(1)                      General

(a)          Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation for each of the periods presented.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be achieved for full fiscal years.  Our business is seasonal, with the highest percentage of UGG® brand net sales occurring in the third and fourth quarters and the highest percentage of Teva® brand net sales occurring in the first and second quarters of each year. To date, the other brands have not had a seasonal impact on the Company.  In March 2009, the Company acquired 100% of the ownership interest of Ahnu, Inc., an outdoor performance and lifestyle footwear brand.  The Company does not expect the Ahnu® brand to have a significant effect on the seasonality of its consolidated net sales in 2009.

As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes have been condensed and do not contain certain information that will be included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of this report, which represents the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.

(b)         Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to inventory reserves; allowances for bad debts, returns, chargebacks and discounts; share-based compensation; impairment assessments; depreciation and amortization; income tax liabilities and uncertain tax positions; fair value of financial instruments; and fair values of acquired intangibles, assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

(c)          Reclassifications

Certain items in the prior year’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

(2)                      Stockholders’ Equity

In May 2009, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock from 20,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares.

In June 2009, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $50,000 of the Company’s common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors.  The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and the program may be suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion.  The purchases will be funded from available working capital.  As of June 30, 2009, the Company did not repurchase any of its common stock under this program.

(3)                      Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is the total of net income (loss) and all other non-owner changes in equity. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, accumulated other comprehensive income of $391and $392, respectively, consisted of net unrealized gains on short-term investments and cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment.

Comprehensive income (loss) is determined as follows:

(4)                      Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Deckers Outdoor Corporation Common Stockholders per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share represents net income (loss) divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted net income (loss) per share represents net income (loss) divided by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding, including the dilutive impact of potential issuances of common stock.  For the three and six months ended June, 30, 2009 and 2008, the difference between the weighted-average number of basic and diluted common shares resulted from the dilutive impact of NSUs and options to purchase common stock.

The reconciliations of basic to diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were as follows:

All options outstanding as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 were included in the computation of diluted income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and for the six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.  The Company excluded 157,000 options and NSUs that were not contingently issuable that were outstanding as of June 30, 2008 from the diluted net loss per share computation for the three months ended June 30, 2008, because they were anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the period.

The Company excluded 90,000 and 86,000 contingently issuable shares of common stock underlying its NSUs from the diluted net income (loss) per share computation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The Company excluded all of its SARs and RSUs from the diluted net income per share computation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The shares were excluded because the necessary conditions had not been satisfied for the shares to be issuable based on the Company’s performance through June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

(5)                      Restricted Cash

In January 2007, the Company entered into an escrow agreement by and among Deckers Outdoor Corporation, MacGillivray Freeman Films, Inc., and Comerica Bank.  The agreement was initiated in conjunction with the Company’s purchase obligation with a movie production company for advertising services.  As a result of the agreement, during the six months ended June 30,

6

(Unaudited)

(amounts in thousands, except share quantity and per share data)

2009, the Company paid $300 of the purchase obligation and had $700 of restricted cash related to this obligation remaining as of June 30, 2009.  Film production was completed and the movie was released in March 2008. Accordingly, the Company recorded the full $1,250 obligation as advertising expense during the first quarter of 2008.  Of the total restricted cash related to this obligation, $300 is short-term and is included as a current asset, and the remaining $400 is long-term and is included as a noncurrent asset in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2009.  The agreement contains a disbursement schedule according to when the remaining funds will be disbursed to the production company, which is as follows:

(6)                      Fair Value Measurements

The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses, and income taxes payable approximate the carrying values due to the relatively short maturities of these instruments.  The fair values of the Company’s long-term liabilities and off-balance sheet liabilities, if recalculated based on current interest rates, would not significantly differ from the recorded amounts.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157) and ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820) for financial assets and financial liabilities effective January 1, 2008 and for nonfinancial assets and liabilities beginning January 1, 2009.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.  SFAS 157 and ASC 820 prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following hierarchy:

·                  Level 1:  Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

·                  Level 2:  Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable.

·                  Level 3:  Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

Short-term investments are classified as available for sale under the provisions of SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” and ASC 320 “Investments — Debt and Equity Securities.” Accordingly, the short-term investments are reported at fair value, with any unrealized gains and losses included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.  Interest and dividends are included in interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.  Securities with original maturities of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents.  Those that mature over three months from their original date and in less than one year are classified as short-term investments, as the funds are used for working capital requirements.  The fair values of the Company’s short-term investments are shown in the table below and were determined based on Level 1 inputs under SFAS 157 and ASC 820.

