Refer to the section titled “Reportable Operating Segments,” below within this Note 1, “General,” for more information on the sale of the Sanuk brand during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
The Company sells its products through quality domestic and international retailers, international distributors, and directly to its global consumers through its DTC business, which is comprised of its e-commerce business and retail stores. Independent third-party contractors manufacture all of the Company’s products.
Seasonality. A significant part of the UGG brand’s business has historically been seasonal, requiring the Company to build inventory levels during certain quarters in its fiscal year to support higher selling seasons, which has contributed to variation in its results from quarter to quarter. However, as the Company continues to take steps to diversify and expand its product offerings by creating more year-round styles, and as net sales of the HOKA brand, which generally occur more evenly throughout the year, continue to increase as a percentage of the Company’s aggregate net sales, the Company expects to continue to see the impact from seasonality decrease over time.
Basis of Presentation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto (referred to herein as condensed consolidated financial statements) as of September 30, 2024, and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 (current period), and 2023 (prior period) are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the US (US GAAP) for interim financial information pursuant to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X issued by the SEC. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required by US GAAP for annual financial statements and accompanying notes thereto. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024, is derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring entries necessary to fairly present the results of the interim periods presented but are not necessarily indicative of actual results to be achieved for full fiscal years or other interim periods. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 (prior fiscal year), which was filed with the SEC on May 24, 2024 (2024 Annual Report).
Forward Stock Split and Authorized Share Increase. On September 13, 2024, the Company (i) effected a six-for-one forward stock split of its common stock and preferred stock (the stock split), and (ii) increased the number of authorized shares of its common stock from 125,000,000 to 750,000,000, and the number of authorized shares of its capital stock from 130,000,000 to 755,000,000 (the authorized share increase). The stock split and the authorized share increase were effected through the filing of an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (Charter Amendment) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 9, 2024 (Annual Meeting). The Charter Amendment did not provide for any increase in the number of authorized shares of preferred stock, which remains at 5,000,000 shares. There are no shares of preferred stock outstanding as of September 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024. As a result of the stock split, every one share of common stock outstanding on September 6, 2024, the record date for the stock split, was automatically split into six shares of common stock. The common stock commenced trading on a post-stock split adjusted basis on September 17, 2024.

For the Three and Six Months Ended September 30, 2024, and 2023
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share or share data)
All prior period results included in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes within this Quarterly Report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effectiveness of the stock split and the authorized share increase. Specifically, all share and per share amounts have been adjusted, including: (i) the number of shares authorized and outstanding on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, (ii) the weighted-average common shares outstanding and the associated earnings per share amounts in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, as well as the weighted average common shares outstanding disaggregated in Note 9, “Basic and Diluted Shares,” (iii) the number of shares underlying stock awards and the weighted-average grant date fair value of annual stock awards in Note 6, “Stock-Based Compensation,” and (iv) the total number of shares repurchased and the weighted average price per share paid in Note 8, “Stockholders’ Equity.” Further, as there was no change to par value, an amount equal to the par value of the increased shares resulting from the stock split for shares issued was reclassified to common stock from additional paid-in capital, and for share repurchases was reclassified to retained earnings from common stock, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.
Consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Management bases these estimates and assumptions upon historical experience, existing and known circumstances, authoritative accounting pronouncements and other factors that management believes to be reasonable. In addition, the Company has considered the potential impact of macroeconomic factors, including inflation, foreign currency exchange rate volatility, changes in interest rates, changes in commodity pricing, changes in discretionary spending, and recessionary concerns, on its business and operations. Although the full impact of these factors is unknown, the Company believes it has made appropriate accounting estimates and assumptions based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. However, actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions, which may result in material effects on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity. To the extent there are differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements may be materially affected.
Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to inventory write-downs; trade accounts receivable allowances, including variable consideration for net sales provided to customers, such as the sales return asset and liability; contract assets and liabilities; stock-based compensation; impairment assessments, including goodwill, other intangible assets, and long-lived assets; depreciation and amortization; income tax receivables and liabilities; uncertain tax positions; the fair value of financial instruments; the reasonably certain lease term; lease classification; and the Company’s incremental borrowing rate utilized to measure its operating lease assets and lease liabilities.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Company considers the US dollar as its functional currency. The Company’s wholly owned foreign subsidiaries have various assets and liabilities, primarily cash, receivables, and payables, which are denominated in currencies other than its functional currency. The Company remeasures these monetary assets and liabilities using the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period, which results in gains and losses that are recorded in selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income as incurred. In addition, the Company translates assets and liabilities of subsidiaries with reporting currencies other than US dollars into US dollars using the exchange rates at the end of the reporting period, which results in financial statement translation gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income or loss (OCI) in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Reportable Operating Segments. As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s five reportable operating segments include the worldwide wholesale operations of the UGG brand, HOKA brand, Teva brand, and Other brands (primarily consisting of the Koolaburra brand, as well as the recently launched AHNU brand), as well as DTC (collectively, the Company’s reportable operating segments).

