Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(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.  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. To date, the other brands have not had a seasonal impact on the Company.  In March 2009, the Company acquired 100% of the ownership interest of Ahnu, Inc., an outdoor performance and lifestyle footwear brand.  The Company does not expect the Ahnu® brand to have a significant effect on the seasonality of its consolidated net sales in 2009.

 

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, 2008.

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of this report, which represents the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.

 

(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; allowances for bad debts, returns, chargebacks and discounts; share-based 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 year presentation.

(2)                      Stockholders’ Equity

 

In May 2009, the shareholders 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 20,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares.

 

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.  As of June 30, 2009, the Company did not repurchase any of its common stock under this program.

(3)                      Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) is the total of net income (loss) and all other non-owner changes in equity. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, accumulated other comprehensive income of $391and $392, respectively, consisted of net unrealized gains on short-term investments and cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment.

 

Comprehensive income (loss) is determined as follows:

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

 

Basic net income (loss) per share represents net income (loss) divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted net income (loss) per share represents net income (loss) 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, 2009 and 2008, the difference between the weighted-average number of basic and diluted common shares resulted from the dilutive impact of NSUs and options to purchase common stock.

 

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

 

 

 

Three months ended

 

Six months ended

 

 

 

June 30,

 

June 30,

 

 

 

2009

 

2008

 

2009

 

2008

 

Weighted-average shares used in basic computation

 

13,116,000

 

13,032,000

 

13,103,000

 

13,020,000

 

Dilutive effect of NSUs and stock options

 

94,000

 

 

105,000

 

158,000

 

Weighted-average shares used for diluted computation

 

13,210,000

 

13,032,000

 

13,208,000

 

13,178,000

 

 

All options outstanding as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 were included in the computation of diluted income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and for the six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.  The Company excluded 157,000 options and NSUs that were not contingently issuable that were outstanding as of June 30, 2008 from the diluted net loss per share computation for the three months ended June 30, 2008, because they were anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the period.

 

The Company excluded 90,000 and 86,000 contingently issuable shares of common stock underlying its NSUs from the diluted net income (loss) per share computation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The Company excluded all of its SARs and RSUs from the diluted net income per share computation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, 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, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

 

(5)                      Restricted Cash

 

In January 2007, the Company entered into an escrow agreement by and among Deckers Outdoor Corporation, MacGillivray Freeman Films, Inc., and Comerica Bank.  The agreement was 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,

2009, the Company paid $300 of the purchase obligation and had $700 of restricted cash related to this obligation remaining as of June 30, 2009.  Film production was completed and the movie was released in March 2008. Accordingly, the Company recorded the full $1,250 obligation as advertising expense during the first quarter of 2008.  Of the total restricted cash related to this obligation, $300 is short-term and is included as a current asset, and the remaining $400 is long-term and is included as a noncurrent asset in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2009.  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 and off-balance sheet liabilities, if recalculated based on current interest rates, would not significantly differ from the recorded amounts.

 

The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157) and ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820) for financial assets and financial liabilities effective January 1, 2008 and for nonfinancial assets and liabilities beginning January 1, 2009.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.  SFAS 157 and ASC 820 prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value 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.

 

Short-term investments are classified as available for sale under the provisions of SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” and ASC 320 “Investments — Debt and Equity Securities.” Accordingly, the short-term investments 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 operations.  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 under SFAS 157 and ASC 820.

(7)                      Credit Facility

 

The Company’s revolving credit facility with Comerica Bank (the “Facility”) provides for a maximum availability of $20,000.  Up to $12,500 of borrowings may be in the form of letters of credit. The Facility bears interest at the lender’s prime rate (3.25% at June 30, 2009) or, at the Company’s option, at the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, (0.31% at June 30, 2009) plus 1.0% to 2.5%, depending on the ratio of liabilities to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and is secured by substantially all assets. The Facility includes annual commitment fees of $60 per year and expires on June 1, 2010.

At June 30, 2009, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Facility and outstanding letters of credit aggregated $189.  As a result, $19,811 was available under the Facility at June 30, 2009.

 

The agreements underlying the Facility contain certain financial covenants.  The Company amended the Facility including certain financial covenants in June 2009.  The covenants currently include a limitation on aggregate annual lease payments of $20,000, a quick ratio requirement of at least 0.90:1.00, a minimum profitability requirement of $1,000 per fiscal quarter (except for the current quarter ended June 30, 2009, there is a maximum net loss of $3,000), a limitation on annual consolidated capital expenditures of $25,000 in fiscal year 2009 and $15,000 in any fiscal year thereafter, a minimum tangible net worth requirement of $37,000 commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 plus 75% of consolidated net profit on a cumulative basis, and a requirement that the Company’s consolidated total liabilities to consolidated effective tangible net worth ratio be no greater than 1.50:1.00.  The agreements also contain a prohibition on the payment of dividends.

 

(8)                      Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141R) and ASC 805 “Business Combinations” (ASC 805). The objective of SFAS 141R and ASC 805 is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. SFAS 141R and ASC 805 require that all business combinations be accounted for by applying the acquisition method (previously referred to as the purchase method), and most identifiable assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill acquired in business combinations to be recorded at “full fair value.” SFAS 141R and ASC 805 also broaden the definition of a business and changes the treatment of direct acquisition-related costs from being included in the purchase price to instead being generally expensed if they are not costs associated with issuing debt or equity securities. The Company adopted SFAS 141R and ASC 805 on January 1, 2009, and applied the provisions to its new business combination.  In its business combinations accounted for under SFAS 141R and ASC 805, the Company recorded a liability of $820, included in long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, that would not have otherwise been recorded when compared to the previous guidance of SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141).

