Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ:CROX) today reported financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Third Quarter Highlights:

  • Revenues were in-line with guidance at $245.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. On a constant currency basis, revenues decreased 11.6%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015.
  • Improved inventory management resulted in a $21.4 million, or 11.2%, decrease in inventory as of September 30, 2016 compared to September 30, 2015.

Gregg Ribatt, Chief Executive Officer, said: “We continue to manage our business tightly in what remains a challenging consumer environment. Revenues were in-line with our expectations while gross margin exceeded our guidance by approximately 200 basis points as we further limited off-price selling and promotional activities. At the same time, we reduced our inventories 11% compared with last year. Looking ahead, we continue to plan conservatively given the current top-line headwinds. We are working hard to drive quality growth through our product, marketing, and distribution strategies and we remain confident that the steps we’ve taken to build a better business model will result in increased profitability and greater shareholder value.”

Third Quarter Operating Results

In the third quarter of 2016, the company reported GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders of $5.4 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $27.8 million, or $0.37 per basic and diluted share, in the same quarter of the prior year.

As outlined in detail in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations set forth later in this press release, the company recorded net charges of $3.3 million unrelated to our core business in the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $8.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015. Excluding these items, the company reported on a comparable basis, non-GAAP adjusted net loss attributable to common shareholders of $2.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016, versus non-GAAP adjusted net loss attributable to common shareholders of $19.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Balance Sheet

Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2016 were $150.2 million compared to $143.3 million as of December 31, 2015. Inventory was $169.4 million as of September 30, 2016 compared to $190.8 million as of September 30, 2015.

CROCS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESRECONCILIATION OF GAAP MEASURES TO NON-GAAP MEASURES(UNAUDITED)

In addition to financial measures presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we present “Non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses”, “Non-GAAP cost of sales”, and “Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders”, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted results exclude the impact of items that management believes affect the comparability or underlying business trends in our consolidated financial statements in the periods presented.

We also present certain information related to our current period 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 GAAP. Constant currency represents current period results that have been recasted 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 rate fluctuations.

Management uses adjusted results to assist in comparing business trends from period to period on a consistent non-GAAP basis in communications with the board of directors, stockholders, analysts, and investors concerning our financial performance. We believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and other users of our consolidated financial statements as an additional tool for evaluating operating performance. We believe they also provide a useful baseline for analyzing trends in our operations. Investors should not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

_________________(1) Comparable store status is determined on a monthly basis. Comparable store sales includes 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. Location closures in excess of three months are excluded until the thirteenth month post re-opening. E-commerce revenues are based on same site sales period over period.

(2)  Reflects year over year change as if the current period results were in “constant currency,” which is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above for more information.
