03 Aug Crocs Q2 Sales Slide 6 Percent
Crocs Inc. reported sales slumped 6.3 percent in the second quarter to $323.8 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015. On a constant currency basis, revenue decreased 6.2 percent.
Sales came in short of guidance calling for sales in the range of $340 million to $350 million.
Net income attributable to common stockholders on a GAAP basis increased 21.1 percent to $11.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015.
Gregg Ribatt, CEO, said, “Despite a decline in our revenue, I am encouraged by our strategic progress, which has enabled us to help mitigate the top-line pressure on profitability by delivering better than expected gross margins and managing expenses while reducing inventories. The global retail environment became more challenging as the second quarter progressed. This impacted our wholesale reorder opportunities and contributed to our sales shortfall relative to expectations. These headwinds were partially offset by a 2.9 percent increase in global direct-to-consumer comparable store sales, which is a positive indication that consumers are responding favorably to our new product line and enhanced marketing efforts. We remain confident that we have successfully re-positioned the business and built the platform to provide sustained growth and profitability over the long term.”
Second Quarter Operating Results
In the second quarter of 2016, the company reported GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders of $11.7 million or $0.13 per diluted share, compared with net income attributable to common stockholders of $9.7 million or $0.11 per diluted share in the same quarter of the prior year.
