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, 20202021 (“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.

Reclassifications

We have reclassified certain amounts on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, in Note 103Revenues,Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities, and in Note 1514 — 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, and purchase price allocation for the Acquisition, as described in Note 16 — Acquisition of HEYDUDE, are reasonable based on information available at the time they are made. To the extent there are differences between these estimates and actual results, our condensed consolidated financial statements may be materially affected.

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, as required, 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 not record impairment expense in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Additionally, no impairment expense was recorded in the three or nine months ended September 30, 2020.

7.6. 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 SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 or December 31, 2020.2021.

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.’

11.10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Our share-based compensation awards are issued under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (“2020 Plan”) and a predecessor plan, the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”). Any awards that expire or are forfeited under the 2015 Plan become available for issuance under the 2020 Plan.

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.

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 September 30, 2021, unrecognized share-based compensation for the January market-condition RSUs, which are expected to be recognized through August 2024 based on the Monte Carlo valuation model, was $9.2 million.

The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, compared to the same period in 2020,2021, was primarily driven by the prior year release of valuation allowances resulting from the enactment of a 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.law change. 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. We had unrecognized tax benefits of $193.6$211.6 million and $206.2 million at September

$218.4 million at June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, and we do not expect any significant changes in tax benefits in the next twelve months.

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, income tax expense decreased $74.0increased $184.5 million compared to the same period in 2020.2021. The effective tax rate for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 was -11.7%25.6% compared to an effective tax rate of 9.8%(33.3)% for the same period in 2020,2021, a 21.5% decrease.58.9% increase. This decreaseincrease in the effective rate was primarily driven primarily by the releaseprior year realization of deferred tax assets which were subject to a valuation allowances.allowance which did not reoccur in the current year. 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.

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 is reduced by a valuation 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. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, a jurisdiction for which we have historically recorded significant valuation allowances enacted a favorable change in the tax law related to net operating loss carryforwards. The change in tax law impacted 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 was recorded as a discrete tax benefit of $176.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

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, including federal corporate tax increases currently contemplated in the U.S.

15.14. OPERATING SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

WeCrocs, Inc. has 4 reportable operating segments. For the Crocs Brand, we have 3 reportable operating segments based on the geographic nature of our operations: Americas,North America, Asia Pacific, and EMEA.EMEALA. Beginning in the three months ended March 31, 2022, our HEYDUDE Brand also became a reportable segment on the Acquisition Date. Each of the reportable operating segments derives its revenues from the sale of footwear and accessories to external customers.

SegmentAdditionally, Crocs ‘Brand corporate’ costs represent operating expense that includes product creation, design, and marketing expenses centrally managed for the Crocs Brand, as well as certain royalty income. Crocs Brand corporate costs are included within the Crocs Brand for presentation purposes to align with the way management views the Company. ‘Enterprise corporate’ costs include global corporate costs associated with both brands, including legal, information technology, human resources, and finance, as well as costs associated with global digital operations.

Each segment’s performance is evaluated based on segment results without allocating Brand corporate expenses, or indirect general, administrative, and otherEnterprise corporate 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 unallocated brand and enterprise corporate and other expenses, as well as inter-segment eliminations.

In the three months ended March 31, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020 have been revised to conform to current period presentation, as shown in the following tables.

In the three months ended June 30, 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 for the three and nine months ended September 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.

16.15. 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 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 $6.1 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. 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 $4.6 million at current exchange rates, plus interest and penalties. Should the Brazilian Tax Authority prevail in these final administrative 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 otherlegal claims and disputes, we have accrued insignificant estimated losses of $0.9 million within ‘Accrued expenses and other liabilities’ in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021.2022. As we are able, we estimate reasonably possible losses or a range of reasonably possible losses. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we estimated that reasonably possible losses associated with these claims and other disputes could potentially exceed amounts accrued by approximately $0.6 million.an insignificant 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.

