QUIKSILVER, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statement presentation.

Quiksilver, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) has included all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the second quarter (three months) ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 and for the first half (six months) ended April 30, 2013 and 2012. References to any particular fiscal year refer to the year ended October 31 of that year (for example, “fiscal 2013” refers to the year ending October 31, 2013). The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012 included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

 

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2013-02 requires presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and by net income line item. This new guidance is effective on a prospective basis for the Company on November 1, 2013. As this guidance only impacts the presentation and disclosure of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income, the adoption will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” ASU 2011-08 allows entities testing goodwill for impairment the option of performing a qualitative assessment to determine the likelihood of goodwill impairment and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step impairment test currently required. The updated guidance became effective for the Company on November 1, 2012. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2011-05 requires the components of net income and other comprehensive income to be either presented in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, which indefinitely defers the requirement to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented, while the FASB further deliberated this aspect of the proposal. While the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. Both issuances on the presentation of comprehensive income became effective for the Company on November 1, 2012. As this guidance only amends the presentation of the components of comprehensive income, the adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

4. Earnings per Share and Stock-Based Compensation

The Company reports basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, while diluted EPS additionally includes the dilutive effect of the Company’s outstanding stock options, warrants and shares of restricted stock computed using the treasury stock method.

For the second quarter ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, the shares used in computing diluted net loss per share do not include 4,389,000 and 4,080,000, respectively, of dilutive stock options and shares of restricted stock, nor 18,074,000 and 14,321,000, respectively, of dilutive warrant shares as the effect is anti-dilutive given the Company’s loss. For the second quarter ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, additional stock options outstanding of 6,252,000 and 10,264,000, respectively, and additional warrant shares outstanding of 7,580,000 and 11,333,000, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive based on the application of the treasury stock method. For the first half ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, the shares used in computing diluted net loss per share do not include 3,814,000 and 3,979,000, respectively, of dilutive stock options and shares of restricted stock, nor 16,833,000 and 13,349,000, respectively, of dilutive warrant shares as the effect is anti-dilutive given the Company’s loss. For the first half ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, additional stock options outstanding of 6,936,000 and 10,556,000, respectively, and additional warrant shares outstanding of 8,821,000 and 12,305,000, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive based on the application of the treasury stock method.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718 “Stock Compensation.” Stock-based compensation expense is included as selling, general and administrative expense for the period.

The Company has previously granted performance based restricted stock units and options to certain key employees and executives. The vesting of the restricted stock units is contingent upon a required service period as well as the Company’s achievement of a specified common stock price threshold. The vesting of the options is contingent upon a required service period as well as a combination of the Company’s achievement of specified annual performance targets and specified common stock price thresholds. The Company believes that the granting of these awards serves to further align the interests of its employees and executives with those of its stockholders. Based on the vesting contingencies in the awards, the Company uses a Monte-Carlo simulation in order to determine the grant date fair values of the awards. For the first half ended April 30, 2013, the assumptions used in the Monte-Carlo simulations for the restricted stock units granted included a risk-free interest rate of 0.4% to 0.6%, volatility of 64% to 89%, and zero dividend yield. The weighted average fair value of the restricted stock units granted for the first half ended April 30, 2013 was $4.12. There were no restricted stock unit grants during the first half ended April 30, 2012. There were no performance options granted during the first half ended April 30, 2013 or 2012.

As of April 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $1 million and $14 million of unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to the performance based options and the performance based restricted stock units, respectively. This unrecognized compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.5 years and 1.0 year, respectively.

For non-performance based options, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value compensation expense. Forfeitures are estimated at the date of grant based on historical rates and reduce the compensation expense recognized. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercises. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. For the first half ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, options granted were valued assuming a risk-free interest rate of 1.3%, volatility of 78% and 76%, respectively, zero dividend yield, and an expected life of 7.1 years. The weighted average fair value of the grants was $4.61 and $3.10 for the first half ended April 30, 2013 and 2012. The Company records stock-based compensation expense using the graded vested method over the vesting period, which is generally three years. As of April 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $1 million of unrecognized compensation expense for non-performance based options expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.3 years.

The Company also grants restricted stock and restricted stock units under its 2013 Performance Incentive Plan, which was approved by the Company’s stockholders in March 2013. Prior to March 2013, the Company issued restricted stock and restricted stock units under the Company’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan. Stock issued under both plans generally vests in three years. In March 2010, the Company’s stockholders approved a grant of three million shares of restricted stock to a Company sponsored athlete, Kelly Slater. In accordance with the terms of the related restricted stock agreement, the final 600,000 shares vested in April 2013.

Changes in restricted stock for the first half ended April 30, 2013 are as follows:

Compensation expense for restricted stock is determined using the intrinsic value method and forfeitures are estimated at the date of grant based on historical rates and reduce the compensation expense recognized. The Company monitors the probability of meeting the restricted stock performance criteria, if any, and adjusts the amortization period as appropriate. As of April 30, 2013, there had been no acceleration of amortization periods and the Company had approximately $0.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately one year.

Certain trademarks will continue to be amortized by the Company using estimated useful lives of 10 to 25 years with no residual values. Intangible amortization expense for the first half ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $1 million and $2 million, respectively. Annual amortization expense is estimated to be approximately $2 million through fiscal 2018. Licenses will no longer be amortized as they are fully amortized.

Goodwill decreased approximately $0.4 million during the first half ended April 30, 2013 due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

 

7. Income Taxes

Each reporting period, the Company evaluates the realizability of all of its deferred tax assets in each tax jurisdiction. As of April 30, 2013, the Company continued to maintain a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in the United States, as well as certain jurisdictions in its APAC and Corporate Operations segments. As a result of the valuation allowances recorded, no tax benefits have been recognized for losses incurred in those tax jurisdictions.

On April 30, 2013, the Company’s liability for uncertain tax positions was approximately $11 million resulting from unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties.

If the Company’s positions are favorably sustained by the relevant taxing authority, approximately $10 million, excluding interest and penalties, of uncertain tax position liabilities would favorably impact the Company’s effective tax rate in future periods.

During the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that the Company’s liability for uncertain tax positions may change by a significant amount as a result of the resolution or payment of uncertain tax positions related to intercompany transactions between foreign affiliates and certain foreign withholding tax exposures. Conclusion of these matters could result in settlement for different amounts than the Company has accrued as uncertain tax benefits. If a position that the Company concluded was more likely than not is subsequently reversed, the Company would need to accrue and ultimately pay an additional amount. Conversely, the Company could settle positions with the tax authorities for amounts lower than have been accrued or extinguish a position through payment. The Company believes the outcomes which are reasonably possible within the next 12 months range from a reduction of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $8 million to an increase of the liability of $2 million, excluding penalties and interest, for its existing tax positions.

