| ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act,
which are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we
file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures also include controls and
procedures designed to reasonably ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to
management, including our Principal Executive Officer (PEO) and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer
(PFAO), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any system
of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of
achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating
the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, the design of any system of controls is
based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that
any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may
deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in any system of controls, misstatements due to error or fraud may
occur and not be detected, and controls may be circumvented or overridden.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of
the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026. Based on that evaluation,
our PEO and PFAO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance
level as of March 31, 2026.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as
defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process
designed by, or under the supervision of, our PEO and PFAO to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in
accordance with US GAAP. Our 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 our transactions and
dispositions of assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that
could have a material effect on our financial statements. Because of 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.
As of March 31, 2026, our management, including our PEO and PFAO, assessed the effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (commonly referred to as COSO).
Based on this assessment, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was
effective based on these criteria. The registered public accounting firm that audited our consolidated financial
statements in Part IV within this Annual Report has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial
reporting. Refer to Part IV, “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm - Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting,” within this Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation
pursuant to Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the three months ended March 31, 2026, that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PEO and PFAO Certifications
The certifications of our PEO and PFAO required by Rule 13a-14(a) of the Exchange Act, adopted pursuant to
Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”), are filed as Exhibit 31.1 and Exhibit 31.2, and the
certifications required by 18 U.S.C. Section 1350, adopted pursuant to Section 906 of SOX, are furnished as Exhibit
32.1, to this Annual Report. This Part II, Item 9A, should be read in conjunction with such certifications for a more
complete understanding of the topics presented.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
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, 2026, and 2025, 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, 2026, 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, 2026, and 2025,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2026, 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, 2026, 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 22, 2026 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, 2026, of $80,055, of which $63,907 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.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
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 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, 2026, 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, 2026, 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, 2026 and 2025, 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, 2026, and the related notes and financial statement schedule (collectively, the consolidated
financial statements), and our report dated May 22, 2026 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.

(amounts in thousands, except per 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 three proprietary brands include
the HOKA® (HOKA), UGG® (UGG), and Teva® (Teva) brands. Refer to the section below entitled “Reportable
Operating Segments” for information regarding the phase out of standalone operations for the Koolaburra by UGG®
(Koolaburra) brand and AHNU® (AHNU) brand, and the prior sale of the Sanuk brand.
The Company sells its products through quality domestic and international retailers and international distributors in
its wholesale channel, 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.
Basis of Presentation**.** The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto (referred to herein
as consolidated financial statements) as of March 31, 2026, and 2025, and for the years ended March 31, 2026,
2025, and 2024 (referred to herein as “year ended” or “years ended,” or as “fiscal year 2026,” “fiscal year 2025,” and
“fiscal year 2024,” respectively) are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States (US GAAP).
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.
Reportable Operating Segments. As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s three reportable operating segments
include the worldwide operations of the HOKA brand, UGG brand, and Other brands (primarily consisting of the
Teva brand) (collectively, the Company’s reportable operating segments). The Other brands reportable operating
segment includes current and historical results of brands previously sold and brands for which standalone
operations have been phased out, as discussed below.
Consistent with the Company’s continuous focus on pursuing its most profitable long-term opportunities,
management has taken the following strategic actions to streamline its brand portfolio within the Other brands
reportable operating segment:
- During the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, the Company began phasing out standalone
operations for the AHNU brand. The Company closed Ahnu.com as of October 1, 2025, and
completed the phase out of the AHNU brand in the wholesale channel during the third and fourth
quarters of fiscal year 2026. The Company did not incur material exit costs or obligations
associated with this plan.
- During the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company began phasing out standalone operations
for the Koolaburra brand. The Company closed Koolaburra.com as of the end of fiscal year 2025
and completed the phase out of the Koolaburra brand in the wholesale channel during third and
fourth quarters of fiscal year 2026. The Company did not incur material exit costs or obligations
associated with this plan.
- The Company completed the sale of the Sanuk brand during the second quarter of fiscal year 2025.
The financial results for the Company’s reportable operating segments during fiscal year 2025
present the former Sanuk brand through August 15, 2024 (Sanuk Brand Sale Date).
Refer to Note 13, “Reportable Operating Segments,” for further information on the Company’s reportable operating
segments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024
(amounts in thousands, except per share data)
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 it believes to be reasonable. In addition, management
has considered the potential impact of macroeconomic and geopolitical factors on its business and results of
operations, including inflationary pressures, increased tariffs, rising supply chain costs, high interest rates, foreign
currency exchange rate volatility, escalating global conflicts, changes in discretionary spending, and recession risks.
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 accounting policies that require the use of management estimates and assumptions include those
related to revenue recognition such as sales returns, chargebacks, and sales discounts as well as contract
liabilities; accounts receivable allowances; inventory; income taxes including valuation of deferred income taxes;
stock-based compensation; impairment assessments, including for long-lived assets; the fair value of financial
instruments; those related to operating lease assets and lease liabilities including term, classification, and the
Company’s incremental borrowing rate (IBR).
Foreign Currency Translation. The Company considers the United States (US) dollar to be 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, as the HOKA brand’s net sales have increased as a percentage of
aggregate net sales, the impacts of seasonality have been partially mitigated as HOKA brand sales are generally
more evenly distributed throughout the fiscal year, although quarterly results may fluctuate based on the timing of
product launches. This trend is expected to continue. In addition, the Company has further mitigated the impacts of
seasonality by diversifying and expanding its year-round product offerings across its brands.
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.
Recently Adopted. The following is a summary of an ASU adopted by the Company and its impact upon adoption:
| Standard | Description | Impact upon Adoption | ||
| ASU 2023-09 - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09) | This ASU requires annual disclosures of prescribed standard categories for the components of the effective tax rate reconciliation, disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction, and other income-tax related disclosures. This ASU is effective on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. | The Company prospectively adopted this ASU beginning with this Annual Report. This ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements other than additional disclosures under Note 5, “Income Taxes.” |