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which the buyer agreed to purchase the Sanuk brand and certain related assets which was completed on August 15, 2024 (Sanuk Brand Sale Date). The Company determined that the divestiture of the Sanuk brand did not represent a strategic shift that had or will have a major effect on the condensed consolidated results of operations, and therefore results of this business were not classified as discontinued operations. The Company’s financial results for its reportable operating segments present the former Sanuk brand through the Sanuk Brand Sale Date for the current period. Refer to Note 10, “Reportable Operating Segments,” for further information on the Company’s reportable operating segments.

The fair value of Designated Derivative Contracts and Non-Designated Derivative Contracts is determined using quoted forward spot rates at the end of the applicable reporting period from counterparties, which are corroborated by market-based pricing (Level 2), with related assets and liabilities recorded in other current assets and other accrued expenses, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 7, “Derivative Instruments,” for further information, including the definition of the term Designated Derivative Contracts and Non-Designated Derivative Contracts.
NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense and the effective income tax rate were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended September 30, | | Six Months Ended September 30, |
| 2024 | | 2023 | | 2024 | | 2023 |
Income tax expense | $ | 76,591 | | | $ | 55,770 | | | $ | 110,119 | | | $ | 73,582 | |
Effective income tax rate | 24.0 | % | | 23.8 | % | | 23.5 | % | | 23.3 | % |
The tax provisions during the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, were computed using the estimated effective income tax rate applicable to each of the domestic and foreign taxable jurisdictions for the fiscal years ending March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, respectively, and were adjusted for discrete items that occurred within the periods presented above. During the current period, the net increase in the effective income tax rate, compared to the prior period, was primarily due to the effects of discrete items, including a change in valuation allowance on tax attributes and a change in return-to-provision differences, partially offset by net discrete tax benefits for stock-based compensation.
Recent Tax Law Changes. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (commonly known as OECD) has released Pillar Two model rules introducing a 15% global minimum tax rate for large multinational corporations to be effective starting with tax periods ending in 2024. Various jurisdictions the Company operates in have enacted or plan to enact legislation beginning in calendar year 2024 or in subsequent years. The enactment of Pillar Two legislation did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income during the current period. The Company will continue to monitor and reflect the impact of such legislative changes in future periods, as each of the respective jurisdictions enact the legislation and the legislation becomes effective.
NOTE 5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Leases. The Company primarily leases retail stores, showrooms, offices, and distribution facilities under operating lease contracts. There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business during the six months ended September 30, 2024, to the operating lease terms disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report.
Supplemental information for amounts presented in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows related to operating leases, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended September 30, | | Six Months Ended September 30, |

Operating lease liabilities recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets exclude an aggregate of $15,734 of undiscounted minimum lease payments due pursuant to leases signed but not yet commenced during the six months ended September 30, 2024, and through October 11, 2024, primarily for a new HOKA brand retail store lease in Paris that the Company expects will be operational during the quarter ending December 31, 2024.
Purchase Obligations. There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business during the six months ended September 30, 2024, to purchase obligations disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report.
Litigation. From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings, disputes, and other claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including employment, intellectual property, and product liability claims. Although the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes it is not currently a party to any legal proceedings, disputes, or other claims for which a material loss is considered probable and for which the amount (or range) of loss is reasonably estimable. However, regardless of the merit of the claims raised or the outcome, these matters can have an adverse impact on the Company as a result of legal costs, diversion of management’s time and resources, and other factors.
Refer to Note 7, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in Part IV of the 2024 Annual Report for further information on the Company’s contractual obligations and commitments.
NOTE 6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock Incentive Plans. In September 2015, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (2015 SIP), which initially reserved 7,650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance to employees, directors, consultants, independent contractors, and advisors. The 2015 SIP provided for the issuance of a variety of stock-based compensation awards, including time-based restricted stock units (RSUs), performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs), long-term incentive plan PSUs (LTIP PSUs), stock appreciation rights, stock bonuses, incentive stock options (ISOs), and non-qualified stock options (NQSOs). Refer to Note 8, “Stock-Based Compensation,” in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in Part IV of the 2024 Annual Report for additional information about the terms of the 2015 SIP.
In September 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2024 Stock Incentive Plan (2024 SIP), which is intended to replace the 2015 SIP. Consistent with the 2015 SIP, the primary purpose of the 2024 SIP is to encourage ownership in the Company by key personnel, whose long-term service is considered essential to the Company’s continued success. As a result of the stock split, the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2024 SIP and the number of shares underlying outstanding equity awards and the exercise price of stock options were adjusted proportionately.
The 2024 SIP initially reserves 7,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance to employees, directors, consultants, and independent contractors, less one share for every one share granted under the 2015 SIP after March 31, 2024 and prior to September 9, 2024, the effective date of the 2024 SIP, subject to an increase from the return of shares under the 2015 SIP as described below. The terms of the 2024 SIP are substantially similar to the terms of the 2015 SIP. The 2024 SIP provides for the issuance of a variety of stock-based compensation awards, including RSUs, PSUs, LTIP PSUs, stock appreciation rights, stock bonuses, ISOs, and NQSOs. The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued to employees under the 2024 SIP through the exercise of ISOs is 4,500,000.

