Macroeconomic Consumer Pressure

DECKERS OUTDOOR CORP · 2026-10-29 · Importance 20 · Surprise 24

During the six months ended September 30, 2026, softer domestic demand and increased macroeconomic pressures affected consumer purchasing behavior, with consumers delaying purchases until closer to immediate need and seeking promotional offers. These conditions adversely affected domestic DTC sales, including for HOKA and UGG, and management said they may persist in the near term and continue to affect net sales and results of operations. Deckers is prioritizing full-price selling, market-share gains, and gross-margin preservation through premium brand positioning while pursuing differentiated product innovation, improved marketing and digital execution, and disciplined inventory and expense management.