This ASU is effective on either a retrospective, prospective, or modified prospective basis, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. | Q1 FY 2029 | The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its annual consolidated financial statements and interim condensed consolidated financial statements. | |||
| ASU 2025-09 - Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements | This ASU clarifies and improves certain aspects of hedge accounting, including guidance on the assessment of similar risk exposure for groups of forecasted transactions related to cash flow hedges and other targeted amendments intended to better align hedge accounting with an entity’s risk management activities. This ASU is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. | Q1 FY 2028 | The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its annual consolidated financial statements and interim condensed consolidated financial statements. | |||
| ASU 2025-11 - Interim Reporting: Narrow-Scope Improvements | This ASU requires disclosure of events since the most recent annual reporting period that have a material impact on interim results, provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures, and clarifies the form and content requirements for interim financial statements. This ASU is effective on either a prospective or retrospective basis for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. | Q1 FY 2029 | The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on disclosures in its interim condensed consolidated financial statements. |

(amounts in thousands, except per share data)
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.
The Company maintains a portion of its cash in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured bank deposit
accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company did not experience any losses in such
accounts during the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024. Based on the size and strength of the banking
institutions used, the Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risks in cash.
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 predominantly 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.
The Company outsources the production of its finished goods to independent third-party contractors that
manufacture all of its products (independent manufacturers), the majority of which are in Southeast Asia. During the
year ended March 31, 2026, production of finished goods was predominantly from Vietnam and Indonesia, while
less than 5% was from China or any other individual country. The majority of raw materials and components used by
independent manufacturers are purchased from affiliates, manufacturers, factories, and other agents (designated
suppliers), who work with other subcontractors that extract, process, or convert these raw materials. Sheepskin is
used to manufacture a significant portion of the Company’s UGG brand products and is sourced primarily from
designated suppliers in Australia and processed by two tanneries in China.
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. Amortization of implementation costs begins when the software is ready for its
intended use. Amortization of implementation costs are calculated on a straight-line basis over the term of the
hosting arrangement, including reasonably certain renewals, which are generally one to three years. Amortization
expense is recorded in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

