DECKERS OUTDOOR CORPORATION

AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(amounts in thousands, except share quantity and per share data)

 

(1)                       General

 

(a)           Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation for each of the periods presented.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be achieved for full fiscal years.  Deckers Outdoor Corporation strives to be a premier lifestyle marketer that builds niche brands into global market leaders by designing and marketing innovative, functional and fashion-oriented footwear and accessories, developed for both high performance outdoor activities and everyday casual lifestyle use.  The Company’s business is seasonal, with the highest percentage of UGG® brand net sales occurring in the third and fourth quarters and the highest percentage of Teva® brand net sales occurring in the first and second quarters of each year. The other brands do not have a significant seasonal impact on the Company.  The Company owns 51% of a joint venture with an affiliate of Stella International Holdings Limited (Stella International) for the primary purpose of opening and operating retail stores for the UGG brand in China.  Stella International is also one of the Company’s major manufacturers in China.  In March 2009, the Company acquired 100% of the ownership interest of Ahnu, Inc., an outdoor performance and lifestyle footwear brand.  In January 2010, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities, including reacquisition of its distribution rights, from its Teva distributor that sold to retailers in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxemburg (Benelux) as well as France.

 

As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes have been condensed and do not contain certain information that will be included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

 

On May 28, 2010, the Company announced that the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a three-for-one stock split to be effected in the form of a stock dividend.  Each stockholder of record received two additional shares of common stock for each share held on June 17, 2010, that was paid on July 2, 2010.  All share and related information presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements and notes reflect the increased number of shares resulting from this stock split for all periods presented.

 

(b)          Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to inventory reserves, accounts receivable reserves, returns liabilities, stock compensation, impairment assessments, depreciation and amortization, income tax liabilities and uncertain tax positions, fair value of financial instruments, and fair values of acquired intangibles, assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

 

(c)           Reclassifications

 

Certain items in the prior year’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

 

(2)                       Stockholders’ Equity

 

In June 2009, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $50,000 of the Company’s common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors.  The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and the program may be suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion.  The purchases will be funded from available working capital.  Prior to the stock split, the Company repurchased shares that were retired; the repurchased shares and repurchase price were not affected by the stock split.  During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the

Company repurchased 20,000 shares for approximately $2,600, or an average price of $129.16 per share, under this program.  As of June 30, 2010, the remaining approved amount for repurchases was approximately $27,400.

 

In May 2010, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to 125,000,000 shares.

(3)                       Comprehensive Income

 

Comprehensive income is the total of net income and all other non-owner changes in equity. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income of $(563) and $494, respectively, consisted of unrealized gains and losses on short-term investments and cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

(4)                       Net Income per Share Attributable to Deckers Outdoor Corporation Common Stockholders

 

Basic net income per share represents net income attributable to Deckers Outdoor Corporation divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted net income per share represents net income attributable to Deckers Outdoor Corporation divided by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding, including the dilutive impact of potential issuances of common stock.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the difference between the weighted-average number of basic and diluted common shares resulted from the dilutive impact of nonvested stock units (NSUs) and options to purchase common stock.

 

The reconciliations of basic to diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were as follows:

The Company excluded all of its stock appreciations rights (SARs) and restricted stock units (RSUs) from the diluted net income per share computation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The shares were excluded because the necessary conditions had not been satisfied for the shares to be issuable based on the Company’s performance through June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

In January 2007, the Company entered into an escrow agreement initiated in conjunction with the Company’s purchase obligation with a movie production company for advertising services.  As a result of the agreement, during the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company paid $300 of the purchase obligation and had $400 of restricted cash related to this obligation remaining as of June 30, 2010.  Of the total restricted cash related to this obligation, $200 is short-term and is included as a current asset, and the remaining $200 is long-term and is included as a noncurrent asset in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2010.  The agreement contains a disbursement schedule according to when the remaining funds will be disbursed to the production company, which is as follows:

(6)                       Fair Value Measurements

 

The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses, and income taxes payable approximate the carrying values due to the relatively short maturities of these instruments.  The fair values of the Company’s long-term liabilities, if recalculated based on current interest rates, would not significantly differ from the recorded amounts.

 

The inputs used in measuring fair value are prioritized into the following hierarchy:

 

·                   Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

·                   Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable.

·                   Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

 

The Company has established a nonqualified deferred compensation program with an effective date of February 1, 2010 (referred to as “the Plan”).  The Plan permits a select group of management employees, designated by the Plan Committee, to defer earnings to a future date on a nonqualified basis.  For each plan year, the Board may, but is not required to, contribute any amount it desires to any participant under the Plan. The Company’s contribution will be determined by the Board annually in the fourth quarter. No such contribution has been approved as of June 30, 2010.  All amounts deferred under this plan are presented in long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.  The value of the deferred compensation is recognized based on the fair value of the participants’ accounts based on Level 1 inputs.  The Company has established a trust as a reserve for the benefits payable under the Plan.  The amounts deferred and the assets in trust related to the Plan were immaterial as of June 30, 2010.

Short-term investments are classified as available for sale and are reported at fair value, with any unrealized gains and losses included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Interest and dividends are included in interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of income.  The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.  Securities with original maturities of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents. Those that mature over three months from their original date and in less than one year are classified as short-term investments, as the funds are used for working capital requirements. The fair values of the Company’s short-term investments are shown in the table below and were determined based on Level 1 inputs.  The Company had no short-term investments at June 30, 2010.

(7)                       Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts and Hedging

 

The Company records the assets or liabilities associated with derivative instruments and hedging activities at fair value based on Level 2 inputs in other current assets or other current liabilities, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The accounting for gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value depends on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting.

 

The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies and has international sales and expenses denominated in foreign currencies, subjecting the Company to foreign currency risk. The Company may enter into foreign currency forward or option contracts, generally with maturities of 12 months or less, to reduce the volatility of cash flows primarily related to forecasted revenue denominated in certain foreign currencies.  In addition, the Company utilizes foreign exchange forward or option contracts to mitigate foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, primarily intercompany balances.  The Company does not use foreign currency contracts for speculative or trading purposes.

 

Some foreign exchange forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for financial accounting purposes. Accordingly, any gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of the non-designated forward contracts are reported in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The gains and losses on these forward contracts generally offset the gains and losses associated with the underlying foreign currency-denominated balances, which are also reported in selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had no derivatives that were designated as accounting hedges, and gains and losses on the Company’s non-designated forward contracts were not significant.

 

(8)                       Credit Agreement

 

In May 2010, the Company and its subsidiary, TSUBO, LLC, entered into the Second Amendment and Restated Credit Agreement with Comerica Bank (the “Credit Agreement”).  The Credit Agreement provides for a maximum availability of $20,000.  Up to $12,500 of borrowings may be in the form of letters of credit.  Amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the lender’s prime rate or, at the Company’s option, at the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus 1.0%, and is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.  The Credit Agreement includes annual commitment fees of $60 per year, which can be waived if the Company deposits $10,000 in non-interest bearing new deposits with Comerica Bank; provided that such deposits may be removed by the Company at any time, subject to paying a pro-rated annual commitment fee.  The Credit Agreement expires on June 1, 2012.  At June 30, 2010, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the

(amounts in thousands, except share quantity and per share data)

 

Credit Agreement and outstanding letters of credit of $941.  As a result, $19,059 was available under the Credit Agreement at June 30, 2010.

 

The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants.  The covenants currently include a maximum additional debt of $20,000, maximum asset sales of $5,000, maximum loans to employees of $200, and maximum loans to subsidiaries who are not parties to the Credit Agreement of $25,000. The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants if the outstanding obligations exceed $2,000, including a minimum tangible net worth requirement of $294,891 commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 plus 75% of consolidated net profit on a cumulative basis, no consolidated net loss for two or more consecutive fiscal quarters and maximum acquisitions of $25,000.

 

(9)                       Business Segments, Concentration of Business, and Credit Risk and Significant Customers

 

In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, as part of a refinement of its business strategy, the Company incorporated its Simple wholesale reportable segment into the other wholesale reportable segment.  None of the brands included in the other wholesale reportable segment met the quantitative thresholds for individual segment reporting, and they share a majority of the aggregation criteria, thus permitting the Company to aggregate these brands for segment reporting purposes.  This change in segment reporting did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for any periods. The segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and as of December 31, 2009 has been adjusted retrospectively to conform to the current period presentation.