8. Restructuring Charges

In connection with the globalization of its organizational structure and core processes, as well as its overall cost reduction efforts, the Company formulated the Fiscal 2013 Profit Improvement Plan (the “2013 Plan”). The 2013 Plan covers the global operations of the Company, and as the Company continues to evaluate its structure, processes and costs, additional charges may be incurred in the future under the 2013 Plan that are not yet determined. The 2013 Plan is, in effect, a continuation and acceleration of the Company’s Fiscal 2011 Cost Reduction Plan (the “2011 Plan”). The Company will no longer incur any new charges under the 2011 Plan, but will continue to make cash payments on amounts previously accrued under the 2011 Plan. All amounts charged to expense under the 2013 Plan and 2011 Plan were recorded in selling, general and administrative expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Activity and liability balances recorded as part of the 2013 Plan and 2011 Plan were as follows:

Of the amounts charged to expense during the six months ended April 30, 2013, approximately $2.5 million, $0.4 million, $0.1 million and $2.4 million were related to the Americas segment, EMEA segment, APAC segment and Corporate operations segment, respectively.

The Company also recorded approximately $3 million of additional inventory reserves within cost of goods sold during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 related to certain non-core brands and peripheral product categories that have been discontinued, which are not reflected in the table above.

Additionally, the Company recorded severance charges of approximately $3 million within selling, general and administrative expense during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 which were unrelated to the 2013 Plan or the 2011 Plan.

As of April 30, 2013, the Company’s credit facilities allowed for total cash borrowings and letters of credit of $329 million. The total maximum borrowings and actual availability fluctuate with the amount of assets comprising the borrowing base under certain of the credit facilities. At April 30, 2013, the Company had a total of $129 million of direct borrowings and $69 million in letters of credit outstanding. As of April 30, 2013, the effective availability for borrowings remaining under the Company’s credit facilities was $67 million, $18 million of which could also be used for letters

of credit in the United States. In addition to the $67 million of effective availability for borrowings, the Company also had $64 million in additional capacity for letters of credit in EMEA and APAC as of April 30, 3013. Many of the Company’s debt agreements contain customary default provisions and restrictive covenants, including certain cross default provisions between the Americas credit facility and the Americas term loan. The Company is currently in compliance with such covenants.

On May 24, 2013, the Company entered into an amended and restated asset-based credit facility. This new facility covers a majority of the Company’s operations in both its Americas and APAC segments. As a result of this agreement, the APAC credit facility balances at April 30, 2013 of approximately $15 million were reclassified from current liabilities to non-current liabilities on the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. For further details regarding the Company’s new credit agreement, refer to Note 14, “Subsequent Events.”

The estimated fair value of the Company’s borrowings under lines of credit and long-term debt as of April 30, 2013 was $833 million, compared to carrying value of $814 million. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is calculated based on the market price of the Company’s publicly traded U.S. senior notes and the trading price of the Company’s European senior notes, both of which are level 1 inputs, as well as the carrying values of the Company’s other debt obligations.

The carrying value of the Company’s trade accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the fixed assets is determined using a discounted cash flow model which requires level 3 inputs.

 

10. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relating to certain sales, royalty income and product purchases of its international subsidiaries that are denominated in currencies other than their functional currencies. The Company is also exposed to foreign currency gains and losses resulting from domestic transactions that are not denominated in US dollars. Furthermore, the Company is exposed to gains and losses resulting from the effect that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have on the reported results in the Company’s consolidated financial statements due to the translation of the operating results and financial position of the Company’s international subsidiaries. As part of its overall strategy to manage the level of exposure to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company uses various foreign currency exchange contracts and intercompany loans.

The Company accounts for all of its cash flow hedges under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” which requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company designates forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted purchases of commodities.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. As of April 30, 2013, the Company was hedging forecasted transactions expected to occur through October 2014. Assuming April 30, 2013 exchange rates remain constant, $4 million of gains, net of tax, related to hedges of these transactions are expected to be reclassified into earnings over the next eighteen months.

On the date the Company enters into a derivative contract, management designates the derivative as a hedge of the identified exposure. Before entering into various hedge transactions, the Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and strategy. In this documentation, the Company identifies the asset, liability, firm commitment, or forecasted transaction that has been designated as a hedged item and indicates how the hedging instrument is expected to hedge the risks related to the hedged item. The Company formally measures effectiveness of its hedging relationships both at the hedge inception and on an ongoing basis in accordance with its risk management policy. The Company would discontinue hedge accounting prospectively (i) if management determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of a hedged item, (ii) when the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, (iii) if it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction being hedged by the derivative will not occur, (iv) because a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment, or (v) if management determines that designation of the derivative as a hedge instrument is no longer appropriate.

The Company enters into forward exchange and other derivative contracts with major banks and is exposed to exchange rate losses in the event of non-performance by these banks. The Company anticipates, however, that these banks will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. Accordingly, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support the contracts.

As of April 30, 2013, the Company had the following outstanding derivative contracts that were entered into to hedge forecasted purchases and future cash receipts:

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels. Based on the underlying inputs, each fair value measurement in its entirety is reported in one of the three levels. These levels are:

 

15


Table of Contents
   

Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities traded in an active exchange market, as well as US Treasury securities.

 

   

Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 3 – Valuation is determined using model-based techniques with significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of third party pricing services, option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

The Company’s derivative assets and liabilities include foreign exchange derivatives that are measured at fair value using observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, the Company’s credit risk and the Company’s counterparties’ credit risks. Based on these inputs, the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

The following tables reflect the fair values of assets and liabilities measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of the dates indicated:

12. Litigation, Indemnities and Guarantees

As part of its global operations, the Company may be involved in legal claims involving trademarks, intellectual property, licensing, employment matters, compliance, contracts and other matters incidental to its business. The Company believes the resolution of any such matter currently threatened or pending will not have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

During its normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These include (i) intellectual property indemnities to the Company’s customers and licensees in connection with the use, sale and/or license of the Company’s products, (ii) indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facilities or leases, (iii) indemnities to vendors and service providers pertaining to claims based on the negligence or willful misconduct of the Company, and (iv) indemnities involving the accuracy of representations and warranties in certain contracts. The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies and, in certain cases, may be indefinite. The majority of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential for future payments the Company could be obligated to make. The Company has not recorded any liability for these indemnities, commitments and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

14. Subsequent Events

On May 24, 2013, Quiksilver, Inc., as a guarantor, QS Wholesale, Inc., as lead borrower, and certain other U.S., Canadian, Australian and Japanese subsidiaries of Quiksilver, Inc., as borrowers (collectively, the “Borrower”) and/or as guarantors, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”), and the lenders and other agents party thereto (the “Revolving Facility”), which amended and restated the existing asset-based credit facility for Quiksilver, Inc.’s Americas operations.

