Hoka drives growth for Deckers Brands
The Californian-based group reported that Hoka's net sales rose by 54.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same quarter of last year, reaching 330.0 million US dollars
"Fiscal year 2023 is off to a solid start, with Hoka driving strong growth, propelling the brand to eclipse the billion-dollar milestone over the trailing twelve-month period. The Hoka brand's speed to achieve this feat is exciting, especially as the brand's increasing penetration to our portfolio benefits Deckers' overall quarterly financial and operational performance. In addition, our Board's recent approval of a significantly increased share repurchase authorization shows a great deal of confidence in our long-term strategic plan and the opportunities that lie ahead", commented Dave Powers, President and Chief Executive Officer.
