Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Description of the Business

Under Armour, Inc. is a developer, marketer and distributor of branded performance apparel, footwear and accessories. These products are sold worldwide and worn by athletes at all levels, from youth to professional on playing fields around the globe, as well as by consumers with active lifestyles.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Under Armour, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements was condensed or omitted for the interim periods presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations were included. All intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 is derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “2010 Form 10-K”), which should be read in conjunction with these consolidated financial statements. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011 or any other portions thereof.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are due from large sporting goods retailers. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition, and generally collateral is not required. The most significant customers that accounted for a large portion of net revenues and accounts receivable were as follows:

The Company charges certain customers shipping and handling fees. These fees are recorded in net revenues. The Company includes the majority of outbound handling costs as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. Outbound handling costs include costs associated with preparing goods to ship to customers and certain costs to operate the Company’s distribution facilities. These costs, included within selling, general and administrative expenses, were $8.0 million and $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $18.2 million and $12.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company includes outbound freight costs associated with shipping goods to customers as a component of cost of goods sold.

Minority Investment

Beginning in January 2011, the Company has held a minority equity investment in Dome Corporation (“Dome”), its Japanese licensee. As of September 30, 2011, the carrying value of the Company’s investment was $14.8 million, and was

included in other long term assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The investment is accounted for under the cost method and is subject to foreign currency translation rate fluctuations as it is held by the Company’s European subsidiary.

Management Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates, including estimates relating to assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2011, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update which eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. It requires an entity to present total comprehensive income, which includes the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income, either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. This pronouncement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company believes the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update which clarifies requirements for how to measure fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements common to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and International Financial Reporting Standards. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The Company believes the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

4. Acquisitions

In July 2011, the Company acquired approximately 400.0 thousand square feet of office space comprising part of its corporate headquarters for $60.5 million. The acquisition included land, buildings, building equipment and improvements, and third party lease related intangible assets. Prior to the acquisition, the Company leased approximately 170.0 thousand square feet of the acquired space, and the Company now leases an additional 66.4 thousand square feet. The Company intends to use this space for future expansion of its corporate headquarters. Since the acquisition, the Company has invested $1.9 million in additional improvements.

The acquisition included the assumption of a $38.6 million loan secured by the property and the remaining purchase price was paid in cash funded by the $25.0 million term loan borrowed in May 2011. The carrying value of the assumed loan approximated its fair value on the date of the acquisition. Refer to Note 5 for a discussion of the assumed loan and term loan. A $1.0 million deposit was paid upon signing the purchase agreement in November 2010.

The aggregate fair value of the acquisition was $63.8 million. The fair value was estimated using a combination of market, income and cost approaches. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, and as such the Company recognized a bargain purchase gain of $3.3 million as the amount by which the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the fair value of the purchase price.

In connection with this acquisition, the Company incurred acquisition related expenses of approximately $1.9 million. Both the acquisition related expenses and pre-tax bargain purchase gain were included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. This transaction is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated statements of income in future periods.

Table of Contents

The Company believes that it was able to negotiate the acquisition of the net assets for less than fair value because the seller marketed the property in a limited manner, and thus the property did not have adequate exposure to the market prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for real estate transactions. In addition, the Company was the majority tenant immediately prior to the acquisition and was willing and qualified to assume the secured loan. The recorded amounts are provisional and subject to change. The Company continues to evaluate the purchase price allocation, including the opening fair value allocation of property and equipment, and the value of lease related intangible assets.

5. Credit Facility and Long Term Debt

Credit Facility

In March 2011, the Company entered into a new $325.0 million credit facility with certain lending institutions and terminated its prior $200.0 million revolving credit facility in order to increase the Company’s available financing and to expand its lending syndicate. The credit facility has a term of four years and provides for a committed revolving credit line of up to $300.0 million, in addition to a $25.0 million term loan facility. The commitment amount under the revolving credit facility may be increased by an additional $50.0 million, subject to certain conditions and approvals as set forth in the credit agreement. The Company incurred and capitalized $1.6 million in deferred financing costs in connection with the credit facility.

The credit facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes and is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries (other than their trademarks and the corporate headquarters that the Company purchased in July 2011) and by a pledge of 65% of the equity interests of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Up to $5.0 million of the facility may be used to support letters of credit, of which none were outstanding as of September 30, 2011. The Company is required to maintain a certain leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio as set forth in the credit agreement. As of September 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with these ratios. The credit agreement also provides the lenders with the ability to reduce the borrowing base, even if the Company is in compliance with all conditions of the credit agreement, upon a material adverse change to the business, properties, assets, financial condition or results of operations of the Company. The credit agreement contains a number of restrictions that limit the Company’s ability, among other things, and subject to certain limited exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness, pledge its assets as security, guaranty obligations of third parties, make investments, undergo a merger or consolidation, dispose of assets, or materially change its line of business. In addition, the credit agreement includes a cross default provision whereby an event of default under other debt obligations, as defined in the credit agreement, will be considered an event of default under the credit agreement.

Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest based on the daily balance outstanding at LIBOR (with no rate floor) plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.25% to 1.75%) or, in certain cases a base rate (based on a certain lending institution’s Prime Rate or as otherwise specified in the credit agreement, with no rate floor) plus an applicable margin (varying from 0.25% to 0.75%). The credit facility also carries a commitment fee equal to the available but unused borrowings multiplied by an applicable margin (varying from 0.25% to 0.35%). The applicable margins are calculated quarterly and vary based on the Company’s leverage ratio as set forth in the credit agreement.

