RECONCILIATION OF GAAP MEASURES TO NON-GAAP MEASURESIn 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 months ended March 31, 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. CROCS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(1)During 2026, we expect to incur approximately $25 million of non-GAAP adjustments, primarily associated with our cost reduction
initiatives.(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 GuidanceOur 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 second quarter of 2026.CROCS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Full-Year 2025 Results Outperform Expectations on Revenue and Earnings Per ShareStrong Cash Flow Enabled Repurchase of 6.5 Million Shares for $577 Million in 2025Expects to Deliver Earnings Per Share Growth in Full-Year 2026BROOMFIELD, Colo., Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ: CROX), a world leader in innovative casual footwear for all, today announced its fourth quarter and full-year 2025 financial results."We ended 2025 on a strong note with a better-than-expected Holiday quarter. For the year, revenue exceeded $4 billion, led by low-double digit international growth for the Crocs Brand. At the same time, we accelerated our strategic actions to strengthen the long-term health of both the Crocs and HEYDUDE brands. Our powerful value creation model drove operating cash flow of approximately $700 million which enabled us to return shareholder value as we repurchased approximately 10% of our shares outstanding, and paid down $128 million of debt," said Andrew Rees, Chief Executive Officer.Mr. Rees continued, "We enter 2026 with greater confidence around our growth engines which are diversified across channels, geographies, brands, and product categories. We have identified and actioned $100 million of cost savings in 2026 aimed at driving greater efficiency while providing the flexibility to continue to invest behind our brands and deepen our connection with consumers."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.Fourth Quarter 2025 Operating Results (Compared to the Same Period Last Year)Consolidated revenues were $958 million, a decrease of 3.2%, or 4.2% on a constant currency basis. Direct-to-consumer ("DTC") revenues grew 4.7%, or 3.6% on a constant currency basis. Wholesale revenues decreased 14.5%, or 15.5% on a constant currency basis.Gross margin was 54.7% compared to 57.9%. Adjusted gross margin decreased 320 basis points to 54.7% compared to 57.9%.Selling, general, and administrative expenses ("SG&A") of $377 million increased 1.1% from $373 million, and represented 39.4% of revenues compared to 37.7%. Adjusted SG&A of $363 million decreased 2.7% from $373 million, and represented 37.9% of revenues compared to 37.7%.Income from operations of $146 million decreased 26.8% from $200 million, resulting in operating margin of 15.3% compared to 20.2%. Adjusted income from operations of $161 million decreased 19.7% from $200 million, resulting in adjusted operating margin of 16.8% compared to 20.2%.Diluted earnings per share of $2.03 decreased 68.1% from diluted earnings per share of $6.36. Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $2.29 decreased 9.1% from $2.52.During the quarter, we repurchased approximately 2.2 million shares for $180 million at an average share price of $83.63. We repaid $90 million of debt.2025 Operating Results (Compared to Last Year)Consolidated revenues were $4,041 million, a decrease of 1.5%, or 1.7% on a constant currency basis. DTC revenues grew 3.3%, or 2.9% on a constant currency basis. Wholesale revenues decreased 6.2%, or 6.2% on a constant currency basis.Gross margin was 58.3% compared to 58.8%. Adjusted gross margin decreased 50 basis points to 58.3% compared to 58.8%.SG&A of $2,208 million increased 59.0% from $1,388 million, and represented 54.6% of revenues compared to 33.8%. The increase in SG&A is largely driven by non-cash 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 of $1,456 million increased 6.8% from $1,363 million, and represented 36.0% of revenues compared to 33.2%.Income from operations of $150 million decreased 85.4% from $1,022 million, resulting in operating margin of 3.7% compared to 24.9%. The decline is driven by asset impairments, as described above. Adjusted income from operations of $901 million decreased 14.2% from $1,050 million, resulting in adjusted operating margin of 22.3% compared to 25.6%.Diluted loss per share of $1.50 decreased 109.4% from diluted earnings per share of $15.88. The loss per share is driven by asset impairments, as described above. Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $12.51 decreased 5.0% from $13.17, which excludes non-GAAP adjustments.During the year, we repaid $128 million of debt. We repurchased approximately 6.5 million shares for $577 million at an average share price of $88.68, and at year-end, $747 million of share repurchase authorization remained available for future repurchases.Fourth Quarter 2025 Brand Summary (Compared to the Same Period Last Year)Crocs Brand: Revenues increased 0.8% to $768 million, or decreased 0.4% on a constant currency basis.ChannelDTC revenues increased 6.1% to $475 million, or 4.8% on a constant currency basis.Wholesale revenues decreased 6.7% to $294 million, or 7.7% on a constant currency basis.GeographyNorth America revenues decreased 7.4% to $436 million.International revenues increased 14.1% to $332 million, or 11.0% on a constant currency basis.HEYDUDE Brand: Revenues decreased 16.9% to $189 million, or 17.5% on a constant currency basis.ChannelDTC revenues were flat at $133 million.Wholesale revenues decreased 40.5% to $56 million, or 41.7% on a constant currency basis.2025 Brand Summary (Compared to the Last Year)Crocs Brand: Revenues increased 1.5% to $3,326 million, or 1.3% on a constant currency basis.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP MEASURES TO NON-GAAP MEASURESIn 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 twelve months ended December 31, 2025, 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.CROCS, INC.

(1)See 'Non-GAAP income from operations and operating margin reconciliation' above for more details.(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.

(1) During 2026, we expect to incur approximately $25 million of non-GAAP adjustments, primarily associated with supply chain optimization and other cost savings efficiencies.(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 GuidanceOur 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 first quarter of 2026 without unreasonable efforts. CROCS, INC.