The Company will not grant any further equity awards under the 2015 SIP. Outstanding awards under the 2015 SIP will remain outstanding, unchanged and subject to the terms of the 2015 SIP and their respective award agreements. Shares subject to awards that are forfeited, expire or are otherwise terminated without shares being issued, or shares withheld to pay the exercise price of an award or to satisfy tax withholding obligations, including shares subject to awards granted under the 2015 SIP that are outstanding after March 31, 2024, will be returned to the pool of shares available for grant and issuance under the 2024 SIP. As of September 30, 2024, 7,822,608 shares of common stock remained available for future issuance under the 2024 SIP, subject to adjustment for future stock splits, stock dividends, and similar changes in capitalization.
Annual Stock Awards. The Company granted the following awards under the 2015 SIP during the periods presented:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Six Months Ended September 30, |
| | 2024 | | 2023 |
Award Type | | Number of Shares | | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value | | Number of Shares | | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value |

| | | | | | | | |
(1) The amounts granted are at the target performance level under the terms of the applicable LTIP PSUs.
During the six months ended September 30, 2024, with the exception of the RSU and LTIP PSU awards summarized above, no additional material awards were granted under the 2015 SIP.
For the LTIP PSUs granted during fiscal years ending March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company expects to exceed the minimum threshold target performance criteria based on the Company’s current long-range forecast as of September 30, 2024. Refer to Note 8, “Stock-Based Compensation,” in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in Part IV of the 2024 Annual Report for further information on the Company’s prior grants, including terms of each grant under the 2015 SIP.
There were no awards granted under the 2024 SIP during the six months ended September 30, 2024.
Employee Stock Purchase Plans. In September 2015, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (2015 ESPP), which authorized 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for sale to eligible employees using after-tax payroll deductions. Following the issuance of shares under the 2015 ESPP to employees who are participating in the offering period ending February 28, 2025, the 2015 ESPP will be terminated, and no new offering periods under the 2015 ESPP will commence thereafter. Refer to Note 8, “Stock-Based Compensation,” in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in Part IV of the 2024 Annual Report for additional information related to the terms of the 2015 ESPP.
In September 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2024 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (2024 ESPP), which is intended to replace the 2015 ESPP. The 2024 ESPP reserves 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for sale to eligible employees. The terms of the 2024 ESPP are substantially similar to the terms of the 2015 ESPP. Each offering period under the 2024 ESPP is anticipated to run for approximately six months with purchases occurring on the last day of each offering period at a 15% discount to the closing price on that date. The first offering period is expected to commence on March 1, 2025.

NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company enters into foreign currency forward or option contracts (derivative contracts) with maturities of 15 months or less to manage foreign currency risk and certain of these derivative contracts are designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted sales (Designated Derivative Contracts).
The after-tax unrealized gains or losses from changes in fair value of Designated Derivative Contracts are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are reclassified to net sales in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income in the same period or periods as the related sales are recognized. When it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting and the accumulated gains or losses in AOCL related to the hedging relationship are immediately recorded in OCI in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Refer to Note 1, “General,” in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in Part IV of the 2024 Annual Report for further information regarding the Company’s derivative instruments accounting policy.
The Company also enters into derivative contracts that are not designated as cash flow hedges (Non-Designated Derivative Contracts), to offset a portion of the anticipated gains and losses on certain intercompany balances until the expected time of repayment. Changes in the fair value of Non-Designated Derivative Contracts are recorded in SG&A expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The changes in fair value for these contracts are generally offset by the remeasurement gains or losses associated with the underlying foreign currency-denominated intercompany balances, which are recorded in SG&A expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company has the following derivative contracts recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Designated Derivative Contracts | | Non-Designated Derivative Contracts | | Total |
Notional value | $ | 191,009 | | | $ | 11,144 | | | $ | 202,153 | |
Fair value recorded in other current assets | 103 | | | 45 | | | 148 | |
Fair value recorded in other accrued expenses | (4,688) | | | — | | | (4,688) | |
As of September 30, 2024, four counterparties hold the Company’s outstanding derivative contracts, all of which are expected to mature in the next six months. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had no outstanding derivative contracts.

