The Company and Summary Of Sign

The Company and Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2019
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
The Company and Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies	(1) THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) The Company and Basis of Presentation Skechers U.S.A., Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) designs, develops, markets and distributes footwear. The Company operates 497 domestic and 303 international retail stores and direct-to-consumer business as of December 31, 2019. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements in prior years to conform to the current year presentation. (b) Use of Estimates The Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates relate primarily to revenue recognition, allowance for bad debts, returns, sales allowances and customer chargebacks, inventory write-downs, valuation of intangibles and long-lived assets, goodwill, litigation reserves and valuation of deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. (c) Revenue Recognition In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and not as a separate performance obligation. The Company records accounts receivable at the time of shipment when the Company’s right to the consideration becomes unconditional. The Company typically extends credit terms to its wholesale customers based on their creditworthiness and generally does not receive advance payments. Generally, wholesale customers do not have the right to return goods, however, the Company periodically decides to accept returns or provide customers with credits. Allowances for estimated returns, discounts, doubtful accounts and chargebacks are provided for when related revenue is recorded. Retail and direct-to-consumer sales represent amounts due from credit card companies and are generally collected within a few days of the purchase. As such, the Company has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts for retail and direct-to-consumer sales is not necessary. The Company earns royalty income from its licensing arrangements, which qualify as symbolic licenses rather than functional licenses. Upon signing a new licensing agreement, the Company receives up-front fees, which are generally characterized as prepaid royalties. These fees are initially deferred and recognized as revenue is earned (i.e., as licensed sales are reported to the Company or on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement). The Company applies the sales-based royalty exception for the royalty income based on sales and recognizes revenue only when subsequent sales occur. The Company calculates and accrues estimated royalties based on the agreement terms and correspondence with the licensees regarding actual sales. Judgments The Company considered several factors in determining that control transfers to the customer upon shipment of products. These factors include that legal title transfers to the customer, the Company has a present right to payment, and the customer has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership at the time of shipment. The Company accrues a liability for product returns at the time of sale based on historical experience. The Company also accrues amounts for goods expected to be returned in salable condition. As of December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company’s sales returns liability totaled $86.5 million and $67.3 million, respectively, and was included in accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic revenue recognition methodology under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition (d) Business Combinations Business acquisitions are accounted for under the acquisition method by assigning the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their fair values and the excess of the purchase price over the amounts assigned is recorded as goodwill. Purchased intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Fair value determinations require judgment and may involve the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, asset lives, and market multiples, among other items. The purchase price allocation is subject to adjustment until the Company has completed its analysis within the measurement period. In the second quarter of 2019, the Company purchased a 60% interest in Manhattan SKMX, de R.L. de C.V. (“Skechers Mexico”), for a total cash consideration of $100.7 million, net of cash acquired. Skechers Mexico is a joint venture that operates and generates sales in Mexico. As a result of this purchase, Skechers Mexico became a majority-owned subsidiary and the results are consolidated in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is in the final process of completing the purchase price allocation, which will be completed by April 1, 2020. However, the finalization may result in changes in the assets acquired and tax-related items. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of the acquisition, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ( e ) Business Segment Information The Company’s operations and segments are organized along its distribution channels and consist of the following: domestic wholesale, international wholesale, and direct-to-consumer sales. Information regarding these segments is summarized in Note 20 – Segment and Geographic Reporting. ( f ) Noncontrolling Interests The Company has equity interests in several joint ventures that were established either to exclusively distribute the Company’s products throughout Mexico, Asia and the Middle East or to construct the Company’s domestic distribution facility. These joint ventures are variable interest entities (“VIE”)’s under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10-15-14. The Company’s determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE considers all relationships between the Company and the VIE, including management agreements, governance documents and other contractual arrangements. The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary for these VIE’s because the Company has both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity, or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. Accordingly, the Company includes the assets and liabilities and results of operations of these entities in its consolidated financial statements, even though the Company may not hold a majority equity interest. There have been no changes during 2019 in the accounting treatment or characterization of any previously identified VIE. The Company continues to reassess these relationships quarterly. The assets of these joint ventures are restricted in that they are not available for general business use outside the context of such joint ventures. The holders of the liabilities of each joint venture have no recourse to the Company. The Company does not have a variable interest in any unconsolidated VIEs. ( g ) Fair Value of Financial Instruments The accounting standard for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This accounting standard established a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required: • Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s Level 1 non-derivative investments primarily include money market funds and U.S. Treasury securities. • Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Company’s Level 2 non-derivative investments primarily include corporate notes and bonds, asset-backed securities, U.S. Agency securities, and actively traded mutual funds. The Company has one Level 2 derivative which is an interest rate swap related to the refinancing of its domestic distribution center (see below). • Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company currently does not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities. The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments, which principally include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, long-term investments, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of the relatively short maturity of such instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s short-term and long-term borrowings, which are considered Level 2 liabilities, approximates fair value based upon current rates and terms available to the Company for similar debt. As of August 12, 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement concurrent with refinancing its domestic distribution center construction loan (see Note 8 - Derivative Instruments). The fair value of the interest rate swap was determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipt was based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. To