The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.  Proceeds from sales of available for sale securities were as follows:

(7)                      Credit Facility

The Company’s revolving credit facility with Comerica Bank (the “Facility”) provides for a maximum availability of $20,000.  Up to $12,500 of borrowings may be in the form of letters of credit. The Facility bears interest at the lender’s prime rate (3.25% at June 30, 2009) or, at the Company’s option, at the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, (0.31% at June 30, 2009) plus 1.0% to 2.5%, depending on the ratio of liabilities to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and is secured by substantially all assets. The Facility includes annual commitment fees of $60 per year and expires on June 1, 2010.

(amounts in thousands, except share quantity and per share data)

At June 30, 2009, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Facility and outstanding letters of credit aggregated $189.  As a result, $19,811 was available under the Facility at June 30, 2009.

The agreements underlying the Facility contain certain financial covenants.  The Company amended the Facility including certain financial covenants in June 2009.  The covenants currently include a limitation on aggregate annual lease payments of $20,000, a quick ratio requirement of at least 0.90:1.00, a minimum profitability requirement of $1,000 per fiscal quarter (except for the current quarter ended June 30, 2009, there is a maximum net loss of $3,000), a limitation on annual consolidated capital expenditures of $25,000 in fiscal year 2009 and $15,000 in any fiscal year thereafter, a minimum tangible net worth requirement of $37,000 commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 plus 75% of consolidated net profit on a cumulative basis, and a requirement that the Company’s consolidated total liabilities to consolidated effective tangible net worth ratio be no greater than 1.50:1.00.  The agreements also contain a prohibition on the payment of dividends.

(8)                      Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141R) and ASC 805 “Business Combinations” (ASC 805). The objective of SFAS 141R and ASC 805 is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. SFAS 141R and ASC 805 require that all business combinations be accounted for by applying the acquisition method (previously referred to as the purchase method), and most identifiable assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill acquired in business combinations to be recorded at “full fair value.” SFAS 141R and ASC 805 also broaden the definition of a business and changes the treatment of direct acquisition-related costs from being included in the purchase price to instead being generally expensed if they are not costs associated with issuing debt or equity securities. The Company adopted SFAS 141R and ASC 805 on January 1, 2009, and applied the provisions to its new business combination.  In its business combinations accounted for under SFAS 141R and ASC 805, the Company recorded a liability of $820, included in long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, that would not have otherwise been recorded when compared to the previous guidance of SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141).

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (SFAS 160) and ASC 810 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (ASC 810). The objective of SFAS 160 and ASC 810 is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 and ASC 810 specify that noncontrolling interests (referred to as minority interests prior to SFAS 160 and ASC 810) be reported as a separate component of equity, not as a liability or other item outside of equity, which changes the accounting for transactions with noncontrolling interest holders. The Company adopted SFAS 160 and ASC 810 on January 1, 2009, and applied the provisions to the Company’s current noncontrolling interest and reclassified it into equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  In addition, net income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to Deckers Outdoor Corporation have been adjusted on the condensed consolidated statements of operations to conform to SFAS 160 and ASC 810.

In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 141R-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies” (FSP 141R-1) and ASC 805 “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies” (ASC 805).  FSP 141R-1 and ASC 805 amend the provisions in Statement 141R and ASC 805 for the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosures for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations. The FSP eliminates the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies, including the initial recognition and measurement criteria in Statement 141R and ASC 805 and instead carries forward most of the provisions in SFAS 141 and ASC 805 for acquired contingencies. FSP 141R-1 and ASC 805 are effective for contingent assets and contingent liabilities acquired in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company applied the provisions of FSP 141R-1 and ASC 805 effective January 1, 2009, and the adoption of the FSP did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (SFAS 165) and ASC 855 “Subsequent Events” (ASC 855).  The standard requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and whether that represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued.  SFAS 165 and ASC 855 are effective for

interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The Company applied the requirements of SFAS 165 and ASC 855 to its condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2009, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 168 “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles — a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (SFAS 168) and ASC 105 “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (ASC 105).  SFAS 168 and ASC 105 establish the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP.  SFAS 168 and ASC 105 are effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  The Company has included both references in its condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ending June 30, 2009.