Upon entering into the credit facility in March 2011, the Company terminated its prior $200.0 million revolving credit facility. The prior revolving credit facility was collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, other than its trademarks, and included covenants, conditions and other terms similar to the Company’s new credit facility.

In May 2011, the Company borrowed $25.0 million under the term loan facility to finance a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of part of the Company’s corporate headquarters. The interest rate on the term loan was 1.5% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. The maturity date of the term loan is March 2015, which is the end of the credit facility term. In addition to the term loan, the Company borrowed $30.0 million under the revolving credit facility to fund seasonal working capital requirements. The $30.0 million balance is expected to be fully repaid prior to December 31, 2011. The interest rate under the revolving credit facility was 1.5% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. No balances were outstanding under the prior revolving credit facility during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Long Term Debt

The Company has long term debt agreements with various lenders to finance the acquisition or lease of qualifying capital investments. Loans under these agreements are collateralized by a first lien on the related assets acquired. As these agreements are not committed facilities, each advance is subject to approval by the lenders. Additionally, these agreements include a cross default provision whereby an event of default under other debt obligations, including the Company’s credit

Table of Contents

facility, will be considered an event of default under these agreements. These agreements require a prepayment fee if the Company pays outstanding amounts ahead of the scheduled terms. The terms of the credit facility limit the total amount of additional financing under these agreements to $40.0 million, of which $21.5 million was remaining as of September 30, 2011. At September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, the outstanding principal balance under these agreements was $16.1 million, $15.9 million and $18.5 million, respectively. Currently, advances under these agreements bear interest rates which are fixed at the time of each advance. The weighted average interest rates on outstanding borrowings were 3.1% and 5.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and 4.2% and 5.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company monitors the financial health and stability of its lenders under the credit and long term debt facilities, however instability in the credit markets could negatively impact lenders and their ability to perform under their facilities.

In July 2011, in connection with the Company’s acquisition of a portion of its corporate headquarters, the Company assumed a $38.6 million nonrecourse loan secured by a mortgage on the acquired property. The acquisition of a portion of the Company’s corporate headquarters was accounted for as a business combination, and the carrying value of the loan secured by the acquired property approximates fair value. The assumed loan had an original term of approximately ten years with a scheduled maturity date of March 1, 2013. The loan includes a balloon payment of $37.3 million due at maturity, and may not be prepaid. The assumed loan is a nonrecourse loan with the lender’s remedies for non-performance limited to action against the acquired property and certain required reserves and a cash collateral account, except for nonrecourse carveouts related to fraud, breaches of certain representations, warranties or covenants, including those related to environmental matters, and other standard carveouts for a loan of this type. The loan requires certain minimum cash flows and financial results from the property, and if those requirements are not met, additional reserves may be required. The Company leases approximately 236.0 thousand square feet of the approximately 400.0 thousand square feet of office space on the property through an intercompany lease, and leases the remaining space to third party tenants. The Company will continue to expand and occupy additional space as it becomes available. The assumed loan requires prior approval of the lender for certain matters related to the property, including material leases, changes to property management, transfers of any part of the property and material alterations to the property. The loan has an interest rate of 6.73%. In connection with the assumed loan, the Company incurred and capitalized $0.8 million in deferred financing costs. As of September 30, 2011, the outstanding balance on the loan was $38.4 million. In addition, in connection with the assumed loan for the acquisition of its corporate headquarters, the Company was required to set aside $4.9 million in restricted cash in reserve and cash collateral accounts. As of September 30, 2011, $1.9 million was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and the remaining $3.0 million was included in other long term assets.

Interest expense was $1.6 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $2.5 million and $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Interest expense includes the amortization of deferred financing costs and interest expense under the credit and long term debt facilities, as well as the assumed loan discussed above.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

In July 2011, in connection with the acquisition of part of its corporate headquarters, the Company assumed a $38.6 million loan secured by the acquired property. The remaining purchase price was funded through a $25.0 million term loan. Refer to Note 5 for a discussion of the assumed loan and term loan.

There were no additional significant changes to the contractual obligations reported in the 2010 Form 10-K other than those which occur in the normal course of business.

7. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The fair value accounting guidance outlines a valuation framework, creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures, and prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Financial assets and (liabilities) measured at fair value as of September 30, 2011 are set forth in the table below:

     —           3,756        —     

Deferred Compensation Plan obligations

     —           (3,233     —     

Fair values of the financial assets and liabilities listed above are determined using inputs that use as their basis readily observable market data that are actively quoted and are validated through external sources, including third party pricing services and brokers. The foreign currency forward contracts represent gains and losses on derivative contracts, which are the net difference between the currency to be received or paid at each contract’s settlement date and the value of the foreign currency to be sold or purchased at the current forward exchange rate. The fair value of the TOLI held by the Rabbi Trust is based on the cash-surrender value of the life insurance policies, which are invested primarily in mutual funds and a separately managed fixed income fund. These investments are in the same funds and purchased in substantially the same amounts as the selected investments of participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan, which represent the underlying liabilities to participants in this plan. Obligations under the Deferred Compensation Plan are recorded at amounts due to participants, based on the fair value of participants’ selected investments.

