Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The Company adopted this ASU on April 1, 2017 on a prospective basis and the Company changed its accounting policy to measure inventory at the lower of cost or market or net realizable value less an approximate normal profit margin at each financial statement date. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The Company adopted this ASU on April 1, 2017 on a prospective basis and the Company changed its accounting policy for certain aspects of share-based payment awards to employees, including the accounting for income taxes and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification of cash flows. Beginning April 1, 2017, the adoption of this ASU had the following impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures:

The calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding no longer includes excess tax benefits as assumed proceeds, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s calculation of diluted earnings per share.
Excess tax benefits and deficiencies were recorded as income tax benefits or expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, rather than to additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for settlements of share-based payment awards occurring on or after April 1, 2017. The Company's income tax benefit or expense will continue to be impacted by fluctuations in the stock price between grant and vesting dates of its share-based payment awards.
A cumulative adjustment to retained earnings and non-current deferred tax assets for unrecognized excess tax benefits of $1,365 was recorded on April 1, 2017 in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017.
The Company has made current and prior period reclassifications in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows to present cash flows from excess tax benefits as cash flows provided by operating activities instead of the historical presentation as cash flows provided by financing activities.
The Company elected to estimate forfeitures as a component of determining grant date fair value.

Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP when it becomes effective. The standard permitsSignificant areas requiring the use of eithermanagement estimates relate to inventory write-downs, trade accounts receivable allowances, including variable consideration for net sales provided to customers, contract assets and liabilities, stock-based compensation, impairment assessments, goodwill and other intangible assets, depreciation and amortization, income tax receivables and liabilities, uncertain tax positions, the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In August 2015,fair value of financial instruments, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides for a one-year deferral of the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09, as well as early application, which will be effective forreasonably certain lease term, lease classification, and the Company's annualincremental borrowing rate (IBR) utilized to discount its operating lease assets and interim reporting periods beginning April 1, 2018. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which clarifies how to apply the implementation guidance related to principal versus agent considerations within ASU No. 2014-09. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarifies two components of ASU No. 2014-09: (1) identifying performance obligations and (2) licensing implementation guidance. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which is intended toliabilities.

Refer to Note 12, “Reportable Operating Segments,” for further information on the Company's reportable operating segments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Accounting Standard Updates (ASUs) that have been adopted by providing clarifications and practical expedients. The Company is currently evaluating its business and contracts to determine any changes to accounting policies, processes, or systems necessary to adopt the requirements of the new standard. The Company believes the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements but will result in expanded disclosure requirements and, as such, the Company will elect the cumulative effect transition method.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under previous US GAAP. A lessee should recognize a liability in the balance sheet to make lease payments (the lease liability) at fair value and an offsetting "right-of-use" asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. This ASU requires a modified retrospective transition method for leases existing at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the adoption-period financial statements. This ASU will be effective for the Company's annual and interim reporting periods beginning April 1, 2019.as stated below. The Company has completed an initial assessmentfollowing is a summary of the effect that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statementseach standard and related disclosures and currently expects an increase in assets and liabilities due to the recognition of the required right-of-use asset and corresponding liability for all lease commitments that are currently classified as operating leases, such as retail stores, showrooms, and distribution facilities, as well as expanded disclosures on existing and new lease commitments. The recognition of lease expenses is not expected to materially change from the current methodology. The Company has developed an implementation team to evaluate its business operations and related contracts and determine any necessary changes to accounting policies, processes, or systems in order to adopt this ASU.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU eliminates the diversityin practice related to the classification of certain cash receipts and payments. This ASU will be effective for the Company’s annual and interim reporting periods beginning April 1, 2018, with early adoptionpermitted. The guidance should be applied retrospectively, requiring adjustment to all comparative periods presented, unless it is impractical to do so, in which case, the guidance should be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company has evaluated the effect the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and currently does not expect adoption to have a material impact.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Accounting for Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. This ASU requires that the income tax impact of intra-entity sales and transfers of property, except for inventory, be recognized when the transfer occurs. This ASU will be effective for the Company’s annual and interim reporting periods beginning April 1, 2018 and will require any deferred taxes not yet recognized on intra-entity transfers to be recorded to retained earnings under a modified retrospective approach, with early adoption permitted. The Company has evaluated its business policies and processes around intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory and has concluded the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which eliminatesstep two from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under current step two guidance, anentity previously had to perform procedures to determine the fair value of its assets and liabilities at the impairmenttesting date following the procedure required to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed ina business combination. Under this ASU, an entity is required to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment testby comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairmentcharge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. This ASU will be effective forthe Company’s annual and interim reporting periods beginning April 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted on or after January 1, 2017. The Company is evaluating the timing and effect that adoptionof this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting, which updates the guidance for changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award which

StandardDescriptionImpact on Adoption
ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (as amended by ASUs 2015-14, 2018-01, 2018-10, 2018-11, 2018-20, and 2019-01)
Requires a lessee to recognize a lease asset and lease liability in its condensed consolidated balance sheets. A lessee should recognize a right-of-use (ROU) asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the estimated lease term, and a liability for related lease payments.
The Company adopted this ASU (the new lease standard) on a modified retrospective basis beginning April 1, 2019. On adoption, the Company recorded a $230,048 increase to total assets due to the recognition of ROU assets, net of prior legacy US GAAP lease-related balances for deferred rent obligations and tenant allowances of $27,895, as previously recorded in other accrued expenses, deferred rent obligations, and other long-term liabilities, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company recorded a corresponding $254,538 increase to total liabilities due to the recognition of lease liabilities, net of a prior legacy US GAAP lease-related balance for prepaid rent of $4,846, as previously recorded in prepaid expenses, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets and lease liabilities include lease obligations for operating leases for retail stores, showrooms, offices, and distribution facilities. ROU assets and related lease liabilities are presented as operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In addition, the Company recorded a net cumulative effect after-tax decrease to opening retained earnings of $1,069 in the condensed consolidated balance sheets due to the impairment of select operating lease assets related to retail stores whose fixed assets had been previously impaired and for which the initial carrying value of the operating lease assets were determined to be above fair market value on adoption.

The adoption of the new lease standard did not materially affect the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income as the classification and recognition of lease cost did not materially change from legacy US GAAP. Similarly, it did not have a material impact on the Company's liquidity or on its debt covenant compliance under current agreements
including its borrowing strategy subject to leverage ratios. However, it did result in additional disclosures and presentation changes to the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, including supplemental cash flow disclosure, as well as expanded disclosures on existing and new lease commitments.

The Company elected the “package of practical expedients” permitted under the transition guidance of this ASU, which provides a number of transition options, including (1) exemption from reassessment of prior conclusions about lease identification, classification and initial direct costs; (2) the ability to elect a short-term lease recognition exemption; and (3) the option to not separate lease and non-lease components. In addition, the Company did not apply the optional hindsight election and maintained original lease terms as estimated at lease inception.

