These forward-looking statements are intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements other than statements of historical fact contained in, or incorporated by reference within, this Quarterly Report. We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” or “would,” and similar expressions or the negative of these expressions. Specifically, this Quarterly Report, and the information and documents incorporated by reference within this Quarterly Report, contain forward-looking statements relating to, among other things:

the impacts of the COVID-19 global pandemic on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity, and the business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity of our customers, suppliers, and business partners;

changes in consumer preferences impacting our brands and products, and the footwear and fashion industries;
trends impacting the purchasing behavior of wholesale partners and consumers, including those impacting retail and e-commerce businesses;
bankruptcies or other financial difficulties impacting our wholesale or other business partners;

availability of raw materials and manufacturing capacity, and reliability of overseas production and storage;
commitments and contingencies, including with respect to operating leases, purchase obligations for product and raw materials, and legal or regulatory proceedings;

overall global economic, political, and social trends, including foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, changes in interest rates, and changes in commodity pricing.

Forward-looking statements represent management’s current expectations and predictions about trends affecting our business and industry and are based on information available at the time such statements are made. Although we do not make forward-looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy or completeness. Forward-looking statements involve numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements predicted, assumed, or implied by the forward-looking statements. Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to materially differ from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements are described in Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," and Part I, Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," within this Quarterly Report, as well as in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). You should read this Quarterly Report, including the information and documents incorporated by reference herein, in its entirety and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from the results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Moreover, new risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause our actual future results to be materially different from any results expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law or the listing rules of the New York Stock Exchange, we expressly disclaim any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements. We qualify all our forward-looking statements with these cautionary statements.

(dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
Note 1. General

The Company. Deckers Outdoor Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) are global leaders in designing, marketing, and distributing innovative footwear, apparel, and accessories developed for both everyday casual lifestyle use and high-performance activities. As part of its omni-channel platform, the Company's proprietary brands are aligned across its Fashion Lifestyle group, which includes the UGG and Koolaburra brands, and Performance Lifestyle group, which includes the HOKA, Teva, and Sanuk brands.

The Company sells its products through domestic and international retailers, international distributors, and directly to its global consumers through its Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) business, which is comprised of its retail stores and e‑commerce websites. Independent third-party contractors manufacture all of the Company's products. A significant part of the Company's business is seasonal, requiring it to build inventory levels during certain quarters in its fiscal year to support higher selling seasons, which contributes to variation in its results from quarter to quarter.

Basis of Presentation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto (referred to herein as condensed consolidated financial statements) as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and for the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020 wereare prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP) for interim financial information pursuant to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X issued by the SEC. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required by US GAAP for annual financial statements and accompanying notes thereto. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 wasis derived from the Company's audited condensed consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring entries necessary to fairly present the results of the interim periods presented but are not necessarily indicative of actual results to be achieved for full fiscal years or other interim periods. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 (prior fiscal year), which was filed with the SEC on May 28, 2021 (2021 Annual Report).

Consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Deckers Outdoor Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications. Certain amounts from prior periods presented in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified within net cash (used in) provided by operating activities to conform to the current period presentation, which had no net effect on our cash flows from operating activities. The prior periods presented generally include reclassifications between the following: Other long-term liabilities to Gain on settlement of asset retirement obligations and from Other assets to Amortization on cloud computing arrangements.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Management bases these estimates and assumptions upon historical experience, existing and known circumstances, authoritative accounting pronouncements, and other factors that management believes to be reasonable. In addition, the Company has considered the potential impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic (pandemic) on its business and operations. Although the full impact of the pandemic is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company believes it has made appropriate accounting estimates and assumptions based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. However, actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions, which may result in material effects on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity. To the extent there are differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements may be materially affected.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Accounting Standard Updates (ASUs) that have been recently adopted and not yet adopted by the Company for its annual and interim reporting periods, as stated below.

Recently Adopted. The following is a summary of each ASU recently adopted during the three months ended June 30, 2021by and theits impact on the Company upon its adoption was as follows:Company:

StandardDescriptionImpact Upon Adoption
ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
Removes certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intra-period allocation, and calculating income taxes in interim periods, and reduces complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group.The Company adopted this ASU on a retrospective basis beginning April 1, 2021 and concluded that this ASU did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Not Yet Adopted. The applicablefollowing is a summary of each ASU issued that is applicable to and has not yet been adopted, by the Company, as well as the planned period of adoption and the expected impact on the Company upon its adoption, is as follows:

adoption:
StandardDescriptionPlanned Period of AdoptionExpected Impact Upon Adoption
ASU No. 2020-04, 
Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting
(as amended by ASU 2021-01)
London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) is a benchmark interest rate referenced in a variety of agreements that are used by all types of entities. At the end of 2021, banks will no longer be required to report information that is used to determine LIBOR. As a result, LIBOR could be discontinued. Other interest rates used globally could also be discontinued for similar reasons.

This ASU provides companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. Guidance is limited for adoption through December 31, 2022.
Q3 FY 2023The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU; however, the Company does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 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 they have the ability to 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.

Variable Consideration. Components of variable consideration include estimated sales discounts, markdowns or chargebacks, and sales returns. Estimates for variable consideration are based on the amounts earned or estimates to be claimed as an adjustment to sales. Estimated variable consideration is included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of the cumulative revenue 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 to 60 days.

Sales Return Liability. Reserves are recorded for anticipated future returns of goods shipped prior to the end of the reporting period. In general, the Company accepts returns for damaged or defective products for up to one year. The Company also has a policy whereby returns are generally accepted from customers between 30 to 90 days from the point of sale for cash or credit. Amounts of these reserves are based on known and actual returns, historical returns, and any recent events that could result in a change from historical return rates.