8. Stock-Based Compensation

In February 2011, 0.3 million performance-based restricted stock units were awarded to certain executives and key employees under the 2005 Amended and Restated Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan. The performance-based restricted stock units have vesting that is tied to the achievement of a certain combined annual operating income target for 2012 and 2013. Upon the achievement of the combined operating income target, 50% of the restricted stock units will vest on February 15, 2014 and the remaining 50% will vest on February 15, 2015. If certain lower levels of combined operating income for 2012 and 2013 are achieved, fewer or no restricted stock units will vest at that time and one year later, and the remaining restricted stock units will be forfeited. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had not begun recording stock-based compensation expense for these performance-based restricted stock units as the Company determined the achievement of the combined operating income targets was not probable. The Company will assess the probability of the achievement of the operating income targets at the end of each reporting period. If it becomes probable that the performance targets related to these performance-based restricted stock units will be achieved, a cumulative adjustment will be recorded as if ratable stock-based compensation expense had been recorded since the grant date. Additional stock based compensation of up to $3.8 million would have been recorded through September 30, 2011 for these performance-based restricted stock units had the achievement of these operating income targets been deemed probable.

As of September 30, 2011, the Company has recorded stock-based compensation expense for all of the performance-based stock options granted during 2010 as the Company determined the achievement of certain combined operating income targets for 2011 and 2012 was probable. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, a cumulative adjustment of $2.1 million was recorded as if ratable stock-based compensation had been recorded since the grant date.

9. Foreign Currency Risk Management and Derivatives

The Company is exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relating to transactions generated by its international subsidiaries in currencies other than their local currencies. These gains and losses are primarily driven by intercompany transactions. From time to time, the Company may elect to enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on intercompany transactions and projected inventory purchases for its European and Canadian subsidiaries. In addition, the Company may elect to enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on Pound Sterling denominated balance sheet items.

As of September 30, 2011, the notional value of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency forward contracts used to mitigate the foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on its Canadian subsidiary’s intercompany transactions was $79.5 million with contract maturities of 1 month. As of September 30, 2011, the notional value of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency forward contracts used to mitigate the foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on its European subsidiary’s intercompany transactions was $48.0 million with contract maturities of 1 month. As of September 30, 2011, the notional value of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency forward contract used to mitigate the foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on Pounds Sterling denominated balance sheet items was €3.5 million, or $4.6 million, with a contract maturity of 1 month. The foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges, and accordingly, changes in their fair value are recorded in other expense, net. As of September 30, 2011, the fair values of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts were assets of $0.5 million, and were included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, the fair values of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts were liabilities of $0.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and were

included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 7 for a discussion of the fair value measurements. Included in other expense, net were the following amounts related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and derivative foreign currency forward contracts:

The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts with major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings and is exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by these financial institutions. This credit risk is generally limited to the unrealized gains in the foreign currency forward contracts. However, the Company monitors the credit quality of these financial institutions and considers the risk of counterparty default to be minimal.

10. Provision for Income Taxes

The Company recorded $26.2 million and $21.1 million of income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $38.6 million and $28.9 million of income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

As of September 30, 2011, the Company had $11.4 million in deferred tax assets associated with foreign net operating loss carryforwards for its European subsidiary which will begin to expire in 4 to 9 years. During 2010, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against a portion of this foreign net operating loss carryforward. As of September 30, 2011, the Company believed it was more likely than not that the full amount of the foreign net operating loss carryforwards would be realized due to favorable developments in the Company’s ongoing tax planning strategies. As a result the Company has reversed the valuation allowance resulting in a decrease of $1.8 million to income tax expense for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2011. Although realization of these foreign net operating loss carryforwards is not assured, the Company believes it is more likely than not that the full $11.4 million will be realized. This realizable amount could be decreased if future taxable income during the carryforward periods is increased or reduced.

The effective rates for income taxes were 37.5% and 38.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was lower than the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily due to the reversal of the valuation allowance discussed above. The Company’s annual 2011 effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 38.4%.

Stock options representing 46.5 thousand and 755.2 thousand shares of common stock outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Stock options and restricted stock units representing 58.7 thousand shares of common stock outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and stock options, restricted stock units and warrants representing 1.1 million shares of common stock outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

12. Segment Data and Related Information

The Company’s operating segments are based on how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) makes decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance. As such, the CODM receives discrete financial information by geographic region based on the Company’s strategy to become a global brand. These geographic regions include North America; Latin America; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); and Asia. The Company’s operating segments are based on these geographic regions. Each geographic segment operates exclusively in one industry: the development, marketing and distribution of branded performance apparel, footwear and accessories. Due to the insignificance of the EMEA, Latin America and Asia operating segments, they have been combined into other foreign countries for disclosure purposes.

The geographic distribution of the Company’s net revenues, operating income and total assets are summarized in the following tables based on the location of its customers and operations. Net revenues represent sales to external customers for each segment. In addition to net revenues, operating income is a primary financial measure used by the Company to evaluate performance of each segment. Intercompany balances were eliminated for separate disclosure and corporate expenses from North America have not been allocated to other foreign countries.

Overview

We are a leading developer, marketer and distributor of branded performance apparel, footwear and accessories. The brand’s moisture-wicking fabrications are engineered in many different designs and styles for wear in nearly every climate to provide a performance alternative to traditional products. Our products are sold worldwide and worn by athletes at all levels, from youth to professional, on playing fields around the globe, as well as by consumers with active lifestyles.

Table of Contents

We are a growth company as evidenced by the increase in net revenues to $1,063.9 million in 2010 from $430.7 million in 2006. We reported net revenues of $1,069.6 million for the first nine months of 2011, which represented a 40.2% increase from the first nine months of 2010. We believe that our growth in net revenues has been driven by a growing interest in performance products and the strength of the Under Armour brand in the marketplace. We plan to continue to increase our net revenues over the long term by increased sales of our apparel, footwear and accessories, expansion of our wholesale distribution sales channel, growth in our direct to consumer sales channel and expansion in international markets. Our direct to consumer sales channel includes our factory house and specialty stores, website and catalog. New offerings for 2011 include hats and bags, as well as Charged Cotton® products.