16. ACQUISITION OF HEYDUDE

On February 17, 2022, (the “Acquisition Date”), we acquired 100% of the equity of HEYDUDE, pursuant to the SPA. HEYDUDE is engaged in the business of distributing and selling casual footwear under the brand name “HEYDUDE.” The Acquisition allows us to diversify and expand our business by adding a second brand to the Crocs portfolio.

The aggregate preliminary purchase price at the closing of the Acquisition was $2.3 billion. We paid aggregate consideration of $2.05 billion in cash (the “Cash Consideration”), subject to adjustment based on, among other things, the cash, indebtedness, transaction expenses, and working capital of the companies comprising HEYDUDE and their respective subsidiaries as of the Acquisition Date, and issued 2,852,280 shares of the Company’s common stock to one of the sellers (the “Equity Consideration Shares”). The Equity Consideration Shares are subject to a lock-up period beginning on the Acquisition Date and continuing to, and including, the date that is 12 months after the Acquisition Date, provided that (a) on the date that is six months after the Acquisition Date, 50% of the Equity Consideration Shares will be released from the lock-up, and (b) on the date that is twelve months after the Acquisition Date, the remaining 50% of the Equity Consideration Shares will be released from the lock-up. In the three months ended June 30, 2022, the purchase price paid to the sellers was finalized.

The Cash Consideration was financed via the Company’s entry into the $2.0 billion Term Loan B Facility and $50.0 million of borrowings under the Revolving Facility. As a result of the Acquisition, HEYDUDE has become wholly owned by Crocs. Accordingly, the results of HEYDUDE are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the Acquisition Date and are reported in the HEYDUDE operating segment. HEYDUDE contributed revenue of $347.3 million and income from operations of $57.3 million from the Acquisition Date through June 30, 2022.

Purchase Price Allocation

The Acquisition was accounted for in accordance with the ASC Topic 805 Business Combinations. As a result, we have applied acquisition accounting, which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the Acquisition Date. For certain assets and liabilities, those fair values were consistent with historical carrying values. The fair value of inventory was determined using both a market approach and a cost approach.With respect to intangible assets, the estimated fair value was based on the Multi Period Excess Earnings approach for the trademark and the distributor method for the customer relationships. These models used primarily Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, including an estimate of future revenues, future cash flows, and discount rates.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the Acquisition Date:

(3) During the three months ended June 30, 2022, goodwill increased $72.2 million, $65.6 million of which relates to the valuation and tax adjustments described in footnotes (1), (2), (4), and (5), and $6.6 million of which relates to a working capital adjustment, as described in footnote (6).
(4) Includes a net decrease of $0.8 million made during the three months ended June 30, 2022, comprised of a valuation adjustment of $1.5 million related to the acquired loyalty program and a tax adjustment of $0.7 million.
(5) Includes the impact of tax adjustments: a decrease of $2.4 million to income taxes payable, a decrease of $17.1 million to long-term deferred tax liability, and an increase of $0.6 million to long-term income taxes payable.
(6) During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the purchase price consideration was increased by $6.6 million associated with a working capital adjustment.

The purchase consideration for the Acquisition is preliminary. Valuation by management of certain assets and liabilities, is still in process, and therefore, the actual fair values may vary significantly from these preliminary estimates. Final valuations are expected to be completed within one year of the Acquisition Date.

Total intangible assets$1,780,000 

As a result of the increase in fair value of the identifiable intangible assets, the deferred tax liability was increased by $309.4 million at the Acquisition Date.

Goodwill

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired business's net assets represents goodwill. The goodwill amount of $712.7 million at June 30, 2022 includes an adjustment of $72.2 million recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2022 as a result of changes to preliminary valuation estimates and a working capital adjustment. Goodwill largely consists of the acquired workforce and economies of scale resulting from the Acquisition. The total goodwill amount acquired was assigned to the HEYDUDE operating segment. None of the goodwill will be deductible for income tax purposes.

