Basis of Presentation (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Jan. 31, 2014

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

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

New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” ASU 2013-11 provides guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits, reflecting the manner in which an entity would settle, at the reporting date, any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. This accounting standard will be effective for the Company beginning November 1, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company did early adopt this guidance effective November 1, 2013 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Operating Segments

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates in the outdoor market of the action sports industry in which the Company designs, markets and distributes apparel, footwear, accessories and related products. The Company currently operates in four segments: the Americas, EMEA, and APAC, each of which sells a full range of the Company’s products, as well as Corporate Operations. The Americas segment, consisting of North, South and Central America, includes revenues primarily from the United States, Canada, Brazil and Mexico. The EMEA segment, consisting of Europe, the Middle East and Africa, includes revenues primarily from continental Europe, the United Kingdom, Russia and South Africa. The APAC segment, consisting of Asia and the Pacific Rim, includes revenues primarily from Australia, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan and Indonesia. Costs that support all segments, including trademark protection, trademark maintenance and licensing functions, are part of Corporate Operations. Corporate Operations also includes sourcing income and gross profit earned from the Company’s licensees.

Earnings per Share and Stock-Based Compensation

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

Income Taxes

Each reporting period, the Company evaluates the realizability of all of its deferred tax assets in each tax jurisdiction. As of January 31, 2014, the Company continued to maintain a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions in each of its four operating segments due to sustained taxable losses. As a result of the valuation allowances recorded, no tax benefits have been recognized for losses incurred in those tax jurisdictions.

The Company’s sale of the Mervin and Hawk businesses generated income tax expense of approximately $10 million within discontinued operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. However, as the Company does not expect to pay income tax after application of available loss carryforwards, an offsetting income tax benefit was recognized within continuing operations. Before this tax benefit, the Company generated income tax expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013 due to being unable to record tax benefits against the losses in certain jurisdictions where we have previously recorded valuation allowances.  

During the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that the Company’s liability for uncertain tax positions may change by a significant amount as a result of the resolution or payment of uncertain tax positions. The Company believes the outcomes which are reasonably possible within the next 12 months range from a reduction of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $9 million to an increase of the liability of $2 million, excluding penalties and interest for its existing tax positions.

Derivatives and Hedging

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

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

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. As of January 31, 2014, the Company was hedging forecasted transactions expected to occur through June 2015. Assuming January 31, 2014 exchange rates remain constant, $2 million of gains, net of tax, related to hedges of these transactions are expected to be reclassified into earnings over the next 17 months.

On the date the Company enters into a derivative contract, management designates the derivative as a hedge of the identified exposure. Before entering into various hedge transactions, the Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and strategy. In this documentation, the Company identifies the asset, liability, firm commitment, or forecasted transaction that has been designated as a hedged item and indicates how the hedging instrument is expected to hedge the risks related to the hedged item. The Company formally measures effectiveness of its hedging relationships both at the hedge inception and on an ongoing basis in accordance with its risk management policy. The Company would discontinue hedge accounting prospectively (i) if management determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of a hedged item, (ii) when the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, (iii) if it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction being hedged by the derivative will not occur, (iv) if a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment, or (v) if management determines that designation of the derivative as a hedge instrument is no longer appropriate. As a result of the expiration, sale, termination, or exercise of derivative contracts, the Company reclassified into earnings a net loss of $0.2 million for the quarter ended January 31, 2014, and a net gain of $1 million for the quarter ended January 31, 2013.

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

Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

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

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

1. Basis of Presentation

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

Quiksilver, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) has included all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the first quarter (three months) ended January 31, 2014 and 2013. References to any particular fiscal year refer to the year ended October 31 of that year (for example, “fiscal 2014” refers to the year ending October 31, 2014). The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

In November 2013, the Company sold Mervin Manufacturing, Inc., its subsidiary that manufactured snowboards and related products under the “Lib Technologies” and “GNU” brands, (“Mervin”). In January 2014, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of Hawk Designs, Inc., its subsidiary that owned and operated the “Hawk” brand, (“Hawk”). Additionally, the Company is pursuing strategic alternatives for its majority stake in the U.K.-based Surfdome Shop, Ltd., a multi-brand e-commerce retailer, (“Surfdome”). Each of the Company’s Mervin, Hawk and Surfdome businesses were classified as “held for sale” as of October 31, 2013 and are presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

Condensed Financial Information Of Parent Company Only Disclosure [Abstract]

Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

16. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

In July 2013, the Company issued $225 million aggregate principal amount of its 2020 Notes. These notes were issued in a private offering that was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Secruities Act”). They were offered within the United States only to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and outside of the United States only to non-U.S. investors in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. In November 2013, these notes were exchanged for publicly registered notes with identical terms. Obligations under the Company’s 2020 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of its existing 100% owned domestic subsidiaries.