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (SFAS 160) and ASC 810 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (ASC 810). The objective of SFAS 160 and ASC 810 is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 and ASC 810 specify that noncontrolling interests (referred to as minority interests prior to SFAS 160 and ASC 810) be reported as a separate component of equity, not as a liability or other item outside of equity, which changes the accounting for transactions with noncontrolling interest holders. The Company adopted SFAS 160 and ASC 810 on January 1, 2009, and applied the provisions to the Company’s current noncontrolling interest and reclassified it into equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  In addition, net income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to Deckers Outdoor Corporation have been adjusted on the condensed consolidated statements of operations to conform to SFAS 160 and ASC 810.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 141R-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies” (FSP 141R-1) and ASC 805 “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies” (ASC 805).  FSP 141R-1 and ASC 805 amend the provisions in Statement 141R and ASC 805 for the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosures for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations. The FSP eliminates the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies, including the initial recognition and measurement criteria in Statement 141R and ASC 805 and instead carries forward most of the provisions in SFAS 141 and ASC 805 for acquired contingencies. FSP 141R-1 and ASC 805 are effective for contingent assets and contingent liabilities acquired in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company applied the provisions of FSP 141R-1 and ASC 805 effective January 1, 2009, and the adoption of the FSP did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (SFAS 165) and ASC 855 “Subsequent Events” (ASC 855).  The standard requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and whether that represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued.  SFAS 165 and ASC 855 are effective for

interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The Company applied the requirements of SFAS 165 and ASC 855 to its condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2009, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 168 “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (SFAS 168) and ASC 105 “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (ASC 105).  SFAS 168 and ASC 105 establish the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP.  SFAS 168 and ASC 105 are effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  The Company has included both references in its condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ending June 30, 2009.

 

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

 

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 share-based compensation, interest, non-operating income and expenses, income taxes, net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest, or certain unusual items 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 responsible for the worldwide wholesale operations of the UGG brand, Teva brand, Simple® brand, and its other 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, marketing, sales, commissions, bad debts, 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 compensation, accounting and finance, legal, information technology, credit and collections, human resources and facilities costs, among others.  The gross profit derived from the sales to third parties of the eCommerce segment and the US retail store segment is separated into two components:  (i) the wholesale profit is included in the operating income or loss of each of the brands’ wholesale segments, and (ii) the retail profit is included in the operating income or loss of the eCommerce segment and the retail store segment.  The gross profit of the international portion of the retail segment includes both the wholesale and retail profit.

 

The Company’s other brands consist of TSUBO® and Ahnu.  In May 2008, the Company acquired 100% of the ownership interest of TSUBO, LLC, and in March 2009, the Company acquired 100% of the ownership interest of Ahnu, Inc.  The wholesale operations of these brands are included as one reportable segment, other wholesale, presented in the figures below.

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 45.3% and 37.3% of the Company’s total net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  International sales were 33.1% and 28.0% of the Company’s total net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, 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 six months ended June 30, 2009 or 2008.  As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had one customer representing 12.7% and 34.1% of net trade accounts receivable, respectively.

 

The Company’s production and sourcing is concentrated in China, New Zealand and Australia, with the vast majority of its production at six independent contractor factories in 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 agreed to make loans to its joint venture with Stella International, should the need arise. The estimated total loans by Deckers and Stella International is expected to be approximately $4,000 contributed by both parties in proportion to their respective ownership in the joint venture.  The Company owns 51% of the joint venture. The Company also entered into agreements to make potential future earn-out payments relating to its acquisitions of TSUBO, LLC and Ahnu, Inc.  The potential TSUBO, LLC earn-out is based on the amount, if any, that sales of TSUBO products exceed certain predetermined base revenue levels for each year from 2008 to 2012.  At June 30, 2009, the Company did not anticipate, and therefore did not accrue, any earn-out payments for TSUBO, LLC in accordance with SFAS 141 and ASC 805.  The potential Ahnu, Inc. earn-out is based on the amount, if any, that gross profit of Ahnu products exceeds certain base levels for each year from 2010 to 2013.  As of June 30, 2009, in accordance with SFAS 141R and ASC 805, $820 is included for the Ahnu Inc. earn-out within long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

The Company had certain tax obligations to authorities in China for one of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The Company paid certain amounts against these obligations and also negotiated certain reductions of previously accrued amounts. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” and ASC 450 “Contingencies,” as of June 30, 2009, management has determined that any remaining liability for such matters is remote.  Accordingly, the Company has reversed the previously accrued amount of approximately $1,600, primarily as a reduction of cost of sales of approximately $600 and interest expense of approximately $1,000, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.

 

In September 2008, the Company entered into a pilot services agreement whereby a third party is providing the Company with selling services. In connection with this agreement, the Company has guaranteed the third party’s obligations to a merchant services provider. The Company may terminate this guarantee upon thirty days written notice to the merchant services provider. The agreement does not provide for a maximum payout; however, management believes the likelihood of any payments under this guarantee is remote and would have an immaterial effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.  The Company determined this based upon an analysis of the third party’s historical financial data and sales and returns projections.

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.  The Company indemnifies its licensees, distributors and certain promotional partners in connection with claims alleging use of the Company’s licensed intellectual property.  The terms of the agreements range up to five years initially and 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.

 

In February 2009, the Company entered into a contract requiring minimum purchase commitments of sheepskin of approximately $64,000 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 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 supplying UGG product to the Company will exceed these levels in 2009 and 2010.  Therefore, management believes the likelihood of any non-performance payments under this contractual arrangement is remote and would have an immaterial effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.  The Company determined this based upon its historical and projected sales and inventory purchases.

 

(11)                Business Combinations

 

In May 2008, the Company acquired 100% of the ownership interest of TSUBO, LLC.  The acquisition resulted in the recognition of goodwill of $3,496, nonamortizable intangible assets of $1,970 related to the TSUBO trademarks and trade name, as well as $470 of amortizable intangible assets related to TSUBO brand distributor relationships.  All of the TSUBO goodwill was written off as of December 31, 2008.  In the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1,000 on the TSUBO trademarks (see note 12).