Under the Revolving Facility, the amount to be extended to the Borrower is limited to the lesser of (i) $160 million in the case of U.S. borrowers; $30 million in the case of the Canadian borrower; $25 million in the case of the Australian borrower; or $15 million in the case of the Japanese borrower (with a Borrower option to expand the aggregate commitments by up to an additional $125 million on certain conditions) and (ii) a borrowing base calculated upon designated percentages of eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and, in the case of U.S. and Canadian borrowers, eligible credit card receivables of the applicable borrowers and guarantors, less customary reserves. The Revolving Facility includes a $92.5 million sublimit for U.S. letters of credit; a $12.5 million sublimit for Canadian letters of credit; a $25 million sublimit for Australian letters of credit; and a $15 million sublimit for Japanese letters of credit. Outstanding loans generally may be repaid in whole or in part at any time, without penalty, subject to certain customary limitations. The Revolving Facility has a term of five years; provided that, if the U.S. senior notes or any applicable indebtedness incurred to refinance such notes or the European senior notes or any applicable indebtedness incurred to refinance such notes are not refinanced or redeemed at least 91 days prior to their applicable scheduled maturity date, the Revolving Facility shall become automatically due and payable 91 days prior to such applicable scheduled maturity date.

In the case of U.S. borrowers, the interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Facility is determined, at the Borrower’s option, as either: (i) an adjusted London Inter-Bank Offer (“LIBO”) rate plus a spread of 1.75% to 2.25%; or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined below) plus a spread of 0.75% to 1.75%. The Base Rate is the highest of (A) the U.S. prime rate, (B) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, and (C) an adjusted LIBO rate for an interest period of one month plus 1% per annum. In the case of the Canadian borrower, the interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Facility is determined, at the Canadian borrower’s option, as any of: (i) an adjusted LIBO rate plus a spread of 1.75% to 2.25% (if U.S. Dollar loans); or (ii) a Canadian Base Rate (as defined below) plus a spread of 0.75% to 1.75%; or (iii) a bankers’ acceptance equivalent rate plus a spread of 1.75% to 2.25%; or (iv) a Canadian Prime Rate (as defined below) plus a spread of 0.75% to 1.75%. The Canadian Base Rate is the highest of (A) the base rate for U.S. Dollar-denominated commercial loans made in Canada, (B) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, and (C) an adjusted LIBO rate for an interest period of one month plus 1% per annum. The Canadian Prime Rate is the highest of (A) the Canadian prime rate, (B) the Bank of Canada overnight rate plus 0.5%, and (C) a bankers’ acceptance equivalent rate for an interest period of 30 days plus 1% per annum. In the case of the Australian borrower, the interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Facility is determined, at the Australian borrower’s option, as any

 

18


Table of Contents

of: (i) an adjusted LIBO rate plus a spread of 1.75% to 2.25% (if U.S. Dollar loans); or (ii) an Australian Base Rate (as defined below) plus a spread of 0.75% to 1.75%; or (iii) the Australian bank bill rate plus a spread of 1.75% to 2.25%. The Australian Base Rate is the higher of (A) the “cash rate” determined by the Australian Reserve Bank Board at which banks borrow from each other on an overnight, unsecured basis and (B) the Australian bank bill rate for an interest period of one month plus 1% per annum. In the case of the Japanese borrower, the interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Facility is determined, at the Japanese borrower’s option, as any of: (i) a Tokyo interbank offered (“TIBOR”) rate plus a spread of 1.75% to 2.25%; or (ii) a Japanese Base Rate (as defined below) plus a spread of 0.75% to 1.75%. The Japanese Base Rate is the higher of (A) the “basic loan rate” established by the Bank of Japan and (B) the TIBOR rate for an interest period of one month plus 1% per annum. The applicable spreads are based upon the average daily excess availability under the Revolving Facility. The applicable rate of interest under the Revolving Facility will increase by 2% during an event of default.

The Revolving Facility is guaranteed by Quiksilver, Inc. and its domestic, Canadian, Australian and Japanese subsidiaries (other than immaterial subsidiaries) (collectively, the “Guarantors”), except that Canadian, Australian and Japanese subsidiaries of Quiksilver, Inc. do not guarantee the obligations of the U.S. loan parties. The obligations of the Borrower under the Revolving Facility generally are secured by (i) subject to certain exceptions, a first priority security interest in the inventory and accounts receivable of the Borrower and the Guarantors, together with general intangibles (excluding intellectual property rights) and other property related to the inventory and accounts receivable, (ii) subject to certain exceptions, a security interest in substantially all other personal property of the Borrower and Guarantors (which security interest is a second priority security interest in the case of the U.S. loan parties) and (iii) subject to certain exceptions, a pledge of the shares of certain subsidiaries of the Borrower and Guarantors (which pledge is a second priority pledge in the case of the U.S. loan parties), except that the assets of the Canadian, Australian and Japanese subsidiaries of Quiksilver, Inc. do not secure the obligations of the U.S. loan parties.

The Revolving Facility contains customary default provisions and provides that, upon the occurrence of an event of default relating to the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Borrower or other subsidiaries, the unpaid balance of the principal and accrued interest under the Revolving Facility and all other obligations of the Borrower under the loan documents will become immediately due and payable without any action under the Revolving Facility. Upon the occurrence of any other event of default (which would include a default under other material indebtedness), the Agent may, by written notice, declare the unpaid balance of the principal and accrued interest under the Revolving Facility and all other obligations under the loan documents immediately due and payable without any further action.

The Revolving Facility also includes certain representations and warranties and restrictive covenants usual for facilities and transactions of this type. The Revolving Facility does not have a financial maintenance covenant, other than a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 that would only apply if aggregate excess availability under the Revolving Facility is less than the greater of (a) $15 million and (b) 10% of the lesser of the borrowing base and the aggregate Revolving Facility commitments at such time; provided that, for such purposes Australian excess availability and Japanese excess availability shall not account for more than 40% of aggregate excess availability. The Borrower paid customary agency, arrangement and upfront fees in connection with the Revolving Facility.