CCAs are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:
| As of March 31, | |||
| 2026 | 2025 | ||
| Prepaid expenses: | |||
| Net CCAs placed in service | $2,053 | $2,167 | |

| CCAs in process | 16,508 | 163 | |
| Total | $20,529 | $6,194 |
Refer to the section titled “Recoverability of Definite-Lived Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets” below, within
this footnote, for further information on an impairment of a CCA recorded during the year ended March 31, 2025.
Property and Equipment, Net. Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, 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 is recorded in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of
comprehensive income. Depreciation was $74,590, $67,579, and $54,958 during the years ended March 31, 2026,
2025, and 2024, 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, “Leases,” 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,
Table of Contents F-15
DECKERS OUTDOOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024
(amounts in thousands, except per share data)
“Leases,” 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:
| Years Ended March 31, | |||
| 2026 | 2025 | ||
| Beginning balance | $28,118 | $25,686 | |
| Additions and changes in estimate | 8,152 | 2,192 | |
| Liabilities settled during the period | (735) | (732) | |
| Accretion expenses | 1,122 | 927 | |
| Foreign currency translation gains | 133 | 45 | |
| Ending balance | $36,790 | $28,118 |
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets*.* Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the
estimated fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. As of March 31, 2026, and 2025, the carrying
value of goodwill recorded in the consolidated balance sheets was $13,990, consisting of $7,889 and $6,101
attributable to the HOKA brand and UGG brand reportable operating segments, respectively. The Company also
holds an indefinite-lived intangible asset for a trademark related to the Teva brand. As of March 31, 2026, and 2025,
the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset recorded within other intangible assets in the consolidated
balance sheets was $15,454.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized and are assessed for impairment at least annually
and if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company
performs its annual goodwill assessment at the reporting unit level (the wholesale channel of each of the HOKA
brand and UGG brand) as of December 31st and performs its annual indefinite-lived intangible asset assessment
for the Teva brand as of October 31st. When evaluating for impairment, the Company first performs a qualitative
assessment. If the qualitative assessment indicates potential impairment, the Company performs a quantitative
assessment to estimate fair value using discounted cash flow models (such as an income approach) and other

market-based valuation techniques. An impairment charge is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over
fair value. No impairment losses were recorded for goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets during the years
ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024. Accumulated goodwill impairment losses were $15,831 as of March 31,
2026, and 2025.
Definite-Lived Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets. Definite-lived intangible assets include definite-lived
trademarks. As of March 31, 2026, and 2025, the definite-lived intangible asset net carrying value is immaterial.
Other long-lived assets include operating lease assets and property and equipment (primarily machinery and
equipment, internal-use software (including CCAs), and related leasehold improvements).
Definite-lived intangible and other long-lived assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful
lives. Definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment at the asset group
level, which is the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent, when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If indicators are present, recoverability is
assessed by comparing the carrying value of the asset group to estimated undiscounted future cash flows; if not
recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess of carrying value over estimated fair value. Estimated
fair value is generally determined using discounted future cash flows or other market -based valuation techniques.
Impairment losses, if any, are recorded within SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive
income.
No impairment indicators for definite-lived intangible assets were identified during the years ended March 31, 2026,
and 2025. During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded an $8,164 impairment loss within SG&A
expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income related to the Sanuk brand definite-lived
trademark in the Other brands reportable operating segment. The impairment was driven by lower-than-expected
results of operations in the wholesale channel, which resulted in the carrying value exceeding its estimated fair
value, determined by using discounted future cash flows.
No impairment indicators for other long-lived assets were identified during the year ended March 31, 2026. During
the years ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company recorded impairment charges of $4,290 and $1,015,
respectively, within SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The impairment
charge recorded during the year ended March 31, 2025, related primarily to an underperforming CCA and was
included within unallocated enterprise and shared brand expenses. The impairment charge recorded during the
year ended March 31, 2024, related primarily to underperformance of certain retail store‑related operating lease
assets and related leasehold improvements within the UGG brand and HOKA brand reportable operating segments.
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 up to 18
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.
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. The related assets and liabilities are classified based on their maturity dates
and recorded in other current assets or other assets, and in other accrued expenses or other long-term liabilities, as
applicable, in the consolidated balance sheets.

