10-Q Financial Filing Analysis for Crocs (2026-07-30)
Crocs, Inc. reported its second-quarter 2026 financial results, delivering consolidated revenues of $1.18 billion, up 2.6% year-over-year (2.0% in constant currency). Revenue growth was propelled by a 4.3% increase in the core Crocs Brand ($1.00 billion), supported by strong Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) performance (+12.9%), which offset a 5.7% decline in the HEYDUDE Brand ($179.0 million). Gross margin compressed by 230 basis points to 59.4%, primarily reflecting incremental tariff duties and product mix headwinds.