 

15. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

The Company has $400 million in publicly registered U.S. senior notes. Obligations under the Company’s U.S. senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of its existing domestic subsidiaries.

The Company is required to present condensed consolidating financial information for Quiksilver, Inc. and its domestic subsidiaries within the notes to the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the criteria established for parent companies in the SEC’s Regulation S-X,

Table of Contents

Rule 3-10(f). The following condensed consolidating financial information presents the results of operations for the second quarter and first half ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, the financial position as of April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012, and cash flows for the first half ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, of Quiksilver Inc., its 100% owned guarantor subsidiaries, its non-guarantor subsidiaries and the eliminations necessary to arrive at the information for the Company on a consolidated basis. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. Certain immaterial balances have been reclassified in the April 30, 2012 condensed consolidating financial information to conform to the current year presentation. The Company has applied the estimated consolidated annual effective income tax rate to both the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries, adjusting for any discrete items, for interim reporting purposes. In the Company’s consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2013, management will apply the actual income tax rates to both the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries. These interim tax rates may differ from the actual annual effective income tax rates for both the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Unless the context indicates otherwise, when we refer to “Quiksilver”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company” in this Form 10-Q, we are referring to Quiksilver, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. The information contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q is not a complete description of our business or the risks associated with an investment in our securities. We urge you to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2012 and subsequent reports on Form 8-K, which discuss our business in greater detail. The section entitled “Risk Factors” set forth in Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and similar disclosures in our other SEC filings, discuss some of the important risk factors that may affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. You should carefully consider those risks, in addition to the information in this report and in our other filings with the SEC, before deciding to invest in, or maintain your investment in, our common stock or senior notes.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by words such as: “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “seek,” “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “expect,” “outlook,” “strategy,” “future,” “likely,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “will” and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding:

 

   

current or future volatility in certain economies, credit markets and future market conditions;

 

   

our belief that we have sufficient liquidity to fund our business operations during the next twelve months; and

 

   

our expectations regarding the implementation of our recently announced multi-year profit improvement plan.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

 

   

our ability to execute our mission and strategies;

 

   

our ability to achieve the financial results that we anticipate;

 

   

our ability to successfully implement our multi-year profit improvement plan;

 

   

our ability to effectively transition our supply chain and certain other business processes to global scope;

 

   

future expenditures for capital projects, including the ongoing implementation of our global enterprise-wide reporting system;

 

   

increases in production costs and raw materials and disruptions in the supply chains for these materials;

 

   

deterioration of global economic conditions and credit and capital markets;

 

   

potential non-cash asset impairment charges for goodwill or other fixed assets;

 

   

our ability to continue to maintain our brand image and reputation;

 

   

foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;

 

   

our ability to remain compliant with our debt covenants;

disruptions to our computer systems and software, as well as natural events such as severe weather, fires, floods and earthquakes or man-made or other disruptions of our operating systems, structures or equipment.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this report is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net (loss)/income attributable to Quiksilver, Inc. before (i) interest expense, (ii) provision/(benefit) for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) non-cash stock-based compensation expense and (v) asset impairments. Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We use Adjusted EBITDA, along with other GAAP measures, as a measure of profitability because Adjusted EBITDA helps us to compare our performance on a consistent basis by removing from our operating results the impact of our capital structure, the effect of operating in different tax jurisdictions, the impact of our asset base, which can differ depending on the book value of assets, the accounting methods used to compute depreciation and amortization, the existence or timing of asset impairments and the effect of non-cash stock-based compensation expense. We believe EBITDA is useful to investors as it is a widely used measure of performance and the adjustments we make to EBITDA provide further clarity on our profitability. We remove the effect of non-cash stock-based compensation from our earnings which can vary based on share price, share price volatility and the expected life of the equity instruments we grant. In addition, this stock-based compensation expense does not result in cash payments by us. We remove the effect of asset impairments from Adjusted EBITDA for the same reason that we remove depreciation and amortization as it is part of the impact of our asset base. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a profitability measure in that it does not include the interest expense on our debts, our provisions for income taxes, the effect of our expenditures for capital assets and certain intangible assets, the effect of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and the effect of asset impairments. The following is a reconciliation of net loss attributable to Quiksilver, Inc. to Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter and first half ended April 30, 2013 and 2012:

Revenues, net – by Segment

The following table presents consolidated net revenues (in millions) by segment in historical currency (as reported) for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and 2012:

Net Revenues by Segment in Historical Currency (as reported):

 

     Americas     EMEA     APAC     Corporate      Total

% increase/(decrease)

     3     (16 )%      (14 )%         (7 )% 

We use constant currency measurements to better understand actual growth rates in our foreign operations. Constant currency measurements remove the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations from period to period. Constant currency is calculated by taking the ending foreign currency exchange rate (for balance sheet items) or the average foreign currency exchange rate (for income statement items) used in translation for the current period and applying that same rate to the prior period. Net revenues (in millions) by segment in constant currency for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

Net Revenues by Segment in Constant Currency (current year exchange rates):

 

     Americas     EMEA     APAC     Corporate      Total

% increase/(decrease)

     4     (14 )%      (9 )%         (5 )% 

On an as reported basis, total net revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased 7% to $459 million from $492 million in the comparable period of the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to a $30 million, or 16%, net revenue decrease within our EMEA segment and a $10 million, or 14%, decrease in our APAC segment, partially offset by an $8 million, or 3%, increase in our Americas segment.

Net revenues in our Americas segment increased primarily due to strong sales of Roxy products as well as increased clearance sales of DC products in the wholesale channel, partially offset by lower retail channel net revenues from Company-owned retail stores due to 12 net store closures since the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

Net revenues in our EMEA segment decreased across all three core brands (Quiksilver, Roxy and DC), primarily within the wholesale channel The $30 million decline in net revenue in EMEA was driven by three primary factors: a) approximately $16 million was attributable to unanticipated shipping delays associated with our implementation of SAP that resulted in canceled orders from wholesale accounts; b) poor weather that impacted key markets; and c) continuing economic difficulties in the region. Net revenues decreased most significantly in Spain where net revenues declined in the high-twenties on a percentage basis. Net revenues also declined in the high-single digits on a percentage basis in France and in the low-double digits on a percentage basis in Germany.

