Andrew Rees, Crocs chief executive, said: “A strong 2021 holiday season completed a very successful year for our brand. We achieved incredible results with record revenues of $2.3 billion, 67% revenue growth and industry-leading 30% operating margin. Our fourth straight year of revenue growth was fuelled by continued strong consumer demand for the Crocs brand globally.”
