NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Unless otherwise noted in this report, any description of the “Company,” “Crocs,” “we,” “us,” or “our” includes Crocs, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries within our reportable operating segments and corporate operations. We are engaged in the design, development, worldwide marketing, distribution, and sale of casual lifestyle footwear and accessories for women, men, ~~women,~~ and children. We strive to be the global leader in the sale of molded footwear characterized by functionality, comfort, color, and lightweight design.

Our reportable operating segments include: the Americas, operating in North and South America; Asia Pacific, operating throughout Asia, Australia, and New Zealand; and Europe, Middle East, and Africa (“EMEA”), operating throughout Europe, Russia, the Middle East, and Africa. See Note 14 — Operating Segments and Geographic Information for additional information.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Such unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020 (“Annual Report”), and have been prepared on a consistent basis with the accounting policies described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report. Our accounting policies did not change during the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, other than with respect to the new accounting pronouncements adopted as described in Note 2 — Recent Accounting ~~Pronouncements and the COVID-19-related lease accounting policy election as described in Note 4 — Leases.~~Pronouncements.

Reclassifications

We have reclassified certain amounts on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, Note 9 — Revenues, and Note 14 — Operating Segments and Geographic Information to conform to current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

U.S. GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions used to determine certain amounts that affect the financial statements are reasonable, based on information available at the time they are made. Management believes that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions made when accounting for items and matters such as, but not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, customer rebates, sales returns, impairment assessments and charges, recoverability of long-lived assets, deferred tax assets, valuation allowances, uncertain tax positions, income tax expense, share-based compensation expense, the assessment of lower of cost or net realizable value on inventory, useful lives assigned to long-lived assets, and depreciation and amortization, are reasonable based on information available at the time they are made.

Additionally, the full impact of COVID-19 is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated as of the reporting date. However, we have 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.

of a variety of other factors, including the timing of new model introductions, general economic conditions, and consumer confidence. Accordingly, results of operations and cash flows for any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of expected results for any other quarter or for any other year.

~~Transactions with Affiliates~~

In 2019, we received services from 3 affiliates of Blackstone Capital Partners VI L.P. (“Blackstone”). Blackstone and certain of its permitted transferees beneficially owned 6,899,027 shares of our common stock until Blackstone sold 6,864,545 shares of common stock held directly by Blackstone and its affiliates in an underwritten public offering on November 4, 2019. The other 34,482 shares of common stock were held by Gregg S. Ribatt, our former Chief Executive Officer and former member of our Board of Directors, which Blackstone may have been deemed to beneficially own, and were sold by Mr. Ribatt in October 2019. We incurred expenses to Blackstone’s legal counsel of $0.3 million in relation to this offering.

Certain Blackstone affiliates provide various services to us, including inventory count services, cybersecurity and consulting, and workforce management services. We incurred expenses for services from these affiliates of $0.3 million and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Expenses related to these services are reported in ‘Selling, general and administrative expenses’ in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

New Accounting Pronouncement ~~Adopted~~

~~Measurement of Credit Losses~~

In June 2016, and through subsequent amendments, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance that requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets. This new model replaces the existing “current incurred loss” model with a forward-looking “current expected credit loss” model. On January 1, 2020, we adopted this guidance on a modified retrospective basis. Based on the nature of our financial instruments included within the scope of this standard, which are primarily trade and other receivables, the adoption did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

~~Implementation Costs Incurred in Cloud Computing Arrangements~~

In August 2018, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to the treatment of implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is considered a service contract. On January 1, 2020, we adopted this guidance on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

~~New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet~~ Adopted

Simplifying Accounting for Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued new guidance to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles and also simplification of areas such as franchise taxes, ~~step-up in~~intra-period income tax ~~basis goodwill, separate entity financial statements~~expense allocation exceptions, and interim recognition of enactment of tax laws or rate changes. On January 1, 2021, we adopted this guidance. The ~~standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim reporting periods within those periods. We do~~adoption did not ~~expect this standard to~~ have a material ~~impact~~effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued optional guidance related to reference rate reform, which provides practical expedients for contract modifications and certain hedging relationships associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. This guidance is applicable for our revolving borrowing instruments, which use LIBOR as a reference rate, and is available for adoption effective immediately, but is only available through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Other Pronouncements

Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 are not expected to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

4. LEASES

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we received lease concessions from landlords in the form of rent deferrals and rent abatements in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. We chose to implement the policy election provided by the FASB in April 2020 to record rent concessions as if no modifications to leases contracts were made, and thus no changes to the lease obligations were recorded in respect to these concessions. As of September 30, 2020, we had outstanding deferred rent of $2.6 million, the majority of which is scheduled to be paid by December 31, 2020. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we received rent abatements of $0.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

All of our derivative instruments are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets within ‘Accrued expenses and other liabilities’ ~~and ‘Prepaid expenses and other assets’~~ at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019, respectively.~~2020. The fair values of our derivative instruments were an immaterial liability ~~and asset~~ at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019, respectively.~~2020. See Note 6 — Derivative Financial Instruments for more information.

~~Table of Contents~~

The carrying amounts of our cash, cash equivalents, and current restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and current accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their fair value as recorded due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Our borrowing instruments are recorded at their carrying values in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, which may differ from their respective fair values. In the six months ended June 30, 2021, we completed the issuance and sale of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.250% Senior Notes (the “Notes”), as defined and described in more detail in Note 7 — Long-Term Borrowings. The Notes are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and are reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at face value, less unamortized issuance costs. The carrying and fair values of our ~~outstanding borrowings~~revolving credit facilities approximate their carrying values at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020 based on interest rates currently available to us for similar ~~borrowings,~~borrowings. The carrying value and fair value of our borrowing instruments as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were:

Table of Contents

Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities

Our non-financial assets, which primarily consist of property and equipment, right-of-use assets, goodwill, and other intangible assets, are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at carrying value. The fair values of these assets are determined based on Level 3 measurements, including estimates of the amount and timing of future cash flows based upon historical experience, expected market conditions, and management’s plans. Impairment expense is reported in ‘Selling, general and administrative expenses’ in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We did 0t record impairment expense in the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020 or 2019.~~

~~During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we~~2021. Additionally, 0 impairment expense was recorded inventory donations of $0.1 million and $10.0 million, respectively, at fair value within ‘Selling, general and administrative expenses’ in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We did not record material inventory donations in the three or ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019.~~2020.

6. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We transact business in various foreign countries and are therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk that impacts the reported U.S. Dollar amounts of revenues, expenses, and certain foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities. In order to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency and to reduce the volatility in earnings caused by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, we may enter into forward contracts to buy and sell foreign currency. By policy, we do not enter into these contracts for trading purposes or speculation.