(9)                      Business Segments, Concentration of Business, and Credit Risk and Significant Customers

The Company’s accounting policies of the segments below are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies, except that the Company does not allocate share-based compensation, interest, non-operating income and expenses, income taxes, net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest, or certain unusual items to segments. The Company evaluates segment performance primarily based on net sales and income or loss from operations. The Company’s reportable segments include the strategic business units responsible for the worldwide wholesale operations of the UGG brand, Teva brand, Simple® brand, and its other brands, its eCommerce business and its retail store business.  The wholesale operations of each brand are managed separately because each requires different marketing, research and development, design, sourcing and sales strategies. The eCommerce and retail store segments are managed separately because they are direct to consumer sales, while the brand segments are wholesale sales.  The income or loss from operations for each of the segments includes only those costs which are specifically related to each segment, which consist primarily of cost of sales, costs for research and development, design, marketing, sales, commissions, bad debts, depreciation, amortization and the costs of employees and their respective expenses that are directly related to each business segment. The unallocated corporate overhead costs are the shared costs of the organization and include the following: costs of the distribution centers, certain executive compensation, accounting and finance, legal, information technology, credit and collections, human resources and facilities costs, among others.  The gross profit derived from the sales to third parties of the eCommerce segment and the US retail store segment is separated into two components:  (i) the wholesale profit is included in the operating income or loss of each of the brands’ wholesale segments, and (ii) the retail profit is included in the operating income or loss of the eCommerce segment and the retail store segment.  The gross profit of the international portion of the retail segment includes both the wholesale and retail profit.

The Company’s other brands consist of TSUBO® and Ahnu.  In May 2008, the Company acquired 100% of the ownership interest of TSUBO, LLC, and in March 2009, the Company acquired 100% of the ownership interest of Ahnu, Inc.  The wholesale operations of these brands are included as one reportable segment, other wholesale, presented in the figures below.

The Company sells its products to customers throughout the US and to foreign customers located in Europe, Canada, Australia, Asia, and Latin America, among other regions.  International sales were 45.3% and 37.3% of the Company’s total net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  International sales were 33.1% and 28.0% of the Company’s total net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The Company does not consider international operations a separate segment, as management reviews such operations in the aggregate with the aforementioned segments.

Management performs regular evaluations concerning the ability of its customers to satisfy their obligations and records a provision for doubtful accounts based upon these evaluations.  No single customer accounted for more than 10.0% of the Company’s net sales for either the six months ended June 30, 2009 or 2008.  As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had one customer representing 12.7% and 34.1% of net trade accounts receivable, respectively.

The Company’s production and sourcing is concentrated in China, New Zealand and Australia, with the vast majority of its production at six independent contractor factories in China. The Company’s operations are subject to the customary risks of doing business abroad, including, but not limited to, currency fluctuations, customs duties, and related fees, various import controls and other nontariff barriers, restrictions on the transfer of funds, labor unrest and strikes and, in certain parts of the world, political instability.

(10)                Commitments and Contingencies

The Company agreed to make loans to its joint venture with Stella International, should the need arise. The estimated total loans by Deckers and Stella International is expected to be approximately $4,000 contributed by both parties in proportion to their respective ownership in the joint venture.  The Company owns 51% of the joint venture. The Company also entered into agreements to make potential future earn-out payments relating to its acquisitions of TSUBO, LLC and Ahnu, Inc.  The potential TSUBO, LLC earn-out is based on the amount, if any, that sales of TSUBO products exceed certain predetermined base revenue levels for each year from 2008 to 2012.  At June 30, 2009, the Company did not anticipate, and therefore did not accrue, any earn-out payments for TSUBO, LLC in accordance with SFAS 141 and ASC 805.  The potential Ahnu, Inc. earn-out is based on the amount, if any, that gross profit of Ahnu products exceeds certain base levels for each year from 2010 to 2013.  As of June 30, 2009, in accordance with SFAS 141R and ASC 805, $820 is included for the Ahnu Inc. earn-out within long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Company had certain tax obligations to authorities in China for one of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The Company paid certain amounts against these obligations and also negotiated certain reductions of previously accrued amounts. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” and ASC 450 “Contingencies,” as of June 30, 2009, management has determined that any remaining liability for such matters is remote.  Accordingly, the Company has reversed the previously accrued amount of approximately $1,600, primarily as a reduction of cost of sales of approximately $600 and interest expense of approximately $1,000, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.