 

The Company’s accounting policies of the segments below are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies, except that the Company does not allocate corporate overhead costs or non-operating income and expenses to segments. The Company evaluates segment performance primarily based on net sales and income or loss from operations. The Company’s reportable segments include the strategic business units for the worldwide wholesale operations of the UGG brand, Teva brand, and its other brands (including the Simple®, TSUBO®, and Ahnu® brands), its eCommerce business and its retail store business. The wholesale operations of each brand are managed separately because each requires different marketing, research and development, design, sourcing and sales strategies. The eCommerce and retail store segments are managed separately because they are direct to consumer sales, while the brand segments are wholesale sales. The income or loss from operations for each of the segments includes only those costs which are specifically related to each segment, which consist primarily of cost of sales, costs for research and development, design, selling and marketing, depreciation, amortization and the costs of employees and their respective expenses that are directly related to each business segment. The unallocated corporate overhead costs are the shared costs of the organization and include the following: costs of the distribution centers, certain executive and stock compensation, accounting and finance, legal, information technology, human resources and facilities costs, among others. The gross profit derived from the sales to third parties of the eCommerce and retail stores segments for the US is separated into two components: (i) the wholesale profit is included in the operating income or loss of each wholesale segment, and (ii) the retail profit is included in the operating income of the eCommerce and retail stores segments. The gross profit of the international portion of the eCommerce and retail stores segments includes both the wholesale and retail profit. Business segment information is summarized as follows:

The assets allocable to each reporting segment generally include accounts receivable, inventory, fixed assets, intangible assets and certain other assets that are specifically identifiable with one of the Company’s segments. Unallocated assets are the assets not specifically related to the segments and generally include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, deferred tax assets, and various other assets shared by the Company’s segments. Reconciliations of total assets from reportable segments to the condensed consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

At June 30, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $333,745. A portion of these are held as cash in operating accounts that are with third party financial institutions. These balances, at times, exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limits. While the Company regularly monitors the cash balances in its operating accounts and adjusts the balances as appropriate, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in its operating accounts.

The remainder of the Company’s cash equivalents is invested in interest bearing funds managed by third party investment management institutions. These investments can include US treasuries and government agencies, money market funds, and municipal bonds, among other investments. Certain of these investments are subject to general credit, liquidity, market, and interest rate risks. While the Company does not hold any investments whose value is directly correlated to mortgage debt, investment risk has been and may further be exacerbated by US mortgage defaults and credit and liquidity issues, which have affected various sectors of the financial markets. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had experienced no loss or lack of access to its cash and cash equivalents.

 

The Company sells its products to customers throughout the US and to foreign customers located in Europe, Canada, Australia, Asia, and Latin America, among other regions.  International sales were 52.4% and 45.3% of the Company’s total net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  International sales were 37.8% and 33.1% of the Company’s total net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The Company does not consider international operations a separate segment, as management reviews such operations in the aggregate with the aforementioned segments.

Management performs regular evaluations concerning the ability of its customers to satisfy their obligations and records a provision for doubtful accounts based upon these evaluations.  No single customer accounted for more than 10.0% of the Company’s net sales for either the three or six months ended June 30, 2010 or 2009.  As of June 30, 2010, no single customer represented more than 10.0% of net trade accounts receivable.  As of December 31, 2009, the Company had one customer representing 28.0% of net trade accounts receivable.

 

The Company’s production is concentrated at a limited number of independent contractor factories in China. The Company’s sourcing is concentrated in Australia and China.  The Company’s operations are subject to the customary risks of doing business abroad, including, but not limited to, currency fluctuations, customs duties and related fees, various import controls and other nontariff barriers, restrictions on the transfer of funds, labor unrest and strikes and, in certain parts of the world, political instability.

 

(10)                 Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company has a contract requiring minimum purchase commitments of sheepskin that Deckers’ affiliates, manufacturers, factories and other agents (each or collectively, a “Buyer”) must make on or before December 31, 2010. As of June 30, 2010 the remaining commitment is approximately $8,800. This contract may result in an unconditional purchase obligation if a Buyer does not meet the minimum purchase requirements. In the event that a Buyer does not purchase such minimum commitments on or before December 31, 2010, the Company is required to purchase any remaining amounts on or before December 31, 2010. The contract does not permit net settlement. The Company expects sheepskin purchases by third party factories will exceed the contract levels. Therefore, management believes the likelihood of any non-performance payments under this contractual arrangement is remote and would have an immaterial effect on the consolidated financial statements. The Company determined this based upon its historical and projected sales and inventory purchases.

 

The Company agreed to make loans to its joint venture with Stella International, should the need arise. As of June 30, 2010, the estimated remaining loans by Deckers were expected to be approximately $1,800. The Company owns 51% of the joint venture. The Company also entered into or amended agreements with certain of its international distributors to assume control of the distribution rights in those regions. Under one of these agreements, the Company is obligated to make total payments of

(amounts in thousands, except share quantity and per share data)

 

approximately $1,500 from July 1, 2010 through the first quarter of 2011. The payments include consideration for the purchase of certain assets and services.

 

In 2009, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) selected the Company’s US federal income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2007 for examination and has since expanded the audit period to include the years ending December 31, 2006 through 2008.  The Company does not know the timing of completion of the examination or if the examination will result in a material effect to the Company’s financial statements.  It is reasonably possible that the Company’s unrecognized tax benefit could change, and the Company cannot determine if any such change will be material.  The Company believes its unrecognized tax benefits are appropriately reported.

 

The Company is currently involved in various legal claims arising from the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that the disposition of these matters will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify certain of its licensees, distributors and promotional partners in connection with claims related to the use of the Company’s intellectual property. The terms of such agreements range up to five years initially and generally do not provide for a limitation on the maximum potential future payments. Management believes the likelihood of any payments is remote and would be immaterial. The Company determined the risk was low based on a prior history of insignificant claims. The Company is not currently involved in any indemnification matters in regards to its intellectual property.

 

(11)                 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

As of June 30, 2009, the Company did not reach its 2009 TSUBO brand period-to-date sales targets and reduced its long-term forecast for TSUBO brand sales.  These factors were indicators that the TSUBO intangible assets were possibly impaired.  As a result, the Company conducted an interim impairment evaluation of the TSUBO intangible assets as of June 30, 2009 and concluded that the fair value of the TSUBO trademarks was lower than the carrying amount.  Therefore, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $1,000 on the TSUBO trademarks during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.  The impairment loss is included as a part of the other wholesale reportable segment.

The Company’s other intangible assets, net are summarized as follows:

Overview

 

We are a leading designer, producer, marketer, and brand manager of innovative, high-quality footwear and accessories. We market our products primarily under two proprietary brands:

 

·                   UGG®: Premier brand in luxury and comfort footwear and accessories; and

 

·                   Teva®: High performance sport shoes and rugged outdoor footwear.

 

In addition to our primary brands, our other brands include Simple®, a line of innovative sustainable-lifestyle footwear and accessories; TSUBO®, a line of high-end casual footwear that incorporates style, function and maximum comfort; and Ahnu®, a line of outdoor performance and lifestyle footwear.

 

We sell our brands through our quality domestic retailers and international distributors and retailers, as well as directly to our end-user consumers through our eCommerce business and our retail stores. Independent third parties manufacture all of our products.

Our business has been impacted by several important trends affecting our end markets:

 

·                   The prolonged US and global economic conditions have adversely impacted businesses worldwide in general. Some of our customers have been, and more may be, adversely affected, which in turn has, and may continue to, adversely impact our financial results.

·                   The markets for casual, outdoor and athletic footwear have grown significantly during the last decade. We believe this growth is a result of the trend toward casual dress in the workplace, increasingly active outdoor lifestyles and a growing emphasis on comfort.

·                   Consumers are more often seeking footwear designed to address a broader array of activities with the same quality, comfort and high performance attributes they have come to expect from traditional athletic footwear.

·                   Our customers have narrowed their footwear product breadth, focusing on brands with a rich heritage and authenticity as market category creators and leaders.

·                   Consumers have become increasingly focused on luxury and comfort, seeking out products and brands that are fashionable while still comfortable.

·                   There is an emerging sustainable lifestyle movement happening all around the world. Consumers are demanding that brands and companies take a more responsible approach when it comes to protecting the environment.

 

By emphasizing our brands’ images and our focus on comfort, performance and authenticity, we believe we can maintain a loyal consumer following that is less susceptible to fluctuations caused by changing fashions and changes in consumer preferences.

 

Below is an overview of the various components of our business, including some of the important factors that affect each business and some of our strategies for growing each business.

 

UGG Brand Overview

 

The UGG brand has become well-known throughout the US as well as internationally.  Over the past several years, our UGG brand has received increased global media exposure including increased print media in ads and cooperative advertising with our customers, which has contributed to broader public awareness of the brand and significantly increased demand for the collection.  We believe that the increased global media focus and demand for UGG products were driven by the following:

 

·                   consumer brand loyalty, due to the luxury and comfort of UGG footwear;

·                   continued innovation of new product categories and styles;

·                   increased marketing in high-end magazines;

·                   successful targeting of high-end distribution;

·                   adoption by high-profile celebrities as a favored footwear brand;

·                   increased media attention that has enabled us to introduce the brand to consumers much faster than we would have otherwise been able to;

·                   increased exposure to the brand driven by our concept stores which showcase all of our product offerings; and

·                   continued geographic expansion across the US and internationally.

 

We believe the luxury and comfort features of UGG products will continue to drive long-term consumer demand.  Recognizing that there is a significant fashion element to UGG footwear and that footwear fashions fluctuate, our strategy seeks to prolong the longevity of the brand by offering a broader product line suitable for wear in a variety of climates and occasions and by limiting distribution to selected higher-end retailers.  As part of this strategy we have increased our product offering, including a growing spring line, an expanded men’s line, and a fall line that consists of a range of luxurious collections for both genders, an expanded kids’ line, as well as handbags and cold weather outerwear and accessories.