Escrow and Holdback Amounts

Additionally, $125.0 million of the Cash Consideration (the “Escrow Amount”) was placed in an escrow account to partially secure the indemnification obligations of the sellers, which will be released to the sellers, less any amounts that have been released to compensate the Company as provided in the SPA, after the date that is 18 months after the Acquisition Date. No liabilities have been recorded related to the Escrow Amount. Further, $8.5 million of the Cash Consideration (the “Adjustment Holdback Amount”) was held back and retained as security (but not as the sole source of recovery) for any downward adjustments to the purchase price made in accordance with the SPA. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Adjustment Holdback Amount was paid to the sellers.

Acquisition-related Costs

Costs incurred to complete the Acquisition are expensed as incurred and included in ‘Selling, general, and administrative expenses’ in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, there were approximately $20.6 million of Acquisition-related costs recognized. These costs represent legal, professional, and transaction fees.

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, 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:

Global industry-wide logistics challenges have continuedOn February 17, 2022, (the “Acquisition Date”), we acquired (the “Acquisition”) 100% of the equity of a privately-owned casual footwear brand business (“HEYDUDE”), pursuant to impact us, with somea securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) entered into on December 22, 2021. HEYDUDE is engaged in the business of distributing and selling casual footwear, including footwear under the brand name “HEYDUDE.” On the Acquisition Date, we purchased all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of HEYDUDE. The aggregate preliminary purchase price at the closing of the Acquisition was $2.3 billion. We paid aggregate consideration of $2.05 billion in cash (the “Cash Consideration”), subject to adjustment based on, among other things, the cash, indebtedness, transaction expenses, and working capital of the companies comprising HEYDUDE and their respective subsidiaries as of the Acquisition Date, and issued 2,852,280 shares of our factories in Vietnam closed for several weeks duringcommon stock to one of the third quarter. While mostsellers, which shares are subject to a lock-up. The Cash Consideration was financed via our entry into the $2.0 billion Term Loan B Facility (as defined below) and $50.0 million of borrowings under our factories in Vietnam are operational, they are in various stagesRevolving Facility (as defined below). The Acquisition has enabled us to further diversify our product portfolio under two brands. We intend to leverage our global presence, innovative marketing, and scale infrastructure to grow HEYDUDE and to create significant shareholder value. For more information on the Acquisition, refer to Note 16 — Acquisition of reopening. We expect the situation to remain fluid as COVID-19 break-out rates fluctuate, including any deterioration in circumstances related to COVID-19 variants, and whether vaccination rates increaseHEYDUDE in the country. We are taking several measuresaccompanying notes to ensure continued future growth and strong gross marginsthe condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results reported for the rest of 2021 and in 2022. We are shifting production capacity to other countries, including China, Indonesia, and Bosnia, as we are able, to minimize unit shortfall. Fortunately, our products have limited inputs and simple configurations, which gives us a unique competitive advantage to increase factory production quickly. Additionally, by prioritizing top selling products and narrowing product assortment, while still preserving newness, we are able to improve factory throughput. We are also maintaining flexibility by leveraging air freight and reducing our dependencyHEYDUDE Brand herein represent the partial period beginning on congested West Coast ports in the United States by adding East Coast trans-shipment capabilities starting in the fourth quarter of 2021. In addition to maximizing supply, we are strategically allocating units and we will prioritize our key growth initiatives, including digital sales and our major wholesale customers. With the actions taken to-date and our future plans, we feel Crocs is well-positioned to emerge an even stronger, more diversified brand.Acquisition Date through June 30, 2022 (the “Partial Period”).
Despite these actions, we expect to still be impacted by global logistics challenges forTo support the remainderlong-term growth of 2021 and into 2022. Specifically,both brands we plan to invest approximately $75 millioncontinue leveraging selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) as a percent of revenues, while maintaining investments in air freight in 2022certain key areas, including marketing and digital commerce. We also believe our ability to bolster our inventory positions for the first half of 2022 in all regions. Supported by the health of our brand, wholesale orders for the first half of 2022 have been exceptionally strong. However, we expectleverage Supply Chain, Information Technology, Finance, HR, and Legal resources across both brands will allow us to have limitations around demand fulfillmentmanage SG&A effectively in the first half of the year. Additionally, we expect Europe, Middle East, and Africa (“EMEA”) revenue growth in the fourth quarter of 2021 will be disproportionately impacted by the Vietnam supply disruption, as much of the region’s inventory is sourced there.future.
Global industry-wide logistics challenges, global inflation, has also begunand foreign currency fluctuations resulting in a stronger U.S. Dollar, have impacted, and we expect will continue to impact, our business, contributing to incremental freight costs, increased wages, particularly in our distribution centers, and increased raw materials cost.costs. Partial COVID-19-related closures in Vietnam in the first quarter of 2022 and in China in the second quarter of 2022 also negatively impacted our supply chain. In the six months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred air freight costs of approximately $57 million of our $75 million plan for 2022, which has helped mitigate supply delays as a result of Vietnam closures. We expect this trend will continue through the fourth quarter of 2021situation to remain fluid as COVID-19 break-out rates, including any deterioration in circumstances related to COVID-19 variants, and during 2022.
Consumer demand for our brand continues to be strong, fueled by increased marketing investmentforeign exchange rates fluctuate, and compelling product, and is leading to strong sales growth, particularly in our clog and sandal silhouettes.
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 began production on bio-based products, which are expected to go on sale in 2022, using materials sourced from waste and by-product from other industries. 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. During the third quarter, 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.
In 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.
During the third quarter of 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a $1.0 billion increase to our share repurchase authorization. As of September 30, 2021, we had remaining authorization to repurchase approximately $1.6 billion of our common stock. In September 2021, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) arrangement, effective October 2021, to repurchase an additional $500.0 million of shares of our common stock in the