As of September 30, 2024, the amount of unrealized gains on derivative contracts recorded in AOCL is expected to be reclassified into net sales within the next six months. Refer to Note 8, “Stockholders’ Equity,” for further information on the components of AOCL.

| | | | | | | |
Excluded Awards. The equity awards excluded from the calculation of the dilutive effect have been excluded due to one of the following: (1) the shares were antidilutive; (2) the necessary conditions had not been satisfied for the shares to be deemed issuable based on the Company’s performance for the relevant performance period; or (3) the Company recorded a net loss during the period presented (such that inclusion of these equity awards in the calculation would have been antidilutive). The number of shares stated for each of these excluded awards is the maximum number of shares issuable pursuant to these awards. For those awards subject to the achievement of performance criteria, the actual number of shares to be issued pursuant to such awards will be based on Company performance in future periods, net of forfeitures, and may be materially lower than the number of shares presented, which could result in a lower dilutive effect. Refer to Note 6, “Stock-Based Compensation,” within this Quarterly Report and to Note 8, “Stock-Based Compensation,” in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in Part IV of the 2024 Annual Report for further information on the Company’s equity incentive plans.
NOTE 10. REPORTABLE OPERATING SEGMENTS
Information reported to the CODM, who is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), President, and Principal Executive Officer (PEO), is organized into the Company’s five reportable operating segments and is consistent with how the CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources. The CODM reviews such operations in the aggregate with the reportable operating segments.
Segment Net Sales and Income from Operations. The Company evaluates reportable operating segment performance primarily based on net sales and income (loss) from operations. The wholesale operations of each brand are managed separately because each requires different marketing, research and development, design, sourcing, and sales strategies. The income (loss) from operations of each of the reportable operating segments includes only those costs which are specifically related to each reportable operating segment, which consist primarily of cost of sales, research and development, design, sales and marketing, depreciation, amortization, and the direct costs of employees within those reportable operating segments.
The Company does not allocate corporate overhead costs or non-operating income and expenses to reportable operating segments, which include unallocable overhead costs associated with the Company’s warehouses and DCs, certain executive and stock-based compensation, accounting, finance, legal, IT, human resources, and facilities, among others. Inter-segment sales from the Company’s wholesale reportable operating segments to the DTC reportable operating segment are at the Company’s cost, and there is no inter-segment profit on these inter-segment sales, nor are they reflected in income (loss) from operations of the wholesale reportable operating segments as these transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
We disclose financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with US GAAP; however, throughout this Quarterly Report we provide certain financial information on a non-GAAP basis (non-GAAP financial measures). We provide non-GAAP financial measures to provide information that may assist investors in understanding our results of operations and assessing our prospects for future performance, which consist of constant currency measures. We believe evaluating certain financial and operating measures on a constant currency basis is important as it excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations that are not indicative of our core results of operations and are largely outside of our control. However, our non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to represent and should not be considered more meaningful measures than, or alternatives to, measures of financial or operating performance as determined in accordance with US GAAP.
We calculate our constant currency non-GAAP financial measures for current period financial information, such as total net sales using the foreign currency exchange rates that were in effect during the previous comparable period, excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate hedges and remeasurements in the condensed consolidated financial statements. We also report comparable DTC sales on a constant currency basis for DTC operations that were open throughout the current and prior reporting periods, and we may adjust prior reporting periods to conform to current year accounting policies. The information presented on a constant currency basis, as we present such information, may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled information presented by other companies, and may not be appropriate measures for comparing our performance relative to other companies. Constant currency measures should not be considered in isolation as an alternative to US dollar measures that reflect current period foreign currency exchange rates or to other financial or operating measures presented in accordance with US GAAP.

