This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. From time to time, we may also provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public. Such forward-looking statements are subject to the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Statements that refer to industry trends, projections of our future financial performance, anticipated trends in our business and other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. These statements, which express management’s current views concerning future events or results, use words like “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “strive,” and future or conditional tense verbs like “could,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions or variations. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding

•our expectations regarding future trends, expectations, and performance of our business;

•our expectations regarding the impact on our business of economic trends;

•our belief that we have sufficient liquidity to fund our business operations during the next twelve months;

•the amount and timing of our capital expenditures; and

•our expectations about the impact of our strategic plans.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which may cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include, without limitation, those described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” under Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” under Item 1A in this report. Caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Moreover, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report.

(UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Unless otherwise noted in this report, any description of the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” includes Crocs, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries within our reportable operating segments and corporate operations. We are engaged in the design, development, worldwide marketing, distribution, and sale of casual lifestyle footwear and accessories for women, men, and children. We strive to be the global leader in the sale of casual footwear characterized by functionality, comfort, color, and lightweight design.

Our reportable operating segments include: (i) North America for the Crocs Brand, operating throughout the United States and Canada; (ii) Asia Pacific for the Crocs Brand, operating throughout Asia, Australia, and New Zealand; (iii) Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Latin America (“EMEALA”) for the Crocs Brand; and (iv) the HEYDUDE Brand. See Note 13 — Operating Segments and Geographic Information for additional information.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Such unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (“Annual Report”) and have been prepared on a consistent basis with the accounting policies described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report. Our accounting policies did not change during the six months ended June 30, 2023, other than with respect to the new accounting pronouncements adopted as described in Note 2 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

Reclassifications

We have reclassified certain amounts on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and Note 3 — Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities to conform to current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

U.S. GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions used to determine certain amounts that affect the financial statements are reasonable, based on information available at the time they are made. Management believes that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions made when accounting for items and matters such as, but not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, customer rebates, sales returns, impairment assessments and charges, recoverability of long-lived assets, deferred tax assets, valuation allowances, uncertain tax positions, income tax expense, share-based compensation expense, the assessment of lower of cost or net realizable value on inventory, useful lives assigned to long-lived assets, depreciation and amortization are reasonable based on information available at the time they are made. To the extent there are differences between these estimates and actual results, our condensed consolidated financial statements may be materially affected.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

New Accounting Pronouncement Adopted

Income Taxes

The CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 (“CHIPS”) and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) were signed into law on August 9, 2022 and August 16, 2022, respectively. The legislation introduces new options for monetizing certain credits, a corporate alternative minimum tax, and a stock repurchase excise tax. The corporate alternative minimum tax and stock repurchase excise tax were effective as of January 1, 2023 and are the main provisions that are applicable to us. The Company is currently monitoring the impact of both the CHIPS and IRA but does not expect that any of the provisions included in these acts would result in a material impact to our deferred tax assets, liabilities, or income taxes payable.

New Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted

Pillar Two Global Minimum Tax

On October 8, 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) released a statement on the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting, which agreed to a two-pillar solution to address tax challenges of the digital economy. On December 20, 2021, the OECD released Pillar Two model rules defining a 15% global minimum tax rate for large multinational corporations. The OECD continues to release additional guidance and countries are implementing legislation with widespread adoption of the Pillar Two Framework expected by 2024. We are continuing to evaluate the Pillar Two Framework and its potential impact on future periods.

Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after June 30, 2023 are not expected to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

All of our derivative instruments are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets within either ‘Prepaid expenses and other assets’ or ‘Accrued expenses and other liabilities’ at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The fair values of our derivative instruments were an insignificant asset and an insignificant liability at both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. See Note 6 — Derivative Financial Instruments for more information.

The carrying amounts of our cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, current accrued expenses and other liabilities, and our Asia revolving facilities approximate their fair value as recorded due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Our borrowing instruments are recorded at their carrying values in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, which may differ from their respective fair values. The Term Loan B Facility (as defined below) and the Notes (as defined below) are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and are reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at face value, less unamortized issuance costs. The fair value of our Revolving Facility (as defined below) approximates its carrying value at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 based on interest rates currently available to us for similar borrowings. The carrying value and fair value of our borrowing instruments as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were:


	June 30, 2023				December 31, 2022

Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities

Our non-financial assets, which primarily consist of property and equipment, right-of-use assets, goodwill, and other intangible assets, are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at carrying value. The fair values of these assets are determined, as required, based on Level 3 measurements, including estimates of the amount and timing of future cash flows based upon historical experience, expected market conditions, and management’s plans.

6. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We transact business in various foreign entities and are therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk that impacts the reported U.S. Dollar (“USD”) amounts of revenues, expenses, and certain foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities. In order to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency and to reduce the volatility in earnings caused by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, we may enter into forward contracts to buy and sell foreign currency. By policy, we do not enter into these contracts for trading purposes or speculation.

Counterparty default risk is considered low because the forward contracts we enter into are over-the-counter instruments transacted with highly-rated financial institutions. We were not required to and did not post collateral as of June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

Our derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as a derivative asset or liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets within either ‘Prepaid expenses and other assets’ or ‘Accrued expenses and other liabilities’ at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether we have elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged transactions in a cash flow hedge. We may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain components of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply, or we elect not to apply hedge accounting.

We report derivative instruments with the same counterparty on a net basis when a master netting arrangement is in place. For the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, we classify cash flows from derivative instruments at settlement in the same category as the cash flows from the related hedged items within ‘Cash provided by operating activities.’