The comparative condensed consolidated financial statements have not been restated and continue to be reported under legacy US GAAP in effect for those prior reporting periods presented. Refer to Note 7, “Leases and Other Commitments,” for the Company's accounting policy and expanded disclosures required under the new lease standard.

would require the Company to apply modification accounting for share-based payment awards unless all of the following conditions are met: (1) the fair value, (2) vesting conditions, and (3) classification of the modified awards are the same as the fair value, vesting conditions, or classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. This ASU will be effective for the Company's annual and interim reporting periods beginning April 1, 2018. The Company is evaluating the effect that the adoptionof this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and currently does not expect adoption to have a material impact.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which amends the hedge accounting guidance to better align an entity's risk management activities and financial reporting for hedge relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement accounting guidance for qualifying hedge relationships. Amendments include changes to align the financial statement presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the consolidated financial statements. This ASU will be effective for the Company's annual and interim reporting periods beginning April 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 2. Restructuring

Restructuring Charges

In February 2016, the Company announced the implementation of a multi-year restructuring plan which is designed to realign its brands across our Fashion Lifestyle and Performance Lifestyle brand groups, optimize the Company's retail store fleet, and consolidate management and operations. In general, this restructuring plan is intended to streamline brand operations, reduce overhead costs, create operating efficiencies, and improve collaboration.

In connection with the restructuring plan, the Company closed 27 retail stores as of December 31, 2017, and consolidated its brand operations and corporate headquarters. The Company has incurred cumulative restructuring charges of $55,324 since the commencement of the restructuring plan through December 31, 2017. Of this amount, $149 and $1,667 of restructuring charges were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, respectively.

StandardDescriptionImpact on Adoption
ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (as amended by ASUs 2018-16 and 2019-04)
Seeks to improve the transparency and understandability of information conveyed to financial statement users about an entity's risk management activities and to reduce the complexity of and simplify the application of hedge accounting. This ASU eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness.
The Company adopted this ASU (the new hedging standard) beginning April 1, 2019 on a prospective basis, which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

However, the Company made a change in accounting policy with respect to ineffective hedges and elected not to exclude hedge components from the periodic assessment of hedge effectiveness. Under legacy US GAAP, these amounts were excluded from hedge effectiveness and therefore as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL), and immediately recognized in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Under the new hedge standard, these gains or losses will now be recognized as a component of AOCL and will be reclassified to earnings in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income in the same period or periods as the related net sales are recorded.

The comparative condensed consolidated financial statements have not been restated and continue to be reported under legacy US GAAP in effect for those prior reporting periods presented.

Refer to Note 9, “Derivative Instruments,” for further information on the Company's hedging instruments.

Requires annual and interim goodwill impairment tests be performedby comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, effectively eliminating step two of the goodwill impairment test under legacy US GAAP. The amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value will continue to be recognized as an impairment charge.

OfNote 2. Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is completed at a point in time and when the customer has obtained control. Control passes to the customer when the customer can direct the use of, and obtain substantially all the remaining benefits from, the goods transferred. The amount of revenue recognized is based on the transaction price, which represents the invoiced amount less known actual amounts or estimates of variable consideration. Components of variable consideration include estimated discounts, markdowns or chargebacks, and sales returns. Estimated variable consideration is included in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the cumulative restructuring charges incurred through December 31, 2017, $5,077 remainedrevenue recognized will not occur in a future period.

The Company's customer contracts do not have a significant financing component due to their short durations, which are typically effective for one year or less and have payment terms that are generally 30-60 days.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements
The accounting standard for fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, net trade accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, income taxes receivable, other current assets, short-term borrowings, trade accounts payable, accrued payroll, other accrued expenses, income taxes payable, and value added tax payable approximate the carrying values due to the relatively short maturities of these assets and liabilities. The fair values of the Company's long-term liabilities do not significantly differ from the carrying values.
The inputs used inmeasurements provides a framework for measuring fair value, are prioritized intowhich is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy under this accounting standard requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following hierarchy:summarizes the three levels of inputs required:


Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets orand liabilities.


Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.


Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring the reporting entityCompany to develop its own assumptions.

The tax regime from a worldwide tax system to a territorial tax system, and provisions aimed at preventing base erosion of the US tax base.

On December 22, 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118) which provides guidance on accounting for the impact ofthree and six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were computed using the Tax Reform Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period, which should not extend beyond one year from the enactment date, during which the Company may complete the accounting for the impacts of the Tax Reform Act under Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 740. In accordance with SAB 118, the Company must reflect the income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act in the reporting period in which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete.

To the extent accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act is incomplete, the Company can determine a reasonable estimate for those effects and record a provisional estimate in the condensed consolidated financial statements in the first reporting period in which a reasonable estimate can be made. If the Company cannot determine a provisional estimate to be included in the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company can continue to apply ASC 740 based on the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately prior to the Tax Reform Act being enacted. If the Company is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of the impacts of the Tax Reform Act in a reporting period, a provisional amount must be recorded in the first reporting period in which a reasonable estimate can be determined.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded the following provisional estimates for the discrete income tax expense impacts from the Tax Reform Act in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income:

Approximately $52,800 related to the US income tax associated with deemed repatriation of accumulated foreign earnings through the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, of which $4,557 is payable within 12 months and recorded in current income taxes payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

This was partially offset by a reduction of the US federal income tax rate, to 31.5%.

Rent expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term in SG&A expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Lease payments recognized in the operating lease liability are (1) fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments, owed over the lease term, as well as fixed rate increases and (2) exclude any lease prepayments as of the period presented.

Operating lease assets and liabilities are presented separately in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The current portion of operating lease liabilities is presented within current liabilities, while the long-term portion is presented separately as long-term operating lease liabilities.

Certain leases require additional payments based on (1) actual or forecasted sales volume (either monthly or annually), (2) reimbursement for real estate taxes (tax), (3) common area maintenance (CAM), and (4) insurance (collectively, variable lease payments). Variable lease payments are generally excluded from operating lease assets and liabilities and are recognized in rent expense and recorded as a component of SG&A expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Some leases are dependent upon forecasted annual sales volume, and lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis as rent expense over each annual period when the achievement of the related sales target is reasonably likely to occur. Other variable lease payments, such as tax, CAM and insurance, are recognized in rent expense as incurred. Some leases contain one fixed lease payment that include variable lease payments, which are considered non-lease components. The Company has elected to account for these instances as a single lease component and the total of these fixed payments is used to measure the operating lease assets and lease liabilities.

The Company has elected not to recognize operating lease assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases, which are defined as those operating leases with a term of 12 months or less. Instead, lease payments for short-term leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term in rent expense and recorded as a component of SG&A expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Discount Rate. The Company discounts its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if the rate cannot be readily determined, its IBR. Generally, the Company wascannot determine the interest rate implicit in compliance with all debt covenantsthe lease because it does not have access to the lessor's estimated residual value or the amount of the lessor's deferred initial direct costs. Therefore, the Company generally derives a discount rate at the lease commencement date by utilizing its IBR, which is based on what the Company would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to its lease payments under similar terms. Because the variousCompany does not currently borrow on a collateralized basis under its revolving credit facilities, discussed above and remains in compliance at February 9, 2018.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

Pursuant to the addendum, the Company exercised its option to lease additional square footage and extended the expiration dateamount of the lease payments, the lease term, and the effect on that rate of designating specific collateral with a value equal to June 2028.the unpaid lease payments for that lease.

Remeasurements. The total futureCompany monitors for events that require a change in estimates for its operating lease assets and liabilities, such as modifications to the terms of the contract, including the lease term.