Contract liabilities are performance obligations that the Company expects to satisfy or relieve within the next 12 months, advance consideration obtained prior to satisfying a performance obligation, or unconditional obligations to provide goods or services under non-cancelable contracts before the transfer of goods or services to the customer has occurred. Contract assets and liabilities are recorded in other current assets and other accrued expenses respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Refer to Note 11, “Reportable Operating Segments,” for further information on the Company's disaggregation of revenue by reportable operating segment.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements
The accounting standard for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value, which 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 summarizes the three levels of inputs required:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and 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 Company to develop its own assumptions.

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments, which principally include cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, net; trade accounts payable, accrued payroll, and other accrued expenses, approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying amount of the Company’s short-term borrowings, which are considered Level 2 liabilities, approximates fair value based upon current rates and terms available to the Company for similar debt.

Assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

The Company sponsors a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that permits a select group of management employees to defer earnings to a future date on a non-qualified basis. Deferred compensation is recognized based on the fair value of the participants' accounts. A rabbi trust was established as a reserve for benefits payable under this plan, with the assets invested in Company-owned life insurance policies.

The fair value of foreign currency forward or option contracts are determined using quoted forward spot rates at the end of the applicable reporting period from counterparties, which are corroborated by market-based pricing (Level 2). The fair values of assets and liabilities associated with derivative instruments and hedging activities are recorded in other current assets and other accrued expenses, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 8, “Derivative Instruments,” for further information, including definitions of the terms Designated Derivative Contracts and Non-Designated Derivative Contracts.

Although the results of legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company currently believes that the final outcome of these ordinary course matters will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on it business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. However, regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of legal costs, diversion of management time and resources, and other factors.

Subsequent to June 30, 2021 through July 29,August 2021, the Company granted 24,495approved awards under the 2015 SIP for the issuance of PSUs (2022 LTIP PSUs) at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $432.17 per share,, which were awarded to certain members of the Company's management team, including the Company's named executive officers and vice presidents. The 2022 LTIP PSUs are subject to vesting based on service conditions over three years.

Performance Periods). To the extent financial performance is achieved above the threshold levels for each of these performance criteria, the number of 2022 LTIP PSUs that vest will increase up to a maximum of 200% of the targeted amount for that award. No vesting of any portion of the 2022 LTIP PSUs will occur if the Company fails to achieve the minimum revenue and pre-tax income amounts for each reporting period equal to at least 100% of the threshold amounts for these criteria. Following the determination of the Company’s achievement with respect to the revenue and pre-tax income criteria for the Measurement Periods, the vesting of each 2022 LTIP PSU will be subject to adjustment based on the application of a relative TSR modifier. The amount of the adjustment will be determined based on a comparison of the Company's TSR relative to the TSR of a pre-determined set of peer group companies for the Performance Periods. A Monte-Carlo simulation model was used to determine the grant date fair value by simulating a range of possible future stock prices for the Company and each member of the peer group over the Performance Periods.

The Company granted awards at the target performance level of 26,347 2022 LTIP PSUs during the three months ended September 30, 2021. The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of these 2022 LTIP PSUs was $435.94. Based on the Company's current long-range forecast, the Company determined that the achievement of at least the target performance criteria for these awards was probable as of the grant date.

Future unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for the target level of all LTIP PSUs outstanding as of September 30, 2021, including the 2022 LTIP PSUs discussed above, the 19,890 2021 LTIP PSUs issued in March 2021, and the 38,174 2020 LTIP PSUs issued in September 2019, is $20,351.

Note 8. Derivative Instruments

The Company may enter into foreign currency forward or option contracts (derivative contracts), generally with maturities of 15 months or less, to manage foreign currency risk on expected cash flows and certain existing assets and liabilities, primarily intercompany balances. Certain of these derivative contracts are designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted sales (Designated Derivative Contracts). The Company may also enter into derivative contracts that are not designated as cash flow hedges (Non-Designated Derivative Contracts), to offset a portion of anticipated gains and losses on certain intercompany balances until the expected time of repayment. The after-tax unrealized gains or losses from changes in the fair value of Designated Derivative Contracts are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) and are reclassified to net sales in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income in the same period or periods as the related sales are recognized. The Company includes all hedge components in its assessment of effectiveness for its derivative contracts.

Changes in the fair value of Non-Designated Derivative Contracts are recorded in SG&A expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The changes in fair value for these contracts are generally offset by the remeasurement gains or losses associated with the underlying foreign currency-denominated intercompany balances, which are recorded in SG&A expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, the Company hadhas the following derivative contracts recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets:

Excluded Awards. The equity awards excluded from the calculation of the dilutive effect have been excluded due to one of the following: (1) the shares were anti-dilutive; (2) the necessary conditions had not been satisfied for the shares to be deemed issuable based on the Company's performance for the relevant performance period; or (3) the Company recorded a net loss during the period presented (such that inclusion of these equity awards in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive). The number of shares stated for each of these excluded awards is the maximum number of shares issuable pursuant to these awards. For those awards subject to the achievement of performance criteria, the actual number of shares to be issued pursuant to such awards will be based on Company performance in future periods, net of forfeitures, and may be materially lower than the number of shares presented, which could result in a lower dilutive effect, respectively.

Note 11. Reportable Operating Segments

Information reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), who is the Company's Chief Executive Officer (CEO), President, and Principal Executive Officer (PEO), is organized into the Company's 6 reportable operating segments and is consistent with how the CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources. The Company does not consider international operations to be a separate reportable operating segment, and the CODM reviews such operations in the aggregate with the reportable operating segments.