 

In March 2009, the Company acquired 100% of the ownership interest of Ahnu, Inc., an outdoor performance and lifestyle footwear brand.  The Company paid cash consideration in the form of a loan that was entered into concurrently with a definitive agreement for the acquisition of Ahnu, Inc.  In accordance with SFAS 141R and ASC 805, the acquisition-date fair value of the total consideration transferred was as follows:

In addition, the Company may pay future earn-outs based on the amount, if any, that gross profit of Ahnu products exceeds certain base levels for each year from 2010 to 2013.  The earn-out for each year, if any, will be payable within ninety days after the end of each year.  There is no maximum to this potential earn-out, however management believes the estimated undiscounted range of outcomes for this contingent consideration was zero to $8,800.  The weighted average fair value of the potential earn-out of $820, based on Level 3 inputs under SFAS 157 and ASC 820, was included as purchase consideration and is included within long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2009.

 

The Company made this acquisition because it believes that the Ahnu brand complements its existing portfolio of lifestyle brands, and that the Ahnu brand’s target consumer, product selection, industry niche and relative under-penetration in the marketplace make it a good fit for the Company. The preliminary purchase price allocation, subject to a measurement period not to exceed one year, resulted in the recognition of $1,357 of goodwill and amortizable intangible assets of $695 related to the Ahnu trademarks, trade name and customer relationships, and was determined, in part, based on the Company’s expectation that it can leverage its design, marketing and distribution capabilities to grow the Ahnu brand into a meaningful

business over the next several years, consistent with the Company’s mission to build niche brands into global market leaders.  The goodwill is included in the Company’s other brands wholesale reportable segment and none of it is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.  The Company adjusted the preliminary measurement of allocated assets and liabilities in the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  Such adjustments were immaterial to the condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations.  The trademarks and trade name are being amortized over ten years and the customer relationships are being amortized over four years.

 

As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had total net goodwill of $7,458 and $6,101, respectively.

 

(12)                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, in accordance with SFAS 142 and ASC 350 “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other,” 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.  In addition, the Company will amortize the remaining TSUBO trademarks of $970 over ten years.

 

As of June 30, 2008, the Company did not reach its 2008 Teva brand period-to-date sales targets and reduced its long-term forecast for Teva brand sales.  As a result, the Company conducted an interim impairment evaluation of the Teva goodwill and intangible assets as of June 30, 2008 and concluded that the Teva goodwill was not impaired, but the fair value of the Teva trademarks was lower than the carrying amount. Therefore, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $14,900 on the Teva trademarks during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.  The impairment loss is included as a part of the Teva wholesale reportable segment.

 

These impairment losses are included in a separate line item within the Company’s income (loss) from operations.  Both the TSUBO and Teva trademarks were evaluated based on Level 3 inputs using a relief from royalty method, primarily based on management’s forecasted sales, a royalty rate, and discount rates.

 

(13)                Subsequent Events

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2009, the Company repurchased approximately 150,000 shares of its common stock for approximately $10,200 under its stock repurchase program.

Overview

 

We are a leading designer, producer and brand manager of innovative, high-quality footwear and accessories and the category creator in the luxury sheepskin, sport sandal and sustainable footwear segments. We market our products primarily under three proprietary brands:

 

·                  UGG®: Authentic luxury sheepskin boots and a full line of luxury and comfort footwear and accessories;

 

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

 

·                  Simple®: Innovative sustainable-lifestyle footwear and accessories.

 

In addition to our primary brands, our newest brands include 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 directly to our end-user consumers through our eCommerce business and our retail stores. We sell our footwear in both the domestic market and in international markets.  Independent third parties manufacture all of our products.

 

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

 

14



Table of Contents

 

·                  Recent changes in US and global economic conditions have adversely impacted businesses generally. 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 a well-known brand throughout the US as well as internationally.  Over the past several years, our UGG brand has received increased media exposure including increased print media in national ads and cooperative advertising with our customers, which has contributed to broader public awareness of the UGG brand and significantly increased demand for the collection.  We believe that the increased media focus and demand for UGG products were driven by the following:

 

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

·                  increased marketing in high-end magazines,

·                  successful targeting of high-end distribution,

·                  adoption by high-profile film and television 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,

·                  continued geographic expansion across the US and internationally, and

·                  continued innovation of new product categories and styles.

 

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, as well as a fall line that consists of a range of luxurious collections for both genders.  These collections include: fashion collections, a variety of casual comfort collections, and cold weather offerings, as well as our Classic, Ultra, Ultimate and Slippers collections.

 

Teva Brand Overview

 

Though participation in many traditional outdoor recreational activities is on the decline, we continue to see consumer preferences shifting towards an outdoor lifestyle and to outdoor activities that can be done in a day, an afternoon, or even an hour.  Because of our Teva brand’s heritage in outdoor footwear and our continued commitment to product innovation, the brand remains popular with traditional outdoor athletes and enthusiasts.  Although sales are slightly lower than 2008, the Teva brand has held up well through the recent economic downturn and has begun to appeal to a new generation of outdoor consumers entering the market.  The Teva product line now includes a broad range of

performance and lifestyle products and price points, both open and closed toe footwear, appropriate for all seasons, for men, women and children.

 

We see continuing opportunity to grow the Teva brand within our core outdoor specialty and sporting goods channels of trade.  We also believe there are significant expansion opportunities into the family footwear, department store, and better footwear 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.