Reassessments may include impairments of operating lease assets as determined under the requirements of ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment – Overall (ASC 360). Any impairment charges incurred under the requirements of ASC 360 are allocated to the long-lived assets in the defined asset group, which include the operating lease asset unless doing so would reduce the carrying amount of the operating lease asset to an amount less than zero. Impairment charges are recorded in SG&A expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Annual AwardsAccumulated Other Comprehensive Loss


During fiscal year 2018, the Company elected to grant Annual RSUs and Annual PSUs under the 2015 SIP to key employees, including certain executive officers of the Company. These grants entitle the recipients to receive shares of the Company's common stock upon vesting. The vesting of Annual PSUs is subject to the achievement of pre-established Company performance criteria measured over the fiscal year during which they are granted, and to the extent the performance criteria has been met, vest in equal installments over three years thereafter. The Annual RSUs are subject only to time-based vesting criteria and vest in equal installments over three years following the date of grant. During the three months ended December 31, 2017, the Company granted no Annual PSUs and 1,782 Annual RSUs at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $72.86 per share. During the nine months ended December 31, 2017, the Company granted 54,090 Annual PSUs at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $68.44 per share and 133,302 Annual RSUs at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $67.67 per share.

The Company recorded aggregate stock compensation expense,components within AOCL, net of forfeitures, of $2,461 and $7,163 for the fiscal year 2018 Annual RSUs and Annual PSUs during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, respectively.

As of December 31, 2017, future unrecognized stock compensation expense for all Annual RSUs and Annual PSUs granted to date, excluding estimated forfeitures, is $12,420.

Long-Term Incentive Options (LTIP)

During fiscal year 2017, the Company approved the issuance of long-term incentive plan (LTIP) NQSOs under the 2015 SIP to the Company’s executive officers. If the Company achieves the minimum threshold performance criteria, and the recipient provides continuous service, the LTIP NQSOs will vest in equal installments over three years from the date of grant. Each option grants the recipient the right to purchase a specified number of shares of the Company's common stock at a fixed exercise price per share based on the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant. The Company measures stock compensation expense for LTIP NQSOs at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model estimates the fair value of the options based on a number of assumptions, such as expected option life, interest rates, the current fair market value and expected volatility, as well as dividend yield of the Company’s common stock.

In June 2017, the Company approved the grant of the FY 2018 LTIP NQSOs to the Company's executive officers, which will vest on March 31, 2020 if the recipient provides continuous service through that date and the Company achieves the minimum threshold performance criteria. As of December 31, 2017, the fair value of the FY 2018 LTIP NQSOs granted, less estimated forfeitures, was $4,600, with $420 and $909 expensed during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, respectively.

The following table presents the weighted-average valuation assumptions used for the recognition of stock-based compensation expense for the FY 2018 LTIP NQSOs granted:

Expected volatility38.73%
Risk free interest rate1.78%
Dividend yield%
Weighted-average exercise price$69.29
Weighted-average option value$25.03

Overview


We are a global leader in designing, marketing, and distributing innovative footwear, apparel, and accessories developed for both everyday casual lifestyle use and high performancehigh-performance activities. We market our products primarily under our five proprietary brands: UGG, Koolaburra, Hoka,HOKA, Teva, Sanuk, and Sanuk.

Koolaburra. We believe our products are distinctive and appeal broadly to women, men, and children. We sell our products through quality domestic and international retailers, international distributors, and directly to our end-userglobal consumers both domestically and internationally through our Direct-to-Consumer (DTC)DTC business, which is comprised of our retail stores and E-Commerce websites. Independent third parties manufacture all of our products.

Recent Developments

Restructuring Plan.In February 2016, we announced the implementation of a multi-year restructuring plan which is designedWe seek to realigndifferentiate our brands optimize our retail store fleet, and consolidate our managementproducts by offering diverse lines that emphasize authenticity, functionality, quality, and operations.
As part of this restructuring plan,comfort, and in furtherance of our Omni-Channel strategy, we realigned our brands across two groups: Fashion Lifestyle and Performance Lifestyle. The Fashion Lifestyle group includes the UGG and Koolaburra brands. The Performance Lifestyle group includes the Teva, Sanuk and Hoka brands.

During calendar year 2017, we began to leverage elements, including particular styles, of the Ahnu brand under the Teva brand. Effective as of the beginning of fiscal year 2018, operations for the Ahnu brand were discontinued and all styles are sold under the Teva brand. Results for the former Ahnu brand are now reported in the Teva brand wholesale reportable operating segment instead of the other brands wholesale reportable operating segment, as presented in the comparative prior period.

We believe our retail stores remain an important component of our Omni-Channel strategy; however, in light of the recent and continuing changes in the retail environment, we also believe it is prudent to further reduce our global brick and mortar footprint. We expect to continue to reduce our retail footprint. Accordingly, we anticipate generating future cost savings associated with changes in our retail presence. We are continually evolving our retail store strategy to align with our long-term objectives, and we currently believe that the optimal target worldwide retail store count is approximately 125 owned stores. We anticipate closing stores or converting stores to partner retail stores in our wholesale channel to reach our target store count. The majority of our remaining store closures are expected to occur as store leases expire rather than incurring potentially significant lease termination fees. However, the actual number of owned stores as of any particular date is subject to uncertainty as a result of numerous factors, including, but not limited to, the actual and projected costs associated with closing or converting stores, the actual and estimated results

of operations of each store and our DTC business generally, and continuing changes in consumer buying behaviors and the retail environment.

In connection with our restructuring plan, we have closed 27 retail stores as of December 31, 2017, and consolidated our brand operations and corporate headquarters. We have incurred total restructuring charges of $55,324 through December 31, 2017, with $149 and $1,667 of restructuring charges recorded in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, respectively. We currently do not anticipate incurring material restructuring charges in future periods, though reduction of our owned retail stores remains a focus.

As a result of the implementation of this restructuring plan, we expect to realize an annualized SG&A expense reduction in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income totaling approximately $85,000 by March 31, 2020. The SG&A savings are expected to be primarily derived from reductions in payroll and related benefits, depreciation and amortization, rent and occupancy costs for retail stores and offices, as well as reductions in other operating costs.

As of December 31, 2017, we realized approximately $45,000 of annualized SG&A expense savings out of the anticipated $85,000 of savings from our restructuring plan. The realized SG&A expense savings by reportable operating segment is set forth as follows:
UGG brand wholesale$800
Sanuk brand wholesale1,100
Other brands wholesale800
Direct-to-Consumer25,000
Unallocated overhead costs17,300
Total$45,000

We expect to realize approximately $40,000 of additional annualized SG&A expense reductions from our restructuring plan. The additional SG&A savings are expected to be primarily derived from further reductions in payroll and related benefits, depreciation and amortization, rent and occupancy expense, and other operating costs related to the termination of retail store leases and the conversion of certain of our foreign owned retail stores to partner retail stores. These additional savings are expected to primarily impact the DTC reportable operating segment and to be fully realized by fiscal year end 2020. However, both the amount and timing of the actual savings we may achieve as a result of the restructuring plan are uncertain based upon numerous factors, including, but not limited to, the timing of lease terminations and store closures, the actual costs associated with closing or converting stores and the timing of the realization of those costs, and the actual and estimated results of operations of each store.

