Deckers Brands raised its sales outlook for fiscal 2025, boosted by the momentum of its Hoka and UGG brands.

The conglomerate of brands on Thursday said it now expects full-year sales of $4.9 billion, up from a prior guidance of $4.8 billion. Wall Street expected revenue of $4.93 billion for fiscal 2025 ending March 31.

"Our increased full-year revenue outlook calls for 15% growth, which would be our fifth consecutive year growing mid-teens or higher," Chief Executive Stefano Caroti said.

Shares fall 16% to $186 in post-market trading. Through Thursday's close, the stock has surged 73% over the past 12 months.

Deckers also raised its full-year per-share earnings outlook to $5.75 to $5.80 from $5.15 to $5.25 previously.

Deckers' outlook follows strong momentum from its core Hoka and UGG brands.

The company posted a net profit for the three months ended Dec. 31 of $456.7 million, or $3 a share, compared with $389.9 million, or $2.52 a share, for the same period a year earlier.

The company increased its selling and general expenses to $535.4 million from $428.7 million a year ago.

Sales jumped 17% to $1.83 billion, beating the $1.73 billion expected by Wall Street, according to FactSet.

Deckers Brands said UGG saw sales growth of 16% to $1.24 billion, with Hoka recording a 24% jump in sales to $530.9 million.