In November 2013, the Company sold Mervin, a guarantor subsidiary, and in January 2014, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of Hawk, also a guarantor subsidiary. These subsidiaries continue to be presented in the “Guarantor Subsidiaries” column in the following condensed consolidating financial information where applicable. See note 15, “Discontinued Operations,” for further discussion regarding the disposition of these businesses.

The Company is required to present condensed consolidating financial information for Quiksilver, Inc. and its domestic subsidiaries within the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the criteria established for parent companies in the SEC’s Regulation S-X, Rule 3-10(f). The following condensed consolidating financial information presents the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Quiksilver Inc., QS Wholesale, Inc., the 100% owned guarantor subsidiaries, the non-guarantor subsidiaries and the eliminations necessary to arrive at the information for the Company on a consolidated basis as of January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013 and for the first quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. The Company has applied the estimated consolidated annual effective income tax rate to both the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries, adjusting for any discrete items, for interim reporting purposes. In the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2014, management will apply the actual income tax rates to both the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries. These interim tax rates may differ from the actual annual effective income tax rates for both the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Restructuring And Related Activities [Abstract]

Restructuring Charges

9. Restructuring Charges

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

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

In thousands	Workforce			Facility & Other			Total
Balance, November 1, 2012	$	5,335		$	6,856		$	12,191
Charged to expense		22,671			5,838			28,509
Cash payments		(15,847	)		(5,163	)		(21,010	)
Adjustments		—			(592	)		(592	)
Balance, October 31, 2013	$	12,159		$	6,939		$	19,098
Charged to expense		2,553			570			3,123
Cash payments		(5,925	)		(514	)		(6,439	)
Balance, January 31, 2014	$	8,787		$	6,995		$	15,782

Of the amounts charged to expense during the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the majority related to severance charges within the Americas segment.

In addition to the restructuring charges noted above, the Company also recorded approximately $2 million of additional expenses within SG&A during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 related to certain non-core brands that have been discontinued, which are not reflected in the table above. Additionally, the Company recorded severance charges of approximately $3 million within SG&A during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 which were unrelated to the 2013 Plan or the 2011 Plan.

	$	864,648	$	831,300

As of January 31, 2014, the Company’s credit facilities allowed for total cash borrowings and letters of credit of $272 million. The total maximum borrowings and actual availability fluctuate with the amount of assets comprising the borrowing base under certain of the credit facilities. At January 31, 2014, the Company had a total of $68 million of direct borrowings and $56 million in letters of credit outstanding. As of January 31, 2014, the effective availability for borrowings remaining under the Company’s credit facilities was $92 million, $53 million of which could also be used for letters of credit in the United States and APAC. In addition to the $92 million of effective availability for borrowings, the Company also had $56 million in additional capacity for letters of credit in EMEA as of January 31, 2014. Many of the Company’s debt agreements contain customary default provisions and restrictive covenants. The Company is in compliance with such covenants.

As of January 31, 2014, the Company’s other borrowings include approximately $17 million of notes payable, approximately $16 million of which is due during fiscal 2014, issued to the former minority interest owners of the Company’s Brazil and Mexico subsidiaries. The Company acquired the remaining minority interests of each of these subsidiaries in November 2013.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s borrowings under lines of credit and long-term debt as of January 31, 2014 was $937 million, compared to a carrying value of $865 million. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is calculated based on the market price of the Company’s publicly traded 2020 Notes, the trading prices of the Company’s 2018 Notes and 2017 Notes (all Level 1 inputs) and the carrying values of the Company’s variable rate debt obligations.

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

Earnings per Share and Stock-Based Compensation

4. Earnings per Share and Stock-Based Compensation

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

The table below sets forth the reconciliation of the denominator of each net loss per share calculation for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013:

	First Quarter Ended January 31,
In thousands	2014		2013
Shares used in computing basic net loss per share		169,747		165,767
Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock(1)		—		—
Dilutive effect of stock warrants(1)		—		—
Shares used in computing diluted net loss per share		169,747		165,767

⁽¹⁾ For the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013, the shares used in computing diluted net loss per share do not include 3,974,000 and 3,391,000, respectively, of dilutive stock options and shares of restricted stock, nor 19,913,000 and 15,140,000, respectively, of dilutive warrant shares, as the effect is anti-dilutive given the Company’s net loss from continuing operations. For the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013, additional stock options outstanding of 3,856,000 and 7,932,000, respectively, and additional warrant shares outstanding of 5,741,000 and 10,514,000, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive based on the application of the treasury stock method.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the fair value recognition provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” Stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”).