 

Simple Brand Overview

 

The Simple brand is committed to innovation and bringing sustainable products to the market, growing the brand’s business, while at the same time bringing environmental awareness and creating meaningful, environmentally friendly products for a global market. The Simple brand is a leader in sustainable footwear and accessories.  We feel that how we make Simple products is just as important as why we make them.  That means our goal is to find more sustainable and innovative ways of doing business.  We are committed to our goal 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.  We promote our Simple brand by emphasizing that we make fashionable, youthful, functional and sustainable footwear.  Our goal is to create a dialogue with the consumer through all communication vehicles and to show people that sustainability is an emerging lifestyle for everyone, not just environmentally conscious individuals.  Our print advertising campaigns include national publications and alternative weekly publications in select cities around the world.  Our online advertising campaign reaches consumers through websites that focus on sustainability as well as popular culture.  Additionally, we sponsor environmental-themed concerts and green festivals to showcase and tell the sustainable lifestyle brand story.

 

Other Brands Overview

 

In May 2008, we acquired 100% of the ownership interest of TSUBO, LLC.  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 intend to build on this heritage, positioning the TSUBO brand as the premium footwear solution for people in the city, providing all day comfort, style and quality.  The TSUBO brand strives to become well known in the most important style, design, architecture, art and fashion centers around the world.  We will continue to create product addressing consumers’ unique needs: all-day comfort, innovative style and superior quality.  At the same time, we will market 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.  Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Alameda, California, Ahnu is an outdoor performance and lifestyle footwear brand with products for men, women and children.  The name Ahnu is derived from the goddess of balance and well-being in Celtic mythology.  The brand focuses on balancing work and play, family and friends, and self and society.  The Ahnu brand 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 in Canada and New Zealand.

 

We believe that the TSUBO and Ahnu brands complement our existing portfolio of lifestyle brands, and that the TSUBO and Ahnu brands’ target consumer, product selection, industry niche and relative under-penetration in the marketplace make these brands a good fit for us. We expect to leverage our design, marketing and distribution capabilities to grow these brands into meaningful 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 all of our primary 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.  Our Teva and UGG Australia websites both won BizRate’s Circle of Excellence Platinum Awards for both 2007 and 2008.  The award recognizes online retailers with top customer satisfaction ratings.  In prior years, our eCommerce business has had significant revenue growth, much of which occurred as the UGG brand gained popularity and as consumers continued to increase usage of the internet 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 internet business through improved website features and performance, increased marketing and international websites. Overall, our eCommerce business benefits from the strength of our brands and, as we grow our brands over time, we expect this division to continue to be an important segment of our business.  Nevertheless, we cannot assure investors that eCommerce sales will grow at their prior pace or that revenue from our eCommerce business will not continue to decline.

 

Retail Stores Overview

 

Since spring 2008, we have opened seven new retail stores: six concept stores (San Francisco, New York City, Beijing, Tokyo, and two in London) and one retail outlet store in New Jersey.  As of June 30, 2009, we have a total of 14 retail stores worldwide.  Continuing to build on the success of our existing UGG Australia stores, in the second half of 2009, we plan to open two additional domestic stores including a retail outlet in the Desert Hills Premium Outlets in Cabazon, California and an UGG brand concept store in Honolulu, Hawaii.  Internationally, our stores in the UK and China were successful in their first holiday season.  For the second half of 2009, we plan to continue to expand internationally by opening two new stores.

 

In July 2008, we entered into a joint venture agreement with an affiliate of Stella International Holdings Limited for the opening of retail stores and wholesale distribution for the UGG brand in China.  Under this agreement, we opened our first UGG Australia concept store in Beijing in December 2008.  The joint venture is owned 51% by Deckers.

 

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 annual operating income.  In addition, our UGG Australia concept stores allow us to showcase our entire line; whereas, a retailer may not carry the whole line.

 

Seasonality

 

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

* Included in income (loss) from operations in the second quarter of 2008 is a $14,900 impairment loss on our Teva trademarks.  Included in the fourth quarter of 2008 is a $20,925 impairment loss on our Teva trademarks, Teva goodwill, and TSUBO goodwill.  Included in the second quarter of 2009 is a $1,000 impairment loss on our TSUBO trademarks.

 

With the dramatic growth in the UGG brand in recent years, combined with the introduction of a fall Teva product line, net sales in the last half of the year have exceeded that for the first half of the year.  Given our expectations for each of our brands in 2009, we currently expect this trend to continue.  Nonetheless, actual results could differ materially depending upon the economic environment, 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 product sales.  The increase in income (loss) from operations resulted primarily from the increase in net sales as well as the impairment loss in the three months ended June 30, 2008, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses.

The increase in net sales was primarily driven by strong sales for the UGG brand.  In addition, our weighted-average wholesale selling price per pair increased 12.4% to $34.78 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $30.94 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, resulting primarily from higher UGG sales, which generally carry a higher average selling price.  During the quarter, we experienced an increase in the number of pairs sold of our UGG brand, as well as contributions from our new brands, offset by a decrease in the number of pairs sold of our Teva brand, thus we remained flat overall in the total volume of footwear sold for all brands of approximately 2.8 million pairs for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

 

Wholesale net sales of our UGG brand increased primarily due to an increase of fall orders shipping to our international distributors and our domestic retailers, as well as an increase in the weighted-average wholesale selling price per pair.  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 decreased primarily due to a decrease in the number of pairs sold, partially offset by an increase in the weighted-average wholesale selling price per pair.  The decline in sales was also the result of lower reorders combined with lower closeout sales due to our lower inventory balances versus last year.

 

Wholesale net sales of our Simple brand decreased primarily due to a decrease in the weighted-average wholesale selling price per pair, partially offset by an increase in the number of pairs sold.  Also, Simple brand sales were higher in the second quarter of 2008 in part due to the launch of Planet Walkers®, and we experienced a lower than normal rate of reorder business in the second quarter of 2009.

Wholesale net sales of our other brands increased, as we did not own Ahnu during the three months ended June 30, 2008, and we purchased TSUBO in May 2008.

 

Net sales of our eCommerce business decreased by $1,160, or 18.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008.  The decrease in sales resulted primarily from more first quarter backorders carried into and shipped in the second quarter of 2008 than 2009 for the UGG brand.

