Deckers Outdoor Corporation DECK has outlined an ambitious multi-year growth framework through fiscal 2030, reinforcing confidence in the long-term potential of its brand portfolio. The strategy is built around the continued strength of its flagship brands, HOKA and UGG, which have delivered consistent growth through product innovation, strong consumer demand and disciplined marketplace execution.
A key pillar of the framework is the company’s expectation for high-single-digit annual consolidated revenue growth through fiscal 2030. Management expects HOKA to maintain low-double-digit annual growth, supported by category-defining performance innovation, expanding lifestyle appeal and broader global reach. UGG is projected to grow at a mid-single-digit rate as it continues to evolve beyond its traditional seasonal roots and strengthen its position as a premium lifestyle brand.
Deckers also sees significant opportunities across channels and geographies. Direct-to-consumer sales are expected to grow faster than wholesale, while international markets are anticipated to outpace growth in the United States. The company plans to invest strategically in product development, localized brand marketing, digital capabilities and technology initiatives, including the responsible use of artificial intelligence to improve efficiency, consumer acquisition and engagement.
Supporting this growth strategy is a focus on maintaining strong profitability. Deckers aims to preserve industry-leading operating margins through disciplined marketplace management, high levels of full-price selling and operational excellence. The company expects benefits from ongoing investments to create operating expense leverage over time.
In addition, Deckers remains committed to shareholder returns through robust free cash flow generation and continued share repurchases. Management expects these efforts, combined with sustained revenue growth, to drive low-double-digit annual earnings-per-share growth between fiscal 2028 and 2030, highlighting the durability of its long-term growth model.
