Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Wolverine World Wide, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Wolverine World Wide, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, operations and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended December 29, 2012. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Wolverine World Wide, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended December 29, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Wolverine World Wide, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 29, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 27, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

Wolverine World Wide, Inc. is a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of a broad range of quality casual footwear and apparel; performance outdoor and athletic footwear and apparel; children’s footwear, industrial work shoes, boots and apparel; and uniform shoes and boots. The Company’s portfolio of owned and licensed brands includes: Bates®, Cat® Footwear, Chaco®, Cushe®, Harley-Davidson® Footwear, Hush Puppies®, HyTest®, Keds®, Merrell®, Patagonia® Footwear, Saucony®, Sebago®, Soft Style® Sperry Top-Sider®, Stride Rite® and Wolverine® Licensing and distribution arrangements with third parties extend the global reach of the Company’s brand portfolio. The Company also operates a consumer-direct division to market both its own brands and branded footwear and apparel from other manufacturers as well as a leathers division that markets Wolverine Performance Leathers™.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Wolverine World Wide, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period that ends on the Saturday nearest to December 31. All fiscal years presented herein are 52-week periods.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized on the sale of products manufactured or sourced by the Company when the related goods have been shipped, legal title has passed to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue generated through licensees and distributors involving products bearing the Company’s trademarks is recognized as earned according to stated contractual terms upon either the purchase or shipment of branded products by licensees and distributors.

The Company records provisions for estimated sales returns and allowances at the time of sale based on historical rates of returns and allowances and specific identification of outstanding returns not yet received from customers. However, estimates of actual returns and allowances in any future period are inherently uncertain and actual returns and allowances may differ from these estimates. If actual or expected future returns and allowances were significantly greater or lower than established reserves, a reduction or increase to net revenues would be recorded in the period this determination was made.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold includes the actual product costs, including inbound freight charges and certain outbound freight charges, purchasing, sourcing, inspection and receiving costs. Warehousing costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs that are charged to and reimbursed by the customer are recognized as revenue, while the related expenses incurred by the Company are recorded as cost of goods sold.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market.

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts

The Company maintains an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable for estimated losses resulting from its customers’ inability to make required payments. Company management evaluates the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable based on a review of current customer status and historical collection experience.

Inventories

The Company values its inventory at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method for all domestic raw materials and work-in-process inventories and certain domestic finished goods inventories. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method for all raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods inventories in foreign countries; certain domestic finished goods inventories; and for all finished goods inventories of the Company’s consumer-direct business, due to the unique nature of those operations. The Company has applied these inventory cost valuation methods consistently from year to year.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated on the basis of cost and include expenditures for computer hardware and software, store furniture and fixtures, office furniture and machinery and equipment. Normal repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method. The depreciable lives range from 14 to 20 years for buildings and improvements and from 3 to 10 years for machinery, equipment and software. Leasehold improvements are depreciated at the lesser of the estimated useful life or lease term, including reasonably-assured lease renewals as determined at lease inception.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, legal and other third party costs associated with obtaining commitments for financing which result in a closing of such financings for the Company. These costs are amortized into earnings through interest expense over the terms of the respective agreements. Costs incurred in seeking financing transactions which do not close are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not close.

Acquisitions

The Company accounts for acquired businesses using the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method, the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the operations of an acquired business from the date of acquisition. In addition, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective estimated fair values, with any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired recorded as goodwill.

Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of intangible assets and in assigning their respective useful lives. Accordingly, the Company typically obtains the assistance of third-party valuation specialists for significant items. The fair value estimates are based on available historical information and on future expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by management, but are inherently uncertain.

The Company typically uses an income method to estimate the fair value of intangible assets, which is based on forecasts of the expected future cash flows attributable to the respective assets. Significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the valuations reflect a consideration of other marketplace participants and include the amount and timing of future cash flows (including expected growth rates and profitability), the underlying product or technology life cycles, the economic barriers to entry and the discount rate applied to the cash flows. Unanticipated market or macroeconomic events and circumstances may occur that could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions.