comply with U.S. GAAP, credit valuation adjustments were incorporated to appropriately reflect both the Company’s nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. The majority of the inputs used to value the interest rate swap were within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of December 31, 2019, the interest rate swap was a Level 2 derivative and was classified as other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. ( h ) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include deposits with initial terms of less than three months. For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. ( i ) Investments In general, investments with original maturities of greater than three months and remaining maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term investments. Investments consist of U.S. Treasury Bonds, U.S. Agency securities, corporate notes and bonds, asset-backed securities and actively traded mutual funds. ( j ) Allowance for Bad Debts, Returns, Sales Allowances and Customer Chargebacks The Company provides a reserve, charged against revenue and its receivables, for estimated losses that may result from its customers’ inability to pay. To minimize the likelihood of uncollectability, customers’ credit-worthiness is reviewed and adjusted periodically in accordance with external credit reporting services, financial statements issued by the customer and the Company’s experience with the account. When a customer’s account becomes significantly past due, the Company generally places a hold on the account and discontinues further shipments to that customer, minimizing further risk of loss. The Company determines the amount of the reserve by analyzing known uncollectible accounts, aged receivables, economic conditions in the customers’ countries or industries, historical losses and its customers’ credit-worthiness. Amounts later determined and specifically identified to be uncollectible are charged against this reserve. Allowance for returns, sales allowances and The Company also reserves for potential disputed amounts or chargebacks from its customers. The Company’s chargeback reserve is based on a collectability percentage calculated using factors such as historical trends, current economic conditions, and nature of the chargeback receivables. The Company also reserves for potential sales returns and allowances based on historical trends. The likelihood of a material loss on an uncollectible account would be mainly dependent on deterioration in the overall economic conditions in a particular country or environment. Reserves are fully provided for all probable losses of this nature. For receivables that are not specifically identified as high-risk, the Company provides a reserve based upon its historical loss rate as a percentage of sales. ( k ) Inventories Inventories, principally finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost (based on the first-in, first-out method) or market (net realizable value). Cost includes shipping and handling fees and costs, which are subsequently expensed to cost of sales. The Company provides for estimated losses from obsolete or slow-moving inventories, and writes down the cost of inventory at the time such determinations are made. Reserves are estimated based on inventory on hand, historical sales activity, industry trends, the retail environment, and the expected net realizable value. The net realizable value is determined using estimated sales prices of similar inventory through off-price or discount store channels. ( l ) Property, Plant and Equipment Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method, which based on the following estimated useful lives: Buildings 20 years Building improvements 10 years Furniture, fixtures and equipment 5 to 20 years Leasehold improvements Useful life or remaining lease term, whichever is shorter Property, plant and equipment subject to depreciation and amortization is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The Company reviews both quantitative and qualitative factors to assess whether a triggering event occurred. The Company reviews all stores for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances require it. The Company prepares a summary of store cash flows from its retail stores to assess potential impairment of the fixed assets, leasehold improvements, and operating lease right-of-use assets. Stores with negative cash flows which have been open in excess of 24 months are then reviewed in detail to determine whether impairment exists. Recoverability of assets or asset group to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset or asset group. The Company did not record impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 or 2017. (m) Goodwill Goodwill is assigned to reporting units. Goodwill is not amortized, but the Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances require it. First, the Company determines if, based on qualitative factors, it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. Factors considered include historical financial performance, macroeconomic and industry conditions and the legal and regulatory environment. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that an impairment exists, then a quantitative assessment is performed. The quantitative assessment involves calculating an estimated fair value of each reporting unit based on projected future cash flows and comparing the estimated fair values of the reporting units to their carrying amounts, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, including goodwill, no impairment is recognized. However, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess, limited to the total goodwill balance of the reporting unit. The quantitative assessment requires an analysis of several best estimates and assumptions, including future sales and operating results, and other factors that could affect fair value or otherwise indicate potential impairment. The Company also considers the reporting units’ projected ability to generate income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods, as well as perceived changes in consumer demand and acceptance of products, or factors impacting the industry generally. The fair value assessment could change materially if different estimates and assumptions were used. ( n ) Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities for taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry‑forwards using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit or expense is recognized as a result of changes in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all of any deferred tax assets will not be realized. ( o ) Foreign Currency Translation In accordance with ASC 830-30, ( p ) Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income is presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income consists of net earnings, foreign currency translation adjustments, and income attributable to non-controlling interests. ( q ) Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed in the period in which the advertisements are first run, or over the life of the endorsement contract. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was approximately $297.1 million, $278.4 million and $260.4 million, respectively. Prepaid advertising costs were $6.4 million and $4.4 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Prepaid amounts outstanding at December 31, 2019 and 2018 represent the unamortized portion of endorsement contracts, advertising in trade publications and media productions created, but not run, as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. ( r ) Product Design and Development Costs The Company charges all product design and development costs to general and administrative expenses, when incurred. Product design and development costs aggregated approximately $16.8 million, $18.5 million, and $18.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. ( s ) Warehouse and Distribution Costs The Company’s distribution network-related costs are included in general and administrative expenses and are not allocated to specific segments. The expenses related to its distribution network, including the functions of purchasing, receiving, inspecting, allocating, warehousing and packaging of its products totaled $276.4 million, $249.6 million and $219.6 million for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. ( t ) Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02 “ Leases (Topic 842) identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not recognize any adjustment to opening balance of retained earnings.