 

Net sales of our retail store business increased by $3,051, or 100.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008.  The increase in retail, being mainly UGG sales, was largely due to the addition of seven new stores opened since June 30, 2008.  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 2008 and 2009, same store sales grew by 8.4%.  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 45.3% of worldwide net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 37.3% of worldwide net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  The majority of the international sales growth was from the UGG brand in each of our international markets, led by the European region.  We discovered an immaterial error in the international sales growth for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as originally reported in our earnings release furnished on July 23, 2009.  In the earnings release, we reported international sales growth of 36.8% as compared to the same period last year; in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we publish the correct figure of 36.4% in the preceding table.

 

Gross Profit.  As a percentage of net sales, gross margin decreased slightly to 39.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 39.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  Our gross margins fluctuate based on several factors, and we expect our gross margin to increase slightly for the full year of 2009 compared to 2008.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, increased to 35.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 31.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  The increase in SG&A resulted primarily from a planned increase in payroll expenses, seven new retail stores that were not open in the second quarter of 2008, and divisional expenses primarily related to our new brands.

(1)  Included in Teva loss from operations is an impairment loss of $14,900 during the second quarter of 2008.

 

Income from operations increased due to the increase in net sales and the impairment loss in the three months ended June 30, 2008, partially offset by the 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 margins, partially offset by higher divisional selling expenses.

 

The increase in income from operations of Teva brand wholesale was largely due to the impairment loss in the three months ended June 30, 2008 as well as reduced marketing expenses, partially offset by lower sales and gross margins.

Table of Contents

 

The loss from operations of Simple brand wholesale was primarily due to lower gross margins attributed to negative average gross margins on closeout sales, as well as lower total sales.  In addition, we recognized our planned increase in marketing and promotional expenses.

 

We did not own our other brands during the full three months ended June 30, 2008.  We are implementing a new marketing campaign and investing in re-launching our TSUBO brand since our acquisition in May 2008.  However, we plan to defer the remaining spend until economic conditions improve.  Our Ahnu brand is still a new brand in the marketplace. Because of these reasons, as well as the economic recession, we expect to continue reporting a loss from operations for our other brands for at least the remainder of 2009.

 

Income from operations of our eCommerce business decreased primarily due to lower UGG brand sales and slightly lower gross margins.

 

Loss from operations of our retail store business increased primarily due to higher operating expenses, mainly related to our new store openings, and lower domestic gross margins, partially offset by the increase in net sales. We expect to have income from operations for the full year 2009.

 

The increase in unallocated overhead costs resulted primarily from higher corporate payroll costs due to the planned increase in headcount and higher legal costs, both related to our continued growth.

 

Other (Income) Expense, Net.  Interest expense was negative due to the reversal of interest and penalties originally recorded in prior periods related to certain tax obligations for one of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.  Management determined that any remaining liability for such matters is remote, and therefore we reversed the previously accrued amount.  In addition, interest income decreased by $387, or 58.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008.  The decrease resulted primarily from lower overall market interest rates, as well as a shift in our investment mix to a greater percentage of safer, more liquid and lower yielding investments.

 

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 (benefit) 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.

 

Net Loss Attributable to the Noncontrolling Interest.  Net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest in our joint venture with Stella International, which was formed in July 2008, was $112 for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

 

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Deckers Outdoor Corporation.  Our net income increased as a result of the items discussed above.  Our diluted earnings per share increased by 175.9% to $0.22 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $(0.29) in the same period of 2008, primarily as a result of the increase in net income.

Overview.  The increase in net sales was primarily due to an increase in UGG wholesale product sales and retail stores sales.  The increase in income from operations resulted primarily from the increase in net sales as well as the impairment loss in the six months ended June 30, 2008, partially offset by a lower gross margin and higher selling, general and administrative expenses.

The increase in net sales was primarily driven by strong sales for the UGG brand.  In addition, our weighted-average wholesale selling price per pair increased 16.4% to $31.25 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $26.84 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, resulting primarily from higher UGG sales, which generally carry a higher average selling price.  During the period, we experienced an increase in the number of pairs sold of our UGG and Simple brands, as well as contributions from our new brands, partially offset by a decrease in the number of pairs sold of our Teva brand, resulting in a 6.5% overall increase in the volume of footwear sold for all brands to approximately 6.6 million pairs for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to approximately 6.2 million pairs for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

 

Wholesale net sales of our UGG brand increased primarily due to an increase in sales to both domestic customers and international distributors, as well as higher weighted-average wholesale selling prices per pair.  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 decreased primarily due to a decrease in the number of pairs sold, partially offset by an increase in the weighted-average wholesale selling price per pair.

 

Wholesale net sales of our Simple brand decreased primarily due to a decrease in the weighted-average wholesale selling price per pair partially offset by an increase in the number of pairs sold.

 

Wholesale net sales of our other brands increased, as we did not own our other brands for the full six months ended June 30, 2008.

Table of Contents

 

Net sales of our eCommerce business decreased by $610, or 2.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The sales decrease was attributed to fewer pairs shipped, with the greatest impact from the UGG brand.

 

Net sales of our retail store business increased by $11,666, or 139.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The increase in net sales was driven by an increase in sales of UGG products, which was partially due to the addition of seven new stores opened since June 30, 2008.  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 month period ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, same store sales grew by 21.7%.  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 33.1% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 28.0% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The majority of the international sales growth was from the UGG brand in each of our international markets, led by the European region.

 

Gross Profit.  As a percentage of net sales, gross margin decreased to 42.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 43.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily due to closeout sales including negative margins on Simple closeout sales.  In addition, our international distributor sales, which carry lower margins, were a greater percentage of our total sales for the first six months of 2009 versus 2008.  Our gross margins fluctuate based on several factors, and we expect our gross margin to increase slightly for the full year of 2009 compared to 2008.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  As a percentage of net sales, SG&A increased to 32.2% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 30.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The increase in SG&A resulted primarily from a planned increase in payroll expenses, marketing expenses, including approximately $3,000 of incremental marketing investments for our Simple and TSUBO brands, and costs associated with seven new retail stores that were not open in the first six months of 2008.