Our products are currently offered in approximately twenty five thousand retail stores worldwide. A large majority of our products are sold in North America; however, we believe our products appeal to athletes and consumers with active lifestyles around the globe. Outside of North America, our products are offered primarily in Austria, France, Germany, Ireland and the United Kingdom, as well as in Japan through a licensee, and through distributors located in other foreign countries. We hold a minority investment in our licensee in Japan.

Our operating segments are geographic and include North America; Latin America; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); and Asia. Due to the insignificance of the EMEA, Latin America and Asia operating segments, they have been combined into other foreign countries for disclosure purposes.

General

Net revenues comprise both net sales and license revenues. Net sales comprise sales from our primary product categories, which are apparel, footwear and accessories. Our license revenues consist of fees paid to us by our licensees in exchange for the use of our trademarks on core products of socks, eyewear, custom-molded mouth guards, other accessories and team uniforms, as well as the distribution of our products in Japan. Prior to 2011, hats and bags were sold by a licensee. We expect our net revenues to increase by $65 million to $70 million from 2010 to 2011 as a result of developing our own hats and bags, which includes an increase in accessories revenues and a decrease in our license revenues in 2011. In addition, we expect the related cost of goods sold to increase.

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of product costs, inbound freight and duty costs, outbound freight costs, handling costs to make products floor-ready to customer specifications, royalty payments to endorsers based on a predetermined percentage of sales of selected products and write downs for inventory obsolescence. The fabrics in many of our products are made of petroleum-based synthetic materials. Therefore our product costs, as well as our inbound and outbound freight costs, could be affected by long term pricing trends of oil. In general, as a percentage of net revenues, we expect cost of goods sold associated with our apparel and accessories to be lower than that of our footwear. No cost of goods sold is associated with license revenues.

We include outbound freight costs associated with shipping goods to customers as cost of goods sold; however, we include the majority of outbound handling costs as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. As a result, our gross profit may not be comparable to that of other companies that include outbound handling costs in their cost of goods sold. Outbound handling costs include costs associated with preparing goods to ship to customers and certain costs to operate our distribution facilities. These costs were $8.0 million and $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $18.2 million and $12.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist of costs related to marketing, selling, product innovation and supply chain and corporate services. Personnel costs are included in these categories based on the employees’ function. Personnel costs include salaries, benefits, incentives and stock-based compensation related to the employee. Our marketing costs are an important driver of our growth. Marketing costs consist primarily of commercials, print ads, league, team, player and event sponsorships, amortization of footwear promotional rights and depreciation expense specific to our in-store fixture program. In addition, marketing costs include costs associated with our Special Make-Up Shop (“SMU Shop”) located at one of our distribution facilities where we manufacture a limited number of products primarily for our league, team, player and event sponsorships. Selling costs consist primarily of costs relating to sales through our wholesale channel, commissions paid to third parties and the majority of our direct to consumer sales channel costs, including the cost of factory house and specialty store leases. Product innovation and supply chain costs include our apparel, footwear and accessories product innovation, sourcing and development costs, distribution facility operating costs, and costs relating to our Hong Kong and Guangzhou, China offices which help support manufacturing, quality assurance and sourcing efforts. Corporate services primarily consist of corporate facility operating costs and company-wide administrative expenses.

Other expense, net consists of unrealized and realized gains and losses on our derivative financial instruments and unrealized and realized gains and losses on adjustments that arise from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relating to transactions generated by our international subsidiaries.

$44.0 million, or 73.0%, increase in direct to consumer sales, which includes 26 additional stores, or a 52% increase, since September 30, 2010;

 

   

unit growth driven by increased distribution and new offerings in multiple product categories, most significantly in our training (including the new Charged Cotton® product), hunting, base layer, graphics (primarily Tech-Tees), basketball and golf apparel categories, along with running and basketball shoes; and

Table of Contents
   

$26.9 million, or 211.0%, increase in wholesale accessories sales due to bringing hats and bags sales in-house effective January 1, 2011.

License revenues decreased $2.3 million, or 17.8%, to $10.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $12.7 million during the same period in 2010. This decrease in license revenues was a result of a $3.5 million reduction in license revenues related to hats and bags, partially offset by increased sales by our licensees due to increased distribution and continued unit volume growth.

Gross profit increased $57.7 million to $225.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $167.4 million for the same period in 2010. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues, or gross margin, decreased 250 basis points to 48.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 50.9% during the same period in 2010. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily driven by the following:

 

   

less favorable North American apparel sales product mix and input costs, accounting for an approximate 140 basis point decrease;

 

   

decrease in license revenues due to bringing hats and bags sales in-house effective January 1, 2011, accounting for an approximate 70 basis point decrease; and

 

   

impact of favorable inventory reserve reductions in the prior year, partially offset by decreased discounts and apparel sales allowance reserves, accounting for an approximate 40 basis point decrease.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $39.4 million to $150.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $110.7 million for the same period in 2010. As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 32.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from 33.6% for the same period in 2010. These changes were primarily attributable to the following:

 

   

Marketing costs increased $12.4 million to $48.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $36.0 million for the same period in 2010 primarily due to increased television and digital campaign costs, including media campaigns for specific customers, and sponsorships of professional teams, athletes and events. As a percentage of net revenues, marketing costs decreased to 10.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from 10.9% for the same period in 2010 primarily due to the 41.7% increase in net revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, partially offset by increased investments in television campaigns.

