NIWOT, Colo., Oct. 27, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crocs, Inc. (Nasdaq:CROX) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014.
Third Quarter Financial Highlights:
- GAAP revenue increased 4.8% in the third quarter of 2014 to $302.4 million, which is in line with previously provided guidance of $300 million to $305 million. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased 5.4% in the third quarter of 2014.
- Net income was $0.12 per diluted common share on a GAAP basis in the third quarter of 2014. Excluding certain charges, the company reported a non-GAAP net income1 per common share of $0.30
Crocs President Andrew Rees said, "Revenues in the quarter were in line with our expectations in three out of four regions. Despite unfavorable exchange rates, we saw 13% year-over-year revenue growth in Europe, with the greatest part of that coming from strong wholesale channel performance. In the Americas, we saw a 10% revenue rise, as U.S. same-store sales trends began to improve in the back half of the quarter. Revenue declined slightly in Asia, where results were substantially impacted by weaker performance in our China wholesale and retail businesses. While Internet sales increased slightly in Japan, revenue for the region was down 9% overall due to weak retail same-store sales, lower at-once demand and continued weakness in the Yen."
"From a channel perspective," Rees continued, "global wholesale revenue climbed 8% and global Internet revenue rose 9%, with very strong Internet sales results in the Americas. We continue to work to improve performance in our global retail channel, where revenue rose about 1% in the quarter but same-store sales were down 4.5%. As a follow up to the reorganization efforts in the third quarter, we recently made several key changes to our global management team. Including the consolidation of global product development and merchandising under Michelle Poole, an industry veteran with over 14 years of footwear experience. The addition of Bob Munroe as GM of the Americas; Bob joins us with 30 years of footwear and apparel experience, including 11 years at Reebok where he was ultimately President of North America. And, the promotion of Scott Yuan to the position of General Manager of Greater China. We are excited to enrich our team as we focus on the future and potential growth opportunities of the Crocs brand."
Financial Review
Third quarter operating results
In the third quarter of 2014, GAAP operating income was $1.1 million versus $17.9 million in the comparable quarter in the prior year. GAAP net income was $15.8 million versus net income of $13.0 million in the comparable quarter in the prior year.
As outlined in the non-GAAP reconciliations set forth later in this press release, the company recorded $17.4 million in non-GAAP charges (of which $6.8 million were non-cash charges). This includes $4.1 million of expenses for the company's new ERP system in the quarter. The company also recorded $3.8 million of dividends and dividend equivalents on the preferred stock that was issued in the first quarter of 2014. Undistributed earnings related to preferred stock reduced net income for common shareholders by 14.0% (equal to the equity participation of the preferred investment). Excluding these items the company reported:
- Non-GAAP operating income of $18.5 million versus $21.0 million in the comparable prior year period.
"Factors driving our third quarter 2014 performance included strong revenue growth in Europe, particularly in the wholesale channel, and improvements in the Americas region, where wholesale channel performance also led the way," said Jeff Lasher, Crocs Chief Financial Officer. "These were offset by negative currency impacts in Europe and Japan and weak performance in Asia, where our China wholesale volume declined significantly and retail sales at comparable stores declined by double digits in China, Korea and Hong Kong. The quarter also was impacted by a reserve for doubtful accounts in excess of $5 million primarily as a result of delayed payments from partner-owned stores in China."
Balance Sheet
Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2014, amounted to $350.4 million. Inventory was $202.8 million and Accounts Receivable was $158.7 million.
Margins
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2014 was $155.0 million, or 51.3% as a percentage of sales, compared with $153.6 million, or 53.2% as a percentage of sales for the prior-year period.
Excluding special items, non-GAAP gross margins were 51.8% and Selling, General & Administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased 4.0% to $138.0 million compared with $132.6 million a year ago, as a result of the increase in doubtful account reserves. As a percentage of sales, SG&A decreased slightly to 45.6% compared with 46.0% in the third quarter of 2013.
Stock Repurchase
During the quarter the company repurchased approximately 2.9 million shares of common stock at an average price of $14.74 per share under its previously announced stock repurchase program. For the year to date, the company has repurchased approximately $90 million of common stock. The company intends to be patient, methodical and opportunistic in the execution of this buyback plan.
ERP System Implementation
The company's SAP rollout continues to go well, with successful rollouts completed in Australia and Japan, meeting expectations. The company expects full implementation to be complete during the first half of 2015.
Backlog
The company has determined that due to the timing of bookings for future orders, they will no longer be providing detailed backlog. Mr. Rees said: "In general, our pre-books for spring 2015 are in line with our expectations. The issues in China are partially offset by growth in Europe, and we will go over more detail in the conference call today."
Financial Outlook
The company expects GAAP revenue of approximately $200 to $210 million in the fourth quarter of 2014.
CEO Search
As previously announced, a search is underway for a new chief executive officer for the company. The company will make an announcement when the search is successfully concluded.

| RECONCILIATION 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 ("U.S. GAAP"), we present current period 'adjusted results', which are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted results of operations exclude the impact of items that management believes affect the comparability or underlying business trends in our condensed consolidated financial statements in the periods presented. | ||||
| Management uses adjusted results to assist in comparing business trends from period to period on a consistent basis without regard to the impact of non-GAAP adjustments in communications with the board of directors, stockholders, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance. We believe that these non-GAAP measures are used by, and are useful to, investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating operating performance by providing better comparability between reporting periods because they provide an additional tool to evaluate our performance without regard to non-GAAP adjustments that may not be indicative of overall business trends. They also provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our operations. We do not suggest that investors should consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. | ||||

| (1) Reflects quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year change as if the current period results were in "constant currency," which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Constant currency is a measure utilized by management in which current period results have been restated using 2013 average foreign exchange rates for the comparative period to enhance the visibility of the underlying business trends by excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We do not suggest that investors should consider this non-GAAP measure in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. | ||||||

| (1) Comparable store status is determined on a monthly basis. Comparable store sales begin in the thirteenth month of a store's operation. 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. Comparable store sales exclude the impact of our internet channel revenues and are calculated on a currency neutral basis using historical annual average currency rates. | ||
