US' Deckers Brands crosses $1 bn Q1 revenue as HOKA, UGG grow. 24 Jul '26 US-based footwear and lifestyle company Deckers Brands reported first-quarter (Q1) fiscal 2027 (FY27) revenue of $1.02 billion, up 5.7 per cent from $964.5 million in the year-ago period. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased 4.8 per cent. The company raised its FY27 diluted earnings per share (EPS) guidance to $7.35-7.5. Stefano Caroti, president and chief executive officer of Deckers Brands, said the company achieved a strong start to the fiscal year, crossing $1 billion in quarterly revenue for the first time, supported by the continued strength of HOKA and UGG brands. Diluted EPS increased to $0.94 from $0.93, while operating income declined to $155.3 million from $165.3 million due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses. Gross margin improved to 56.4 per cent from 55.8 per cent, Deckers Brands said in a press release. HOKA and UGG drive brand growth HOKA brand sales increased 7.7 per cent to $703.5 million, supported by strong global demand and product innovation. UGG revenue rose 4.9 per cent to $278 million, while sales from other brands declined 18.1 per cent to $37.9 million, partly due to the phase-out of Koolaburra standalone operations. "As we build deeper connections with consumers across geographies and channels, we remain focused on advancing our premium brands and executing with discipline against our long-term strategies," added Caroti. The direct-to-consumer (DTC) channel remained a key growth driver, with sales increasing 13 per cent to $352.8 million and comparable DTC sales rising 6.8 per cent. Wholesale revenue grew 2.2 per cent to $666.7 million. International sales increased 8.4 per cent to $502.1 million, while domestic sales rose 3.2 per cent to $517.4 million. Deckers ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $1.60 billion, inventory of $807.6 million and no outstanding borrowings.