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, 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.

SG&A was $196.7$249.8 million compared to $134.7$199.9 million in the thirdsecond quarter of 2020.2021, as a result of investments in headcount and marketing as we continue to grow the business, costs related to the integration of HEYDUDE, and incremental operating costs associated with operating the HEYDUDE Brand.

As of June 30, 2022, the Term Loan B Facility was fully drawn and there was no available borrowing capacity. We believe that cash flows from operations, our cash and cash equivalents on hand, and available borrowings under our Revolving Facility will be sufficient to meet our ongoing liquidity needs and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Additional future financing may be necessary to fund our operations and there can be no assurance that, if needed, we will be able to secure additional debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. 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 among other factors, could each impact our business and liquidity.

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.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by all of the assets of the Borrowers and guaranteed by certain other subsidiaries of the Borrowers.

The Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of 4.003.00 to 1.00, and a maximum leverage ratio of (i) 3.50 to 1.00 from the quarter ended December 31, 2020 to the quarter ended December 31, 2021, and (ii) 3.254.00 to 1.00 from the quarter ended March 31, 2022 through, and including, the quarter ending December 31, 2023, (ii) 3.75 to 1.00 for the quarter ending March 31, 2024, (iii) 3.50 to 1.00 for the quarter ending June 30, 2024, and (iv) 3.25 to 1.00 for the quarter ending September 30, 2024 and thereafter (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances). The Credit Agreement permits, among other things, (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 SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, the total commitments available from the lenders under the Revolving Facility were $500.0$600.0 million. At SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we had no$130.0 million in outstanding borrowings, which are due when the Revolving Facility matures in July 2024, and $0.3 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Facility, which reduces amounts available for borrowing under the Revolving Facility. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, we had $499.7$469.7 million and $319.4$414.7 million, respectively, of available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility.

Term Loan B Facility

On February 17, 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Term Loan B Credit Agreement”) with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and lender, to among other things, finance a portion of the cash consideration for the Acquisition.

