•
|
The calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding no longer includes excess tax benefits as assumed proceeds, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s calculation of diluted earnings per share.
|
•
|
Excess tax benefits and deficiencies were recorded as income tax benefits or expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the
three and six months ended September 30, 2017
, rather than to additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for settlements of share-based payment awards occurring on or after April 1, 2017. The Company's income tax benefit or expense will continue to be impacted by fluctuations in the stock price between grant and vesting dates of its share-based payment awards.
|
•
|
A cumulative adjustment to retained earnings and non-current deferred tax assets for unrecognized excess tax benefits of
$1,365
was recognized on April 1, 2017 in the condensed consolidated balance sheet
as of September 30, 2017
.
|
•
|
The Company has made current and prior period reclassifications in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows to present cash flows from excess tax benefits as cash flows provided by operating activities instead of the historical presentation as cash flows provided by financing activities.
|
•
|
The Company elected to continue to estimate forfeitures as a component of determining grant date fair value.

Sales of our products are highly seasonal and are sensitive to weather conditions, which are beyond our control. Even though we continue to expand our product lines and create more year-round styles for our brands, the effect of favorable or unfavorable weather on our aggregate sales and operating results may continue to be significant.
|
•
|
We believe there has been a meaningful shift in the way consumers shop for products and make purchasing decisions. In particular, brick and mortar retail stores are experiencing significant and prolonged decreases in consumer traffic as customers continue to migrate to shopping online. This shift is impacting the performance of both our DTC business and of our wholesale customers.
|
•
|
In light of the shift in consumer shopping behavior, we are seeking to optimize our brick and mortar retail footprint. In connection with store closures, we have been impacted by costs to exit lease agreements, employee termination costs, retail store fixed asset impairments and other closure costs. We expect this trend to continue as we further evaluate and optimize our retail fleet.
|
•
|
We expect that our E-Commerce business will be a driver of long-term growth, although we expect that the year-over-year growth rate will decline over time as the size of our E-Commerce business increases.
|
•
|
We believe that the continued enhancement of our Omni-Channel capabilities will enable us to increasingly engage existing and prospective consumers in a more connected environment and expose them to our brands. In particular, we are working towards a segmented channel and product distribution approach with the goal of continuing to reduce the number of distribution points within the domestic markets to allow us to elevate distribution among select customers, and enhancing our distribution footprint with the European and Asian markets, including through the use of partner retail stores in China.
|
•
|
We believe consumers are buying product closer to the particular wearing occasion (buy now, wear now), which tends to shorten the purchasing windows for weather-dependent product. Not only does this trend impact our DTC business, we believe it is also impacting the purchasing behavior of our large wholesale customers. In particular, these customers appear to be shortening their purchasing windows as a way to address the evolving behavior of retail consumers and to manage their own product inventory.
|
•
|
Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations have significantly increased the value of the US dollar compared to most major foreign currencies over the past couple of years. While we seek to hedge some of the risks associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, these changes are largely outside of our control. We expect these changes will continue to impact the demand for our products and our operating results.
|
•
|
High consumer brand loyalty, due to delivering quality and luxuriously comfortable UGG footwear.
|
•
|
Evolution of our Classics business through the introduction of products such as the Classic Slim, the Classic Luxe, the Classic Street, and the Classic II.
|
•
|
Diversification of our UGG product lines, including women's spring and summer, men's, and lifestyle offerings. We believe that the evolution of the UGG brand and our strategy of product diversification will help decrease our reliance on sheepskin and mitigate the impacts of seasonality.
|
•
|
Continued enhancement of our Omni-Channel and digital capabilities to enable us to better engage existing and prospective consumers and expose them to our brands.

|
(b)

|
(c)
|
As of the end of each business day, each of the Participant’s notional investment subaccounts shall be credited with earnings (gains or losses) in an amount equal to that determined by multiplying the balance credited to such notional investment subaccount as of the prior day plus amounts allocated to the notional investment subaccount that day by the rate of net gain or loss for the corresponding investment fund for that day.