Refer to the section titled “Reportable Operating Segments,” in Note 1, “General,” of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 within this Quarterly Report for further information.
Total net sales increased primarily due to higher global net sales across all channels for the HOKA and UGG brands. On a constant currency basis, net sales increased by 20.4%, compared to the prior period. Further, we experienced an increase of 19.0% in the total volume of units sold to 21,300 from 17,900, compared to the prior period. Units sold represents all units related to the total net sales presented, inclusive of all categories such as footwear, apparel, accessories, home goods, and care kits. The prior period total volume of units sold for only footwear has been modified to conform to the current period presentation.
Drivers of significant changes in net sales, compared to the prior period, were as follows:
•Wholesale net sales of the HOKA brand increased primarily due to higher global net sales across the brand’s product assortment, driven by market share gains and benefits from select new points of distribution with key partners globally, as well as the timing of certain distributor shipments.
•DTC net sales increased primarily due to higher global sales for the HOKA and UGG brands, driven primarily by consumer acquisition and retention online as we continued to experience increased demand for both brands, especially among international regions. Comparable DTC channel net sales for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2024, increased by 17.0%, compared to the prior period.
•Wholesale net sales of the UGG brand increased primarily due to higher global net sales as a result of increased demand for year-round key product franchises, also benefiting from timing of sell-in for fall and winter franchises.
•International net sales, which are included in the reportable operating segment net sales presented above, increased by 33.0% and represented 34.9% and 31.5% of total net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. These changes were primarily driven by higher global net sales across all channels for the HOKA and UGG brands.
Gross Profit. Gross margin increased to 55.9% from 53.4%, compared to the prior period, primarily due to favorable brand and product mix for the HOKA brand along with higher margin product driving a higher proportion of growth for both the HOKA and UGG brands, and reduced closeouts to the wholesale channel. These benefits were partially offset by unfavorable freight costs due to rising ocean freight costs, and slightly unfavorable channel mix shifts.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. The net increase in SG&A expenses, compared to the prior period, was primarily the result of the following:
•Increased variable advertising and promotion expenses of approximately $32,000, primarily due to higher promotional marketing expenses for the HOKA and UGG brands to drive global brand awareness and market share gains, highlight new product categories, and provide localized marketing.
•Increased other operating expenses of approximately $25,600, primarily due to higher contract expenses, legal expenses, and infrastructure investments and related depreciation.
•Increased payroll and related costs of approximately $20,300, primarily due to investments in talent for key functions for corporate and HOKA brand roles driving higher employee headcount and full-year costs for prior comparable period hiring.
•Increased other variable net selling expenses of approximately $11,300, primarily due to higher warehouse expenses, sales commissions and related fees, and credit card fees, as well as higher rent and occupancy costs related to HOKA brand growth.
•Increased net foreign currency-related gains of approximately $19,500, primarily driven by favorable changes in Asian and European exchange rates against the US dollar.

Refer to the section titled “Reportable Operating Segments,” in Note 1, “General,” of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 within this Quarterly Report for further information.
The increase in total income from operations, compared to the prior period, was primarily due to higher net sales at higher gross margins, combined with slightly lower SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales.
Drivers of significant net changes in total income from operations, compared to the prior period, were as follows:
•The increase in income from operations of HOKA brand wholesale was due to higher global net sales at higher gross margins, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales.
•The increase in income from operations of the DTC channel was due to higher global net sales for the HOKA and UGG brands at higher gross margins, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales.
•The increase in income from operations of UGG brand wholesale was due to higher global net sales at higher gross margins, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales.
•Unallocated overhead costs were a lower percentage of net sales, but increased primarily due to higher other operating expenses and payroll costs for key corporate roles to support growth of our brands, partially offset by increased foreign currency-related gains.
Total Other Income, Net. The increase in total other income, net, compared to the prior period, was due to higher interest income from higher invested cash balances.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense and our effective income tax rate were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended September 30, |
| 2024 | | 2023 |
Income tax expense | $ | 76,591 | | | $ | 55,770 | |
Effective income tax rate | 24.0 | % | | 23.8 | % |
The net increase in our effective income tax rate, compared to the prior period, was primarily due to the effects of discrete items, including a change in valuation allowance on tax attributes and a change in return-to-provision differences, partially offset by net discrete tax benefits for stock-based compensation.
Net Income. The increase in net income, compared to the prior period, was due to higher net sales and operating margins, as well as higher interest income. Net income per share increased, compared to the prior period, due to higher net income and lower weighted-average common shares outstanding driven by stock repurchases.
Total Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), Net of Tax. The increase in total other comprehensive income, net of tax, compared to the prior period, was primarily due to higher foreign currency translation gains relating to changes in the net asset position against Asian and European foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by higher unrealized losses on cash flow hedges.