Because of our Teva brand’s heritage in outdoor footwear and continued commitment to product innovation, the brand remains popular with traditional outdoor athletes and enthusiasts.  Since early 2009, we have employed proprietary consumer insights to help fine tune our strategic plan.  Our integrated product, marketing and sales efforts are now focused on growth markets that expand the Teva brand’s reach beyond sandals and the traditional outdoor market.  Going forward, we intend to leverage the Teva brand’s core performance competencies of traction, hydro and comfort to drive growth through innovation in the growing closed toe markets of multi-sport and light hiking, which enjoy strong appeal to a large number of consumers.

 

Teva product sales grew in 2010, resulting largely from the strong sell through at retail in 2009 and due to our conversion of a distributor to a direct subsidiary in Benelux, despite the economic downturn.  This included our small but relevant fall multi-sport and

light hiking line of shoes for men, women and children, as well as our greatly contemporized spring line of performance and lifestyle sandals.  We started off the first half of 2010 with growing brand momentum, and our new spring and fall product lines and marketing support have been viewed by our retailers as exciting, innovative and appealing.

 

We see continuing opportunity to grow the Teva brand within our core outdoor specialty and sporting goods channels of trade, but we also believe we have significant expansion opportunities into the family footwear, department store, better footwear, and other channels.  Through effective channel management and clear product line segmentation, we believe we can grow the Teva brand in all of these channels without alienating our core consumer or retailers in the outdoor specialty channel.  However, we cannot assure investors that these efforts will be successful.

 

Other Brands Overview

 

Our other brands consist primarily of the Simple, TSUBO, and Ahnu brands.  The Simple brand is committed to style and innovation in fashionable, youthful, functional, and sustainably-produced footwear.  The brand is a leader in sustainable footwear, and we are committed to our objective of making Simple products 100% sustainable, thus minimizing the ecological footprint left on the planet.  Green Toe®, our collection of sustainable footwear, represents a revolutionary shift in thinking about footwear by building a shoe from the inside out using sustainable materials and processes.  The progress in Green Toe has influenced the rest of the Simple product line, which has led to the development of additional product platforms, such as ecoSNEAKS®.  This product collection also uses sustainable materials such as water-based cements, certified organic cotton, British Leather Consortium (BLC) and International Standards Organization (ISO) 14001 leathers, hemp, and outsoles made from recycled car tires.  Our marketing vehicles include small print in regional publications, a digital media platform, including a social media strategy, public relations and consumer events that focus on music and sustainability.

 

TSUBO, meaning pressure point in Japanese, is marketed as high-end casual footwear for men and women. The brand is the synthesis of ergonomics and style, with a full line of sport and dress casuals, boots, sandals and heels constructed to provide consumers with contemporary footwear that incorporates style, function and maximum comfort.  The TSUBO brand has a rich heritage with consumers in major cities around the world who appreciate design, pay attention to detail, and will not sacrifice comfort.  We are building on this heritage, positioning the TSUBO brand as the premium footwear solution for people in the city, providing all day comfort, style and quality.  We are continuing to create product addressing consumers’ unique needs: all-day comfort, innovative style and superior quality.  At the same time, we are marketing to the TSUBO brand consumers where they live, emphasizing regional advertising and in-market grass roots, product placement and public relations efforts.

 

In March 2009, we acquired 100% of the ownership interest of Ahnu, Inc.  The Ahnu brand is an outdoor performance and lifestyle footwear brand with products for men, women and children.  The name Ahnu is derived from the Celtic goddess representing the balance of well-being and prosperity.  The brand focuses primarily on women consumers offering style and comfort for active women on both trails and pavement.  The product goal is to achieve uncompromising footwear performance by developing footwear that will provide the appropriate balance of traction, grip, flexibility, cushioning and durability for a variety of outdoor activities — whether on trails, beaches or sidewalks.  Ahnu products are sold throughout the US, primarily at outdoor specialty stores and independent shoe stores, as well as certain regions internationally.

 

We expect to leverage our design, marketing and distribution capabilities to grow these brands over the next several years, consistent with our mission to build niche brands into global market leaders.  Nevertheless, we cannot assure investors that our efforts will be successful.

 

eCommerce Overview

 

Our eCommerce business, which sells most of our brands, enables us to meet the growing demand for these products, sell the products at retail prices and provide significant incremental operating income.  The eCommerce business enables us to directly interact and reinforce our relationships with the consumer.  In recent years, our eCommerce business has had strong revenue growth, much of which occurred as the UGG brand gained global popularity and as consumers continued to increase internet usage for footwear and other purchases.

 

Managing our eCommerce business requires us to focus on the latest trends and techniques for web design, to generate internet traffic to our websites, to effectively convert website visits into orders, and to maximize average order sizes.  We plan to continue to grow our eCommerce business through improved website features and performance including a new eCommerce platform, increased marketing and more international websites.  Nevertheless, we cannot assure investors that revenue from our eCommerce business will not decline.

Retail Stores Overview

 

Our retail stores are predominantly UGG Australia concept stores and UGG Australia outlet stores.  Our retail stores enable us to directly impact our customers’ experience, meet the growing demand for these products, sell the products at retail prices and provide us with incremental operating income.  In addition, our UGG Australia concept stores allow us to showcase our entire UGG product line; whereas, our retailers may not carry the whole line.  Through our outlet stores, we sell some of our discontinued styles from prior seasons, plus products made specifically for the outlet stores.  We sell Teva and some of our other brands through our UGG Australia outlet stores.  In June 2010, we opened our second store in China, located in Shenyang, with our joint venture partner.  As of June 30, 2010, we had a total of 19 retail stores worldwide.  For the remainder of 2010, we plan to significantly expand our retail stores business through opening additional stores in the US and internationally.

 

Seasonality

 

Our business is seasonal, with the highest percentage of UGG brand net sales occurring in the third and fourth quarters and the highest percentage of Teva brand net sales occurring in the first and second quarters of each year.  Our other brands do not have a significant seasonal impact.

With the large growth in the UGG brand in recent years, net sales in the last half of the year have exceeded that for the first half of the year. Given our expectations for our brands, we currently expect this trend to continue. Nonetheless, actual results could differ materially depending upon consumer preferences, availability of product, competition and our customers continuing to carry and promote our various product lines, among other risks and uncertainties. See Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

Overview.   The increase in net sales was primarily due to an increase in UGG and Teva product sales.  The increase in income from operations resulted primarily from the increase in gross margin and higher net sales, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses.

The increase in net sales was primarily driven by strong sales for the UGG and Teva brands.  In addition, our weighted-average wholesale selling price per pair increased 1.8% to $35.41 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $34.78 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, resulting primarily from higher UGG and Teva sales, with UGG products generally carrying a higher average selling price.  During the quarter, we experienced an increase in the number of pairs sold primarily through our UGG and Teva wholesale channels, partially offset by a decrease in our other wholesale segment.  This resulted in a 28.6% overall increase in the volume of footwear sold for all brands to approximately 3.6 million pairs for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to approximately 2.8 million pairs for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

 

Wholesale net sales of our UGG brand increased primarily due to an increase in global shipments of fall products, combined with solid sales of the spring line at company owned retail stores.  We cannot assure investors that UGG brand sales will continue to grow at their past pace.

 

Wholesale net sales of our Teva brand increased primarily due to higher reorders of the expanded spring line of open and closed toe footwear, combined with an increase in the weighted-average wholesale selling price per pair.  The average selling price increase was the result of significantly decreased closeout sales and was also the result of realizing the benefit of assuming the distribution rights in Benelux and France starting in January 2010.

 

Wholesale net sales of our other brands increased, primarily due to an increase in the weighted average selling prices.

 

Net sales of our eCommerce business decreased slightly.

 

Net sales of our retail store business, which are primarily UGG brand sales, increased largely due to the addition of five new stores opened since June 30, 2009.  We do not expect this growth rate to continue because as we increase the number of our stores, each new

store will have less proportional impact on our growth rate.  For those stores that were open during the full second quarter of 2009 and 2010, same store sales grew by 19.2%.  Nevertheless, we cannot assure investors that retail store sales will continue to grow at their recent pace or that revenue from our retail store business will not at some point decline.

 

International sales, which are included in the segment sales above, for all of our products combined represented 52.4% and 45.3% of worldwide net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The majority of the international sales growth was from the UGG brand in the European region.

 

Gross Profit.  As a percentage of net sales, gross margin increased to 44.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to 39.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  The increase was primarily attributable to higher margins on our Teva and other brands, related to reduced closeout sales, and realizing the benefit of the Teva direct wholesale business in Benelux starting in January 2010.  In addition, we received approximately $3,100 in duty refunds during the three months ended June 30, 2010, which we do not expect to recur at this level.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A).  As a percentage of net sales, SG&A decreased to 34.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 35.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  The increase in SG&A in absolute dollars resulted primarily from:

 

·       increased payroll and related costs in support of our continued growth;

·       fixed costs related to five new retail stores that were not open in the first quarter of 2009; and

·       costs associated with our Teva distribution in Benelux, both the costs incurred to assume the distribution as well as operating expenses.