Net revenues in the APAC segment decreased across our Quiksilver and Roxy brands, as well as within our wholesale and retail channels. These decreases were partially offset by continued growth in our DC brand and within our e-commerce channel. Net revenues from Australia, New Zealand and Japan declined in the low-twenties on a percentage basis versus the prior year, although the decline in Japan was only high-single digits in constant currency. These declines were partially offset by net revenue growth in all other APAC countries.

Net revenues in our emerging markets, which include Brazil, Mexico, Russia, Taiwan, Korea, China and Indonesia increased by 7% versus the prior year (13% in constant currency).

% (decrease)/increase

     (10 )%      (4 )%      1     4     (5 )% 

Quiksilver brand net revenues decreased 12% on an as reported basis during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to a low-double digit percentage decline in wholesale channel net revenues and a high-single digit percentage decline in retail channel net revenues. The wholesale and retail net revenue decreases were spread across all three regional segments, but were focused largely in the EMEA segment.

Roxy brand net revenues decreased 6% on an as reported basis due to low-twenties percentage decreases in both EMEA and APAC. These decreases occurred in both the wholesale and retail channels, but were more prominent within the wholesale channel. These decreases were partially offset by a high-teens percentage increase in the Americas segment, particularly within the wholesale channel.

DC brand net revenues decreased slightly on an as reported basis with growth in the Americas and APAC segments offset by a high-single digit percentage decline in the EMEA segment. DC net revenue growth in the Americas was driven by increased clearance sales. Significant DC net revenue growth within the retail and e-commerce channels was offset by a decrease in wholesale net revenues, particularly within EMEA.

Revenues, net – By Channel

Table of Contents

Wholesale net revenues decreased 9% on an as reported basis in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 versus the prior year period. Wholesale net revenues declined in the EMEA and APAC segments and across all three core brands. Wholesale net revenues increased in the Americas segment primarily due to strong Roxy product sales.

Retail net revenues decreased 7% on an as reported basis versus the prior year. Retail net revenues decreased across all three regional segments and across the Quiksilver and Roxy brands, while the DC brand showed strong growth. Retail same-store sales declined 4% with single-digit percentage decreases in all three regional segments during the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

E-commerce net revenues increased 29% on an as reported basis versus the prior year period due to significant growth in EMEA and APAC as we expanded our online business within these segments.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased to $211 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 from $242 million in the comparable period of the prior year. Gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of net revenues) decreased to 46.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 from 49.2% in the prior year period. The gross margin decrease was primarily due to four factors: a) increased discounting and clearance sales of our DC brand within our wholesale channel to clear slow-selling product, primarily in the Americas segment; b) increased discounting in our EMEA segment across all three core brands associated with shipping delays encountered with our implementation of SAP; c) $3 million of additional inventory reserves recorded related to certain non-core brands and peripheral product categories that were discontinued; and d) a net revenue mix shift from the higher gross margin EMEA segment toward the lower gross margin Americas segment. These unfavorable factors were partially offset by improved gross margin in the APAC segment, particularly within the retail channel and the Roxy and Quiksilver brands. We expect the discounting and clearance sales related to our DC brand to continue into the second half of fiscal 2013. However, the SAP issues experienced within the EMEA segment and the additional inventory reserves recorded are expected to be isolated within the second quarter.

Gross margin by segment for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

Consolidated

     46.0     49.2     (320) bp   

The gross margin decreases in our Americas and EMEA segments were primarily the result of increased sales discounts in our wholesale channel, especially related to DC in the Americas and both Quiksilver and Roxy in EMEA. Our APAC segment gross margin increased primarily as a result of improved full-price selling within our retail channel.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense (“SG&A”)

SG&A for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased 3% to $218 million from $224 million in the comparable period of the prior year. This decrease was primarily attributable to the favorable impact of our expense reduction efforts implemented in the past year (approximately $9 million) and a favorable impact from foreign currency exchange rates (approximately $4 million). These decreases were partially offset by an increase in e-commerce expenses (approximately $6 million) associated with the continuing growth of our online business.

Asset Impairments

Asset impairment charges were $5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to $0.4 million in the prior year period. Impairment charges were related to certain underperforming retail stores and certain other assets associated with non-core brands that we have discontinued.

Non-Operating Expenses

Interest expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was $15 million compared to $16 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

Our foreign currency gain amounted to $3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to $1 million in the comparable period of the prior year. This gain resulted primarily from the foreign currency exchange effect of certain non-euro denominated assets of our European subsidiaries and, to a lesser extent, certain foreign currency exchange contracts.

Our income tax expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 was $7 million. Although we incurred a net loss during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and 2012, we incurred income tax expense as we were unable to record tax benefits against the losses in certain jurisdictions where we have previously recorded valuation allowances.

Net Loss Attributable to Quiksilver, Inc.

Our net loss attributable to Quiksilver, Inc. for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was $32 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to $5 million, or $0.03 per share, in the comparable period of the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $12 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to $38 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. This decrease was primarily due to the net revenue and gross margin declines, partially offset by SG&A reductions. For a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of net loss attributable to Quiksilver, Inc. to Adjusted EBITDA, see footnote (1) to the table under “Results of Operations” above.

On an as reported basis, total net revenues for the first half of fiscal 2013 decreased 6% to $890 million from $942 million in the comparable period of the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to a $28 million, or 8%, net revenue decrease within our EMEA segment and a $12 million, or 8%, decrease in our APAC segment.

Net revenues in our Americas segment declined across our Quiksilver and DC brands, and also within our wholesale and retail channels. The net revenue decrease in the Americas was primarily due to lower net revenues in our Company-owned retail stores due to 12 net store closures since the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2012; and increased markdown allowances and sales discounts to wholesale customers to assist the sell-through of inventory in this channel.

Net revenues in our EMEA segment decreased across all three core brands (Quiksilver, Roxy and DC), and also across our wholesale and retail channels. These decreases were partially offset by continued growth in our e-commerce channel. The $28 million decline in net revenue in EMEA during the first half of fiscal 2013 was driven by three primary factors: a) approximately $16 million was attributable to unanticipated shipping delays associated with our implementation of SAP that resulted in canceled orders from wholesale accounts; b) poor weather that impacted key markets; and c) continuing economic difficulties in the region. Net revenues decreased most significantly in Spain where net revenues declined in the low-twenties on a percentage basis. Net revenues declined in the high-single digits on a percentage basis in France. These decreases were partially offset by low-single digit percentage increases in the United Kingdom, due largely to e-commerce growth, and Germany.