Refer to the section titled “Reportable Operating Segments,” in Note 1, “General,” of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 within this Quarterly Report for further information.
Total net sales increased primarily due to higher global net sales across all channels for the HOKA and UGG brands. On a constant currency basis, net sales increased by 21.4%, compared to the prior period. Further, we experienced an increase of 16.8% in the total volume of units sold to 34,000 from 29,100, compared to the prior period. Units sold represents all units related to the total net sales presented, inclusive of all categories such as footwear, apparel, accessories, home goods, and care kits. The prior period total volume of units sold for only footwear has been modified to conform to the current period presentation.
Drivers of significant changes in net sales, compared to the prior period, were as follows:
•Wholesale net sales of the HOKA brand increased primarily due to higher global sales across the brand’s product assortment, driven by market share gains, refilling channel inventory, and benefits from select new points of distribution with key partners, as well as the timing of certain distributor shipments.
•DTC net sales increased primarily due to higher global sales for the HOKA and UGG brands, driven primarily by consumer acquisition and retention online as we continued to experience increased demand for both brands, as well as a slight benefit from higher levels of full-price selling. Comparable DTC channel net sales for the 26 weeks ended September 29, 2024, increased by 19.3%, compared to the prior period.
•Wholesale net sales of the UGG brand increased primarily due to higher global sales as a result of increased demand for year-round key product franchises, also benefiting from timing of sell-in for fall and winter franchises.
•International net sales, which are included in the reportable operating segment net sales presented above, increased by 27.8% and represented 35.9% and 33.9% of total net sales for the six months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. These changes were primarily driven by higher global net sales for both channels for the HOKA and UGG brands.
Gross Profit. Gross margin increased to 56.3% from 52.6%, compared to the prior period, primarily due to favorable brand and product mix for the HOKA brand along with higher margin product driving a higher proportion of growth for both the HOKA and UGG brands and higher full-price selling, including reduced closeouts to the wholesale channel.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. The net increase in SG&A expenses, compared to the prior period, was primarily the result of the following:
•Increased variable advertising and promotion expenses of approximately $47,800, primarily due to higher promotional marketing expenses for the HOKA and UGG brands to drive global brand awareness and market share gains, highlight new product categories, and provide localized marketing.
•Increased payroll and related costs of approximately $45,200, primarily due to investments in talent for key functions for corporate and HOKA brand roles driving higher employee headcount and full-year costs for prior comparable period hiring.
•Increased other operating expenses of approximately $33,200, primarily due to higher infrastructure investments and related depreciation, contract expenses, and travel expenses.
•Increased other variable net selling expenses of approximately $20,100, primarily due to higher rent and occupancy costs related to HOKA brand growth, higher warehouse expenses and credit card fees, as well as higher selling expenses, including sales commissions and related fees, and materials and supplies.
•Increased net foreign currency-related gains of approximately $15,100, primarily driven by favorable changes in Asian and European exchange rates against the US dollar.

