NIWOT, Colo., Feb. 26, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crocs Inc. (Nasdaq:CROX) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2014.
Full Year and Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights:
-
GAAP revenue increased 0.5% year over year to $1.2 billion. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased 1.8% as compared to the prior year. For the fourth quarter, revenue was $206.5 million a decline of 9.7% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. On a constant currency basis, fourth quarter revenue declined 5%.
-
Net loss attributable to common stockholders on a GAAP basis was $0.22 per diluted share for the year and $0.70 per diluted share for the fourth quarter. Excluding certain non-recurring and special charges, the company reported non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders of $50.0 million for the year and a non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $30.0 million for the fourth quarter.
Gregg Ribatt, Chief Executive Officer, said: "We delivered fourth quarter sales in line with expectations. Our business was essentially flat to last year, on a constant currency basis across all regions including the Americas, Europe, Japan and Asia with the exception of Latin America and China. We believe the strategy the company outlined last July will position Crocs for sustained success in the future. We are making meaningful progress on implementing the strategy including: strengthening our brand; elevating our product stories while eliminating non-core categories; evolving our international business to focus on our six core markets while building best in class partnerships in the rest of the world; strengthening our relationships with key wholesale partners; improving our direct to consumer capabilities; simplifying our business model; and, building a best in class team. More specifically, in the second half of 2014 the company eliminated non-core product categories, closed more than 100 stores, reduced headcount, and simplified our international operations. We are confident these moves will enable us to streamline our business model, focus on our biggest and most meaningful opportunities, and position the company for growth in the future."
Financial Review
Fourth quarter operating results
In the fourth quarter of 2014, the company incurred a GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders of $56.9 million or $0.70 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $66.9 million or $0.76 per diluted share in the same quarter of the prior year.
As outlined in detail in the non-GAAP reconciliations set forth later in this press release, the company recorded $26.8 million in non-recurring and special charges (of which $15.3 million were non-cash charges) in the fourth quarter of 2014; compared with $49.2 million in non-recurring and special charges (of which $46.5 million were non-cash charges) in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Excluding these items, the company reported a non-GAAP adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders of $30.0 million in the quarter or compared with a non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $17.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Full year 2014 operating results
The company generated net loss attributable to common stockholders of $19.0 million or $0.22 per diluted share for the full year ended 2014, compared with net income of $10.4 million or $0.12 per diluted share in 2013.
As outlined in detail in the non-GAAP reconciliations set forth later in this press release, the company recorded $69 million in non-recurring and special charges (of which $27.7 million were non-cash charges) for the year ended 2014; compared with $62.4 million in non-recurring and special charges (of which $49.3 million were non-cash charges) for the full year 2013.
Excluding these items, the company generated non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders of $50.0 million for the year ended 2014 compared with non-GAAP adjusted net income of $72.8 million during 2013.
Balance Sheet
Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2014, amounted to $267.5 million. Inventory was $171.0 million at the end of 2014 compared with $162.3 million on December 31, 2013.
Financial Outlook
Mr. Ribatt continued, "As we look forward, 2015 will be a transition period for the company. Our business continues to stabilize across all of our regions while we address the continuing challenges of the stronger US dollar and our China business. We expect Q1 revenues to be down on a constant currency basis by 10% to 12%, to a range of $260 to $265 million, driven primarily by declines in our China business. We expect the declines to moderate substantially in Q2 and growth to return in the second half of 2015 as many of the strategic changes we implemented in late 2014 positively impact the business."
Stock Repurchase
The company repurchased 10.6 million shares of common stock in 2014 of which 4.5 million shares were repurchased in the fourth quarter of 2014 at an average price of $12.38. The company ended the year at 78.5 million common shares outstanding and fourth quarter weighted average shares outstanding was 80.9 million.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP MEASURES TO NON-GAAP MEASURES (UNAUDITED) |
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to financial measures presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), we present current period 'adjusted results', which are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted results of operations exclude the impact of items that management believes affect the comparability or underlying business trends in our condensed consolidated financial statements in the periods presented.
Management uses adjusted results to assist in comparing business trends from period to period on a consistent basis without regard to the impact of non-GAAP adjustments in communications with the board of directors, stockholders, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance. We believe that these non-GAAP measures are used by, and are useful to, investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating operating performance by providing better comparability between reporting periods because they provide an additional tool to evaluate our performance without regard to non-GAAP adjustments that may not be indicative of overall business trends. They also provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our operations. We do not suggest that investors should consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. |

(1) Reflects quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year change as if the current period results were in "constant currency," which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Constant currency is a measure utilized by management in which current period results have been restated using 2014 average foreign exchange rates for the comparative period to enhance the visibility of the underlying business trends by excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We do not suggest that investors should consider this non-GAAP measure in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. |

(1) Comparable store status is determined on a monthly basis. Comparable store sales begin in the thirteenth month of a store's operation. Stores in which selling square footage has changed more than 15% as a result of a remodel, expansion or reduction are excluded until the thirteenth month in which they have comparable prior year sales. Temporarily closed stores are excluded from the comparable store sales calculation during the month of closure. Location closures in excess of three months are excluded until the thirteenth month post re-opening. Comparable store sales exclude the impact of our internet channel revenues and are calculated on a currency neutral basis using historical annual average currency rates. |