Counterparty default risk is considered low because the forward contracts that we enter into are over-the-counter instruments transacted with highly-rated financial institutions. We were not required to and did not post collateral as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 or December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

Our derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as a derivative asset or liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We report derivative instruments with the same counterparty on a net basis when a master netting arrangement is in place. Changes in fair value are recognized within ‘Foreign currency ~~gains (losses),~~losses, net’ in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, we classify cash flows from derivative instruments at settlement in the same category as the cash flows from the related hedged items within ‘Cash provided by operating activities.’

Senior Revolving Credit Facility

In July 2019, the Company and certain of ~~its~~our subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), with the lenders named therein and PNC Bank, National Association, as a lender and administrative agent for the lenders, which provided for a revolving credit facility of $500.0 million, which can be increased by an additional $100.0 million subject to certain conditions (the “Facility”). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate based on (A) a domestic base rate (defined as the highest of (i) the Federal Funds open rate, plus 0.25%, (ii) the Prime Rate, and (iii) the Daily LIBOR rate, plus 1.00%), plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.875% based on our leverage ratio, or (B) a LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.875% based on our leverage ratio. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by all of the assets of the Borrowers and guaranteed by certain other subsidiaries of the Borrowers.

Table of Contents

The Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of 4.00 to 1.00, and a maximum leverage ratio of (i) ~~4.00 to 1.00 until September 30, 2020, (ii)~~ 3.50 to 1.00 from the quarter ended December 31, 2020 to the quarter ended December 31, 2021, and ~~(iii)~~(ii) 3.25 to 1.00 from the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and thereafter (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances). The Credit Agreement permits (i) stock repurchases subject to certain restrictions, including after giving effect to such stock repurchases, the maximum leverage ratio does not exceed certain levels; and (ii) certain acquisitions so long as there is borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement of at least $40.0 million. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the total commitments available from the lenders under the Facility were $500.0 million. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had ~~$135.0~~$45.0 million in outstanding borrowings ~~which are due when the Facility matures in July 2024,~~ and ~~$0.6~~$0.3 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Facility, which reduces amounts available for borrowing under the Facility. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we had ~~$364.4~~$454.7 million and ~~$240.4~~$319.4 million, respectively, of available borrowing capacity under the Facility.

Asia Revolving Credit Facilities

~~The~~During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had 2 revolving credit facilities in Asia, the revolving credit facility with Citibank (China) Company Limited, Shanghai Branch, which provided up to an equivalent of $5.0 million, and the revolving credit facility with China Merchants Bank Company Limited, Shanghai Branch, ~~(the “CMBC Facility”) provides~~which matured in May 2021 and provided up to 30.0 million RMB, or ~~$4.4~~$4.7 million atusing current exchange rates ~~and matures in~~as of May 2021. ~~For RMB loans under the CMBC Facility, interest is determined at the time of borrowing based on variable rates in effect at that time.~~

The revolving credit facility with Citibank (China) Company Limited, Shanghai Branch (the “Citibank Facility”) provides up to an equivalent of $5.0 million and matures in June 2021. For RMB loans under the Citibank Facility, interest is based on a National Interbank Funding Center 1-year prime rate, plus 65 basis points. For USD loans under the Citibank Facility, interest is based on a LIBOR rate, plus 1.5%.

We had 0 borrowings under our Asia revolving facilities during the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020 or borrowings outstanding at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

~~In July 2020, we cancelled a previously suspended revolving credit facility in Asia.~~Senior Notes Issuance

On March 12, 2021, the Company completed the issuance and sale of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.250% Senior Notes due March 15, 2029 (the “Notes”), pursuant to the indenture related thereto (“the Indenture”). Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually.

The Notes rank pari passu in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior debt, including the Credit Agreement, and are senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s future debt that is, by its term, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes. The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries that is a borrower or guarantor under the Credit Agreement and by each of the Company’s wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries that guarantees any debt of the Company or any guarantor under any syndicated credit facility or capital markets debt in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $25.0 million.

The Company will have the option to redeem all or any portion of the Notes, at once or over time, at any time on or after March 15, 2024, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus a premium declining ratably on an annual basis to par and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The Company will also have the option to redeem some or all of the Notes at any time before March 15, 2024 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption. In addition, at any time before March 15, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price of 104.250% of the principal amount of the Notes with the proceeds from certain equity issuances, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt or issue certain preferred stock; pay dividends or repurchase or redeem capital stock or make other restricted payments; declare or pay dividends or other payments; incur liens; enter into certain types of transactions with the Company’s affiliates; and consolidate or merge with or into other companies. As of June 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Notes.

8. COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

During the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2021, we repurchased 2.9 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $300.0 million, including commissions, under a $300.0 million April 2021 accelerated share repurchase arrangement (“ASR”). Under the ASR, a financial institution delivers shares of our common stock during the purchase period in exchange for an up-front payment. The total number of shares ultimately delivered under the ASR, and therefore the average repurchase price paid per share, is determined based on the volume-weighted average price of our common stock during the purchase period. The purchase period for this ASR ended in June 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we repurchased 4.0 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $350.0 million, including commissions. This includes 0.5 million shares received in January 2021 at the conclusion of the purchase period for an accelerated share repurchase agreement we entered into in November 2020.

On January 11, 2021, our Board awarded 0.4 million market-condition restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to certain senior executives. For the executives to earn the target number of shares, the 30 trading day average of the daily volume weighted average trading price of the common stock must meet or exceed certain performance hurdles. Any earned shares will also be subject to time vesting. When a performance hurdle is met or exceeded, one third of the earned portion of the RSUs will vest immediately, and the remaining two thirds will be subject to the executive’s continued employment, with one third vesting one year later and the remaining one third vesting two years later, but in no case later than the fourth anniversary of the award, in each case, subject to certain change in control provisions.

Table of Contents

The grant date fair value and derived service period for the market-condition RSUs granted on January 11, 2021 (“January market-condition RSUs”) were estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. The grant date fair value for the January market-condition RSUs was $21.9 million. As of June 30, 2021, unrecognized share-based compensation for the January market-condition RSUs, which are expected to be recognized through March 2024 based on the Monte Carlo valuation model, was $14.2 million.

Our effective income tax rate, for each period presented, also differs from the federal U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the release of valuation allowances, as well as differences in income tax rates between U.S. and foreign ~~jurisdictions, as well as utilization~~jurisdictions.

