Organization, Nature of Operati

Organization, Nature of Operations, and Principles of Consolidation	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2016
Organization, Nature of Operations, and Principles of Consolidation	1. Organization, Nature of Operations, and Principles of Consolidation Gaiam provides a broad selection of yoga, fitness, and wellness products, content, and eco-travel services. Our products are sold through major retailers in the United States, Canada, Europe and other countries. We also sell our products through digital partners, websites and ecommerce channels. Gaia, our global subscription video streaming service, provides our members with access to conscious media on most internet-connected devices anytime, anywhere commercial free. We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on July 7, 1988. We have prepared the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and they include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods disclosed in this report are not necessarily indicative of future financial results. Use of Estimates and Reclassifications The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements and disclosures. Although we base these estimates on our best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates. We have made certain reclassifications to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-17, Income Taxes - Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments under the new guidance require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The guidance is effective for consolidated financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The new ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our reported financial position or results of operations.

Spin-off of Gaia

Spin-off of Gaia	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2016
Spin-off of Gaia	2. Spin-off of Gaia On February 20, 2015, our wholly-owned subsidiary Gaia, Inc. (“Gaia”) filed a registration statement on Form 10 with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the previously announced proposed separation of the Gaia segment from the Gaiam Brand segment into two separate publicly traded companies. Gaia filed an amended Form 10 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 2015, September 9, 2015 and February 17, 2016. Gaia has filed a listing application with NASDAQ and is in the process of listing on NASDAQ in anticipation of the spin-off. As of March 31, 2016, we expected that the proposed tax-free spin-off would occur through a distribution to Gaiam, Inc.’s shareholders of all the stock of Gaia. Gaia would hold all of the assets and liabilities of the Gaia segment. The Gaiam Brand segment would remain with Gaiam, Inc. after the distribution. The completion of the separation is subject to satisfaction of several conditions. Furthermore, our board of directors has the right and ability, in its sole discretion, to abandon the proposed separation at any time before the distribution date. As a result, there can be no assurance that the separation will occur. In connection with the proposed spin-off, Gaia anticipated entering into a reorganization agreement with Gaiam, Inc. to provide for, among other things, the principal corporate transactions required to effect the spin-off, certain conditions to the spin-off and provisions governing the relationship between Gaia and Gaiam, Inc. with respect to and resulting from the spin-off. The reorganization agreement would also provide that the holders of options to purchase Gaiam, Inc. Class A common stock who are employees or non-employee directors of Gaiam, Inc. on the record date for the distribution would receive options to purchase shares of Gaia’s Class A common stock in the same ratio as shareholders. Additionally there would be a corresponding adjustment to the existing Gaiam, Inc. options held by such holder. The spin-off would not constitute a change in control for purposes of Gaiam, Inc.’s equity plans, and therefore no vesting of awards would occur as a result of the spin-off. In addition, the reorganization agreement would address the treatment of the various insurance policies held by Gaiam, Inc. and Gaia after the spin-off. In anticipation of the spin-off, Gaia has entered into multiple license agreements with Gaiam, Inc. including a license agreement for the use of the “Gaiam” trade name, and related trademarks and service marks following the spin-off. Providing the spin-off is completed, Gaia anticipates entering into a transition services agreement with Gaiam, Inc. in connection with the separation. Under the transition services agreement, Gaiam, Inc. and Gaia would agree to provide certain services to the other for a period of up to 24 months following the spin-off, or such other shorter period as may be provided in the transition services agreement. The services to be provided may include certain corporate services including, but not limited to, management, financial, accounting, tax, human resources, payroll, technical, fulfillment, software quality control, and certain office services as required from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Charges for these services would be based on the actual cost of such services without premium or mark-up, although applicable administrative and other overhead costs associated with the services would be allocated and included in the service charge. The employees of Gaia would remain eligible employees under certain employee benefit plans currently maintained by Gaiam, Inc., which would be managed under the transition services agreement. Effective January 1, 2015, Gaiam, Inc. contributed to Gaia its 100% membership interest in Boulder Road LLC, a Colorado limited liability company. Boulder Road LLC is the sole owner of the property located at 833 West South Boulder Road in Louisville, Colorado, which is the location for our operations and the principal executive offices of Gaiam, Inc., Gaia and various other companies. The Gaiam, Inc. business unit and the Gaia business unit have entered into lease agreements with Boulder Road LLC effective with the contribution. The intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Joint Venture

Joint Venture	3 Months Ended

Joint Venture	3. Joint Venture In 2015 the Company formed a partnership with a third party to jointly market a fitness-based infomercial and its associated products. Under the arrangement, the Company provides rights to an infomercial which it has developed, and the third party provides the necessary working capital to advertise and market the infomercial worldwide. We hold a 49% interest in the partnership, and are accounting for it as an equity method investment. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recognized a non-cash

Credit Facility	4. Credit Facility In 2015 Boulder Road LLC, a subsidiary of Gaia, entered into a revolving line of credit agreement with a bank in the amount of $5.5 million. The note bears interest at the prime rate plus 3.25%, is guaranteed by Gaiam, Inc. and Gaia, and is secured by a Deed of Trust filed against the real property on which the principal offices of the Company are located. The value of our principal offices is in excess of the amount of the line of credit. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, Gaia drew and repaid $2.0 million on the line of credit. No amounts were outstanding under the line of credit as of March 31, 2016.

