite-lived trademark, driven by lower-than-expected results of operations for the wholesale channel that resulted in the carrying value exceeding the estimated fair value, which was determined based on an estimate of the future discounted cash flows.
NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The accounting standard for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value, which is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy under this accounting standard requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available.
The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required:
-
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
-
Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
-
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions.
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments, which principally include cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, net, trade accounts payable, accrued payroll, and other accrued expenses, approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. When the Company makes short-term borrowings, the carrying amounts, which are considered Level 2 liabilities, approximate fair value based upon current rates and terms available to the Company for similar debt. The Company does not currently have any Level 3 assets or liabilities.
Assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

The Company’s non-financial assets, such as other long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets, which include operating lease assets, machinery and equipment, leasehold improvements, definite-lived trademarks; as well as indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill, are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at carrying value. Instead, these assets are tested for impairment annually, or when an event occurs or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. When determining fair value, Level 3 measurements are used for the estimates and assumptions, including undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset groups based upon historical experience, expected market conditions, as well and management’s plans.

Deferred Taxes. The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are as follows:

The deferred tax assets are currently expected to be realized between fiscal years 2026 and 2031. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the net deferred tax assets. The Company’s deferred tax valuation allowances are primarily the result of a valuation allowance on tax attributes and foreign losses in jurisdictions in which the Company expects it will have limited future profitability. The changes to the Company’s deferred tax valuation allowances are primarily the result of a valuation allowance on domestic tax attributes.
US Taxation of Foreign Earnings. The Company is subject to US taxation of its foreign subsidiary earnings, which is considered global intangible low-taxed income (commonly known as GILTI), as well as limitations on the deductions of executive compensation, which are included in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the periods presented above.
The Company currently anticipates repatriating current and future unremitted earnings of non-US subsidiaries, to the extent they have been and will be subject to US income tax, as long as such cash is not required to fund ongoing foreign operations. Due to the complexities in the laws of foreign jurisdictions, it is not practicable to estimate the amount of foreign withholding taxes associated with such unremitted earnings. No intercompany dividends were declared by the Company from a foreign subsidiary with related foreign withholding tax requirements during the year ended March 31, 2025.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company has $16,346 of undistributed earnings and $481,836 of cash and cash equivalents from its non-US subsidiaries, a portion of which may be subject to additional foreign withholding taxes if it were to be repatriated. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has $1,839 of accumulated deficit from its non-US subsidiaries for which no US federal or state income taxes have been paid.

Recent Tax Law Changes. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (commonly known as OECD) has released Pillar Two model rules introducing a 15% global minimum tax rate for large multinational corporations to be effective starting with tax periods ending in 2024. Various jurisdictions in which the Company operates have enacted or plan to enact legislation beginning in calendar year 2024 or in subsequent years. The enactment of Pillar Two legislation did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income during the current period. The Company will continue to monitor and reflect the impact of such legislative changes in future periods, as each of the respective jurisdictions enact the legislation and the legislation becomes effective.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits. When tax returns are filed, some positions taken are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount that would be ultimately sustained upon examination. The benefit of a tax position is recorded in the consolidated financial statements during the period in which the Company believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The recognition threshold is measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. The portion of the benefit that exceeds the amount measured, as described above, is recorded as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits, along with any associated interest and penalties, in the consolidated balance sheets.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of total gross unrecognized tax benefits are as follows:

Net unrecognized tax benefits are defined as gross unrecognized tax benefits, less federal benefit for state income taxes, related to uncertain tax positions taken in the Company’s income tax return that would impact the Company’s effective tax rate, if recognized. Management believes it is reasonably possible that the amount of net unrecognized tax benefits, as well as associated interest and penalties, may decrease during the next 12 months by $2,858, which includes amounts relating to expirations of statute of limitations and settlements of various tax matters. Of this amount, $2,649 would result in an income tax benefit for the Company and $209 would result in a decrease to interest expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
As of March 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company has accrued $3,424 and $6,314 for the payment of interest and penalties, respectively, in income tax liability in the consolidated balance sheets. During the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company recorded $(2,890), $486, and $1,106, respectively, of interest and penalties as a (decrease) or increase to interest expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The Company has on-going income tax examinations in various state and foreign tax jurisdictions and regularly assesses tax positions taken during years open to examination. The Company files income tax returns in the US federal jurisdiction and various state, local, and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to US federal, state, local, or foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities before fiscal year 2021.
Although the Company believes its tax estimates are reasonable and prepares its tax filings in accordance with all applicable tax laws, the final determination with respect to any tax audits, and any related litigation, could be materially different from the Company’s estimates or from its historical income tax provisions and accruals. The results of an audit or litigation could have a material impact on results of operations or cash flows in the periods for which that determination is made. In addition, future period earnings may be adversely impacted by litigation costs, settlements, penalties, or interest assessments. However, management does not currently expect any such audits and inquiries to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 6. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITIES
Primary Credit Facility. In December 2022, the Company refinanced in full and terminated its prior credit agreement originally entered into in September 2018. The refinanced revolving credit facility agreement is with Citibank, N.A. (Citibank), as administrative agent, Comerica Bank, as sole syndication agent, and the lenders party thereto (Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year, $400,000 unsecured revolving credit facility (Primary Credit Facility), contains a $25,000 sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit, and matures on December 19, 2027, subject to extension on early termination as described in the Credit Agreement.
In addition to allowing borrowings in US dollars, the Primary Credit Facility provides a $175,000 sublimit for borrowings in Euros, Sterling, Canadian dollars, and any other foreign currency that is subsequently approved by Citibank, each lender, and each bank issuing letters of credit. Subject to customary conditions, the Company has the option to increase the maximum principal amount available up to an additional $300,000, resulting in a maximum available principal amount of $700,000. However, none of the lenders have committed at this time to provide any such increase in the commitment.
The obligations of the Company and each other borrower under the Primary Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company’s existing and future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that meet certain materiality thresholds, subject to limited exceptions. All obligations under the Primary Credit Facility and the foregoing guaranty are unsecured, and amounts borrowed may be prepaid at any time without a premium or penalty, subject to limited exceptions.
Certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries may also borrow under the Primary Credit Facility, which permits the Company, subject to customary conditions, to designate one or more additional subsidiaries organized in foreign jurisdictions to borrow. The Company is liable for the obligations of each foreign borrower, but the obligations of the foreign borrowers are several (not joint) in nature.
Interest Rate Terms. At the Company’s election, revolving loans issued under the Primary Credit Facility will bear interest at the adjusted term SOFR, the adjusted Euro InterBank Offered Rate (EURIBOR), the Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA), the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (CDOR), or the adjusted Alternate Base Rate (ABR), in each case plus the applicable interest rate margin.
Interest for borrowings in US dollars will fluctuate between SOFR, plus 1.00% and 0.10% based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio, and ABR, plus 0% per annum. The applicable interest rate margin is based on a pricing grid based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio and ranges from 1.00% to 1.625% per annum in the case of loans based on the SOFR, EURIBOR, SONIA, or CDOR, and from 0.00% to 0.625% per annum in the case of loans based on ABR. As of March 31, 2025, the effective interest rates for SOFR and ABR are 5.40% and 7.50%, respectively.