The Company evaluates reportable operating segment performance primarily based on net sales and income (loss) from operations. The wholesale operations of each brand are generally managed separately because each requires different marketing, research and development, design, sourcing, and sales strategies. The income (loss) from operations of each of the reportable operating segments includes only those costs which are specifically related to each reportable operating segment, which consist primarily of cost of sales, research and development, design, sales and marketing, depreciation, amortization, and the direct costs of employees within those reportable operating segments. The Company does not allocate corporate overhead costs or non-operating income and expenses to reportable operating segments, which include unallocable overhead costs associated with the Company's warehouse and distribution centers (DC), certain executive and stock-based compensation, accounting,

Certain statements made in this section constitute "forward-looking statements," which are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those described in this section. Our actual results of operations may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth in the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," within this Quarterly Report.

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-performance activities. We market our products primarily under five proprietary brands: UGG, HOKA, Teva, Sanuk, and Koolaburra. We believe that our products are distinctive and appeal to a broad demographic. We sell our products through quality domestic and international retailers, international distributors, and directly to our global consumers through our DTC business, which is comprised of our e-commerce websites and retail stores. We seek to differentiate our brands and products by offering diverse lines that emphasize authenticity, functionality, quality, and comfort, and products tailored to a variety of activities, seasons, and demographic groups. All of our products are currently manufactured by independent third-party manufacturers.

Trends and Uncertainties Impacting Our Business and Industry

We expect our business and the industry in which we operate will continue to be impacted by several important trends and uncertainties, including the following:
COVID-19 Pandemic

Geographic regions in which we operate, includingand our Company-owned retail stores, and in which our wholesalebusiness partners manufacturers, and suppliers operate continue to experience the impacts of the pandemic, particularly in light of theincluding recent increases in the number of positive COVID-19 cases. While wecases in certain locations, which may result in additional or prolonged facility closures, further disrupt our supply chain, prompt changes in consumer behavior, or reduce discretionary spending. Such factors are beyond our control and could elicit further actions and recommendations from governments and public health officials which could negatively impact our business and results of operations. We believe the actions we have taken to respond to the pandemic, combined with our strong brands, diversified product portfolio, and favorable liquidity position have resulted in strong operational performance throughouthelped to mitigate the pandemic, the full impact of the pandemic on our business continuesthus far, however the impacts from the pandemic continue to be uncertain and subject to change.

Supply Chain

Similar to other companies in our industry, our owned DC as well as our network of strategic sourcing partners, which includes material vendors third-party logistics providers, third-party carriers, and third-party manufacturers, are actively experiencing disruptionsdelays and delaysdisruptions related to global COVID-19 outbreaks, including government-mandated shutdowns. However, due to the closurelow exposure of certain manufacturingour partners' facilities in Southern Vietnam, combined with our dual sourcing capabilities enabling production shifts to alternate locations, our strategic product prioritization, and the seasonality of our business, we have been able to mitigate against significant production disruptions thus far. Consequently, we currently do not expect such sourcing and production lines. We are also experiencingdisruptions to cause a material negative top-line net sales effect on our results of operations for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 (current fiscal year). Furthermore, as part of our ongoing sourcing strategy, production capacity constraints and cost pressure related to container shortages and port congestion that are causing shipping delays and may lead to higher usage of air freight and higher container shipment costs in future periods. These challengeshas been added or reallocated within existing sourcing partners, while additional long-term strategy sourcing partners have been exacerbated by shifts in global consumer demand, which is requiring usonboarded to scale our operations while managing through capacity constraints. We expect certain aspects of these supply chain disruptions may continue, although the exact timing cannot be accurately predicted. As these disruptions continue, the timing of sales to our wholesale partners and consumers may be impacted as we work to manage product availability and inventory levels. However, we remain focused on mitigating the impacts of the ongoing disruptions by optimizing our inventory management to align our inventory levels with consumer demand.

diversify our country level manufacturing and sourcing lines. These efforts are intended to support our growing brands as well as mitigate against similar localized risks prospectively.

Although our distribution centers, including our owned DC and third-party logistics (3PL) providers, are currently operating and supporting ongoing logistics, certain of these facilities continue to experience operational challenges. These challenges may result in delays distributing our products and cost pressures in future periods, which may have an adverse effect on our results of operations. For example, we have experienced start-up challenges during the transition to our new European 3PL which we expect will result in additional supply chain pressures as they refine their system and delivery levels, but we are working closely with them to improve the efficiency of their operations. While the transition has been difficult in the current logistics environment, we believe this is a critical investment to create long-term capacity that will facilitate anticipated growth in the UGG and HOKA brands in future periods.

The most significant macro-level supply chain impacts we have experienced in our current fiscal year are extended transit times and cost pressures related to container shortages, port congestion, and trucking scarcity, which worsened through our second fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021 (second fiscal quarter). For example, in light of these ongoing constraints, our inventory in transit as of the end of our current second fiscal quarter was significantly higher than our inventory in transit as of the end of our historical fiscal quarters ended September 30th. Additionally, our increased usage of air freight, together with higher ocean container shipment and trucking costs, has elevated our transportation and logistics costs and may negatively impact our gross margin in future periods, particularly as we seek to maintain strategic product launch timelines. As these supply chain disruptions continue and we work to manage product availability, the timing of sales to our wholesale partners and consumers may continue to be impacted, including the possibility of order cancellations. However, we remain focused on mitigating the impacts of these ongoing disruptions, including the early procurement of inventory which will likely result in higher levels of inventory to allow us to maintain expected service levels, while acting as a hedge to other inflationary pressures into our next fiscal year ending March 31, 2023.

We arecontinue making infrastructure investments to support our scaling business, including investments in our global distribution and logistics capabilities, end-to-end planning systems, and e-commerce platforms, and implementing localized marketing strategies. In addition, we are making investments inplatforms. For example, our people and expanding our hiring effortsnew US DC is expected to support scaling our organization. Although we implemented a number of temporary measures to reduce our operating expensesbegin limited operations during our priorthird fiscal year ended Marchquarter ending December 31, 2021, (prior fiscal year)and we expect this to offset impactscreate long-term capacity for the growth of the pandemic, we resumed discretionary spending during our first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021 (first fiscal quarter)UGG and anticipate making these significant investments to support our business through the remainder of our fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 (current fiscal year) and beyond.HOKA brands.