Derivatives

Derivatives	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2016
Derivatives	5. Derivatives Our operations in foreign countries expose us to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and various foreign currencies. We use derivative instruments to manage a portion of our exposure to changes in currency exchange rates due to payments made by our eco-travel subsidiary to tour operators in Canada, South Africa, Australia, Europe, Denmark, and New Zealand. Our primary objective for entering into currency derivatives is to reduce the volatility that changes in currency exchange rates have on our earnings. In general, the market risk related to these contracts is offset by corresponding gains and losses on the hedged transactions. By working only with major banks and closely monitoring current market conditions, we seek to limit the risk that counterparties to these contracts may be unable to perform. We have presented amounts on a gross basis as we do not have any master netting agreements with counterparties. We do have the legal right to “net settle” transactions of the same currency with a single net amount payable by one party or the other. We do not enter into derivative contracts for trading purposes. The cash flow effects of our derivative contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are included within Net cash provided by operating activities in the Statements of Cash Flows. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on currency derivatives without hedge accounting designation are included in Interest and other (expense) income, net in the accompanying statements of operations. For the period ended March 31, 2016 the gain recognized was $0.9 million. The asset related to the fair value of the hedging instruments has been included in Other current assets in the accompanying balance sheet. Total notional amounts and gross fair values for derivative instruments without hedge accounting designation were as follows as of March 31, 2016: March 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 (in thousands) Notional Fair Value Notional Fair Value of Currency forward contracts Canadian dollars $ 10,701 $ 309 $ 4,200 $ (246 ) Other currencies 1,435 44 1,372 (83 ) $ 12,136 $ 353 5,572 (329 ) Currency option contracts Canadian dollars — — 8,514 (252 ) Total $ 12,136 $ 353 $ 14,086 $ (581 ) As of March 31, 2016, $9.0 million of our outstanding contracts will mature in the next 12 months, and $3.1 million will mature the following year.

Equity

Equity	6. Equity During the first three months of 2016, we issued 11,000 shares of our Class A common stock under our 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan to our independent directors, in lieu of cash compensation, for services rendered in 2016. We valued the shares issued to our independent directors at estimated fair value based on the closing price of our shares on the date the shares were issued, which by policy is the last trading day of each quarter in which the services were rendered. During the first three months of 2016, we did not issue any stock in connection with option exercises. The following is a reconciliation from December 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016 of the carrying amount of total equity, equity attributable to Gaiam, Inc., and equity attributable to the noncontrolling interest.

Net Loss Per Share Attributable To Gaiam, Inc. Common Shareholders	8. Net Loss per Share Attributable To Gaiam, Inc. Common Shareholders Basic net loss per share attributable to Gaiam, Inc. common shareholders excludes any dilutive effects of options. We compute basic net loss per share attributable to Gaiam, Inc. common shareholders using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. We compute diluted net loss per share attributable to Gaiam, Inc. common shareholders using the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. We excluded common stock equivalents of 1,071,000 and 1,088,000 from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to Gaiam, Inc. common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, because their effect was antidilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to Gaiam, Inc. common shareholders: Three Months Ended (in thousands, except per share data) 2016 2015 Net loss attributable to Gaiam, Inc. common shareholders: Loss from continuing operations $ (7,624 ) $ (3,426 ) Loss from discontinued operations — (466 ) Net loss attributable to Gaiam, Inc. $ (7,624 ) $ (3,892 ) Weighted average shares for basic and diluted net loss per share 24,531 24,490 Net loss per share attributable to Gaiam, Inc. common shareholders—basic and diluted: Loss from continuing operations $ (0.31 ) $ (0.14 ) Loss from discontinued operations $ — $ (0.02 ) Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to Gaiam, Inc. $ (0.31 ) $ (0.16 )

Income Taxes

Income Taxes	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2016
Income Taxes	9. Income Taxes During 2013, we determined that a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets was necessary due to the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended December 31, 2013. Since that time, we have continued to provide a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. As income is generated in future periods, the Company expects to reverse the valuation allowance as utilization of the deferred tax assets occurs. As of March 31, 2016, our gross net operating losses were $86.3 million and $16.4 million for federal and state, respectively.