The Participant may specify the deemed investment, in whole percentage increments or specific dollar amounts, in one or more of the investment funds as communicated from time to time by the Plan Administrator. Participants may change their investment designations on a daily basis, both with respect to reallocations of their current Account Balance and allocations of future Deferral Amounts, by electing such investment changes through such procedures as may be specified by the Plan Administrator. If the Company establishes a Trust pursuant to Section 12.1 or otherwise sets aside assets to assist in meeting its obligations under the Plan, the Company shall not be obligated to mirror the Participant’s notional investment subaccount elections.
|
(c)
|
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan that may be interpreted to the contrary, the investment funds selected by the Company or designation of investment funds by a Participant shall not be considered or construed in any manner as an actual investment of the Participant’s Account Balance in any such investment fund. In the event that the Company or the trustee of the Trust shall invest funds in any or all of the selected investment funds, no Participant shall have any rights in or to such investments. Without limiting the foregoing, a Participant’s Account Balance shall at all times be a bookkeeping (notional) entry only and shall not represent any investment made on his or her behalf by the Company, the Participant’s Employer or the Trust; the Participant shall remain at all times an unsecured creditor of the Company.

Company Contribution Amounts are not available for distribution on account of Unforeseeable Emergencies. Any distribution on account of Unforeseeable Emergencies will be made starting with Deferral Amounts attributable to the most recently completed Class Year’s In-Service Accounts, if any (on a prorata basis from all such accounts, if more than one In-Service Account was established for the Class Year), and progressing to each preceding Class Year as necessary. The Retirement Accounts (excluding Company Contribution Amounts and investment returns attributable thereto) will be used only upon exhausting all completed prior Class Year In-Service Accounts.

Change in Control.
Upon a Change in Control, a Participant’s full Account Balance, including both vested and unvested amounts, will be paid in a lump sum as soon as possible following the effective date of the Change in Control, but in no event later than the later of (i) the end of the calendar year that includes the effective date of the Change in Control and (ii) the fifteen (15

For Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 2016, a Participant, in connection with his or her commencement of participation in the Plan and each subsequent Plan Year shall elect on the Deferral Election form the form of payment with respect to that Class Year’s Deferral Amount. The Participant may elect to receive payment in the form of a lump sum or pursuant to an Annual Installment Method not to exceed ten (10) years or, effective as of January 1, 2014, fifteen (15) years. Thus, separate Retirement Benefit distribution elections may apply to each Class Year, but the Participant must make the same Distribution Election for the Base Salary and Bonus Deferral Elections made on the Deferral Election form.
|
(b)
|
For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2016, a Participant, in connection with his or her commencement of participation in the Plan or as needed subsequent to such date, shall elect on the Deferral Election form the form of payment with respect to all Deferral Amounts for all such Plan Years (other than Deferral Amounts credited to In-Service Accounts, for which form of payment elections may still be made on a Class Year basis). The Participant may elect to receive payment in the form of a lump sum or pursuant to an Annual Installment Method not to exceed ten (10) years or, effective as of January 1, 2014, fifteen (15) years.

|
(c)

Any Company Contribution Amount credited to the Participant’s Retirement Account for a Class Year beginning prior to January 1, 2016, or for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2016, shall be paid in the same manner as elected by the Participant for the Retirement Account established for that Class Year or for those Plan Years, as applicable.
|
(d)
|
If a Participant does not make any election with respect to the payment of the Retirement Benefit, or if the Participant does not elect to allocate a Deferral Amount into the Retirement Account for a Class Year beginning prior to January 1, 2016 or for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2016 but is credited with a Company Contribution Amount for that Class Year or for those Plan Years, as