As of June 30, 2023, we have derivatives not designated as hedging instruments (“non-hedged derivatives”), which consist of foreign currency forward contracts primarily used to hedge monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. For our non-hedged derivatives, changes in fair value are recognized within ‘Foreign currency gains (losses), net’ in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

We also have cash flow hedges (“hedged derivatives”) as of June 30, 2023. We are exposed to fluctuations in various foreign currencies against our functional currency, the U.S. Dollar. Specifically, we have subsidiaries that transact in currencies other than their functional currency. We use cash flow hedges to minimize the variability in cash flows caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates related to our external sales and external purchases of inventory. Currency forward agreements involve fixing the exchange rates for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. The currency forward agreements are typically cash settled in USD for their fair value at or close to their settlement date. We may also use currency option contracts under which we will pay a premium for the right to sell a specified amount of a foreign currency prior to the maturity date of the option.

For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of foreign exchange risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in ‘Accumulated other comprehensive loss’ in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings, the related gain or loss is subsequently reclassified to ‘Revenues’ or ‘Cost of sales’ in the condensed consolidated statement of income, which is consistent with the nature of the hedged transaction. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there was a loss of $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, recognized due to reclassification from ‘Accumulated other comprehensive loss’ to ‘Revenues’ or ‘Cost of sales’ related to our hedged derivatives. During the next twelve months, we estimate that a gain of approximately $0.1 million will be reclassified to our condensed consolidated statement of income.

Senior Revolving Credit Facility

In July 2019, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), with the lenders named therein and PNC Bank, National Association, as a lender and administrative agent for the lenders. Since that time, we have amended the Credit Agreement, which, as amended to date, provides for a revolving credit facility of $750.0 million, which can be increased by an additional $250.0 million subject to certain conditions (the “Revolving Facility”). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable interest rate based on (A) a Base Rate (defined as the highest of (i) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus 0.25%, (ii) the Prime Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and (iii) the Daily Simple SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus 1.00%), plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.875% based on our leverage ratio or 1.35% to 1.975% for the Daily Simple SOFR based on the leverage ratio, or (B) the Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.35% to 1.975% based on our leverage ratio for one-month interest periods and 1.40% to 2.025% based on our leverage ratio for three month interest periods. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by all of the assets of the Borrowers and guaranteed by certain other subsidiaries of the Borrowers.

stock repurchases, the maximum leverage ratio does not exceed certain levels; and (ii) certain acquisitions so long as there is borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement of at least $40.0 million. As of June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2023, the total commitments available from the lenders under the Revolving Facility were $750.0 million. At June 30, 2023, we had $200.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $1.3 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Facility, which reduces amounts available for borrowing under the Revolving Facility. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $548.7 million and $748.7 million, respectively, of available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility, which matures November 2027.

Term Loan B Facility

On February 17, 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Term Loan B Credit Agreement”) with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and lender, to among other things, finance a portion of the cash consideration for the Acquisition.

The Term Loan B Credit Agreement provides for an aggregate term loan B facility in the principal amount of $2.0 billion (the “Term Loan B Facility”), which is secured by substantially all of the Company’s and each subsidiary guarantor’s assets on a pari passu basis with their obligations arising from the Credit Agreement and is scheduled to mature on February 17, 2029, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Term Loan B Credit Agreement. Additionally, subject to certain conditions, including, without limitation, satisfying certain leverage ratios, the Company may, at any time, on one or more occasions, add one or more new classes of term facilities and/or increase the principal amount of the loans of any existing class by requesting one or more incremental term facilities.

Each term loan borrowing which is an alternate base rate borrowing bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Term Loan B Credit Agreement), plus 2.50%. Each term loan borrowing which is a term benchmark borrowing bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Term Loan B Credit Agreement) plus 3.50%.

Outstanding principal under the Term Loan B Facility is payable on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, in a quarterly aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million. Quarterly aggregate principal payments began on June 30, 2022, with the remaining principal amount due on February 17, 2029, the maturity date. As of June 30, 2023, we had $1,180.0 million in outstanding principal and the Term Loan B Facility was fully drawn with no remaining borrowing capacity.

The Term Loan B Credit Agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, incurrence financial covenants, representations and warranties, events of default and other provisions. As of June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Term Loan B Credit Agreement.

Asia Revolving Credit Facilities

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had two revolving credit facilities in Asia, the revolving credit facility with China Merchants Bank Company Limited, Shanghai Branch (the “CMBC Facility”), which matured in January 2023 and provided up to 10.0 million RMB, or $1.5 million using current exchange rates as of January 2023, and the revolving credit facility with Citibank (China) Company Limited, Shanghai Branch (the “Citibank Facility”), which, as amended, provides up to an equivalent of $15.0 million.

As of June 30, 2023, we had no borrowings outstanding on the Citibank Facility. As of December 31, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings on the CMBC Facility, and we had borrowings outstanding of $4.3 million on the Citibank Facility.

Senior Notes Issuances

In March 2021, the Company completed the issuance and sale of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.250% Senior Notes due March 15, 2029 (the “2029 Notes”), pursuant to the indenture related thereto (as amended and/or supplemented to date, the “2029 Notes Indenture”). Additionally, in August 2021, the Company completed the issuance and sale of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% Senior Notes due August 15, 2031 (the “2031 Notes”), pursuant to the indenture related thereto (as amended and/or supplemented to date, “the 2031 Notes Indenture” and, together with the 2029 Notes Indenture, the “Indentures” and, each, an “Indenture”). Interest on each of the 2029 Notes and the 2031 Notes (collectively, the “Notes”) is payable semi-annually.

Table of Contents

The Company will have the option to redeem all or any portion of the 2029 Notes, at once or over time, at any time on or after March 15, 2024, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus a premium declining ratably on an annual basis to par and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The Company will also have the option to redeem some or all of the 2029 Notes at any time before March 15, 2024 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption. In addition, at any time before March 15, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes at a redemption price of 104.250% of the principal amount with the proceeds from certain equity issuances, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

The Company will have the option to redeem all or any portion of the 2031 Notes, at once or over time, at any time on or after August 15, 2026, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus a premium declining ratably on an annual basis to par and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The Company will also have the option to redeem some or all of the 2031 Notes at any time before August 15, 2026 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption. In addition, at any time before August 15, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Notes at a redemption price of 104.125% of the principal amount with the proceeds from certain equity issuances, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

The Notes rank pari passu in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior debt, including the Credit Agreement, and are senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s future debt that is, by its term, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes. The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries that is a borrower or guarantor under the Credit Agreement and by each of the Company’s wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries that guarantees any debt of the Company or any guarantor under any syndicated credit facility or capital markets debt in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $25.0 million.

