Crocs, Inc. Reports Record Annual Revenues of $3.6 Billion, Growing 54% Over 2021
Full Year Operating Income of $851M and Adjusted Operating Income of $986M
Full Year Diluted EPS of $8.71 and Adjusted EPS of $10.92
BROOMFIELD, Colo., Feb. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ: CROX) a world leader in innovative casual footwear for women, men, and children, today announced its fourth quarter and full year 2022 financial results.
"Consumer demand for the Crocs and HEYDUDE brands has been exceptional, fueling record 2022 revenues for both brands at a combined $3.6 billion and top-tier adjusted operating margin of 28%," said Andrew Rees, Chief Executive Officer. "We anticipate another record year in 2023 with growth expected to be led by sandals and international for the Crocs Brand and increased US market penetration for HEYDUDE."
"Crocs, Inc. has industry-leading operating margins and generates robust cash flow as a result of the simplicity of our product lines and the high penetration of molded product. Post the acquisition of HEYDUDE, we reduced outstanding debt by $550 million and gross leverage to 2.25 times," said Anne Mehlman, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "We remain confident in gross leverage being below 2.0 times by the middle of this year giving us greater flexibility with capital allocation."
Amounts referred to as "Adjusted" or "Non-GAAP" are Non-GAAP measures and include adjustments that are described under the heading "Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures." A reconciliation of these amounts to their GAAP counterparts are contained in the schedules below.
Fourth Quarter 2022 Operating Results
- Revenues were $945.2 million, an increase of 61.1% from the same period last year, or 64.8% on a constant currency basis. Direct-to-consumer ("DTC"), which includes retail and e-commerce, revenues grew 61.2% and wholesale revenues grew 61.1%.
- Gross margin of 52.5% declined 1,090 basis points and adjusted gross margin of 53.3% decreased 1,040 basis points compared to the same period last year. Approximately half of the decline in adjusted gross margin is related to the addition of the HEYDUDE Brand. Adjusted gross margin excludes $7.5 million of costs, primarily related to expansion costs and duplicate rent costs for our distribution centers.
- Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") of $276.3 million increased from $212.0 million in the same period last year and as a percent of revenues improved by 690 basis points to 29.2% primarily due to leverage of shared services across both brands. Adjusted SG&A improved by 780 basis points compared to prior year at 27.3% of revenues. Adjusted SG&A excludes $18.2 million of costs, primarily related to the shutdown of Russia direct operations and the HEYDUDE acquisition and integration.
- Income from operations increased 37.5% to $220.1 million and operating margin was 23.3% compared to 27.3% for the same period last year, due to lower gross margin and HEYDUDE integration expenses. Adjusted income from operations rose 46.3% to $245.8 million and adjusted operating margin was 26.0%.
- Diluted earnings per share were $2.20 as compared to $2.57 for the same period last year due to a lower tax benefit. Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 23.3% to $2.65 compared to $2.15 for the same period last year.
2022 Operating Results
- Record revenues of $3.6 billion increased 53.7%, or 58.2% on a constant currency basis, over 2021.
- Gross margin of 52.3% decreased 910 basis points compared to 61.4% last year. Adjusted gross margin of 54.4% fell 720 basis points from last year. Approximately half of the decline in adjusted gross margin is related to the addition of the HEYDUDE Brand. Adjusted gross margin excludes $74.8 million of costs, primarily related to the HEYDUDE acquisition and integration.
- SG&A expenses of $1.0 billion increased from $737.2 million last year and as a percent of revenues improved by 350 basis points to 28.4% primarily due to leverage of shared services across both brands. Adjusted SG&A improved to 26.7% of revenues versus 31.6% last year. Adjusted SG&A excludes $60.7 million of costs, primarily related to the HEYDUDE acquisition and integration as well as the shutdown of Russia direct operations.
- Income from operations increased 24.5% to $850.8 million from $683.1 million last year. Operating margin decreased 560 basis points to 23.9%. Adjusted income from operations increased 41.9% to $986.3 million and adjusted operating margin was 27.7% compared to 30.1% last year.
- Diluted earnings per share decreased 23.5% to $8.71 per share due to a lower tax benefit somewhat offset by higher net income. Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 31.3% to $10.92.
2022 Brand Summary
- Crocs Brand: Revenues increased 14.9%, or 19.4% on a constant currency basis, to $2,659.1 million. Wholesale revenues increased 17.3%, or 23.4% on a constant currency basis. DTC revenues rose 12.5%, or 15.3% on a constant currency basis.

CROCS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
RECONCILIATION OF GAAP MEASURES TO NON-GAAP MEASURES
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 cost of sales," "Non-GAAP gross profit," "Non-GAAP gross margin," "Non-GAAP gross margin by brand," "Non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses," "Non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues," "Non-GAAP income from operations," "Non-GAAP income from operations by brand," "Non-GAAP operating margin," "Non-GAAP operating margin by brand," "Non-GAAP income before income taxes," "Non-GAAP income tax expense (benefit)," "Non-GAAP effective tax rate," "Non-GAAP net income," "Non-GAAP weighted average common shares outstanding - basic and diluted," and "Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per common share," which are non-GAAP financial measures. We also present future period guidance for "Non-GAAP operating margin," "Non-GAAP effective tax rate," and "Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share." Non-GAAP results and guidance exclude the impact of items that management believes affect the comparability or underlying business trends in our consolidated financial statements for 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 retranslated using exchange rates used in the prior year comparative period. We believe the use of constant currency enhances the visibility of the underlying business trends excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
We use non-GAAP results to assist in comparing business trends from period to period on a consistent 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 and trends. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, we believe it is helpful to evaluate our results excluding the impacts of various adjustments relating to special or nonrecurring items. Investors should not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