In September 2008, the Company entered into a pilot services agreement whereby a third party is providing the Company with selling services. In connection with this agreement, the Company has guaranteed the third party’s obligations to a merchant services provider. The Company may terminate this guarantee upon thirty days written notice to the merchant services provider. The agreement does not provide for a maximum payout; however, management believes the likelihood of any payments under this guarantee is remote and would have an immaterial effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.  The Company determined this based upon an analysis of the third party’s historical financial data and sales and returns projections.

(amounts in thousands, except share quantity and per share data)

The Company is currently involved in various legal claims arising from the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that the disposition of these matters will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.  The Company indemnifies its licensees, distributors and certain promotional partners in connection with claims alleging use of the Company’s licensed intellectual property.  The terms of the agreements range up to five years initially and do not provide for a limitation on the maximum potential future payments.  Management believes the likelihood of any payments is remote and would be immaterial.  The Company determined the risk was low based on a prior history of insignificant claims.  The Company is not currently involved in any indemnification matters in regards to its intellectual property.

In February 2009, the Company entered into a contract requiring minimum purchase commitments of sheepskin of approximately $64,000 that Deckers’ affiliates, manufacturers, factories and other agents (each or collectively, a “Buyer”) must make on or before December 31, 2010.  This contract may result in an unconditional purchase obligation if a Buyer does not meet the minimum purchase requirements.  In the event that a Buyer does not purchase such minimum commitments on or before December 31, 2010, the Company is required to purchase any remaining amounts on or before December 31, 2010. The contract does not permit net settlement.  The Company expects sheepskin purchases by third party factories supplying UGG product to the Company will exceed these levels in 2009 and 2010.  Therefore, management believes the likelihood of any non-performance payments under this contractual arrangement is remote and would have an immaterial effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.  The Company determined this based upon its historical and projected sales and inventory purchases.

(11)                Business Combinations

In May 2008, the Company acquired 100% of the ownership interest of TSUBO, LLC.  The acquisition resulted in the recognition of goodwill of $3,496, nonamortizable intangible assets of $1,970 related to the TSUBO trademarks and trade name, as well as $470 of amortizable intangible assets related to TSUBO brand distributor relationships.  All of the TSUBO goodwill was written off as of December 31, 2008.  In the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1,000 on the TSUBO trademarks (see note 12).

In March 2009, the Company acquired 100% of the ownership interest of Ahnu, Inc., an outdoor performance and lifestyle footwear brand.  The Company paid cash consideration in the form of a loan that was entered into concurrently with a definitive agreement for the acquisition of Ahnu, Inc.  In accordance with SFAS 141R and ASC 805, the acquisition-date fair value of the total consideration transferred was as follows:

In addition, the Company may pay future earn-outs based on the amount, if any, that gross profit of Ahnu products exceeds certain base levels for each year from 2010 to 2013.  The earn-out for each year, if any, will be payable within ninety days after the end of each year.  There is no maximum to this potential earn-out, however management believes the estimated undiscounted range of outcomes for this contingent consideration was zero to $8,800.  The weighted average fair value of the potential earn-out of $820, based on Level 3 inputs under SFAS 157 and ASC 820, was included as purchase consideration and is included within long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2009.

The Company made this acquisition because it believes that the Ahnu brand complements its existing portfolio of lifestyle brands, and that the Ahnu brand’s target consumer, product selection, industry niche and relative under-penetration in the marketplace make it a good fit for the Company. The preliminary purchase price allocation, subject to a measurement period not to exceed one year, resulted in the recognition of $1,357 of goodwill and amortizable intangible assets of $695 related to the Ahnu trademarks, trade name and customer relationships, and was determined, in part, based on the Company’s expectation that it can leverage its design, marketing and distribution capabilities to grow the Ahnu brand into a meaningful

business over the next several years, consistent with the Company’s mission to build niche brands into global market leaders.  The goodwill is included in the Company’s other brands wholesale reportable segment and none of it is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.  The Company adjusted the preliminary measurement of allocated assets and liabilities in the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  Such adjustments were immaterial to the condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations.  The trademarks and trade name are being amortized over ten years and the customer relationships are being amortized over four years.

As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had total net goodwill of $7,458 and $6,101, respectively.