 

The increase in absolute dollars was partially offset by increased net bad debt recoveries and an overall decrease in marketing expenses.

 

Income from Operations.   The gross profit derived from the sales to third parties of the eCommerce and retail store segments for the US is separated into two components:  (i) the wholesale profit is included in the operating income or loss of each wholesale segment, and (ii) the remaining profit is included in the eCommerce and retail stores segments.  The gross profit of the international portion of the eCommerce and retail stores segments includes both the wholesale and retail profit.  The following table summarizes operating income (loss) by segment:

Income from operations increased due to the increase in net sales and gross margin, partially offset by the higher SG&A expenses.

 

The increase in income from operations of UGG brand wholesale was primarily the result of a higher gross margin, partially attributable to the duty refunds, and the higher sales, combined with higher net bad debt recoveries.  These results were partially offset by higher research, development, and design expenses.

 

The increase in income from operations of Teva brand wholesale was largely due to higher sales and gross margin, primarily due to the decreased impact of closeout sales and the benefit of direct business in Benelux.  These results were partially offset by increased divisional expenses.

 

The loss from operations of our other brands wholesale improved primarily due to increased gross margins and decreased marketing and promotional expenses in 2010, as well as an impairment charge in 2009.

 

We had a loss from operations of our eCommerce business, primarily due to a lower gross margin and higher operating expenses, partially offset by an increase in UGG eCommerce sales.

 

18



Table of Contents

 

The loss from operations of our retail store business remained relatively flat.  We incurred higher operating expenses primarily related to our new store openings, which were partially offset by increased sales and gross margins.

 

The increase in unallocated overhead costs resulted primarily from higher international infrastructure costs to support our continued growth.

 

Other (Income) Expense, Net.   Interest expense increased due to negative interest expense in 2009 due to the reversal of accrued interest related to certain tax obligations for one of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.  Interest income decreased primarily from significantly lower market interest rates, as well as a shift in our investment mix to all highly liquid cash equivalents.

 

Income Taxes.   Income taxes for the interim periods are computed using the effective tax rate estimated to be applicable for the full fiscal year, which is subject to ongoing review and evaluation by management and can vary from quarter to quarter.  Income tax expense and effective income tax rates were as follows:

The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the increase in our projected annual international pre-tax income as a percentage of worldwide pre-tax income, as income generated in most of our foreign jurisdictions are taxed at significantly lower rates than the US.  The effective tax rate is subject to ongoing review and evaluation by management and can vary from quarter to quarter.  We anticipate our effective tax rate for the full year 2010 to be slightly higher than the full year rate of 36.2% in 2009.

 

Net Loss Attributable to the Noncontrolling Interest.   Net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest in our joint venture with Stella International was $56 and $112 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

Net Income Attributable to Deckers Outdoor Corporation.   Our net income increased as a result of the items discussed above.  Our diluted earnings per share increased by 213.6% to $0.23 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $.0.07 in the same period of 2009, primarily as a result of the increase in net income.

The increase in net sales was primarily driven by strong sales for the UGG and Teva brands.  In addition, our weighted-average wholesale selling price per pair increased 5.5% to $32.97 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $31.25 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, resulting primarily from higher UGG and Teva sales, with UGG products generally carrying a higher average selling price.  During the period, we experienced

 

20



Table of Contents

 

an increase in the number of pairs sold primarily through our Teva and UGG wholesale segments.  This resulted in a 15.2% overall increase in the volume of footwear sold for all brands to approximately 7.6 million pairs for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to approximately 6.6 million pairs for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

 

Wholesale net sales of our UGG brand increased primarily due to an increase of global sales of fall orders combined with solid sales of the spring line at company owned retail stores.  We cannot assure investors that UGG brand sales will continue to grow at their past pace or that revenue from UGG products will not at some point decline.

 

Wholesale net sales of our Teva brand increased primarily due to an increase in the number of pairs sold, as well as an increase in the weighted-average wholesale selling price per pair.  The average selling price increase was primarily the result of realizing the benefit of assuming the distribution rights in Benelux and France starting in January 2010.  We cannot assure investors that the Teva brand sales will continue to grow at their recent pace or that revenue from the Teva brand products will not at some point decline.

 

Wholesale net sales of our other brands increased, primarily due to an overall increase in the number of pairs sold.

 

Net sales of our eCommerce business increased, primarily from an increase in UGG eCommerce sales, as well as higher overall average selling prices.

 

The increase in net sales of our retail store business, being mainly UGG sales, was largely due to the addition of five new stores opened since June 30, 2009.  We do not expect this growth rate to continue because as we increase the number of our stores, each new store will have less proportional impact on our growth rate.  For those stores that were open during the full six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, same store sales grew by 25.6%.  Nevertheless, we cannot assure investors that retail store sales will continue to grow at their recent pace or that revenue from our retail store business will not at some point decline.

 

International sales, which are included in the segment sales above, for all of our products combined represented 37.8% and 33.1% of worldwide net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The majority of the international sales growth was from the UGG brand in our European region.

 

Gross Profit.  As a percentage of net sales, gross margin increased to 47.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 42.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The increase was primarily attributable to a higher percentage of retail sales and higher margins on our Teva and other brands, related to reduced closeout sales, and realizing the benefit of the Teva direct wholesale business in Benelux starting in January 2010.  In addition, we received approximately $5,500 in duty refunds during the six months ended June 30, 2010, which we do not expect to recur at this level.  Our gross margins fluctuate based on several factors, and we expect our gross margin to increase for the full year of 2010 compared to 2009.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, increased to 33.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 32.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The increase in SG&A resulted primarily from a planned increase in payroll expenses, five new retail stores that were not open as of June 30, 2009, and divisional expenses primarily related to our new brands.

Income from Operations.  The gross profit derived from the sales to third parties of the eCommerce and retail store segments for the US is separated into two components:  (i) the wholesale profit is included in the operating income or loss of each wholesale segment, and (ii) the remaining profit is included in the eCommerce and retail stores segments.  The gross profit of the international portion of the eCommerce and retail stores segments includes both the wholesale and retail profit.  The following table summarizes operating income (loss) by segment:

Income from operations increased primarily due to the increase in sales and gross margins, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

The increase in income from operations of UGG brand wholesale was primarily the result of the higher sales and gross margin, partially attributable to the duty refunds, as well as increased bad debt recoveries, partially offset by increased research and development and design expenses as well as increased divisional sale expenses.

 

The increase in income from operations of Teva brand wholesale was primarily the result of higher sales led by our European and domestic regions, partially offset by an increase in other divisional expenses.

 

The loss from operations of our other brands wholesale improved primarily due to decreased marketing and promotional expenses, as well as the increased sales and gross margins in 2010, and an impairment charge in 2009.

 

Income from operations of our eCommerce business decreased primarily due to decreased margins and increased operating expenses, partially offset by an increase in UGG sales.

 

Income from operations of our retail store business increased primarily due to the higher sales and gross margin, partially offset by higher operating expenses primarily related to our new store openings.

 

Unallocated overhead costs increased primarily from higher corporate payroll costs resulting from our planned increase in headcount related to our continued growth.

 

Other (Income) Expense, Net.   Interest expense increased due to negative interest expense in 2009 due to the reversal of accrued interest related to certain tax obligations for one of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.   In addition, interest income decreased primarily from significantly lower market interest rates, as well as a shift in our investment mix to all highly liquid cash equivalents.

 

Income Taxes.   Income taxes for the interim periods are computed using the effective tax rate estimated to be applicable for the full fiscal year, which is subject to ongoing review and evaluation by management and can vary from quarter to quarter.  Income tax expense and effective income tax rates were as follows:

The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the increase in our projected annual international pre-tax income as a percentage of worldwide pre-tax income, as income generated in most of our foreign jurisdictions are taxed at significantly lower rates than the US.  Our effective tax rate is based on pre-tax income projections for the full year, which are management’s best estimates based on available information.  We anticipate our effective tax rate for the full year 2010 to be slightly higher than the full year rate of 36.2% in 2009.

 

Net Loss (Income) Attributable to the Noncontrolling Interest.   Net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest in our joint venture with Stella International, was $189 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, versus a net loss of $99 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

 

Net Income Attributable to Deckers Outdoor Corporation.   Our net income increased as a result of the items discussed above.  Our diluted earnings per share increased by 81.6% to $0.69 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $0.38 in the same period of 2009, primarily as a result of the increase in net income.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have off-balance sheet arrangements consisting of operating lease obligations and purchase obligations.  See “Contractual Obligations” below.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We finance our working capital and operating needs using a combination of our cash and cash equivalents balances, short-term investments, cash generated from operations and, as needed, the credit available under our credit agreement. In an economic recession or under other adverse economic conditions, we may be unable to realize a return on our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, secure additional credit on favorable terms, renew our existing credit or access our existing line of credit. Such failures may impact our working capital reserves and have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Since the latter part of 2007, US and foreign credit markets have experienced adverse conditions, including unusual volatility and a lack of secondary market liquidity, which conditions have presented, and continue to present, significant challenges to the investment markets and have limited the availability of short-term debt for working capital. While it is difficult to predict how long these adverse conditions will exist, these factors, if they continue, could adversely impact our future financial condition and our future results of operations.