Refer to Note 2, "Restructuring," of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information regarding our restructuring plan.

Operating Profit Improvement Plan. In addition to the approximate $85,000 of gross annualized SG&A expense savings expected from the implementation of our restructuring plan, we also expect that our other transformation initiatives announced in February 2017 will contribute approximately $65,000 of cost of sales and additional SG&A expense improvements, for a total anticipated annual gross cost savings of approximately $150,000. Cost of sales improvements are expected to result from reducing product development cycle times, optimizing material yields, consolidating our factory base, and continuing to move product manufacturing outside of China. Further reductions in SG&A expenses are expected to result from lower corporate infrastructure costs, process improvement efficiencies, and reduced unallocated indirect spend.

The cost of sales improvements are expected to impact each of the reportable operating segments (excluding unallocated overhead costs) in an amount that is generally proportionate with the net sales generated by that reportable operating segment as a percentage of our total net sales. We have achieved approximately 80% of the expected cost of sales improvements as of December 31, 2017. The remaining annualized costs of sales and additional SG&A expense improvements are expected to be realized by fiscal year end 2020.

We expect that the approximately $150,000 of annual gross cost savings will help contribute approximately $100,000 of net annualized operating profit improvement (after reinvestment in marketing and other growth driving

initiatives) by fiscal year end 2020. However, both the amount and timing of the actual operating profit improvements we may achieve as a result of these transformation initiatives are uncertain based upon numerous factors, including, but not limited to, the timing and success of certain production and inventory control improvements, the costs associated with improving and transitioning manufacturing operations, and the net impact of certain costs savings initiatives on our operating profit.

Stock Repurchase Program. During the three months ended December 31, 2017, our Board of Directors authorized a new $335,000 stock repurchase program. Upon approval of the new repurchase program, combined with the $65,294 remaining approved amount from our January 2015 stock repurchase program, we had the authority to repurchase up to an aggregate total of $400,294 of our common stock. As of December 31, 2017, the aggregate remaining approved amount was $375,607. Our repurchase programs do not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be suspended at any time at our discretion.

Cash Repatriation. As of December 31, 2017, we had approximately $399,137 of cash and cash equivalents domiciled outside the United States (US). As a result of the recently enacted US H.R.1 on December 22, 2017, also known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (referred to herein as the "Tax Reform Act"), our related foreign earnings are now subject to US federal income tax in transitionoffering products tailored to a territorial tax regime. If these cashvariety of activities, seasons, and cash equivalentsdemographic groups. All our products are repatriated, the amount could be subject to additional foreign withholding and state income taxes. In response to the new regulation, management is authorized to repatriate up to $250,000 of cash and cash equivalents before the end of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, with the remainder of available cash and cash equivalents currently expected to be used for ongoing foreign operations. Concurrently, we are re-evaluating our capital allocation strategy and considering further opportunities to put this cash to use in a way that will profitably grow our business and drive stockholder value, including utilizing our current stock repurchase programs. Our cash repatriation strategy and tax related provisional estimates may be impactedmanufactured by a number of additional considerations, including, but not limited to, the state level income tax impacts of the Tax Reform Act, clarifications of or changes to the Tax Reform Act including the issuance of final regulations, additional accounting or regulatory guidance, our ongoing analysis which may result in changes to various assumptions underlying the estimates, and our actual earnings for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018.

Trends Impacting our Overall Business


Our business and the industry in which we operate continuescontinue to be impacted by several important trends:


The overall scope and shape of our brand portfolio is evolving, especially as we continue to experience a high rate of net sales growth within the HOKA brand and as net sales within this brand continue to comprise a greater proportion of our aggregate net sales. Within the UGG brand, we have achieved a strategic reduction in our reliance on sales of products within the core Classics franchise, as we have experienced increased sales across other UGG brand product offerings, including non-core Women's spring and summer lines, as well as Men's lines. We expect each of these trends will continue in the future, which will have a corresponding impact on the diversity and reach of our brands.

Sales of our products within our brand portfolio are highly seasonal and are sensitive to weather conditions, which are largely unpredictable and beyond our control. Even thoughIn an ongoing and strategic effort to reduce the impact of seasonality on our results of operations, we continue to expandintroduce counter-seasonal products across our brands. In particular, the significant growth of the HOKA brand's year-round performance product offerings as a percentage of our aggregate net sales has had a meaningful positive impact on our seasonality trends. In addition, the UGG brand continues to experience success through the introduction of products within the Women's spring and summer lines. However, while we will continue to focus on reducing the impact of seasonality through innovation and the expansion of our product linesofferings, and create more year-round styles forby continuing to adjust product mix within our brand portfolios, given the historical and projected magnitude of net sales within the UGG brand relative to our other brands, the effect of favorable or unfavorable weather on our aggregate net sales and operating results may continue to be significant. We believe our net sales were positively impacted by weather conditions during the quarter ended December 31, 2017, especially in the US northeast.


We believe thereThere has been a meaningful shift in the way consumers shop for products and make purchasing decisions. In particular, brickdecisions, and mortarthese consumer trends and behaviors continue to evolve. For example, the traditional retail stores areindustry is experiencing significant and prolonged decreases in consumer traffic as customers continue to migrate to online shopping online.that is being fueled by technology, resulting in a shrinking retail footprint. This shift is positively impacting the performance of both our DTCE-Commerce business, while creating challenges and headwinds for our traditional retail business and the businesses of our wholesalekey customers.

In light of the shift in consumer shopping behavior, As a result, we are seeking to optimize our brick and mortar retail footprint. In pursuing store closures, we have been impacted by costs to exit lease agreements, employee termination costs, retail store fixed asset impairments, and other closure costs. We expect this trend to continue as we further evaluate and optimize our retail fleet. In some cases, we may choose to keep retail stores open until the lease term expires rather than incurring potentially significant lease termination fees.

We expect that our E-Commerce business will continue to be a driver of long-term growth, although we expect that the year-over-year percentage growth rate will decline over time as the size of our E-Commerce business increases.

We Further, we believe that our traditional retail business will continue to be an important component of our DTC business and we expect to continue to seek opportunities to optimize our retail store fleet, which may cause our operating expenses to fluctuate from period to period.

As a result of changes in consumer purchasing behavior, we continue to focus on the continued enhancement of our Omni-Channel capabilitiesstrategy to enable us to increasinglybetter engage existing and prospective consumers in a more connected environment and expose them to our brands. In particular,Our strategy is transforming the way we approach marketing, including through a sustained focus on our digital marketing efforts, as well as marketing activations to drive brand heat.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, we implemented a product segmentation strategy, as well as an allocation strategy for the UGG brand’s core Classics franchise in the US wholesale marketplace. These strategies are working towardsdesigned to assist us in controlling product inventory, reducing the impact of discounts and close-outs on our sales and gross margins, and increasing full-priced selling across our product offerings. We plan to continue this strategic management of the US marketplace in future seasons and, similarly, we have just begun to implement a segmented channel and product distributionmulti-year strategy in Europe during fiscal year 2020.


approach with the goal of continuingWe continue to reduce the number of distribution points within the domestic markets to elevate distribution among select customers, and enhancingstrategically assess our distribution footprint withinpositioning across our entire brand portfolio. For example, we regularly review the EuropeanUGG brand distribution channels globally and Asian markets, including throughrecently announced our decision to exit the usewarehouse channel for the Sanuk brand. We will continue to assess the impact that our distribution channels have on the overall strength and financial performance of partner retail stores.our brands.


