Impact from war in the Middle East: Andrew Rees, CEO and director at Crocs, spoke during its earnings call briefly about added uncertainty attributed to “the war in the Middle East” as the U.S. and Israel’s war against Iran continues.

“As of today, it’s too early to fully quantify the impact,” Rees stated. “However, we see this affecting Crocs in three ways: One, reduction of revenues from our Middle East distributor business, which has been contemplated within our annual guidance. Two, increased raw material and transportation costs associated with elevated oil prices. And three, a broader impact to the global macro economy, which is uncertain at this time.”