The maturities of the Company’s long-term investments are typically less than two years. The Company considers declines in market value of its marketable securities investment portfolio to be temporary in nature. The Company typically invests in highly-rated securities, and its investment policy generally limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. The policy generally requires investments to be investment grade, with the primary objective of minimizing the potential risk of principal loss. Fair values were determined for each individual security in the investment portfolio. When evaluating an investment for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below its cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, changes in market interest rates and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the investment’s cost basis. As of December 31, 2019, the Company does not consider any of its investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments	( 8 ) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company used an interest rate swap as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. The Company’s interest rate swap involves the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. On August 12, 2015, in connection with refinancing its domestic distribution center loan, described in Note 7 above, the Company entered into a variable-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement with Bank of America, N.A., to hedge the cash flows on the Company’s $70.0 million variable rate debt. As of December 31, 2019, the swap agreement has an aggregate notional amount of $63.7 million and a maturity date of August 12, 2022, subject to early termination commencing on August 1, 2020 at the option of HF Logistics-SKX T1, LLC (“HF-T1”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company’s joint venture HF Logistics-SKX, LLC (the “JV”). Under the terms of the swap agreement, the Company will pay a weighted-average fixed rate of 2.08% on the $63.7 million notional amount and receive payments from the counterparty based on the 30-day LIBOR rate. The rate swap agreement utilized by the Company effectively modifies its exposure to interest rate risk by converting the Company’s floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate of 4.08% for the life of the loan thus reducing the impact of interest-rate changes on future interest expense. Pursuant to the terms of the JV, HF Logistics is responsible for any amounts related to the Swap Agreement. By utilizing an interest rate swap, the Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event that the counterparty fails to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. To mitigate this risk, the Company enters into derivative contracts with major financial institutions based upon credit ratings and other factors. The Company continually assesses the creditworthiness of its counterparties. As of December 31, 2019, all counterparties to the interest rate swap had performed in accordance with their contractual obligations.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements for loss contingencies when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When determining the estimated loss or range of loss, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded. Estimates of probable losses resulting from litigation and governmental proceedings are inherently difficult to predict, particularly when the matters are in the procedural stages or with unspecified or indeterminate claims for damages, potential penalties, or fines. Accordingly, the Company cannot determine the final amount, if any, of its liability beyond the amount accrued in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019, nor is it possible to estimate what litigation-related costs will be in the future; however, the Company believes that the likelihood that claims related to litigation would result in a material loss to the Company, either individually or in the aggregate, is remote.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	(1 4 ) EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share represents net earnings divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share, in addition to the weighted average determined for basic earnings per share, includes potential dilutive common shares using the treasury stock method. The Company has two classes of issued and outstanding common stock: Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. Holders of Class A Common Stock and holders of Class B Common Stock have substantially identical rights, including rights with respect to any declared dividends or distributions of cash or property, and the right to receive proceeds on liquidation or dissolution of the Company after payment of the Company’s indebtedness. The two classes have different voting rights, with holders of Class A Common Stock entitled to one vote per share while holders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to ten votes per share on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The Company uses the two-class method for calculating net earnings per share. Basic and diluted net earnings per share of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are identical. The shares of Class B Common Stock are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of Class A Common Stock on a share-for-share basis. In addition, shares of Class B Common Stock will be automatically converted into a like number of shares of Class A Common Stock upon transfer to any person or entity who is not a permitted transferee. The following is a reconciliation of net earnings and weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating earnings per share (in thousands): Basic earnings per share 2019 2018 2017 Net earnings attributable to Skechers U.S.A., Inc. $ 346,560 $ 301,041 $ 179,190 Weighted average common shares outstanding 153,392 155,815 155,651 Basic earnings per share attributable to Skechers U.S.A., Inc. $ 2.26 $ 1.93 $ 1.15 Diluted earnings per share 2019 2018 2017 Net earnings attributable to Skechers U.S.A., Inc. $ 346,560 $ 301,041 $ 179,190 Weighted average common shares outstanding 153,392 155,815 155,651 Dilutive effect of nonvested shares 759 635 872 Weighted average common shares outstanding 154,151 156,450 156,523 Diluted earnings per share attributable to Skechers U.S.A., Inc. $ 2.25 $ 1.92 $ 1.14 There were 10,838, 352,169, and 116,762 shares excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively, because they are anti-dilutive.

