Total revenue went up by 10.1 percent to $1,557 million, with increases of 0.8 percent for Teva, 9.7 percent for Ugg and 8.2 percent for Sanuk. Other brands, including Hoka One One, which is expanding into the running specialty channel, grew by 110.1 percent to $7.4 million. Higher sales to international distributors contributed to sales increase of 13.6 percent for Teva and 45.2 percent for Sanuk in the fourth quarter. The total order backlog was up by 24 percent at year-end, but the management predicts a sales increase of only about 10 percent and a profit increase of 8 percent for this year. The company plans to change its fiscal year-end from Dec. 31 to March 31 to reflect the seasonality of its products (more in Shoe Intelligence and The Outdoor Industry Compass).