Workforce

We are encountering ongoing challenges with recruiting, training, and retaining quality candidates to staff our DC operations as we increasingly compete with other companies that require additional personnel to support their growing e-commerce operations and meet heightened consumer demand. We have increasingly offered higher wages to our DC employees to positively impact attrition and remain competitive in the job market. We may continue to experience DC employee attrition and retention issues as we seek to employ part-time and seasonal personnel during periods of heightened consumer demand, particularly as we compete with companies that employ personnel full-time. We have and will continue to monitor and evaluate mitigation strategies for our DC employees while meeting local safety operating guidelines.

Consumer Shopping Patterns

As government restrictions surrounding the pandemic have eased, allowing consumers to return to physical retail stores, we experienced reduced traffic to our e-commerce websites during our first fiscal quarter. The recent fluctuations in consumer spending patterns have resulted in a channel mix shift. However, our aggregated DTC channel mix is above our historical pre-pandemic levels. Further, we believe DTC channel demand will continue to increase as we prioritize consumer acquisition and experience strong demand for the HOKA and UGG brands. Our long-term growth strategy remains focused on building our DTC channel to represent an increasing portion of our total net sales.

Approximately 66%Table of our global Company-owned retail stores were open for our entire first fiscal quarter, compared to approximately 20% in the same period in our prior fiscal year. Further, as of July 29, 2021, all of our Company-owned retail stores have reopened. However, given the ongoing and uncertain pandemic conditions, which include local and regional differences in expert agency guidance and local authority mandates, we anticipate that temporary retail store closures in certain geographic regions may continue for at least a portion of our second fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021 and beyond.Contents

Brand and Omni-Channel Strategy

We remain focused on accelerating consumer adoption of the HOKA brand globally to execute our long-term growth strategy, including through our optimized digital marketing strategy. The HOKA brand’s growth has been balanced across its ecosystem of access points, with all geographic regions and distribution channels experiencing significant year-round growth, which has positively impacted our seasonality trends. We expect our e-commerce business for the HOKA brand will continue to be a key driver of long-term growth. We intend to focus our efforts on consumer acquisition in key markets and launching innovative product offerings to increase category adoption and market share gains with existing consumers in order to drive brand performance. WhileFor example, we anticipate meaningfulopened the HOKA brand's first owned and operated retail stores in China and launched HOKA brand growth will continue throughout our current fiscal year, we do not expect that the growth rate our HOKA brand experiencedpop-up stores in North America during our firstsecond fiscal quarter will be matchedto build upon the HOKA brand's retail strategy and define the optimal consumer experience and concept for the HOKA brand. We plan to open additional locations in future periods.China in the near term.

Consumer demand for UGG brand product offerings remains healthy, with strong performance driven primarily by global wholesale channels, as well as growth of international DTC. Our successful implementation of our marketplace reset strategystrategies in Europe and the ongoing implementation in Asia hashave continued to drive UGG brand heatawareness and buildconsumer acquisition through building a foundation of diversified and counter-seasonal product acceptance, especially with younger consumers, which is fueling a healthier product mix and reducing the need for promotional activity, particularly in Europe. We believe that continuing to showcase these product offerings through localized marketing investments and converting a higher percentage of consumers to repeat purchases across diverse product categories including through our loyalty program, will fuel global demand for the UGG brand throughout our current fiscal year.

Reportable Operating Segment Overview

Our six reportable operating segments include the worldwide wholesale operations of the UGG brand, HOKA brand, Teva brand, Sanuk brand, and Other brands, as well as DTC. Information reported to the CODM, who is our CEO, President, and PEO, is organized into these reportable operating segments and is consistent with how the CODM evaluates our performance and allocates resources.

UGG Brand. The UGG brand is one of the most iconic and recognized brands in our industry, which highlights our successful track record of building niche brands into lifestyle and fashion market leaders. With loyal consumers around the world, the UGG brand has proven to be a highly resilient line of premium footwear, apparel, and accessories with expanded product offerings and a growing global audience that appeals to a broad demographic.

We believe demand for UGG brand products will continue to be driven by the following:

Successful acquisition of a diverse consumer base.
High consumer brand loyalty due to consistent delivery of quality and luxuriously comfortable footwear, apparel, and accessories.
Diversification of our footwear product offerings, such as Women's spring and summer lines, as well as expanded category offerings for Men's products.
Expansion of apparel, home goods, and accessories businesses.

HOKA Brand. The HOKA brand is an authentic premium line of year-round performance footwear that offers enhanced cushioning and inherent stability with minimal weight, apparel, and accessories. Originally designed for ultra-runners, the brand now appeals to world champions, taste makers, and everyday athletes. The HOKA brand is quickly becoming a leading brand within run-specialty wholesale accounts, with strong marketing fueling both domestic and international sales growth, bolstering the brand's net sales, which continue to increase as a percentage of our aggregate net sales. We continue to build product extensions in trail and fitness.

We believe demand for HOKA brand products will continue to be driven by the following:

Leading product innovation and key franchise management, including higher frequency product drop rates.
Increased global brand awareness and new consumer adoption through enhanced global marketing activations and online consumer acquisition, including building a more diverse outdoor community through in-person event sponsorship.
Category extensions in authentic performance footwear offerings such as lifestyle acceleration through the trail and hiking categories.

Teva Brand. The Teva brand created the very first sport sandal when it was founded in the Grand Canyon in 1984. Since then the Teva brand has grown into a multi-category modern outdoor lifestyle brand offering a range of performance, casual, and trail lifestyle products, and has emerged as a leader in footwear sustainability observed through recent growth fueled by young and diverse consumers passionate for the outdoors and the planet.