The Company has previously granted performance-based restricted stock units and options to certain key employees and executives. Vesting of these awards is contingent upon a required service period and the Company’s achievement of specified common stock price thresholds. In addition, the vesting of a portion of the options can be accelerated based upon the Company’s achievement of specified annual performance targets. The Company believes that the granting of these awards serves to further align the interests of its employees and executives with those of its stockholders. Based on the vesting contingencies in the awards, the Company used a Monte-Carlo simulation in order to determine the grant date fair values of the awards. There were no such awards granted in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. For the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the assumptions used in the Monte-Carlo simulations for the restricted stock units granted included a risk-free interest rate of 0.5%, volatility of 73% to 89%, and a zero dividend yield. The weighted average fair value of the restricted stock units granted in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $3.39. There were no performance options granted in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 or 2013.

Activity related to these performance-based equity instruments for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was as follows:

	Performance Options			Performance Restricted Stock Units
Outstanding, October 31, 2013		688,000			11,675,782
Granted		—			—
Exercised		(12,000	)		—
Canceled		(36,000	)		(30,937	)
Outstanding, January 31, 2014		640,000			11,644,845

As of January 31, 2014, 82,000 of the 640,000 oustanding performance options were exercisable and none of the performance restricted stock units were exercisable. As of January 31, 2014, the Company had unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, of approximately $0.7 million related to the performance options and approximately $6 million related to restricted stock units. This unrecognized compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2 years and 0.4 years, respectively.

For non-performance-based options, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value compensation expense. Forfeitures are estimated at the date of grant based on historical rates and reduce the compensation expense recognized. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercises. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. For the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013, there were no options granted. The Company records stock-based compensation expense using the graded vested method over the vesting period, which is generally three years. As of January 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $3 million of unrecognized compensation expense for non-performance-based options expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2 years.

Changes in shares under option, excluding performance-based options, for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 were as follows:

Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts	Shares			Weighted Average Price		Weighted Average Life		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding, October 31, 2013		8,829,618		$	4.83
Granted		—			—
Exercised		(568,290	)		4.24			$	2,370

Outstanding, January 31, 2014		7,634,578		$	4.56		5.5	$	21,110
Options exercisable, January 31, 2014		5,633,427		$	4.16		4.8	$	18,344

Changes in non-vested shares under option, excluding performance-based options, for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 were as follows:

	Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested, October 31, 2013		2,784,826		$	2.95
Granted		—			—
Vested		(778,675	)		2.28
Canceled		(5,000	)		3.51
Non-vested, January 31, 2014		2,001,151		$	3.19

The Company also grants restricted stock and restricted stock units under its 2013 Performance Incentive Plan. Restricted stock issued under this plan generally vests in three years while restricted stock units issued under this plan generally vest upon the Company’s achievement of a specified common stock price threshold . There were no changes in restricted stock for the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

Compensation expense for restricted stock is determined using the intrinsic value method and forfeitures are estimated at the date of grant based on historical rates and reduce the compensation expense recognized. The Company monitors the probability of meeting the restricted stock performance criteria, if any, and adjusts the amortization period as appropriate. As of January 31, 2014, there had been no acceleration of amortization periods and the Company had approximately $0.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately one year.

Discontinued Operations

15. Discontinued Operations

One of the elements of the Company’s multi-year Profit Improvement Plan involves divesting or exiting certain non-core businesses. In November 2013, the Company completed the sale of Mervin for $58 million, subject to a final working capital adjustment. In January 2014, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of Hawk for $19 million. These transactions resulted in an after-tax gain of approximately $38 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2014, which is included in income from discontinued operations in the table below. Additionally, the Company continues to pursue strategic alternatives for Surfdome. Each of the Company’s Mervin, Hawk and Surfdome businesses were classified as “held for sale” as of October 31, 2013 and are presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Financial Instruments

11. Derivative Financial Instruments

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

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

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. As of January 31, 2014, the Company was hedging forecasted transactions expected to occur through June 2015. Assuming January 31, 2014 exchange rates remain constant, $2 million of gains, net of tax, related to hedges of these transactions are expected to be reclassified into earnings over the next 17 months.