(1)  Included in Teva loss from operations is an impairment loss of $14,900 during the second quarter of 2008.

 

Income from operations increased primarily due to the impairment loss in the six months ended June 30, 2008 as well as the increase in net sales, partially offset by the lower gross margin and higher selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

The increase in income from operations of UGG brand wholesale was primarily the result of the higher sales as well as lower bad debt expenses, partially offset by increased marketing and promotional expenses and lower gross margins.

 

The increase in income from operations of Teva brand wholesale was largely due to the impairment loss in the six months ended June 30, 2008 as well as decreased division expenses including our portion of the production costs for the documentary IMAX film, “Grand Canyon Adventure, River at Risk” in the six months ended June 30, 2008 plus other reduced marketing and promotional expenses.  These reductions in expenses were partially offset by lower sales and gross margins.

Table of Contents

 

The increase in the loss from operations of Simple brand wholesale was primarily due to lower gross margins, mainly attributed to an increased impact of closeout sales, and lower total sales.  In addition, we recognized our planned increase in marketing and promotional expenses.

 

We did not own our other brands during the full six months ended June 30, 2008.  We began a new marketing campaign and invested in re-launching our TSUBO brand since our acquisition in May 2008.  However, we plan to defer the remaining spend until economic conditions improve. Our Ahnu brand is still a new brand in the marketplace.  Because of these reasons, as well as the economic recession, we expect to continue reporting a loss from operations for our other brands for at least the remainder of 2009.

 

Income from operations of our eCommerce business decreased primarily due to lower UGG brand sales, lower gross margins, and higher operating costs.

 

Income from operations of our retail store business increased primarily due to the increase in net sales, partially offset by lower domestic gross margins and 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 and higher distribution center costs, both related to our continued growth.

 

Other (Income) Expense, Net.  Interest expense was negative due to the reversal of interest and penalties originally recorded in prior periods related to certain tax obligations for one of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.  Management determined that any remaining liability for such matters is remote, and therefore we reversed the previously accrued amount.  In addition, interest income decreased by $1,180, or 57.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The decrease resulted primarily from lower overall market interest rates, as well as a shift in our investment mix to a greater percentage of safer, more liquid and lower yielding investments.

 

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.  We anticipate our effective tax rate for the full year 2009 to be approximately 37% to 38%.  Our effective tax rate is based on pre-tax income projections, which are inherently subjective.

 

Net Loss Attributable to the Noncontrolling Interest.  Net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest in our joint venture with Stella International, which was formed in July 2008, was $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 101.8% to $1.15 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $0.57 in the same period of 2008, 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 revolving credit facility. 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.

 

25



Table of Contents

 

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.

 

The seasonality of our business requires us to build inventory levels in anticipation of the sales for the coming season. The UGG brand generally builds its 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 quarter in anticipation of the spring selling season that occurs in the first and second quarters.

 

Our cash flow cycle includes the purchase of these 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. Given the seasonality of our UGG and Teva brands, our working capital requirements fluctuate significantly throughout the year. The cash required to fund these working capital fluctuations is generally provided using our internal cash flows. If necessary, we may borrow funds under our revolving credit facility.

 

Cash from Operating Activities.  Net cash used in operating activities was $9,895 and $27,366 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The change in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to a greater decrease in accounts receivable and a lower increase in inventory in the first six months of 2009 compared to the first six months of 2008. The larger decrease in accounts receivable was primarily due to increased cash collections in the six months ended June 30, 2009 versus the same period in 2008.  The lower increase in inventory was primarily due to timing of our inventory purchases, as well as higher sales in the six months ended June 30, 2009 versus June 30, 2008.  These changes were partially offset by a greater decrease in accrued expenses in the first six months of 2009 compared to the first six months of 2008.  The greater decrease in accrued expenses was primarily due to higher accrued payroll and other accrued expenses at December 31, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007.  Net working capital increased by $16,550 to $334,305 as of June 30, 2009 from $317,755 as of December 31, 2008, primarily as a result of higher inventory and short-term investments and lower income taxes payable and accrued expenses.  The increase in working capital was partially offset by the lower cash and cash equivalents balances and trade accounts receivable.  Changes in working capital are due to our normal seasonality and timing of cash receipts and cash payments.

 

Cash from Investing Activities.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net cash used in investing activities was $58,283, which resulted primarily from net purchases of short-term investments and purchases of property and equipment.  Our larger capital expenditures were related to expansion of our warehouse pick module and computer hardware and software.  For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net cash provided by investing activities was $49,957, which was comprised primarily of net sales of short-term investments, partially offset by purchases of property and equipment and our acquisition of TSUBO, LLC.  Our capital expenditures were primarily related to our inventory pick module and leasehold improvements and furniture for additional corporate offices.

 

Cash from Financing Activities.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net cash used in financing activities was $465 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $2,550 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  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 offset by excess tax benefits from share-based compensation.  For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net cash provided by financing activities consisted of the excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation as well as cash received from the exercise of stock options.

 

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.  The purchases will be funded from available working capital.  As of June 30, 2009, we had not repurchased any of our common stock under this program.  However, subsequent to June 30, 2009, we repurchased approximately 150,000 shares for a total of approximately $10,200.

 

Our working capital consists primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade accounts receivable, inventories and trade accounts payable.  At June 30, 2009, working capital was $334,305, including $108,163 of cash and cash equivalents and $67,144 of short-term investments.  Trade accounts receivable decreased by 41.7% to $63,068 at June 30, 2009 from $108,129 at December 31, 2008, primarily due to increased cash collections and normal seasonality.  Accounts receivable turnover increased to 9.3 times in the twelve months ended June 30, 2009 from 8.9 times in the twelve months ended December 31, 2008. The increase was due primarily to higher sales for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2008.