The Indentures contain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt or issue certain preferred stock; pay dividends or repurchase or redeem capital stock or make other restricted payments; declare or pay dividends or other payments; incur liens; enter into certain types of transactions with the Company’s affiliates; and consolidate or merge with or into other companies. As of June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Notes.

8. COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock.

Effective tax rate	23.4		%	25.2		%	22.8		%	25.6		%

Table of Contents

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, was primarily driven by a shift in the mix of the Company's domestic and foreign earnings. Our effective income tax rate, for each period presented, also differs from the federal U.S. statutory rate due to differences in income tax rates between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. We had unrecognized tax benefits of $224.7 million and $219.4 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and we do not expect any significant changes in tax benefits in the next twelve months.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, income tax expense increased $26.8 million compared to the same period in 2022. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 22.8% compared to an effective tax rate of 25.6% for the same period in 2022, a 2.8% decrease. This decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by a shift in the mix of the Company's domestic and foreign earnings. Our effective income tax rate, for each period presented, also differs from the federal U.S. statutory rate due to differences in income tax rates between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.

Our tax rate is volatile and may increase or decrease with changes in, among other things, the amount of income or loss by jurisdiction, our ability to utilize net operating losses and foreign tax credits, changes in tax laws, and the movement of liabilities established pursuant to accounting guidance for uncertain tax positions as statutes of limitations expire, positions are effectively settled, or when additional information becomes available.

11. EARNINGS PER SHARE

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, an insignificant number of outstanding shares issued under share-based compensation awards were anti-dilutive and, therefore, excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase Commitments

As of June 30, 2023, we had purchase commitments to third-party manufacturers, primarily for materials and supplies used in the manufacture of our products, for an aggregate of $279.4 million.

Other

We are regularly subject to, and are currently undergoing, audits by various tax authorities in the United States and several foreign jurisdictions, including customs duties, import, and other taxes for prior tax years.

During our normal course of business, we may make certain indemnities, commitments, and guarantees under which we may be required to make payments. We cannot determine a range of estimated future payments and have not recorded any liability for indemnities, commitments, and guarantees in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We are also subject to litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business, including employment, intellectual property, and product liability claims. Other than as set forth below, we are not party to any other pending legal proceedings that we believe would reasonably have a material adverse impact on our business, financial results, and cash flows.

For all claims and disputes, we have accrued estimated losses of $2.5 million within ‘Accrued expenses and other liabilities’ in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023. As we are able, we estimate reasonably possible losses or a range of reasonably possible losses. As of June 30, 2023, we estimated that reasonably possible losses associated with these claims and other disputes could potentially exceed amounts accrued by an insignificant amount.

13. OPERATING SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

We have four reportable operating segments. For the Crocs Brand, we have three reportable operating segments based on the geographic nature of our operations: North America, Asia Pacific, and EMEALA. Our HEYDUDE Brand is also a reportable operating segment. Each of the reportable operating segments derives its revenues from the sale of footwear and accessories to external customers.

Additionally, Crocs ‘Brand corporate’ costs represent operating expense that includes product creation, design, and marketing expenses centrally managed for the Crocs Brand, as well as certain royalty income. Crocs Brand corporate costs are included within the Crocs Brand for presentation purposes to align with the way management views the Company. ‘Enterprise corporate’ costs include global corporate costs associated with both brands, including legal, information technology, human resources, and finance, as well as costs associated with global digital operations.

Each segment’s performance is evaluated based on segment results without allocating Brand corporate or Enterprise corporate expenses. Segment profits or losses include adjustments to eliminate inter-segment sales. Reconciling items between segment income from operations and income from operations consist of unallocated brand and enterprise corporate and other expenses, as well as inter-segment eliminations.

We do not report asset information by segment because that information is not used to evaluate performance or allocate resources between segments.

(1) We acquired HEYDUDE on February 17, 2022 and in connection therewith added the HEYDUDE Brand as a new operating segment. Therefore, the amounts shown above for the six months ended June 30, 2022 represent results during the partial period beginning February 17, 2022 through June 30, 2022.

14. ACQUISITION OF HEYDUDE

On February 17, 2022, we acquired 100% of the equity of HEYDUDE, pursuant to the SPA. HEYDUDE is engaged in the business of distributing and selling casual footwear under the brand name “HEYDUDE.” The Acquisition has allowed us to diversify and expand our business by adding a second brand to the Crocs, Inc. portfolio.

Table of Contents

The aggregate preliminary purchase price at the closing of the Acquisition was $2.3 billion. We paid aggregate consideration of $2.05 billion in cash (the “Cash Consideration”), subject to adjustment based on, among other things, the cash, indebtedness, transaction expenses, and working capital of the companies comprising HEYDUDE and their respective subsidiaries as of the Acquisition Date, and issued 2,852,280 shares of the Company’s common stock to one of the sellers (the “Equity Consideration Shares”). The Equity Consideration Shares were subject to a lock-up period beginning on the Acquisition Date, which has since expired so all of the Equity Consideration Shares have been released from the lock-up. The purchase price paid to the sellers is final.

The Cash Consideration was financed via the Company’s entry into the $2.0 billion Term Loan B Facility and $50.0 million of borrowings under the Revolving Facility. As a result of the Acquisition, HEYDUDE became wholly owned by Crocs, Inc. Accordingly, the results of HEYDUDE are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the Acquisition Date and are reported in the HEYDUDE Brand operating segment. HEYDUDE contributed revenue of $347.3 million and income from operations of $57.3 million from the Acquisition Date through June 30, 2022.