(1) Represents financial results from April 1, 2024 through the Sanuk Brand Sale Date for the six months ended September 30, 2024. Refer to the section titled “Reportable Operating Segments,” in Note 1, “General,” of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 within this Quarterly Report for further information.
The increase in total income from operations, compared to the prior period, was primarily due to higher net sales at higher gross margins, combined with slightly lower SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales.
Drivers of significant net changes in total income from operations, compared to the prior period, were as follows:
•The increase in income from operations of the DTC channel was due to higher global net sales for the HOKA and UGG brands at higher gross margins, partially offset by a slightly higher rate of SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales.
•The increase in income from operations of HOKA brand wholesale was due to higher global net sales at higher gross margins, combined with relatively flat SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales.
•The increase in income from operations of UGG brand wholesale was primarily due to higher global net sales at higher gross margins, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales.
•Unallocated overhead costs were lower as a percentage of net sales, but increased primarily due to higher payroll costs for key corporate roles to support growth of our brands, and higher other operating expenses, partially offset by increased foreign currency-related gains.
Total Other Income, Net. The increase in total other income, net, compared to the prior period, was due to higher interest income from higher invested cash balances and average interest rates.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense and our effective income tax rate were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Six Months Ended September 30, |
| 2024 | | 2023 |
Income tax expense | $ | 110,119 | | | $ | 73,582 | |
Effective income tax rate | 23.5 | % | | 23.3 | % |
The net increase in our effective income tax rate, compared to the prior period, was primarily due to the effects of discrete items, including a change in valuation allowance on tax attributes and a change in return-to-provision differences, partially offset by net discrete tax benefits for stock-based compensation.
Net Income. The increase in net income, compared to the prior period, was primarily due to higher net sales and operating margins, as well as higher interest income. Net income per share increased, compared to the prior period, due to higher net income and lower weighted-average common shares outstanding driven by stock repurchases.
Total Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), Net of Tax. The increase in total other comprehensive income, net of tax, compared to the prior period, was primarily due to higher foreign currency translation gains relating to changes in the net asset position against Asian and European foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by higher unrealized losses on cash flow hedges.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our liquidity may be impacted by a number of factors, risks and uncertainties described in the section titled “Liquidity” in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as well as in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our 2024 Annual Report.
Sources of Liquidity. We finance our working capital and operating requirements using a combination of cash and cash equivalents balances, including cash from our repatriation strategy, cash provided from ongoing operating activities and, to a lesser extent, available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities. Refer to the “Cash Flows” section below for further discussion on cash flows from ongoing operating activities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. As of September 30, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents are $1,225,681, the majority of which is held in highly rated money market funds and interest-bearing bank deposit accounts with established national and global financial institutions. We believe our cash and cash equivalents balances, cash provided by operating activities, and available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities, will provide sufficient liquidity to enable us to meet our working capital requirements and contractual obligations for at least the next 12 months and will be sufficient to meet the long-term requirements of our business strategies and plans. However, there can be no assurance that sufficient capital will continue to be available or that it will be available on terms acceptable to us.
Repatriation of Cash. Our cash repatriation strategy, and by extension, our liquidity, may be impacted by several additional considerations, which include future changes to or interpretations of global tax laws and regulations, and our actual earnings in future periods. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, no cash and cash equivalents were repatriated. As of September 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024, we have $273,887 and $263,820, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries, a portion of which may be subject to additional foreign withholding taxes if it were to be repatriated. We continue to evaluate our cash repatriation strategy and currently anticipate repatriating current and future unremitted earnings of non-US subsidiaries to the extent they have been subject to US income tax if such cash is not required to fund ongoing foreign operations. Refer to Note 5, “Income Taxes,” of our consolidated financial statements in Part IV of our 2024 Annual Report for further information regarding our cash repatriation strategy.
Revolving Credit Facilities. Information about the revolving credit facilities available as of September 30, 2024, is as follows:
•Primary Credit Facility. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, we made no borrowings or repayments and there were no material changes to the terms, to the outstanding letters of credit, or to the borrowing availability under our unsecured revolving credit facility disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report.
•China Credit Facility. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, we made no borrowings or repayments and there were no material changes to the terms or to the outstanding bank guarantees under our credit facility in China disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report.
•Debt Covenants. As of September 30, 2024, we are in compliance with all financial covenants under our revolving credit facilities.
Refer to Note 6, “Revolving Credit Facilities,” of our consolidated financial statements in Part IV of our 2024 Annual Report for further information on the terms of our revolving credit facilities.
Material Cash Requirements. Our material cash requirements include uses for working capital, and payments to fulfill contractual obligations, capital expenditures, and stock repurchases. Our working capital requirements begin when we purchase raw and other materials and inventories and continue until we ultimately collect the resulting trade accounts receivable. Given the historical seasonality of our business, our working capital requirements fluctuate significantly throughout our fiscal year, and we utilize available cash to build inventory levels during certain quarters in our fiscal year to support higher selling seasons. While the impact of seasonality has been mitigated to some extent, we expect our working capital requirements will continue to fluctuate from period to period.
Contractual Obligations. Refer to the section titled “Leases” under Note 5, “Commitments and Contingencies,” of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 within this Quarterly Report for further information regarding our material contractual obligations incurred during the six months ended September 30, 2024, and through October 11, 2024.
Except for the above, there were no other material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the contractual obligations or capital expenditures disclosed in the sections titled “Contractual Obligations” and “Capital Expenditures” in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of our 2024 Annual Report.
Stock Repurchase Program. As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate remaining approved amount under our stock repurchase program is $685,413. Our stock repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any amount of common stock and may be suspended at any time at our discretion.
Refer to Note 8, “Stockholders’ Equity,” of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 and to Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds,” within this Quarterly Report for further information regarding our stock repurchase program and capital allocation strategy.
CASH FLOWS
The following table summarizes the major components of our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Six Months Ended September 30, |
| 2024 | | 2023 | | Change |
| Amount | | Amount | | Amount | | % |
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 22,100 | | | $ | 121,528 | | | $ | (99,428) | | | (81.8) | % |
Net cash used in investing activities | (34,442) | | | (57,402) | | | 22,960 | | | 40.0 | |
Net cash used in financing activities | (267,014) | | | (217,149) | | | (49,865) | | | (23.0) | |
Effect of foreign currency exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents | 2,986 | | | (5,721) | | | 8,707 | | | 152.2 | |
Net change in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (276,370) | | | $ | (158,744) | | | $ | (117,626) | | | (74.1) | % |
Operating Activities. Our primary source of liquidity is net cash provided by operating activities, which is driven by our net income after non-cash adjustments and changes in working capital.
The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the prior period, was due to $233,409 of unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities partially offset by $133,981 of favorable net income after non-cash adjustments. Changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily due to (1) higher purchases of inventory to support higher demand for our brands, (2) lower net trade accounts payable related to timing of receipts of goods and services and respective disbursements, (3) higher trade accounts receivable on higher net sales, (4) lower accrued expenses primarily for the payment of performance-based compensation; and (5) favorable changes due to timing of derivative cash settlements.
Investing Activities. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the prior period, was primarily due to lower capital expenditures for leasehold improvements for our warehouses and DCs, and by an increase from cash proceeds from the sale of certain assets.
Financing Activities. The increase in net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the prior period, was primarily due to a higher dollar value of stock repurchases.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Management bases these estimates and assumptions upon historical experience, existing and known circumstances, authoritative accounting pronouncements, and other factors that we believe to be reasonable, but actual results could differ materially from these estimates. In addition, management has considered the potential impact of macroeconomic factors, including inflation, foreign currency exchange rate volatility, changes in interest rates, changes in commodity pricing, changes in consumer discretionary spending, and recessionary concerns, on our business and operations. Although the full impact of these factors is unknown, management believes it has made appropriate accounting estimates and assumptions based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. However, actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions, which may result in material effects on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. Refer to the sections titled “Use of Estimates” and “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” within Note 1, “General,” of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 within this Quarterly Report, for additional information regarding applicable key estimates and assumptions, as well as the impact of recent accounting pronouncements.
There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and key estimates and assumptions disclosed in the section titled “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” within our 2024 Annual Report.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
In the normal course of business, our financial position and results of operations are subject to a variety of risks, including risks associated with commodity pricing, foreign currency exchange rates and, to a lesser extent, interest rates. We regularly assess these risks and have established policies and business practices designed to mitigate their effects. There have been no material changes in the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk disclosed in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” within our 2024 Annual Report.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, which are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours is designed to do, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, the design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024. Based on that evaluation, our PEO and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer (PFAO) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2024.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the three months ended September 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL AND ACCOUNTING OFFICER CERTIFICATIONS
The certifications of our PEO and PFAO required by Rule 13a-14(a) of the Exchange Act are filed as Exhibit 31.1 and Exhibit 31.2, and furnished as Exhibit 32, to this Quarterly Report. This Part I, Item 4, should be read in conjunction with such certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As part of our global policing program to protect our intellectual property rights, from time to time, we file lawsuits in various jurisdictions asserting claims for alleged acts of trademark counterfeiting, trademark infringement, patent infringement, trade dress infringement, and trademark dilution. We generally have multiple actions such as these pending at any given point in time. These actions may result in seizure of counterfeit merchandise, out-of-court settlements with defendants, or other outcomes. In addition, from time to time, we are subject to claims in which opposing parties will raise, either as affirmative defenses or as counterclaims, the invalidity or unenforceability of certain of our intellectual property rights, including allegations that the UGG brand trademark registrations and design patents are invalid or unenforceable. Furthermore, we are aware of many instances throughout the world in which a third-party is using our UGG brand and HOKA brand trademarks within its internet domain name. We are investigating several manufacturers and distributors of counterfeit UGG and HOKA brand products, as well as various markets for indications of counterfeit UGG and HOKA brand products.
From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings, disputes, and other claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including employment, intellectual property, and product liability claims. Although the results of these ordinary course matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we currently believe that the final outcome of these ordinary course matters will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. However, regardless of the merit of the claims raised or the outcome, these ordinary course matters can have an adverse impact on us as a result of legal costs, diversion of management’s time and resources, and other factors.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves risks. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider all the information within Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as well as in our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes contained in Part I, Item 1 within this Quarterly Report. In addition, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our 2024 Annual Report, as well as in our other public filings with the SEC. If any of the identified risks are realized, our business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock may decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. In addition, other risks of which we are currently unaware, or which we do not currently view to be material, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, and prospects.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, there were no material changes to the risks and uncertainties described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our 2024 Annual Report.

Our Board of Directors (Board) has approved various authorizations under our stock repurchase program to repurchase shares of our common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other factors (collectively, the stock repurchase program). Our Board last approved an additional authorization of $1,200,000 on July 27, 2022, to repurchase our common stock under the same conditions as the prior stock repurchase programs. As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate remaining approved amount under the stock repurchase program is $685,413.
Our stock repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any amount of common stock and may be suspended at any time at our discretion. The agreements under our revolving credit facilities allow us to make stock repurchases under this program, so long as we do not exceed certain leverage ratios. As of September 30, 2024, we have not exceeded the stated leverage ratios, and no defaults have occurred under our credit agreements.

Total | | 685,944 | | | 152.09 | | | $ | 104,323 | | | 685,413 | |
(1) All share repurchases were made pursuant to our stock repurchase program in open-market transactions.
(2) The dollar value of shares repurchased excludes the cost of broker commissions, excise taxes, and other costs.
(3) May not calculate on rounded dollars.
(4) Per share and share data in this table has been adjusted to reflect the six-for-one forward stock split of our common stock that was effected on September 13, 2024. Refer to Note 1, “General,” of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 within this Quarterly Report, for further information.
Subsequent to September 30, 2024, through October 11, 2024, we repurchased 85,960 shares at a weighted average price of $158.54 per share for $13,628 and had $671,785 remaining authorized under our stock repurchase program.
Refer to Note 8, “Stockholders’ Equity,” of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 within this Quarterly Report, for further information on repurchases of our common stock.
