Ron Snyder, president and CEO of Crocs, Inc. commented, “Our strong first quarter performance was driven by the growing worldwide demand for our entire portfolio of products. Domestically, we benefited from robust sell through of our Crocs footwear, including our new spring/summer collection, in addition to our new licensed and Jibbitz businesses. At the same time, our international business continues to rapidly expand fueled by sales of our classic models, as well as our more recent introductions. We are pleased with our start to 2007 and we remain extremely optimistic about the many growth opportunities that lie ahead as evidenced by our heightened outlook for the year.”