Our valuation allowances are primarily the result of uncertainties regarding the future realization of tax attributes recorded in various jurisdictions. The measurement of deferred tax assets ~~which were subject to~~is reduced by a valuation ~~allowance.~~allowance if, based upon available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We have evaluated the realizability of our deferred tax assets in each jurisdiction by assessing the adequacy of expected taxable income, including the reversal of existing temporary differences, historical and projected operating results and the availability of prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. In assessing our valuation allowance, we considered all available evidence, including the magnitude of recent and current operating results, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our historical experience utilizing tax attributes prior to their expiration dates, the historical volatility of operating results of these jurisdictions and our assessment regarding the sustainability of their profitability. The weight we give to any particular item is, in part, dependent upon the degree to which it can be objectively verified. A jurisdiction for which we have historically recorded significant valuation allowances has enacted a favorable change in the tax law related to net operating loss carryforwards during the period. The change in tax law impacts the assessment of valuation allowances in the jurisdiction as the reversal of existing deferred tax assets would generate indefinite carryforward net operating losses instead of losses with a limited carryforward period. The release of the valuation allowance resulting from the tax law change is recorded as a discrete tax benefit of $176.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. We will continue to assess the realizability of our deferred tax assets.

~~Table of Contents~~

Our tax rate is volatile and may increase or decrease with changes in, among other things, the amount of income or loss by jurisdiction, our ability to utilize net operating losses and foreign tax credits, changes in tax laws, and the movement of liabilities established pursuant to accounting guidance for uncertain tax positions as statutes of limitations expire, positions are effectively settled, or when additional information becomes available. There are proposed or pending tax law changes in various jurisdictions and other changes to regulatory environments in countries in which we do business that, if enacted, may have an impact on our effective tax rate.

We evaluate our ability to realize the tax benefits associated with deferred tax assets by analyzing our forecasted taxable income by considering both historical and projected future operating results, the reversal of existing temporary differences, taxable income in prior carry back years (if permitted) and the availability of tax planning strategies. As of September 30, 2020, valuation allowances remain in certain jurisdictions where we believe it is necessary to see further positive evidence, such as sustained achievement of cumulative profits, before these valuation allowances can be released. Given the current earnings trend, sufficient positive evidence may become available for us to release all or a portion of the valuation allowance within twelve months. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance releases are subject to change based on the level of profitability achieved in future periods. We will continue to assess the realizability of our deferred tax assets.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase Commitments

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had purchase commitments to third-party manufacturers, primarily for materials and supplies used in the manufacture of our products, for an aggregate of ~~$157.9~~$177.5 million. We expect to fulfill our commitments under these agreements in the normal course of business, and as such, no liability has been recorded.

Other

We are regularly subject to, and are currently undergoing, audits by various tax authorities in the United States and several foreign jurisdictions, including customs duties, import, and other taxes for prior tax years.

During our normal course of business, we may make certain indemnities, commitments, and guarantees under which we may be required to make payments. We cannot determine a range of estimated future payments and have not recorded any liability for indemnities, commitments, and guarantees in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

14. OPERATING SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

We have 3 reportable operating segments based on the geographic nature of our operations: Americas, Asia Pacific, and EMEA. ~~In addition, the ‘Other businesses’ category aggregates insignificant operating segments that do not meet the reportable segment threshold, including corporate and supply chain operations.~~

Each of the reportable operating segments derives its revenues from the sale of footwear and accessories to external customers. ~~Revenues for ‘Other businesses’ include non-footwear and accessories product sales to external customers that are excluded from the measurement of segment operating revenues and income.~~

Segment performance is evaluated based on segment results without allocating corporate expenses, or indirect general, administrative, and other expenses. Segment profits or losses include adjustments to eliminate inter-segment sales. Reconciling items between segment income from operations and income from operations consist of ~~other businesses and~~ unallocated corporate and other expenses, as well as inter-segment eliminations.

Table of Contents

In the first quarter of 2021, certain costs previously reported within ‘Other Businesses’ were shifted to the Americas, Asia Pacific, and EMEA segments, as applicable, to reflect changes in the way management evaluates segment performance, makes operating decisions, and allocates resources. Additionally, any costs remaining in ‘Other Businesses,’ including depreciation and amortization, had been consolidated into ‘Unallocated corporate and other.’ The previously reported amounts for income from operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 have been revised to conform to current period presentation, as shown in the following tables.

In the second quarter of 2021, to reflect changes in the way management evaluates segment performance, makes operating decisions, and allocates resources, and as a response to our incremental investments in marketing in line with our growth, certain marketing expenses previously reported within ‘Unallocated corporate and other’ were shifted to the Americas, Asia Pacific, and EMEA segments, as applicable, to better align these investments with segment profitability. The previously reported amounts for income from operations included in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 have been revised to conform to current period presentation, as shown in the following tables.

We do not report asset information by segment because that information is not used to evaluate performance or allocate resources between segments. ~~The following tables set forth information related to reportable operating segments:~~

15. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We were subject to an audit by the Brazilian Federal Tax Authorities related to imports of footwear from China between 2010 and 2014. On January 13, 2015, we were notified about the issuance of assessments totaling 14.4 million Brazilian Real (“BRL”), or approximately ~~$2.6~~$2.9 million at current exchange rates, plus interest and penalties, for the period January 2010 through May 2011. We disputed these assessments and asserted defenses to the claims. On February 25, 2015, we received additional assessments totaling 33.3 million BRL, or approximately ~~$5.9~~$6.7 million at current exchange rates, plus interest and penalties, related to the remainder of the audit period. We also disputed these assessments and asserted defenses to these claims in administrative appeals. On August 29, 2017, we received a favorable ruling on our appeal of the first assessment, which dismissed all fines, penalties, and interest. The tax authorities have appealed that decision and we challenged the appeal on both the merits and procedure. Additionally, the second appeal for the remaining assessments was heard on March 22, 2018. That decision was partially favorable for us and resulted in an approximately 38% reduction in principal, penalties, and ~~interest, leaving approximately $3.7 million at current exchange rates, plus interest and penalties, at risk for those assessments.~~interest. The tax authorities have appealed that decision, and we filed a response to the tax authorities’ appeal as well as a separate appeal against the unfavorable portion of the ruling. Taking current rulings into consideration, we estimate the remaining principal for these assessments to be $5.0 million at current exchange rates, plus interest and penalties. Should the Brazilian Tax Authority prevail in ~~this~~these final administrative ~~appeal,~~appeals, we may challenge the assessments through the court system, which would likely require the posting of a bond. We have not recorded these items within the condensed consolidated financial statements as it is not possible at this time to predict the timing or outcome of this matter or to estimate a potential amount of loss, if any.