Segment Information

Segment Information	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2016
Segment Information	10. Segment Information We manage our company and aggregate our operational and financial information in accordance with two reportable segments, which are aligned based on their products or services: Gaiam Brand: This segment includes all our branded yoga, fitness, and wellness products. It also includes our eco-travel subsidiary. Gaia: This segment includes our digital video streaming service. It also includes the results of Boulder Road LLC. We previously announced that we are pursuing the potential spin off of this segment into a separate company. Amounts shown as “Other unallocated corporate expenses” in the table below are primarily expenses of being a public company or general corporate expenses which we do not allocate to our segments. Although we are able to track sales by channel, the management, allocation of resources, and analysis and reporting of expenses are presented on a combined basis, at the reportable segment level. Contribution margin is defined as net revenue less cost of goods sold and total operating expenses. Financial information for our segments is as follows: Three Months Ended (in thousands) 2016 2015 Net revenue: Gaiam Brand $ 31,497 $ 34,532 Gaia 3,830 3,106 Consolidated net revenue 35,327 37,638 Contribution loss: Gaiam Brand (3,468 ) (53 ) Gaia (3,449 ) (2,359 ) Segment contribution loss (6,917 ) (2,412 ) Other unallocated corporate expenses (1,286 ) (473 ) Consolidated contribution loss (8,203 ) (2,885 ) Reconciliation of contribution loss to net loss attributable to Gaiam, Inc.: Interest and other income (expense), net 509 (484 ) Income tax benefit (expense) 9 (49 ) Loss from discontinued operations — (466 ) Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interest 61 (8 ) Net loss attributable to Gaiam, Inc. $ (7,624 ) $ (3,892 ) As discussed in Note 2, Gaia filed amendments to its registration statement on Form 10 with the SEC on September 9, 2015 and February 17, 2016. The segment amounts presented here and discussed elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q vary insignificantly from the amounts reported by Gaia in the Form 10, as amended, as the Form 10 requires that certain items be recast for stand-alone presentation.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2016
Commitments and Contingencies	11. Commitments and Contingencies During 2015, we were involved in various legal disputes with Cinedigm Corp. and Cinedigm Entertainment Holdings, LLC (together, “Cinedigm”) in connection with our sale of GVE Newco, LLC (“GVE”) to Cinedigm. The disputes were fully settled at the end of 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded charges of $0.5 million for legal costs associated with the disputes. The expenses associated with the disputes have all been included in Loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings that we consider to be in the normal course of business. Claimed amounts against us may be substantial but may not bear any reasonable relationship to the merits of the claim or the extent of any real risk of court or arbitral awards. We record accruals for losses related to those matters against us that we consider to be probable and that can be reasonably estimated. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters with certainty, it is reasonably possible that some legal proceedings may be disposed of or decided unfavorably to us and in excess of the amounts currently accrued. Based on available information, in the opinion of management, settlements, arbitration awards and final judgments, if any, which are considered probable of being rendered against us in litigation or arbitration in existence at March 31, 2016 and can be reasonably estimated are reserved against or would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued Operations	3 Months Ended

Discontinued Operations	12. Discontinued Operations During 2013, we consummated the sale of GVE, a wholly-owned subsidiary to Cinedigm. As discussed in Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, we were involved in legal disputes with Cinedigm associated with the sale, which were settled during 2015. The results of discontinued operations reported in the accompanying financial statements relate solely to legal costs associated with the disputes.

The balance in the accrual for termination benefits remained at $1.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent Events	14. Subsequent Events Pending Sale of the Brand Business On May 10, 2016 we entered into agreements to sell the assets and liabilities of our Gaiam Brand Business in exchange for $167.0 million. The Brand Business consists of all the assets and liabilities of our Gaiam Brand segment, except for our interest in our eco-travel subsidiary, which was sold on May 4, 2016 as explained below. Our Gaiam Brand Business constitutes the vast majority of our consolidated revenues and expenses, and consists of our yoga, fitness and wellness consumer products, and content. If the sale of the Brand Business is consummated, our remaining business will consist of our Gaia video subscription service business and on-line community and will operate in our Gaia segment. Upon closing the sale of the Brand Business, we expect to conduct a tender offer for up to 12 million shares of our Class A common stock and vested stock options. The sale of our Brand Business is planned to occur after the period covered by this report. Therefore, the information in this report should be read in light of the pending sale of our Brand Business. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully consummate the sale of our Brand Business. Sale of Natural Habitat On May 4, 2016 we sold all our interest in Natural Habitat, Inc. (“Natural Habitat”), our eco-travel subsidiary, in exchange for $12.85 million in cash. The following pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is based on our historical financial statements, including certain pro forma adjustments, and has been prepared to illustrate the pro forma effect of the sale of Natural Habitat. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the quarter ending March 31, 2016 and for the year ending December 31, 2015 assume that the sale occurred as of January 1, 2015.

Use of Estimates and Reclassifications	Use of Estimates and Reclassifications The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements and disclosures. Although we base these estimates on our best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates. We have made certain reclassifications to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-17, Income Taxes - Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments under the new guidance require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The guidance is effective for consolidated financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The new ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our reported financial position or results of operations.