As of June 30, 2009, the Company did not reach its 2009 TSUBO brand period-to-date sales targets and reduced its long-term forecast for TSUBO brand sales.  These factors were indicators that the TSUBO intangible assets were possibly impaired.  As a result, in accordance with SFAS 142 and ASC 350 “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other,” the Company conducted an interim impairment evaluation of the TSUBO intangible assets as of June 30, 2009 and concluded that the fair value of the TSUBO trademarks was lower than the carrying amount.  Therefore, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $1,000 on the TSUBO trademarks during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.  The impairment loss is included as a part of the other wholesale reportable segment.  In addition, the Company will amortize the remaining TSUBO trademarks of $970 over ten years.

As of June 30, 2008, the Company did not reach its 2008 Teva brand period-to-date sales targets and reduced its long-term forecast for Teva brand sales.  As a result, the Company conducted an interim impairment evaluation of the Teva goodwill and intangible assets as of June 30, 2008 and concluded that the Teva goodwill was not impaired, but the fair value of the Teva trademarks was lower than the carrying amount. Therefore, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $14,900 on the Teva trademarks during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.  The impairment loss is included as a part of the Teva wholesale reportable segment.

These impairment losses are included in a separate line item within the Company’s income (loss) from operations.  Both the TSUBO and Teva trademarks were evaluated based on Level 3 inputs using a relief from royalty method, primarily based on management’s forecasted sales, a royalty rate, and discount rates.

Subsequent to June 30, 2009, the Company repurchased approximately 150,000 shares of its common stock for approximately $10,200 under its stock repurchase program.

Overview

We are a leading designer, producer and brand manager of innovative, high-quality footwear and accessories and the category creator in the luxury sheepskin, sport sandal and sustainable footwear segments. We market our products primarily under three proprietary brands:

·                  UGG®: Authentic luxury sheepskin boots and a full line of luxury and comfort footwear and accessories;

·                  Teva®: High performance sport shoes and rugged outdoor footwear and accessories; and

·                  Simple®: Innovative sustainable-lifestyle footwear and accessories.

In addition to our primary brands, our newest brands include TSUBO®, a line of high-end casual footwear that incorporates style, function and maximum comfort and Ahnu®, a line of outdoor performance and lifestyle footwear.

We sell our brands through our quality domestic retailers and international distributors and directly to our end-user consumers through our eCommerce business and our retail stores. We sell our footwear in both the domestic market and in international markets.  Independent third parties manufacture all of our products.

Our business has been impacted by several important trends affecting our end markets:

Table of Contents

·                  Recent changes in US and global economic conditions have adversely impacted businesses generally. Some of our customers have been, and more may be, adversely affected, which in turn has, and may continue to, adversely impact our financial results.

·                  The markets for casual, outdoor and athletic footwear have grown significantly during the last decade. We believe this growth is a result of the trend toward casual dress in the workplace, increasingly active outdoor lifestyles and a growing emphasis on comfort.

·                  Consumers are more often seeking footwear designed to address a broader array of activities with the same quality, comfort and high performance attributes they have come to expect from traditional athletic footwear.

·                  Our customers have narrowed their footwear product breadth, focusing on brands with a rich heritage and authenticity as market category creators and leaders.

·                  Consumers have become increasingly focused on luxury and comfort, seeking out products and brands that are fashionable while still comfortable.

·                  There is an emerging sustainable lifestyle movement happening all around the world.  Consumers are demanding that brands and companies take a more responsible approach when it comes to protecting the environment.

By emphasizing our brands’ images and our focus on comfort, performance and authenticity, we believe we can maintain a loyal consumer following that is less susceptible to fluctuations caused by changing fashions and changes in consumer preferences.

Below is an overview of the various components of our business, including some of the important factors that affect each business and some of our strategies for growing each business.

UGG Brand Overview

The UGG brand has become a well-known brand throughout the US as well as internationally.  Over the past several years, our UGG brand has received increased media exposure including increased print media in national ads and cooperative advertising with our customers, which has contributed to broader public awareness of the UGG brand and significantly increased demand for the collection.  We believe that the increased media focus and demand for UGG products were driven by the following:

·                  consumer brand loyalty, due to the luxury and comfort of UGG footwear,

·                  increased marketing in high-end magazines,

·                  successful targeting of high-end distribution,

·                  adoption by high-profile film and television celebrities as a favored footwear brand,

·                  increased media attention that has enabled us to introduce the brand to consumers much faster than we would have otherwise been able to,

·                  increased exposure to the brand driven by our concept stores which showcase all of our product offerings,

·                  continued geographic expansion across the US and internationally, and

·                  continued innovation of new product categories and styles.