 

   

Selling costs increased $13.1 million to $36.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $23.3 million for the same period in 2010. This increase was primarily due to higher personnel and other costs incurred for the continued expansion of our direct to consumer distribution channel and higher selling personnel costs. As a percentage of net revenues, selling costs increased to 7.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from 7.1% for the same period in 2010 primarily due to higher personnel and other costs incurred for the continued expansion of our direct to consumer distribution channel.

 

   

Product innovation and supply chain costs increased $10.6 million to $35.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $25.3 million for the same period in 2010 primarily due to higher distribution facilities operating and personnel costs to support our growth in net revenues and higher personnel costs for the design and sourcing of our expanding apparel, footwear and accessory lines. As a percentage of net revenues, product innovation and supply chain costs remained unchanged at 7.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

 

   

Corporate services costs increased $3.3 million to $29.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $26.1 million for the same period in 2010. This increase was attributable primarily to higher corporate personnel and information technology initiatives necessary to support our growth. As a percentage of net revenues, corporate services costs decreased to 6.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from 7.9% for the same period in 2010 primarily due to decreased personnel costs as a percentage of net revenues as well as the net impact of the acquisition of a portion of our corporate headquarters.

Income from operations increased $18.3 million, or 32.2%, to $75.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $56.7 million for the same period in 2010. Income from operations as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 16.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from 17.3% for the same period in 2010. This decrease was a result of the items discussed above.

Interest expense, net increased $1.1 million to $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $0.5 million for the same period in 2010. This increase was primarily due to the assumed loan for the acquisition of our corporate headquarters.

Table of Contents

Other expense, net increased $1.0 million to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $0.2 million for the same period in 2010. This increase was due to higher net losses on the combined foreign currency exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in foreign currencies and our derivative financial instruments as compared to the same period in 2010.

Provision for income taxes increased $5.1 million to $26.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $21.1 million during the same period in 2010. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, our effective tax rate was 36.3% compared to 37.7% for the same period in 2010. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was lower than the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2010 primarily due to the reversal of a valuation allowance recorded in 2010 against a portion of our deferred tax assets related to foreign net operating loss carryforwards due to favorable developments in our ongoing tax planning strategies. Our annual 2011 effective tax rate is projected to be approximately 38.4%.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

Net revenues increased $306.8 million, or 40.2%, to $1,069.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $762.8 million for the same period in 2010. Net revenues by product category are summarized below:

$102.0 million, or 70.5%, increase in direct to consumer sales, which includes 26 additional stores, or a 52% increase, since September 30, 2010;

 

   

unit growth driven by increased distribution and new offerings in multiple product categories, most significantly in our training (including the new Charged Cotton® product), base layer, graphics (primarily Tech-Tees), golf, running and hunting apparel categories, along with running and basketball shoes; and

 

   

$66.5 million, or 228.2%, increase in wholesale accessories sales due to bringing hats and bags sales in-house effective January 1, 2011.

License revenues decreased $3.9 million, or 13.6%, to $25.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $28.9 million during the same period in 2010. This decrease in license revenues was a result of a $7.8 million reduction in license revenues related to hats and bags, partially offset by increased sales by our licensees due to increased distribution and continued unit volume growth.

Gross profit increased $130.0 million to $504.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $374.9 million for the same period in 2010. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues, or gross margin, decreased 200 basis points to 47.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 49.2% during the same period in 2010. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily driven by the following:

 

   

less favorable North American apparel sales product mix and input costs, accounting for an approximate 130 basis point decrease; and

 

   

decrease in license revenues due to bringing hats and bags sales in-house effective January 1, 2011, accounting for an approximate 60 basis point decrease.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $99.7 million to $397.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $297.8 million for the same period in 2010. As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 37.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from 39.1% for the same period in 2010. These changes were primarily attributable to the following:

Marketing costs increased $29.3 million to $124.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $94.7 million for the same period in 2010 primarily due to increased sponsorships of events and collegiate and professional teams and athletes, increased television and digital campaign costs, including media campaigns for specific customers and additional personnel costs. As a percentage of net revenues, marketing costs decreased to 11.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from 12.4% for the same period in 2010 primarily due to decreased sponsorships of collegiate and professional teams and decreased marketing costs for specific customers as a percentage of net revenues.

 

   

Selling costs increased $30.8 million to $95.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $64.2 million for the same period in 2010. This increase was primarily due to higher personnel and other costs incurred for the continued expansion of our direct to consumer distribution channel and higher selling personnel costs. As a percentage of net revenues, selling costs increased to 8.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from 8.5% for the same period in 2010 primarily due to higher personnel and other costs incurred for the continued expansion of our factory house stores.

 

   

Product innovation and supply chain costs increased $26.7 million to $96.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $69.5 million for the same period in 2010 primarily due to higher distribution facilities operating and personnel costs to support our growth in net revenues and higher personnel costs for the design and sourcing of our expanding apparel, footwear and accessory lines. As a percentage of net revenues, product innovation and supply chain costs decreased slightly to 9.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from 9.1% for the same period in 2010.

 

   

Corporate services costs increased $12.9 million to $82.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $69.4 million for the same period in 2010. This increase was attributable primarily to higher corporate personnel and facility costs and information technology initiatives necessary to support our growth. As a percentage of net revenues, corporate services costs decreased to 7.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from 9.1% for the same period in 2010 primarily due to the items noted above.

Income from operations increased $30.3 million, or 39.3%, to $107.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $77.2 million for the same period in 2010. Income from operations as a percentage of net revenues decreased slightly to 10.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from 10.1% for the same period in 2010. This decrease was a result of the items discussed above.