Purchase Price Allocation

The Acquisition was accounted for in accordance with the ASC Topic 805 Business Combinations. As a result, we applied acquisition accounting, which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the Acquisition Date. For certain assets and liabilities, those fair values were consistent with historical carrying values. The fair value of inventory was determined using both a market approach and a cost approach. With respect to intangible assets, the estimated fair value was based on the Multi Period Excess Earnings approach for the trademark and the distributor method for the customer relationships. These models used primarily Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, including an estimate of future revenues, future cash flows, and discount rates.

The following table summarizes the final allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the Acquisition Date:


	February 17, 2022
	(in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	6,232
Accounts receivable, net	68,698
Inventories	155,773
Prepaid expenses and other assets	7,880
Intangible assets	1,780,000
Goodwill	710,034
Right-of-use assets	2,844

Accrued expenses and other liabilities	(18,860)
Income taxes payable	(30,572)
Long-term deferred tax liability	(312,656)

Intangible Assets

The components of intangible assets acquired in connection with the Acquisition were as follows:


	Weighted-Average Useful Life	Amortization Method	Estimated Fair Value
			(in thousands)
Customer relationships	15	Straight-line	$	210,000
Trademark	Indefinite	—	1,570,000
Total intangible assets			$	1,780,000

Goodwill

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired business's net assets represents goodwill. The goodwill amount of $710.0 million at June 30, 2023 includes an aggregate adjustment of $3.3 million recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2023 as a result of changes to preliminary valuation estimates. The purchase price allocation was finalized during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Goodwill largely consists of the acquired workforce and economies of scale resulting from the Acquisition. The total goodwill amount acquired was assigned to the HEYDUDE operating segment. None of the goodwill will be deductible for income tax purposes.

Escrow and Holdback Amounts

Additionally, $125.0 million of the Cash Consideration (the “Escrow Amount”) was placed in an escrow account to partially secure the indemnification obligations of the sellers. The Escrow Amount will be released to the sellers after the date that is 18 months after the Acquisition Date, less any amounts that have been released to compensate the Company and any amounts for claims that were noticed prior to the date that is 18 months after the Acquisition Date but not yet resolved by that date, as provided in the SPA. As of June 30, 2023, certain receivables had been recorded related to the Escrow Amount. Further, $8.5 million of the Cash Consideration (the “Adjustment Holdback Amount”) was held back and retained as security (but not as the sole source of recovery) for any downward adjustments to the purchase price made in accordance with the SPA. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Adjustment Holdback Amount was paid to the sellers.

Acquisition-related Costs

Costs incurred to complete the Acquisition are expensed as incurred and included in ‘Selling, general, and administrative expenses’ in our condensed consolidated statement of income. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, no Acquisition-related costs were recognized. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, $20.6 million of Acquisition-related costs were recognized.

Unaudited Pro Forma Information

The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 combines the historical results of Crocs and HEYDUDE, assuming that the companies were combined as of January 1, 2021 and include business combination accounting effects from the Acquisition, including amortization charges from acquired intangible assets, adjustments to the fair value of inventory, interest expense on the financing transactions used to fund the Acquisition, and Acquisition-related transaction costs and tax-related effects.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Business Overview

Crocs, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries (collectively the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) are engaged in the design, development, worldwide marketing, distribution, and sale of casual lifestyle footwear and accessories for women, men, and children. We strive to be the world leader in innovative casual footwear for women, men, and children, combining comfort and style with a value that consumers want.

Known or Anticipated Trends

Based on our recent operating results and current perspectives on our operating environment, we anticipate certain trends will continue to impact our operating results:

•We acquired HEYDUDE in February 2022. Since the closing of the acquisition, we have acquired new customers and gained share in strategic wholesale accounts. We have also expanded the HEYDUDE Brand internationally, specifically in Europe, where we have begun testing in a few direct markets, including the United Kingdom, Germany, and the Netherlands, as well as a few distributor markets. Additionally, we continue to make progress towards our two main integration efforts for HEYDUDE in 2023, the construction of a new distribution center in Las Vegas, Nevada and the implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system. While we still anticipate annual revenue growth for the brand compared to the prior year, we are seeing some headwinds from non-comparable sales due to rapid expansion to U.S. strategic customers in 2022 and the discontinuation of relationships with smaller customers, a more cautious wholesale partner based on the overall market outlook, and constrained distribution capabilities as a result of our ERP and warehouse transition.

•While overall we have seen evidence as to the underlying strength and growth potential of both the Crocs and HEYDUDE brands, we remain cautious relative to consumer confidence. However, amidst a more challenging economic landscape, we believe we are well positioned to gain market share.

•Foreign currency fluctuations resulting in a stronger U.S. Dollar (“USD”) have impacted, and we expect will continue to impact, our business, contributing to, among other things, increased cost of sales. A stronger USD also results in costs for foreign goods purchased in USD but recognized in foreign currencies (“purchasing power”) that are unfavorable.

•Our liquidity position remains strong with $166.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and $563.7 million in available borrowing capacity as of June 30, 2023. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, we paid down $299.1 million of net borrowings, reducing total borrowings to $2.03 billion as of June 30, 2023. We also resumed our share repurchase program in July 2023, repurchasing $50.0 million of our common stock.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), we present certain information related to our results of operations through “constant currency,” which is a non-GAAP financial measure and should be viewed as a supplement to our results of operations and presentation of reportable segments under U.S. GAAP. Constant currency represents current period results that have been retranslated using prior year average foreign exchange rates for the comparative period to enhance the visibility of the underlying business trends, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on reported amounts.