Determining the useful life of an intangible asset also requires judgment. Certain intangibles are expected to have indefinite lives based on their history and the Company’s plans to continue to support and build the acquired brands. Other acquired intangible assets (e.g., certain trademarks or brands, customer relationships, patents and technologies) are expected to have determinable useful lives. The Company’s assessment as to trademarks and brands that have an indefinite life and those that have a determinable life is based on a number of factors including competitive environment, market share, trademark and/or brand history, underlying product life cycles, operating plans and the macroeconomic environment of the countries in which the trademarks or brands are sold. The Company’s estimates of the useful lives of determinable-lived intangibles are based primarily on these same factors. All of the Company’s acquired technology and customer-related intangibles are expected to have determinable useful lives. The costs of determinable-lived intangibles are amortized to expense over their estimated life.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses. Other intangibles consist primarily of trademarks and patents. Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized, but are subject to impairment tests at least annually. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASU 2011-08, which permits the Company to qualitatively assess indicators of the Company’s reporting unit’s fair value when it is unlikely that a reporting unit is impaired. After completing the qualitative assessment, the Company may also use assumptions about expected future operating performance and utilize a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate fair value. If the recorded values of these assets are not recoverable, based on either the assessment screen or discounted cash flow analysis, management performs the next step, which compares the fair value of the reporting unit to the recorded value of the tangible and intangible assets of the reporting units. Goodwill is considered impaired if the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2012-02, which allows the Company to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. The Company would not be required to quantitatively determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible unless the Company determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than the carrying value. After completing the qualitative assessment, the Company may determine it necessary to test indefinite-lived intangibles by comparison of the individual carrying values to the fair value. Future cash flows of the individual indefinite-lived intangible assets are used to measure their fair value after consideration by management of certain assumptions, such as forecasted growth rates and cost of capital, which are derived from internal projections and operating plans.

 

A-8


The Company did not recognize any impairment charges for goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets during the fiscal years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011 or January 1, 2011 as the Company’s annual impairment testing indicated that all reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset fair values exceed their respective recorded values.

Other amortizable intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Other amortizable intangible assets are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. They consist primarily of customer relationships, patents, licensing arrangements, developed product technology and a customer backlog intangible asset. The combined gross carrying value and accumulated amortization for these amortizable intangibles was as follows:

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or an asset group may not be recoverable. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment amount to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair value.

Retirement Benefits

The determination of the obligation and expense for retirement benefits is dependent on the selection of certain actuarial assumptions used in calculating such amounts. These assumptions include, among others, the discount rate, expected long-term rate of return on

 

A-9


plan assets and rates of increase in compensation. These assumptions are reviewed with the Company’s actuaries and updated annually based on relevant external and internal factors and information, including, but not limited to, long-term expected asset returns, rates of termination, regulatory requirements and plan changes. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The Company recognized compensation expense of $15.0, $14.1, and $11.5 and related income tax benefits of $4.9, $4.5, and $3.6 for grants under its stock-based compensation plans in the statements of operations for the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011, respectively.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated condensed statements of operations for the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and January 1, 2011, is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and, as such, has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on historical experience.

The Company estimated the fair value of employee stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The estimated weighted-average fair value for each option granted was $10.72, $10.46, and $6.97 per share for fiscal years 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively, with the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

     2012     2011     2010  

Expected market price volatility (1)

     37.8     38.6     37.9

Risk-free interest rate (2)

     0.6     1.8     1.9

Dividend yield (3)

     1.3     1.6     1.9

Expected term (4)

     4 years        4 years        4 years   

 

(1) Based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected volatility is based on the daily percentage change in the price of the stock over the four years prior to the grant.
(2) Represents the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect for the expected term of the option at the time of grant.
(3) Represents the Company’s cash dividend yield for the expected term.
(4) Represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. As part of the determination of the expected term, the Company concluded that all employee groups exhibit similar exercise and post-vesting termination behavior.

The Company issued 1,917,020 shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of stock options and new restricted stock grants during fiscal 2012. The Company cancelled 49,207 shares of common stock issued under restricted stock awards as a result of forfeitures during fiscal 2012.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is based on the geographic dispersion of the earnings reported in the consolidated financial statements. A deferred income tax asset or liability is determined by applying currently-enacted tax laws and rates to the cumulative temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes.

The Company records an increase in liabilities for income tax accruals associated with tax benefits claimed on tax returns but not recognized for financial statement purposes (unrecognized tax benefits). The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits through interest expense and income tax expense, respectively.

Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting, and therefore need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method. Under the guidance in ASC 260, the Company’s unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are participating securities and must be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.

