•Full-Year 2026 Outlook Raised On Both The Top- And Bottom-Line •Crocs Brand Surpasses $1 Billion In Quarterly Revenue For The First Time •Share Repurchase Authorization Increased By $1.5 Billion To Approximately $2 Billion ___________________________________________________________________________ BROOMFIELD, COLORADO — July 30, 2026 — Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ: CROX), a world leader in innovative casual footwear for all, today announced its second quarter 2026 financial results.

“We are pleased to have delivered a stronger-than-expected second quarter, highlighted by record enterprise revenue, including the Crocs Brand surpassing $1 billion in quarterly revenue for the first time ever. Our results reflect broad consumer demand across both brands, healthy direct-to-consumer growth, and strong consumer response to new product innovation. Based on our strong first half performance, we are again raising our full-year top- and bottom-line guidance,” said Andrew Rees, Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Rees continued, “Supported by our strong cash flow generation, we remain committed to balancing investment in our brands with disciplined capital allocation, including share repurchase and debt paydown. Reflecting our confidence in the business and future cash-flow generation, we have expanded our share repurchase authorization as we aim to further return meaningful value to shareholders.”

Amounts referred to as “Adjusted” or “Non-GAAP” are Non-GAAP measures and include adjustments that are described under the heading “Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures.” A reconciliation of these amounts to their GAAP counterparts is contained in the schedules below.

Second Quarter 2026 Operating Results (Compared to the Same Period Last Year) •Consolidated revenues were $1,179 million, an increase of 2.6%, or 2.0% on a constant currency basis. Direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) revenues grew 12.0%, or 11.3% on a constant currency basis. Wholesale revenues decreased 7.2%, or 7.6% on a constant currency basis.

•Gross margin was 59.4% compared to 61.7%. Adjusted gross margin decreased 170 basis points to 60.0% compared to 61.7%.

•Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) of $415 million decreased 63.5% from $1,136 million, and represented 35.2% of revenues compared to 98.9%. The decrease in SG&A is largely driven by noncash impairment charges related to the indefinite-lived HEYDUDE trademark and HEYDUDE Brand reporting unit goodwill of $430 million and $307 million, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2025. Adjusted SG&A increased 3.1% to $412 million, and represented 34.9% of revenues compared to 34.7%.

•Income from operations of $286 million compared to loss from operations of $428 million resulted in operating margin of 24.2% compared to operating margin loss of 37.2%. The prior year loss from operations is driven by asset impairments, as described above. Adjusted income from operations of $296 million decreased 4.5% from $309 million, resulting in adjusted operating margin of 25.1% compared to 26.9%.

•Diluted earnings per share of $4.13 compared to diluted loss per share of $8.82. The prior year loss per share is driven by asset impairments, as described above. Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $4.55 increased 7.6% from $4.23.

•During the quarter, we repaid $31 million of debt. We repurchased approximately 2.3 million shares for $251 million at the average share price of $106.87. At quarter-end, approximately $496 million of share repurchase authorization remained available for future repurchases.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP MEASURES TO NON-GAAP MEASURES

In addition to financial measures presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we present "Non-GAAP gross profit," “Non-GAAP gross margin,” “Non-GAAP gross margin by brand,” "Non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses,” “Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues,” “Non-GAAP income from operations,” “Non-GAAP operating margin,” “Non-GAAP income before income taxes,” “Non-GAAP income tax expense,” “Non-GAAP effective tax rate,” “Non-GAAP net income,” and “Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per common share," which are non-GAAP financial measures. We also present future period guidance for “Non-GAAP operating margin,” “Non-GAAP effective tax rate,” “Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share,” and “Free cash flow.” We also present a long-term target for ‘Net leverage.’ Non-GAAP results exclude the impact of items that management believes affect the comparability or underlying business trends in our condensed consolidated financial statements in the periods presented.

We also present certain information related to our current period results of operations through “constant currency,” which is a non-GAAP financial measure and should be viewed as a supplement to our results of operations and presentation of reportable segments under GAAP. Constant currency represents current period results that have been retranslated using exchange rates used in the prior year comparative period to enhance the visibility of the underlying business trends excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Management uses non-GAAP results to assist in comparing business trends from period to period on a consistent basis in communications with the board of directors, stockholders, analysts, and investors concerning our financial performance. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, in addition to corresponding GAAP measures, are useful to investors and other users of our condensed consolidated financial statements as an additional tool for evaluating operating performance and trends by providing meaningful information about operations compared to our peers by excluding the impacts of various differences. The calculation of our non-GAAP financial metrics may vary from company to company. As a result, our calculation of these metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics used by other companies.