23

Table of Contents
We believe demand for Teva brand products will continue to be driven by the following:

Authentic outdoor heritage and a reputation for quality, comfort, sustainability, and performance in any terrain.
Increasing brand awareness due to outdoor lifestyle participation amongst younger consumers.
Category extensions in performance hike footwear, including key franchises.

Sanuk Brand. The Sanuk brand originated in Southern California surf culture and has emerged into a lifestyle brand with a presence in the relaxed casual shoe and sandal categories with a focus on innovation in comfort and sustainability. The Sanuk brand’s use of unexpected materials and unconventional constructions, combined with its fun and playful branding, are key elements of the brand's identity.

Other Brands. Other brands consist primarily of the Koolaburra by UGG brand. The Koolaburra brand is a casual footwear fashion line using sheepskin and other plush materials and is intended to target the value-oriented consumer in order to complement the UGG brand offering.

Direct-to-Consumer. Our DTC business encompasses all of our brands and is comprised of our retail stores and e-commerce websites which, in an omni-channel marketplace, are intertwined and interdependent. We believe many of our consumers interact with both our retail stores and websites before making purchasing decisions and purchase online and in store.

E-Commerce Business. Our e-commerce business provides us with an opportunity to directly engage with and communicate a consistent brand message to consumers that is in line with our brands’ promises, drives awareness of key brand initiatives, offers targeted information to specific consumer demographics, and drives consumers to our retail stores. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, we operatedoperate our e-commerce business through Company-owned websites and mobile platforms in 58 different countries, for which the net sales are recorded in our DTC reportable operating segment.

Retail Business. Our global Company-owned retail stores are predominantly UGG brand concept stores and UGG brand outlet stores, though also include recent openings of HOKA brand concept 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.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, we hadhave a total of 141145 global retail stores, which includes 7276 concept stores and 69 outlet stores. While we generally open retail store locations during our second or third fiscal quarters and consider closures of retail stores during our fourth fiscal quarter, the timing of such openings and closures may vary. We will continue to evaluate our retail store fleet strategy in response to changes in consumer demand and retail store traffic patterns.

Flagship Stores. Included in the total count of global concept stores are seven UGG brandeight flagship stores, which are lead concept stores in certain key markets and prominent locations designed to showcase the UGG brand products.or HOKA brand products in mono branded stores. Primarily located in major tourist locations, these stores are typically larger than our general concept stores with broader product offerings and greater traffic than our general concept stores.traffic. We anticipate continuing to operate a curated fleet of flagship stores to enhance theour interaction with our consumers and increase brand loyalty. The net sales for these stores are recorded in our DTC reportable operating segment.

Shop-in-Shop Stores. Included in the total count of global concept stores are 2729 shop-in-shop (SIS) stores, defined as concept stores for which we own the inventory and that are operated by us or non-employees within a department store, which we lease from the store owner by paying a percentage of SIS store sales. The net sales for these stores are recorded in our DTC reportable operating segment.

Partner Retail Stores. We rely on partner retail stores for the UGG and HOKA brands. Partner retail stores are branded stores that are wholly owned and operated by third parties and not included in the total count of global Company-owned retail stores. When a partner retail store is opened, or a store is converted into a partner retail store, the related net sales are recorded in each respective brand's wholesale reportable operating segment, as applicable.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Throughout this Quarterly Report we provide certain financial information on a constant currency basis, excluding the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, which we disclose in addition to the financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with US GAAP. We provide these non-GAAP financial measures to provide information that may assist investors in understanding our financial results and assessing our prospects for future performance. However, the information included within this Quarterly Report that is presented on a constant currency basis, as we present such information, may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled information presented by other companies, and may not be appropriate measures for comparing the performance of other companies relative to us. For example, 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 remeasurements in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Further, we report comparable DTC sales on a constant currency basis for DTC operations that were open throughout the current and prior reporting periods, and we may adjust prior reporting periods to conform to current year accounting policies.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to represent and should not be considered to be more meaningful measures than, or alternatives to, measures of operating performance as determined in accordance with US GAAP. 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. We believe evaluating certain financial and operating measures on a constant currency basis is important as it excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations that are not indicative of our core results of operations and are largely outside of our control.

Seasonality

Our business is seasonal, with the highest percentage of UGG and Koolaburra 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 the UGG brand relative to our other brands, our aggregate net sales in the quarters ending September 30th and December 31st still significantly exceed our aggregate net sales in the quarters ending March 31st and June 30th. However, as we continue to take steps to diversify and expand our product offerings by creating more year-round styles, and as net sales of the HOKA brand continue to increase as a percentage of our aggregate net sales, we expect the impact from seasonality to continue to decrease over time. However, it is unclear whether seasonal impacts will be minimized or exaggerated in future periods as a result of the disruptions and uncertainties caused by the pandemic.

Total net sales increased primarily due to higher UGG and HOKA brand wholesale sales, as well as higher HOKA brand DTC sales, partially offset by lower UGG brand DTC sales. Further, we experienced an increase of 11.8% in total volume of pairs sold to 12,300 from 11,000, compared to the prior period. On a constant currency basis, net sales increased by 14.8%, compared to the prior period. Drivers of significant changes in net sales, compared to the prior period, were as follows:

Wholesale net sales of the UGG brand increased primarily due to higher sales in North America, including the benefit of the UGG brand lapping disruptions from the pandemic during our prior fiscal year, as well as growth across a diversified product lineup, particularly for non-core Women's products, as well as our Men's and Kids' product lines. These effects were impacted by supply chain constraints, including extended transit lead times for fall shipments and the impacts of our transition to our new European 3PL.