Foreign Currency

For most of the Company’s international subsidiaries, the local currency is the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rate. Operating statement amounts are translated at average exchange rates for each period. The cumulative translation adjustments resulting from changes in exchange rates are included in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and were not material for fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which provides a consistent definition of fair value, focuses on exit price, prioritizes the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs for measuring fair value and establishes a three-tier hierarchy for fair value measurements. This topic requires fair value measurements to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

Level 1:    Fair value is measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2:    Fair value is measured using either direct or indirect inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for similar assets or liabilities.
Level 3:    Fair value is measured using valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, foreign currency forward exchange contracts, an interest rate swap agreement, borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility and long-term debt. The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments is historical cost, which approximates their fair value, except for the interest rate swap and foreign currency forward exchange contracts, which are carried at fair value. As of December 29, 2012, the carrying value and the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, including current maturities, was $1,250.0 and $1,308.9. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, which is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting and requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value by establishing criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships. The Company utilizes foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage the volatility associated with U.S. dollar inventory purchases made by non-U.S. wholesale operations in the normal course of business. At December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, foreign exchange contracts with a notional value of $111.9 and $106.3, respectively, were outstanding to purchase U.S. dollars with maturities ranging up to 336 days for each fiscal year. These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges.

 

A-11


As of December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, a liability of $2.3 and an asset of $4.0, respectively, have been recognized for the fair value of the Company’s foreign currency forward exchange contracts. As of December 29, 2012, a liability of $1.5 has been recognized for the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreement. In accordance with ASC 820, these assets and liabilities fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The prices for the financial instruments are determined using prices for recently-traded financial instruments with similar underlying terms as well as directly or indirectly observable inputs. The Company did not have any additional assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts represents the estimated receipts or payments necessary to terminate the contracts. Hedge effectiveness is evaluated by the hypothetical derivative method. Any hedge ineffectiveness is reported within the cost of goods sold caption of the consolidated condensed statements of operations. Hedge ineffectiveness was not material to the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements for fiscal years 2012, 2011, or 2010. If, in the future, the foreign exchange forward contracts are determined to be ineffective hedges or terminated before their contractual termination dates, the Company would be required to reclassify into earnings all or a portion of the unrealized amounts related to the cash flow hedges that are currently included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity.

The Company has one interest rate swap agreement which exchanges floating rate for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the agreement without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. The notional amounts of the interest rate swap agreement are used to measure interest to be paid or received and do not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. The differential paid or received on the interest rate swap agreements is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense. The Company’s interest rate swap has a notional amount of $462.2, which reduces the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on its variable rate debt. This derivative instrument was designated as a cash flow hedge of the debt and will expire on October 6, 2017. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company formally documented the relationship between the interest rate swap and the variable rate borrowings, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process included linking the derivative to the specific liability or asset on the balance sheet. The Company also assessed, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative used in the hedging transaction was highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. The effective portion of unrealized gains (losses) is deferred as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and will be recognized in earnings at the time the hedged item affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of the change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.

For the fiscal years ended December 29, 2012 the Company recognized a net loss of $1.0 in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to the effective portion of its interest rate swap agreement.

In 2009, the Company entered into a $1.6 million note payable in connection with the Cushe® acquisition. The note was payable over three years at a fixed interest rate of 4.5%. The Company paid the remaining balance on this note during fiscal 2012.

On July 31, 2012, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with a bank syndicate. The New Credit Agreement provided the Company with a $1.1 billion secured credit facility consisting of a Term Loan A Facility in an aggregate amount of up to $550.0 million (the “Term Loan A Facility”), a Term Loan B Facility in an aggregate amount up to $350.0 million (the “Term Loan B Facility”) and a Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount of up to $200.0 million (the “Revolving Facility”). The New Credit Agreement also provides the Company with the option to increase the aggregate principal amount of all facilities by up to an additional amount such that the total amount of all of the facilities does not exceed $1.3 billion As of December 29, 2012, the only usage against the Revolving Facility was related to outstanding standby letters of credit totaling approximately $1.9 million.

As required by the New Credit Agreement, the Company also entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $462.2 million that reduces the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on its variable rate debt. This derivative instrument was designated as a cash flow hedge of the debt.

