Exhibit 99.4

Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of HEYDUDE, a privately-owned casual footwear business (“HEYDUDE”). On February 17, 2022 (the “Acquisition Date”), Crocs, Inc. (“Crocs” or the “Company”) completed its acquisition of HEYDUDE, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of December 22, 2021, by and among (i) the Company; (ii) Full Fortune Wealth Limited, a company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong (“HK Seller”); (iii) Mr. Daniele Guidi (“US Seller” and, together with HK Seller, “Sellers”, and each individually, a “Seller”); (iv) Full Fortune Intellectual Limited, a company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong (“FF Intellectual”); (v) Full Fortune Worldwide Limited, a company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong (“FF Worldwide”); (vi) Full Fortune Online Limited, a company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong (“FF Online” and collectively with FF Intellectual and FF Worldwide the “HK Acquired Companies”); (vii) Happy One LLC, a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Nevada (“Happy One”); (viii) Lucky Top Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (“Lucky Top” and together with Happy One, the “US Acquired Companies”); (ix) Mr. Alessandro Rosano (“Guarantor”); and (x) HK Seller, in its capacity as representative and agent for Sellers. The HK Acquired Companies and the US Acquired Companies together make up HEYDUDE. Crocs acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of each of the HK Acquired Companies and the US Acquired Companies for cash consideration of $2,038.0 million and issued 2,852,280 shares of the Company’s common stock to the HK Seller (“the Equity Consideration Shares”).
The aggregate preliminary purchase price at the closing of the Acquisition was $2,316.8 million. We paid aggregate consideration of $2,050.0 million in cash, subject to adjustment based on, among other things, the cash, indebtedness, transaction expenses, and working capital of the companies comprising HEYDUDE and their respective subsidiaries as of the Acquisition Date, and issued 2,852,280 shares of the Company’s common stock to one of the sellers. The Equity Consideration Shares are subject to a lock-up period beginning on the Acquisition Date and continuing to, and including, the date that is 12 months after the Acquisition Date, provided that (a) on the date that is six months after the Acquisition Date, 50% of the Equity Consideration Shares will be released from the lock-up, and (b) on the date that is twelve months after the Acquisition Date, the remaining 50% of the Equity Consideration Shares will be released from the lock-up. The Cash Consideration was financed via the Company’s entry into a new $2.0 billion term loan B credit facility and $50.0 million of borrowings under the Company’s existing revolving credit facility. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information gives effect to the Acquisition and the additional debt incurred to fund the Acquisition. The preliminary closing price is subject to adjustment due to net working capital settlements.

The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations and balance sheet were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations, with Crocs considered as the accounting acquirer and HEYDUDE as the accounting acquiree. Accordingly, consideration paid by Crocs to complete the Acquisition has been allocated to identifiable assets and assumed liabilities of HEYDUDE based on estimated fair values as of the closing date of the Acquisition. Management made a preliminary allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the information available. The finalization of the purchase accounting assessment may result in changes to the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which could be material. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments related to the allocation of consideration transferred are preliminary and have been presented solely for the purpose of providing the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations and balance sheet in the Current Report on Form 8-K/A. Management expects to finalize the accounting for the business combination as soon as practicable within the measurement period in accordance with ASC 805, but in no event later than one year from February 17, 2022.

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet gives effect to the Acquisition, related borrowings, and equity issuance as if each had been consummated on December 31, 2021 and includes pro forma adjustments based on Crocs’ management’s preliminary purchase price allocation. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet combines Crocs’ audited historical consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 with the unaudited historical, as adjusted, combined balance sheet of HEYDUDE as of December 31, 2021. The unaudited historical, as adjusted, combined balance sheet of HEYDUDE was prepared based on combining the audited historical combined balance sheet of the US Acquired Companies as of December 31, 2021, with the unaudited combined historical balance sheet of the HK Acquired Companies as of December 31, 2021, adjusted for reclassifications and eliminations.
The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 gives effect to the Acquisition, related borrowing, and equity issuance as if each had been consummated on January 1, 2021 and combines Crocs’ audited historical consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, with HEYDUDE’s unaudited



historical, as adjusted, combined statement of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. The unaudited historical, as adjusted, combined statement of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, of HEYDUDE was prepared based on combining the audited historical combined statement of operations of the US Acquired Companies for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 with the unaudited historical combined statement of operations of the HK Acquired Companies for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, adjusted for reclassifications and eliminations.