For all other claims and disputes, we have accrued estimated losses of $0.9 million within ‘Accrued expenses and other liabilities’ in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021. As we are able, we estimate reasonably possible losses or a range of reasonably possible losses. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we estimated that reasonably possible losses associated with these claims and other disputes could potentially exceed amounts accrued by ~~up to $1.4 million.~~an immaterial amount.

Although we are subject to other litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business, including employment, intellectual property and product liability claims, other than as set forth above, we are not party to any other pending legal proceedings that we believe would reasonably have a material adverse impact on our business, financial results, and cash flows.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Business Overview

Crocs, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries (collectively the “Company,” “Crocs,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) are engaged in the design, development, worldwide marketing, distribution, and sale of casual lifestyle footwear and accessories for women, men, ~~women,~~ and children. We strive to be the world leader in innovative casual footwear for women, men, and children, combining comfort and style with a value that consumers want. The vast majority of shoes within our collection contain Croslite™ material, a proprietary, molded footwear technology, delivering extraordinary comfort with each step.

Known or Anticipated Trends

Based on our recent operating results and current perspectives on our operating environment, we anticipate certain trends will continue to impact our operating results:

•~~The COVID-19 pandemic has~~We have committed to several Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) initiatives, including a plan to achieve net zero emissions by 2030 through sustainable ingredients and packaging as well as responsible resource use and exploring innovative product afterlife solutions. We continue to expand efforts to help serve our communities and create a welcoming environment for everyone, rooted in a culture of transparency and accountability. As such, we launched a new Brand Purpose section on our Crocs.com site and a new ESG section on our investor site to share our progress.

•Global industry-wide logistics challenges have continued to impact us, including the blockage of the Suez Canal, which primarily impacted our ~~business globally~~EMEA segment in ~~2020. Despite~~the second quarter of 2021, and significant bottlenecks in West Coast ports, which have impacted 2021 operations, and we expect this ~~the vast majority of~~to continue to impact future quarters this year.

•In ~~Asia,~~2021, we have invested, and plan to continue to invest, in selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”), including marketing, talent, and digital commerce, to fuel long-term growth, while continuing to leverage revenue growth.

•Capital expenditures for supply chain investments to support our ~~South Korea~~growth are expected to be between $80 million and ~~China markets performed well, but our~~$100 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

•We continued to experience store closures in Western Europe and Southeast Asia ~~distributors continued to struggle~~throughout much of the second quarter as a result of ~~reduced travel in these highly tourism-dependent markets.~~

•~~While~~the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, our year-over-year results discussed below were, and we ~~began~~expect for the remainder of 2021 will be, impacted to ~~reinvest in the business in the third quarter, we have still realized overall savings to date related to our 2020 COVID-19 cost reduction initiatives.~~

•~~To ensure the well-being of our employees~~some extent by prior year store closures and customers, our corporate offices, retail stores, and distribution centers have implemented various elevated safety protocols, in accordance with local guidelines and regulations, including temperature checks, mandatory mask policies, social distancing, access to hand sanitizer, plexiglass partitions, and enhanced cleaningoperating hour reductions as a result of the ~~facilities. Our corporate offices have also actively managed attendance levels~~COVID-19 impact in ~~accordance with local guidelines and regulations, and many of our corporate employees have continued to successfully conduct business virtually.~~

•We expect to be cash flow positive for all of 2020, barring any material, unforeseen changes in the pandemic or economic environment. As of September 30, 2020, we have largely returned to standard payment terms with our customers and vendors after more strictly managing accounts payable in the first part of the year. At September 30, 2020, there were $135.0 million of borrowings outstanding on our credit facility after repayments of $140.0 million during the third quarter. Our borrowings may continue to fluctuate as we manage our liquidity needs. Finally, our share repurchases have remained temporarily suspended to preserve maximum liquidity and flexibility, but we may opportunistically resume share repurchases in the future.2020.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), we present certain information related to our results of operations through “constant currency,” which is a non-GAAP financial measure and should be viewed as a supplement to our results of operations and presentation of reportable segments under U.S. GAAP. Constant currency represents current period results that have been retranslated using prior year average foreign exchange rates for the comparative period to enhance the visibility of the underlying business trends excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on reported amounts.

Management uses constant currency to assist in comparing business trends from period to period on a consistent basis in communications with the Board, ~~of Directors,~~ stockholders, analysts, and investors concerning our financial performance. We believe constant currency is useful to investors and other users of our condensed consolidated financial statements as an additional tool to evaluate operating performance and trends. Investors should not consider constant currency in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

~~Third~~Second Quarter ~~2020~~2021 Financial and Operational Highlights

Revenues were ~~$361.7~~$640.8 million for the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, a ~~15.7%~~93.3% increase compared to the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2019.~~2020. The increase was due to the net effects of: (i) higher unit sales volumes, which increased revenues by ~~$11.1~~$234.5 million, or ~~3.6%~~70.7%, driven by ~~rapid e-commerce and e-tail growth, combined with positive wholesale brick-and-mortar performance,~~increased consumer demand for our products, a portion of which was due to improved sales in our DTC businesses as ~~multi-brand wholesale stores reopened during~~ the ~~COVID-19 pandemic;~~pandemic continued to subside; (ii) higher average selling prices, driven primarily by reduced promotions and higher pricing, ~~and~~as well as favorable product mix, including increased sales of charms per shoe, which increased revenues by ~~$38.5~~$58.5 million, or ~~12.3%~~17.7%; and (iii) ~~unfavorable~~favorable changes in exchange rates, which ~~decreased~~increased revenues by ~~$0.6~~$16.3 million, or ~~0.2%~~4.9%.

Revenues. In the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, revenues increased compared to the same period in ~~2019. Despite~~2020. This was mostly driven by sales volume increases in all regions, most significantly in our Americas segment. The volume increase was due to increased consumer demand, attributable in part to the ~~continued presence~~negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic ~~brick-and-mortar stores in our~~on prior year wholesale ~~channel reopened~~ and remained open for most of the quarter and e-commerce revenues continued to grow. Volume was up, particularly in our Americas and EMEA wholesale revenues, as a result of higher consumer demand in our e-tail and brick-and-mortar accounts as markets reopened. This was offset in part by lower volumes in our Asia Pacific revenues,retail store revenues. Higher ASP, due to ~~ongoing negative impacts from COVID-19, including pervasive closures~~less promotional activity and ~~the lack of tourism in the region.