Management believes Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP gross margin, and Non-GAAP gross margin by brand are useful performance measures for investors because they provide investors with a means of comparing these measures between periods without the impact of certain expenses that we believe are not indicative of our routine cost of sales. Our routine cost of sales includes core product costs and distribution expenses primarily related to receiving, inspecting, warehousing, and packaging product and transportation costs associated with delivering products from distribution centers. Costs not indicative of our routine cost of sales may or may not be recurring in nature and include costs to expand and transition to new distribution centers.

Management believes Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses and Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues are useful performance measures for investors because they provide a more meaningful comparison to prior periods and may be indicative of the level of such expenses to be incurred in future periods. These measures exclude the impact of certain expenses not related to our normal operations that are expected to be non-recurring in nature, such as impairment charges.

Non-GAAP income from operations and Non-GAAP operating margin reflect the impact of Non-GAAP gross profit and Non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses, as discussed above. We believe these are useful performance measures for investors because they provide a basis to compare performance in the period to prior periods.

Non-GAAP income before income taxes reflects the impact of Non-GAAP income from operations, as discussed above. We believe this is a useful performance measure for investors because it provides a basis to compare performance in the period to prior periods.

Management believes Non-GAAP income tax expense is a useful performance measure for investors because it provides a basis to compare our tax rates to historical tax rates, and because the adjustment is necessary in order to calculate Non-GAAP net income.

Management believes Non-GAAP effective tax rate is a useful performance measure for investors because it provides an ongoing effective tax rate that they can use for historical comparisons and forecasting.

Management believes Non-GAAP net income is a useful performance measure for investors because it focuses on underlying operating results and trends and improves the comparability of our results to prior periods. This measure reflects the impact of Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses, and Non-GAAP income tax expense, as described above.

Management believes Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per common share are useful performance measures for investors because they focus on underlying operating results and trends and improve the comparability of our results to prior periods. These measures reflect the impact of Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses, and Non-GAAP income tax expense, as described above.

Management believes Net leverage is a useful performance measure for investors because it provides a measure of our financial strength and liquidity.

Free cash flow is calculated as ‘Cash provided by operating activities’ less ‘Purchases of property, equipment, and software.’ Management believes free cash flow is useful for investors because it provides a clear measure of our ability to generate cash for discretionary uses such as funding growth opportunities, repurchasing shares, and reducing debt.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, management believes it is helpful to evaluate our results excluding the impacts of various adjustments relating to special or non-recurring items. Investors should not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The transactions resulted in a step-up in the tax basis of intellectual property rights and correlated increases in foreign deferred tax assets based on the fair value of the transferred intellectual property rights. This adjustment represents the current period impact of these transactions.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

(1) During 2026, we expect to incur approximately $25 million of non-GAAP adjustments, primarily associated with our cost reduction initiatives. This estimate does not include the receipt of potential IEEPA tariff refunds, as we are not able to predict the timing quarter-by-quarter. We plan to recognize IEEPA tariff refunds when they are realized or considered realizable, in accordance with the gain contingency model.

(2) In the fourth quarter of 2024, and previously in 2023, 2021, and 2020, we made changes to our international legal structure, including an intra-entity transaction related to certain intellectual property rights, primarily to align with current and future international operations. The transactions resulted in a step-up in the tax basis of intellectual property rights and correlated increases in foreign deferred tax assets based on the fair value of the transferred intellectual property rights. This adjustment represents the full year 2026 impact of these transactions.

Non-GAAP Financial Guidance

Our forward-looking guidance for consolidated “adjusted operating margin” and “adjusted diluted earnings per share” represents non-GAAP financial measures that excludes or otherwise has been adjusted for special items from our U.S. GAAP financial statements. We consider these items to be necessary adjustments for purposes of evaluating our ongoing business performance and are often considered non-recurring. Such adjustments are subjective and involve significant management judgment.

While we are able to estimate full year non-GAAP adjustments, we are unable to reconcile forward-looking adjusted measures to their nearest U.S. GAAP measure quarter-by-quarter because we are unable to predict the timing of these adjustments with a reasonable degree of certainty. By their very nature, special and other non-core items are difficult to anticipate with precision because they are generally associated with unexpected and unplanned events that impact our company and its financial results. Therefore, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of these measures for the guidance related to the third quarter of 2026 without unreasonable efforts.
