Full Fiscal Year 2025 Outlook for the Twelve Month Period Ending March 31, 2025

The Company's full fiscal year 2025 outlook is forward-looking in nature, reflecting our expectations as of July 25, 2024, 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 economic conditions, including consumer confidence, discretionary spending, inflationary pressures, and foreign currency fluctuations; supply chain disruptions; and geopolitical tensions.

•Net sales are still expected to increase approximately 10% to $4.7 billion.
•Gross margin is now expected to be approximately 54%.
•SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales are now expected to be in the range of 34% to 34.5%.
•Operating margin is now expected to be in the range of 19.5% to 20%.
•Effective tax rate is still expected to be in the range of 22% to 23%.
•Diluted earnings per share is now expected to be in the range of $29.75 to $30.65.
•The earnings per share guidance does not take into account the impact from any potential future share repurchases or the proposed six-for-one forward stock split, which has been approved by our Board of Directors and is pending stockholder approval at our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders to be held on September 9, 2024.

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, to 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, in order 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 condensed 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
2

not intended to represent, and should not be considered to be more meaningful measures than, or alternatives to, measures of operating performance as 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.
