In the full fiscal year ended 31 March 2026, Hoka posted a 15.9% rise in net sales to $2.59bn, while Ugg’s net sales rose 8.2% to $2.74bn.
Other brands saw net sales fall 33.9% to $146.2m, a change attributed to the phase-out of Koolaburra operations and the sale of Sanuk.
International markets contributed notably to the overall growth, with sales up 26.8% to $2.28bn, while sales in the domestic market were at $3.19bn.
The company’s operating income was $1.26bn, up from $1.18bn a year earlier. This translated to diluted earnings per share totalled $7.02, compared to $6.33 in the prior period.
Its gross margin for the fiscal year reached 57.7%, down slightly from 57.9% last year, and selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $1.89bn from $1.71bn.
Deckers Brands president and chief executive officer Stefano Caroti said: “Fiscal 2026 was another record year for Deckers, with revenue and earnings growth powered by the continued momentum of Hoka and the enduring strength of UGG.