Interest expense, net increased $0.7 million to $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $1.7 million for the same period in 2010. This increase was primarily due to the assumed loan for the acquisition of our corporate headquarters.

Other expense, net increased $1.1 million to $2.1 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2011 from $1.0 million for the same period in 2010. This increase was due to higher net losses on the combined foreign currency exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in foreign currencies and our derivative financial instruments as compared to the same period in 2010.

Provision for income taxes increased $9.7 million to $38.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $28.9 million during the same period in 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our effective tax rate was 37.5% compared to 38.9% for the same period in 2010. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was lower than the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily due to the reversal of a valuation allowance recorded in 2010 against a portion of our deferred tax assets related to foreign net operating loss carryforwards due to favorable developments in our ongoing tax planning strategies. Our annual 2011 effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 38.4%.

Operating income in other foreign countries increased by $0.8 million to $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $5.8 million for the same period in 2010 primarily due to increased unit sales growth as discussed above, partially offset by higher costs associated with our continued investment to support our international expansion in our EMEA, Asian and Latin American operating segments.

Seasonality

Historically, we have recognized a significant portion of our income from operations in the last two quarters of the year, driven primarily by increased sales volume of our products during the fall selling season, reflecting our historical strength in fall sports, and the seasonality of our higher priced COLDGEAR® line. Historically, a larger portion of our income from operations has been in the last two quarters of the year partially due to the shift in the timing of marketing

Table of Contents

investments to the first two quarters of the year. The majority of our net revenues were generated during the last two quarters in each of 2010 and 2009. The level of our working capital generally reflects the seasonality and growth in our business.

Financial Position, Capital Resources and Liquidity

Our cash requirements have principally been for working capital and capital expenditures. We fund our working capital, primarily inventory, and capital investments from cash flows from operating activities, cash and cash equivalents on hand and borrowings available under our credit and long term debt facilities. Our working capital requirements generally reflect the seasonality and growth in our business as we recognize the majority of our net revenues in the back half of the year. Our capital investments have included expanding our in-store fixture and branded concept shop program, improvements and expansion of our distribution and corporate facilities to support our growth, leasehold improvements to our new factory house and specialty stores, and investment and improvements in information technology systems. Our capital expenditures in 2011 include the acquisition of part of our corporate headquarters for $60.5 million along with approximately $2.5 million in additional related investments and improvements. In connection with the acquisition, we assumed a $38.6 million loan secured by the acquired property. The remaining purchase price was funded through a $25.0 million term loan.

Our focus remains on inventory management including improving our planning capabilities, managing our inventory purchases, reducing our production lead times and selling excess inventory through our factory house stores and other liquidation channels. However, two factors contributed to inventory growth in excess of net revenue growth during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, including higher input costs and the transition of our hats and bags in-house beginning January 2011. We continue to anticipate inventory growth moving more in line with net revenue growth during the fourth quarter.

We believe our cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash from operations and borrowings available to us under our credit and long term debt facilities will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. We may require additional capital to meet our longer term liquidity and future growth needs. Although we believe we have adequate sources of liquidity over the long term, a prolonged economic recession or a slow recovery could adversely affect our business and liquidity. In addition, instability in or tightening of the capital markets could adversely affect our ability to obtain additional capital to grow our business and will affect the cost and terms of such capital.

Operating Activities

Operating activities consist primarily of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items. Adjustments to net income for non-cash items generally include depreciation and amortization, unrealized foreign currency exchange rate gains and losses, losses on disposals of property and equipment, stock-based compensation, deferred income taxes and changes in reserves and allowances. In addition, operating cash flows include the effect of changes in operating assets and liabilities, principally inventories, accounts receivable, income taxes payable and receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Cash used in operating activities increased $94.2 million to $126.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $31.9 million during the same period in 2010. The increase in cash used in operating activities was due to increased net cash outflows from operating assets and liabilities of $124.7 million, partially offset by adjustments to net income for non-cash items which increased $11.7 million period over period and additional net income of $18.8 million. The

 

20


Table of Contents

increase in cash outflows related to changes in operating assets and liabilities period over period was primarily driven by the following:

 

   

an increase in net inventory investments of $62.3 million. In line with our expectations, inventory grew at a rate higher than net revenue growth due to higher input costs, increased safety stock in core product offerings and seasonal products to better meet anticipated consumer demand and investments in new products including hats and bags;

 

   

a larger increase in accounts receivable of $35.9 million in the first nine months of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to the 44.1% increase in net sales during the third quarter of 2011; and

 

   

a larger increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $17.9 million in the first nine months of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to income taxes paid during the three months ended September 30, 2011 related to our ongoing tax planning strategies that are to be recognized in income tax expense in future periods.

Adjustments to net income for non-cash items increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period of the prior year primarily due to a net increase in reserves and allowances in the current period as compared to a net decrease in the same period of 2010.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities, which includes capital expenditures and the purchase of trust owned life insurance policies, increased $55.0 million to $77.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $22.9 million for the same period in 2010. This increase in cash used in investing activities is primarily due to the acquisition of part of our corporate headquarters and increased investments in our in-store fixture program, direct to consumer sales channel and corporate and distribution facilities. In addition, in connection with the assumed loan for the acquisition of our corporate headquarters, we were required to set aside $4.9 million in restricted cash. Refer to Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the restricted cash.