We believe consumers are increasingly buying product closerbrands that advance sustainable business practices and deliver quality products while striving for minimal environmental impact with socially conscious operations. Through our Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Program, we expect to continue to advance our sustainable business initiatives with the goal of consistently delivering brand promises that meet consumer expectations.

Reportable Operating Segment Overview

In particular, these customers appear to be shortening their purchasing windows as a way to address the evolving behavior of retail consumersperformance and to manage their own product inventory.allocates resources.


Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations have significantly increased the value of the US dollar compared to most major foreign currencies over the past couple of years. While we seek to hedge some of the risks associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, these changes are largely outside of our control. We expect these changes will continue to impact the demand for our products and our operating results.

Our retail stores are predominantly UGG brand concept stores and UGG brand outlet stores. Through our outlet stores, we sell some of our discontinued styles from prior seasons, full price in-line products, as well as products made specifically for the outlet stores. At December 31, 2017,

As of September 30, 2019, we had a total of 168151 global retail stores, worldwide, which includes 10183 concept stores and 6768 outlet stores. DuringGenerally, we open retail store locations during the nine months ended December 31, 2017,second or third quarters of each fiscal year and consider closures of retail stores during the third or fourth quarters of each fiscal year. We evaluate retail store closures based on store performance and timing of lease expirations and options. While we opened six concept and four outletexpect to identify additional stores closed one conceptfor closure, we may simultaneously identify opportunities to open new stores in the future to further enhance our overall DTC business. We currently do not anticipate incurring material incremental retail store and converted one owned outletclosure costs, primarily because any store closures we may pursue are expected to aoccur as retail store leases expire to avoid incurring potentially significant lease termination costs, as well as through conversions to partner retail store. stores, further discussed below.

Flagship Stores. Included in the total count of retailglobal concept stores worldwide are nine UGG brand flagship stores, which are lead concept stores in certain key markets and prominent locations designed to showcase the UGG brand products.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures


Constant Currency.In order to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed during the relevant periods, excluding the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q we provide certain financial information on a “constant currency basis,” which iswe disclose in addition to the financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP).US GAAP. In order to calculate our constant currency information, we calculate the current period financial information using the foreign currency exchange rates that were in effect during the previous comparable period, excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate hedges and re-measurements.remeasurements. We believe that evaluating certain financial and operating measures on a constant currency basis is important as it facilitates comparison of our current financial performance to our historical financial performance, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations that are not indicative of our core operating results and are largely outside of our control. Constant currency measures should not be considered in isolation as an alternative to US dollar measures that reflect current period foreign currency exchange rates or to other financial measures presented in accordance with US GAAP.


Comparable DTC Sales.We report comparable DTC sales on a constant currency basis for combined retail stores and E-Commerce businessesDTC operations that were open throughout the current and prior reporting period, in both theand we may adjust prior reporting periods to conform to current year and prior year.accounting policies. There may be variations in the way that we calculate comparable DTC sales as compared to some of our competitors and other retailers.companies. As a result, information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding our comparable DTC sales may not be directly comparable to similar data made available by our competitors or other retailers.companies.


Seasonality

Our business is seasonal, with the highest percentage of UGG brand net sales occurring in the quarters ending September 30th and December 31st and the highest percentage of Teva and Sanuk brand net sales occurring in the quarters ending March 31st and June 30th. Net sales for the HOKA brand occur more evenly throughout the year reflecting the brand's year-round performance product offerings. Due to the magnitude of net sales within the UGG brand relative to our other brands, our aggregate net sales in the quarters ending September 30th and December 31st have significantly exceeded our aggregate net sales in the quarters ending March 31st and June 30th. As we continue to take steps to diversify and expand our product offerings by creating more year-round styles and grow the year-round net sales of the HOKA brand as a percentage of our aggregate net sales, we expect the seasonality trends that have resulted in significant variations in our net sales from quarter to quarter to decrease over time.

The increase inTotal net sales was largelyincreased primarily due to higher HOKA, UGG, and other brandOther brands wholesale and overallsales, as well as total DTC sales. During the three months ended December 31, 2017,Further, we experienced an increase of 3.4% in total volume of pairs sold to 10,8009,200 compared to 10,2008,900 during the prior period. On a constant currency basis, net sales increased 6.3% during the three months ended December 31, 2017by 9.5% compared to the prior period. Drivers for significant changes in net sales are set forth below.


Wholesale net sales of ourthe HOKA brand increased due to continued global growth through new customer acquisitions, as well as higher sales driven by key franchise updates, including Bondi and Clifton, and new product launches, including Rincon and Carbon X.

The increase in income from operations of Sanuk brand wholesale was primarily due to impairment charges for goodwill and long-lived assets incurred in the prior period, as well as sales at higher gross margins, in the current period.

The increase in income from operations of other brands wholesale was due to higher Hoka brand sales, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses, primarily driven by higher variable selling and marketing expenses.

The increase in income from operations of DTC was primarily due to higher sales in our E-Commerce business at slightly higher gross margins as well as lower SG&A expenses, primarily driven by lower restructuring charges for retail stores compared to the prior period.


The increase in unallocated overhead costs was primarily due to higher performance-based compensation,foreign currency-related losses driven by unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates for Asian and European currencies, as well as higher professional and consulting servicesexpenses, partially offset by lower net warehouse costs as well as warehouse and third party logistic provider costs, partially offsetdue the consolidation of our distribution centers.


by favorable fluctuations in European and Asian exchange rates for various foreign currencies. Other (Income) Expense, Net. The increase in performance-based compensation reflects management's determination that it is probable that the performance criteria associated with certain compensatory awards will be achieved as compared to the prior period. The increase in professional and consulting service costs is driven by higher costs associated with our proxy contest and related legal matters compared to the prior period. The increase in warehouse costs,total other (income) expense, net, compared to the prior period, was driven by the re-allocation of European warehouse costs from the wholesale channel to unallocated overhead costs based on a determination that the warehouses support multiple reportable operating segments as well as a new North American third party logistics provider.

Refer to Note 12, "Reportable Operating Segments," of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of our reportable operating segments.

Other Expense, Net. The decrease in total other expense, net, was primarily due to a decreasean increase in interest income driven by higher interest rate yields on higher average invested cash balances.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense and our effective income tax rate were as a result of lower average balances outstanding underfollows:
 Three Months Ended September 30,
 2019 2018
Income tax expense$19,413
 $15,403
Effective income tax rate20.0% 17.2%

The increase in our revolving credit facilities during the three months ended December 31, 2017effective income tax rate, compared to the prior period.