Management uses constant currency to assist in comparing business trends from period to period on a consistent basis in communications with the Board, stockholders, analysts, and investors concerning our financial performance. We believe constant currency is useful to investors and other users of our condensed consolidated financial statements as an additional tool to evaluate operating performance and trends. Investors should not consider constant currency in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Second Quarter 2023 Financial and Operational Highlights

Revenues were $1,072.4 million for the second quarter of 2023, an 11.2% increase compared to the second quarter of 2022. The increase was due to the net effects of: (i) higher unit sales volume in both brands, which increased revenues by $92.1 million, or 9.5%; (ii) higher average selling price on a constant currency basis (“ASP”), which increased revenues by $23.7 million, or 2.5%, driven primarily by increased pricing and favorable channel mix for the Crocs Brand, partially offset by increased promotions for the HEYDUDE Brand; and (iii) unfavorable changes in exchange rates, which decreased revenues by $8.0 million, or 0.8%.

The following were significant developments affecting our businesses and capital structure during the three months ended June 30, 2023:

•We grew revenues in both brands, with the largest gains over prior year in our direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) channel. For the Crocs Brand, the increase in revenues was led by our Asia Pacific segment, which grew revenues by 33.2%, or 39.0% on a constant currency basis, and our North America segment, which grew revenues by 12.2%, or 12.5% on a constant currency basis, compared to the second quarter of 2022. Revenues for our EMEALA segment slightly decreased by 0.2%, or 1.4% on a constant currency basis. HEYDUDE Brand revenues increased 3.0%.

•We sold 33.0 million pairs of shoes for the Crocs Brand in the second quarter of 2023, an increase of 1.8% from the second quarter of 2022. We sold 8.3 million pairs of shoes for the HEYDUDE Brand in the second quarter of 2023, an increase of 3.6% compared to the second quarter of 2022.

•Gross margin was 57.9%, an increase of 630 basis points from last year’s second quarter. This was in part due to higher air freight incurred in the prior year due to supply chain disruptions, as well as 360 basis points from adjustments in the prior year to the fair value of inventory costs upon the close of the acquisition of HEYDUDE.

•Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) was $302.8 million compared to $249.8 million in the second quarter of 2022, as a result of investments in talent in both brands and an increase in marketing expense. As a percent of revenues, SG&A increased to 28.2% of revenues compared to 25.9% of revenues in the second quarter of 2022.

•Income from operations increased to $318.5 million from $248.0 million in last year’s second quarter. Net income was $212.4 million, or $3.39 per diluted share, compared to $160.3 million, or $2.58 per diluted share, in last year’s second quarter.

(2) The change due to price is based on the change in ASP.

Revenues. In the three months ended June 30, 2023, revenues increased compared to the same period in 2022. This was primarily due to higher volume in both brands. Higher ASP in the Crocs Brand, primarily due to increased pricing and favorable channel mix, was partially offset by lower ASP in the HEYDUDE Brand as a result of increased promotions. Unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, most significantly in the Chinese Yuan and South Korean Won, slightly decreased revenues.

Revenues also increased in the six months ended June 30, 2023, driven by higher volume, driven in part by greater demand for both brands and driven in part by operating HEYDUDE for a full six months in 2023 compared to the partial period from the acquisition date of February 17, 2022 through June 30, 2022 (the “Partial Period”). Higher ASP in the Crocs Brand, primarily due to increased pricing, offset in part by higher promotions, was partially offset by lower ASP in the HEYDUDE Brand as a

Table of Contents

result of increased promotions. Unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, most significantly the South Korean Won, Chinese Yuan, and Japanese Yen, decreased revenues.

Cost of sales. In the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, cost of sales decreased $15.8 million, or 3.4%. This was primarily driven by lower average cost per unit on a constant currency basis (“AUC”) of $39.6 million, or 8.5%, primarily due to prior year adjustments of $34.3 million to the fair value of inventory costs upon close of the acquisition of HEYDUDE, and favorable foreign currency fluctuations of $8.2 million, or 1.8%. Higher volume increased cost of sales by $32.0 million, or 6.9%. In the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, cost of sales includes $122.8 million and $125.6 million of distribution expenses primarily related to receiving, inspecting, warehousing, and packaging product in owned and third-party warehouses, combined with transportation costs associated with delivering products from distribution centers to wholesale partners, retail stores and end customers.

In the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, cost of sales increased $56.8 million, or 7.1%, due to higher volume of $173.3 million, or 21.6%, offset in part by lower AUC of $99.8 million, or 12.4%, primarily due to prior year adjustments of $62.3 million to the fair value of inventory costs upon close of the acquisition of HEYDUDE. Favorable foreign currency fluctuations decreased cost of sales by $16.7 million, or 2.1%. In the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, cost of sales includes $228.0 million and $222.6 million of distribution expenses primarily related to receiving, inspecting, warehousing, and packaging product in owned and third-party warehouses, combined with transportation costs associated with delivering products from distribution centers to wholesale partners, retail stores and end customers.

Gross profit. Gross margin increased in the three months ended June 30, 2023 to 57.9% compared to 51.6% in the same period in 2022. This was in part due to higher air freight incurred in the prior year, as well as 360 basis points from adjustments in the prior year to the fair value of inventory costs upon close of the acquisition of HEYDUDE.

Gross profit increased $123.6 million, or 24.8%, in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, due to higher volumes of $60.2 million, or 12.1%, and the net impact of lower AUC and higher ASP, as described above, of $63.2 million, or 12.7%. This was partially offset by insignificant unfavorable foreign currency changes.

Gross margin in the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 56.1% compared to 50.6% in 2022. This was due in part to 380 basis points from adjustments in the prior year to the fair value of inventory costs upon close of the acquisition of HEYDUDE, as well as higher air freight incurred in the prior year.

Gross profit increased $275.0 million, or 33.4%, in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily as a result of higher volume of $167.1 million, or 20.3%, and the net impact of lower AUC and higher ASP, as described above, of $114.6 million, or 13.9%. This was partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency changes of $6.7 million, or 0.8%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. SG&A increased $53.0 million, or 21.2%, in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. This is in part due to higher compensation expense of $13.9 million primarily associated with an investment in talent. There was also an increase in marketing expenses of $12.5 million and an increase in bad debt expense of $7.3 million, primarily related to prior year collections on previously reserved receivables in Russia that did not recur in the current year. Additionally, there was an increase of $19.3 million in other costs, including variable costs associated with higher revenues, information technology costs, and professional services fees.