Commitment Fees. The Company is required to pay a fee rate that fluctuates between 0.125% and 0.20% per annum on the daily unused amount of the Primary Credit Facility, with the exact commitment fee based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio.
Borrowing Activity. During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company made no borrowings or repayments under the Primary Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has no outstanding balance, $955 of outstanding letters of credit, and available borrowings of $399,045 under the Primary Credit Facility.
China Credit Facility. In October 2021, Deckers (Beijing) Trading Co., LTD (DBTC), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a credit agreement in China (as amended, the China Credit Facility) that provides for an uncommitted revolving line of credit of up to CNY300,000, or $41,338, with an overdraft facility sublimit of CNY100,000, or $13,779. The China Credit Facility is payable on demand and subject to annual review with a defined aggregate period of borrowing of up to 24 months, which was amended to increase from 12 months in November 2023. The obligations under the China Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company for 108.5% of the facility amount in US dollars.
Interest Rate Terms. Interest is based on the People’s Bank of China market rate multiplied by a variable liquidity factor. As of March 31, 2025, the effective interest rate is 3.40%.
Borrowing Activity. During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company made no borrowings or repayments under the China Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has no outstanding balance, outstanding bank guarantees of $455, and available borrowings of $40,883 under the China Credit Facility.
Debt Covenants. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is subject to usual and customary representations and warranties, and contains usual and customary affirmative and negative covenants, which include limitations on liens, additional indebtedness, investments, restricted payments, indemnification provisions in favor of the lenders and transactions with affiliates. The financial covenant requires the total net leverage ratio to be no greater than 3.75 to 1.00.
Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is also subject to other customary limitations, as well as usual and customary events of default, which include non-payment of principal, interest, fees and other amounts; breach of a representation or warranty; non-performance of covenants and obligations; default on other material debt; bankruptcy or insolvency; material judgments; incurrence of certain material Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) liabilities; and a change of control of the Company.
Under the China Credit Facility, DBTC is subject to usual and customary representations and warranties, and usual and customary affirmative and negative covenants, which include limitations on liens and additional indebtedness.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants under the Primary Credit Facility and China Credit Facility.
NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Leases. The Company primarily leases retail stores, showrooms, offices, and distribution facilities under operating lease contracts which vary in lease terms but, in the aggregate, continue in effect through calendar year 2035. Some of the Company’s operating leases contain extension options between one to 15 years. Historically, the Company has not entered into finance leases and its lease agreements generally do not contain residual value guarantees, options to purchase underlying assets, or material restrictive covenants.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(amounts in thousands, except per share and share data)
Variable Lease Payments. Certain leases require additional payments based on (1) actual or forecasted sales volume (either monthly or annually), (2) reimbursement for real estate taxes (tax), (3) common area maintenance (CAM), and (4) insurance (collectively, variable lease payments). Variable lease payments are generally excluded from operating lease assets and lease liabilities and are recorded in rent expense as a component of SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Some leases are dependent upon forecasted annual sales volume, and lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis as rent expense over each annual period when the achievement of the related sales target is reasonably likely to occur. Other variable lease payments, such as tax, CAM, and insurance, are recognized in rent expense as incurred. Some leases contain one fixed lease payment that include variable lease payments, which are considered non-lease components. The Company has elected to account for these instances as a single lease component and the total of these fixed payments is used to measure the operating lease assets and lease liabilities.
Discount Rate. The Company discounts its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if the rate cannot be readily determined, its IBR. Generally, the Company cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease because it does not have access to the lessor’s estimated residual value or the amount of the lessor’s deferred initial direct costs. The Company has a centralized treasury function, which enables the Company to use a portfolio approach to discount lease obligations. Therefore, the Company generally derives a discount rate at the lease commencement date by utilizing its IBR, which is based on what the Company would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to its lease payments under similar terms. Because the Company does not currently borrow on a collateralized basis under its revolving credit facilities, it uses the interest rate it pays on its non-collateralized borrowings under its Primary Credit Facility as an input for deriving an appropriate IBR, adjusted for the amount of the lease payments, the lease term, and the effect on that rate of designating specific collateral with a value equal to the unpaid lease payments for that lease.
Rent Expense. The components of rent expense for operating leases recorded in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income were as follows:

(1) Amounts disclosed include non-cash additions or reductions resulting from lease remeasurements, as well as reductions for tenant improvement allowances.
Purchase Obligations. The Company has various types of purchase obligations, as follows:
Product. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has $956,911 of outstanding purchase orders or other obligations with independent third-party contractors that manufacture all of its products (independent manufacturers). These obligations consist mostly of open purchase orders that are expected to be fulfilled in the ordinary course of business and to be paid in less than one fiscal year. A significant portion of the purchase commitments can be cancelled by the Company under certain circumstances; however, the occurrence of such circumstances is generally limited. As a result, the amount does not necessarily reflect the dollar amount of the Company’s binding commitments or minimum purchase obligations for products, and instead reflects an estimate of its future payment commitments based on information currently available.
Commodities. The Company has entered into fixed purchasing contracts with affiliates, manufacturers, factories, and other agents (designated suppliers) of sheepskin and sugarcane-derived ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), requiring its designated suppliers to purchase commodities on or before a specified target date, generally within one to two years (collectively, commodity contracts). The Company’s fixed pricing agreements are non-cancellable and may be subject to fees, including certain sheepskin purchasing contracts requiring deposits when minimum volumes are not fully consumed.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s aggregated estimated future payment obligations are $231,323 for commitments under these commodity contracts, of which $7,412 is due in less than one fiscal year and the remainder $223,911 is due in one to three fiscal years. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had no outstanding deposits on supply agreements. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $16,243 in outstanding deposits on supply agreements, which were refunded and received by the Company during the year ended March 31, 2025.

Other. Other purchase commitments include contracts for information technology (IT) services, 3PL service fees and other supply chain services, promotional expenses, and other commitments under service contracts. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has an aggregate of $200,744 of other purchase commitments, of which $118,336 is due in less than one fiscal year, $70,274 is due in one to three fiscal years, and the remainder of $12,134 is due in three to five fiscal years.
Litigation. From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings, disputes, and other claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including employment, intellectual property, and product liability claims. Although the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes it is not currently a party to any legal proceedings, disputes, or other claims for which a material loss is considered probable and for which the amount (or range) of loss is reasonably estimable. However, regardless of the merit of the claims raised or the outcome, these matters can have an adverse impact on the Company as a result of legal costs, diversion of management’s time and resources, and other factors.
Indemnification. The Company has agreed to indemnify certain of its licensees, distributors, and promotional partners in connection with claims related to the use of the Company’s intellectual property. The terms of such agreements generally do not provide for a limitation on the maximum potential future payments. From time to time, the Company also agrees to indemnify its licensees, distributors, and promotional partners in connection with claims that the Company’s products infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties. These agreements may or may not be made pursuant to a written contract. In addition, from time to time, the Company also agrees to standard indemnification provisions in commercial agreements in the ordinary course of business. Management believes the likelihood of any payments under any of these arrangements is remote and would be immaterial. This determination is made based on a prior history of insignificant claims and related payments.
NOTE 8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock Incentive Plans. In September 2015, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (2015 SIP), which initially reserved 7,650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance to employees, directors, consultants, independent contractors, and advisors. The 2015 SIP provided for the issuance of a variety of stock-based compensation awards, including RSUs, performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs), LTIP PSUs, stock appreciation rights, stock bonuses, incentive stock options (ISOs), and non-qualified stock options (NQSOs).
In September 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2024 Stock Incentive Plan (2024 SIP), which is intended to replace the 2015 SIP. Like the 2015 SIP, the primary purpose of the 2024 SIP is to encourage ownership in the Company by key personnel, whose long-term service is considered essential to the Company’s continued success. As a result of the stock split, the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2024 SIP and the number of shares underlying outstanding equity awards and the exercise price of stock options were adjusted proportionately.
The 2024 SIP initially reserves 7,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance to employees, directors, consultants, independent contractors, and advisors, less one share for every one share granted under the 2015 SIP after March 31, 2024 and prior to September 9, 2024, the effective date of the 2024 SIP, subject to an increase from the return of shares under the 2015 SIP as described below. The terms of the 2024 SIP are substantially similar to the terms of the 2015 SIP. The 2024 SIP provides for the issuance of a variety of stock-based compensation awards, including RSUs, PSUs, LTIP PSUs, stock appreciation rights, stock bonuses, ISOs, and NQSOs. The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued to employees under the 2024 SIP through the exercise of ISOs is 4,500,000.

The Company will not grant any further equity awards under the 2015 SIP. Outstanding awards under the 2015 SIP will remain outstanding, unchanged and subject to the terms of the 2015 SIP and their respective award agreements. Shares subject to awards that are forfeited, expire or are otherwise terminated without shares being issued, or shares withheld to pay the exercise price of an award or to satisfy tax withholding obligations, including shares subject to awards granted under the 2015 SIP that are outstanding after March 31, 2024, will be returned to the pool of shares available for grant and issuance under the 2024 SIP. As of March 31, 2025, 7,793,719 shares of common stock remained available for future issuance under the 2024 SIP, subject to adjustment for future stock splits, stock dividends, and similar changes in capitalization.
Annual Stock Awards. During the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company granted RSU and LTIP PSU awards to certain members of the Company’s management team, which entitle the recipients to receive shares of the Company’s common stock upon vesting.

(2) The amounts vested include shares withheld to cover taxes that are not issued to the recipient.
(3) Impact from the stock split may not calculate on rounded numbers disclosed in prior periods.
Restricted Stock Units. RSUs are subject to a time-based vesting condition and typically vest in equal annual installments over three years following the date of grant.
Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards. LTIP PSU awards are subject to market, performance, and time-based vesting conditions. The term of LTIP PSU awards is over a multi-fiscal year performance period with metrics established at the beginning of the performance period, which is generally two or three years (Measurement Period). The LTIP PSU awards include a market condition tied to the Company’s relative total stockholder return (TSR) in relation to its peer companies (peer market condition), as well as financial performance conditions tied to certain revenue and pre-tax income performance targets (financial performance conditions). Following a determination of the Company’s achievement with respect to the financial performance conditions for the applicable Measurement Period, the vesting of each LTIP PSU award will be subject to adjustment for the peer market condition based on the application of the TSR modifier. The amount of the adjustment is determined based on a

comparison of the Company’s TSR relative to the TSR of a pre-determined set of peer group companies for the Measurement Period.
The grant date fair value of LTIP PSUs is determined using a Monte-Carlo model that simulates a range of possible future stock prices for the Company and each member of the peer group over the Measurement Period. For each grant of LTIP PSUs, the Monte-Carlo simulation model factors in key assumptions, such as the market price of the underlying common stock at the beginning and end of the Measurement Period, risk free interest rate, expected dividend yield when simulating a TSR, expected dividend yield when simulating the Company’s stock price, stock price volatility, and correlation coefficients. The Company evaluates the probability of achieving the financial performance conditions against its most current long-range forecast at least quarterly and may adjust stock-based compensation expense for its LTIP PSUs up or down based on its estimated probability outcome over the Measurement Period. The peer market condition is measured as part of the grant date fair value.
The actual number of LTIP PSU awards that vest may increase up to a maximum of 200% of the targeted amount for the award based on achievement of the financial performance conditions and the TSR modifier for the peer market condition. No vesting of any portion of the LTIP PSU awards will occur if the Company fails to achieve the minimum threshold financial performance conditions for each reporting period within the Measurement Period. For the LTIP PSUs granted during the fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company expects to exceed the minimum threshold target performance criteria based on the Company’s long-range forecast as of March 31, 2025.
Long-Term Incentive Plan Options. The Company approved the issuance of LTIP NQSOs under the 2015 SIP, including the November 2016 (2017 LTIP NQSOs) and June 2017 (2018 LTIP NQSOs) grants, which were awarded to certain members of the Company’s management team, with a maximum contractual term ending March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2019, and 2020, the target performance criteria were achieved and all LTIP NQSOs under the 2017 LTIP NQSOs and 2018 LTIP NQSOs, respectively, were fully vested. Each vested LTIP NQSO provides the recipient the right to purchase a specified number of shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed exercise price per share based on the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant. During the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, no LTIP NQSOs were granted. During the year ended March 31, 2025, 89,454 shares were exercised pursuant to LTIP NQSOs at a weighted-average exercise price of $10.80. As of March 31, 2025, no LTIP NQSOs were exercisable and as of March 31, 2024, 89,454 LTIP NQSOs were exercisable at a weighted average exercise price of $10.80.
Grants to Directors. Each of the Company’s nonemployee directors was entitled to receive common stock with a total value of $170 for annual service on the Board of Directors (Board) during the year ended March 31, 2025. The shares are issued in equal quarterly installments with the number of shares being determined using the rolling average of the closing price of the Company’s common stock during the last ten trading days leading up to, and including, the grant date, which is in alignment with the Company’s equity grant guidelines. Each of these shares is fully vested and recorded as compensation expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income on the date of issuance.
Employee Stock Purchase Plans*.* In September 2015, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (2015 ESPP), which authorized 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for sale to eligible employees using after-tax payroll deductions, which are refundable until purchases are made, and are liability-classified. Following the issuance of shares under the 2015 ESPP to employees who participated in the offering period ended February 28, 2025, the 2015 ESPP was terminated, and no new offering periods under the 2015 ESPP will commence.
In September 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2024 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (2024 ESPP), which replaced the 2015 ESPP. The 2024 ESPP reserves 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for sale to eligible employees. The terms of the 2024 ESPP are substantially similar to the terms of the 2015 ESPP. Each offering period under the 2024 ESPP is anticipated to run for approximately six months with purchases occurring on the last day of each offering period (no look-back provision) at a 15% discount to the closing price on that date. The first offering period commenced on March 1, 2025. As a result of the stock split, the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2024 ESPP were adjusted proportionately.

NOTE 10. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Stock Repurchase Program. The Board has approved various authorizations under the Company’s stock repurchase program to repurchase shares of its common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other factors (collectively, the stock repurchase program). As of March 31, 2025, the Board last approved an authorization of $1,200,000 on July 27, 2022, to repurchase its common stock under the same conditions as the prior stock repurchase program. As of March 31, 2025, the aggregate remaining approved amount under the stock repurchase program is $374,701. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any amount of common stock and may be suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion.

Excluded Awards. The equity awards excluded from the calculation of the dilutive effect may be excluded due to one of the following: (1) the shares were antidilutive or (2) the necessary conditions had not been satisfied for the shares to be deemed issuable based on the Company’s performance for the relevant performance period. The number of shares stated for each of these excluded awards is the maximum number of shares issuable pursuant to these awards. For those awards subject to the achievement of performance criteria, the actual number of shares to be issued pursuant to such awards will be based on Company performance in future periods, net of forfeitures, and may be materially lower than the number of shares presented, which could result in a lower dilutive effect. Refer to Note 8, “Stock-Based Compensation,” for further information on the Company’s equity incentive plans.
NOTE 12. REPORTABLE OPERATING SEGMENTS
Information reported to the CODM is organized into the Company’s three reportable operating segments, which include the brand operations for the UGG brand, HOKA brand, and Other brands. The operations of each brand within these reportable operating segments are managed separately because each requires different marketing, research and development, design, sourcing, and sales strategies.
The Company does not regularly provide total assets or capital expenditures information by reportable operating segment to the CODM because that information is not used to evaluate performance or allocate resources to each reportable operating segment.
Segment Net Sales, Gross Margin, and Income from Operations. The CODM regularly evaluates the performance of each reportable operating segment based on net sales, gross profit as a percentage of net sales (gross margin), and income from operations when making decisions about resource allocations to each reportable operating segment. Income from operations of each reportable operating segment includes certain costs which are specifically related to each reportable operating segment and that are regularly provided to the CODM. These costs consist of cost of sales; payroll and related expenses, including stock-based compensation; advertising, marketing, and promotion expenses; rent and occupancy; depreciation and other related costs; and other segment items.

There are no inter-segment sales for any period presented. The accounting policies of the Company's reportable operating segments are consistent with those described in Note 1, “General.”
Income from operations of each reportable operating segment exclude enterprise and shared brand expenses as well as total other income, net, which are not used to assess reportable operating segment performance. Unallocated enterprise and shared brand expenses are costs that are managed centrally and not specific to any one brand. These costs are primarily comprised of certain payroll and related expenses, including stock-based compensation; global IT expenses; 3PL service fees; depreciation, rent, and occupancy for owned warehouses and offices; and other SG&A expenses, such as costs for contract services, materials, supplies, and travel. These costs span multiple functions including owned warehouses and 3PL service fees, along with enterprise costs which include centralized commercial operations, IT, finance, human resources, legal, supply chain, and corporate executives.