~~Revenues~~Asia Pacific segments, also ~~increased in~~contributed to higher revenues. Foreign exchange favorability to revenue was driven by the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily as a result of increases in ASP in all segments, due to fewer promotions and discounts, price increases, and increased sales of charms per shoe. These increases were partially offset by lower volume in the first half of the year, attributable to COVID-19 store closures, and negative currency changes, primarily in the Russian Ruble, Brazilian Real,Euro, Korean Won, and Chinese Yuan.

Cost of sales. In the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, compared to the same period in ~~2019,~~2020, cost of sales increased due to higher volume of ~~$9.0~~$102.2 million, or ~~6.0%~~67.4%, primarily in our Americas segment, and ~~EMEA segments,~~foreign currency fluctuations, which increased cost of sales by $7.2 million, or 4.7%, offset in part by lower average cost per unit on a constant currency basis (“AUC”), asdriven by channel mix, efficiencies in our distribution and logistics network, and the non-recurrence of a ~~result of product mix,~~prior year COVID-19 inventory write-off, which decreased cost of sales by ~~$2.7~~$15.4 million, or ~~1.8%, and foreign currency fluctuations, which decreased cost of sales by $0.3 million, or 0.2%~~10.1%.

Gross profit. Gross margin increased in the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 to ~~57.2%~~61.7%, compared to ~~52.4%~~54.3% in the same period in ~~2019,~~2020, driven by increased pricing and fewer promotions and discounts, favorable channel mix, and favorable product mix. Gross profit increased $215.2 million, or 119.6%, as a result of higher volume of $132.3 million, or 73.6%, the combined impact of lower AUC and higher ASP, of $73.8 million, or 41.0%, and favorable foreign currency changes of $9.1 million, or 5.0%.

Gross margin in the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 58.9% compared to 51.3% in 2020, due to favorable channel and product mix, ~~price increases,~~increased pricing, and fewer promotions and discounts. Gross profit increased ~~$42.9~~$334.3 million, or ~~26.2%. This was primarily~~106.4%, as a result of higher ~~ASP, supplemented by moderately~~volumes of $215.6 million, or 68.6%, the combined impact of lower AUC and higher ASP of ~~$41.2~~$105.2 million, or ~~25.1%~~33.5%, and ~~higher volume of $2.0 million, or 1.3%. Negative~~positive foreign currency changes of ~~$0.3~~$13.5 million, or ~~0.2% had a minimal impact on gross profit.~~

Gross margin in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was 53.5% compared to 50.7% in 2019, due to product mix, price increases, and fewer promotions and discounts. Gross profit increased $30.0 million, or 6.1%, as a result of net higher ASP and AUC of $77.6 million, or 15.8%, partially offset by lower volume of $41.6 million, or 8.5%, and negative currency changes of $6.0 million, or 1.2%4.3%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. SG&A as a percent of revenue improved to 31.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 37.2% in the same period in 2020 as a result of strong sales growth and our continued efforts to leverage operating costs. SG&A expenses increased ~~$10.7~~$76.5 million, or ~~8.7%~~62.0%, in the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 compared to the same period in ~~2019.~~2020. This was ~~driven~~ primarily ~~by an~~due to a $39.9 million increase in compensation expense, which was driven by a combination of ~~$11.2 million, primarily~~investments in ~~variable compensation, as a result~~employee headcount to support the growth of the ~~timing~~business, the impact of positive business performance compared to 2019. Additionally, marketing costs increased by $2.2 million, primarily as a result of variable costs associated with increased revenue and a higher share of e-commerce sales. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in professional services costs of $2.3 million, primarily due to cost saving measures related to COVID-19, and lower other net costs of $0.4 million.

~~SG&A increased $0.8 million, or 0.2%, during~~ the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. Increases due to inventory donations of $10.0 million, bad debt expense of $3.6 million, and information technology, marketing, and other net costs of $3.5 million were partially offset by various reductions, mostly as a result of cost saving measures taken in response to COVID-19. These reductions included net lower compensation expense of $8.5 million, primarily due to theprior year temporary and permanent elimination of certain roles ~~decreased travel~~in response to COVID-19, and ~~related~~higher variable and executive compensation. Marketing expense increased by $26.4 million, in part as an investment to fuel future growth and in part as a result of prior year COVID-19 savings. Facilities expense was higher by $8.4 million as a result of variable rent associated with an increase in retail sales, particularly in the Americas. Services costs, ~~of $5.2~~including consulting and legal fees, as well as variable costs associated with higher sales, were higher by $7.9 million and ~~decreased~~information technology and other net costs were higher by $5.8 million. These increases were offset in part by $7.6 million lower donations of inventory as a result of prior year COVID-19 donations to frontline healthcare workers and other organizations that did not recur at the same magnitude in the current year and decreases in bad debt expense of $4.4 million from the prior year COVID-19 related impact on our distributors that did not recur in the current year, as well as collections on previously reserved bad debt expense.

SG&A increased $91.7 million, or 38.7%, during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020. This was driven in large part by higher compensation expense of $52.1 million as a result of increased employee headcount and higher variable and executive compensation and by additional investments in marketing of $28.1 million, both of which support the growth of the business. Services costs, including consulting and legal fees, as well as variable costs associated with higher sales, were up $11.4 million, facilities expense was up $10.6 million as a result of variable rent associated with higher sales, and information technology and other net costs were up by $7.9 million. These increases were offset in part by $9.3 million lower donations of ~~$2.6~~inventory as a result of prior year COVID-19 donations to frontline healthcare workers and other organizations that did not recur at the same magnitude in the current year and decreases in bad debt expense of $9.1 million primarily due to ~~savings~~the prior year COVID-19 related impact on our distributors that did not recur in ~~our company-owned retail stores, primarily in variable rent costs.~~the current year, as well as collections on previously reserved bad debt expense.

Foreign currency ~~gains (losses),~~losses, net.

Income tax expense. During the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, income tax ~~expense~~benefit increased ~~$5.8~~$126.5 million compared to the same period in ~~2019.~~2020. The effective tax rate for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 was ~~11.7%~~(67.4)% compared to an effective tax rate of ~~6.4%~~(3.4)% for the same period in ~~2019,~~2020, a 5.3% increase. The increase in the effective rate was driven by tax expense recorded in profitable jurisdictions, partially offset by the utilization of deferred tax assets which were subject to a valuation allowance, and by operating losses in certain jurisdictions where we had determined that it is not more likely than not to realize the associated tax benefits. Our effective income tax rate, for each period presented, also differs from the federal U.S statutory rate primarily due to differences in income tax rates between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, as well as utilization of deferred tax assets which were subject to a valuation allowance.