Wholesale net sales of the HOKA brand increased primarily due to higher sales in North America and Europe resulting from market share gains, including new consumer acquisition, driven by increased brand awareness through expanded sponsorship events and digital marketing, as well as core franchise updates.

DTC net sales increased primarily due to higher global HOKA brand sales, partially offset by lower domestic UGG brand sales driven by lapping the benefit of consumer demand online in our prior fiscal year. Comparable DTC net sales for the 13 weeks ended September 26, 2021 increased by 1.0%, compared to the same prior period.

International sales, which are included in the reportable operating segment sales presented above, represented 28.7% and 31.5% of total net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in international net sales as a percentage of total net sales was primarily driven by a higher rate of domestic sales for the HOKA brand in all channels and the UGG brand in the wholesale channel. However, international net sales increased by 5.7% compared to the prior period, primarily due to higher HOKA brand sales across all channels in Europe, partially offset by a decrease in wholesale channel sales for the UGG brand in Europe due to the impacts arising out of our transition to our new European 3PL. These effects were further impacted by supply chain constraints, including extended transit lead times.

Gross Profit.Gross profit as a percentage of net sales (gross margin) decreased to 50.9% from 51.2%, compared to the prior period, primarily due to higher freight costs, including usage of air freight, and unfavorable channel mix resulting from increased penetration of the wholesale versus DTC channels, partially offset by favorable product mix for the UGG and HOKA brands, favorable HOKA brand mix, favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and fewer closeouts.

27


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.The net increase in SG&A expenses, compared to the prior period, was primarily the result of:

Increased variable advertising and promotion expenses of approximately $19,500, primarily due to higher digital marketing and advertising expenses for the UGG, HOKA, and Teva brands to drive global brand awareness and market share gains, highlight new product categories, and provide localized marketing.

Increased payroll and related costs of approximately $14,500, primarily due to higher headcount, including for warehousing teams, and other related compensation.

Increased other variable net selling expenses of approximately $9,900, primarily due to higher warehousing fees, as well as e-commerce technology costs and shipping supplies due to higher sales and commissions, and higher operating costs for retail store re-openings.

Increased other operating expenses of approximately $4,900, primarily due to higher information technology costs, travel expenses, and general insurance premiums.

Increased foreign currency-related losses of $1,700, primarily driven by unfavorable changes in the US dollar exchange rate against Canadian and Chinese foreign currency exchange rates.

Decreased expenses for allowances for trade accounts receivable of approximately $2,100, primarily due to a decrease in bad debt expense to account for the lower risk of wholesale customer payment defaults resulting from the ongoing recovery from the pandemic.

The decrease in total income from operations, compared to the prior period, was due to higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales as well as lower gross margin, partially offset by higher net sales. Drivers of significant net changes in total income from operations, compared to the prior period, were as follows:

The increase in income from operations of UGG brand wholesale was due to higher net sales, as well as lower bad debt expenses, partially offset by higher variable marketing expenses.

The increase in income from operations of HOKA brand wholesale was primarily due to higher net sales, as well as lower bad debt expenses, partially offset by lower gross margin and higher variable marketing expenses.

The decrease in income from operations of DTC was primarily due to higher variable marketing and selling expenses, higher retail operating costs, and higher variable e-commerce operating costs, partially offset by higher net sales at higher gross margin.

28


The increase in unallocated overhead costs was primarily due to higher payroll and related costs due to higher headcount, including for warehouse teams, as well as higher operating expenses, including warehousing fees, insurance costs, and information technology, in addition to higher foreign currency-related losses.

Other Expense, Net. The decrease in total other expense, net, compared to the prior period, was primarily due to a lower interest expense resulting from the repayment of our mortgage during our prior fiscal year.

Income Tax Expense.Income tax expense and our effective income tax rate were as follows:
Three Months Ended September 30,
20212020
Income tax expense$25,617 $26,410 
Effective income tax rate20.1 %20.6 %

The decrease in our effective income tax rate, compared to the prior period, was primarily due to lower income from operations as well as changes in the jurisdictional mix of worldwide income before income taxes forecasted for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022, partially offset by lower net discrete tax benefits, primarily driven by increased reserves net of additional tax deductions for stock-based compensation recorded in the current period.

Foreign income before income taxes was $37,393 and $49,793and worldwide income before income taxes was $127,680 and $127,964 during the three months ended September 30, 2021and 2020, respectively. 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 higher domestic sales as a percentage of worldwide sales.

Refer to the section “Six Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2020," below for further details on our pre-tax earnings and the effective income tax rate for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022.

Net Income.The increase in net income, compared to the prior period, was due to higher net sales at lower gross margins, higher SG&A expenses, and lower income tax expense. Net income per share increased, compared to the prior period, due to higher net income, combined with lower weighted-average common shares outstanding driven by higher stock repurchases.

Total Other Comprehensive Loss, Net of Tax. The increase in total other comprehensive loss, net of tax, compared to the prior period, was primarily due to higher foreign currency translation losses relating to changes to our net asset position for unfavorable Asian and European foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by higher unrealized gains on cash flow hedges.

Total net sales increased primarily due to higher UGG, HOKA, and Teva brand wholesale sales, as well as higher HOKA brand DTC sales, partially offset by lower UGG brand DTC sales. Further, we experienced an increase of 80.0%34.5% in total volume of pairs sold to 9,90022,200 from 5,50016,500 compared to the prior period. On a constant currency basis, net sales increased by 76.1%33.9% compared to the prior period. Drivers of significant changes in net sales, compared to the prior period, were as follows:

Wholesale net sales of the UGG brand increased primarily due to higher global sell-in of product, includingsales in North America and Asia. The increase in sales included the benefit of the UGG brand lapping disruptions from the pandemic during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The UGG brand wholesale channel also experienced higher replenishment orders ahead of its core selling season due to depleted inventory at our domestic wholesale partners caused by higher sell-through in our prior fiscal year. The UGG brand's global wholesale partners also received earlier fallyear, as well as growth across a diversified product shipments to mitigate macro-economiclineup, particularly for non-core Women's products, as well as our Men's and Kids' product lines. These effects were impacted by supply chain pressures.constraints, including extended transit lead times for fall shipments and the impacts of our transition to our new European 3PL.