Income Taxes. Income taxes for interim periods are computed using an estimated effective tax rate that is expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. The estimated tax rate is subject to ongoing review and evaluation by management and can vary from quarter to quarter. The income tax expense and the effective income tax rates were as follows:
 Three Months Ended December 31,
 2017 2016
Income tax expense$106,712
 $9,860
Effective income tax rate55.3% 19.4%

The change in the effective tax rateperiod, was primarily due to the enactment of the Tax Reform Act. Of the total income tax expense recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2017, approximately $13,400 was recorded for the re-measurement of our deferred tax assets in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. We also recorded provisional estimates for deemed repatriation of foreign earnings, including discrete tax impacts of approximately $52,800 as well as an impact through the consolidated annual effective tax rate of $8,639. These provisional estimates were offset by a benefit of $2,819 recorded through the consolidated annual effective tax rate due to the reduction of the US federal income tax rate from 35% to 31.5%. For further details regarding the impacts of the Tax Reform Act during the three months ended December 31, 2017, refer to Note 5, "Income Taxes," of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The changeexpenses, primarily driven by favorable return to provision differences in jurisdictional mix was primarily related to larger improvements in foreign income before income taxes relative to worldwide income before income taxes compared to the prior period.


Foreign income before income taxes was $95,053$46,002 and $44,887 $50,585and worldwide income before income taxes was $193,053$97,223 and $50,887$89,775 during the three months ended December 31, 2017September 30, 2019and 2016,2018, respectively. The increase in foreign income before income taxes was primarily due to an increase in foreign sales and the reduction of foreign operating expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2017 compared to the prior period. The decrease in foreign income before income taxes, as a percentage of worldwide income before income taxes, compared to the prior period, was primarily due to the Sanuk brand goodwilla decrease in foreign sales and patent impairment charges recorded during the prior periodmargin, as well as lower domestican increase in foreign operating expenses duringexpense as a percentage of worldwide sales.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The decreasenet increase in SG&A expenses during the nine months ended December 31, 2017 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2016 was primarily due to:

significantly decreased impairment and depreciation costs of approximately $125,000, including the recording of an impairment charge for the Sanuk brand wholesale reportable operating segment goodwill and patent in the amount of approximately $118,000, as well as retail store impairments and closure related expenses, incurred in the prior period;

increased payroll costs of approximately $26,000, primarily due to higher performance-based compensation and long-term incentive compensation costs of approximately $21,000, as well as costs for our in-house converted sales team;

decreased commission expenses of approximately $11,900, largely driven by the conversion of sales agent agreements to an in-house sales team in the prior period;

increased professional and consulting costs of approximately $7,900, primarily driven by costs associated with our proxy contest and related legal matters incurred during the current period;

decreased foreign currency losses of approximately $4,900 due to favorable exchange rates for European and Asian currencies, partially offset by higher realized losses on hedging instruments on foreign currency exchange rate forward contracts compared to the prior period;

increased warehouse related expenses of approximately $4,400 due to new North American third party logistics provider costs and higher warehouse costs in Asia in the current period;

decreased other operating expenses of approximately $4,400, primarily driven by lower general supply and overhead expenses primarily driven by cost savings initiatives compared to the prior period;


decreased rent and occupancy expenses of approximately $4,100, primarily due to fewer retail stores and related costs, including restructuring charges for lease termination costs incurred in the prior period;

increased bad debt expense of approximately $1,200, primarily attributable to the recent payment history on an unsettled customer account in the current period; and

decreased advertising and promotion and other operating expenses of approximately $1,100, primarily driven by the timing of expenses, compared to the prior period, as well as cost savings initiatives.was primarily the result of:


increased advertising and promotion expenses of $12,962, primarily due to higher marketing costs to drive sales for the HOKA and UGG brands;

increased other operating expenses of $7,171, primarily due to higher professional, consulting, and travel expenses;

increased variable selling expenses of $1,919, including warehousing costs and transaction fees, primarily due to higher E-Commerce sales;

increased expense for reserves for trade accounts receivable of $801; and

decreased depreciation and amortization expenses of $1,661, primarily due to certain property and equipment and intangible assets being fully amortized during the current period and retail store-related impairments recorded in the prior period.

The increase in total income from operations, primarily resulted fromcompared to the prior period, was due to higher sales at higher gross margins, as well as lowerpartially offset by higher overall SG&A expenses. Drivers for significant net changes in income (loss) from operations are set forth below.

The increase in income from operations of HOKA brand wholesale was due to higher sales at higher gross margins, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses, primarily driven by approximately $125,000 of impairmenthigher marketing and restructuring charges incurred in the prior period, as described above.variable selling expenses.

The increasedecrease in incomeloss from operations of DTC was primarily due to higher sales in our E-Commerce business at higherand lower overall retail store operating costs driven by prior period store closures, partially offset by slightly lower gross margins, as well as lower overall SG&Ahigher marketing and variable selling expenses, driven by lower restructuring charges for retail stores compared to the prior period.and higher variable warehouse-related expenses.


The increase in unallocated overhead costs was primarily due to higher performance-based compensation, professional and consulting service costs, as well as warehouseexpenses, and third party logistic provider costs,higher payroll expenses, partially offset by favorable fluctuationsa decrease in European and Asian exchange rates for various foreign currencies. rent expense as a result of the closure of the Camarillo distribution center.

Other (Income) Expense, Net. The increase in performance-based compensation reflects management's determination that it is probable that the performance criteria associated with certain compensatory awards will be achieved as compared to the prior period. The increase in professional and consulting service costs is driven by higher costs associated with our proxy contest and related legal matters compared to the prior period. The increase in warehouse costs,total other (income) expense, net, compared to the prior period, was driven by the re-allocation of European warehouse costs from the wholesale channel to unallocated overhead costs based on a determination that the warehouses support multiple reportable operating segments as well as a new North American third party logistics provider.

Refer to Note 12, "Reportable Operating Segments," of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of our reportable operating segments.


Other Expense, Net. The decrease in total other expense, net, was primarily due to a decreasean increase in interest expense as a result of lower average balances outstanding under our revolving credit facilities, as well asincome driven by higher interest incomerate yields on higher average invested cash balances during the nine months ended December 31, 2017balances.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense and our effective income tax rate were as follows:
 Six Months Ended September 30,
 2019 2018
Income tax expense$9,159
 $6,759
Effective income tax rate13.5% 13.3%

The increase in our effective income tax rate, compared to the prior period.

Income Taxes. Income taxes for interim periods are computed using an estimated effective tax rate that is expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. The estimated tax rate is subject to ongoing review and evaluation by management and can vary from quarter to quarter. The income tax expense and the effective income tax rates were as follows:
 Nine Months Ended December 31,
 2017 2016
Income tax expense$109,008
 $3,064
Effective income tax rate53.8% 12.5%

The change in the effective tax rateperiod, was primarily due to the enactment of the Tax Reform Act. Of the total income tax expense recorded during the nine months ended December 31, 2017, approximately $13,400 was recorded for the re-measurement of our deferred tax assets in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. We also recorded provisional estimates for deemed repatriation of foreign earnings, including discrete tax impacts of approximately $52,800 as well as an impact through the consolidated annual effective tax rate of $8,639. These provisional estimates were offset by a benefit of $2,819 recorded through the consolidated annual effective tax rate due to the reduction of the US federal income tax rate from 35% to 31.5%. For further details regarding the impacts of the Tax Reform Act during the nine months ended December 31, 2017, refer to Note 5, "Income Taxes," of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Refer to the section above entitled "Recent Developments" for further information regarding our cash repatriation strategy.

