SEC filingRevenue grew 3.4% to $1.15B, but $738M HEYDUDE impairments drove net loss of $492M.
In Q2 2025, Crocs reported revenue of $1,149.4 million, a 3.4% increase from $1,111.5 million in Q2 2024. The growth was driven by a $36.6 million (3.3%) increase in unit sales volume, primarily from the Crocs Brand, and $7.4 million (0.7%) from favorable foreign exchange, partially offset by a $6.2 million (0.6%) decline in average selling price (ASP). Gross margin improved 30 basis points to 61.7% due to reduced discounting in the Crocs Brand. However, operating income plummeted to a loss of $427.5 million from income of $325.7 million, largely due to $738.1 million in asset impairment charges related to the HEYDUDE Brand. The net loss was $492.3 million ($8.82 per diluted share), compared to net income of $228.9 million ($3.77 per diluted share) in the prior year. SG&A expenses increased 11.8% to $398.2 million, driven by investments in marketing and DTC costs.
Crocs Brand revenue grew 5.0% to $959.6 million, with wholesale up 6.8% and DTC up 3.4%. Constant currency growth was 4.2%. Operating income increased 0.8% to $358.4 million, with gross margin flat at 64.1%. The brand benefited from higher volume and reduced discounting, despite unfavorable product mix and lower ASP.
HEYDUDE Brand revenue declined 3.9% to $189.8 million (constant currency -4.2%), driven by lower volume, partially offset by higher ASP from favorable channel mix. The segment swung from an operating income of $42.4 million to a loss of $705.9 million, due to $737.0 million in non-cash impairment charges (trademark $430M, goodwill $307M). These impairments resulted from downward revisions to the HEYDUDE forecast, reflecting extended timeline to stabilize the brand amid weak U.S. consumer and tariff impacts.
Enterprise corporate costs increased 10.8% to $79.9 million, mainly from severance and IT project discontinuation.
Management anticipates continued pressure on discretionary spending and cautious wholesale partner behavior due to elevated interest rates, inflation, and tariffs. For the Crocs Brand, promotional activity was reduced in Q2 to protect brand health and profitability. HEYDUDE Brand stabilization is expected to take longer than previously anticipated, and further impairment charges could occur if forecasts are not met. The company is mitigating tariff impacts through sourcing diversification, cost structure refinements, and select price increases. Liquidity remains strong with $200.6 million cash and $799.4 million available borrowing capacity, supporting ongoing operations and share repurchases ($133.2 million in Q2).
As of June 30, 2025, Crocs held $200.6 million in cash and cash equivalents plus $3.6 million in restricted cash.

The revolving credit facility provides $1.0 billion in commitments, with $784.4 million available after $215 million drawn and $0.6 million in letters of credit. The leverage covenant was 3.25x interest coverage ratio was 3.00x, and the company was in compliance. Shareholders' equity fell to $1.421 billion from $1.836 billion at year-end 2024, driven by the $332.2 million net loss and $195.8 million in share repurchases, partly offset by $97.5 million in other comprehensive income.
The only disclosed contractual commitment is $195.9 million in purchase commitments to third-party manufacturers, primarily for materials and supplies, as of June 30, 2025. These are expected to be fulfilled in the normal course of business and no liability has been recorded. No additional purchase commitments, capacity agreements, or long-term supply contracts were disclosed in the Notes. The company also disclosed operating lease liabilities totaling $394.5 million (current $82.9M, long-term $311.5M) with future minimum payments of $477.8 million and imputed interest of $83.4 million.
The company repurchased 1.3 million shares for $133.2 million during Q2 2025 (including commissions), leaving $1.1 billion remaining authorization. No dividends were declared or paid. Debt activity included $539 million in borrowings and $514 million in repayments during the six months ended June 30, 2025, resulting in a net $25 million increase in total borrowings. Capital expenditures totaled $31.9 million for the six-month period, compared to $32.8 million in the prior year. No new share repurchase authorization or dividend program was announced.
Two reportable segments: Crocs Brand and HEYDUDE Brand. Crocs Brand revenue grew 5.0% YoY to $959.6 million, driven by International (+18.2%) offsetting a 6.4% decline in North America. Operating income for Crocs Brand was $358.4 million (37.3% margin). HEYDUDE Brand revenue fell 3.9% to $189.8 million, with an operating loss of $705.9 million due to $737 million in asset impairments (trademark $430M, goodwill $307M). The company does not report segment-level assets.
Operating cash flow (CFO) of $218.6M for the first half of 2025 was significantly lower than net income of ($332.2M), primarily due to a large non-cash asset impairment charge of $738.1M. Excluding this impairment, adjusted net income would have been positive, but CFO still declined 41% year-over-year from $373.7M, driven by unfavorable working capital changes. Accounts receivable increased by $147.2M, inventories rose $49.8M, and income taxes paid were $108.6M (up from $71.8M), all weighing on cash generation.
Capital expenditures of $31.9M were essentially flat versus $32.8M in the prior year, representing a capex intensity of roughly 15% of CFO (or 5% of adjusted net income). Free cash flow (CFO minus capex) was approximately $186.6M, which covered the $194.1M in share repurchases, though only marginally. The company did not pay dividends.
Financing activities showed net borrowings of $25.0M (proceeds of $539.0M less repayments of $514.0M), while share repurchases consumed $194.1M. The overall cash balance increased by $20.5M to $204.2M, supported by a $7.1M positive FX effect. The primary anomaly is the large impairment charge, which distorts net income but does not affect cash flows, and the significant working capital outflows that pressured CFO.
