from $34 million a year ago. Net income for the quarter ended
December 31, 2007 increased 84.1% to $38.3 million, or $0.45 per
diluted share, compared to $20.8 million, or $0.26 per diluted
share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2006. Net income per
diluted share for the quarters ended December 31 2007 and 2006 are
adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split that took effect in

million, or 56.0% of revenues, compared to $65.1 million, or 57.7%

were $71.9 million, or 32.0% of revenues, compared to $34.9
million, or 30.9% of revenues in the quarter ended December 31,
2006. Ron Snyder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Crocs,
Inc. commented �For the eighth quarter in a row Crocs delivered
industry leading revenue growth, net income growth and EPS growth.
Our more than 99% revenue gain in the fourth quarter highlights the
ongoing strong demand for Crocs branded footwear. We experienced
better than expected sell through of our fall line across men�s,
women�s, and children�s in each of our markets. To meet the higher
than anticipated orders over the holiday period we delivered a
meaningful amount of Mammoths by air-freight, which impacted our
gross margin. However, we were still able to grow diluted earnings
per share by 73% in the fourth quarter. As we approach the spring
and summer selling seasons, our bookings are strong compared to
December 31, 2006, our inventories are on plan and we believe we
are well positioned to achieve our short and long-term growth
objectives.� Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007
increased 138.9% to $847.4 million compared to $354.7 million for
the year ended December 31, 2006. For the year ended December 31,
2007, domestic sales rose approximately 82% to $440 million from
$242 million and international sales increased 264% to $408 million
from $112 million a year ago. Net income for the year ended
December 31, 2007 increased 161.2% to $168.2 million, or $2.00 per
diluted share, compared to $64.4 million, or $0.81 per diluted
share for the year ended December 31, 2006. Net income per diluted
share amounts for 2007 and 2006 are adjusted to reflect the
two-for-one stock split that took effect in June 2007. Gross profit
for 2007 was $497.6 million, or 58.7% of revenues, compared to
$200.6 million, or 56.5% of revenues for 2006. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 were
$259.9 million, or 30.7% of revenues, compared to $105.2 million,
or 29.7% of revenues in the year ended December 31, 2006. �We are
very pleased to have completed a landmark year in our Company�s
development with record sales and profits and several important
strategic advances,� continued Mr. Snyder. �2007 was highlighted by
the evolution of our product line, our significant expansion
overseas, key investments in our operating platform, and the
growing popularity of the Crocs brand in various markets throughout
the world. At the same time, we acquired and developed other
businesses and diversified into additional categories which we
believe will provide us with compelling new growth vehicles for the
future. We move forward focused on enhancing our global position
and building a stronger, more financially robust company.� Guidance
For the year ending December 31, 2008, Crocs reiterated its
previously issued growth targets and expects revenues of
approximately $1.16 billion and net income per diluted share of
approximately $2.70. For the six-months ending June 30, 2008, the
Company expects revenues to increase approximately 50% over the
six-month period ended June 30, 2007. Balance Sheet At December 31,
2007, Crocs had inventories of $248.4 million compared to $195.3 as
of September 30, 2007. Accounts receivables were $152.9 million as
of December 31, 2007 compared to $160.6 million as of September 30,
2007. Mr. Snyder concluded, �Since introducing our first shoe just
five years ago, we have rapidly grown our portfolio to
approximately 250 different styles, extended our reach into more
than 90 countries, and achieved almost $850 million in annual
sales. That said, we believe that we are still in the early stages
of our development and see considerable opportunity to grow our
domestic business through product innovation, category expansion,
and increased retail floor space. Internationally, our sales
accelerated over the past 12-months in Europe and Japan thanks to
our many brand building initiatives, which gives us confidence as
we prepare to launch a broader assortment of footwear and continue
with our strategic investments in growing markets. We remain
optimistic about our many long-term growth prospects and dedicated
to creating greater value for our shareholders.� Conference Call
