GOLETA, Calif., Feb. 4, 2016
GOLETA, Calif., Feb. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Deckers Brands (NYSE: DECK), a global leader in designing, marketing and distributing innovative footwear, apparel and accessories, today announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2016, which ended December 31, 2015.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2016 Financial Review
"Our third quarter was more challenging than we expected as warm weather and weak store traffic across retail pressured demand," commented Angel Martinez, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board of Directors. "While we have made significant progress diversifying our brands and product lines and transforming our organization over the past several years, we recognize the need to accelerate elements of our long-term strategy. To do this, we are streamlining our organization so we can dedicate more resources to our largest market opportunities. We are targeting approximately $35 million in annualized run rate expense savings from office consolidations, realignment of our brand management, and select retail store closings. We plan to invest approximately $10 million of this savings back into the business. We are confident these changes will increase profitability and improve shareholder returns."
Brand Office Consolidation
Deckers is moving the Sanuk® brand's operations to its global headquarters in Goleta to enhance the brand's growth prospects and is closing the Sanuk office in Irvine, California. Deckers is also closing the Ahnu® office outside San Francisco as it seeks strategic alternatives aimed at optimizing the value of the Ahnu brand.
Brand Management Realignment
The company is realigning its brands across two groups, Fashion Lifestyle and Performance Lifestyle. The Fashion Lifestyle group will encompass UGG® and Koolaburra® brands. The Performance Lifestyle group will house Teva®, Sanuk® and HOKA One One® brands.
Retail Store Fleet Optimization
The company has identified 20 retail stores that are candidates for closure and is engaging a retail consulting firm to assist in assessing and implementing additional retail operational improvements as it continues to strengthen its global store fleet.

Gross Margin
Gross margin was 49.1% in the third quarter compared to 52.9% for the same period last year. The decline in gross margin was driven by greater than planned promotional activity and a 110 basis point impact from foreign exchange headwinds caused by the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar.
Balance Sheet
At December 31, 2015, cash and cash equivalents were $263.0 million compared to $369.4 million at December 31, 2014. The Company had $23.5 million in outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2015 compared to $5.4 million at December 31, 2014. The change in cash and cash equivalents and outstanding borrowings is primarily attributable to cash used for share repurchases, inventory and capital investments, partially offset by cash provided by operating activities.
Inventories at December 31, 2015 increased 26.1% to $370.6 million compared to $293.9 million at December 31, 2014. By brand, at December 31, 2015, UGG inventory increased 31.8% to $287.4 million, Teva inventory increased 36.9% to $29.0 million, Sanuk inventory decreased 5.4% to $23.2 million, and the other brands' inventory increased 2.6% to $31.1 million. The majority of the increased inventory consisted of UGG styles that are being carried over to next season.