On the date the Company enters into a derivative contract, management designates the derivative as a hedge of the identified exposure. Before entering into various hedge transactions, the Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and strategy. In this documentation, the Company identifies the asset, liability, firm commitment, or forecasted transaction that has been designated as a hedged item and indicates how the hedging instrument is expected to hedge the risks related to the hedged item. The Company formally measures effectiveness of its hedging relationships both at the hedge inception and on an ongoing basis in accordance with its risk management policy. The Company would discontinue hedge accounting prospectively (i) if management determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of a hedged item, (ii) when the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, (iii) if it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction being hedged by the derivative will not occur, (iv) if a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment, or (v) if management determines that designation of the derivative as a hedge instrument is no longer appropriate. As a result of the expiration, sale, termination, or exercise of derivative contracts, the Company reclassified into earnings a net loss of $0.2 million for the quarter ended January 31, 2014, and a net gain of $1 million for the quarter ended January 31, 2013.

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

As of January 31, 2014, the Company had the following outstanding derivative contracts that were entered into to hedge forecasted purchases:

In thousands	Commodity		Notional Amount		Maturity		Fair Value
United States dollars		Inventory	$	250,613		Feb 2014 –June 2015	$	4,473

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

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

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

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

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

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

The change in non-amortizable trademarks is due primarily to foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Other amortizable intangibles primarily include non-compete agreements, patents and customer relationships. These amortizable intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Certain trademarks will continue to be amortized by the Company using estimated useful lives of 10 to 25 years with no residual values. Intangible amortization expense for each of the first quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013 was approximately $0.5 million. Annual amortization expense is estimated to be approximately $2 million through fiscal 2017 and approximately $1 million in fiscal 2018 and 2019.

Restricted Cash

5. Restricted Cash

The Company’s restricted cash balance as of January 31, 2014 was $61 million. Certain of the Company’s debt agreements contain restrictions on what can be done with cash received from the sale of assets. The proceeds received from the Company’s disposition of its Mervin and Hawk businesses during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 are subject to these restrictions. These restrictions generally require such cash to be used for either the repayment of indebtedness or capital expenditures.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

8. Income Taxes

Each reporting period, the Company evaluates the realizability of all of its deferred tax assets in each tax jurisdiction. As of January 31, 2014, the Company continued to maintain a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions in each of its four operating segments due to sustained taxable losses. As a result of the valuation allowances recorded, no tax benefits have been recognized for losses incurred in those tax jurisdictions.

The Company’s sale of the Mervin and Hawk businesses generated income tax expense of approximately $10 million within discontinued operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. However, as the Company does not expect to pay income tax after application of available loss carryforwards, an offsetting income tax benefit was recognized within continuing operations. Before this tax benefit, the Company generated income tax expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013 due to being unable to record tax benefits against the losses in certain jurisdictions where we have previously recorded valuation allowances.

As of January 31, 2014, the Company’s liability for uncertain tax positions was approximately $12 million resulting from unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties.

If the Company’s positions are favorably sustained by the relevant taxing authority, approximately $11 million, excluding interest and penalties, of uncertain tax position liabilities would favorably impact the Company’s effective tax rate in future periods.

During the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that the Company’s liability for uncertain tax positions may change by a significant amount as a result of the resolution or payment of uncertain tax positions. The Company believes the outcomes which are reasonably possible within the next 12 months range from a reduction of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $9 million to an increase of the liability of $2 million, excluding penalties and interest for its existing tax positions.

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]

New Accounting Pronouncements

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” ASU 2013-11 provides guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits, reflecting the manner in which an entity would settle, at the reporting date, any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. This accounting standard will be effective for the Company beginning November 1, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company did early adopt this guidance effective November 1, 2013 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Reconciliation of Denominator of Each Net Loss per Share

The table below sets forth the reconciliation of the denominator of each net loss per share calculation for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013:

	First Quarter Ended January 31,
In thousands	2014		2013
Shares used in computing basic net loss per share		169,747		165,767
Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock(1)		—		—
Dilutive effect of stock warrants(1)		—		—
Shares used in computing diluted net loss per share		169,747		165,767

⁽¹⁾ For the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013, the shares used in computing diluted net loss per share do not include 3,974,000 and 3,391,000, respectively, of dilutive stock options and shares of restricted stock, nor 19,913,000 and 15,140,000, respectively, of dilutive warrant shares, as the effect is anti-dilutive given the Company’s net loss from continuing operations. For the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013, additional stock options outstanding of 3,856,000 and 7,932,000, respectively, and additional warrant shares outstanding of 5,741,000 and 10,514,000, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive based on the application of the treasury stock method.
