2. Potential Synergies
Revenue Perspective:
• Since two company focus a little
differently on casual shoes for Crocs
and sporty shoes for Under Armour,
the customer base does not overlap
too much and therefore the total base
could increase.
• Under Armour does not have much
sales portion in foreign countries.
Hence, through the distributors of
Crocs, Under Armour could have
bigger sales; on the other hand, Under
Armour could provide competitive
brand name for Crocs.
Cost Pespective:
• Crocs has big amount of sales in
United States and thus Under Armour
could integrate some operation.
• In Asia Pacific region, since Crocs
already has some distribution and
retailers, Under Armour could use
little capital to invest in Asia market.
• Since Crocs already has some patents
such as rubber materials, which may
provide Under Armour some base in
R&D and thus saves R&D costs.
• Remove inefficient departments or
products.