5.2
|
Termination Benefit
. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 5, a Participant who experiences a Termination of Employment prior to Retirement shall receive as a Termination Benefit the vested portion of his or her Account Balance in accordance with the same election made under Section 5.1, and the unvested portion of his or her Account Balance shall be forfeited. The lump sum payment shall be made, or installment payments shall commence, within sixty (60) days of Termination of Employment, provided that the Participant may not directly or indirectly designate the taxable year of payment.
|
5.3
|
Death Prior to Retirement or Termination of Employment
.
If a Participant dies prior to Retirement or Termination of Employment, the Participant’s Beneficiaries shall receive a lump sum payment equal to the Participant’s then-remaining Account Balance, incuding both vested and unvested amounts and including any installment payments that have yet to be distributed. The payment shall be made as soon as practicable after certification of death but in no event later than the later of (i) the end of the calendar year that includes the date of death and (ii) the fifteenth (15
th
) day of the third month following the date of death, provided that the Beneficiary may not directly or indirectly designate the taxable year of payment.
|

th
) day of the third month following the date of death, provided that the Beneficiary may not directly or indirectly designate the taxable year of payment.
|
5.5
|
Disability Benefit
. A Participant who incurs a Disability shall, for benefit purposes under the Plan, be deemed to have experienced a Termination of Employment as of the date the Disability is incurred. The Disability Benefit shall consist of the Participant’s full Account Balance, including both vested and unvested amounts, and shall be paid in the same form as elected in accordance with Section 5.1. The lump sum payment shall be made, or installment payments shall commence within sixty (60) days after the date the Participant incurs the Disability, provided that the Participant may not directly or indirectly designate the taxable year of payment.
|
5.6
|
Change in Time or Form of Payment for Termination Benefit
. Notwithstanding the method of payment elected by a Participant with respect to the Base Salary or Bonus Deferral Amounts, the Participant may elect to change the method of such payment under a subsequent election that meets the following requirements:
|
(a)
|
The subsequent election may not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the subsequent election is made.
|
(b)
|
The subsequent election is made not less than twelve (12) months prior to the date of the scheduled payment.
|
(c)
|
The first payment with respect to which the subsequent election is made must be deferred for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date such payment would otherwise have been made. This five (5)-year deferral shall not apply to any change in the benefits payable upon death pursuant to Section 5.3 or 5.4, as applicable, or upon the occurrence of a Disability.
|
(d)
|
The subsequent election may not accelerate the time of any payment.
|
5.7
|
Limitation on Key Employees
. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the payment of a Retirement Benefit or Termination Benefit with respect to a “specified employee,” as defined in, and determined in accordance with, Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i), of the Affiliated Group shall not be made (or, in the case of payments to be made under an Annual Installment Method, shall not commence) until the six month anniversary of the Participant’s Retirement or Termination of Employment, or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death, if at that time any stock of the Company is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise. Any installment payments that are delayed pursuant to this provision shall be accumulated and paid on the delayed payment date.
|
5.8
|
Involuntary Cash Out Limit.
If the sum of the Participant’s total Account Balance that is payable under this Article 5 and the deferred compensation amounts under all other such arrangements required to be aggregated with the Plan under Code Section 409A is less than or equal to the deferral limit in effect under Code Section 402(g) for the calendar year in which the Participant experiences a Retirement or Termination of Employment, then, despite the election made by the Participant, the Company may pay such Account Balance in a lump sum as soon as practicable following such Retirement or Termination of Employment. In addition, if the present value of any remaining installments due a Participant who has experienced a Termination of Employment and elected an Annual Installment Method falls below the deferral limit in effect under Code Section 402(g) for the calendar year in which the Participant experienced a Termination of Employment, then the Company m
|
6.1
|
Beneficiary
. Each Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate his or her Beneficiary(ies) (both primary as well as contingent) to receive any benefits payable under the Plan upon the death of a Participant. The Beneficiary designated under the Plan may be the same as or different from the Beneficiary designation under any other Company or Employer plan in which the Participant participates.
|
6.2
|
Beneficiary Designation Change
. A Participant shall designate his or her Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary Designation Form, and returning it to the Plan Administrator. A Participant shall have the right to change a Beneficiary by completing, signing and otherwise complying with the terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form and the Plan Administrator’s rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time. Upon the acceptance by the Plan Administrator of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations previously filed shall be canceled. The Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the Participant and accepted by the Plan Administrator prior to his or her death. If a Participant is married, the designation of a Beneficiary other than the Participant’s spouse shall only be permitted upon written consent of the Participant’s spouse.