Americas Operating Segment

Revenues. Americas revenues increased in the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, compared to the same period in 2019, particularly in our e-commerce channel, with an increase of 47.4%, and our wholesale channel, with an increase of 29.6%. The overall increase in revenue was primarily due to higher ASP in all three channels, particularly2020, most significantly as a result of higher volumes in both our wholesale and DTC channels, driven by increased consumer demand, partially due to the prior year impact of COVID-19 on our wholesale brick-and-mortar and partner stores and our retail stores. Higher ASP of 26.6% also contributed to higher sales, mostly from higher pricing and less ~~promotional activity,~~promotions in our DTC channel, as well as favorable product mix, ~~increased prices, and~~including increased sales of charms per ~~shoe, and increased volume, mostly in our wholesale channel, as a result of higher consumer demand from our e-tail and brick-and-mortar accounts as markets reopened.

The increase in Americas revenues in the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, compared to the same period in ~~2019,~~2020, was primarily due to higher volumes in both channels as a result of increased consumer demand, partially due to the prior year impact of COVID-19 on our brick-and-mortar stores.

We invested an additional $14.9 million in marketing compared to prior year to support our growth.

These increases were partially offset by

Asia Pacific Operating Segment

Revenues. Asia Pacific revenues ~~decreased~~increased in the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, compared to the same period in ~~2019. Volume was lower, as growth in digital sales was offset by declines in our brick-and-mortar wholesale accounts and in our retail channel,~~2020, primarily as a result of decreased customer traffic and a lack of tourism resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as right-sizing our retail fleet in certain markets. Higher ASP, due to channel mix, fewer promotions, and less discounting, also partially offset these declines.

EMEA Operating Segment

Revenues. Revenues increased in our EMEA segment in the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, compared to the same period in ~~2019,~~2020, driven mostly by increased volume in ~~part as~~our wholesale channel. This increase was a result of ~~a consumer shift to online shopping during~~higher demand for our products, as well as the prior year impact of the COVID-19 pandemic ~~driving higher volumes in our e-commerce channel of 32.4% and~~on our wholesale ~~channel of 10.2%, offset~~brick-and-mortar and distributor markets.

Gross profit increased ~~$3.2~~$21.0 million, or ~~11.9%~~59.3%, due mostly to higher volume of ~~$1.6~~$15.4 million, or ~~5.9%, net~~43.5%. ASP growth outpaced AUC growth, leading to higher ~~ASP and AUC~~gross profit of ~~$1.2~~$2.1 million, or ~~4.6%,~~6.0%. This was driven by favorable purchasing power from currency changes, favorable product mix, and increased pricing, offset in part by higher freight costs from global supply chain challenges including the blockage in the Suez Canal and in part by a channel mix shift towards wholesale. Foreign currency changes, primarily in the Euro, were favorable, ~~currency impact of $0.4~~impacting gross profit by $3.5 million, or ~~1.4%~~9.8%.

SG&A for our EMEA segment ~~was mostly flat in the~~increased $6.6 million, or 50.7%, during three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, compared to the same period in ~~2019.~~2020, primarily from increases in marketing investments to support growth of $4.6 million, compensation expense of $1.6 million, and facilities and other net costs of $1.4 million. These were offset in part by $1.0 million lower bad debt expense as a result of collections on previously reserved bad debt.

Income from operations for the EMEA segment was ~~$54.8~~$73.4 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020, a decrease~~2021, an increase of ~~$6.4~~$33.6 million, or ~~10.5%~~84.4%, compared to the same period in ~~2019.~~2020. Gross profit ~~decreased $7.4~~increased $41.4 million, or ~~7.3%~~62.9%, due to ~~lower~~higher sales volumes of ~~$4.7~~$28.8 million, or ~~4.7%, negative currency impacts~~43.8%. Higher ASP and lower AUC, led to a net impact on gross profit of ~~$1.9~~$6.5 million, or ~~1.8%, and net higher AUC and ASP, of $0.8 million, or 0.8%~~9.9%, as a result of ~~product mix,~~favorable purchasing power, price increases, and fewer promotions, offset in part by higher freight costs from global supply chain challenges. Positive currency changes led to increases of $6.1 million, or 9.2%.

SG&A for our EMEA segment increased $7.8 million, or 30.0%, during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020. Additional investments in marketing to support growth of $5.7 million, higher compensation expense of $2.1 million, and ~~less discounts.~~higher facilities and other net costs of $1.3 million were offset in part by $1.3 million lower bad debt expense.

Unallocated Corporate and Other

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, total net costs within ‘Unallocated Corporate and Other’ increased $34.7 compared to the same period in 2020, driven mostly by higher compensation costs of $26.0 million as a result of increased employee headcount, compounded by the prior year temporary and permanent elimination of certain roles in response to COVID-19, as well as higher variable and executive compensation in 2021. Higher services costs including consulting fees and legal fees resulted in $6.1 million of additional costs and information technology costs were higher by $2.5 million. There were also higher other net costs of $0.1 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, total net costs within ‘Unallocated Corporate and Other’ increased $43.6 million compared to the same period in 2020, primarily driven by an increase in compensation expense of $35.9 million due to increased employee headcount and higher variable and executive compensation, higher services costs including consulting and legal fees of $8.0 million, and higher information technology costs of $4.5 million. These increases were offset in part by lower other net costs of $4.8 million.

Table of Contents

SG&A for our EMEA segment decreased $1.0 million, or 2.5%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to a $1.3 million reduction in compensation expense and a $0.9 million reduction in net other costs, offset in part by increases in marketing costs of $1.2 million as a result of higher variable marketing associated with a higher share of e-commerce sales.

~~Other Businesses and Unallocated Corporate~~

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, total net costs within ‘Other Businesses’ and ‘Unallocated Corporate and Other’ increased $15.5 million compared to the same period in 2019. This was mostly due to an increase in compensation expense of $13.7 million, primarily in variable compensation driven by the timing of positive business performance compared to 2019, an increase in supply chain costs of $3.1 million driven in part by investments in our distribution network, and an increase in facilities and other net costs of $0.9 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in professional services fees of $2.2 million due to cost saving measures related to COVID-19.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, total net costs within ‘Other Businesses’ and ‘Unallocated Corporate and Other’ increased $0.3 million compared to the same period in 2019, primarily driven by an increase in compensation expense of $2.8 million due to the strong performance of the business, increased facilities expense of $2.3 million as a result of the opening of our new headquarters in Broomfield, Colorado, and higher supply chain costs of $2.0 million due in part to investment in our distribution network. These increases were mostly offset by a lower investment in marketing of $4.0 million and decreases in travel, professional services, and other net costs of $2.8 million.