The Term Loan A Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility each have a term of five years and the Term Loan B Facility has a term of seven years. The initial interest rates applicable to amounts outstanding under the Term Loan A Facility and to U.S. dollar denominated amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility will be, at the Company’s option, either (1) the alternate base rate as defined in the New Credit Agreement plus an applicable margin of 1.25%, or (2) the Eurocurrency Rate as defined in the New Credit Agreement plus an applicable margin of 2.25%. The interest rate applicable to amounts outstanding under the Term Loan B Facility will be, at the Company’s option, either (1) the alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.00%, or (2) the Eurocurrency Rate plus an applicable margin of 3.00%. For fiscal 2012, the weighted average interest rates for Term Loan A and Term Loan B were 2.5% and 4.0%, respectively.

The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $100.0 million foreign currency subfacility under which borrowings may be made, subject to certain conditions, in Canadian dollars, pounds sterling, euros, Hong Kong dollars, Swedish kronor, Swiss francs and such additional currencies determined in accordance with the New Credit Agreement. The Revolving Credit Facility also includes a $35.0 million swingline subfacility and a $50.0 million letter of credit subfacility.

The obligations of the Company pursuant to the New Credit Agreement will be guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the personal and real property of the Company and its material domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

The New Credit Agreement also contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) to, among other things: incur or guarantee indebtedness; incur liens; pay dividends or repurchase stock; enter into transactions with affiliates; consummate asset sales, acquisitions or mergers; prepay certain other indebtedness; or make investments, as well as covenants restricting the activities of certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company that hold intellectual property related assets. Further, the New Credit Agreement requires compliance with the following financial covenants: a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement); a maximum Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio; and a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (in each case, as defined in the New Credit Agreement). As of December 29, 2012 the Company was in compliance with all such restrictions and financial covenants.

On October 9, 2012, the Company also issued a total of $375.0 million in senior notes in a private placement offering. The notes bear interest at 6.125% and are due in 2020 (the “Notes”). Related interest payments are due semi-annually. The Notes are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.

The Company incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $40.1 million to obtain financing, including underwriter, banker, legal and accounting fees that are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the terms of the related borrowings. The Company amortized approximately $1.8 million of deferred financing costs to interest expense during fiscal 2012.

The Company used the net proceeds from the Notes, together with the borrowings under the Term Loan Facilities and cash on hand, to finance the acquisition of PLG, repay any amounts outstanding under, and terminate its existing Revolving Credit Facility and to provide for the working capital needs of the Company, including the payment of transaction expenses in connection with the acquisition.

Cash flow from operations, along with borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, if any, are expected to be sufficient to meet working capital needs for the foreseeable future. Any excess cash flows from operating activities are expected to be used to purchase property, plant and equipment, reduce debt, fund internal and external growth initiatives, pay dividends or repurchase the Company’s common stock.

Annual maturities of long-term debt for the five fiscal years subsequent to December 29, 2012, are as follows:

 

(In millions)

   2013      2014      2015      2016      2017      Thereafter  

Annual maturities of long-term debt

   $ 30.7       $ 59.1       $ 61.7       $ 82.3       $ 332.4       $ 683.8   

The above maturities exclude the recorded fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap arrangement, which was recorded at fair value of $1.5 million within other liabilities as of December 29, 2012. Additional information regarding the interest rate swap is provided in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements.

4. LEASES

The Company leases machinery, equipment, and certain warehouse, office and retail store space under operating lease agreements that expire at various dates through 2023. Certain leases contain renewal provisions and generally require the Company to pay utilities, insurance, taxes and other operating expenses.

At December 29, 2012, minimum rental payments due under all non-cancelable leases were as follows:

   2013      2014      2015      2016      2017      Thereafter

   $ 50.8       $ 46.0       $ 40.6       $ 34.7       $ 24.5       $ 89.0   

Rental expense under all operating leases, consisting primarily of minimum rentals, totaled $29.4 in fiscal 2012, $20.1 in fiscal 2011 and $18.9 in fiscal 2010.

5. CAPITAL STOCK

The Company has 2,000,000 authorized shares of $1 par value preferred stock, of which none was issued or outstanding as of December 29, 2012 or December 31, 2011. The Company has designated 150,000 shares of preferred stock as Series A junior participating preferred stock and 500,000 shares of preferred stock as Series B junior participating preferred stock for possible future issuance.

