Importantly, sales were driven by robust demand for our core product, as well as positive consumer reaction to our new styles, such as Athens, Off-Road and Scutes. At the same time, we drove improvements in operating leverage, which allowed us to generate a significant improvement in our bottom line." Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $47.0 million, or 54.8% of revenues, compared to gross profit of $14.0 million, or 54.2% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005.

Mr. Snyder concluded, "The first six months of 2006 have been marked by a number of important accomplishments for Crocs. Financially, we reported significant improvements in revenues, net income, and income per diluted share, as well as completed a very successful initial public offering. Operationally, we made strategic investments in our infrastructure, particularly in the areas of manufacturing, shipping and warehousing in order to better serve our retail partners and to fully capitalize on the growing demand for our products. Strategically, we have further diversified our business with the introduction of new products and the addition of new channels of distribution. We are very pleased with the progress we have made across the board and we look forward to building on our positive momentum going forward." Non-GAAP Disclosures This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures with respect to net income and diluted earnings per common share, excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense. The Company's management uses these measures to monitor and evaluate operating results and trends and to gain an understanding of the comparative operating performance of the Company. The Company believes these measures enable investors to assess the Company's performance on the same basis applied by management and to ease comparisons of the Company's operating performance from period to period and among other companies that separately identify share-based compensation expenses.