Inventories increased 57.0% to $145,644 at June 30, 2009 from $92,740 at December 31, 2008, reflecting a $62,412, increase in UGG inventory, a $1,757 increase in other brands’ inventory, and a $9,669 and $1,596 decrease in Teva and Simple brand inventory, respectively.  The overall increase in inventory as of June 30, 2009 was largely due to normal seasonality as well as the increased number of retail stores which requires more inventory on hand.  Inventory turnover was 3.6 times for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 4.1 times for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008.  The decrease in turnover was largely due to an increase in average inventory balances due to normal seasonality.

 

Our revolving credit facility with Comerica Bank, or the Facility, provides for a maximum availability of $20,000.  Up to $12,500 of borrowings may be in the form of letters of credit.  The Facility bears interest at the lender’s prime rate (3.25% at June 30, 2009) or, at our option, at the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, (0.31% at June 30, 2009) plus 1.0% to 2.5%, depending on our ratio of liabilities to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and is secured by substantially all of our assets.  The Facility includes annual commitment fees of $60 per year and expires on June 1, 2010.  At June 30, 2009, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Facility and outstanding letters of credit of $189.  As a result, $19,811 was available under the Facility at June 30, 2009.

 

The agreements underlying the Facility contain certain financial covenants.  We amended the Facility in June 2009, including amending some of these covenants.  The covenants currently include a limitation on aggregate annual lease payments of $20,000, a quick ratio requirement of at least 0.90:1.00, a minimum profitability requirement of $1,000 per fiscal quarter (except for the current quarter ended June 30, 2009, there is a maximum net loss of $3,000,) a limitation on annual consolidated capital expenditures of $25,000 in fiscal year 2009 and $15,000 in any fiscal year thereafter, a minimum tangible net worth requirement of $37,000 commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, plus 75% of consolidated net profit on a cumulative basis, and a requirement that our consolidated total liabilities to consolidated effective tangible net worth ratio be no greater than 1.50:1.00.  The agreements also contain a prohibition on the payment of dividends.  At June 30, 2009, we were in compliance with all covenants and remain so as of the date of this report.

 

As of June 30, 2009, we had no material commitments for future capital expenditures but estimate that the remaining capital expenditures for 2009 will range from approximately $13,000 to $15,000. We anticipate the larger expenditures will include the build-out of new retail stores and miscellaneous computer hardware and software.  The actual amount of capital expenditures for the remainder of 2009 may differ from this estimate, largely depending on any unforeseen needs to replace existing assets and the timing of expenditures.

 

We believe that internally generated funds, the available borrowings under our existing Facility, 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, the global economic conditions, 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.  Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K under Item 1A. Risk Factors and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under Item 1A. 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 facility or draw on our existing Facility.  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. We may, from time to time, evaluate acquisitions of other businesses or brands.  As of June 30, 2009, there were no material binding understandings, commitments or agreements with respect to the acquisition of any other businesses.

 

Contractual Obligations.  The following table summarizes our contractual obligations at June 30, 2009, 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.  Other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet include primarily deferred rents, which are included in operating lease obligations in this table.

(2)          Our purchase obligations consist largely of purchase orders, 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 obligationsOur promotional expenditures and service contracts are due periodically through 2012.  In February 2009, we entered into a contract requiring minimum purchase commitments of sheepskin of approximately $64,000 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 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 in 2009 and 2010.  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 these amounts 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, 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. The estimated total loans by Deckers and Stella International is expected to be approximately $4,000 contributed by both parties in proportion to their respective ownership in the joint venture.   We also have potential future earn-out payments relating to our May 2008 acquisition of TSUBO, LLC and our March 2009 acquisition of Ahnu, Inc.  The potential earn-out for TSUBO, LLC is based on the amount, if any, that sales of TSUBO products exceed certain base revenue levels for each year from 2008 to 2012.  See Note 10, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.  The potential earn-out for Ahnu, Inc. is based on the amount, if any, that gross profit of Ahnu products exceeds certain base levels for each year from 2010 to 2013.  See Note 11, “Business Combinations,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.  These amounts were excluded from the table above as all conditions for the earn-out payments have not been met.  Earn-out payments of $820 were included as purchase consideration for Ahnu, Inc. and are included within long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2009.

 

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 (loss) 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 probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the sales price is fixed or determinable.  Allowances for estimated returns, discounts and chargebacks 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 condensed consolidated 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, 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 have historically been materially accurate in our estimates used for the reserves and allowances below.  We believe that the estimates and assumptions below are among those most important to an understanding of our condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report.

 

28



Table of Contents

 

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, 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 which are identified as potentially uncollectible, plus a non-specific reserve for the balance of accounts based on our historical loss experience with bad debts.  Reserves have been established for all probable losses of this nature.  The gross trade accounts receivable balance was $69,606 and the allowance for doubtful accounts was $2,415, or 3.5%, of accounts receivable, at June 30, 2009, compared to gross trade accounts receivable of $118,835 and the allowance of $2,482, or 2.1%, of accounts receivable, at December 31, 2008.  The increase in the allowance as a percentage of accounts receivable was primarily due to additional downgrading of the collectability of several accounts due to current economic conditions, which increased the reserve percentage applied to those accounts.  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, 2009 by approximately $410.

 

Reserve for Sales Discounts.  A significant portion of our domestic 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 reserve for discounts was $1,008, or 1.4%, of gross accounts receivable, at June 30, 2009 and $4,241, or 3.6%, of gross accounts receivable, at December 31, 2008.  The decrease in the reserve as a percentage of accounts receivable was primarily due to a lower percentage of total outstanding customer balances being eligible for terms discounts as of June 30, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008.  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, 2009 by approximately $100.