 

Our cash flow cycle includes the purchase of inventories, the subsequent sale of the inventories and the eventual collection of the resulting accounts receivables. As a result, our working capital requirements begin when we purchase the inventories and continue until we ultimately collect the resulting receivables. The seasonality of our UGG brand business requires us to build fall and winter inventories in the second and third quarters to support sales for the UGG brand’s major selling seasons, which historically occur during the third and fourth quarters; whereas, the Teva brand generally begins to build its inventory levels beginning in the fourth and first quarters in anticipation of the spring selling season that occurs in the first and second quarters.  Given the seasonality of our UGG and our Teva brands, our working capital requirements fluctuate significantly throughout the year. The cash required to fund these working capital fluctuations has been provided using our internal cash flows. If necessary, we may borrow funds under our credit agreement.  During 2009 and the six months ended June 30, 2010, we did not borrow funds under our credit agreement.

Cash from Operating Activities.   Net cash was provided by operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to net cash used in operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to a larger increase in trade accounts payable and a smaller increase in inventories in the six months ended June 30, 2010 versus 2009. The larger increase in trade accounts payable was primarily due to the timing of purchases and payments.  The smaller increase in inventories was primarily due to improved inventory management. These changes were partially offset by an increase in trade accounts receivable in the first six months of 2010 compared to a decrease in the same period in 2009.  The increase in accounts receivable is primarily due to an increase in sales in the first six months of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, as well as higher cash collections in the six months ended June 30, 2009.  Net working capital increased from December 31, 2009 to June 30, 2010, primarily as a result of higher inventories and cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by higher trade accounts payable and lower short-term investments.  Changes in working capital are due to the items discussed above, as well as our normal seasonality and timing of cash receipts and cash payments.

 

As of September 30, 2009, we changed the method of our accounts receivable turnover calculation to exclude consumer direct sales, as this is more consistent with how management views the business, and, in general, our consumer direct sales do not carry accounts receivable balances.  Under our new method, wholesale accounts receivable turnover increased to 8.9 times in the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 from 7.8 times for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to increased sales for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2009.

 

Inventory turnover increased slightly to 3.8 times for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 3.6 times for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, mainly due to the cost of sales increasing at a higher rate compared to the increase in average inventory, as a result of bringing in fall inventory later, during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2009.

 

Cash from Investing Activities.   Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 resulted primarily from sales of short-term investments, partially offset by purchases of property and equipment and acquisitions of businesses.  In addition, we did not purchase short-term investments in the six months ended June 30, 2010, as we shifted our investments to highly liquid cash equivalents.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net cash used in investing activities resulted primarily from purchases of short-term investments.

 

As of June 30, 2010, we had no material commitments for future capital expenditures but estimate that the remaining capital expenditures for 2010 will range from approximately $18,000 to $23,000. We anticipate these expenditures will primarily include the

 

24



Table of Contents

 

build-out of new retail stores and computer software and hardware, including a new product management system and a new eCommerce platform.  The actual amount of capital expenditures for the remainder of 2010 may differ from this estimate, largely depending on the timing of new store openings or any unforeseen needs to replace existing assets and the timing of other expenditures.

 

Cash from Financing Activities.   For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net cash used in financing activities was comprised primarily of cash used for repurchases of our common stock and for shares withheld for taxes from employee stock unit vestings, partially offset by excess tax benefits from stock compensation.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net cash used was comprised of cash paid for shares withheld for taxes from employee stock unit vestings, partially offset by excess tax benefits from stock compensation.

 

In June 2009, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $50,000 of our common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors.  The program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock and the program may be suspended at any time at our discretion.  Prior to the stock split, we repurchased shares that were retired; the repurchased shares and repurchase price were not affected by the stock split.  During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we repurchased approximately 20,000 shares of our common stock under this program for approximately $2,600, or an average price of $129.16 per share.  As of June 30, 2010, the remaining amount approved to repurchase shares is approximately $27,400.

 

In May 2010, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Comerica Bank, or the Credit Agreement.  The Credit Agreement provides for a maximum availability of $20,000. Up to $12,500 of borrowings may be in the form of letters of credit. The Credit Agreement bears interest at the lender’s prime rate (3.25% at June 30, 2010) or, at our option, at the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, (0.35% at June 30, 2010) plus 1.0%, and is secured by substantially all of our assets. The Credit Agreement includes annual commitment fees of $60 per year which can be waived if we deposit $10,000 in non-interest bearing new deposits with Comerica Bank, provided that such deposits may be removed by us at any time, subject to paying a pro-rated annual commitment fee.  The Credit Agreement expires on June 1, 2012.  At June 30, 2010, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement and outstanding letters of credit of $941.  As a result, $19,059 was available under the Credit Agreement at June 30, 2010.

 

The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants.  The covenants currently include a maximum additional debt of $20,000, maximum asset sales of $5,000, maximum loans to employees of $200, and maximum loans to subsidiaries who are not parties to the Credit Agreement of $25,000.  As of June 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all covenants and remain so as of the date of this report.  The agreements underlying the Credit Agreement also contain certain financial covenants, if outstanding obligations exceed $2,000, including a minimum tangible net worth requirement of $294,891 plus 75% of the consolidated net profit on a cumulative basis, commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, no consolidated net loss for two or more consecutive fiscal quarters and maximum acquisitions of $25,000.  At June 30, 2010, these covenants were not in effect because our balance did not exceed $2,000.

 

Contractual Obligations.   The following table summarizes our contractual obligations at June 30, 2010, and the effects such obligations are expected to have on liquidity and cash flow in future periods.

(1)    Our operating lease obligations consist primarily of building leases for our retail locations, distribution centers, and corporate and regional offices.  O ther long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet include primarily deferred rents, of which the cash lease payments are included in operating lease obligations in this table.

(2)    Our purchase obligations consist largely of open purchase orders.  They also include promotional expenses, service contracts, and minimum purchase commitments.  Outstanding purchase orders are primarily with our third party manufacturers and are expected to be paid within one year.  These are outstanding open orders and not minimum purchase obligations.  Our promotional expenditures and service contracts are due periodically through 2012.  In February 2009, we entered into a contract requiring minimum purchase commitments of sheepskin with a remaining commitment of approximately $8,800 as of June 30, 2010 that Deckers’ affiliates, manufacturers, factories and other agents (each or collectively, a “Buyer”) must make on or before December 31, 2010.  This contract may result in an unconditional purchase obligation if a Buyer does not meet the minimum purchase requirements.  In the event that a Buyer does not purchase such minimum commitments on or

 

25



Table of Contents

 

before December 31, 2010, Deckers is required to purchase any remaining amounts on or before December 31, 2010.  We expect our sheepskin purchases by third party factories supplying UGG product to us will exceed these levels.  Therefore, we do not anticipate having to make any non-performance payments under this contractual arrangement; however, we are not able to reasonably estimate when or if cash payments will occur and have included the remaining amount in this table.  We believe this will not materially affect our liquidity or results of operations, as it is in the normal course of our business.

(3)    The unrecognized tax benefits are related to uncertain tax positions taken in our income tax return that would impact the effective tax rate or additional paid-in capital, if recognized.

 

In addition to the amounts in the table above, we have entered into other off-balance sheet arrangements.  We agreed to make loans to our joint venture with Stella International, should the need arise. As of June 30, 2010, the estimated remaining loans by Deckers were expected to be approximately $1,800.  We also have potential future earn-out payments relating to our acquisitions of TSUBO, LLC and Ahnu, Inc. through 2013.  These amounts were excluded from the table above as all conditions for the earn-out payments have not been met.  Additionally, we entered into or amended agreements with certain of our international distributors to assume control of the distribution rights in those regions.  Under these agreements, we expect to make total payments to these distributors of approximately $7,100 from July 1, 2010 through 2011.  The payments include consideration for the purchase of certain assets and services.

 

We believe that internally generated funds, the available borrowings under our existing Credit Agreement or a new credit agreement, cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments will provide sufficient liquidity to enable us to meet our current and foreseeable working capital requirements.  However, risks and uncertainties that could impact our ability to maintain our cash position include our growth rate, the continued strength of our brands, our ability to respond to changes in consumer preferences, our ability to collect our receivables in a timely manner, our ability to effectively manage our inventories, the availability of short-term credit, and market volatility, among others.  See Part II, Item 1A, and “Risk Factors” for a discussion of additional factors that may affect our working capital position.  Furthermore, we may require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue.  If these sources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell debt securities or additional equity securities or to obtain a new credit agreement or draw on our existing Credit Agreement.  The sale of convertible debt securities or additional equity securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders.  The incurrence of indebtedness would result in incurring debt service obligations and could result in operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations.  In addition, there can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.  Although there are no other material present understandings, commitments or agreements with respect to the acquisition of any other businesses, we may evaluate acquisitions of other businesses or brands.