As of December 29, 2012, the Company had stock options outstanding under various stock incentive plans. As of December 29, 2012, the Company had approximately 1,893,495 stock incentive units (stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and common stock) available for issuance. Each option or stock appreciation right granted counts as one stock incentive unit and all other awards granted, including restricted stock, count as two stock incentive units. Options granted under each plan have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock on the grant date, expire no later than ten years from the grant date, and generally vest over three years. Restricted stock issued under these plans is subject to certain restrictions, including a prohibition against any sale, transfer, or other disposition by the officer or employee during the vesting period (except for certain transfers for estate planning purposes for certain officers), and a requirement to forfeit all or a certain portion of the award upon certain terminations of employment or upon failure to achieve performance criteria in certain instances. These restrictions typically lapse over a three- to five-year period from the date of the award. The Company has elected to recognize expense for these stock-based incentive plans ratably over the vesting term on a straight-line basis. Certain option and restricted share awards provide for accelerated vesting under various scenarios, including retirement and upon a change in control of the Company. With regard to acceleration of vesting upon retirement, employees of eligible retirement age are vested in accordance with plan provisions and applicable stock option and restricted stock agreements. The Company issues shares to plan participants upon exercise or vesting of stock-based incentive awards from either authorized, but unissued, shares or treasury shares.

The total pretax intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011 was $30.1, $14.9 and $10.4, respectively. As of December 29, 2012, there was $2.9 of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock option grants that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years. As of December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011, there was $2.4 and $2.4, respectively, of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock option awards that was expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.0 and 1.1 years, respectively.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $40.18 as of December 29, 2012, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised in-the-money options as of that date. The total number of in-the-money options exercisable as of December 29, 2012 was 1,986,114 and the weighted-average exercise price was $24.36. As of December 31, 2011, 2,831,883 outstanding options were exercisable and the weighted-average exercise price was $21.85.

Beginning in 2009, the Board of Directors has awarded an annual grant of performance share awards to the officers of the Company. The number of performance-based shares that will be earned (and eligible to vest) during the performance period will depend on the Company’s level of success in achieving two specifically identified performance targets. Any portion of the performance shares that are not earned by the end of the three-year measurement period will be forfeited. The final determination of the number of shares to be issued in respect to an award is determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

6. RETIREMENT PLANS

The Company has three non-contributory, defined benefit pension plans covering a majority of its domestic employees. The Company’s principal defined benefit pension plan provides benefits based on the employee’s years of service and final average earnings. Subsequent to the end of fiscal 2012, the Company closed this plan to new participants. The Company’s second plan provides benefits at a fixed rate per year of service for certain employees under a collectively bargaining arrangement. The Company’s third noncontributory defined benefit pension plan, which no longer accrues future benefits, covers certain eligible PLG associates. Prior to the freezing of the plan, eligible PLG participants accrued pension benefits at a fixed unit rate based on the participant’s service and compensation.

The Company has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) for certain current and former employees that entitles a participating employee to receive payments from the Company following retirement based on the employee’s years of service and final average earnings (as defined in the SERP). Under the SERP, the employees can elect early retirement with a corresponding reduction in benefits. The Company also has individual deferred compensation agreements with certain former employees that entitle these employees to receive payments from the Company for a period of 15 to 18 years following retirement. The Company maintains life insurance policies with a cash surrender value of $46.7 at December 29, 2012 and $38.2 at December 31, 2011 that are intended to fund deferred compensation benefits under the SERP and deferred compensation agreements.

 

A-17


The Company has two defined contribution 401(k) plans covering substantially all domestic employees that provides for Company contributions based on earnings. The Company recognized expense for its defined contribution plans of $2.9 in fiscal 2012, $2.5 in fiscal 2011 and $2.1 in fiscal 2010.

The Company has certain defined contribution plans at foreign subsidiaries. Contributions to these plans were $0.9 in fiscal 2012, $0.9 in fiscal 2011 and $0.9 in fiscal 2010. The Company also has a benefit plan at a foreign location that provides for retirement benefits based on years of service. The obligation recorded under this plan was $3.0 at December 29, 2012 and $3.1 at December 31, 2011 and was recognized as a deferred compensation liability on the accompanying balance sheet.

The following summarizes the status of and changes in the Company’s assets and related obligations for its pension plans (which include the Company’s defined benefit pension plans and the SERP) for the fiscal years:

The prior service cost and actuarial loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss and expected to be recognized in net periodic pension expense during 2013 is $0.1 and $30.4, respectively. Expense for qualified defined benefit pension plans was $20.2 in fiscal 2012, $12.6 in fiscal 2011 and $11.9 in fiscal 2010.

