First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Outlook for the Three Month Period Ending June 30, 2025

Given the macroeconomic uncertainty related to evolving global trade policies, the Company will not be providing full year guidance for fiscal year 2026 at this time. While the Company does not intend to provide quarterly guidance on a regular basis, the following represents management's current outlook for the first fiscal quarter.

• Net sales are expected to be in the range of $890 million to $910 million.
• Diluted earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $0.62 to $0.67.
• Diluted earnings per share guidance excludes any impact from additional share repurchases.

The Company's outlook is forward-looking in nature, reflecting our expectations as of May 22, 2025, and is subject to significant risks and uncertainties that limit our ability to accurately forecast results. This outlook assumes no meaningful changes to the Company's business prospects or risks and uncertainties identified by management that could impact future results, which include but are not limited to: changes in macroeconomic conditions, including consumer confidence, discretionary spending, inflationary pressures, and foreign currency fluctuations; changes to global trade policy, including tariffs and trade restrictions; geopolitical tensions; and supply chain disruption.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In certain instances the Company may present financial measures that were not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (non-GAAP financial measures), including constant currency. These non-GAAP measures provide information that may assist investors in understanding its financial results and assessing its prospects for future performance. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are important indicators of its operating performance because they exclude items that are unrelated to, and may not be indicative of, its core operating results.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented by the Company may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and may not be appropriate measures for comparing the performance of other companies relative to Deckers. For example, to calculate constant currency information, the Company calculates the current period financial information using the foreign currency exchange rates that were in effect during the previous comparable period, excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate hedges and remeasurements in the consolidated financial statements. Further, the Company reports DTC comparable net sales on a constant currency basis for DTC operations that were open throughout the current and prior reporting periods, and may adjust prior reporting periods to conform to current year accounting policies. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to represent, and should not be considered to be more meaningful measures than, or alternatives to, measures of operating performance determined in accordance with GAAP. To the extent the Company utilizes such non-GAAP financial measures in the future, it expects to calculate them using a consistent method from period-to-period.
