Crocs

(CROX) - Get Report

During the quarter, the footwear maker earned $25 million, or 28 cents a share, compared with $22.1 million, or 25 cents, in the year-ago period.

Excluding one-time items, Crocs actually earned 25 cents a share, a penny better than estimates.

Crocs revenue surged 22% to $215.6 million, ahead of forecasts of $205.8 million.

Shares in Crocs are falling more than 7% after-hours, after gaining nearly 5% to end the day at $14.80.