Capital expenditures for the full year 2011 are anticipated to be $50.0 million to $53.0 million. In addition, our capital expenditures in 2011 also include the acquisition of part of our corporate headquarters for $60.5 million, along with approximately $2.5 million in additional related investments and improvements. In connection with the acquisition, we assumed a $38.6 million loan secured by the acquired property. The remaining purchase price was funded through a $25.0 million term loan in May 2011.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities increased $65.3 million to $70.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $4.7 million for the same period in 2010. This increase from the prior year period was primarily due to the borrowings under our revolving credit facility to fund seasonal working capital requirements and the term loan borrowed under the credit facility to partially fund the purchase of our corporate headquarters. In addition, we received higher proceeds from the exercise of stock options and additional excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation arrangements in the 2011 period as compared to the 2010 period.

Credit Facility

In March 2011, we entered into a new $325.0 million credit facility with certain lending institutions and terminated our prior $200.0 million revolving credit facility in order to increase our available financing and to expand our lending syndicate. The credit facility has a term of four years and provides for a committed revolving credit line of up to $300.0 million in addition to a $25.0 million term loan facility. The commitment amount under the revolving credit facility may be increased by an additional $50.0 million, subject to certain conditions and approvals as set forth in the credit agreement. We incurred and capitalized $1.6 million in deferred financing costs in connection with the credit facility.

The credit facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes and is collateralized by substantially all of our assets and certain of our domestic subsidiaries (other than our trademarks and the corporate headquarters that we purchased in July 2011) and by a pledge of 65% of the equity interests of certain of our foreign subsidiaries. Up to $5.0 million of the facility may be used to support letters of credit, of which none were outstanding as of September 30, 2011. We are required to maintain a certain leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio as set forth in the credit agreement. As of September 30, 2011, we were in compliance with these ratios. The credit agreement also provides the lenders with the ability to reduce the borrowing base, even if we are in compliance with all conditions of the credit agreement, upon a material adverse change to our business, properties, assets, financial condition or results of operations. The credit agreement contains a number of restrictions that limit our ability, among other things, and subject to certain limited exceptions, to incur

 

21


Table of Contents

additional indebtedness, pledge our assets as security, guaranty obligations of third parties, make investments, undergo a merger or consolidation, dispose of assets, or materially change our line of business. In addition, the credit agreement includes a cross default provision whereby an event of default under other debt obligations, as defined in the credit agreement, will be considered an event of default under the credit agreement.

Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest based on the daily balance outstanding at LIBOR (with no rate floor) plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.25% to 1.75%) or, in certain cases a base rate (based on a certain lending institution’s Prime Rate or as otherwise specified in the credit agreement, with no rate floor) plus an applicable margin (varying from 0.25% to 0.75%). The credit facility also carries a commitment fee equal to the available but unused borrowings multiplied by an applicable margin (varying from 0.25% to 0.35%). The applicable margins are calculated quarterly and vary based on our leverage ratio as set forth in the credit agreement.

Upon entering into the credit facility in March 2011, we terminated our prior $200.0 million revolving credit facility. The prior revolving credit facility was collateralized by substantially all of our assets, other than our trademarks, and included covenants, conditions and other terms similar to our new credit facility.

In May 2011, we borrowed $25.0 million under the term loan facility to finance a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of our corporate headquarters. The interest rate on the term loan was 1.5% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. The maturity date of the term loan is March 2015, which is the end of the credit facility term. In addition to the term loan, we borrowed $30.0 million under the revolving credit facility to fund seasonal working capital requirements. This balance is expected to be fully repaid prior to December 31, 2011. The interest rate under the revolving credit facility was 1.5% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. No balances were outstanding under the prior revolving credit facility during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Long Term Debt

We have long term debt agreements with various lenders to finance the acquisition of or lease of qualifying capital investments. Loans under these agreements are collateralized by a first lien on the related assets acquired. As these agreements are not committed facilities, each advance is subject to approval by the lenders. Additionally, these agreements include a cross default provision whereby an event of default under other debt obligations, including our credit facility, will be considered an event of default under these agreements. In addition, these agreements require a prepayment fee if we pay outstanding amounts ahead of the scheduled terms. The terms of our credit facility limit the total amount of additional financing under these agreements to $40.0 million, of which $21.5 million was remaining as of September 30, 2011. At September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, the outstanding principal balances under these agreements were $16.1 million, $15.9 million and $18.5 million, respectively. Currently, advances under these agreements bear interest rates which are fixed at the time of each advance. The weighted average interest rates on outstanding borrowings were 3.1% and 5.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and 4.2% and 5.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

We monitor the financial health and stability of our lenders under our credit and long term debt facilities, however instability in the credit markets could negatively impact lenders and their ability to perform under these facilities.

In July 2011, in connection with our acquisition of a portion of our corporate headquarters, we assumed a $38.6 million nonrecourse loan secured by a mortgage on the acquired property. The acquisition of a portion of our corporate headquarters was accounted for as a business combination, and the carrying value of the loan secured by the acquired property approximates fair value. The assumed loan had an original term of approximately ten years with a scheduled maturity date of March 1, 2013. The loan includes a balloon payment of $37.3 million due at maturity, and may not be prepaid. The assumed loan is a nonrecourse loan with the lender’s remedies for non-performance limited to action against the acquired property and certain required reserves and a cash collateral account, except for nonrecourse carveouts related to fraud, breaches of certain representations, warranties or covenants, including those related to environmental matters, and other standard carveouts for a loan of this type. The loan requires certain minimum cash flows and financial results from the property, and if those requirements are not met, additional reserves may be required. We lease approximately 236.0 thousand square feet of the approximately 400.0 thousand square feet of office space on the property through an intercompany lease, and lease the remaining space to third party tenants. We will continue to expand and occupy additional space as it becomes available. The assumed loan requires prior approval of the lender for certain matters related to the property, including material leases, changes to property management, transfers of any part of the property and material alterations to the property. The loan has an interest rate of 6.73%. In connection with the assumed loan, we incurred and capitalized $0.8 million in deferred financing costs. As of September 30, 2011, the outstanding balance on the loan was $38.4 million. In addition, in connection with the assumed loan for the acquisition of our corporate headquarters, we were required to set aside $4.9 million in restricted cash in reserve and cash collateral accounts. As of September 30, 2011, $1.9 million was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and the remaining $3.0 million was included in other long term assets.