The audited historical combined statement of operations of the HK Acquired Companies was prepared based on its fiscal year end of March 31, 2021. Because the year-end differs from Crocs’ fiscal year end by more than 93 days, the HK Acquired Companies’ financial information is required to be adjusted to a period within 93 days of Crocs’ fiscal year end. For the purposes of preparing the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the HK Acquired Companies’ unaudited combined statement of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 was derived by adding the historical audited combined statement of comprehensive income for the twelve months ended March 31, 2021 to the unaudited combined statement of comprehensive income for the nine months ended December 31, 2021, and deducting the historical unaudited combined statement of comprehensive income for the nine months ended December 31, 2020.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements presented below are derived from and should be read in conjunction with (i) the Company’s historical audited consolidated financial statements, and the related notes thereto, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021; (ii) the audited combined financial statements of the HK Acquired Companies as of and for the year ended March 31, 2021, which are attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K/A; (iii) the audited combined financial statements of the US Acquired Companies as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, which are attached as Exhibit 99.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K/A; and (iv) the unaudited interim combined financial statements of the HK Acquired Companies as of and for the nine months ended December 31, 2021, which are attached as Exhibit 99.3 to the Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with Regulation S-X Article 11, “Pro Forma Financial Information,” as amended by the final rule, “Amendments to Financial Disclosures About Acquired and Disposed Businesses,” as adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 21, 2020 (“Article 11”) and is presented in U.S. dollars. Crocs is providing the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements for illustrative purposes only and such pro forma information does not represent the consolidated results or financial position of Crocs had the Acquisition been completed as of the dates indicated. The companies may have performed differently had they been combined during the periods presented. Specifically, the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies, revenue enhancements or restructuring costs that the combined company may achieve or incur as a result of the Acquisition. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies actually been combined during the periods presented. Further, the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements.

Note 1. Basis of Pro Forma Preparation

In order to derive the unaudited historical, as adjusted, combined financial statements of HEYDUDE, Crocs has combined the audited historical combined financial statements of the US Acquired Companies and the unaudited historical combined financial statements of the HK Acquired Companies, as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, adjusted for reclassifications and eliminations. The reclassifications are necessary to present HEYDUDE’s financial statements consistent with Crocs’ financial statement presentation. Accordingly, $0.3 million of amounts due to related parties was reclassified into accrued expenses and other liabilities related to the HK Acquired Companies, as Crocs does not have a financial statement line item for amounts due to related parties. The eliminations are necessary to remove the effect of transactions between the US Acquired Companies and HK Acquired Companies. The US Acquired Companies and the HK Acquired Companies are being presented separately here, with the combined adjusted total being presented in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements.

Accounting Policies and Accounting Framework Conversion

The accounting policies used in the preparation of these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are those set out in Crocs’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Certain adjustments have been made to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements to conform HEYDUDE’s historical, as adjusted, financial statement presentation to Crocs’ financial statement presentation. As a result of this process, it was determined that a Right-of-Use (“ROU”) asset and corresponding operating lease liability should be recognized in accordance with ASC 842 – Leases (“ASC 842”) for leases held by HEYDUDE that were not historically recognized in accordance with ASC 842. Accordingly, a $2.8 million dollar ROU asset and corresponding current and long-term operating lease liability for the same amount was recorded to recognize the historical HEYDUDE leases in accordance with ASC 842.

During preparation of the unaudited pro forma combined financial information, Crocs management has performed a preliminary analysis and is not aware of any material differences other than the pro forma reclassifications detailed within this footnote. Accordingly, this unaudited pro forma combined financial information assumes no material differences in accounting policies between the companies, except for those discussed above.

Note 2. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The Acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized based upon their estimated fair values at the Acquisition Date, under ASC 805.

The fair values of the assets and liabilities in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are based upon a preliminary assessment of fair value and may change when the final valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and working capital settlements are made. Crocs expects to finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the Acquisition Date. Assuming the Acquisition was consummated on December 31, 2021. the preliminary closing price for HEYDUDE would be $2,412.2 million, comprising of $2,038.0 million in cash paid to the sellers at the time of close, $8.5 million held back and reserved for working capital adjustments to the purchase price expected to be paid to the sellers, and $365.7 million in Crocs’ equity, based on 2,852,280 shares issued and the closing stock price on December 31, 2021.