 

Allowance for Estimated Returns.  We record an allowance for anticipated future returns of goods shipped prior to period-end. In general, we accept returns for damaged or defective products but discourage returns for other reasons. We base the amount of the allowance 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 allowance for returns was $1,064 at June 30, 2009, or 1.0%, of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and $2,335 at December 31, 2008, or 0.8%, of net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2008.  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, 2009 by approximately $410.

 

Allowance for Estimated Chargebacks. When our customers pay their invoices, they often take deductions for chargebacks against their invoices, which we seldom recover.  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 allowance for chargebacks was $2,051, or 2.9%, of gross accounts receivable, at June 30, 2009 and $1,648, or 1.4%, of gross accounts receivable, at December 31, 2008.  The increase in the allowance was primarily because many of the open chargebacks were carried over from the fourth quarter of 2008, as the period to resolve the chargebacks has become longer.

 

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, 2009, inventories were stated at $145,644, net of inventory write-downs of $1,752.  At December 31, 2008, inventories were stated at $92,740, net of inventory write-downs of $3,680.  The decrease in inventory write-downs was primarily due to the sell-through of previously written-down inventory, primarily in our Teva and Simple brand 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, 2009 by approximately $370.

 

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 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 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;

 

29



Table of Contents

 

·                  any changes in legal ownership of rights to the assets; and

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

 

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.

 

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, the Company will amortize the remaining TSUBO trademarks of $970 over 10 years.

 

As of June 30, 2008, our inability to reach our 2008 Teva brand period to date sales targets along with a reduced long-term forecast for Teva brand sales growth were indicators that the Teva goodwill and other intangible assets were possibly impaired.  As a result, we conducted an interim impairment evaluation of the Teva goodwill and other intangible assets as of June 30, 2008 and concluded that the Teva goodwill was not impaired, but the fair value of the Teva trademarks was lower than the carrying amount. Therefore, we recognized an impairment loss of $14,900 in the second quarter of 2008 on the Teva trademarks.

 

The annual impairment testing date is still December 31 of each year; however, management will perform an interim test of recoverability should facts and circumstances warrant.  Such facts and circumstances could include further deterioration of general economic conditions or the retail environment, customers reducing orders in response to such conditions and increased competition.  These or other factors could result in impairment of our remaining goodwill and other intangible assets.  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.

 

Share-based Compensation Expense. Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”, or SFAS 123R, and Accounting Standards Codification subtopic “Compensation: Stock Compensation”, or ASC 718,  require that share-based payment transactions with employees be accounted for using the fair value method and expensed ratably over the vesting period of the award.  Share-based 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, share-based compensation expense and our results of operations could be materially impacted.

 

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Derivative Instruments.  Although we have used foreign currency hedges in the past, we currently do not utilize forward contracts or other derivative instruments to mitigate exposure to fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rate, as the majority of our purchases and sales for the foreseeable future will be denominated in US currency.  As our international operations grow and we increase purchases and sales in foreign currencies, we will evaluate and utilize derivative instruments, as needed, to hedge our foreign currency exposures.

 

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.  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.

 

Market Risk.  Our market risk exposure with respect to financial instruments is to changes in the prime rate in the US and changes in LIBOR.  Our revolving line of credit provides for interest on outstanding borrowings at rates tied to the prime rate or at our election tied to LIBOR.  At June 30, 2009, we had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving line of credit.  A 1.0% increase in interest rates on our current borrowings would have no impact on income (loss) before income taxes.

 

We face market risk to the extent that changes in foreign currency exchange rates affect our foreign assets and liabilities. 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 do not believe that there has been a material change in the nature of our primary

Table of Contents

 

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

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure 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.  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, 2009 pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15.  Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer believe that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in making known to them material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in 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, 2009 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. Such routine matters, if decided adversely to us, would not, in the opinion of management, 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

 

Our stock repurchase plan may be suspended or terminated at any time, which may result in a decrease in our stock price.

 

We have announced a plan to repurchase shares of our common stock in the market under an arrangement pursuant to which management is permitted to determine the amount and timing of repurchases in its discretion subject to an overall limit.  Our ability and willingness to repurchase shares is subject to, among other things, the availability of cash resources and credit at rates and upon terms we believe are prudent.  Stock market conditions, the market value of our common stock and other factors may also make it imprudent for us from time to time to engage in repurchase activity.  There can be no assurance that we will repurchase shares.  If our repurchase program is curtailed, our stock price and our earnings per share may be negatively affected.

 

There have been no other 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, 2008, filed on March 2, 2009.

Item 2.           Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

 

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. As of June 30, 2009, the Company did not repurchase any of its common stock under this program.

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

 

To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (the “Delaware Law”), a director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.  The Corporation shall indemnify, in the manner and to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Law, any person (or the estate of any person) who is or was a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, any threatened,

 

5



 

pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether or not by or in the right of the Corporation, and whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.  The Corporation may indemnify, in the manner and to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Law, any person (or the estate of any person) who is or was a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether or not by or in the right of the Corporation, and whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such person is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.  Expenses incurred by any such director, officer, employee or agent in defending any such action, suit or proceeding may be advanced by the Corporation prior to the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized by the Delaware Law and this Article X.  The Corporation may, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Law, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any such director, officer, employee or agent against any liability which may be asserted against such person.  To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Law, the indemnification provided herein shall include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and, in the manner provided by the Delaware Law, any such expenses may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding.  The indemnification provided herein shall not be deemed to limit the right of the Corporation to indemnify any other person for any such expenses to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Law, nor shall it be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification from the Corporation may be entitled under any agreement, votes of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

 

No repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph shall adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing by virtue of the foregoing paragraph at the time of such repeal or modification.

 

ARTICLE XI

 

AMENDMENT OF CORPORATE DOCUMENTS

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:

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

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.”
