Crocs (CROX) Earnings: Q3 2026 Results

The quarter ended September 30, 2026 and Crocs published the results on October 29, 2026. Revenue and diluted EPS are shown against Q3 2025, the same quarter a year earlier, which takes seasonal swings out of the comparison. Crocs reports EPS two ways: GAAP, under the accounting rules every US filer follows, and adjusted diluted, which leaves out items the company considers outside its operating results. The release reconciles the two, and when they diverge, the reconciliation says why.

• GAAP gross profit includes $64.1 million of IEEPA tariff refunds, which followed the February 20, 2026 U.S. Supreme Court ruling. Crocs calls them non-recurring and excludes them from adjusted results.
• The release reports in thousands; this page shows millions.

How Crocs splits revenue in its own release, under its own labels, for Q3 2026 against Q3 2025. Indented lines are parts of the line above them.

• Crocs's Crocs Brand revenue was $873 million in Q3 2026, up 4% from $836 million in Q3 2025, 84% of total revenue.
• Crocs's HEYDUDE Brand revenue was $170 million in Q3 2026, up 6% from $160 million in Q3 2025, 16% of total revenue.

Segment lines are the figures writers cite most often, because they show where the growth in a quarter came from. Companies redraw their segments from time to time and restate the prior year to match, so a year-ago figure here can differ from the one printed a year ago. When that has happened, the note above says so.

We do not hold a confirmed date for Crocs's next report. Companies post the date on their investor relations site a few weeks ahead, usually with the time of the conference call.

Each quarter keeps its own page with the figures as reported, so a link to one stays pointed at the same numbers after the next report.

• Q3 2026 (this page), reported Oct 29, 2026

Crocs sells two footwear brands. In Q3 2026 the Crocs Brand, built around clogs, sandals and Jibbitz charms, brought in $872.7 million, up 4.4%, and HEYDUDE, whose loafers, sneakers and boots sell mostly in North America, brought in $169.9 million, up 6.1%. Consolidated revenues rose 4.6% to $1,042.6 million, on a reported and constant currency basis. (Crocs Q3 2026 release, Oct 29, 2026; Crocs Form 10-K, 2025, Feb 12, 2026)

Crocs' 10-Q splits the 4.6% revenue increase by driver: higher unit sales volume in both brands added $37.6 million, or 3.8%, and a higher average selling price, driven by the Crocs Brand, added $9.0 million, or 0.9%, while exchange rates were about flat. (Crocs Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 29, 2026)

Crocs Brand international revenues rose 11.8% to $434.4 million, with international direct-to-consumer up 24.1%, while North America fell 2.1% to $438.4 million and North America wholesale fell 4.9%. The release says North America DTC includes an approximate (2.7%) effect from a business model change Crocs began implementing during the quarter. (Crocs Q3 2026 release, Oct 29, 2026)

HEYDUDE wholesale revenues rose 14.0% to $79.1 million, while its direct-to-consumer revenues were flat at $90.8 million, up 0.1%. Across both brands, DTC revenues grew 6.9% and wholesale 1.8%. (Crocs Q3 2026 release, Oct 29, 2026)

Crocs' GAAP diluted EPS of $4.52 was higher than its adjusted EPS of $3.69 in Q3 2026 because GAAP gross profit includes $64.1 million of IEEPA tariff refunds, following the February 20, 2026 Supreme Court ruling that struck down tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Crocs treats the refunds as non-recurring. GAAP gross margin was 66.2%; adjusted gross margin was 60.3%, up 180 basis points from 58.5%. (Crocs Q3 2026 release, Oct 29, 2026; Crocs Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 29, 2026)

Adjusted results also add back $3.1 million of distribution center transition costs, including the move away from a third-party logistics provider for HEYDUDE, and about $1.1 million of SG&A from cost savings initiatives. Adjusted income from operations rose 11.7% to $232 million, an adjusted operating margin of 22.3% against 20.8%. The effective tax rate was 21.9% against 23.0%. (Crocs Q3 2026 release, Oct 29, 2026; Crocs Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 29, 2026)

Crocs' diluted weighted average shares fell to 47,954 thousand from 53,989 thousand a year earlier. Crocs repurchased about 2.0 million shares for $250.0 million in the quarter at an average price of $123.32, and about $1.7 billion of authorization remained at quarter-end. (Crocs Q3 2026 release, Oct 29, 2026)

Diluted EPS divides net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the quarter, plus the shares that options and other equity awards could add. Buybacks shrink that count and lift EPS for the same profit; share issuance and stock awards enlarge it.

Crocs gives a quarterly and full-year outlook in its release, and raised its full-year 2026 outlook for the third time. It now expects 2026 revenues up about 3% from 2025, from 1% to 2% before, with the Crocs Brand up about 4% and HEYDUDE about flat, and adjusted diluted EPS of $14.45 to $14.65, from $13.70 to $14.00. (Crocs Q3 2026 release, Oct 29, 2026)

For Q4 2026, Crocs expects revenues up about 7% to 9%, with the Crocs Brand up 6% to 8% and HEYDUDE up 10% to 12%, an adjusted operating margin of about 20.5% and adjusted diluted EPS of $3.25 to $3.45. Neither EPS range assumes future share repurchases, and the 2026 outlook includes a non-GAAP net benefit of $40 million, primarily from tariff refunds and cost reductions. (Crocs Q3 2026 release, Oct 29, 2026)

A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover Crocs, collected by a data provider and revised up to the day of the report. A quarter that lands above it says how expectations were set as much as how the business did, and the share price on the day also reflects the guidance and the lines no consensus covers.

The consensus figures on this page are Yahoo Finance's, as pulled on the date shown. Each comes with the number of analysts behind it; the smaller that number, the more one revised estimate can move the average.

The figures below are the ones Crocs's own release and filings put weight on for Q3 2026, with the latest reported value for each.

What the quarter means for a holding is a separate question from what it reported. The case for and against owning CROX is on is CROX a buy or a sell?, what analysts expect next is on the CROX forecast, and what the company does is on the Crocs (CROX) stock page.

Every number on this page can be traced to a document Crocs published. Checking one takes a couple of minutes, and it is worth doing before you quote a figure anywhere.

• The results release is the document linked in the source line above. Companies publish it on their investor relations site at the moment results go out, and it carries the headline tables: revenue, operating income, net income and EPS for the quarter and the year-ago quarter.
• The same release is filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 8-K under Item 2.02, usually on the day of the report. The SEC copy does not change after the fact, which makes it the safer thing to link when you cite a number.
• The quarterly report (Form 10-Q) follows within a few weeks and carries the full financial statements, the segment note and management's discussion of what changed. The fourth quarter is covered by the annual report (Form 10-K) instead.
• Restated comparisons are flagged in the notes on this page. When a company redraws its segments or changes how it adjusts EPS, it restates the year-ago column, so the year-ago figure in a new release can differ from the one printed a year ago. This page always uses the comparison in the newer release, because that is the like-for-like one.