Net revenues in the APAC segment decreased across our Quiksilver and Roxy brands as well as within our wholesale and retail channels. These decreases were partially offset by continued growth within our DC brand and our e-commerce channel. Net revenues from Australia, New Zealand and Japan declined in the low-teens on a percentage basis versus the prior year, although the decline in Japan was only low-single digits in constant currency. These declines were partially offset by net revenue growth in other APAC countries.

Net revenues in our emerging markets, which include Brazil, Mexico, Russia, Taiwan, Korea, China and Indonesia increased by 7% versus the prior year (14% in constant currency).

Quiksilver brand net revenues decreased 10% on an as reported basis during the first half of fiscal 2013 compared to the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to a low-double digit percentage decline in wholesale channel net revenues and a high-single digit percentage decline in retail channel net revenues. The wholesale and retail net revenue decreases were spread across all three regional segments, but were most significant in the EMEA and APAC segments.

Roxy brand net revenues decreased 7% on an as reported basis due to high-single digit percentage declines in the wholesale and retail channels. These decreases were spread across all three regional segments, but were most significant in the wholesale channel within the EMEA and APAC segments.

DC brand net revenues decreased slightly on an as reported basis with growth in the APAC segment offset by low-single digit percentage declines in the EMEA and Americas segments. Significant DC brand growth within the retail and e-commerce channels was offset by a decrease in wholesale channel net revenues, particularly within EMEA.

Revenues, net – By Channel

Net revenues by channel (in millions), in both historical and constant currency, for the first half of fiscal 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

Wholesale net revenues decreased 9% on an as reported basis in the first half of fiscal 2013 versus the prior year period. Wholesale net revenues declined in all three regional segments and across all three core brands, but were most significant within EMEA.

Retail net revenues decreased 4% on an as reported basis versus the prior year period. Retail net revenues decreased across all three regional segments and across the Quiksilver and Roxy brands, while the DC brand showed relatively strong growth. Retail same-store sales declined 2% for the first half of fiscal 2013.

E-commerce net revenues increased 35% versus the prior year period. E-commerce net revenues increased in all three regional segments and across all three core brands, but was largely focused in EMEA and APAC, as we expanded our online business within these segments.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased to $431 million in the first half of fiscal 2013 from $470 million in the comparable period of the prior year. Gross margin decreased to 48.4% in the first half of fiscal 2013 from 49.9% in the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to increased sales discounts relating to the DC brand

and the EMEA segment. The net revenue mix shift from the higher gross margin EMEA segment toward the lower gross margin Americas segment also contributed to the gross margin decline. These unfavorable factors were partially offset by a net revenue mix shift from our wholesale channel toward our higher gross margin retail and e-commerce channels, as well as improved retail margins within our APAC and Americas segments.

Gross margin by segment for the first half of fiscal 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

 

     2013   2012   Basis Point

Americas

   41.8%   43.5%   (170) bp

Consolidated

   48.4%   49.9%   (150) bp   

The gross margin decreases in our Americas and EMEA segments were primarily the result of increased sales discounts in our wholesale channel, especially related to DC in the Americas and both Quiksilver and Roxy in EMEA. Our APAC segment gross margin increased primarily as a result of improved full-price selling within our retail channel.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

SG&A for the first half of fiscal 2013 decreased 2% to $443 million from $454 million in the comparable period of the prior year. This decrease was primarily attributable to the favorable impact of our expense reduction efforts implemented in the past year (approximately $18 million) and reduced retail expenses primarily associated with the closure of underperforming stores (approximately $4 million). These decreases were partially offset by an increase in e-commerce expenses associated with the continuing growth of our online business (approximately $9 million) and higher bad debt expenses (approximately $6 million) driven primarily by a credit in the prior year.

Asset Impairments

Asset impairment charges were $9 million in the first half of fiscal 2013 compared to $0.4 million in the prior year period. Impairment charges were related to certain underperforming retail stores, discontinued brands and trademarks associated with those brands.

Non-Operating Expenses

Interest expense for the first half of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 was $31 million.

Our foreign currency loss amounted to $1 million for the first half of fiscal 2013 compared to a gain of $2 million in the comparable period of the prior year. This loss resulted primarily from the foreign currency exchange effect of certain non-euro denominated assets of our European subsidiaries.

Our income tax expense for the first half of fiscal 2013 was $10 million compared to $12 million in the comparable period of the prior year. Although we incurred a net loss during the first half of fiscal 2013 and 2012, we incurred income tax expense as we were unable to record tax benefits against the losses in certain jurisdictions where we have previously recorded valuation allowances.

Net Loss Attributable to Quiksilver, Inc.

Our net loss attributable to Quiksilver, Inc. for the first half of fiscal 2013 was $64 million, or $0.38 per share, compared to $28 million, or $0.17 per share, in the comparable period of the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $22 million in the first half of fiscal 2013 compared to $55 million in the first half of fiscal 2012. This decrease was primarily due to the net revenue and gross margin declines, partially offset by SG&A reductions. For a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of net loss attributable to Quiksilver, Inc. to Adjusted EBITDA, see footnote (1) to the table under “Results of Operations” above.

2013 Profit Improvement Plan

In May 2013, we announced a multi-year profit improvement plan designed to accelerate our three fundamental strategies of strengthening brands, growing sales and driving operational efficiencies. The plan’s initiatives focus on prioritizing our three core brands, globalizing key functions and reducing our cost structure.

Important elements of the multi-year profit improvement plan include:

 

  clarifying the positioning of our three flagship brands (Quiksilver, Roxy and DC);

 

  consider divesting certain non-core brands;

 

  globalizing product design and merchandising;

 

  consider licensing of secondary or peripheral product categories;

 

  reprioritization of marketing investments to emphasize in-store and print marketing along with digital and social media;

 

  continued investment in emerging markets and E-commerce;

 

  improving sales execution;

 

  supply chain optimization;

 

  reduction of SKUs;

 

  centralizing global responsibility for key functions, including product design, supply chain, marketing, retail stores, licensing and administrative functions; and

 

  closing underperforming retail stores, reorganizing wholesale sales operations and implementing greater pricing discipline.

We expect that the plan, when fully implemented in 2016, could improve Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $150 million, of which approximately one-half will come from supply chain optimization and the other half primarily from corporate overhead reductions, licensing opportunities, net revenue growth and improved pricing management, compared with 2012 results.