The weighted-average actuarial assumptions used to determine the benefit obligation amounts and the net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s pension and post-retirement plans are as follows.

 

     2012     2011  

Weighted-average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at fiscal year-end:

    

Discount rate

     4.30     5.42

Rate of compensation increase – pension

     4.85     4.85

Rate of compensation increase – SERP

     7.00     7.00

Weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for the years ended:

    

Discount rate

     5.14     5.94

Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets

     7.68     8.00

Rate of compensation increase – pension

     4.85     4.85

Rate of compensation increase – SERP

     7.00     7.00

Unrecognized net actuarial losses exceeding certain corridors are amortized over a five-year period, unless the minimum amortization method based on average remaining service periods produces a higher amortization. The Company utilizes a bond matching calculation to determine the discount rate. A hypothetical bond portfolio is created based on a presumed purchase of high-quality corporate bonds with maturities that match the plan’s expected future cash outflows. The discount rate is the resulting yield of the hypothetical bond portfolio. The discount rate is used in the calculation of the year-end pension liability and service cost for the subsequent year.

The long-term rate of return is based on overall market expectations for a balanced portfolio with an asset mix similar to the Company’s, utilizing historic returns for broad market and fixed income indices. The Company’s asset allocations at fiscal year-end by asset category and fair value measurement are as follows:

The valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets as of December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, was $3.2 and $2.5 respectively. The net change in the total valuation allowance for each of the years ended December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, was $0.7 and $1.1 respectively. The valuation allowance was related to foreign net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards in foreign jurisdictions that, in the judgment of management, are not more likely than not to be realized. The ultimate realization of the carryforwards depends on the generation of future taxable income in the foreign tax jurisdictions.

At December 29, 2012, the Company had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $8.5, which have expiration periods ranging from eight years to an unlimited term during which they are available to offset future foreign taxable income. The Company also had foreign tax credit carryforwards in foreign jurisdictions of $0.9, which are available for an unlimited carryforward period to offset future foreign taxable income.

The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits:

The portion of the unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized currently, would reduce the annual effective tax rate was $8.5 as of December 29, 2012 and $13.1 as of December 31, 2011. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits through interest expense and income tax expense, respectively. Interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits was $2.0 as of December 29, 2012 and $0.8 as of December 31, 2011.

The Company is subject to periodic audits by domestic and foreign tax authorities. Currently, the Company is undergoing routine periodic audits in both domestic and foreign tax jurisdictions. It is reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits could change in the next 12 months as a result of the audits; however, any payment of tax is not expected to be significant to the consolidated financial statements.

For the majority of tax jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2008.

 

A-21


No provision has been made for U.S. federal and state income taxes or foreign taxes that may result from future remittances of the remaining undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries of $313.9 at December 29, 2012, as the Company expects such earnings will remain reinvested overseas indefinitely.

In January 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was signed into law and various tax provisions including the research credit that had expired as of December 31, 2011 were reinstated retroactively to January 1, 2012. In accordance with ASC 740-45-15, the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances and tax rates are recognized in the period the legislation is enacted. As a result, the impact of the new legislation will be reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations in fiscal 2013.

8. LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in various environmental claims and other legal actions arising in the normal course of business. The environmental claims include sites where the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has notified the Company that it is a potentially responsible party with respect to environmental remediation. These remediation claims are subject to ongoing environmental impact studies, assessment of remediation alternatives, allocation of costs between responsible parties and concurrence by regulatory authorities and have not yet advanced to a stage where the Company’s liability is fixed. However, after taking into consideration legal counsel’s evaluation of all actions and claims against the Company, it is management’s opinion that the outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company is involved in routine litigation incidental to its business and is a party to legal actions and claims, including, but not limited to, those related to employment and intellectual property. Some of the legal proceedings include claims for compensatory as well as punitive damages. While the final outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, considering, among other things, the meritorious legal defenses available and liabilities that have been recorded along with applicable insurance, it is management’s opinion that the outcome of these items will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company has future minimum royalty and advertising obligations due under the terms of certain licenses held by the Company. These minimum future obligations are as follows:

   2013      2014      2015      2016      Beyond  

Minimum royalties

Minimum advertising

     6.7         7.7         8.8         2.9         5.2   

Minimum royalties are based on both fixed obligations and assumptions regarding the consumer price index. Royalty obligations in excess of minimum requirements are based upon future sales levels. In accordance with these agreements, the Company incurred royalty expense of $2.8, $3.3, and $3.0 for fiscal years 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

The terms of certain license agreements also require the Company to make advertising expenditures based on the level of sales. In accordance with these agreements, the Company incurred advertising expense of $4.1, $3.3, and $3.0 for fiscal years 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

9. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company reorganized its portfolio of 16 brands, including brands acquired as part of the PLG business in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, into the following three operating segments, which the Company has determined are reportable operating segments.