Stock Compensation	(1 5 ) STOCK COMPENSATION (a) Incentive Award Plan On April 16, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2007 Incentive Award Plan (the “2007 Plan”), which became effective upon approval by the Company’s stockholders on May 24, 2007 and expired pursuant to its terms on May 24, 2017. On April 17, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2017 Incentive Award Plan (the “2017 Plan”), which became effective upon approval by the Company’s stockholders on May 23, 2017. The 2017 Plan replaced and superseded in its entirety the 2007 Plan. A total of 10,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock were reserved for issuance under the 2017 Plan, which provides for grants of ISOs, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock and various other types of equity awards as described in the plan to the employees, consultants and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. The 2017 Plan is administered by the Company’s Board of Directors with respect to awards to non-employee directors and by the Company’s Compensation Committee with respect to other eligible participants. A summary of the status and changes of nonvested shares related to the 2007 Plan and the 2017 Plan, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 is presented below: SHARES WEIGHTED-AVERAGE GRANT-DATE FAIR VALUE Nonvested at January 1, 2017 3,043,164 $ 24.57 Granted 495,600 24.69 Vested/Released (1,157,207 ) 20.73 Cancelled (78,000 ) 32.62 Nonvested at December 31, 2017 2,303,557 26.25 Granted 1,811,000 38.05 Vested/Released (1,018,283 ) 21.91 Cancelled (127,333 ) 29.71 Nonvested at December 31, 2018 2,968,941 34.79 Granted 1,603,000 28.45 Vested/Released (1,116,868 ) 32.46 Cancelled (28,250 ) 39.40 Nonvested at December 31, 2019 3,426,823 32.55 As of December 31, 2019, a total of 6,515,750 shares remain available for grant as equity awards under the 2017 Plan. The Company recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings compensation expense of $41.1 million, $30.5 million and $28.9 million for grants under its stock compensation plans for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. Related excess income tax benefits of $0.3 million, $1.6 million, and $2.6 million was recorded in the statement of earnings for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Nonvested shares generally vest over a graded vesting schedule from one to four years from the date of grant. There was $81.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested common shares as of December 31, 2019, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $36.3 million and $22.3 million, respectively. (b) Stock Purchase Plan On April 17, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2018 ESPP”), which the Company’s stockholders approved on May 23, 2017. The 2018 ESPP replaced the Company’s previous employee stock purchase plan, the Skechers U.S.A., Inc. 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2008 ESPP”), which expired pursuant to its terms on January 1, 2018. The 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan provides eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries with the opportunity to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at a purchase price equal to 85% of the Class A Common Stock’s fair market value on the first trading day or last trading day of each purchase period, whichever is lower. The 2018 ESPP generally provides for two six-month purchase periods every twelve months: June 1 through November 30 and December 1 through May 31, except that the initial purchase period under the 2018 ESPP had a duration of five months, commencing on January 1, 2018 and ending on May 31, 2018. Eligible employees participating in the 2018 ESPP for a purchase period will be able to invest up to 15% of their compensation through payroll deductions during each purchase period. A total of 5,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock are available for sale under the 2018 ESPP. During 2019, 2018 and 2017, 260,630 shares, 221,889 shares and 240,000 shares were issued under the 2018 ESPP and 2008 ESPP for which the Company received approximately $6.2 million, $5.3 million and $5.5 million, respectively. The purchase price discount and the look-back feature cause the 2018 ESPP to be compensatory and the Company recognizes compensation expense, which is computed using Black-Scholes options pricing model.

