“Our stronger than expected fourth quarter Non-GAAP operating results are very encouraging given the current market environment”, commented Angel Martinez, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board of Directors, adding: “Looking back on the year, our performance was challenged by record warm weather across the globe and store traffic declines across retail. While these issues have created lingering headwinds for the industry, I am confident that Deckers is well positioned to increase long-term shareholder value with the new leadership team in place, our robust Omni-Channel capabilities and strong brand portfolio.”