Based on December 31, 2021 financial information, Crocs estimated total Acquisition consideration and the preliminary allocation of fair value to the related assets and liabilities as follows (in thousands):

Note 3. Unaudited Pro Forma Adjustments to the Combined Financial Statements

The pro forma adjustments are based on Crocs’ preliminary estimates and assumptions that are subject to change with respect to the final purchase price and allocation thereof. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation is considered preliminary and may materially change before final determination. The changes would affect the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The following adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as if the Acquisition occurred on December 31, 2021 and in the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations as if the Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2021.

A. Adjustment to reflect the cash received from borrowings under the Company’s existing revolving credit facility and the Company’s new term loan B credit facility, net of issuance costs and debt discount, offset by the cash paid for the acquisition of HEYDUDE (in thousands).

B. Reflects adjustment of $8.5 million to accounts payable for the amount of purchase price consideration held back from the initial cash payment on the Acquisition Date for any potential downward adjustments to the Purchase Price.

C. Reflect adjustments to inventories for the step up of HEYDUDE’s inventory to fair value. The fair value of inventory was determined using a market approach via a top-down method viewpoint and a cost approach (Replacement Cost Method) via a bottom-up method viewpoint. The top-down and bottom-up methods are reconciled in order to allocate profit and expenses to measure the inventory value created by a seller. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 is also adjusted to increase cost of sales by the same amount as the inventory is expected to be sold within one year of the Acquisition Date.

E. Reflects the net elimination of historical intangible assets, net of HEYDUDE and the recognition of the preliminary amounts assigned to the identifiable intangible assets of $1,886.9 million, as shown below. Trademarks are indefinite-lived and therefore not amortized. Customer relationships are amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life of 15 years. Note that the historical HEYDUDE intangibles, net balance consisted of trademarks, which are indefinite-lived and therefore not amortized. As such, the historical carrying value of HEYDUDE intangibles, net was reversed and no reversal of amortization was required for this adjustment.

J. Reflects amortization expense of $20.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 due to the customer relationship intangible asset with a useful life of 15 years pursuant to the Acquisition, as described above in E. Also reflects reversal of $0.6 million of depreciation expense (which consists of $0.3 million in ‘Cost of sales’ and $0.3 million in ‘Selling, general and administrative expenses’ in the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations) recorded in the historical, as adjusted, HEYDUDE financial statements. There is no historical amortization expense to reverse from HEYDUDE’s financial results.

K. Reflects adjustments to interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Company’s new term loan B credit facility and the additional draw on the Company’s existing revolving credit facility to finance the cash consideration. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a variable interest rate based on (A) a Base Rate (defined as the highest of (i) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate (as defined in the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”)), plus 0.25%, (b) the Prime Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and (c) the Daily Simple SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus 1.00%), plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.875% based on our leverage ratio or 1.35% to 1.975% for the Daily Simple SOFR based on the leverage ratio, or (B) the Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.35% to 1.975% based on our leverage ratio for one-month interest periods and 1.40% to 2.025% based on our leverage ratio for three month interest periods. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are secured by all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”) and guaranteed by certain other subsidiaries of the Borrowers. The Company calculated pro forma interest expense using a rate of 4% for the term loan B and 1.88% on the revolving facility.

A 1/8 of a percentage point increase or decrease in the interest rate related to borrowings under the Company’s new term loan B credit facility would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $0.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021.

L. Reflects income tax effect of pro forma adjustments using the estimated statutory tax rate of 17.7% for the year ended December 31, 2021. The tax rate used for the pro forma financial information is a blended statutory tax rate, which will likely vary from the actual effective tax rate in periods subsequent to the completion of the pro forma events.

M. On the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet, this reflects an adjustment to accrue for $22.1 million of non-recurring transaction costs related to the Acquisition, which are not reflected in the historical financial statements. On the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations, this amount has been included as a transaction adjustment in selling, general and administrative expenses.

N. The unaudited pro forma combined basic and diluted earnings per share calculations are based on Crocs’ consolidated basic and diluted weighted average outstanding common shares, including the issuance of the 2,852,280 shares as part of the consideration.

O. The Agreement specified that the Company would acquire a limited amount of cash. As a result of this provision, acquired cash was reduced to $6.2 million with the balance distributed to the Sellers prior to the close of the Acquisition. At December 31, 2021 historical HEYDUDE cash was $99.3 million. Therefore, for purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet, there is a transaction adjustment of $93.1 million to present the adjusted cash balance.