|
6.3
|
Acknowledgment
. No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary shall be effective until received and acknowledged in writing by the Plan Administrator.
|
6.4
|
No Beneficiary Designation
. If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided in Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 above or, if all Beneficiaries predecease the Participant or die prior to complete distribution of the Participant’s benefits, then the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be deemed to be his or her surviving spouse. If the Participant has no surviving spouse, the benefits remaining under the Plan to be paid to a Beneficiary shall be payable to the Participant’s estate.
|
6.5
|
Doubt as to Beneficiary
. If the Plan Administrator has any doubt as to the proper Beneficiary to receive payments pursuant to the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall have the right to cause the Company to withhold such payments until this matter is resolved to the Plan Administrator’s satisfaction.
|
6.6
|
Discharge of Obligations
. The payment of benefits under the Plan to a Beneficiary shall fully and completely discharge the Employer, the Company, the Plan Administrator and the Board from all further obligations under the Plan with respect to the Participant, and that Participant’s participation in the Plan shall terminate upon such full payment of benefits.
|
7.1
|
Paid Leave of Absence
. If a Participant is authorized by the Employer for any reason to take a paid leave of absence from the employment of the Employer, the Participant shall continue to be considered employed by the Employer and the Deferral Amount shall continue to be withheld during such paid leave of absence in accordance with Section 3.1.
|
7.2
|
Unpaid Leave of Absence
. If a Participant is authorized by the Employer for any reason to take an unpaid leave of absence from the employment of the Employer, the Participant shall continue to be considered employed by the Employer and the Participant shall be excused from making deferrals until the Participant returns to a paid employment status. Upon such return, deferrals shall resume for the remaining portion of the Plan Year in which the return occurs, based on the Deferral Election, if any, made for that Plan Year. If no Deferral Election was made for that Plan Year, no deferral shall be withheld.
|
8.1
|
Termination
. Although the Company anticipates that it will continue the Plan for an indefinite period of time, there is no guarantee that the Company will continue the Plan or will not terminate the Plan at any time in the future. Accordingly, the Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time with respect to any or all Participants, by action of the Board or its authorized delegate. Upon the termination of the Plan, further deferrals under the Plan shall terminate but all Account Balances shall remain subject to the terms of the Plan and the distribution elections made in the applicable Deferral Election forms.
|
(a)
|
The termination and liquidation does not occur as a result of downturn in the financial health of the Company;
|
(b)
|
The Company terminates and liquidates all similar arrangements sponsored by a member of the Affiliated Group that would be aggregated with any other arrangements under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(c) if the Participants had deferrals of compensation under all of the arrangements that are terminated;
|
(c)
|
No payments under the Plan are made within twelve (12) months of the date the Company takes all necessary action to irrevocably terminate and liquidate the Plan other than payments that would be payable under the terms of the Plan if the action to terminate and liquidate the plan had not occurred;
|
(d)
|
All payments are made within twenty-four (24) months of the date the Company takes all necessary action to irrevocably terminate and liquidate the Plan; and
|
(e)
|
No member of the Affiliated Group adopts a new plan that would be aggregated with any terminated and liquidated plan under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(c) if the same Participant participated in both plans, at any time within three years following the date the Company takes all necessary action to irrevocably terminate and liquidate the Plan.
|
8.2
|
Amendment
. The Company may, at any time, amend or modify the Plan in whole or in part by the action of the Board or its authorized delegate; provided, however, that: (i) no amendment or modification shall be effective to decrease or restrict the value of a Participant’s Account Balance in existence at the time the amendment or modification is made, calculated as if the Participant had experienced a Termination of Employment as of the effective date of the amendment or modification, and (ii) no amendment or modification of this Section 8.2 of the Plan shall be effective. The amendment or modification of the Plan shall not affect any Participant or Beneficiary who has become entitled to the payment of benefits under the Plan as of the date of the amendment or modification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company specifically reserves the right to amend the Plan to conform the provisions of the Plan to the guidance issued by the Secretary of the Treasury with respect to Code Section 409A, in accordance with such guidance.
|
8.3
|
Effect of Payment

|
13.3

|
13.5
|

|
13.6
|

|
13.13
|
Validity

|

|
