DECKERS OUTDOOR CORP (DECK)

The company is a global designer, marketer and distributor of footwear, apparel and accessories for both everyday casual lifestyle use and high-performance activities. It markets its products mainly under three proprietary brands: HOKA, UGG and Teva. Its brands compete in the fashion and casual lifestyle, performance, running and outdoor markets. It seeks to differentiate them through lines that emphasize fashion, performance, authenticity, functionality, quality and comfort, and that are tailored to different activities, seasons and demographic groups.

The company reports three operating segments: HOKA, UGG and Other brands. HOKA is a premium line of year-round performance footwear with enhanced cushioning and stability at minimal weight. It was originally designed for ultra-runners, and its range now covers running, trail, hiking, fitness and lifestyle footwear, plus apparel and accessories. UGG is a premium footwear, apparel and accessories brand focused on comfort, softness and warmth, with year-round offerings. Other brands consist primarily of Teva, which makes sandals, shoes and boots for outdoor pursuits. The segment also includes results for Koolaburra and AHNU, whose standalone operations were phased out during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2026, and for Sanuk through its sale on August 15, 2024. Product design is led by in-house teams that use consumer insights, market and trend analysis, and color and material research. HOKA emphasizes biomechanics, athlete partnerships and dynamic testing, while UGG emphasizes premium materials and sensory comfort.

Products reach consumers through two channels. In the wholesale channel, the company sells to third-party retailers and distributors. HOKA goes mainly through specialty, outdoor and sporting goods, online, fashion lifestyle and higher-end department store retailers. UGG goes through fashion lifestyle retailers, higher-end department stores, streetwear and sports style partners, and online retailers. Teva goes through outdoor and sporting goods retailers, fashion lifestyle retailers, large national chains, department stores and online retailers. In the direct-to-consumer channel, the company runs its own e-commerce websites in 54 countries and 203 company-owned retail stores as of March 31, 2026. These include 141 UGG and 62 HOKA stores, split between 105 concept stores and 98 outlet stores. Products are sold in the US through brand-specific sales representatives and internationally, including in Canada, Europe, Asia and Latin America, through wholly owned subsidiaries and independent distributors, some of which operate partner retail stores.

Independent third-party contractors manufacture all of the company's products. US distribution runs through distribution centers in Moreno Valley, California and Mooresville, Indiana, along with a distribution-center bypass program for wholesale customers. Internationally, products move through warehouses and distribution centers managed by third-party logistics providers, and the company is transitioning one of these providers to a new partner.