We believe the luxury and comfort features of UGG products will continue to drive long-term consumer demand.  Recognizing that there is a significant fashion element to UGG footwear and that footwear fashions fluctuate, our strategy seeks to prolong the longevity of the brand by offering a broader product line suitable for wear in a variety of climates and occasions and by limiting distribution to selected higher-end retailers.  As part of this strategy we have increased our product offering, including a growing spring line, an expanded men’s line, as well as a fall line that consists of a range of luxurious collections for both genders.  These collections include: fashion collections, a variety of casual comfort collections, and cold weather offerings, as well as our Classic, Ultra, Ultimate and Slippers collections.

Teva Brand Overview

Though participation in many traditional outdoor recreational activities is on the decline, we continue to see consumer preferences shifting towards an outdoor lifestyle and to outdoor activities that can be done in a day, an afternoon, or even an hour.  Because of our Teva brand’s heritage in outdoor footwear and our continued commitment to product innovation, the brand remains popular with traditional outdoor athletes and enthusiasts.  Although sales are slightly lower than 2008, the Teva brand has held up well through the recent economic downturn and has begun to appeal to a new generation of outdoor consumers entering the market.  The Teva product line now includes a broad range of

performance and lifestyle products and price points, both open and closed toe footwear, appropriate for all seasons, for men, women and children.

We see continuing opportunity to grow the Teva brand within our core outdoor specialty and sporting goods channels of trade.  We also believe there are significant expansion opportunities into the family footwear, department store, and better footwear channels.  Through effective channel management and clear product line segmentation, we believe we can grow the Teva brand in all of these channels without alienating our core consumer or retailers in the outdoor specialty channel.  However, we cannot assure investors that these efforts will be successful.

Simple Brand Overview

The Simple brand is committed to innovation and bringing sustainable products to the market, growing the brand’s business, while at the same time bringing environmental awareness and creating meaningful, environmentally friendly products for a global market. The Simple brand is a leader in sustainable footwear and accessories.  We feel that how we make Simple products is just as important as why we make them.  That means our goal is to find more sustainable and innovative ways of doing business.  We are committed to our goal of making Simple products 100% sustainable, thus minimizing the ecological footprint left on the planet.  Green Toe®, our collection of sustainable footwear, represents a revolutionary shift in thinking about footwear by building a shoe from the inside out using sustainable materials and processes.

The progress in Green Toe has influenced the rest of the Simple product line, which has led to the development of additional product platforms, such as ecoSNEAKS®.  This product collection also uses sustainable materials such as water-based cements, certified organic cotton, British Leather Consortium (BLC) and International Standards Organization (ISO) 14001 leathers, hemp, and outsoles made from recycled car tires.  We promote our Simple brand by emphasizing that we make fashionable, youthful, functional and sustainable footwear.  Our goal is to create a dialogue with the consumer through all communication vehicles and to show people that sustainability is an emerging lifestyle for everyone, not just environmentally conscious individuals.  Our print advertising campaigns include national publications and alternative weekly publications in select cities around the world.  Our online advertising campaign reaches consumers through websites that focus on sustainability as well as popular culture.  Additionally, we sponsor environmental-themed concerts and green festivals to showcase and tell the sustainable lifestyle brand story.

Other Brands Overview

In May 2008, we acquired 100% of the ownership interest of TSUBO, LLC.  TSUBO, meaning pressure point in Japanese, is marketed as high-end casual footwear for men and women. The brand is the synthesis of ergonomics and style, with a full line of sport and dress casuals, boots, sandals and heels constructed to provide consumers with contemporary footwear that incorporates style, function and maximum comfort.  The TSUBO brand has a rich heritage with consumers in major cities around the world, who appreciate design, pay attention to detail, and will not sacrifice comfort.  We intend to build on this heritage, positioning the TSUBO brand as the premium footwear solution for people in the city, providing all day comfort, style and quality.  The TSUBO brand strives to become well known in the most important style, design, architecture, art and fashion centers around the world.  We will continue to create product addressing consumers’ unique needs: all-day comfort, innovative style and superior quality.  At the same time, we will market to the TSUBO brand consumers where they live, emphasizing regional advertising and in-market grass roots, product placement and public relations efforts.