The Term Loan B Credit Agreement provides for an aggregate term loan B facility in the principal amount of $2.0 billion (the “Term Loan B Facility”), which is secured by substantially all of the Company’s and each subsidiary guarantor’s assets on a pari passu basis with their obligations arising from the Credit Agreement and is scheduled to mature on February 17, 2029, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Term Loan B Credit Agreement. Additionally, subject to certain conditions, including, without limitation, satisfying certain leverage ratios, the Company may, at any time, on one or more occasions, add one or more new classes of term facilities and/or increase the principal amount of the loans of any existing class by requesting one or more incremental term facilities.

Each term loan borrowing which is an alternate base rate borrowing bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Term Loan B Credit Agreement), plus 2.50%. Each term loan borrowing which is a term benchmark borrowing bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Term Loan B Credit Agreement) plus 3.50%.

Outstanding principal under the Term Loan B Facility is payable on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, in a quarterly aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million. Quarterly aggregate principal payments began on June 30,

2022, with the remaining principal amount due on February 17, 2029, the maturity date. As of June 30, 2022, we had $1,995.0 million in outstanding principal and the Term Loan B Facility was fully drawn with no remaining borrowing capacity.

The Term Loan B Credit Agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, incurrence financial covenants, representations and warranties, events of default and other provisions. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Term Loan B Credit Agreement.

Asia Revolving Credit Facilities

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had two revolving credit facilities in Asia, the revolving credit facility with China Merchants Bank Company Limited, Shanghai Branch (the “CMBC Facility”) which provides up to 10.0 million RMB, or $1.5 million at current exchange rates, and matures in January 2023, and the revolving credit facility with Citibank (China) Company Limited, Shanghai Branch (the “Citibank Facility”), which provides up to an equivalent of $10.0 million.

As of June 30, 2022, we had borrowings outstanding of $0.5 million on the CMBC Facility, which are due in September 2022 and borrowings outstanding of $4.9 million on the Citibank Facility, which are due at various dates within the third quarter of 2022. We had no borrowings under our Asia revolving facilities during the year ended December 31, 2021 or outstanding at December 31, 2021.

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.

37

Table of Contents
Business Combinations

We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that once control is obtained, all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. Contingent consideration, if any, is included within the purchase price and is recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date. We allocate the purchase price of acquired businesses to the tangible assets, intangible assets, and contingent consideration based upon internal estimates of cash flows and consideration and/or the report of a third-party valuation expert, and this requires a significant amount of management judgment. The determination of fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities as well as contingent consideration requires estimates and the use of valuation techniques when market value is not readily available. During the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be recorded, with the corresponding offset to goodwill.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we acquired HEYDUDE. The aggregate closing price of the Acquisition was $2.3 billion. The fair value of the acquired assets was determined by a third-party valuation specialist. The fair value of inventory was determined using a market approach and a cost approach, the replacement cost method. These methods were reconciled in order to allocate profit and expenses to measure the inventory value created by a seller. For the trademark, the third-party valuation team used the Multi Period Excess Earnings approach and for customer relationships, the valuation team used the distributor method.

Deferred taxes associated with estimated fair value adjustments reflect an estimated tax rate applicable to the acquiree. Deferred tax has been calculated based on the fair value adjustments of inventories and intangible assets using the tax rates for US and HK entities. This determination is preliminary and subject to change based upon the final determination of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of the acquiree.

The fair values of all the other assets and liabilities noted are equal to their carrying values due to the nature of the specific asset or liability. Refer to Note 16 — Acquisition of HEYDUDE 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 for additional details on the Acquisition.

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 Revolving Facility and certain financial instruments.

Borrowings under our Revolving 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2022, we had borrowings with a face value of $2,830.4 million, comprised of the Notes, which carry a fixed rate, the Term Loan B Facility, and borrowings under the Revolving Facility and Asia revolving facilities. We also had $0.3 million in outstanding letters of credit under our Revolving Facility as of June 30, 2022. As of December 31, 2021, we had long-term borrowings with a face value of $700.0$785.0 million comprised of the Notes, which carry a fixed rate, and $0.3 million in outstanding letters of credit under our Facility. As of December 31, 2020, we had $180.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $0.6 million in outstanding letters of credit under ourRevolving Facility.