SG&A expenses increased $88.2 million, or 19.4%, during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. We have continued to invest in marketing to fuel growth, with an increase of $32.6 million to SG&A, mostly associated with investments in marketing in the HEYDUDE Brand. Additionally, there were higher compensation costs of $30.7 million associated with variable expenses related to higher revenues in the DTC channel and an investment in talent. Various other costs, including legal, information technology costs, and variable costs associated with higher revenues, also increased SG&A by $50.0 million. These increases were offset in part by $25.1 million of lower costs in 2023 associated with the prior year HEYDUDE acquisition and integration.

Foreign currency gains (losses), net. Foreign currency gains (losses), net, consist of realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses from the remeasurement and settlement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies as well as realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency derivative instruments. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized realized and unrealized net foreign currency gains of $0.6 million compared to losses of $1.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Table of Contents

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized realized and unrealized net foreign currency gains of $0.1 million compared to losses of $0.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Income tax expense. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, income tax expense increased $10.8 million compared to the same period in 2022. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was 23.4% compared to an effective tax rate of 25.2% for the same period in 2022, a 1.8% decrease. This decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by a shift in the mix of the Company's domestic and foreign earnings. Our effective income tax rate, for each period presented, also differs from the federal U.S. statutory rate due to differences in income tax rates between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, income tax expense increased $26.8 million compared to the same period in 2022. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 22.8% compared to an effective tax rate of 25.6% for the same period in 2022, a 2.8% decrease. This decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by a shift in the mix of the Company's domestic and foreign earnings.

Crocs Brand

North America Operating Segment

Revenues. North America revenues increased in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, due primarily to higher volumes, driven by both channels, as we gained market share in a declining U.S. footwear market. This increase was offset in part by lower ASP as a result of an increase in promotions and unfavorable product mix.

The increase in North America revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 is primarily due to an increase in volumes, driven by both channels, partially offset by lower ASP primarily as a result of an increase in promotions.

Income from Operations. Income from operations for our North America segment was $214.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $37.2 million, or 21.0%, compared to the same period in 2022. Gross profit increased by $44.7 million, or 17.4%, compared to prior year, mostly as a result of higher volume. Lower AUC also contributed to higher gross profit as a result of prior year air freight costs that did not recur in the current year, somewhat offset by product mix.

SG&A for our North America segment increased $7.5 million, or 9.5%, during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. This increase was primarily due to higher variable expenses, including compensation costs, related to higher revenues in the DTC channel.

Table of Contents

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, income from operations for our North America segment was $342.3 million, an increase of $35.4 million, or 11.5%, compared to the same period in 2022. Gross profit increased $52.1 million, or 11.8%, primarily due to higher volumes. This was partially offset by a decrease due to lower ASP, due to increased promotions and product mix, that outpaced air freight cost savings in the current year.

SG&A for our North America segment increased $16.7 million, or 12.3%, during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to an increase in variable expenses, including compensation costs, related to higher revenues in the DTC channel.

Asia Pacific Operating Segment

Revenues. Revenues in our Asia Pacific segment increased 33.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, and was up in most countries in the region, driven by growth in China, in part as a result of the relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions, and Australia, as well as growth in Southeast Asia, Japan, and South Korea. Higher ASP also contributed to higher revenues, primarily as a result of less discounting in the current quarter. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency changes, most significantly in the Chinese Yuan and Korean Won.

Revenues in our Asia Pacific segment increased in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, as a result of ASP increases, as a result of less discounting, and volume increases. Unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations in most currencies, but most significantly the Korean Won, partially offset ASP and volume increases.

Income from Operations. Income from operations for the Asia Pacific segment was $76.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $25.4 million, or 49.4%, compared to the same period in 2022. Gross profit increased by $38.3 million, or 40.5%, as a result of higher ASP, as described above, and higher volumes, partially offset by unfavorable purchasing power impacting inventory costs and foreign currency translation changes.

SG&A for our Asia Pacific segment increased $12.9 million, or 29.8%, during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to increased variable expenses associated with higher revenues.

Income from operations for the Asia Pacific segment was $133.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $51.9 million, or 63.7%, compared to the same period in 2022. Gross profit increased by $70.0 million, or 46.6%, primarily due to higher ASP, as described above, offset partially by higher AUC. Higher volume also increased gross profit, but changes in foreign currency partially offset these increases.

SG&A for our Asia Pacific segment increased $18.1 million, or 26.3%, in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, mostly due to increased variable expenses associated with higher revenues and investments in marketing.

EMEALA Operating Segment

Revenues. Revenues slightly decreased in the EMEALA segment in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily as a result of decreased volume in our distributor markets due in part to the termination of our relationship with a significant distributor in Africa after finding evidence of product diversion to the gray market outside of its approved territories. This decrease was partially offset by higher ASPs, primarily due to increased pricing and fewer promotions, as well as favorable channel mix associated with lower distributor revenue, as described above. Favorable changes in foreign currency, primarily in the Euro, also increased revenues.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, EMEALA revenues increased compared to the same period in 2022, due to higher ASP, offset in part by decreased volume, both of which are in part related to the termination of a relationship with a significant distributor in Africa, as described above. ASPs were also higher due to increased pricing and fewer promotions. Unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations in the Euro and Argentine Peso decreased revenues.

Income from Operations. Income from operations for the EMEALA segment was $61.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $7.7 million, or 14.5%, compared to the same period in 2022. Gross profit increased $13.0 million, or 17.2%, mostly as a result of higher ASP, as described above. Favorable foreign currency fluctuations, mainly in the Euro, also increased gross profit. These increases were offset in part by decreased volume.

SG&A for our EMEALA segment increased $5.3 million, or 23.6%, during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to prior year collections on previously reserved receivables in Russia that did not recur in the current year.

