Full Fiscal Year 2027 Outlook for the Twelve Month Period Ending March 31, 2027

The Company’s outlook is forward-looking in nature, reflecting our expectations as of July 23, 2026, and is subject to significant risks and uncertainties that limit our ability to accurately forecast results. This outlook assumes no meaningful changes to the Company’s business prospects or risks and uncertainties identified by management that could impact future results, which include but are not limited to: changes in macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, including escalating global conflicts, shifts in consumer confidence and discretionary spending, inflationary pressures, and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; changes to global trade policy, including tariffs and trade restrictions; and supply chain disruption. This outlook does not assume the collection of refunds for tariffs previously paid.

• Net consolidated sales are still expected to be in the range of $5.86 billion to $5.91 billion.
  • HOKA is still expected to increase by a low-double-digit percentage versus last year.
  • UGG is still expected to increase by a mid-single-digit percentage versus last year.
• Gross margin is now expected to be slightly better than 56.5%.
• SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales are still expected to be approximately 35%.
• Operating margin is now expected to be slightly better than 21.5%.
• Effective tax rate is still expected to be approximately 23%.
• Diluted earnings per share is now expected to be in the range of $7.35 to $7.50, reflecting an increase of five cents versus the prior outlook.
• The earnings per share guidance assumes the repurchase of shares with a value equal to approximately 80% of the projected fiscal year 2027 free cash flow.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In certain instances the Company presents financial measures that were not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (non-GAAP financial measures), including constant currency and free cash flow. These non-GAAP financial measures provide information that may assist investors in understanding its financial results and assessing its prospects for future performance. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are either important indicators of operating performance because they exclude items that are unrelated to, and may not be indicative of, its core operating results, or are useful supplemental measures of its liquidity.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented by the Company may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and may not be appropriate measures for comparing the performance of other companies relative to Deckers. For example, to calculate constant currency information, the Company calculates the current period financial information using the foreign currency exchange rates that were in effect during the previous comparable period, excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate hedges and remeasurements in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Further, the Company reports DTC comparable net sales on a constant currency basis for DTC operations that were open throughout the current and prior reporting periods, and may adjust prior reporting periods to conform to current year accounting policies.

Finally, free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities for a particular period less capital expenditures made during that same period. The Company believes free cash flow is a useful supplemental measure of liquidity, as it reflects the cash generated from operations after investments required to support the strategic growth of the business.

The non-GAAP financial measures utilized by the Company are not intended to represent, and should not be considered to be more meaningful measures than, or alternatives to, measures of operating performance or liquidity determined in accordance with GAAP. To the extent the Company utilizes such non-GAAP financial measures in the future, it expects to calculate them using a consistent method from period-to-period.
