create and mold the burgeoning surf lifestyle marketplace. Surfers and casual sandal wearers alike loved Deckers flips for their durability and ergonomic comfort. The Deckers Brand was so successful and Doug so entrepreneurial that he began acquiring a number of other brands, like Simple Shoes, UGG® Australia and eventually Teva. This new brand collective needed an umbrella name, so the Deckers Brand morphed into Deckers Outdoor Corp, going public on the NASDAQ in 1993. By 1994 the original Deckers Brand was being over shadowed by the other brands and the decision was made to put the Deckers Brand in hibernation in order to stay focused. In June of 2008 the Deckers Brand was reintroduced into the market place with strength and purpose. Foregoing brick and mortar distribution, the Deckers Brand opted for an exclusively online distribution model. Deckersbrand.com now offers free domestic shipping, free domestic return shipping and a 100% lifetime guarantee. Deckers Outdoor Corporation is proud to once again offer innovative products under the brand name that started it all. Each of the four lines, as well as individual models within these lines, is designed to appeal to various demographic groups. The Company's footwear products emphasize function, comfort and technical performance, and are suitable for a variety of demanding outdoor and athletic activities, as well as casual and everyday use. Deckers products are designed and marketed to promote a high level of brand name recognition and consumer appeal by combining functional and creative designs with quality materials and construction. The Teva footwear and the Simple footwear lines are generally previewed twice per year, once in the summer for deliveries that commence in the fall and once in the winter for the following back to school and fall season. The UGG® line of sheepskin footwear has historically previewed in the winter with most deliveries occurring in the following fall and winter. Beginning in 2006, UGG® is expanding the line to include footwear for spring and summer.

UGG sales boost Deckers Q3

* Q3 EPS $1.07 vs est 93/shr

* Q3 rev up 22 pct, beats est

* Shares up 6 pct after-mkt

Oct 28 (Reuters) - UGG boots maker Deckers Outdoor Corp (DECK) topped third-quarter estimates on Thursday as demand for its popular sheepskin boots remained strong, prompting the company to raise its full-year outlook.

Shares of the company rose 6 percent after market.

UGG boots have been the chief growth driver for Deckers for some time now, with wholesale sales of UGG typically making up about 80 percent of its total sales in the third quarter.

An unusually warm weather has been a cause for worry for many retailers, causing fewer sales of fall merchandise, but most analysts have said retailers have not cut back on stocks of the Australian sheepskin-and-fleece boots.

"We plan to increase our investment in the UGG brand to bring our brand spend... up to be more in line with premium global brands," Chief Executive Angel Martinez said on a conference call with analysts.

The company recently tied up with high-fashion brand Jimmy Choo to sell upmarket designer UGGs at stores like Bergdorf Goodman [NMRCUS.UL] and Harrod's.

Net sales at the company, whose rivals include Skechers USA Inc (SKX.N) and Timberland (TBL.N), rose 21.7 percent to $277.9 million. UGG sales rose 20.2 percent, chiefly due to a rise in global shipments of fall products.

The Goleta, California-based company now expects full-year revenue to rise some 16 percent, compared with its earlier view of 14 percent.

It expects earnings to rise 22 percent compared with its earlier view of about a 16 percent rise.

Deckers, which also owns the Teva, Tsubo and Simple brands, said it earned $42.1 million, or $1.07 a share,

Page 5: DECKERS OUTDOOR CORPORATION NASDAQ:DECK

compared with analyst estimates of 93 cents a share.

Analysts were expecting revenue of $265.00 million, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

The company also reiterated its fourth-quarter view. [ID:ASA00X8Y]

Deckers shares have risen about 4 percent since it reported second-quarter results in July. They were up at $56.77 after market. They closed at $53.99 Thursday on Nasdaq.

Deckers Outdoor Corporation Addresses Consumer Brand Confusion

-- Trade Dress Suit Filed Against Romeo & Juliet, Inc. --

GOLETA, Calif., Nov 08, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Deckers Outdoor Corporation (NASDAQGS: DECK) filed suit today in United States District Court in the Central District of California against Tom Romeo and Romeo & Juliette, Inc. d/b/a Bearpaw, Inc. seeking a Court order to stop them from copying the trade dress design of several UGG(R) boots.

According to Angel Martinez, Deckers Chairman and CEO, "UGG(R) Australia's success has fueled an entire industry of knock-off products like Bearpaw. Bearpaw is misleading consumers and creating significant brand confusion by repeatedly copying our designs, but using inferior materials, constructions and craftsmanship."

Deckers has been manufacturing and selling UGG(R) Australia boots since purchasing the company from Brian Smith, an Australian who had a love for surfing and saw the value in bringing to market a high-quality brand of sheepskin boots that surfers could wear after a long day in the cold water. UGG(R) Australia was first distributed in the U.S. in 1978; at the time of acquisition in 1995, sales of the brand were $17 million.

In the fifteen years since, UGG(R) Australia has expanded both its production and distribution dramatically, adding new products and new lines, including a broad assortment of footwear, outerwear, handbags and accessories, and opening 25 company-owned UGG(R) Australia retail stores worldwide. With sales in 2010 expected to exceed $800 million, UGG(R) Australia has been recognized as one of the biggest success stories in the footwear industry in recent decades.

Martinez adds, "The strong bond between UGG(R) Australia and its retail customers and consumers goes beyond commerce; it's about trust. That trust is our most important asset, and it's based on an unerring consistency in product quality and branding as well as a commitment to evolve the brand continuously and smartly. Knock-off companies and counterfeiters are confusing the consumers and betraying their trust."

Deckers Outdoor Corporation strives to be a premier lifestyle marketer that builds niche brands into global market leaders by designing and marketing innovative, functional and fashion-oriented footwear developed for both high performance outdoor activities and everyday casual lifestyle use. Teva(R), Simple(R) ïEUR Shoes, UGG(R) Australia, TSUBO(R), Ahnu(R) and Mozo(R) brands are registered trademarks of Deckers Outdoor Corporation.