In March 2009, we acquired 100% of the ownership interest of Ahnu, Inc.  Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Alameda, California, Ahnu is an outdoor performance and lifestyle footwear brand with products for men, women and children.  The name Ahnu is derived from the goddess of balance and well-being in Celtic mythology.  The brand focuses on balancing work and play, family and friends, and self and society.  The Ahnu brand product goal is to achieve uncompromising footwear performance by developing footwear that will provide the appropriate balance of traction, grip, flexibility, cushioning and durability for a variety of outdoor activities — whether on trails, beaches or sidewalks.  Ahnu products are sold throughout the US, primarily at outdoor specialty stores and independent shoe stores, as well as in Canada and New Zealand.

We believe that the TSUBO and Ahnu brands complement our existing portfolio of lifestyle brands, and that the TSUBO and Ahnu brands’ target consumer, product selection, industry niche and relative under-penetration in the marketplace make these brands a good fit for us. We expect to leverage our design, marketing and distribution capabilities to grow these brands into meaningful brands over the next several years, consistent with our mission to build niche brands into global market leaders.  Nevertheless, we cannot assure investors that our efforts will be successful.

eCommerce Overview

Our eCommerce business, which sells all of our primary brands, enables us to meet the growing demand for these products, sell the products at retail prices and provide significant incremental operating income.  The eCommerce business enables us to directly interact and reinforce our relationships with the consumer.  Our Teva and UGG Australia websites both won BizRate’s Circle of Excellence Platinum Awards for both 2007 and 2008.  The award recognizes online retailers with top customer satisfaction ratings.  In prior years, our eCommerce business has had significant revenue growth, much of which occurred as the UGG brand gained popularity and as consumers continued to increase usage of the internet for footwear and other purchases.

Managing our eCommerce business requires us to focus on the latest trends and techniques for web design, to generate internet traffic to our websites, to effectively convert website visits into orders, and to maximize average order sizes.  We plan to continue to grow our internet business through improved website features and performance, increased marketing and international websites. Overall, our eCommerce business benefits from the strength of our brands and, as we grow our brands over time, we expect this division to continue to be an important segment of our business.  Nevertheless, we cannot assure investors that eCommerce sales will grow at their prior pace or that revenue from our eCommerce business will not continue to decline.

Retail Stores Overview

Since spring 2008, we have opened seven new retail stores: six concept stores (San Francisco, New York City, Beijing, Tokyo, and two in London) and one retail outlet store in New Jersey.  As of June 30, 2009, we have a total of 14 retail stores worldwide.  Continuing to build on the success of our existing UGG Australia stores, in the second half of 2009, we plan to open two additional domestic stores including a retail outlet in the Desert Hills Premium Outlets in Cabazon, California and an UGG brand concept store in Honolulu, Hawaii.  Internationally, our stores in the UK and China were successful in their first holiday season.  For the second half of 2009, we plan to continue to expand internationally by opening two new stores.

In July 2008, we entered into a joint venture agreement with an affiliate of Stella International Holdings Limited for the opening of retail stores and wholesale distribution for the UGG brand in China.  Under this agreement, we opened our first UGG Australia concept store in Beijing in December 2008.  The joint venture is owned 51% by Deckers.

Our retail stores enable us to directly impact our customers’ experience, meet the growing demand for these products, sell the products at retail prices and provide us with incremental annual operating income.  In addition, our UGG Australia concept stores allow us to showcase our entire line; whereas, a retailer may not carry the whole line.

Seasonality

Our business is seasonal, with the highest percentage of UGG brand net sales occurring in the third and fourth quarters of each year and the highest percentage of Teva brand net sales occurring in the first and second quarters.  To date, our other brands have not had a seasonal impact on the Company.

Table of Contents

* Included in income (loss) from operations in the second quarter of 2008 is a $14,900 impairment loss on our Teva trademarks.  Included in the fourth quarter of 2008 is a $20,925 impairment loss on our Teva trademarks, Teva goodwill, and TSUBO goodwill.  Included in the second quarter of 2009 is a $1,000 impairment loss on our TSUBO trademarks.

With the dramatic growth in the UGG brand in recent years, combined with the introduction of a fall Teva product line, net sales in the last half of the year have exceeded that for the first half of the year.  Given our expectations for each of our brands in 2009, we currently expect this trend to continue.  Nonetheless, actual results could differ materially depending upon the economic environment, consumer preferences, availability of product, competition and our customers continuing to carry and promote our various product lines, among other risks and uncertainties.  See Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”