Wholesale net sales of the HOKA brand increased primarily due to higher global expansion ofsales resulting from market share gains, including reaching new customers,consumer acquisition, driven by increased brand awareness through expanded marketing, including a return of in-personsponsorship events and digital marketing, as well as core key franchise updates.

Wholesale net sales of the Teva brand increased primarily due to accelerated domestic demand for Teva brand products, as well as positive impacts of recovery from the pandemic, including increased store traffic and higher reorders from our wholesale partners through the brands' peak sell-in period.

DTC net sales increased primarily due to higher global net sales for the HOKA brand as well as higher international net sales, for the UGG brand, including benefits from localized marketing investments in Europe and Asia, partially offset by lower domestic sales for the UGG brand insales driven by lapping the slipper category, compared to thebenefit of consumer demand online during our prior period.fiscal year. Due to the disruption of our retail store base throughout the threesix months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we are not reporting a comparable DTC net sales metric for our firstyear-to-date second fiscal quarter.

International net sales, which are included in the reportable operating segment net sales presented above, represented 33.4%30.6% and 34.9%32.5% of total net sales for the threesix months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. International net sales increased by 70.5% compared to the prior period, primarily due to higher net sales in Europe and Asia for the UGG brand, particularly for the wholesale channel, as well as for the HOKA brand across all channels. The decrease in international net sales as a percentage of total net sales was primarily driven by higher domestic sales as a percentage of worldwide sales,primarily due to a higher rate of domestic sales for the HOKA brand in all channels as well as the UGG and Teva brands in the wholesale channelchannel. However, international net sales increased by 27.4% compared to the prior period, primarily due to higher net sales for the UGG, HOKA and Teva brands.UGG brands in Europe and Asia across all channels.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The net increase in SG&A expenses, compared to the prior period, was primarily the result of the following:

Increased payroll and related costs of approximately $24,800,$38,600, primarily due to higher warehousing costsheadcount, including for higher headcountwarehouse teams, and wages, outside services, and long-term incentive performance-basedother related compensation.

We expect our foreign income or loss before income taxes, as well as our effective income tax rate, will continue to fluctuate from period to period based on several factors, including the impact of our global product sourcing organization, our actual results of operations from sales generated in domestic and foreign markets, and changes in domestic and foreign tax laws (or in the application or interpretation of those laws). Foreign income before income taxes will continue to grow in the long-term, in both absolute terms and as a percentage of worldwide income before income taxes, as we focus on the global composition of our business, localized strategies for international markets, and investments in international regions. In addition, we believe our effective income tax rate will be impacted by our actual foreign income or loss before income taxes relative to our actual worldwide income or loss before income taxes.

Liquidity

We finance our working capital and operating requirements using a combination of our cash and cash equivalents balances, cash provided from ongoing operating activities, and, to a lesser extent, available borrowings under our revolving credit facilities. Our working capital requirements begin when we purchase raw materials and inventories and continue until we ultimately collect the resulting trade accounts receivable. Given the historical seasonality of our business, our working capital requirements fluctuate significantly throughout the fiscal year, and we are required to utilize available cash to build inventory levels during certain quarters in our fiscal year to support higher selling seasons.

While we are subject to uncertainty surrounding the pandemic, we believe our cash and cash equivalents balances, cash provided from ongoing operating activities, and available borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, will provide sufficient liquidity to enable us to meet our working capital requirements and timely service our debt obligations for at least the next 12 months.

During the threesix months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, no cash and cash equivalents were repatriated. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, we had $180,797have $126,904 of cash and cash equivalents outside the US and held by foreign subsidiaries, a portion of which may be subject to additional foreign withholding taxes if it were to be repatriated. We continue to evaluate our cash repatriation strategy and we currently anticipate repatriating current and future unremitted earnings of non-US subsidiaries, to the extent they have been and will be subject to US tax, if such cash is not required to fund ongoing foreign operations. Our cash repatriation strategy, and by extension, our liquidity, may be impacted by several additional considerations, which include clarifications of, future changes to, or interpretations of global tax law and regulations, and our actual earnings for current and future periods. Refer to Note 5, “Income Taxes,” of our consolidated financial statements in Part IV of our 2021 Annual Report for further information on the impacts of the recent Tax Reform Act.

We continue to evaluate our capital allocation strategy and to consider further opportunities to utilize our global cash resources in a way that will profitably grow our business, meet our strategic objectives, and drive stockholder value, including by potentially repurchasing additional shares of our common stock. Our Board of Directors approved an additional authorization of $750,000 during April 2021 to repurchase our common stock under the same conditions as our prior stock repurchase program. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, the aggregate remaining approved amount under our stock repurchase programs was $728,495.is $674,687. Our stock repurchase programs do not obligate us to acquire any amount of common stock and may be suspended at any time at our discretion. Subsequent to September 30, 2021 through October 21, 2021, we repurchased 130,517 shares for $46,684 at an average price of $357.69 per share, and have $628,003 remaining authorized under our stock repurchase programs.

Our liquidity may be further impacted by additional factors, including our results of operations, the strength of our brands, impacts of seasonality and weather conditions, our ability to respond to changes in consumer preferences and tastes, the timing of capital expenditures and lease payments, our ability to collect our trade accounts receivables in a timely manner and effectively manage our inventories, our ability to respond to the impacts and disruptions caused by the pandemic, and our ability to respond to economic, political, and legislative developments. Furthermore, we may require additional cash resources due to changes in business conditions, strategic initiatives, or stock repurchase strategy, a national or global economic recession, or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue, although we do not have any present commitments with respect to any such investments or acquisitions.