Income Taxes	( 1 6 ) INCOME TAXES The provisions for income tax expense were as follows (in thousands): 2019 2018 2017 Federal: Current $ 22,899 $ 11,379 $ 110,448 Deferred (3,583 ) (3,971 ) 3,768 Total federal 19,316 7,408 114,216 State: Current 6,384 5,408 2,747 Deferred (813 ) (1,316 ) (3,356 ) Total state 5,571 4,092 (609 ) Foreign: Current 66,656 53,071 40,147 Deferred (2,790 ) (3,960 ) (4,598 ) Total foreign 63,866 49,111 35,549 Total income taxes (benefit) $ 88,753 $ 60,611 $ 149,156 Due to the enactment of Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) in December 2017, the Company is subject to a tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”). GILTI is a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. Companies subject to GILTI have the option to account for the GILTI tax as a period cost if and when incurred, or to recognize deferred taxes for temporary differences including outside basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI. The Company has elected to account for GILTI as a period cost, and therefore has included GILTI expense in its effective tax rate calculation for the period. The SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under Accounting Standards Codification 740 (“ASC 740”). In connection with its initial analysis of the impact of the Tax Act, the Company recorded a provisional one-time net tax expense of $99.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. In 2018, the Company obtained additional information which reduced the Company’s provisional accounting for certain tax effects of the Tax Act by $10.9 million, from $99.9 million as reported at December 31, 2017, to $89.0 million. The Company’s provision for income tax expense (benefit) and effective income tax rate are significantly impacted by the mix of the Company’s domestic and foreign earnings (loss) before income taxes. In the non-U.S. jurisdictions in which the Company has operations, the applicable statutory rates are generally lower than in the U.S., ranging from 0.0% to 34.6%. The Company’s provision for income tax expense (benefit) was calculated using the applicable rate for each jurisdiction applied to the Company’s pre-tax earnings (loss) with application of transfer pricing considerations in each jurisdiction, while the Company’s effective tax rate is calculated by dividing income tax expense (benefit) by earnings before income taxes. The Company’s earnings (loss) before income taxes and income tax expense (benefit) for 2019 , 2018 and 2017 are as follows (in thousands): Years Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2017 Income tax jurisdiction Earnings (loss) before income taxes Income tax expense Earnings (loss) before income taxes Income tax expense (benefit) Earnings (loss) before income taxes Income tax expense United States (1) $ 4,999 $ 24,887 $ 16,597 $ 11,500 $ 25,628 $ 113,607 Peoples Republic of China (“China”) 121,702 30,320 89,429 19,595 95,668 12,971 Hong Kong 50,131 4,303 48,352 8,106 17,778 5,030 Jersey (2) 245,561 — 213,327 — 198,048 — Non-benefited loss operations (3) (7,685 ) 1,184 (11,422 ) (3,387 ) (17,350 ) 3,306 Other jurisdictions (4) 101,297 28,059 75,601 24,797 64,488 14,242 Earnings before income taxes $ 516,005 $ 88,753 $ 431,884 $ 60,611 $ 384,260 $ 149,156 Effective tax rate (5) 17.2% 14.0% 38.8% (1) United States income tax expense for 2017 includes a provisional one-time $99.9 million tax expense related to the enactment of the United States Tax Cuts & Jobs Act on December 22, 2017.

(5) . For 2019, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal and state combined statutory rate of approximately 25%, primarily because of earnings from foreign operations in jurisdictions imposing either lower tax rates on corporate earnings or no corporate income tax. During 2019, as reflected in the table above, earnings (loss) before income taxes in the U.S. were $ 5.0 24.9 498 increased $245.6 million in 2019 213.3 increase increase increase As of December 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $824.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $566.4 million, or 68.7%, was held outside the U.S. Of the $566.4 million held by its non-U.S. subsidiaries, approximately $220.3 million is available for repatriation to the U.S. without incurring U.S. income taxes and applicable non-U.S. income and withholding taxes in excess of the amounts accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents held in the U.S. and cash provided from operations are sufficient to meet the Company’s liquidity needs in the U.S. for the next twelve months. However, in anticipation of the needs of the Company’s share repurchase program and the need to provide payment of the Company’s provisional Transition Tax liability, the Company may repatriate certain funds held outside the U.S. for which all applicable U.S. and non-U.S. tax has been fully provided as of December 31, 201 9 . The Company has provided for the tax impact of expected distributions from its joint venture in China as well as from its subsidiary in Chile to its intermediate parent company in Switzerland. Otherwise because of the need for cash for operating capital and continued overseas expansion, the Company does not foresee the need for any of its other foreign subsidiaries to distribute funds up to an intermediate foreign parent company in any form of taxable dividend. Under current applicable tax laws, if the Company chooses to repatriate some or all of the funds the Company has designated as indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S., the amount repatriated would not be subject to federal income tax but may be subject to applicable non-U.S. income and withholding taxes, and to certain state income taxes.