On May 24, 2013, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., and the lenders and other agents party thereto (the “Revolving Facility”), which amends and restates the existing asset-based credit facility in our Americas segment. The Revolving Facility encompasses entities within both our Americas and APAC segments. Under the Revolving Facility, our borrowings are limited to the lesser of (i) $230 million in aggregate, with sublimits for specific entities (with an option to expand the aggregate commitments by up to an additional $125 million on certain conditions) and (ii) a borrowing base calculated upon designated percentages of eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and, in the case of U.S. and Canadian borrowers, eligible credit card receivables. The Revolving Facility includes a $145 million total sublimit for letters of credit, with smaller sublimits applicable to specific entities. The Revolving Facility has a term of five years. The Revolving Facility is guaranteed by Quiksilver, Inc. and our domestic, Canadian, Australian and Japanese subsidiaries (other than immaterial subsidiaries), except that our Canadian, Australian and Japanese subsidiaries do not guarantee the obligations of the domestic loan parties. The obligations under the Revolving Facility are, subject to certain exceptions, generally secured by (i) a first priority security interest in our domestic, Canadian, Australian and Japanese inventory and accounts receivable, (ii) a security interest in substantially all of our other domestic, Canadian, Australian and Japanese personal property (which security interest is a second priority security interest in the case of the domestic loan parties) and (iii) a pledge of the shares of certain of our subsidiaries, except that the assets of our Canadian, Australian and Japanese subsidiaries do not secure the obligations of the domestic loan parties.

We believe that our cash flows from operations, together with our existing credit facilities, cash on hand and term loans will be adequate to fund our operations and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Cash Flows

Operating activities used cash of $18 million in both the first half ended April 30, 2013 and in the comparable period of the prior year.

Capital expenditures totaled $29 million for the first half of fiscal 2013 compared to $34 million in the comparable period of the prior year. These investments include our ongoing enterprise-wide reporting system (SAP) and investments in company-owned stores.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $59 million in the first half of fiscal 2013 compared to $42 million in the comparable period of the prior year. Net cash provided primarily resulted from net borrowings on our existing credit facilities.

Table of Contents

The net increase in cash and cash equivalents for the first half of fiscal 2013 was $6 million compared to a decrease of $31 million in the comparable period of the prior year.

Working Capital — Trade Accounts Receivable and Inventories

Two of the primary components of our working capital and near-term sources of cash at any point in time are trade accounts receivable and inventories. Our net trade accounts receivable decreased 13% to $375 million at April 30, 2013 compared to $434 million at October 31, 2012 due to the typical seasonality of our business. Compared to April 30, 2012, our net trade accounts receivable increased by 1% and our average days sales outstanding (“DSO”) increased 10%. The increase in DSO was driven by the timing of customer payments, longer credit terms granted to certain wholesale customers, and the net revenue decrease during the first half of fiscal 2013.

Our net inventories increased 6% to $366 million at April 30, 2013 compared to $345 million at October 31, 2012. Compared to April 30, 2012, net inventories increased 2% and inventory days on hand increased 3%. These increases were primarily due to the net revenue decline in the wholesale channel during the first half of fiscal 2013, resulting in slightly higher ending inventories than planned. Inventory from prior seasons was 10% of total inventory at April 30, 2013 compared to 14% at April 30, 2012. We do not currently expect the clearance of these inventories to have a material negative impact on our year over year gross margin comparisons for the second half of fiscal 2013.

Income Taxes

As of April 30, 2013, our liability for uncertain tax positions, exclusive of interest and penalties, was approximately $11 million. If our positions are favorably sustained by the relevant taxing authority, approximately $10 million, excluding interest and penalties, of uncertain tax position liabilities would favorably impact our effective tax rate in future periods.

Contractual Obligations

As discussed above, on May 24, 2013, we entered into an amendment to our existing asset-based credit facility in our Americas segment. There have been no other material changes outside the ordinary course of business in our contractual obligations since October 31, 2012.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. To prepare these financial statements, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. These estimates also affect our reported revenues and expenses. Judgments must also be made about the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results could be significantly different from these estimates. We believe that the following discussion addresses the accounting policies that are necessary to understand and evaluate our reported financial results.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when the risk of ownership and title passes to our customers. Generally, we extend credit to our customers and do not require collateral. Our sales agreements with our customers do not provide for any rights of return. However, we do approve returns on a case-by-case basis at our sole discretion to protect our brands and our image. We provide allowances for estimated returns when revenues are recorded, and related losses have historically been within our expectations. If returns are higher than our estimates, our results of operations would be adversely affected.

Accounts Receivable

Throughout the year, we perform credit evaluations of our customers, and we adjust credit limits based on payment history and the customer’s current creditworthiness. We continuously monitor our collections and maintain a reserve for estimated credit losses based on our historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. We also use insurance on certain classes of receivables in our EMEA segment. Historically, our losses have been consistent with our estimates, but there can be no assurance that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that we have

experienced in the past. It is not uncommon for some of our customers to have financial difficulties from time to time. This is normal given the wide variety of our account base, which includes small surf shops, medium-sized retail chains, and some large department store chains. Unforeseen, material financial difficulties of our customers could have an adverse impact on our results of operations.

Inventories

We value inventories at the cost to purchase and/or manufacture the product or the current estimated market value of the inventory, whichever is lower. We regularly review our inventory quantities on hand, and adjust inventory values for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on estimated forecasts of product demand and market value. Demand for our products could fluctuate significantly. The demand for our products could be negatively affected by many factors, including the following:

 

   

weakening economic conditions;

 

   

product quality and pricing;

 

   

changes in consumer preferences;

 

   

reduced customer confidence; and

 

   

unseasonable weather.

Our estimates of product demand and/or market value could be inaccurate, which could result in an understated or overstated provision required for excess and obsolete inventory.

Long-Lived Assets

We acquire tangible and intangible assets in the normal course of our business. We evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of these long-lived assets (including fixed assets, trademarks, licenses and other amortizable intangibles) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Impairments are recognized in operating earnings. We use our best judgment based on the most current facts and circumstances regarding our business when applying these impairment rules to determine the timing of the impairment tests, the undiscounted cash flows used to assess impairments, and the fair value of a potentially impaired asset. Changes in assumptions used could have a significant impact on our assessment of recoverability.

Goodwill

We evaluate the recoverability of goodwill at least annually based on a two-step impairment test. The first step compares the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. We have three reporting units under which we evaluate goodwill for impairment, the Americas, EMEA and APAC. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using a combination of a discounted cash flow approach and market approach. Material assumptions in our test for impairment include future cash flows of each reporting unit, discount rates applied to these cash flows and current market estimates of value. The discount rates used approximate our cost of capital. Future cash flows assume varying degrees of future growth in each reporting unit’s business. If the carrying amount exceeds fair value under the first step of our goodwill impairment test, then the second step of the impairment test is performed to measure the amount of any impairment loss.