If our existing sources of liquidity are insufficient to satisfy our working capital requirements, we may seek to borrow under our revolving credit facilities, seek new or modified borrowing arrangements, or sell additional debt or equity securities. The sale of convertible debt or equity securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders, and equity securities may have rights or preferences that are superior to those of our existing stockholders. The incurrence of additional indebtedness would result in additional debt service obligations, as well as covenants that would restrict our operations and further encumber our assets. In addition, there can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

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

The increase in net cash used in operating activities during the threesix months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, compared to the prior period, was primarily due to a net negative change in operating assets and liabilities of $104,726,$203,929, partially offset by positive net income after non-cash adjustments of $47,225.$47,216. The changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily due to net negative changes in inventories, net, trade accounts receivable, net, other assets, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and other accrued expenses, income taxes payable, and other assets, partially offset by net positive changes in trade accounts payable and income tax receivable.payable.

Investing Activities. The increase in net cash used in investing activities during the threesix months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, compared to the prior period, was primarily due to higher capital expenditures for our new US DC and information technology, partially offset by lower capital expenditures for information technology and retail stores.

Financing Activities. The increase in net cash used in financing activities during the threesix months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, compared to the prior period, was primarily due to higher stock repurchases.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management must make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements, based on historical experience, existing and known circumstances, authoritative accounting pronouncements, and other factors that management believes to be reasonable, but actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Management believes the following critical accounting estimates are most significantly affected by judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements: allowances for doubtful accounts, sales discounts, and chargebacks; estimated sales return liability; inventory valuations and related reserves; valuation of operating lease assets and lease liabilities; valuation of goodwill, other intangible assets, and long-lived assets; and performance-based compensation. The full impact of the ongoing pandemic is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated for these key estimates. However, we made appropriate accounting estimates based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. To the extent there are differences between these estimates and actual results, our condensed consolidated financial statements may be materially affected. Refer to the section "Use of Estimates" within Note 1, “General,” of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 within this Quarterly Report, for a summary of applicable key estimates and assumptions.

There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our 2021 Annual Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Commodity Price Risk

For the manufacturing of our products, we purchase certain raw materials that are affected by commodity prices, which include sheepskin, leather, and wool. The supply of sheepskin, which is used to manufacture a significant portion of the UGG brand products, is in high demand and there are a limited number of suppliers that can meet our expectations for the quantity and quality of sheepskin that we require. Most of our sheepskin is purchased from two tanneries in China, which is sourced primarily from Australia and the UK. While we have experienced fairly stable pricing in recent years, historically there have been significant fluctuations in the price of sheepskin as the demand for this commodity from our consumers and our competitors has changed. We believe significant factors affecting the price of sheepskin include 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, use of substitute products or components, and global economic conditions. Any factors that increase the demand for, or decrease the supply of, sheepskin could cause significant increases in the price of sheepskin.

We typically fix prices for all of our raw materials with firm pricing agreements on a seasonal basis. For sheepskin and leather, we use purchasing contracts 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 typically result in purchase obligations which are not recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. With respect to sheepskin and leather, in the event of significant price increases for these commodities, we will likely not be able to adjust our selling prices sufficiently to eliminate the impact of such increases on our profitability.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate 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. Although most of our sales and inventory purchases are denominated in US 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. We are exposed to financial statement transaction gains and losses as a result of remeasuring our monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the subsidiaries’ functional currencies. We translate all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies into US dollars using the exchange rate as of the end of the reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from translating assets and liabilities from our subsidiaries' functional currencies to US dollars are recorded in other comprehensive income. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect our reported profits and can make comparisons from year to year more difficult. 

We hedge certain foreign currency exchange rate risk from existing assets and liabilities, as well as forecasted sales. As our international operations grow and we increase purchases and sales in foreign currencies, we will continue to evaluate our hedging strategy 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. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, 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 $11,800.$10,100. Refer to Note 8, “Derivative Instruments,” of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 within this Quarterly Report, for further information on our use of derivative contracts. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, there wereare no known factors that we would expect to result in a material change in the general nature of our foreign currency exchange rate risk exposure.

Interest Rate Risk

Our market risk exposure with respect to our revolving credit facilities is tied to changes in applicable interest rates, including ABR, the federal funds effective rate, currency-specific LIBOR and CDOR for our Primary Credit Facility, the PBOC market rate for our China Credit Facility, and TIBOR for our Japan Credit Facility. A hypothetical 1.0% increase in interest rates for borrowings made under our revolving credit facilities would have resulted in an immaterial aggregate change to interest expense recorded in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income during the threesix months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, due to no outstanding balances under our revolving credit facilities. Refer to Note 5, “Revolving Credit Facilities,” of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 within this Quarterly Report, for further information on our revolving credit facilities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under 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 is 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.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021. Based on that evaluation, our PEO and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer (PFAO) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures wereare effective at a reasonable assurance level as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021.

b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Although we have modified our workplace practices globally due to the pandemic, resulting in most of our employees working remotely, this has not materially affected our internal control over financial reporting. We are continually monitoring and assessing the impacts and disruptions caused by the pandemic to ensure there are no material effects on the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and to minimize such impacts on their design and operating effectiveness.reporting.

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

The certifications of our PEO and PFAO 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, within this Quarterly Report. This Part I, Item 4 should be read in conjunction with such certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

As part of our global 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. We generally have multiple actions such as these pending at any given point in 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 in 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 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.

Although we are subject to 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 the outcome of all pending legal proceedings and other disputes in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity. 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.

Refer to Note 6, “Commitments and Contingencies,” of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 within this Quarterly Report, for further information on our legal proceedings.
