Deckers raises guidance for the year
The California-based giant focusing in designing, marketing and distributing footwear, apparel and accessories, announced financial results for the second fiscal quarter and updated the financial outlook for the full 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 said 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."
