“I am very pleased with the progress we have made, and continue to make, executing on our operating profit improvement plan. Our goal remains to achieve an incremental 100 million US dollars of operating profit by the end of our fiscal year 2020, and operating margins of at least 13% by focusing on full-priced selling, driving supply chain efficiencies, implementing process improvements, reducing indirect spend, and closing retail stores that do not meet our financial objectives”, commented Dave Powers, President and Chief Executive Officer.

With this new set of results in mind Deckers now expects net sales for fiscal year 2018 to be in the range of up approximately 1% to up 2% versus last year.
