"Our record third-quarter performance was propelled by demand across the Ugg brand's diversified product offering and the continued global expansion of the Hoka One One brand," said Dave Powers, president and chief executive officer, in a press release. 

"The performance of our brands was primarily driven by our robust e-commerce engine and the resilience displayed by our teams to overcome significant operational and macro challenges related to the pandemic. With our strong portfolio of brands, stable operating model, and powerful balance sheet, Deckers is well positioned for continued success."

Deckers said approximately 75% of its global stores were open for the entire third quarter.

The company's cash and cash equivalents were reported at $1.157 billion. 

During the third quarter, the company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock. Deckers said that while it had to pause share repurchase activity at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, it intends to recommence share repurchase under the existing outstanding authorization in future periods.

As the pandemic continues, the company said it will not be providing full year guidance for fiscal year 2021.

"The company continues to modify and evolve its operations in response to the Covid-19 pandemic," Deckers said.

"The company will continue to review expert agency guidelines, as well as information from health officials and local authorities, while assessing and evolving the appropriate scope of operations and allocation of resources necessary to navigate this dynamic and unprecedented environment."