The Company believes it is more likely than not that the results of future operations in the remaining jurisdictions will generate sufficient taxable income to realize its net deferred tax assets. State tax credit and net operating loss carry-forward amounts remaining as of December 31, 2019 were $10.5 million and $31.0 million, respectively. State tax credit and net operating loss carry-forward amounts remaining as of December 31, 2018 were $8.9 million and $31.1 million, respectively. These tax credit and net operating loss carry-forward amounts do not begin to expire until 2023 2032 As of December 31, 2019, and 2018, the Company had combined foreign net operating loss carry-forwards available to reduce future taxable income of approximately $154.0 million and $ 121.5 The balance of unrecognized tax benefits included in prepaid expenses in the consolidated balance sheets increased by $2.6 million during the year. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands): 2019 2018 Beginning balance $ 7,975 $ 7,381 Additions for current year tax positions 1,795 1,161 Additions for prior year tax positions 1,638 — Reductions for prior year tax positions — (55 ) Reductions related to lapse of statute of limitations (842 ) (512 ) Ending balance $ 10,566 $ 7,975 If recognized, $10.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits would be recorded as a reduction in income tax expense. Estimated interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes are classified as a component of income tax expense and totaled $0.4 million, $ 0.2 0.5 1.8 The amount of income taxes the Company pays is subject to ongoing audits by taxing jurisdictions around the world. The Company’s estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax position is subject to its assessment of relevant risks, facts, and circumstances existing at that time. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for these matters. However, the Company’s future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to its estimates in the period the audits are resolved, which may impact the Company’s effective tax rate. As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s tax filings are generally subject to examination in the U.S. and most foreign jurisdictions for years ending on or after December 31, 2015 2009 The Company is currently under examination by a number of states and certain foreign jurisdictions. During the year ended December 31, 2019, there was no reduction in the balance of 2019 and prior year unrecognized tax benefits due to settlements of examinations. It is reasonably possible that certain federal, state and foreign examinations could be settled during the next twelve months which would reduce the balance of 2019 and prior year unrecognized tax benefits by $0.9 million.

During 2019, 2018 and 2017, sales to the five largest customers were approximately 9.6%, 10.4% and 10.5%, respectively. The Company’s top five manufacturers produced the following for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively: Percentage of Total Production Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2017 Manufacturer #1 16.0 % 12.8 % 17.9 % Manufacturer #2 7.3 % 10.1 % 11.1 % Manufacturer #3 7.2 % 8.6 % 8.8 % Manufacturer #4 5.1 % 5.4 % 5.4 % Manufacturer #5 5.0 % 5.0 % 4.3 % 40.6 % 41.9 % 47.5 % The majority of the Company’s products are produced in China and Vietnam. The Company’s operations are subject to the customary risks of doing business abroad, including but not limited to currency fluctuations and revaluations, custom duties and related fees, various import controls and other monetary barriers, restrictions on the transfer of funds, labor unrest and strikes and, in certain parts of the world, political instability. The Company believes it has acted to reduce these risks by diversifying manufacturing among various factories. To date, these business risks have not had a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations.

The Company and Summary Of Si_2

The Company and Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2019
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
The Company and Basis of Presentation	(a) The Company and Basis of Presentation Skechers U.S.A., Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) designs, develops, markets and distributes footwear. The Company operates 497 domestic and 303 international retail stores and direct-to-consumer business as of December 31, 2019. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements in prior years to conform to the current year presentation.
