Deckers Outdoor Corp (NYSE: DECK)
On Thursday February 1, 2018 Deckers Corporation, the mammoth outdoor footwear and apparel company widely known mainly for their UGG brand of shoes,sandals and boots, reported their fiscal third quarter earnings after the market closed for trading. Shares initially shot up and then formed a sideways base as the aftermarket session progressed.
Earning Numbers
The company reported revenues of $810 million dollars; this beat analyst’s forecasts handily. The average analyst estimate was for $750 million dollars. Earnings were $86 million dollars which equals $4.97 per share after adjustments for pre-tax expenses and restructuring fees.
Analyst’s had been expecting $3.84 per share. And, looking forward, the company stated that they expect revenues to come in between $370 and $375 million dollars in the next quarter which might pose a problem because analyst’s are currently projecting revenue’s at 379 million dollars.
Company Comments
Dave Powers, President and Chief Executive Officer had this to say in the conference call,
“Our third quarter results, which meaningfully exceeded expectations, underscore the progress we have made developing a stronger foundation to support profitable growth. Our refined product strategies, enhanced consumer messaging and wholesale account optimization efforts resulted in much stronger full price selling for our brand portfolio during the key holiday season. While more favorable weather also contributed to our year-over-year improvement, hard work by the entire organization enabled us to capitalize on additional upside opportunities. Looking ahead, I am confident that the successful execution of our profit improvement plan, combined with the recently passed tax reform, has Deckers in a great position to deliver increased value to our shareholders in the years ahead.”