 

   

Lifestyle Group, consisting of Sperry Top-Sider® footwear and apparel, Stride Rite® footwear, Hush Puppies® footwear and apparel, Keds® footwear, and Soft Style® footwear;

 

   

Performance Group, consisting of Merrell® footwear and apparel, Saucony® footwear and apparel, Chaco® footwear, Patagonia® footwear, and Cushe® footwear; and

 

   

Heritage Group, consisting of Wolverine® footwear and apparel, Cat® footwear, Bates® uniform footwear, Sebago® footwear and apparel, Harley-Davidson® footwear, and HyTest® Safety footwear.

The reportable segments are engaged in designing, manufacturing, sourcing, marketing, licensing and distributing branded footwear, apparel and accessories. Reported revenue of the reportable operating segments includes revenue from the sale of branded footwear, apparel and accessories to third-party customers; royalty income from the licensing of the Company’s trademarks and brand names to third-party licensees and distributors; and revenue from the Company’s mono-branded consumer-direct business. The operating segment managers of the Lifestyle, Performance and Heritage Group operating segments all report directly to the Chief Operating Decision Maker. Prior year results have been restated to reflect these new reportable operating segments.

 

A-22


The Other category consists of the Company’s multi-branded consumer-direct business, the Company’s leather marketing operations, Wolverine Leathers, and the Company’s sourcing operations which include third-party commission revenues. The Corporate category consists primarily of unallocated corporate expenses including acquisition-related transaction and integration expenses. This segment structure is consistent with the way management makes operating decisions, allocates resources and manages the growth and profitability of the Company’s business. The Company allocated goodwill in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other in connection with the reorganization of the Company’s brand portfolio in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

The accounting policies of each operating segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies set forth in Note 1 to the consolidated condensed financial statements.

The performance of the reportable operating segments is evaluated by the Company’s management using various financial measures. The following is a summary of certain key financial measures for the respective fiscal periods indicated.

The Company does not believe that it is dependent upon any single customer because no customer accounts for more than 10% of consolidated revenue.

The Company sources approximately 95% (based on pairs) of its footwear products from third-party suppliers located primarily in the Asia Pacific region. The remainder is produced at Company-owned manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and the Dominican Republic. All apparel and accessories are sourced from third-party suppliers. While changes in suppliers could cause delays in manufacturing and a possible loss of sales, management believes that other suppliers could provide similar products on comparable terms.

10. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER TRANSITION COSTS

On January 7, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a strategic restructuring plan designed to create significant operating efficiencies, improve the Company’s supply chain and create a stronger global platform. On October 7, 2009, the Company announced an expansion of its restructuring plan to include the consolidation of two domestic manufacturing facilities into one and to finalize realignment in certain of the Company’s product creation organizations. The strategic restructuring plan and all actions under the plan, except for certain cash payments, were completed as of June 19, 2010. Accordingly, the Company did not incur any restructuring or other transition costs for the years ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011. For the year-ended January 1, 2011 the Company incurred restructuring and other transition costs of $4.2 ($3.1 on an after-tax basis), or $0.06 per diluted share.

Restructuring

The Company did not incur restructuring charges for the years ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011. For the year-ended January 1, 2011 the Company incurred restructuring charges of $2.2 ($1.6 on an after-tax basis).

Other Transition Costs

Incremental costs incurred related to the restructuring plan that do not qualify as restructuring costs under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, have been included in the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations on the line items titled “Restructuring and other transition costs”. These primarily include costs related to closure of

 

A-24


facilities, new employee training and transition to outsourced services. All costs included in this caption were solely related to the transition and implementation of the restructuring plan and do not include ongoing business operating costs. There were no other transition costs incurred during the years ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Other transition costs for the year-ended January 1, 2011, were $2.0 ($1.5 on an after-tax basis).

11. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

On October 9, 2012, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Collective Brands, Inc’s Performance + Lifestyle Group business (“PLG”) as well as certain other assets. Consideration paid to acquire PLG was approximately $1,249.5 million in cash. PLG markets casual and athletic footwear, apparel and related accessories for adults and children under well-known brand names including Sperry Top-Sider®, Saucony®, Stride Rite®, and Keds®. The acquisition expands the Company’s existing portfolio of brands to 16. The Company accounted for the acquisition under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The related assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date. The operating results for PLG are included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations beginning October 9, 2012. The operating results for PLG are included in the PLG wholesale and PLG retail operating groups. The PLG wholesale group is aggregated into the branded, footwear, apparel and Licensing segment. The PLG retail group is aggregated into the consumer-direct segment.

The Company funded the transaction using a combination of cash on hand of approximately $88.8 and debt financing. The Company’s debt financing included net proceeds from the term loan debt associated with the Company’s New Credit Agreement as well as net proceeds from the Company’s senior notes.

The Company incurred non-recurring transaction and integration costs of $42.2 during fiscal 2012 of which $4.5, $32.5 and $5.2 were included within cost of goods sold, selling, general, and administrative expenses and interest expense, respectively, within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The non-recurring charge to cost of goods sold of $4.5 relates to the fair value adjustment to acquisition-date inventory and severance costs. The non-recurring costs within selling, general, and administrative expenses include professional and legal fees ($14.9), taxes paid on behalf of the seller ($9.7), severance ($2.7), onetime software license fees ($2.4) and other onetime costs of $2.8, respectively. The $5.2 of non-recurring interest expense relates to a non-recurring financing commitment fee and refinancing fees associated with the Company’s acquisition of PLG.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price through December 29, 2012 was:

The allocation of the purchase price above is considered preliminary and was based upon valuation information available and estimates and assumptions made at December 29, 2012. The Company is still in the process of verifying data and finalizing information related to the valuation and recording of identifiable intangible assets, deferred income taxes, uncertain tax provisions and accrued pension liabilities and the resulting effects on the amount of recorded goodwill. The Company expects to finalize these matters within the measurement period, which is currently expected to remain open through the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, amounting to $419.6, was preliminarily recorded as goodwill in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and was assigned to the PLG wholesale and PLG retail operating segments, which were also determined to be reporting units. This resulted in the following addition to goodwill within the Company’s reportable segments:

Total intangible assets acquired

   $ 820.6      
  

 

 

    

Management preliminarily assigned fair values to the identifiable intangible assets through a combination of the relief from royalty and the excess earnings methods.

At the time of the acquisition, a step-up in the value of inventory of $4.0 was recorded in the allocation of the purchase price based on valuation estimates, all of which was charged to cost of sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 as the inventory was sold. In addition, fixed assets were written up by approximately $18.8 to their estimated fair market value based on a valuation method that included both the cost and market approaches. This additional step-up in value is being depreciated over the estimated remaining useful lives of the assets.

The results of operations for PLG have been included in the consolidated statements of operations since the date of acquisition. The amount of fiscal 2012 revenue and net loss, which includes interest expense associated with the New Credit Agreement and senior notes, amortization of acquired intangibles and incremental operating costs, attributable to PLG included in the consolidated statements of operations consists of the following:

For 2011, the primary adjustments include: i) the addition of a non-recurring charge to cost of goods sold related to the fair value adjustment to acquisition-date inventory and severance of $4.5, ii) the addition of $32.1 of amortization and depreciation for acquired intangibles and property and equipment, iii) the addition of $32.5 of non-recurring acquisition related expenses and iv) the addition of $63.2 of interest expense. For 2012, the primary adjustments include: i) the elimination of the non-recurring charge to cost of goods sold related to the fair value adjustment to acquisition-date inventory and severance of $4.5, ii) the elimination of $32.5 of non-recurring acquisition related expenses, iii) the addition of $24.7 of amortization and depreciation for acquired intangibles and property and equipment, and iv) the addition of $35.0 of interest expense.

Subsequent to the end of fiscal 2012, the Company incurred approximately $5.2 million of severance costs related to the integration of PLG.

12. Quarterly Results of Operations (Unaudited)

The Company reports its quarterly results of operations on the basis of 12-week periods for each of the first three fiscal quarters and a 16- or 17-week period for the fiscal fourth quarter. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011 consists of 16 weeks. The aggregate quarterly earnings per share amounts disclosed in the table below may not equal the annual per share amounts due to rounding and the fact that results for each quarter are calculated independently of the full fiscal year.