 

Impact of Inflation

 

We believe that the rates of inflation during the three most recent fiscal years have not had a material impact on our net sales or income from operations.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Revenue Recognition.   We recognize revenue when products are shipped and the customer takes title and assumes risk of loss, collection of relevant receivable is reasonably assured, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the sales price is fixed or determinable.  Allowances for estimated returns, discounts, chargebacks, and bad debts are provided for when related revenue is recorded. Amounts billed for shipping and handling costs are recorded as a component of net sales, while the related costs paid to third-party shipping companies are recorded as a cost of sales.  We present revenue net of taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.

 

Use of Estimates.   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures about contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period.  Management bases these estimates and assumptions upon historical experience, existing and known circumstances, authoritative accounting pronouncements and other factors that management believes to be reasonable.  Management reasonably could use different estimates and assumptions, and changes in estimates and assumptions could occur from period to period, with the result in each case being a potential material change in the financial statement presentation of our financial condition or results of operations.  We believe that the estimates and assumptions below are among those most important to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements contained in this report.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.   We provide a reserve against trade accounts receivable for estimated losses that may result from customers’ inability to pay. We determine the amount of the reserve by analyzing known uncollectible accounts, aged trade accounts receivables, economic conditions and forecasts, historical experience and the customers’ credit-worthiness. Trade accounts receivable that are subsequently determined to be uncollectible are charged or written off against this reserve. The reserve includes specific reserves for accounts that have been identified as partially or wholly potentially uncollectible, plus a non-specific reserve for the balance of accounts based on our historical loss experience.  Reserves have been established for all projected losses of this nature. The decrease in the allowance for doubtful accounts from December 31, 2009 to June 30, 2010 was primarily due to a decrease in one account’s specific reserve, as that customer had filed for bankruptcy, and subsequently, we recovered the outstanding account balance against which we had previously reserved.  Our use of different estimates and assumptions could produce different financial results.  For example, a 1.0% change in the rate used to estimate the reserve for the accounts we consider to have credit risk and are not specifically identified as uncollectible would change the allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2010 by approximately $300.

 

Reserve for Sales Discounts.  A significant portion of our wholesale net sales and resulting trade accounts receivable reflects a discount that the customers may take, generally based upon meeting certain order, shipment and payment timelines.  We estimate the amount of the discounts that are available to be taken against the period-end trade accounts receivable, and we record a corresponding reserve for sales discounts.  The decrease in the reserve was primarily due to a lower percentage of total outstanding customer balances being eligible for terms discounts.  Our use of different estimates and assumptions could produce different financial results. For example, a 10.0% change in the estimate of the percentage of accounts that will ultimately take their discount would change the reserve for sales discounts at June 30, 2010 by approximately $100.

 

Allowance for Estimated Chargebacks.   When our domestic wholesale customers pay their invoices, they often take deductions for chargebacks against their invoices, which are often valid.  Therefore, we record an allowance for the balance of chargebacks that are outstanding in our accounts receivable balance as of the end of each quarter, along with an estimated reserve for chargebacks that have not yet been taken against outstanding accounts receivable balances.  This estimate is based on historical trends of the timing of chargebacks taken against invoices.  The decrease in the allowance as a percentage of accounts receivable was largely attributable to additional resources focused on customer deductions.

 

Allowance for Estimated Returns and Estimated Returns Liability.  We record an allowance for anticipated future returns of goods shipped prior to period-end and a liability for anticipated returns of goods sold direct to consumers. In general, we accept returns for damaged or defective products but discourage returns for other reasons. We also accept returns from our retail and eCommerce customers for a thirty-day period. We base the amounts of the allowance and liability on any approved customer requests for returns, historical returns experience and any recent events that could result in a change from historical returns rates, among other factors.  The estimated returns liability as of June 30, 2010 decreased relative to the liability at December 31, 2009 due to the December reserve amount including increased reserves to account for increased expected holiday returns during the first quarter of 2010.  Our use of different estimates and assumptions could produce different financial results.  For example, a 1.0% change in the rate used to estimate the percentage of sales expected to ultimately be returned would change the reserve for returns at June 30, 2010 by approximately $600.

 

Inventory Write-Downs.  Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market. We review the various items in inventory on a regular basis for excess, obsolete, and impaired inventory.  In doing so, we write the inventory down to the lower of cost or estimated future net

selling prices.  At June 30, 2010, inventories were stated at $120,460, net of inventory write-downs of $966.  At December 31, 2009, inventories were stated at $85,356, net of inventory write-downs of $1,846.  The decrease in inventory write-downs at June 30, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009 was primarily due to sales of previously written-down inventory, primarily in our other brands segment inventories.  Our use of different estimates and assumptions could produce different financial results.  For example, a 10.0% change in the estimated selling prices of our potentially obsolete inventory would change the inventory write-down reserve at June 30, 2010 by approximately $200.

 

Valuation of Goodwill, Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets .   Annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, we assess the impairment of goodwill, intangible and other long-lived assets on a separate asset basis based on assumptions and judgments regarding the carrying amount of these assets individually. We test goodwill and nonamortizable intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis as of December 31 based on the fair value of the reporting unit for goodwill and the fair value of the assets for nonamortizable intangibles compared to their respective carrying value. We consider other long-lived assets to be impaired if we determine that the carrying value may not be fully recoverable. Among other considerations, we consider the following factors:

 

·       the assets’ ability to continue to generate income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods;

·       changes in consumer demand or acceptance of the related brand names, products or features associated with the assets;

·       increased competition; and

·       deterioration of general economic conditions or the retail environment, and customers reducing orders in response to such conditions.

 

If we determine the assets to be impaired, we recognize an impairment loss equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets.  In addition, as it relates to long-lived assets, we base the useful lives and related amortization or depreciation expense on the estimate of the period that the assets will generate sales or otherwise be used by us.  Our use of different estimates (including estimated royalty rates, discount rates, market multiples, and future revenues, among others) and assumptions could produce different financial results.

 

As of June 30, 2009, our inability to reach our 2009 TSUBO brand period to date sales targets along with a reduced long-term forecast for TSUBO brand sales growth were indicators that the TSUBO intangible assets were possibly impaired. As a result, we conducted an interim impairment evaluation of the TSUBO intangible assets as of June 30, 2009 and concluded that the fair value of the TSUBO trademarks was lower than the carrying amount. Therefore, we recognized an impairment loss of $1,000 in the second quarter of 2009 on the TSUBO trademarks. In addition, we began amortizing the remaining balance of the TSUBO trademarks over 10 years.

 

Stock Compensation Expense. Stock compensation transactions with employees are accounted for using the fair value method and expensed ratably over the vesting period of the award.  Stock compensation expense is based on the fair values of all share-based awards as of the grant date. Determining the expense of share-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating the percentage of awards that will be forfeited, probabilities of meeting criteria for performance-based awards, stock volatility, the expected life of the award, and other inputs.  If actual forfeitures differ significantly from the estimates, stock compensation expense and our results of operations could be materially impacted.

 

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Derivative Instruments.   We currently do not utilize a significant amount of forward contracts or other derivative instruments to mitigate exposure to fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rate, as we expect the majority of our purchases and sales for the short term to be denominated in US currency.  As our international operations grow and we increase purchases and sales in foreign currencies, we will evaluate and utilize more derivative instruments, as needed, to hedge our foreign currency exposures.  We do not use foreign currency contracts for trading purposes.

 

Although the majority of our sales and inventory purchases are denominated in US currency, our sales and inventory purchases may be impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rates between the US dollar and the local currencies in the international markets where our products are sold and manufactured.  Approximately $23,000, or 7.7%, of our total net sales during the six months ended June 30, 2010 were denominated in foreign currencies.  As we begin to hold more cash in foreign currencies, we are exposed to financial statement gains and losses as a result of translating the operating results and financial positions held in foreign currencies into US dollars.  We translate monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies into US dollars using the exchange rate as of the end of the reporting period.  Changes in foreign exchange rates affect our reported profits and can distort comparisons from year to year.  In addition, if the US dollar strengthens, it may result in increased pricing pressure on our distributors, which may have a negative

impact on our net sales and gross margins.  We are unable to estimate the amount of any impact on sales and gross margins attributed to pricing pressures caused by fluctuations in exchange rates.

 

Interest Rate Risk.   Our market risk exposure with respect to financial instruments is tied to changes in the prime rate in the US and changes in LIBOR.  Our credit agreement provides for interest on outstanding borrowings at rates tied to the prime rate or at our election tied to LIBOR.  At June 30, 2010, we had no outstanding borrowings under the credit agreement.  A 1.0% increase in interest rates on our current borrowings would have no impact on income before income taxes.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk.   We face market risk to the extent that changes in foreign currency exchange rates affect our foreign assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We manage these risks by attempting to denominate contractual and other foreign arrangements in US dollars and by maintaining a significant percentage of our liabilities in US dollars.  We hedge certain foreign currency forecasted transactions and exposures from existing assets and liabilities, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 when we did not hedge foreign currency exchange rate risk.  Other than an increasing amount of sales, expenses, and financial positions denominated in foreign currencies, as discussed above, we do not believe that there has been a material change in the nature of our primary market risk exposures, including the categories of market risk to which we are exposed and the particular markets that present the primary risk of loss.  As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we do not know of or expect there to be any material change in the general nature of our primary market risk exposure in the near term.