(amounts in thousands, except per share data)
Changes in the fair value of Designated Derivative Contracts are recorded, net of tax, in OCI in the consolidated
statements of comprehensive income and in accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) in the consolidated
balance sheets. Amounts are reclassified from AOCL to net sales in the consolidated statements of comprehensive
income when the related sales are recognized and to SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of
comprehensive income after maturity. 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 10, “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 11,
“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 at the transaction price, net of variable consideration,
including sales returns and allowances for sales discounts and chargebacks, and excludes taxes that are collected
from customers and remitted to governmental authorities, such as sales, use, certain excise, and value-added
taxes. Revenue excludes fees and sales commissions, which 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 and Business Concentrations,” for further information regarding the Company’s components of variable
consideration.
Cost of Sales*.* Cost of sales for the Company’s goods is primarily for finished goods, as well as related overhead.
Finished goods include 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.

(amounts in thousands, except per share data)
Distribution Costs*.* Distribution costs include payroll and related costs, rent and occupancy, depreciation and other
related costs, and other SG&A expenses within other segment items for owned warehousing, third-party logistics
provider (3PL) service fees, and receiving, inspecting, allocating, and packaging product. Distribution costs include
fixed costs and variable costs that fluctuate with net sales and are expensed as incurred, which are primarily
included in unallocated enterprise and shared brand expenses. Such costs amounted to $266,237, $279,090, and
$238,312 for the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively, and are recorded in SG&A expenses
in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Refer to Note 13, “Reportable Operating Segments,” for
further information on the Company’s unallocated enterprise and shared brand expenses.
Research and Development Costs*.* Research and development (R&D) costs include payroll and related costs and
other SG&A expenses within other segment items. R&D costs are expensed as incurred, and included within each
reportable operating segment, as applicable, as well as unallocated enterprise and shared brand expenses. Such
costs amounted to $68,899, $56,676, and $49,171 for the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024,
respectively, and are recorded in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Refer
to Note 13, “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; and are specific to the Company’s brands and allocated to each reportable operating
segment, as applicable. Such costs amounted to $495,838, $432,198, and $348,852 for the years ended March 31,
2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 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, 2026, and 2025 are $3,519 and $4,045, 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), which include a market condition based on the Company’s relative total stockholder
return (TSR) as well as financial performance conditions and service requirements, 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 9, “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 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 $6,824, $6,528,
and $5,129 during the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, 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, 2026, 2025, and 2024.

(amounts in thousands, except per share data)
Non-qualified Deferred Compensation*.* The Company sponsors an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation
plan (NQDC Plan) that provides certain members of its management team with 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 95% of any cash incentive bonus under the NQDC Plan. The
Company may utilize a trust as an informal reserve for the benefits payable under the NQDC Plan, though assets
remain subject to claims of general creditors. The Company primarily funds its obligations under the NQDC Plan
through corporate-owned life insurance. 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 11, “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 12, “Basic and Diluted Shares,” for further information on a
reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.

Note 2. Revenue Recognition and Business Concentrations
Disaggregated Revenue. Refer to Note 13, “Reportable Operating Segments,” for further information on the
Company’s disaggregation of revenue by reportable operating segment.
Channel Concentration. Net sales by channel were as follows:
| Years Ended March 31, | |||||
| 2026 | 2025 | 2024 | |||
| Wholesale | $3,208,107 | $2,855,865 | $2,432,307 | ||

| Total | $5,472,296 | $4,985,612 | $4,287,763 |
Geographic Concentration. Net sales by geography were as follows:
| Years Ended March 31, | |||||
| 2026 | 2025 | 2024 | |||
| Domestic | $3,191,518 | $3,186,709 | $2,863,674 | ||

