Deckers Outdoor Corporation – UGG Australia
Posted by admin in Shoes, fashion news on December 18th, 2009
Deckers Outdoor Corporation (DECK – Analyst Report) has surprised on estimates 4 quarters in a row by average of 113.42%. The UGG brand is hot and pushed sales, and earnings, higher in the third quarter.
Company Description
Deckers Outdoor manufactures several well-known shoe brands including UGG Australia, Teva and Simple Shoes. The company sells its product through retail stores and its own ecommerce site.
Deckers Had a Record Third Quarter
On Oct 22, Deckers reported record third quarter results as earnings per share rose 31.5% to $2.59 compared to $1.97 a year ago. EPS also surprised on the Zacks Consensus by 36 cents, or 16.14%.
Sales rose 15.8% to $228.4 million from $197.3 million in the third quarter of 2008. UGG sales were especially hot, rising 19.1% to $212.8 million from $178.7 million in the year ago period.
The Teva and Simple Shoes brands saw sales declines of 19.5% and 31.4%, respectively. But both of those segments are a small percentage of overall sales, just $9 million and $3.5 million, compared to the UGG powerhouse.
Bucking the retail trend, inventories actually increased by 18.9%, including a big increase in the UGG brand. Teva and Simple Shoe inventories both decreased. The majority of the UGG brand’s business is pre-booked so the inventory is necessary to fulfill the order volume currently on the books.

It also expects EPS to climb about 9% over the $7.27 it earned in 2008. That would put EPS around $7.92 per share.
Analysts raised estimates to meet the forecasts. The fourth quarter Zacks Consensus Estimate is up 6.5% to $4.22 from $3.96 per share. The 2009 Zacks Consensus Estimate jumped to $7.97 from $7.36 in the last 2 months.

Counting Ugg points fun way to pass time

Who doesn’t love the Ugg game? It’s great entertainment for walking through campus or while you’re in class.
The Ugg game is great to play with or against your friends. You can either make a team with your friends and combine your scores, or add up your own points and compare scores at the end of the day. This game is great for the competitive person and for those who are looking to have fun.
The Ugg game is not only great for walking on campus, but it’s also good for when you go home. I often find myself bored while shopping with my mom, and I start calling out points while she asks my opinion about a shirt.
I have even considered getting a pair of Uggs so I can have a few extra points compared to my friends. The Ugg game can be used for boring car rides to visit family for the holidays.
Also, you can always look for the best new combination of Uggs with other articles of clothing. It adds a twist to the game and provides a different type of competition for participants to see who can find the most outrageous Ugg combination. This game is adaptable and can be played many different ways.
Ugg game defined

For as long as Ugg boots have been produced and worn, people have made fun of them. Though sources differ, Uggs are believed to have originated in either New Zealand or Australia.
Aviators in World War I called them “fug boots,” according to a Central Coast Express article written in 2004. In the U.S., they were first sold in 1979 by UGG Holdings, Inc.
Recently, the boots have been considered fashionable by virtue of being worn by the likes of Pamela Anderson and Kate Hudson.
The first documented case of the Ugg game being played was in May 2006 by a blogger on the Web site NeoBlog, who claimed to have invented the game in 2005.
K-State’s campus was stormed by the Ugg game only this semester, though. Because of popular demand, we once again give you the rules to the Ugg game:
Ugg boots: 1/2 point
Ugg boots and North Face: 1 point
Ugg boots, North Face and sorority symbol: 3 points
Ugg boots, North Face and skirt: 5 points
Must be Ugg brand boots or Ugg slippers to qualify for points