 

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures which are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.  These disclosure controls and procedures include, among other processes, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2010 pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15.  Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Part II.   OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.      Legal Proceedings

 

We are involved in routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that the disposition of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Additionally, we have many pending disputes in the US Patent and Trademark Office, foreign trademark offices and US federal and foreign courts regarding unauthorized use or registration of our brand trademarks. We also are aware of many instances throughout the world in which a third party is using our UGG trademarks within its internet domain name, and we have discovered and are investigating several manufacturers and distributors of counterfeit Teva and UGG products.

 

Item 1A.   Risk Factors

 

There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, filed on March 1, 2010.

ARTICLE VIII

 

STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT

 

Any election of directors or other action by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at an annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be effected by written consent without a meeting.

 

ARTICLE IX

 

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

 

SECTION 1.           Classified Board .  Except to the extent otherwise provided in any certificate of designations filed under Section 151(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (or its successor statute as in effect from time to time), the Board of Directors shall be and is divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III.  Such classes shall be as nearly equal in number of directors as reasonably possible.  Each director shall serve for a term ending on the third annual meeting following the annual meeting at which such director was elected; provided , however , that the directors first elected to Class I shall serve for a term ending on the annual meeting date next following the end of calendar year 1993, the directors first elected to Clams II shall serve for a term ending on the second annual meeting date next following the end of calendar year 1993, and the directors first elected to Class III shall serve for a term ending on the third annual meeting date next following the end of calendar year 1993.  The foregoing notwithstanding, each director shall serve until a successor to such director shall have been duly elected and qualified unless such director shall resign, become disqualified or shall otherwise be removed in accordance with law.

 

At each annual election, the directors chosen to succeed those whose terms then expire shall be of the same class of the directors they succeed unless, by reason of any intervening changes in the authorized number of directors, the designated board shall designate one or more directorships whose term then expires as directorships of another class in order more nearly to achieve equality of number of directors among the classes.  If a director dies, resigns or is removed, the director chosen to fill the vacant directorship shall be of the same class as the director he or she succeeds, unless, by reason of any previous changes in the authorized number of directors, the Board shall designate such vacant directorship as a directorship of another class in order more nearly to achieve equality in the number of directors among the classes.

 

Notwithstanding the rule that the three classes shall be as nearly equal in number of directors as reasonably possible, in the event of any change in the authorized number of directors, each director then continuing to serve as such shall nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which such director is a member until the expiration of his or her current term or his or her prior death, resignation or removal.  If any newly created directorship may, consistently with the rule that the three classes shall be as nearly equal in number of directors as reasonably possible, be allocated to one of two or more classes, the Board shall allocate it to that of the available classes whose term of office is due to expire at the earliest date following such allocation.

 

4



 

Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors elected by all of the stockholders having the right to vote as a single class may, unless the Board of Directors determines otherwise, only be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director; provided, however, that if the holders of any class or classes of stock or series thereof are entitled to elect one or more directors, vacancies and newly created directorships of such class or classes or series may only be filled by a majority of the directors elected by such class or classes or series thereof then in office, or by a sole remaining director so elected.

 

SECTION 2.           Election of Directors by Preferred Stockholders .  During any period when the holders of any Preferred Stock or any one or more series thereof, voting as a class, shall be entitled to elect a specific number of directors, by reason of dividend arrearages or other provisions giving them the right to do so, then and during such time as such right continues (1) the then otherwise authorized number of directors shall be increased by such specified number of directors, and the holders of such Preferred Stock or such series thereof, voting as a class, shall be entitled to elect the additional directors so provided for, pursuant to the provisions of such Preferred Stock or series; (2) each such additional director shall serve for such term, and have such voting powers, as shall be stated in the provisions pertaining to such Preferred Stock or series; provided , however , that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such director’s term shall earlier expire upon the due election and qualification of a successor to such director or upon any resignation, disqualification or removal of such director in accordance with law.  Whenever the holders of shares of any series of Preferred Stock are divested of such rights to elect a specified number of directors pursuant to the resolution or resolutions of the Board creating such series and providing for the issuance of such shares, the terms of office of all directors elected by the holders of such series of Preferred Stock pursuant to such rights, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation or removal of directors so elected by the holders of such series of Preferred Stock, shall forthwith terminate and the authorized number of directors shall be reduced accordingly.

 

SECTION 3.           Stockholder Nominees .  Nominations by stockholders of persons for election to the Board shall be made only in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

 

SECTION 4.           Removal .  Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, any director, or the entire Board, may be removed from office with or without cause, at any time, and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Voting Stock then outstanding.

 

ARTICLE X

 

LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION

 

OF

 

SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

 

OF

 

DECKERS OUTDOOR CORPORATION

 

(pursuant to Section 151 of the Delaware General Corporation Law)

 

DOUGLAS OTTO and JOSEPH E. NIDA certify that:

 

1.             They are the President and Secretary, respectively, of DECKERS OUTDOOR CORPORATION , a Delaware corporation (the “ Corporation ”).

 

2.             The Corporation is authorized to issue FIVE MILLION (5,000,000) shares of preferred stock, none of which have been issued.

 

3.             The following resolutions were duly adopted by the Board of Directors:

 

WHEREAS , the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “ Certificate of Incorporation ”) of the Corporation provides for a class of its authorized stock known as preferred stock, comprising FIVE MILLION (5,000,000) shares, par value of one cent ($.01), issuable from time to time in one or more series;

 

WHEREAS , the Board of Directors of the Corporation is authorized to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including the dividend rights, dividend rate, voting rights, conversion rights, rights and terms of redemption and liquidation preferences of any wholly unissued series of preferred stock and the number of shares constituting any series and the designation thereof, of any of them; and

 

WHEREAS , the Corporation desires to issue one series of preferred stock, to be known as “ Series A Preferred Stock ,” and it is the desire of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, pursuant to its authority as aforesaid, to determine and fix the rights, preferences, privileges, restrictions and other matters relating to the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED , that the Board of Directors does hereby provide for the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock and does hereby fix and determine the rights, preferences, privileges, restrictions and other matters relating to the Series A Preferred Stock as follows:

 

1.             Designation .  The series of preferred stock shall consist of ONE MILLION THREE HUNDRED SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND (1,375,000) shares designated and known as “ Series A Preferred Stock ”.

 



 

2.             Voting .

 

(a)           The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of all stockholders meetings in accordance with the Corporation’s bylaws, and the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to the stockholders for a vote, voting together with the holders of the Common Stock as a single class, with each share of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to one vote per share, except for the election of or removal of directors, not including the director elected by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 2(b)  below.

 

(b)           At any meeting held for the purpose of electing directors (or in a written consent in lieu thereof), the presence in person or by proxy (or the written consent) of the holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall constitute a quorum of the Series A Preferred Stock for the election of one (1) director, who shall be elected by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and approved by the Corporation, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.  A vacancy in any directorship elected by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in this Section (2)(b)  shall be filled only by the vote or written consent of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, which replacement director shall be approved by the Corporation, the approval of which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

(c)           The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to have one additional person attend all regular and special meetings of the Board of Directors in an advisory and non-voting capacity.

 

(d)           The Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least Fifty One Percent (51%) of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock:

 

(i)            authorize or create any additional class or series of stock ranking prior to (the “ Senior Securities ”) or on a parity with (“ Parity Securities ”) the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation;

 

(ii)           change any of the rights, privileges or preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock;

 

(iii)          amend, alter or repeal the Certificate of Incorporation;

 

(iv)          increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the total number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock; or

 

(v)           take any action that would increase the authorized number of directors on the Board of Directors above seven (7).

 

3.             Dividends .

 

In the event that the Corporation declares or pays any dividends upon the Common Stock (whether payable in cash, securities or other property), the Corporation shall also declare and pay to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock at the same time that it declares and pays such dividends to the holders of the Common Stock, the dividends which would

 

2



 

have been declared and paid with respect to the Common Stock based on the number of shares into which a share of Series A Preferred Stock would be convertible on the record date for such dividend, or if no record date is fixed, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock entitled to such dividends are to be determined.

 

4.             Rights on Liquidation .  On any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of this Corporation, to the holders of any other capital stock or other equity securities of the Corporation, an amount equal to the greater of $4.00 per share or the amount that would have been distributed to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock if the holders had converted all of the Series A Preferred Stock to Common Stock immediately prior to the liquidation (the “ Liquidation Preference ”).  In the event that the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and any other Parity Securities entitled thereto are insufficient to permit full payment to the holders of such shares as herein provided, then such assets shall be distributed ratably among the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and Parity Securities entitled thereto in accordance with the respective liquidation preference of such securities.  In the event that the Corporation has additional assets available for distribution after payment to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock as herein provided, such assets shall be distributed to holders of securities whose terms provide specifically that such class of series of preferred stock will rank junior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to rights to receive payments of dividends and distributions upon liquidation or fails to specify the ranking of such class or series relative to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to rights to receive payments of dividends and distributions upon liquidation (“ Junior Securities ”).

 

5.             Conversion .

 

(a)           After three (3) years from the date of issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, and upon the election of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, and upon compliance with Section 5(b)  below as to surrender thereof, each share of Series A Preferred Stock may be converted into the number of shares of the Company’s fully paid, non-assessable Common Stock.  that is obtained by (i) multiplying each share of Series A Preferred Stock by $1.1013215 (the “ Conversion Rate ”) and (ii) effecting any additional adjustment required by Section 7(a) .

 

(b)           To convert any or all of its, his or her Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock, the holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates evidencing such Series A Preferred Stock, duly endorsed or assigned to the Corporation, accompanied by a written notice that the holder elects to convert such Series A Preferred Stock, stating therein the name or names in which the holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued.  As soon as practicable after the surrender of such certificates and subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, there shall be issued and delivered to such holder, or to the holder’s nominee or nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled, together with cash, if any, in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided in Section 5(e)  below.  Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made as of the date of such surrender of the certificate or certificates for Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, and on and after such date the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issued upon such

 

3



 

conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock.

 

(c)           Any Series A Preferred Stock which at any time has been converted shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock and shall in no circumstances be reissued as Series A Preferred Stock, and the Corporation may from time to time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized Series A Preferred Stock accordingly, including (assuming no shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding) amending the Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate therefrom any statement of rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions relating to the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

(d)           The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Common Stock, solely for issuance upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock as herein provided, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.

 

(e)           Upon any conversion, at the election of the Corporation, fractional shares shall not be issued but any fractions shall be adjusted by payment in cash by the Corporation on the basis of the market price of the Common Stock at the close of business on the date of conversion.  For purposes hereof, market price shall be determined as follows:

 

(i)            If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such an exchange, the market value shall be the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on such exchange on the date of conversion or, if no such sale is made on such day, the arithmetic mean of the highest bid and lowest asked prices for such day on such exchange; or

 

(ii)           If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges, the market value shall be, in the case of securities which are not designated as “ National Market ” securities, the arithmetic mean of the highest bid and lowest asked prices, and in the case of securities which are designated as “ National Market ” securities, the last reported sales price, in each case as quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market on the date of conversion; or

 

(iii)          If the security is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges and bid and asked prices are not reported, the current market value shall be determined in such reasonable manner as may be prescribed from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

 

The Corporation shall pay all issue taxes, if any, incurred in respect of the issue of shares of Common Stock on conversion; provided , however , that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any transfer or other taxes incurred by reason of the issuance of such shares of Common Stock in names other than those in which the Series A Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion is then registered.

 

(f)            In case the Corporation shall propose at any time to take any action described in Section 7 below, then, in each such case, the Corporation shall mail to the holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock at their last known post office addresses as

 

4



 

shown by the Corporation’s records a statement, signed by an officer of the Corporation, with respect to the proposed action, setting forth such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to inform the holders of Series A Preferred Stock as to the effect of such action upon their conversion rights.  Such statement shall be mailed at least twenty (20) days prior to the date of the taking of such action.

 

6.             Redemption .

 

(a)           At any time until three (3) years after the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation, at the option of the Board of Directors, may redeem in whole or in part the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, upon notice given as provided in subsection (b) below, at a per share price equal to Four Dollars ($4.00), plus 10% per annum compounded annually (the “ Redemption Price ”).

 

(b)           The Corporation may exercise its redemption right by written notice of the redemption to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, specifying the number of shares to be purchased and the total purchase price.  At the date described in the notice, which shall be within 20 days of the notice, the Corporation shall deliver to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed payment in immediately available funds for the shares to be redeemed.  Notice of every redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of record of the shares to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on the books of the Corporation.

 

(c)           The Corporation and the holders agree that they shall each not treat or deem the Series A Preferred Stock as “preferred stock” within the meaning of Section 305 of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

7.             Adjustments; Stock Dividends; Reclassification; Reorganization Merger .

 

(a)           If the Corporation increases or decreases the number of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, or changes in any way the rights and privileges of such shares, by means of (i) the payment of a stock dividend or the making of any other distribution on such shares payable in its Common Stock, (ii) a subdivision of shares, (iii) a consolidation or combination of shares or (iv) a reclassification or recapitalization involving its Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate in effect at the time of such action and the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible, along with the voting rights set forth in Section 2(a)  above, shall be adjusted to be the same as they would have been if such Series A Preferred Stock had been converted immediately prior to the occurrence of the event at issue and the shares of Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock was convertible immediately prior to the event at issue had been issued and outstanding at the time of such event.

 

(b)           If the Corporation declares a dividend payable in money on its Common Stock and at substantially the same time offers to the holders of Common Stock a right to purchase new shares of Common Stock from the proceeds of such dividend or for an amount substantially equal to such dividend, then the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the same subscription rights that such holders would have been entitled to if such holders had converted all of the Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock immediately

 

5



 

prior to such grant, and the Corporation shall notify the holders of Series A Preferred Stock of such right concurrently with notice to the holders of Common Stock of their subscription right.

 

(c)           If at any time the Corporation grants to the holders of Common Stock any right to subscribe pro rata for additional securities of the Corporation, whether Common Stock, convertible securities, or other classifications, or for any other securities or interests that a holder of Series A Preferred Stock would have been entitled to subscribe for if, immediately prior to such grant, such holder had converted Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock, and if such action by the Corporation does not result in a readjustment of the Conversion Rate under any other subsection of this Section 7 , then the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the same subscription rights that such holders would have been entitled to if such holders had converted all of the Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock immediately prior to such grant, and the Corporation shall notify the holders of Series A Preferred Stock of such right concurrently with notice to the holders of Common Stock of their subscription right.

 

(d)           In the event the Corporation shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Corporation or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights not referred to in Section 7(a)  above, then, in each such case for the purpose of this Section 7(d) , the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation into which their shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to receive such distribution.

 

(e)           Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, the Corporation shall cause any effective provision to be made so that each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter, by converting such Series A Preferred Stock, to acquire the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities, and property and interests, as would be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation into which the Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible as if such Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such event:  (i) the reclassification, capital reorganization or other similar change of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, other than as described and provided for in Section 7(a)  above; (ii) the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with one or more other corporations or other entities, other than a merger with a subsidiary or affiliate pursuant to which the Corporation is the surviving corporation and the outstanding shares of Common Stock, including the shares of Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible pursuant hereto, are not affected, or (iii) the spin-off of assets, a subsidiary, or an affiliated entity, or the sale, lease, or exchange of a significant portion of the Corporation’s assets, in a transaction pursuant to which the Corporation’s shareholders are to receive securities or other interests in a successor entity.  Any such provision made by the Corporation for adjustments with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock shall be as nearly equivalent to the adjustments otherwise provided for herein as is reasonably practicable.

 

6



 

(f)            If any Liquidation Event is proposed, in addition to the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock set forth in Section 4 above, the rights set forth herein shall be applicable.  The Corporation shall deliver written notice to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock no later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of such Liquidation Event as a condition precedent to the consummation of any such Liquidation Event.  If, as a result of such a Liquidation Event, shareholders of the Corporation are to receive securities or other interests of a successor entity, the provisions of Section 7(e)  above shall apply.  However, if the result of such a Liquidation Event is that shareholders of the Corporation are to receive money or property other than securities or other interest in a successor entity, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert such shares into Common Stock prior to the consummation of such Liquidation Event, and, with respect to any shares of Common Stock so acquired, shall be entitled to all of the rights of the other holders of Common Stock with respect to any distribution by the Corporation in connection with such Liquidation Event.  If no successor entity is involved and Section 7(e)  does not apply, all conversion rights provided for herein shall terminate at the close of business on the date as of which holders of record of the Common Stock shall be entitled to participate in a distribution of the assets of the Corporation in connection with such Liquidation Event; provided, however , that in no event shall that date be less than ten (10) days after delivery to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock of the written notice described above.  If the termination of conversion rights hereunder is to occur as a result of such Liquidation Event, a statement to that effect shall be included in that written notice.  Notwithstanding the termination of conversion rights in accordance with the foregoing, upon a Liquidation Event and liquidation of the Corporation, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to such rights as are provided in Section 4 above.

 

(g)           The provisions of this Section 7 shall apply to successive events that may occur from time to time but shall only apply to a particular event if it occurs prior to the redemption or conversion in full of the Series A Preferred Stock either by its terms or by its conversion.

 

(h)           Unless the context requires otherwise, whenever reference is made in this Section 7 to the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock, the term “ Common Stock ” shall mean (i) the par value ($.01) Common Stock of the Corporation, (ii) any other class of stock ranking on a parity with, and having substantially similar rights and privileges as, the Corporation’s par value ($.01) Common Stock and (iii) any security convertible into either (i) or (ii).

 

(i)            For purposes of the calculations and adjustments described in this Section 7 , shares of Common Stock owned or held at any relevant time by, or for the account of the Corporation, in its treasury or otherwise, shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes thereof.

 

RESOLVED, FURTHER , that the Chairman, the president or any vice- president, and the secretary or any assistant secretary, of the Corporation be and they hereby are authorized and directed to prepare and file a Certificate of Designation in accordance with the foregoing resolution and the provisions of Delaware law.”