Table of Contents

Income from operations for the EMEALA segment was $126.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $38.6 million, or 43.7%, compared to the same period in 2022. Gross profit increased $41.1 million, or 30.6%, primarily due to higher ASPs.

SG&A for our EMEALA segment increased $2.5 million, or 5.4%, during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. This was primarily due to an increase in marketing costs, offset by decreases due to various costs associated with the prior year shutdown of our direct operations in Russia that did not recur in the current year.

Crocs Brand Corporate

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, total net costs within ‘Brand corporate’ increased $6.6 million, or 23.3%, compared to the same period in 2022, due primarily to investments in brand marketing.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, total net costs within ‘Brand corporate’ increased $8.0 million, or 13.6%, compared to the same period in 2022, due primarily to investments in brand marketing.

HEYDUDE Brand

Revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, revenues increased compared to 2022. The majority of this increase was due to higher volume, partially offset by lower ASP driven by increased promotions, primarily in our DTC channel, and gray market pressures from sales by unauthorized resellers, particularly in online marketplaces.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, revenues increased compared to the Partial Period in 2022, primarily due to higher volume, driven in part by operating HEYDUDE for a full six months in 2023 compared to 2022, but also due to higher demand. Partially offsetting this increase was lower ASP driven by increased promotions, primarily in our DTC channel.

Income from Operations. Income from operations for the HEYDUDE segment was $65.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $23.8 million, or 57.2%, compared to 2022. Gross profit increased $37.4 million, or 49.6%, due in part to prior year adjustments of $34.3 million to the fair value of inventory costs upon close of the acquisition and in part due to higher volume, partially offset by lower ASP, as described above.

SG&A for the HEYDUDE Brand segment increased $13.6 million, or 40.2%, during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. This is primarily due to investments in marketing and talent made over the past year since the acquisition in February 2022.

Income from operations for the HEYDUDE segment was $142.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $84.8 million, or 147.9%, compared to the Partial Period in 2022. Gross profit increased $124.5 million, or 118.8%, in part due to higher volume, as described above, and in part due to prior year adjustments of $62.3 million to the fair value of inventory costs upon close of the acquisition. These increases were offset partially by lower ASP, as described above.

SG&A for the HEYDUDE Brand segment increased $39.7 million, or 83.7%, during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the Partial Period in 2022. This is primarily due to investments in marketing and talent made over the past year since the acquisition in February 2022.

Enterprise Corporate

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, total net costs within ‘Enterprise corporate’ increased $17.1 million, or 35.9%, compared to the same period in 2022. This increase was primarily due to increases in compensation costs from a larger investment in talent and increased professional services costs, offset in part by lower costs in 2023 associated with the prior year HEYDUDE acquisition and integration.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, total net costs within ‘Enterprise corporate’ increased $15.9 million, or 14.6%, compared to the same period in 2022. This was primarily due to increases in compensation costs, professional services costs, information technology costs, and costs associated with the discontinuation of an information technology project. These increases were offset in part by lower costs in 2023 associated with the prior year HEYDUDE acquisition and integration.

(2) Comparable store status, as included in the DTC comparable sales figures above, is determined on a monthly basis. Comparable store sales include the revenues of stores that have been in operation for more than twelve months. Stores in which selling square footage has changed more than 15% as a result of a remodel, expansion, or reduction are excluded until the thirteenth month in which they have comparable prior year sales. Temporarily closed stores are excluded from the comparable store sales calculation during the month of closure and in the same month in the following year. Location closures in excess of three months are excluded until the thirteenth month post re-opening. E-commerce comparable revenues are based on same site sales period over period. E-commerce sites that are temporarily offline or unable to transact or fulfill orders (“site disruption”) are excluded from the comparable sales calculation during the month of site disruption and in the same month in the following year. E-commerce site disruptions in excess of three months are excluded until the thirteenth month after the site has re-opened.

(3) We acquired HEYDUDE on February 17, 2022 and, as a result, added the HEYDUDE Brand as a new operating segment. As such, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we did not disclose DTC comparable sales for the HEYDUDE Brand.

Financial Condition, Capital Resources, and Liquidity

Liquidity

Our liquidity position as of June 30, 2023 was:


	June 30, 2023
	(in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	166,235
Available borrowings	563,689

As of June 30, 2023, we had $166.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and up to $563.7 million of available borrowings, including $548.7 million of remaining borrowing availability under the Revolving Facility (as defined below) and $15.0 million of remaining borrowing availability under the Asia revolving facilities. As of June 30, 2023, the Term Loan B Facility (as defined below) was fully drawn and there was no available borrowing capacity. We believe that cash flows from operations, our cash and cash equivalents on hand, and available borrowings under our Revolving Facility will be sufficient to meet our ongoing liquidity needs and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months.

In July 2023, we resumed our share repurchase program. We continue to plan to methodically balance debt repayment and share repurchases as we approach our long-term net leverage targets.

Additional future financing may be necessary to fund our operations and there can be no assurance that, if needed, we will be able to secure additional debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. Although we believe we have adequate sources of liquidity over the long term, the success of our operations, global economic conditions, and the pace of sustainable growth in our markets, among other things, could each impact our business and liquidity.

Repatriation of Cash

As a global business, we have cash balances in various countries and amounts are denominated in various currencies. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates impact our results of operations and cash positions. Future fluctuations in foreign currencies may have a material impact on our cash flows and capital resources. Cash balances held in foreign countries may have additional restrictions and covenants associated with them which could adversely impact our liquidity and our ability to timely access and transfer cash balances between entities.

All of the cash held outside of the U.S. could be repatriated to the U.S. as of June 30, 2023 without incurring additional U.S. federal income taxes. In some countries, repatriation of certain foreign balances is restricted by local laws. These limitations may affect our ability to fully utilize our cash resources for needs in the U.S. or other countries and could adversely affect our

liquidity. As of June 30, 2023, we held $101.6 million of our total $166.2 million in cash in international locations. This cash is primarily used for the ongoing operations of the business in the locations in which the cash is held. Of the $101.6 million, $3.2 million could potentially be restricted by local laws.