Use of Estimates	(b) Use of Estimates The Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates relate primarily to revenue recognition, allowance for bad debts, returns, sales allowances and customer chargebacks, inventory write-downs, valuation of intangibles and long-lived assets, goodwill, litigation reserves and valuation of deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition	(c) Revenue Recognition In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and not as a separate performance obligation. The Company records accounts receivable at the time of shipment when the Company’s right to the consideration becomes unconditional. The Company typically extends credit terms to its wholesale customers based on their creditworthiness and generally does not receive advance payments. Generally, wholesale customers do not have the right to return goods, however, the Company periodically decides to accept returns or provide customers with credits. Allowances for estimated returns, discounts, doubtful accounts and chargebacks are provided for when related revenue is recorded. Retail and direct-to-consumer sales represent amounts due from credit card companies and are generally collected within a few days of the purchase. As such, the Company has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts for retail and direct-to-consumer sales is not necessary. The Company earns royalty income from its licensing arrangements, which qualify as symbolic licenses rather than functional licenses. Upon signing a new licensing agreement, the Company receives up-front fees, which are generally characterized as prepaid royalties. These fees are initially deferred and recognized as revenue is earned (i.e., as licensed sales are reported to the Company or on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement). The Company applies the sales-based royalty exception for the royalty income based on sales and recognizes revenue only when subsequent sales occur. The Company calculates and accrues estimated royalties based on the agreement terms and correspondence with the licensees regarding actual sales. Judgments The Company considered several factors in determining that control transfers to the customer upon shipment of products. These factors include that legal title transfers to the customer, the Company has a present right to payment, and the customer has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership at the time of shipment. The Company accrues a liability for product returns at the time of sale based on historical experience. The Company also accrues amounts for goods expected to be returned in salable condition. As of December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company’s sales returns liability totaled $86.5 million and $67.3 million, respectively, and was included in accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic revenue recognition methodology under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition
Business Combinations	(d) Business Combinations Business acquisitions are accounted for under the acquisition method by assigning the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their fair values and the excess of the purchase price over the amounts assigned is recorded as goodwill. Purchased intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Fair value determinations require judgment and may involve the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, asset lives, and market multiples, among other items. The purchase price allocation is subject to adjustment until the Company has completed its analysis within the measurement period. In the second quarter of 2019, the Company purchased a 60% interest in Manhattan SKMX, de R.L. de C.V. (“Skechers Mexico”), for a total cash consideration of $100.7 million, net of cash acquired. Skechers Mexico is a joint venture that operates and generates sales in Mexico. As a result of this purchase, Skechers Mexico became a majority-owned subsidiary and the results are consolidated in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is in the final process of completing the purchase price allocation, which will be completed by April 1, 2020. However, the finalization may result in changes in the assets acquired and tax-related items. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of the acquisition, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Business Segment Information	( e ) Business Segment Information The Company’s operations and segments are organized along its distribution channels and consist of the following: domestic wholesale, international wholesale, and direct-to-consumer sales. Information regarding these segments is summarized in Note 20 – Segment and Geographic Reporting.
Noncontrolling Interests	( f ) Noncontrolling Interests The Company has equity interests in several joint ventures that were established either to exclusively distribute the Company’s products throughout Mexico, Asia and the Middle East or to construct the Company’s domestic distribution facility. These joint ventures are variable interest entities (“VIE”)’s under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10-15-14. The Company’s determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE considers all relationships between the Company and the VIE, including management agreements, governance documents and other contractual arrangements. The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary for these VIE’s because the Company has both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity, or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. Accordingly, the Company includes the assets and liabilities and results of operations of these entities in its consolidated financial statements, even though the Company may not hold a majority equity interest. There have been no changes during 2019 in the accounting treatment or characterization of any previously identified VIE. The Company continues to reassess these relationships quarterly. The assets of these joint ventures are restricted in that they are not available for general business use outside the context of such joint ventures. The holders of the liabilities of each joint venture have no recourse to the Company. The Company does not have a variable interest in any unconsolidated VIEs.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	( g ) Fair Value of Financial Instruments The accounting standard for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This accounting standard established a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required: • Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s Level 1 non-derivative investments primarily include money market funds and U.S. Treasury securities. • Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Company’s Level 2 non-derivative investments primarily include corporate notes and bonds, asset-backed securities, U.S. Agency securities, and actively traded mutual funds. The Company has one Level 2 derivative which is an interest rate swap related to the refinancing of its domestic distribution center (see below). • Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company currently does not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities. The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments, which principally include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, long-term investments, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of the relatively short maturity of such instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s short-term and long-term borrowings, which are considered Level 2 liabilities, approximates fair value based upon current rates and terms available to the Company for similar debt. As of August 12, 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement concurrent with refinancing its domestic distribution center construction loan (see Note 8 - Derivative Instruments). The fair value of the interest rate swap was determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipt was based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. To comply with U.S. GAAP, credit valuation adjustments were incorporated to appropriately reflect both the Company’s nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. The majority of the inputs used to value the interest rate swap were within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of December 31, 2019, the interest rate swap was a Level 2 derivative and was classified as other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	( h ) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include deposits with initial terms of less than three months. For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Investments	( i ) Investments In general, investments with original maturities of greater than three months and remaining maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term investments. Investments consist of U.S. Treasury Bonds, U.S. Agency securities, corporate notes and bonds, asset-backed securities and actively traded mutual funds.