| Total | $5,472,296 | $4,985,612 | $4,287,763 |
Foreign Currency Concentration. For the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, no single international
country comprised 10.0% or more of the Company’s total net sales. For the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and
2024, net sales in foreign currencies, which exclude US denominated distributor sales, were $1,748,061,
$1,376,782, and $1,105,057, respectively.
Customer Concentration*.* For the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, no single global customer
comprised 10.0% or more of the Company’s total net sales. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has one customer
that represents 18.5% of trade accounts receivable, net, compared to one customer that represents 13.6% of trade
accounts receivable, net, as of March 31, 2025. Management performs regular evaluations concerning the ability of
the Company’s customers to satisfy their obligations to the Company and recognizes an allowance for doubtful
accounts based on these evaluations.
Variable Consideration. Components of variable consideration include the estimated sales return asset and
liability, as well as allowances for chargebacks and sales discounts. Estimated variable consideration is included in
the transaction price only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will
not occur in a future period. The Company reassesses these estimates at each reporting period and adjusts them,
as necessary, to reflect changes in facts and circumstances.
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. Returns are generally accepted from customers and end consumers up 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:
| Sales Return Asset | Sales Return Liability | ||
| Balance, March 31, 2024 | $13,866 | $(55,327) | |
| Net additions to sales return liability (1) | 74,150 | (306,968) | |
| Actual returns | (66,896) | 298,833 | |
| Balance, March 31, 2025 (2) | 21,120 | (63,462) | |
| Net additions to sales return liability (1) | 81,681 | (328,887) | |
| Actual returns | (75,072) | 312,294 | |
| Balance, March 31, 2026 (2) | $27,729 | $(80,055) |
(1) Net additions to the sales return liability include a provision for anticipated sales returns, which consists of both contractual
return rights and discretionary authorized returns.
(2) As of March 31, 2026, and 2025, the sales return liability includes $63,907 and $47,216, respectively, for the wholesale
channel and $16,148 and $16,246, respectively, for the DTC channel.
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 adjustments, 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.
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.
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 certain loyalty programs in its DTC channel where consumers can earn
rewards from qualifying purchases that are considered a material right for discounts on future purchases. The
Company defers recognition of revenue for unredeemed loyalty awards acquired through qualifying purchases until
the earlier of actual or estimated redemption or expiration. Estimates are determined based on historical redemption
and expiration patterns. Activity related to loyalty programs for the contract liability recorded in other accrued
expenses in the consolidated balance sheets was as follows:
| Years Ended March 31, | |||
| 2026 | 2025 | ||
| Beginning balance | $(18,566) | $(17,586) | |
| Redemptions and expirations for loyalty certificates and points recognized in net sales | 105,066 | 68,080 | |

Deferred Revenue. Revenue is deferred for wholesale channel transactions when certain conditions outlined within
the contract terms, including the transfer of control or delivery of product, have not occurred, such as when a
wholesale channel customer prepays for ordered product. Activity related to deferred revenue for the contract
liability recorded in other accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets was as follows:

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.

DECKERS OUTDOOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024
(amounts in thousands, except per share data)
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

The fair value of Designated Derivative Contracts and Non-Designated Derivative Contracts is determined by using
quoted market prices of the same or similar instruments, including spot and forward currency exchange rates,
adjusted for counterparty exposure and the Company’s own credit risk, if any. Refer to Note 10, “Derivative
Instruments,” for further information regarding Designated Derivative Contracts and Non-Designated Derivative
Contracts.
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 as management’s plans.

