By GlobalDataCrocs chief executive officer Andrew Rees stated: “We delivered a strong third quarter, exceeding the high end of our guidance, led by double-digit revenue growth in our Crocs brand supported by healthy full-price selling and industry-leading operating margins.
“Both our brands gained share during the back-to-school season. During the quarter, we took decisive action around HEYDUDE to accelerate our marketplace management strategy to ensure long-term brand health. As such, we are adjusting our full-year outlook to reflect this shift.”