A hypothetical increase of 1% in the interest rate on the borrowings under our Term Loan B Facility borrowingsand Revolving Facility would have increased interest expense by less than $0.1$5.6 million and $0.6$7.6 million for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, 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 would have decreased our revenues and income before taxes during the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 by $1.9$3.2 million and $6.4$0.9 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of 1% of the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to foreign currencies would have decreased our revenues and income before taxes by $5.6 million and $1.4 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, the U.S. Dollar notional value of our outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts was approximately $166.3$152.7 million. The net fair value of these contracts at SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 was an asset of $0.3$0.2 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, 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 $0.4$0.8 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 ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and 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”). as of June 30, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we closed the Acquisition, as discussed in Note 16 — Acquisition of HEYDUDE 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. As such, the scope of our assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures did not include internal controls over financial reporting at HEYDUDE. HEYDUDE revenues represented approximately 24.1% and 21.4% of our total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. This exclusion is consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) staff's guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from the scope of our assessment of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures that are also part of internal control over financial reporting in the year of acquisition.

Based onupon that this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, 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’sSEC’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

ThereAs noted above, we are in the process of integrating HEYDUDE into our overall internal control over financial reporting and will include HEYDUDE in Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures for the year ended December 31, 2023. This process may result in addition or changes to our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, as a result of the Acquisition, we have implemented new processes and controls over accounting for an acquisition during the six months ended June 30, 2022, including determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Except as described herein, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the three or six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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 have been no material changes in our risk factors included in our Annual Report.

Further escalation of geopolitical tensions related to the war between Russia and Ukraine, including increased trade barriers or restrictions on global trade, could result in, among other things, broader impacts that expand into other markets, cyberattacks, supply chain and logistics disruptions, lower consumer demand, and changes to foreign exchange rates and financial markets, any of which may adversely affect our business and supply chain. In addition, the effects of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine could heighten many of our third-party factoriesknown risks described in Vietnam resumed operationsPart I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the third quarter but they remain in various stages of reopening. Closures and factory disruptions may recur if additional COVID-19 break-outs occur in Vietnam or other countries where we relyour Annual Report on third-party manufacturers to produce our products.

We also rely on international shipping to transport our products to their various geographic markets. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, international shipping to the U.S. was disrupted and delayed due to congestion in west coast ports. Delays in shipping may cause us to have to use more expensive air freight or other more costly methods to ship our products. In addition, global inflation has contributed to already higher incremental freight costs. Failure to adequately produce and timely ship our products to customers could lead to lost potential revenue, failure to meet customer demand, strained relationships with customers, including wholesales, and diminished brand loyalty.

Despite our actions to mitigate these impacts, we expect to still be impacted by global logistics challenges in the remainder of 2021 and into 2022. Specifically, we plan to invest approximately $75 million in air freight in 2022 to bolster our inventory positionsForm 10-K for the first half of 2022 in all regions. Additionally, we expect EMEA revenue growth inyear ended December 31, 2021, filed with the fourth quarter of 2021 will be disproportionately impacted by the Vietnam supply disruption, as much of the region’s inventory is sourced there.

(1) On February 20, 2018, the Board approved and authorized a program to repurchase up to $500.0 million of our common stock. On May 5, 2019, the Board approved an increase to the repurchase authorization of up to an additional $500.0 million of our common stock. On April 23, 2021, the Board approved a $712.2 million increase to our share repurchase authorization. Additionally, on September 23, 2021, the Board approved an increase of $1.0 billion to our share repurchase authorization. Note, the table above does not include the September 2021 accelerated share repurchase, which will settle during the fourth quarter of 2021. As of September 30, 2021, approximately $1.6 billion 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.