| Total deferred tax liabilities | (73,768) | (62,977) | |
| Deferred tax assets, net | $68,501 | $77,591 |
The deferred tax assets are currently expected to be realized between fiscal years 2027 and 2032. 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 tax valuation allowances,
and changes therein, are primarily driven by foreign losses in jurisdictions in which the Company expects limited
future profitability, as well as the release of a valuation allowance on domestic tax attributes.
Repatriation of Cash. Certain earnings of the Company’s non‑US subsidiaries are subject to US taxation, including
amounts treated as global intangible low-taxed income (commonly known as GILTI), which limits the differences
between the financial reporting and income tax basis of foreign undistributed earnings. In addition, as of March 31,
2026, foreign withholding taxes have not been provided on unremitted earnings of the Company’s non‑US
subsidiaries, as these amounts are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. The Company expects to repatriate
foreign earnings, and the related cash, only to the extent such earnings have been or will be subject to US income
tax and such cash is not required to fund ongoing operations. Due to the number of foreign jurisdictions involved
and the variability in applicable tax laws, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the amount of foreign
withholding taxes that may be incurred upon repatriation. No intercompany dividends subject to foreign withholding
tax were declared by the Company during the year ended March 31, 2026.
Changes in Tax Law. The Company has evaluated and is currently monitoring the impact of recent tax law
changes on its consolidated financial statements for the following:
- On July 4, 2025, H.R. 1, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, was signed into law.
Elements relevant to the Company include the reinstatement of bonus depreciation, the deductibility
of domestic research and development expenses, and modifications to international provisions. The
legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective during fiscal year 2026 and
other relevant provisions effective during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027 (next fiscal year).
The Company applied the applicable provisions of the new tax law during fiscal year 2026, which
did not have a material impact on the effective tax rate, but did provide cash tax benefits due to
accelerated tax deductions.
- Various jurisdictions in which the Company operates have enacted legislation in response to Pillar
Two model rules (Pillar Two) that were previously released by the Organization for Economic Co-
operation and Development (commonly known as OECD), introducing a 15% global minimum tax
rate applied on a country-by-country basis for large multinational corporations. The Company
applied the applicable provisions of the new tax law during fiscal year 2026. The effects of the new
tax law are included in the ‘Foreign tax effects’ line item in the section above titled “Income Tax
Expense Reconciliation,” but did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements. The Company will continue to monitor Pillar Two developments and reflect the
impact of legislative changes in future periods including the additional guidance released in January
2026 regarding the Side-by-Side Framework to exclude US parented companies from the scope of
some Pillar Two taxes.
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, and is presented in
the ‘Changes in net unrecognized tax benefits’ line item in the section above titled “Income Tax Expense
Reconciliation.” 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:
| Years Ended March 31, | |||||
| 2026 | 2025 | 2024 | |||
| Beginning balance | $21,233 | $45,620 | $44,901 | ||

| Lapse of statute of limitations | (2,426) | (6,446) | (2,948) | ||
| Ending balance | $26,338 | $21,233 | $45,620 |
Total gross unrecognized tax benefits recorded in the consolidated balance sheets are as follows:
| As of March 31, | |||
| 2026 | 2025 | ||
| Current liability | |||
| Income tax payable | $6,206 | $5,688 | |
| Long-term liability | |||
| Income tax liability | 20,132 | 15,545 | |
| Total | $26,338 | $21,233 |
As of March 31, 2026, and 2025, gross unrecognized tax benefits exclude immaterial federal benefits for state
income taxes related to uncertain tax positions in the Company’s income tax returns that would affect the
Company’s effective tax rate, if recognized. Interest and penalties recorded in income tax liability in the consolidated
balance sheets as of March 31, 2026, and 2025, and in interest expense in the consolidated statements of
comprehensive income during the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, were immaterial.
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 2022.
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

DECKERS OUTDOOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024
(amounts in thousands, except per share data)
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, which was assumed
by Fifth Third bank, as successor by merger with Comerica Bank 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 international 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
international jurisdictions to borrow. The Company is liable for the obligations of each international borrower, but the
obligations of the international 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, 2026, the effective interest rates for the 1-month SOFR and ABR are 4.75% and
6.75%, 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, 2026, the Company made no borrowings or repayments under
the Primary Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has no outstanding balance, $593 of outstanding
letters of credit, and available borrowings of $399,407 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 $43,512, with an overdraft facility sublimit of
CNY100,000, or $14,504. 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.