Financial Condition, Capital Resources, and Liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents	$	~~123,562~~197,853

Available borrowings		~~364,400~~454,725

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had ~~$123.6~~$197.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and up to ~~$364.4~~$454.7 million of remaining borrowing availability under our Facility (as defined below)~~, which was amended in March 2020 to provide additional flexibility and borrowing commitments as we continue to operate in a business landscape impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.~~. We also entered into two revolving credit facility agreements in Asia during the year, which are discussed in more detail under “Asia Revolving Credit Facilities” below. Throughout the year, we have taken several defensive measures to maximize liquidity in response to COVID-19, including reducing expenses, primarily through the temporary and permanent elimination of certain corporate and regional roles, extending payment terms with vendors, managing inventory levels by constraining incoming supply and focusing on core product, deferring discretionary capital expenditures, and suspending our share repurchase and foreign currency exchange derivative programs. While we have begun to reinvest in the business and increase inventory to meet demand, we will continue to closely monitor our costs and adjust as needed in response to changes in the market. Additionally, as of September 30, 2020, we have largely returned to standard payment terms with our vendors and customers after more strictly managing accounts payable in the first part of the year and recognizing bad debt expense of $4.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, associated with global distributors as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through September 30, 2020, we also received rent concessions from landlords of $6.0 million, the majority of which were either paid back during the three months ended September 30, 2020 or are expected to be paid back by the end of 2020.

~~Based on these actions, we~~ believe that cash flows from operations, our cash and cash equivalents on hand, and available borrowings under our Facility will be sufficient to meet our ongoing liquidity needs and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. We will also continue to be opportunistic with respect to our capital structure and our capital returns. Additionally, in March 2021, we completed the issuance and sale of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes (as defined below). A portion of the net proceeds were used to repay the then-outstanding balance of $115.0 million under our Facility and the remainder was used for general corporate purposes and share repurchases. See “Senior Notes Issuance” below for more information. Further, in April 2021, the Board approved a $712.2 million increase to our share repurchase authorization, after which $1.0 billion remained available for future common stock repurchases. As of June 30, 2021, we had remaining authorization to repurchase approximately $700.0 million of our common stock, subject to restrictions under our Notes and Credit Agreement.

Although we believe we have adequate sources of liquidity over the long term, the success of our operations, the global economic outlook, and the pace of sustainable growth in our markets, ~~in each case, in light of the market volatility and uncertainty as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,~~ among other factors, could each impact our business and liquidity.

~~Seasonality~~

Due to the seasonal nature of our footwear, which is more heavily focused on styles suitable for warm weather, revenues generated during our fourth quarter, when the northern hemisphere is experiencing cooler weather, are typically less than revenues generated during our first three quarters. Accordingly, cash flows from operating activities during our first quarter are typically lower as we collect on the related fourth quarter customer receivables and as customer receivables and inventories rise in preparation for the Spring/Summer season. Cash flows from operating activities generated during our second and third quarters are generally higher, when the northern hemisphere is experiencing warmer weather. Accordingly, results of operations and cash flows for any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of expected results for any other quarter or for any other year.

Repatriation of Cash

As a global business, we have cash balances in various countries and amounts are denominated in various currencies. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates impact our results of operations and cash positions. Future fluctuations in foreign currencies may have a material impact on our cash flows and capital resources. Cash balances held in foreign countries may have additional restrictions and covenants associated with them which could adversely impact our liquidity and our ability to timely access and transfer cash balances between entities.

All of the cash held outside of the U.S. could be repatriated to the U.S. without incurring additional U.S. federal income taxes. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we held ~~$69.5~~$117.1 million of our total ~~$123.6~~$197.9 million in cash in international locations. This cash is

Senior Revolving Credit Facility

In July 2019, the Company and certain of our subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), with the lenders named therein and PNC Bank, National Association, as a lender and administrative agent for the lenders, which provided for a revolving credit facility of $500.0 million, which can be increased by an additional $100.0 million subject to certain conditions (the “Facility”). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate based on (A) a domestic base rate (defined as the highest of (i) the Federal Funds open rate, plus 0.25%, (ii) the Prime Rate, and (iii) the Daily LIBOR rate, plus 1.00%), plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% orto 0.875% based on our leverage ratio, or (B) a LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.875% based on our leverage ratio. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by all of the assets of the Borrowers and guaranteed by certain other subsidiaries of the Borrowers.

~~Asia Revolving Credit Facilities~~Senior Notes Issuance

The ~~revolving~~Notes rank pari passu in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior debt, including the Credit Agreement, and are senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s future debt that is, by its term, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes.

For RMB loans under the Citibank Facility, interest is based on a National Interbank Funding Center 1-year prime rate, plus 65 basis points. For USD loans under the Citibank Facility, interest is based on a LIBOR rate, plus 1.5%.

We had no borrowings under our Asia revolving facilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and year ended December 31, 2019 or borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

In addition, at any time before March 15, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price of 104.250% of the principal amount of the Notes with the proceeds from certain equity issuances, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an on-going basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020 and Note 2 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I - Item 1.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We centrally manage our debt and investment portfolios considering investment opportunities and risks, tax consequences, and overall financing strategies. Our exposure to market risk includes interest rate fluctuations in connection with our Facility and certain financial instruments.

Borrowings under our Facility bear interest at a variable rate and are therefore subject to risk based upon prevailing market interest rates. Interest rates fluctuate as a result of many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors that are beyond our control.

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had ~~$135.0~~long-term borrowings with a face value of $395.0 million, ~~in outstanding borrowings~~mainly comprised of the Notes, which carry a fixed rate, and ~~$0.6~~$0.3 million in outstanding letters of credit under our Facility. As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we had ~~$205.0~~$180.0 million in outstanding borrowings and ~~$4.6~~$0.6 million in outstanding letters of credit under our Facility.

A hypothetical increase of 1% in the interest rate on ~~these~~the Facility borrowings would have increased interest expense by ~~$0.3~~$0.2 million and ~~$1.9~~$0.5 million for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Changes in exchange rates have a direct effect on our reported U.S. Dollar condensed consolidated financial statements because we translate the operating results and financial position of our international subsidiaries to U.S. Dollars using current period exchange rates. Specifically, we translate the statements of operations of our foreign subsidiaries into the U.S. Dollar reporting currency using exchange rates in effect during each reporting period. As a result, comparisons of reported results between reporting periods may be impacted significantly due to differences in the exchange rates in effect at the time such exchange rates are used to translate the operating results of our international subsidiaries.