As of October 31, 2012, the fair value of our Americas reporting unit substantially exceeded its carrying value. The fair values of our EMEA and APAC reporting units exceeded their carrying values by 6% and 5%, respectively. Goodwill amounted to $191 million for EMEA and $6 million for APAC as of October 31, 2012. No goodwill impairments have been recorded in fiscal 2013 or 2012. Based on the uncertainty of future growth rates and other assumptions used to estimate goodwill recoverability in our reporting units, future reductions in our expected cash flows for a reporting unit could cause a material impairment of goodwill.

Income Taxes

Current income tax expense is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable for the current year. A deferred income tax asset or liability is established for the expected future consequences of temporary

Table of Contents

differences in the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. We consider future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the value of our deferred tax assets. If we determine that it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized, we would reduce the value of these assets to their expected realizable value by recording a valuation allowance, thereby decreasing net income. Evaluating the value of these assets is necessarily based on our judgment. If we subsequently determine that the deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance had been recorded would, in our judgment, be realized in the future, the valuation allowance would be reduced, thereby increasing net income in the period when that determination was made.

We adhere to the authoritative guidance included in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, “Income Taxes” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements. This guidance provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the tax position. We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of our provision for income taxes. The application of this guidance can create significant variability in our tax rate from period to period based upon changes in or adjustments to our uncertain tax positions.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

We recognize compensation expense for all stock-based payments net of an estimated forfeiture rate and only recognize compensation cost for those shares expected to vest using the graded vested method over the requisite service period of the award. For option valuation, we determine the fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which requires the input of certain assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based payment awards, stock price volatility and interest rates. For performance based equity awards with stock price contingencies, we determine the fair value using a Monte-Carlo simulation, which creates a normal distribution of future stock prices, which is then used to value the awards based on their individual terms.

Foreign Currency Translation

A significant portion of our revenues are generated in Europe, where we operate with the euro as our primary functional currency, and a smaller portion of our revenues are generated in APAC, where we operate with the Australian dollar and Japanese yen as our primary functional currencies. Our European revenues in the United Kingdom are denominated in British pounds, and substantial portions of our EMEA and APAC product is sourced in U.S. dollars, both of which result in exposure to gains and losses that could occur from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Revenues and expenses that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the average exchange rate for the period. Assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange on the balance sheet date. Gains and losses from assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity on which they reside are generally recognized currently in our statement of operations. Gains and losses from translation of foreign subsidiary financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.

As part of our overall strategy to manage our level of exposure to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, we enter into foreign currency exchange contracts generally in the form of forward contracts. For all contracts that qualify as cash flow hedges, we record the changes in the fair value of the derivative contracts in other comprehensive income or loss.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to a variety of risks, including foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Foreign Currency and Derivatives

We are exposed to financial statement gains and losses as a result of translating the operating results and financial position of our international subsidiaries. We translate the local currency statements of operations of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate during the reporting period. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates affect our reported results and distort comparisons from period to period. By way of example, when the U.S. dollar strengthens compared to the euro, there is a negative effect on our reported results for our EMEA segment because it takes more profits in euros to generate the same amount of profits in stronger U.S. dollars. The opposite is also true. That is, when the U.S. dollar weakens, there is a positive effect on the translation of our reported results from our EMEA segment. In addition, the statements of operations of our APAC segment are translated from Australian dollars and Japanese yen into U.S. dollars, and there is a negative effect on our reported results for our APAC segment when the U.S. dollar is stronger in comparison to the Australian dollar or Japanese yen.

EMEA revenues decreased 7% in local currency during the first half of fiscal 2013 compared to the first half of fiscal 2012. As measured in U.S. dollars and reported in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, EMEA revenues decreased 8% primarily as a result of a stronger U.S. dollar versus the euro in comparison to the prior period.

APAC revenues decreased 5% in local currency during the first half of fiscal 2013 compared to the first half of fiscal 2012. As measured in U.S. dollars and reported in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, APAC revenues decreased 8% primarily as a result of a stronger U.S. dollar versus the Japanese yen in comparison to the prior period.

Our other foreign currency and interest rate risks are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2012 in Item 7A.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of reaching our desired disclosure control objectives.

We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2013, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, and were operating at the reasonable assurance level as of April 30, 2013.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended April 30, 2013 that materially affected, or

are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except the change discussed under Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting below.

Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended April 30, 2013, we expanded the implementation of a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system in our EMEA segment. The new ERP system was purchased from a leading internationally respected software provider of enterprise software solutions, SAP. The implementation of SAP represents a material change in our internal controls over financial reporting.

Management is reviewing and evaluating the design of key controls in SAP and the accuracy of the data conversion that is taking place during its implementation, and thus far has not uncovered a control deficiency or combination of control deficiencies that management believes meet the definition of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. Although management believes internal controls will be maintained or enhanced by SAP, it has not completed its testing of the operating effectiveness of all key controls in the new system. As such, there is a risk such control deficiencies may exist that have not yet been identified and that could constitute, individually or in combination, a material weakness. Management will continue to evaluate the operating effectiveness of related key controls during subsequent periods.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business faces numerous risks, many of which are beyond our control. The impact of these risks, as well as other unforeseen risks, could have a material negative impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations and the trading price of our common stock or our senior notes could decline as a result. You should consider these risks before deciding to invest in, or maintain your investment in, our common stock or senior notes. In addition, we urge you to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2012.

In addition to the risks we identified in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have identified the following risk:

Our recently announced profit improvement plan may not be successful in improving our results of operations or financial condition.

In May 2013, we announced a new multi-year profit improvement plan designed to improve upon our fiscal 2012 Adjusted EBITDA results by an estimated $150 million when fully implemented in 2016. The plan includes certain changes in our strategic focus, senior management, operational processes and organizational structure and calls for further supply chain optimization, reduction of corporate overhead, divestiture of certain non-core brands, licensing of certain product categories, reprioritization of marketing investments, revenue growth and improved pricing management. It may take longer than anticipated to generate the expected benefits from these changes and there can be no guarantee that these changes will result in improved operating results. If we are not successful in implementing these changes and executing the plan in a timely and efficient manner, we may not realize the benefits that we expect. Additionally, as we work to globalize certain business processes, changes in existing processes may result in unforeseen issues and complications that could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