(amounts in thousands, except per share data)
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, 2026, the effective interest rate is 3.30%.
Borrowing Activity. During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company made no borrowings or repayments under
the China Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has no outstanding balance, outstanding bank
guarantees of $480, and available borrowings of $43,032 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, 2026, the Company is in
compliance with all financial covenants under the Primary Credit Facility and China Credit Facility.
Note 7. Leases
The Company primarily leases retail stores, showrooms, offices, and distribution facilities under operating lease
contracts which vary in lease terms. 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.
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 includes 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.

tenant improvement allowances. Non-cash additions during fiscal year 2026 primarily relate to investments in the Company’s

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Obligations. The Company has various types of purchase obligations for which no liability has been
recorded in the consolidated balance sheets, as it expects to fulfill these commitments in the normal course of
business, as follows:
| Payments Due by Period | |||||||
| Less than 1 Year | 1-3 Years | 3-5 Years | Total | ||||
| Purchase obligations for product (1) | $980,776 | $— | $— | $980,776 | |||
| Purchase obligations for commodities (2) | 84,702 | 26,278 | — | 110,980 | |||
| Other purchase obligations (3) | 118,326 | 159,836 | 4,347 | 282,509 | |||
| Total | $1,183,804 | $186,114 | $4,347 | $1,374,265 |
(1) Purchase obligations for product consist primarily of open purchase orders issued to independent manufacturers in the ordinary
course of business and reflect the Company’s estimate of future payment commitments based on information currently
available. These obligations may be cancelled in limited situations and such cancellations are infrequent.
(2) Purchase obligations for commodities represent remaining commitments under existing supply agreements, which are subject
to minimum volume commitments (collectively, commodity contracts). The Company currently enters into fixed purchasing
contracts with designated suppliers of sheepskin and sugarcane-derived (EVA). The Company expects purchases under
commodity contracts in the ordinary course of business will eventually exceed the minimum commitment levels. The reported
amount generally reflects remaining minimum commitments expected to be consumed in future periods in the ordinary course
of business, and any remaining deposits expected to become fully refundable or to be reflected as a credit against future
purchases which are recorded in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2026, and 2025, the
Company had no outstanding deposits on supply agreements, and no refunds were received during the year ended March 31,
2026, as a result of such agreements. During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company received a $16,243 refund for
outstanding deposits on supply agreements related to year ended March 31, 2024. Subsequent to March 31, 2026, through
May 1, 2026, the Company entered into additional commodity contracts for an aggregate minimum volume commitment of
$111,800.
(3) Other purchase obligations consist of non-cancellable fixed and estimated variable minimum commitments for information
technology (IT) services, 3PL service fees and other supply chain services, promotional expenses, and other commitments
under service and collaboration contracts.
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, product liability, and breach of
contract 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. 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 9. 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
replaced 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.
The 2024 SIP initially reserved 7,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance to employees,
directors, consultants, independent contractors, and advisors. 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. As of March 31, 2026,
7,445,947 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, 2026, 2025, and 2024, 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. No dividends are paid or accumulated on any RSU or LTIP
PSU awards.
A summary of the status and changes of the Company’s nonvested shares is as follows:
| RSU****s | LTIP PSU****s | ||||||

