Deckers: sales exceed expectations
Net sales for Deckers Brands increased by 4% in the second quarter of the company’s fiscal 2019, totaling 501.9 million US dollars against 482.5 million US dollars in similar period of the previous fiscal year
"The continued profitability gains in the UGG brand and top-line growth within the HOKA ONE ONE brand drove second quarter results, as both sales and earnings per share exceeded expectations", commented Dave Powers, President and Chief Executive Officer, adding; "Profitability in the second quarter was aided by a 350 basis point increase in gross margin over last year. While a portion of the increase in gross margin came from one-time savings in the quarter, the company continues to execute well on our long-term plan of improving levels of profitability. Additionally, our confidence in our strategy, the momentum we see in the business and the strength of the brand portfolio has led us to raise our fiscal year 2019 guidance."