An increase of 1% of the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to foreign currencies ~~excluding the impact on our purchasing power,~~ would have decreased our ~~income before taxes~~revenues during the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 by ~~less than $0.1~~$2.5 million and ~~$0.5~~$4.5 million, respectively. The volatility of the exchange rates is dependent on many factors that cannot be forecasted with reliable accuracy.

We may enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to buy or sell various foreign currencies to selectively protect against volatility in the value of non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. Changes in the fair value of these forward contracts are recognized in earnings in the period that the changes occur. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the U.S. Dollar notional value of our outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts was approximately ~~$150.5~~$152.3 million. The net fair value of these contracts at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 was a liability of ~~less than $0.1~~$0.8 million.

We perform a sensitivity analysis to determine the effects that market risk exposures may have on the fair values of our foreign currency forward exchange contracts. To perform the sensitivity analysis, we assess the risk of changes in fair values from the effect of hypothetical changes in foreign currency exchange rates. This analysis assumes a like movement by the foreign currencies in our hedge portfolio against the U.S. Dollar. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, a 10% appreciation in the value of the U.S. Dollar would result in a net increase in the fair value of our derivative portfolio of approximately ~~$2.5~~$0.9 million.

See Part I - Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the impact of the change in foreign exchange rates on our U.S. Dollar condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019.~~2020.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as such item is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applies its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures that, by their nature, can only provide reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

A discussion of legal matters is found in Note 15 — Legal Proceedings in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

~~You should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I - Item 1A.~~ ~~Risk Factors~~ ~~in our Annual Report, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, or future results. Except as set forth below, there~~There have been no material changes ~~in our~~to the risk factors ~~included in our Annual Report.~~

~~The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, and may continue to have, a material adverse impact on our business, operations, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.~~

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to drive global uncertainty and disruption and has spread throughout the geographic regions in which we run our business and where our suppliers, third-party manufacturers, retail stores, wholesale customers, and consumers are located. The pandemic had a material impact on our retail and wholesale channel revenues, predominately in the first half of 2020, and the total impact of the pandemic on us will depend on developments outside of our control, including, among other factors, the duration and spread of the outbreak, actions that may be taken by governmental authorities to contain the outbreak or mitigate its impact, including related restrictions on movement and commercial activities, the economic or other impacts on our wholesale partners, the impact on and recovery time of our supply chain, consequential staffing shortages, manufacturing delays and the uncertainty with respect to the accessibility of additional liquidity or to the capital markets.

While most of our company-operated stores, our partner stores, and our wholesale partner stores were reopened during the three months ended September 30, 2020, some may close again upon additional COVID-19 outbreaks. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the length of time of any remaining closures, if further closures will occur, or if consumers will return to purchasing our products at historical levels in retail locations. The inability to sell our products in our retail or wholesale channels has had and may continue to have a material adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations.

We also rely upon the facilities of our third-party manufacturers outside of the U.S. to support our business as well as to export our products throughout the world. As a result of COVID-19 and the measures designed to contain the spread of the virus, our third-party manufacturers may not have the materials, capacity, or capability to manufacture our products according to our schedule and specifications, which may negatively impact our ability to manage inventories. If our third-party manufacturers’ operations are curtailed, we may need to seek alternate manufacturing sources, which may be unavailable, more expensive, or face the same constraints. The possibility of and the duration of any production or supply chain disruption, and related financial impact, if any, cannot be estimated at this time. Should any production and distribution closures continue for an extended period of time, the impact on our global supply chain could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows. See “~~We depend solely on third-party manufacturers located outside the U.S~~.” ~~in Item 1A.~~ ~~Risk Factors~~contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

(1) On February 20, 2018, the Board approved and authorized a program to repurchase up to $500.0 million of our ~~ability to successfully operate in many ways, including, but not limited~~common stock. On May 5, 2019, the Board approved an increase to the ~~following factors:~~

repurchase authorization of up to an additional $500.0 million of our common stock. Further, on April 23, 2021, the Board approved a $712.2 million increase to our share repurchase authorization, after which $1.0 billion remained available for future common stock repurchases. As of June 30, 2021, approximately $700.0 million remained available for repurchase under our share repurchase authorization. The number, price, structure and timing of the repurchases, if any, will be at our sole discretion and future repurchases will be evaluated by us depending on market conditions, liquidity needs, restrictions under our debt arrangements, and other factors. Share repurchases may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and does not oblige us to acquire any particular amount of our common stock. The Board may suspend, modify, or terminate the repurchase program at any time without prior notice.

•(2)~~the impact of the pandemic on the economies and financial markets of the countries and regions in which~~ In April 2021, we ~~operate, including a prolonged global recession, a decline in consumer confidence and spending, or a further increase in unemployment levels, has resulted, and could continue~~entered into an accelerated share repurchase arrangement (“ASR”) to ~~result, in consumers having less disposable income and, in turn, decreased sales~~repurchase $300.0 million of our ~~products;~~

•~~“shelter~~common stock. In exchange for an up-front payment of $300.0 million, the financial institution that was a party to the ASR committed to deliver to us shares of our common stock during the ASR’s purchase period, which ended June 2021. In April 2021, 2.3 million shares were delivered and retired at an average price of $130.43 (which is based on a partial share delivery in ~~place”~~April 2021). Subsequently, in June 2021, an additional 0.6 million shares were delivered and ~~other similar mandated or suggested isolation protocols,~~retired. The average price paid per share for the complete ASR, which ~~have disrupted, and could continue to disrupt, our retail locations, partner stores, and brick-and-mortar retailers via store closures or reduced operating hours and decreased retail traffic;~~

•~~difficulty accessing debt and equity on attractive terms, or at all, and a severe disruption and instability~~includes shares delivered in ~~the global financial markets or deterioration in credit and financing conditions may affect our ability to access capital necessary to operate our business;~~

•~~our success in attempting to reduce operating costs and conserve cash;~~June 2021, was $103.79.

~~Table of Contents~~

•~~our inability to obtain additional rent and other relief from our landlords if retail stores close in response to another outbreak, which may involve litigation or other disruptions;~~

•~~the failure of our wholesale customers, to whom we extend credit, to pay amounts owed to us on time, or at all, particularly if such customers are significantly impacted by COVID-19;~~

•the risk that even after the pandemic has initially subsided, fear of COVID-19 re-occurrence could cause customers to avoid public places where our stores and those of our wholesale partners are located such as malls and outlets;

•we may be required to revise certain accounting estimates and judgments such as, but not limited to, those related to the valuation of long-lived assets and deferred tax assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

The rapid development and fluidity of the pandemic precludes any prediction as to the ultimate impact of COVID-19. The full extent of the impact and effects of COVID-19 on our business, operations, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations remain uncertain at this time.