(amounts in thousands, except per share data)
Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards*.* LTIP PSU awards have a multi-fiscal year performance period, generally three
years (Measurement Period), with performance metrics established at the beginning of the period. The grant date
fair value of LTIP PSUs is determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation model, which estimates a range of possible
future stock prices for the Company and each member of a peer group over the Measurement Period. For each
grant, the model incorporates key assumptions, including the Company’s common stock price at the grant date,
risk-free interest rate, expected dividend yield, stock price volatility, and correlation coefficients. The model also
incorporates a market condition based on the Company’s relative TSR compared to a peer group of companies
(peer market condition), which is reflected in the grant date fair value and not subsequently adjusted.
In addition to the peer market condition reflected in grant date fair value, LTIP PSU awards include financial
performance conditions and service requirements that affect the recognition of compensation expense and the
ultimate vesting of the awards. Financial performance conditions are tied to specified revenue and pre-tax income
targets (financial performance conditions). The Company evaluates the probability of achieving the financial
performance conditions based on its most recent long-range forecast at least quarterly and may adjust stock-based
compensation expense to reflect updated expectations.
Following a determination of achievement of the financial performance conditions for the applicable Measurement
Period, vesting of each LTIP PSU award is subject to adjustment for the peer market condition through the
application of the TSR modifier. The number of LTIP PSUs that ultimately vest may increase up to a maximum of
200% of the target award, based on achievement of the financial performance conditions and the TSR modifier.
LTIP PSU awards are subject to time-based service requirements and will not vest if minimum threshold financial
performance conditions are not met. For LTIP PSUs granted during the fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024, the
Company expects to exceed the minimum threshold target performance criteria based on its long-range forecast as
of March 31, 2026.
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, 2026. 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 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2024 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan (2024 ESPP). The 2024 ESPP reserves 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. 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
on the closing price on that date. The first offering period commenced on March 1, 2025. As of March 31, 2026,
5,955,235 shares of common stock remained available for future issuance under the 2024 ESPP, subject to
adjustment for future stock splits, stock dividends, and similar changes in capitalization.
Stock-Based Compensation. Components of stock-based compensation recorded, net of estimated forfeitures, in
SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income were as follows:

The maximum amount of loss the Company would incur if derivative counterparties failed completely to perform
according to the terms of the contracts is limited to the derivative gross fair value of contracts in asset positions. The
non-performance risk of the Company and its counterparties did not have a material impact on the fair value of its
derivative contracts. As of March 31, 2026, unrealized gains on derivative contracts recorded in AOCL are expected
to be reclassified into net sales within the next twelve months. Refer to Note 11, “Stockholders’ Equity,” for further

Note 11. Stockholders’ Equity
Stock Repurchase Program**.** The Board has approved a stock repurchase program which authorizes the
Company 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). The Board last approved an authorization of $2,250,000 on May 21, 2025, to repurchase shares of the
Company’s common stock under the same conditions as the prior stock repurchase program. As of March 31, 2026,
the aggregate remaining approved amount under the stock repurchase program is $1,549,602.
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. The credit agreements governing the Company’s revolving
credit facilities allow it to make stock repurchases under this program, so long as it does not exceed certain
leverage ratios. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has not exceeded the stated leverage ratios, and no defaults
have occurred under these credit agreements.
Stock repurchase activity under the Company’s stock repurchase program was as follows:
| Years Ended March 31, | |||||
| 2026 | 2025 | 2024 | |||
| Total number of shares repurchased (1) | 10,496,292 | 3,800,040 | 4,289,124 | ||

| LTIP PSUs | 254 | 155 | 291 | ||
| Deferred Non-Employee Director Equity Awards | 5 | 2 | 3 | ||
| Employee Stock Purchase Plan | 3 | — | — |
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 9, “Stock-Based Compensation,” for further information on the Company’s equity incentive plans.
Note 13. Reportable Operating Segments
Information reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), who is the Principal Executive Officer, is
organized into the Company’s three reportable operating segments, which include the brand operations for the
HOKA brand, UGG 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024
(amounts in thousands, except per share data)
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 (including maintenance and utilities); depreciation and other related
costs; and other segment items. There are no inter-segment sales for any period presented. The accounting policies
applicable to the Company’s reportable operating segments are consistent with those described in Note 1,
“General.”
Income from operations of each reportable operating segment excludes 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
DCs 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 DCs and 3PL service fees, along with
enterprise costs which include centralized commercial operations, IT, finance, human resources, legal, supply chain,
and corporate executives.
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.
Reportable operating segment information, with a reconciliation to the consolidated statements of comprehensive
income, was as follows:
