NIWOT, Colo., Feb. 20, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crocs Inc. (Nasdaq:CROX) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2013.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year Financial Highlights:
- GAAP revenue increased 1.6% and 6.2% in the 2013 fourth quarter and the full year, respectively. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased 4.1% and 8.8% in the 2013 fourth quarter and full year, respectively.
- The company reported a net loss of $0.76 and net income of $0.12 per diluted share on a GAAP basis in the 2013 fourth quarter and the full year, respectively. Excluding certain non-recurring, unusual and infrequent charges, the company reported a non-GAAP net loss1 of $0.20 and non-GAAP net income of $0.82 per diluted share in the 2013 fourth quarter and the full year, respectively.
John McCarvel, President and Chief Executive Officer, said "We delivered balanced performance in the fourth quarter despite the challenging retail environment in North America. On a constant currency basis, 2013 revenue grew by 4% for the quarter and 9% for the full year. The full-year revenue growth was driven by a solid 7% increase in wholesale revenue, with particular strength in Europe, as well as our global retail expansion.
"We've made tremendous progress as a company over the past 10 years – from a one-season, one-shoe, and one-country brand to a diversified, four-season global footwear leader that is on solid financial footing, and we believe our business is well positioned to succeed going forward," McCarvel continued. "The recent investment in Crocs by Blackstone is a vote of confidence in our company and our brand, and we believe Crocs will benefit from Blackstone's financial, consumer, retail and brand-building experience."

As outlined in detail in the non-GAAP reconciliations set forth later in this press release, the company recorded $49.2 million in non-recurring, unusual and infrequent charges (of which $45.5 million were non-cash charges) in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Excluding these items, the company reported a non-GAAP net loss of $17.7 million in the quarter or $0.20 per diluted share compared with non-GAAP net income of $4.4 million or $0.05 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Full year 2013 operating results
The company generated net income of $10.4 million or $0.12 per diluted share for the full year 2013, compared with net income of $131.3 million or $1.44 per diluted share in 2012.
As outlined in detail in the non-GAAP reconciliations set forth later in this press release, the company recorded $62.4 million in non-recurring, unusual and infrequent charges (of which $48.3 million were non-cash charges) for the full year 2013.
Excluding these items, the company generated non-GAAP net income of $72.8 million or $0.82 per diluted share for the full year 2013 compared with non-GAAP net income of $129.1 million or $1.42 per diluted share during 2012.
Balance Sheet
Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2013, amounted to $317.1 million, which is an increase of 7.7% from December 31, 2012. Inventory decreased 1.5% during 2013 to $162.3 million at December 31, 2013.
Financial Outlook
Thomas J. Smach, Crocs chairman of the board, commented, "As we look forward, 2014 will be a significant transition period for the company. We will recruit a new CEO who will work with the reconstituted board to refine the company's short-term and long-term strategic plans, which will include prioritizing earnings over top-line growth. We will focus on improving financial performance, particularly in the Americas and Japan, as well as enhancing our global retail execution. As we increasingly focus on profitable growth and retail excellence, we may moderate the pace of our investments in new retail stores as well as consolidate some existing locations. While the company will remain focused on creating long-term value for our shareholders, given the transition that the company will be going through, we will not be providing earnings guidance in 2014."
For the first quarter of 2014, the company expects revenue between $305 million and $315 million.
Stock Repurchase
With respect to the previously announced $350 million stock repurchase program, the company expects to begin buying back stock in the current quarter. The company intends to be patient, methodical and opportunistic in the execution of this expanded buyback plan.
CEO Search
As previously announced, Mr. McCarvel intends to retire as president, chief executive officer and board member by April 30, 2014. The board has begun a search for Mr. McCarvel's replacement and will make an announcement when the search is successfully concluded.

|
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 of operations' below, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted results of operations excludes the impact of items that management believes are non-recurring, unusual and infrequent charges that affected our consolidated statements of operations 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-recurring, unusual and infrequent items and 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-recurring, unusual and infrequent items 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 2012 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 growth is calculated on a currency neutral basis using historical annual average currency rates. | ||

Schedule 5: CROCS, INC. BACKLOG (UNAUDITED)

| Europe | 76,203 | 56,456 |
| Total backlog (1) | $ 379,272 | $ 354,331 |
| (1) We receive a significant portion of orders from our wholesale customers and distributors that remain unfilled as of any date and, at that point, represent orders scheduled to be shipped at a future date. We refer to these unfilled orders as backlog. While all orders in our backlog are subject to cancellation by customers, we expect that the majority of such orders will be filled within one year. Backlog as of a particular date is affected by a number of factors, including seasonality, manufacturing schedule and the timing of product shipments. Further, the mix of future and immediate delivery orders can vary significantly period over period. Backlog only relates to wholesale and distributor orders for the next season and current season fill-in orders and excludes potential sales in our retail and internet channels. Backlog also is affected by the timing of customers' orders and product availability. Due to these factors and since the unfulfilled orders can be canceled at any time prior to shipment by our customers, we believe that backlog may be an imprecise indicator of future revenues that may be achieved in a fiscal period and comparisons of backlog from period to period may be misleading. In addition, our historical cancellation experience may not be indicative of future cancellation rates. |
