Crocs, Inc.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, except as described below.

Government actions and regulations, such as export restrictions, tariffs, and other trade protection measures could adversely affect our business.

We, similar to many other companies with overseas operations, source, import, and sell products in other countries that have been impacted, and could continue to be impacted, by changes to the trade policies of the U.S. and foreign countries (including governmental action related to tariffs, international trade agreements, trade restrictions, or economic sanctions). Such changes, which are out of our control, have the potential to adversely impact our industry and the global demand for our products, and as a result, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

For example, in April 2025, the United States (“U.S.”) has imposed a minimum 10% tariff on most foreign imports into the U.S. and additional individualized reciprocal tariffs on imports from certain countries, including, most relevant to us, an additional 125% tariff on all imports from China for a total incremental tariff of 145% and an additional 46%, 32%, 26%, and 49% tariff on all imports from Vietnam, Indonesia, India, and Cambodia, respectively. Other than imports from China, which represented approximately 22% of our sourcing to the U.S. during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and which we estimate to decrease on an average basis for the year ending December 31, 2025, these tariffs were subsequently suspended on April 9, 2025, for 90 days in order to facilitate negotiations and were superseded at that time by the additional 10% tariff. A predominant portion of the products we sell are originally manufactured in countries other than the U.S., such as Vietnam, Indonesia, China, India, and Cambodia. These tariffs will increase the cost of certain products and negatively impact our results of operations. Furthermore, we may not be able to increase prices for our products enough to offset tariffs, which could impact our margins. If we raise prices in response to tariffs, the demand for our products may go down, which could have a negative impact on our sales. At this time, it remains unclear what additional actions, if any, will be taken by the U.S. or other governments with respect to international trade agreements, the imposition of additional tariffs on goods imported into the U.S., tax policy related to international commerce, increased export control, sanctions and investment restrictions, or other trade matters. Although the ultimate scope and timing of any such actions is currently indeterminable, if implemented, they could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations. The ultimate impact of any tariffs will depend on various factors, including the extent and duration of the tariffs and how other countries respond to the U.S. tariffs.

Other effects of these changes, including impacts on the price of raw materials, responsive or retaliatory actions from governments, such as retaliatory tariffs on imports into these countries from the U.S. and the opportunity for competitors not subject to such changes to establish a presence in markets where we participate, could also have significant impacts on our results of operations, though whether any of the foregoing actions will be taken remains unclear. The resulting effect on general economic conditions and on our business as a result of increases in prices for goods we import or our suppliers and vendors purchase to produce these items that we acquire through our supply chain are uncertain and depend on various factors, such as negotiations between the U.S. and affected countries, the responses of other countries or regions, exemptions or exclusions that may be granted, availability and cost of alternative sources of supply, and demand for our products. We cannot predict what further action may be taken with respect to export restrictions, tariffs or trade relations between the U.S. and other governments, and any further changes in U.S. or international trade policy could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Furthermore, tariffs or other trade restrictions may lead to continuing uncertainty and volatility in U.S. and global financial and economic conditions and markets, declining consumer confidence, significant inflation and diminished expectations for the economy, and ultimately reduced demand for our products. Such conditions could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, and cash flows. For instance, the fair values of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are sensitive to the aforementioned potential unfavorable changes, which could result in the recognition of an impairment charge should the fair values of these assets fall below the carrying values. Also, disruptions and volatility in the financial markets may lead to adverse changes in the availability, terms, and cost of capital. Such adverse changes could increase our costs of capital and limit our access to external financing sources to fund acquisitions, capital projects, or refinancing of debt maturities on similar terms, which could in turn reduce our cash flows and limit our ability to pursue growth opportunities.
