- Results split by brand and channel, with the Crocs label up 0.8% to $767 million as direct-to-consumer grew, while HEYDUDE fell 12.3% on weaker wholesale.
- Profitability tightened as adjusted gross margin slipped about 90 basis points to 56.9% and adjusted operating income declined to $206 million.
- For 2026, management raised adjusted EPS guidance to $13.20 to $13.75 and now expects revenue to range from down 1% to up 1% versus last year.
- The company guided cautiously for the second quarter, projecting core-brand growth of 1% to 3% and a 12% to 14% drop at HEYDUDE, with revenue below $1.149 billion, a stance that pressured the stock after the release.
