“Fiscal year 2023 is off to a solid start, with Hoka driving strong growth, propelling the brand to eclipse the billion-dollar milestone over the trailing twelve-month period,” said CEO Dave Powers. “The Hoka brand’s speed to achieve this feat is exciting, especially as the brand’s increasing penetration to our portfolio benefits Deckers’ overall quarterly financial and operational performance.”
For full fiscal year 2023, Deckers Brands said net sales are still expected to be in the range of $3.45-$3.5bn, and gross margin to be approximately 51.5%.
