and Resolve Marcato Lawsuit</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0"><B>GOLETA, Calif. &ndash; November 10, 2017</B> &ndash; Deckers
Brands (NYSE: DECK), a global leader in designing, marketing and distributing innovative footwear, apparel and accessories, today
announced that its Board of Directors has taken the actions described below to address and deem resolved the lawsuit filed by an
affiliate of Marcato Capital Management LP (together, &ldquo;Marcato&rdquo;) on October 23, 2017, in the Court of Chancery of the
State of Delaware. The Deckers Board urges stockholders to vote &ldquo;FOR&rdquo; all nine of Deckers&rsquo; highly qualified directors
using the WHITE proxy card at the Annual Meeting on December 14, 2017.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0">&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve taken decisive action to resolve these
legal issues so that stockholders can focus on what really matters&mdash;choosing the right stewards to lead Deckers forward and
continue to execute on its transformation,&rdquo; said John M. Gibbons, Chairman of the Board of Directors. &ldquo;The Deckers
Board is singularly focused on continuing to evolve Deckers to meet the needs of our consumers and deliver value to our stockholders.
This transformation&mdash;which has been in process for almost two years and was already far along when Marcato made its initial
investment&mdash;is showing real, tangible results. It is enabling Deckers to be a faster, leaner and more focused business that
is better positioned to build stockholder value and win in the marketplace. We strongly believe that our Board of experienced and
well-qualified directors is the right Board to move Deckers forward. We urge all stockholders to vote on the WHITE proxy card at
the upcoming Annual Meeting.&rdquo;</P>

                                         will hold its 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on December 14, 2017, subject only
                                         to the Board&rsquo;s ability, in the exercise of its fiduciary duties to stockholders,
                                         to adjust the date of the meeting should circumstances require that action. The Board
                                         also authorized Deckers to enter into a stipulation with Marcato regarding this commitment.</TD></TR>

                                         to Deckers&rsquo; credit facility to prevent an &ldquo;event of default&rdquo; from occurring
                                         under the credit facility if a majority of Marcato&rsquo;s director nominees were to
                                         be elected at the Annual Meeting. Deckers is working with JPMorgan Chase Bank, the administrative
                                         agent under its credit facility, to obtain the necessary lender consents to implement
                                         this amendment as soon as possible. The Board approved Marcato&rsquo;s director nominees
                                         as director candidates under the credit facility solely for this purpose.</TD></TR>

                                         and deferred compensation plans that would have otherwise occurred if a majority of Marcato&rsquo;s
                                         director nominees were to be elected at the Annual Meeting. In order to effect this change,
                                         the Board determined that Marcato&rsquo;s director nominees, if elected, would be &ldquo;continuing
