What's Driving DECK's Business? Latest 10-K Breakdown
✓ 16/16 datapoints verifiedAI-extracted from DECKERS OUTDOOR CORP's 10-K filed 2026-05-22 — FY2026 (year ended March 31, 2026). Every figure is machine-verified against the filing text on SEC EDGAR.
DECK reported FY2026 net sales of $5.47B (+9.8% YoY) driven by HOKA (+15.9%) and UGG (+8.2%), with diluted EPS of $7.02 (+10.9%), though gross margin compressed 20bps to 57.7% from tariffs.
Biggest Revenue Drivers
Total revenue: $5.47B+9.8% YoY
Higher global net sales across both wholesale and DTC channels, led by international sales and adoption of year-round product offerings.
Higher global net sales growth across both wholesale and DTC channels, led by international sales and continued marketplace strategy meeting increased global demand.
Lower domestic net sales in wholesale driven by phase out of Koolaburra and AHNU standalone operations; lower Teva brand sales from refocus toward outdoor and premium retailers.
Largest Expense Items
Higher advertising, marketing, promotion expenses (+$63.6M); higher IT, sales commissions, 3PL service fees (+$59M); higher rent and occupancy for retail expansion and warehouses (+$36.7M).
Incremental tariffs on domestic goods and slightly unfavorable channel mix; partially offset by cost-sharing arrangements, strategic price increases, favorable product mix, and freight improvements.
Margins: Gross margin declined 20 basis points to 57.7% primarily due to incremental tariffs on domestic goods and unfavorable channel mix, partially offset by cost-sharing arrangements and strategic pricing actions. Operating margin decreased 50 basis points to 23.1% as SG&A expense growth (11.0%) outpaced net sales growth (9.8%).
Watch Items from the Filing
- Tariff exposure: Company expects potential tariff refunds from prior duties but has not yet recognized any amounts; uncertain timing and availability of refunds remains a material risk to gross margin.
- 3PL transition risk: Company is currently transitioning one international 3PL to a new partner, which may create temporary operational risks during system cutover and migration.
- One customer represents 18.5% of trade accounts receivable as of March 31, 2026, creating collection and concentration risk if that customer faces financial distress.
- Other brands segment (primarily Teva) declined 33.9% YoY from lower value-oriented consumer demand and wholesale repositioning; future performance remains uncertain amid macroeconomic pressure.

• Q4 2025 peak results — $1,958M revenue, $614M operating income — suggest seasonal strength but Q1 weakness persists.
• Operating cash flow rebounded to $96M in Q1 2026 from negative $73M in Q1 2025, improving liquidity trajectory.
⚠ Sequential revenue decline from Q4 2025 ($1,958M) to Q1 2026 ($1,119M) steeper than prior-year Q4-to-Q1 drop ($1,827M to $1,022M).
⚠ Operating margin compressed to 14.0% in Q1 2026 from 17.0% in Q1 2025 — first year-over-year margin contraction.
AI Insight: DECK Ratio Trends