Acquisitions

In July 2011, we acquired approximately 400.0 thousand square feet of office space comprising part of our corporate headquarters for $60.5 million. The acquisition included land, buildings, building equipment and improvements, and third party lease related intangible assets. Prior to the acquisition, we leased approximately 170.0 thousand square feet of the acquired space, and we now lease an additional 66.4 thousand square feet. We intend to use this space for future expansion of our corporate headquarters. Since the acquisition, we have invested $1.9 million in additional improvements.

The acquisition included the assumption of a $38.6 million loan secured by the property and the remaining purchase price was paid in cash funded by the $25.0 million term loan borrowed in May 2011. The carrying value of the assumed loan approximated its fair value on the date of the acquisition. Refer to Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the assumed loan and term loan. A $1.0 million deposit was paid upon signing the purchase agreement in November 2010.

The aggregate fair value of the acquisition was $63.8 million. The fair value was estimated using a combination of market, income and cost approaches. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, and as such we recognized a bargain purchase gain of $3.3 million as the amount by which the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the fair value of the purchase price.

In connection with this acquisition, we incurred acquisition related expenses of approximately $1.9 million. Both the acquisition related expenses and pre-tax bargain purchase gain were included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. This transaction is not expected to have a material impact to our consolidated statements of income in future periods.

We believe that we were able to negotiate the acquisition of the net assets for less than fair value because the seller marketed the property in a limited manner, and thus the property did not have adequate exposure to the market prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for real estate transactions. In addition, we were the majority tenant immediately prior to the acquisition and were willing and qualified to assume the secured loan. The recorded amounts are provisional and subject to change. We continue to evaluate the purchase price allocation, including the opening fair value allocation of property and equipment, and the value of lease related intangible assets.

Contractual Commitments and Contingencies

In July 2011, in connection with the acquisition of our corporate headquarters, we assumed a $38.6 million loan secured by the acquired property. The remaining purchase price was funded through a $25.0 million term loan. Refer to Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the assumed loan and term loan.

There were no additional significant changes to the contractual obligations reported in our 2010 Form 10-K other than those which occur in the normal course of business.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2010 Form 10-K. The SEC suggests companies provide additional disclosure on those accounting policies considered most critical. The SEC considers an accounting policy to be critical if it is important to our financial condition and results of operations and requires significant judgments and estimates on the part of management in its application. Our estimates are often based on complex judgments, probabilities and assumptions that management believes to be reasonable, but that are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. It is also possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts. For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies, see the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of the MD&A in our 2010 Form 10-K. There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2011, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update which eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. It requires an entity to present total comprehensive income, which includes the components of net income and the components of other

Table of Contents

comprehensive income, either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. This pronouncement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. We believe the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update which clarifies requirements for how to measure fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements common to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and International Financial Reporting Standards. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. We believe the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Exchange and Foreign Currency Risk Management and Derivatives

We currently generate a small amount of our consolidated net revenues in Canada and Europe. The reporting currency for our consolidated financial statements is the U.S. dollar. To date, net revenues generated outside of the United States have not been significant. However, as our net revenues generated outside of the United States increase, our results of operations could be adversely impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For example, if we recognize foreign revenues in local foreign currencies (as we currently do in Canada and Europe) and if the U.S. dollar strengthens, it could have a negative impact on our foreign revenues upon translation of those results into the U.S. dollar upon consolidation of our financial statements. In addition, we are exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on transactions generated by our foreign subsidiaries in currencies other than their local currencies. These gains and losses are primarily driven by intercompany transactions. These exposures are included in other expense, net on the consolidated statements of income.

From time to time, we may elect to use foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the risk from exchange rate fluctuations on intercompany transactions and projected inventory purchases for our European and Canadian subsidiaries. In addition, we may elect to enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on Pound Sterling denominated balance sheet items. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

Based on the foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2011, we receive US Dollars in exchange for Canadian Dollars at a weighted average contractual forward foreign currency exchange rate of 1.03 CAD per $1.00, US Dollars in exchange for Euros at a weighted average contractual foreign currency exchange rate of 0.74 EUR per $1.00 and Euros in exchange for Pounds Sterling at a weighted average contractual foreign currency exchange rate of 0.87 GBP per 1.00 EUR. As of September 30, 2011, the notional value of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts for our Canadian subsidiary was $79.5 million with contract maturities of 1 month, and the notional value of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts for our European subsidiary was $48.0 million with contract maturities of 1 month. As of September 30, 2011, the notional value of our outstanding foreign currency forward contract used to mitigate the foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on Pound Sterling denominated balance sheet items was €3.5 million, or $4.6 million, with a contract maturity of 1 month. The foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges, and accordingly, changes in their fair value are recorded in other expense, net on the consolidated statements of income. As of September 30, 2011, the fair values of our foreign currency forward contracts were assets of $0.5 million, and were included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, the fair values of our foreign currency forward contracts were liabilities of $0.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and were included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 7 of the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the fair value measurements. Included in other expense, net were the following amounts related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and derivative foreign currency forward contracts:

Although we have entered into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize some of the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on future cash flows, we cannot be assured that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
