Thank you. Thanks for joining us this afternoon as we discuss our second quarter results. I’m joined by Jeff Lasher, Chief Financial Officer. After I share few opening comments, Jeff will review our second quarter financial results and provide further detail on our guidance.
Before we jump into review of the quarter, I’d like to review a few of the key points we shared with many of you during our Institutional Analyst Day in late May. This is an opportunity for us to the discuss in detail how the Crocs brand has evolved from one iconic product into a true casual lifestyle footwear brand by diversifying into other relevant categories such as sneakers,
100 Authentic Womens Jordan 11 Georgetown Right Version For You, flats, boot, sandals to name a few.
Typical to our global expansion as a casual lifestyle footwear brand is product innovation. This will help drive balance, challenge geographic growth as we focus on the identical long term growth drivers we discussed at last year’s Analyst Day.
These four organic growth drivers are as follows; 1) sustained growth in all regions,
Buy Online Cheap Jordan 11 Georgetown Provides Various 50% Off; 2) products driven with the ASP expansion; 3) wholesale expansion; and 4) investments in our direct consumer channel in retail and the Internet.
We are halfway through the year and are very pleased with where we are today in a far more difficult environment than 2011, we are on track to deliver a third straight solid year of top line growth driven by global Omni channel operations.
The new products in marketing campaigns are driving new consumers to the brand. All this coupled with strong management of the business. We have exceeded our EPS targets as we delivered on our commitment to profitable growth to our shareholder.
Now to the second quarter, sales increased 12% to an all time record $331 million. This was achieved through three of the four growth drivers,
Welcome To Our Online Georgetown 11s With Superior Quality, I just listed. New products with higher ASPs, wholesale growth and the expansion of a consumer direct channel.
[Realized] sales fell short of our expectation and this came primarily from the inability to drive growth in all regions with the European market becoming increasingly more challenging over the past couple month.
In addition, sales growth in a US retail stores fell short of our expectations in the second quarter. While we’re disappointed,
Low Price Jordan 11 Georgetown Low Fast Delivery To Your Door, sales were slightly below plans, I am pleased with the restraint we showed in limiting discounts,

That’s not to say we won’t be promotional at times, we’ll continue to utilize this lever going forward. However, our plan is to be more strategic in slow end of life product throughout (inaudible) price channels market in a manner that has had the least impact to the bottom line and it doesn’t damage the brand’s image.
Getting back to what drove sales in the second quarter starting with new products. We continue to see our commitment to innovation pay off in newer collections of wedges,

Styles Of Cheap Jordan 11 Georgetown Low Is a Good Choice For You, sneakers,
Buy Authentic Jordan 11 Georgetown Low Running Shoes For Cheap, boat shoes and flats. Most of which in aggregate carry higher price points. In the second quarter more than 54% of the volume came from new styles and non clog products, well less than 46% was generated by clogs. This trend should continue in the back half of the year has boots and other new colder weather products increase as the percentage of our overall mix.
Wholesale expansion came from a combination of higher pre books and an increase in (inaudible) driven by demand for a new spring summer product lines. This year the breakdown between pre books and [out ones] was approximately 80% and 20% respectively compared to 77% and 23% respectively last year.
In US, we continued to gain momentum shelf space from a family footwear channel and mid tier department stores, which have emerged over the past years as the brand’s sweet spot.
In Asia,
How Much Are The Georgetown 11s Good Quality And Fast Shipping, we were acceptance of new stuff is consistently outpaced our other regions, wholesale gains are primarily coming from Japan, China, and throughout the Middle East were our distributor partners continue to aggressively open wholesale accounts as well as their own stores.
And finally the economic situation in Europe has made it more difficult to turn around this one sizeable business, and the recent wet weather in several key markets has compounded our issues in the second quarter.
With that said, we are optimistic that our current efforts to rebuild key wholesale relationships to a more complete product offering and improved execution, will yield positive gains beginning next year.
Turning to our direct to consumer business, retail sales increased 23% over a year ago, fueled by the addition of 87 net new locations over the past 12 months. Over this period, we have closed 21 kiosks, including three in the second quarter, as we are focused on opening larger,

Year to date, we have opened a net of zero net retail locations in the United States,
Real Cheap Georgetown 11s Lower Price, 35 in Asia, and 19 in Europe, and we remain on track to open 100 net new locations in 2012.
With regard to comps,
Great Deals On Jordan 11 Georgetown Womens/Mens Free Shipping, as we expected, our momentum slowed from the first quarter due to the Easter shift in the United States, and the warm start to the season,
Cheap Authentic Mens Jordan 11 Georgetown Low More Than 60% Off, which we believe pulled some sales [forward] out of Q2, versus our expectations, comp sales were a little light in the Americas region as I mentioned.
Looking at the Americas region, comps for the first six months, which we think is a more accurate picture of the channel’s recent performance are up 3%. Asian comps continue to outperform the company average of 7%, while Europe was up 13%, which is a very encouraging trend,