Senior Revolving Credit Facility

The Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00, and a maximum leverage ratio of (i) 4.00 to 1.00 from the quarter ended March 31, 2022 through, and including, the quarter ending December 31, 2023, (ii) 3.75 to 1.00 for the quarter ending March 31, 2024, (iii) 3.50 to 1.00 for the quarter ending June 30, 2024, and (iv) 3.25 to 1.00 for the quarter ending September 30, 2024 and thereafter (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances). The Credit Agreement permits, among other things, (i) stock repurchases subject to certain restrictions, including after giving effect to such stock repurchases, the maximum leverage ratio does not exceed certain levels; and (ii) certain acquisitions so long as there is borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement of at least $40.0 million. As of June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.

Operating Activities. Cash provided by operating activities consists of net income adjusted for noncash items and changes in working capital. Cash provided by operating activities increased $245.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, driven by higher net income, adjusted for non-cash items, of $135.6 million and increases in operating assets and liabilities of $110.3 million, primarily due to inventory.

Investing Activities. There was a $2,045.4 million decrease in cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease is primarily due to the cash paid for the acquisition, net of cash acquired, in the six months ended June 30, 2022 that did not recur in the current year. Refer to Note 14 — Acquisition of HEYDUDE in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Financing Activities. Cash provided by financing activities decreased by $2,298.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $2,026.0 million in proceeds from borrowings, which includes borrowings under the Term Loan B Facility of $2.0 billion used to fund the acquisition of HEYDUDE in part during the six months ended June 30, 2022 that did not recur in the current year. Additionally, there was an increase of $318.7 million in repayments of borrowings, an increase of $4.9 million in repurchases of common stock for tax withholding, and a decrease in cash provided by financing activities of $0.1 million. The overall decrease was offset by a $50.8 million decrease in deferred debt issuance costs.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no significant changes to the contractual obligations reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, other than (i) borrowings and repayments on the Term Loan B Facility, Revolving Facility, and Asia revolving credit facilities and (ii) future lease payments of approximately $111 million through 2033, as described in Note 4 — Leases in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2023, other than certain purchase commitments, which are described in Note 12 — Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an on-going basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no other significant changes in our critical accounting policies or their application since December 31, 2022.

See Note 2 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of recently adopted accounting pronouncements and issued accounting pronouncements that we believe may have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements when adopted.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We centrally manage our debt and investment portfolios considering investment opportunities and risks, tax consequences, and overall financing strategies. Our exposure to market risk includes interest rate fluctuations in connection with our Revolving Facility and certain financial instruments.

Borrowings under our Term Loan B Facility and Revolving Facility bear interest at a variable rate and are therefore subject to risk based upon prevailing market interest rates. Interest rates fluctuate as a result of many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors that are beyond our control.

As of June 30, 2023, we had borrowings with a face value of $2,080.0 million, comprised of the Notes, which carry a fixed rate, the Term Loan B Facility, and borrowings under our Revolving Facility. We also had $1.3 million in outstanding letters of credit under our Revolving Facility as of June 30, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, we had long-term borrowings with a face value of $2,379.3 million and $1.3 million in outstanding letters of credit under our Revolving Facility.

A hypothetical increase of 1% in the interest rate on the variable rate borrowings under our Term Loan B Facility and Revolving Facility would have increased interest expense by $4.0 million and $8.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Changes in exchange rates have a direct effect on our reported U.S. Dollar condensed consolidated financial statements because we translate the operating results and financial position of our international subsidiaries to U.S. Dollars using current period exchange rates. Specifically, we translate the statements of income of our foreign subsidiaries into the U.S. Dollar reporting currency using exchange rates in effect during each reporting period. As a result, comparisons of reported results between reporting periods may be impacted significantly due to differences in the exchange rates in effect at the time such exchange rates are used to translate the operating results of our international subsidiaries.

An increase of 1% of the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to foreign currencies when translating our financial results would have decreased our revenues and income before taxes during the three months ended June 30, 2023 by $6.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of 1% of the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to foreign currencies would have decreased our revenues and income before taxes by $11.7 million and $2.8 million, respectively. This analysis does not account for transactional fluctuations in accounts, such as those driven by purchasing power, as defined in “Known or Anticipated Trends” in Part I - Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The volatility of the exchange rates is dependent on many factors that cannot be forecasted with reliable accuracy.

In order to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency and to reduce the volatility in earnings caused by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, we may enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to buy or sell various foreign currencies. Changes in the fair value of these forward contracts are recognized in earnings in the period that the changes occur or in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings for derivatives classified as non-hedged or hedged, respectively, as defined in Note 6 — Derivative Financial Instruments in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As of June 30, 2023, the U.S. Dollar notional value of our outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts was approximately $148.8 million. The fair value of these contracts at June 30, 2023 was an insignificant asset and liability.

We perform a sensitivity analysis to determine the effects that market risk exposures may have on the fair values of our foreign currency forward exchange contracts. To perform the sensitivity analysis, we assess the risk of changes in fair values from the effect of hypothetical changes in foreign currency exchange rates. This analysis assumes a like movement by the foreign currencies in our hedge portfolio against the U.S. Dollar. As of June 30, 2023, a 10% appreciation in the value of the U.S. Dollar would result in a net increase in the fair value of our derivative portfolio of approximately $0.2 million.

See Part I - Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the impact of the change in foreign exchange rates on our U.S. Dollar condensed consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as such item is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) as of June 30, 2023. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2023, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applies its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures that, by their nature, can only provide reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In the three months ended March 31, 2022, we closed the Acquisition, as discussed in Note 14 — Acquisition of HEYDUDE, and as such, we are in the process of integrating HEYDUDE into our overall internal control over financial reporting and will include HEYDUDE in Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures for the year ending December 31, 2023. This process may result in changes to our internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the three months ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