Our effective tax rate was further impacted by the changechanges in the jurisdictional mix of expected worldwide income before income taxes inforecasted for the current period, as well as thefiscal year ending March 31, 2020, partially offset by a net discrete tax impactbenefit, primarily driven by the favorable settlement of the goodwill impairment chargesa state income tax audit recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2016. The change in jurisdictional mix was primarily related to larger improvements in foreign income before income taxes relative to worldwide income before income taxes compared to the priorcurrent period.


Foreign income before income taxes was $133,826$47,309 and $44,153$47,481 and worldwide income before income taxes was $202,787$67,618 and $24,478$50,724 during the ninesix months ended December 31, 2017September 30, 2019 and 2016,2018, respectively. The increase in foreign income before income taxes was primarily due to an increase in foreign sales and lower foreign operating expenses during the nine months ended December 31, 2017 compared to the prior period. The decrease in foreign income before income taxes as a percentage of worldwide income before income taxes, compared to the prior period, was primarily due to decreased foreign sales as a percentage of worldwide sales.

For the Sanuk brand goodwill and patent impairment charges recorded during the ninesix months ended December 31, 2016 in additionSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018, we did not generate significant pre-tax earnings from any countries which do not impose a corporate income tax.

We expect our foreign income or loss before income taxes, as well as our effective income tax rate, will continue to improvementsfluctuate from period to period based on several factors, including the impact of our global product sourcing organization, our actual financial and operating results from sales generated in domestic operating expenses duringand foreign markets, and changes in domestic and foreign tax laws (or in the nine months ended December 31, 2017.application or interpretation of those laws). We believe the continuing evolution and expansion of our brands, our continuing strategy of enhancing product diversification, and the expected growth from our international DTC business will result in increases in foreign income or loss before income taxes, both in absolute terms and as a percentage of worldwide income or loss before income taxes. In addition, we believe our effective income tax rate will continue to be impacted by our actual foreign income or loss before income taxes relative to our actual worldwide income or loss before income taxes.


Net Income. Our netNet income increased, compared to the prior period, primarily due to higher sales andat higher gross margins, as well as lower SG&A expenses primarily driven by lower impairment and restructuring charges, described above, partially offset by higher income tax expense driven by the enactment of the Tax Reform Act.

Operating Activities. Our primary source of liquidity is net cash provided by operating activities, which is primarily driven by our net income, or loss, other cash receipts and expenditure adjustments, and changes in working capital.

The increase in net cash provided byused in operating activities during the ninesix months ended December 31, 2017September 30, 2019, compared to the prior period, was primarily due to an increasea net negative change in operating assets and liabilities of $68,170, partially offset by a positive net change in net income after non-cash adjustments of $72,365 to $93,779, primarily adjusted for depreciation and amortization, deferred tax expense and stock-based compensation.$12,750. The changechanges in deferred tax expense resulted from the re-measurement of deferred tax assets due to the enactment of the Tax Reform Act. Operatingoperating assets and liabilities were positively impactedprimarily due to net negative impacts for inventories and prepaid expenses and other current assets, partially offset by $84,752, primarily resulting from changesa net positive change in trade accounts payable, accrued expenses, income taxes payable and long-term liabilities, partially offset by changes in accounts receivable and net inventories. The changes in accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and accrued expenses are primarily due to timing differences compared to the prior period. The changes in income tax payable and long-term liabilities, which includes long-term taxes payable, was driven by the enactment of the Tax Reform Act, specifically from the deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. The increase in net inventories is primarily due to the Hoka and UGG brands to support business growth.payable.


Inventory turnover increased to 2.3 times during the trailing twelve months ended December 31, 2017 compared to2.2 times during thetwelve months ended December 31, 2016due to lower average inventory levels and higher costs of sales for the trailing twelve month comparative periods. Wholesale channel accounts receivable turnover remained flat at 5.8 times during the trailing twelve months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Investing Activities.The decreasechange in net cash used in investing activities during the ninesix months ended December 31, 2017September 30, 2019 is relatively flat, compared to the prior period, wasprimarily due to lowerhigher capital expenditures for propertyon information systems hardware, software, and equipment primarily drivenenhancements, as well as retail store facility renovations, mostly offset by lower expenditures on real property acquisitions, retail stores and showrooms, as well as and IT infrastructure andfor warehouse improvements partially offset by higher warehouse build-out costs associated withdue to the expansioncompletion of our warehouse andthe Moreno Valley distribution center located in Moreno Valley, California.the prior period.


At December 31, 2017, we had approximately $11,700 of material commitments for future capital expenditures, primarily related to the build out and expansion of the warehouse and distribution center located in Moreno Valley,

California. We estimate that the remaining capital expenditures for fiscal year 2018 will range from approximately $17,000 to $18,000. We anticipate these expenditures will primarily relate to the build-out of our global warehouse and distribution center facilities, and purchases for IT infrastructure and system improvements. However, the actual amount of our future capital expenditures may differ significantly from this estimate depending on the timing of facility build-outs, as well as unforeseen needs to replace existing assets and the timing of other expenditures.
Financing Activities.The decreaseincrease in net cash used in financing activities during the ninesix months ended December 31, 2017September 30, 2019, compared to the prior period, was primarily due to lower net borrowings and repayments of short-term borrowings and the final Sanuk brand contingent consideration payment made in the prior period,higher stock repurchases partially offset by larger share repurchases compared to the prior period. During the nine months ended December 31, 2017, we made repurchases of shares under our stock repurchase programs for $24,687 compared to $12,572 in the prior period. During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, we made the final Sanuk contingent consideration payment in the amount of $19,784.lower net borrowings.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk


Commodity Price Risk. WeRisk

For the manufacturing of our products, we purchase certain raw materials that are affected by commodity prices, the most significant of which is sheepskin.include sheepskin, leather and wool. The supply of sheepskin, which is used in certainto manufacture a significant portion of the UGG brand products, is in high demand and there are a limited number of suppliers able tothat can meet our expectations for the quantity and quality of sheepskin required.that we require. We presently rely on two tanneries to provide most of our sheepskin. While we have experienced fairly stable pricing in recent years, historically there have historically been significant changesfluctuations in the price of sheepskin as the demand for this commodity from our customers and our competitors has changed. We believe significant factors affecting the price of sheepskin has stabilizedinclude weather patterns, harvesting decisions, incidence of disease, the price of other commodities such as wool and leather, the demand for our products and the products of our competitors, and global economic conditions. Any factors that increase the demand for, or decrease the supply of, sheepskin could cause significant increases in recent years. the price of sheepskin.

We typically fix prices for all our raw materials with firm pricing agreements on a seasonal basis. For sheepskin and leather, we use purchasing contracts pricing arrangements, and refundable deposits to attempt to manage price volatility as an alternative to hedging commodity prices. The purchasing contracts and other pricing arrangements we use for sheepskin and leather may result in purchase obligations which are not reflectedrecorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. InWith respect to sheepskin and leather, in the event of significant commodity costprice increases, we will likely not be able to adjust our selling prices sufficiently to eliminate the impact of such increases on our operating margins.


Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk.Risk

Fluctuations in currency exchange rates, primarily between the US dollar and the currencies of Europe, Asia, Canada, and Latin America where we operate, may affect our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. We face market risk to the extent that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect our foreign assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We hedge certain foreign currency exchange rate risk from existing assets and liabilities. Other than changes in the amount of sales, expenses, and financial positions denominated in foreign currencies, we do not believe that there has been a material change in the nature of our primary market risk exposures, including the categories of market risk to which we are exposed and the particular markets that present the primary risk of loss. There has been recent increased volatility with respect to the exchange rates between US dollars and both British Pounds and Euros. This increased volatility may be due in part to tax, importation and other policies being contemplated by the US government, the withdrawal by the United Kingdom from the European Union (commonly referred to as Brexit) and other global economic and political issues. We do not know whether this level of volatility will increase or decrease in the future. At February 9, 2018, we are not aware of any factors that are expected to result in a material change in the general nature of our primary market risk exposure.


As of December 31, 2017, the total notional value of foreign currency exchange rate forward contracts was $62,549 and the fair value of these financial instruments, in the amount of $130 and $2,221, were recorded in other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2017, a hypothetical 10.0% foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation would have caused the fair value of our financial instruments to increase or decrease by approximately $1,000. Sensitivity analyses do not consider the actions we may take to mitigate our exposure to changes, nor do they consider the effect such hypothetical changes may have on overall economic activity. As our international operations grow and we increase purchases and sales in foreign currencies, we will continue to evaluate our hedging policy and may utilize additional derivative instruments, as needed, to hedge our foreign currency exchange rate risk. We do not use foreign currency exchange rate forward contracts for trading purposes. Subsequent to December 31, 2017, we entered into Designated Derivative Contracts with a notional value totaling $90,091, which are expected to mature over the next 15 months and no Non-Designated Derivative Contracts. Refer to Note 9, "Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Contracts and Hedging," of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on our foreign currency exchange rate forward contracts.

Although the majoritymost of our sales and inventory purchases are denominated in US currency,dollars, these sales and inventory purchases may be impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rates between the US dollar and local currencies in the international markets where our products are sold and manufactured. Our foreign currency exchange rate risk is generated primarily from our European and Asian operations. Approximately $282,119, or 34.8%, and $491,547, or 32.7%, of our total net sales for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, respectively, and $255,126, or 33.6%, and $435,659, or 30.7%, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, respectively, were denominated in foreign currencies. As we hold more cash and other monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies, weWe are exposed to financial statement transaction gains and losses as a result of remeasuring the financial positions held in foreign currencies into US dollars for subsidiariesour monetary assets and liabilities that are US-dollardenominated in currencies other than the subsidiaries’ functional and also from remeasuring the financial positions held in US dollars and foreign currencies into the functional currency of subsidiaries that are non-US-dollar functional.currencies.

Interest Rate Risk. Risk

Our market risk exposure with respect to financial instrumentsour revolving credit facilities is tied to changes in the prime rate,applicable interest rates, including ABR, the federal funds effective rate, currency-specific LIBOR, and the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). Our DomesticCDOR for our Primary Credit Facility, atPBOC market rate for our election, provides for interest on outstanding borrowings at interest rates tied to adjusted LIBOR or the Alternative Base Rate (ABR), and is variable based on our total adjusted leverage ratio each quarter. The ABR is defined as the rate per annum equal to the greater of (1) the prime rate, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, and (3) adjusted LIBOR for a one-month interest period plus 1.50%. As of December 31, 2017, the effective LIBOR and ABR rates were 3.06% and 5.00%, respectively. Our China Credit Facility, providesand TIBOR for interest on outstanding borrowings at 115.0% multiplied by the People’s Bank of China market rate, which was 4.35%, and the total effective interest rate was 5.00% as of December 31, 2017. Ourour Japan Credit Facility provides for interest on outstanding borrowings at an interest rate based on the Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate for three months plus 0.40%, and the total interest rate was 0.45% as of December 31, 2017.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures


a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures


We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures, (asas defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act, of 1934 (as amended, the Exchange Act)) which are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. In designing and evaluating

our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours is designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, the design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.


We carried out an evaluation, underUnder the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer,we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2017.September 30, 2019. Based uponon that evaluation, our Principal Executive OfficerPEO and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer (PFAO) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2017.September 30, 2019.


b) Internal Control over Financial Reporting


During the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, we updated our control framework for certain new internal controls and changes to certain existing internal controls related to the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, as amended, otherwise known as the new lease standard, and related financial statement reporting and disclosure. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the quartersix months ended December 31, 2017September 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


c) Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer Certifications


The certifications of our Principal Executive OfficerPEO and Principal Financial and Accounting OfficerPFAO required by Rule 13a-14(a) of the Exchange Act are filed herewith as Exhibit 31.1 and Exhibit 31.2, and furnished as Exhibit 32, towith this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.Report.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings


As part of our internationalglobal policing program to protect our intellectual property rights, from time to time, we file lawsuits in various jurisdictions asserting claims for alleged acts of trademark counterfeiting, trademark infringement, patent infringement, trade dress infringement and trademark dilution. AtWe generally have multiple actions such as these pending at any given point in time, we generally have multiple such actions pending.time. These actions may result in seizure of counterfeit merchandise, out of court settlements with defendants or other outcomes. In addition, from time to time, we are subject to claims wherein which opposing parties will raise, either as affirmative defenses or as counterclaims, the invalidity or unenforceability of certain of our intellectual property rights, including allegations that our UGG® (UGG)the UGG brand trademark registrations and design patents are invalid or unenforceable. Furthermore, we are aware of many instances throughout the world in which a third-party is using our UGG trademarks within its internet domain name, and we have discovered and are investigating several manufacturers and distributors of counterfeit UGG brand products.


On March 28, 2016, we filedMay 10, 2019, a lawsuit alleging trademark infringement, patent infringement, unfair competition and violation of deceptive trade practices injury for the United States (US) District Court for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division ruled in our favor in our willful trademark infringement and counterfeiting lawsuit against Australian Leather. In response, Australian Leather raisedLeather’s affirmative defense is still outstanding pending a number of affirmative defenses and counterclaims, including seeking declaratory judgment thatruling from the UGG brand trademark is invalid and unenforceable in the US, cancellation of certain of our US UGG brand trademark registrations, false designation of origin and declaratory judgment that certain of our US design patents are invalid and unenforceable. The counterclaims seek declaratory judgment, an injunction, cancellation of certain of our US trademark registrations, compensatory damages, attorneys' fees and other relief. We believe the counterclaims are without merit and intend to defend the counterclaims vigorously.court. While we believe there is no legal basis for liability, a judgment invalidatingfinding the UGG brand trademark unenforceable, such a ruling would have a material adverse effect on our business. Further, dueFollowing entry of a final judgment, the court's rulings are subject to uncertainty surrounding the litigation process, we are unable to reasonably estimate a range of loss, if any, at this time. There has been no material change in the status of the above matter since that reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 30, 2017 (2017 Annual Report).appeal.


Although we are subject to other routine legal proceedings and other disputes from time to time in the ordinary course of business, including employment, intellectual property and product liability claims, we believe that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings and other disputes in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, or cash flows. However, regardless of the outcome, resolving legal proceedings and other disputes can have an adverse impact on us because of legal costs, diversion of management's time and resources, and other factors.