Allowance for Bad Debts, Returns, Sales Allowances and Customer Chargebacks	( j ) Allowance for Bad Debts, Returns, Sales Allowances and Customer Chargebacks The Company provides a reserve, charged against revenue and its receivables, for estimated losses that may result from its customers’ inability to pay. To minimize the likelihood of uncollectability, customers’ credit-worthiness is reviewed and adjusted periodically in accordance with external credit reporting services, financial statements issued by the customer and the Company’s experience with the account. When a customer’s account becomes significantly past due, the Company generally places a hold on the account and discontinues further shipments to that customer, minimizing further risk of loss. The Company determines the amount of the reserve by analyzing known uncollectible accounts, aged receivables, economic conditions in the customers’ countries or industries, historical losses and its customers’ credit-worthiness. Amounts later determined and specifically identified to be uncollectible are charged against this reserve. Allowance for returns, sales allowances and The Company also reserves for potential disputed amounts or chargebacks from its customers. The Company’s chargeback reserve is based on a collectability percentage calculated using factors such as historical trends, current economic conditions, and nature of the chargeback receivables. The Company also reserves for potential sales returns and allowances based on historical trends. The likelihood of a material loss on an uncollectible account would be mainly dependent on deterioration in the overall economic conditions in a particular country or environment. Reserves are fully provided for all probable losses of this nature. For receivables that are not specifically identified as high-risk, the Company provides a reserve based upon its historical loss rate as a percentage of sales.
Inventories	( k ) Inventories Inventories, principally finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost (based on the first-in, first-out method) or market (net realizable value). Cost includes shipping and handling fees and costs, which are subsequently expensed to cost of sales. The Company provides for estimated losses from obsolete or slow-moving inventories, and writes down the cost of inventory at the time such determinations are made. Reserves are estimated based on inventory on hand, historical sales activity, industry trends, the retail environment, and the expected net realizable value. The net realizable value is determined using estimated sales prices of similar inventory through off-price or discount store channels.
Property, Plant and Equipment	( l ) Property, Plant and Equipment Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method, which based on the following estimated useful lives: Buildings 20 years Building improvements 10 years Furniture, fixtures and equipment 5 to 20 years Leasehold improvements Useful life or remaining lease term, whichever is shorter Property, plant and equipment subject to depreciation and amortization is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The Company reviews both quantitative and qualitative factors to assess whether a triggering event occurred. The Company reviews all stores for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances require it. The Company prepares a summary of store cash flows from its retail stores to assess potential impairment of the fixed assets, leasehold improvements, and operating lease right-of-use assets. Stores with negative cash flows which have been open in excess of 24 months are then reviewed in detail to determine whether impairment exists. Recoverability of assets or asset group to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset or asset group. The Company did not record impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 or 2017.
Goodwill	(m) Goodwill Goodwill is assigned to reporting units. Goodwill is not amortized, but the Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances require it. First, the Company determines if, based on qualitative factors, it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. Factors considered include historical financial performance, macroeconomic and industry conditions and the legal and regulatory environment. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that an impairment exists, then a quantitative assessment is performed. The quantitative assessment involves calculating an estimated fair value of each reporting unit based on projected future cash flows and comparing the estimated fair values of the reporting units to their carrying amounts, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, including goodwill, no impairment is recognized. However, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess, limited to the total goodwill balance of the reporting unit. The quantitative assessment requires an analysis of several best estimates and assumptions, including future sales and operating results, and other factors that could affect fair value or otherwise indicate potential impairment. The Company also considers the reporting units’ projected ability to generate income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods, as well as perceived changes in consumer demand and acceptance of products, or factors impacting the industry generally. The fair value assessment could change materially if different estimates and assumptions were used.
Income Taxes	( n ) Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities for taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry‑forwards using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit or expense is recognized as a result of changes in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all of any deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Foreign Currency Translation	( o ) Foreign Currency Translation In accordance with ASC 830-30,
Comprehensive Income	( p ) Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income is presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income consists of net earnings, foreign currency translation adjustments, and income attributable to non-controlling interests.
Advertising Costs	( q ) Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed in the period in which the advertisements are first run, or over the life of the endorsement contract. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was approximately $297.1 million, $278.4 million and $260.4 million, respectively. Prepaid advertising costs were $6.4 million and $4.4 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Prepaid amounts outstanding at December 31, 2019 and 2018 represent the unamortized portion of endorsement contracts, advertising in trade publications and media productions created, but not run, as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Product Design and Development Costs	( r ) Product Design and Development Costs The Company charges all product design and development costs to general and administrative expenses, when incurred. Product design and development costs aggregated approximately $16.8 million, $18.5 million, and $18.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Warehouse and Distribution Costs	( s ) Warehouse and Distribution Costs The Company’s distribution network-related costs are included in general and administrative expenses and are not allocated to specific segments. The expenses related to its distribution network, including the functions of purchasing, receiving, inspecting, allocating, warehousing and packaging of its products totaled $276.4 million, $249.6 million and $219.6 million for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	( t ) Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02 “ Leases (Topic 842) identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not recognize any adjustment to opening balance of retained earnings.
