Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2016

(dollars in thousands (unless otherwise noted) except per share data)

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 Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management of Iconix Brand Group, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months (“Current Quarter”) and the six months (“Current Six Months”) ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.  The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as amended.

During the Current Six Months, the Company adopted five new accounting pronouncements.  Refer to Note 16 for further details.

Certain reclassifications, which were immaterial, have been made to conform prior year data to the current presentation.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Non-controlling Interests / Redeemable Non-controlling Interests

Certain of the Company’s consolidated joint ventures have put options which, if exercised by the Company’s joint venture partner, would require the Company to purchase all or a portion of the joint venture partner’s equity interest in the joint venture.  The Company has determined that these put options are not derivatives under the guidelines prescribed in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815. As such, and in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, as the potential exercise of the put options is outside the control of the Company, the Company has recorded the portion of the non-controlling interest’s equity that may be put to the Company in mezzanine equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as “redeemable non-controlling interest”.  The initial value of the redeemable non-controlling interest represents the fair value of the put option at inception.  This amount recorded at inception is accreted, over a period determined by when the put option becomes exercisable, to what the Company would be obligated to pay to the non-controlling interest holder if the put option was exercised. This accretion is recorded as a credit to redeemable non-controlling interest and a debit to retained earnings resulting in an impact to the consolidated balance sheet only.  For each reporting period, the Company revisits the estimates used to determine the redemption value of the put option when it becomes exercisable and may adjust the remaining put option value and associated accretion accordingly through redeemable non-controlling interest and retained earnings, as necessary.  The terms of each of the outstanding put options are included in the individual discussions of each joint venture, as applicable. For the Company’s consolidated joint ventures that do not have put options, the non-controlling interest is recorded within equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

The Company may enter into joint venture agreements with joint venture partners in which the Company allows the joint venture partner to pay a portion of the purchase price in cash at the time of the formation of the joint venture with the remaining cash consideration paid over a specified period of time following the closing of such transaction.  The Company records the amounts due from such joint venture partners as (a) a reduction of Non-controlling Interests, net of installment payments, or (b) if installment payments result from the issuance of shares classified as mezzanine equity, as a reduction in Redeemable Non-controlling Interests, net of installment payments (i.e. mezzanine equity), as applicable, in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet accordance with ASC 505-10-45, “Classification of a Receivable from a Shareholder.” The Company accretes the present value discount on these installment payments through interest income on its consolidated statements of operations.  

Refer to the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2016, as amended, for the Company’s other significant accounting policies.

SEC Comment Letter Process

As disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company has been engaged in a comment letter process with the Staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission relating to an ongoing review of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.  The Company has responded to the Staff with a Confirming Letter on the questions the Staff

8

raised, and remains in a dialogue with the SEC Staff relating to those and certain other comments related to the Company’s future disclosures.  

2. Goodwill and Trademarks and Other Intangibles, net

Goodwill

There were no changes in goodwill during the Current Quarter.  The annual evaluation of the Company’s goodwill, by segment, is performed as of October 1, the beginning of the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter.  In connection with the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $35.1 million in its men’s segment.  No goodwill impairment was recognized for the other segments of the Company during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.  There was no impairment of the Company’s goodwill during the Current Quarter, Current Six Months or for the three months (the “Prior Year Quarter”) or six months (the “Prior Year Six Months”) ended June 30, 2015.

The annual evaluation of the Company’s indefinite-lived trademarks is performed as of October 1, the beginning of the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter.

In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015 and in accordance with ASC 350, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges for indefinite-lived intangible assets (consisting of trademarks) of $362 million and $40 million in the men’s segment and home segment, respectively.  There was no impairment of the indefinite-lived trademarks during the Current Quarter, Prior Year Quarter, Current Six Months or Prior Year Six Months.  Further, in accordance with ASC 360, there were no impairment charges to the Company’s definite-lived trademarks during the Current Quarter, Current Six Months, Prior Year Quarter or Prior Year Six Months.

In June 2016, the Company sold the rights to the London Fog intellectual property in the South Korea territory.  As a result of this transaction, the Company’s indefinite-lived trademarks decreased by $0.4 million.  Refer to Note 4 for further details.

In February 2016, the Company sold its rights to the Badgley Mischka intellectual property and related assets.  At the time of this transaction, the definite-lived trademarks for Badgley Mischka were fully amortized in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.  Refer to Note 4 for further details.

Other amortizable intangibles primarily include non-compete agreements and contracts and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 1 to 15 years. Certain trademarks are amortized using estimated useful lives of 10 to 15 years with no residual values.

Amortization expense for intangible assets for the Current Quarter and the Prior Year Quarter was $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively.  Amortization expense for intangible assets for the Current Six Months and Prior Year Six Months was $1.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

There were no gains on sale of trademarks in the Prior Year Quarter or Prior Year Six Months.

5. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASC 820”), establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurement. While ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements in its application to other accounting pronouncements, it does emphasize that a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 established the following fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs):

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets

Level 2: Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or market-corroborated inputs

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which requires the owner of the assets or liabilities to develop its own assumptions about how market participants would price these assets or liabilities

The valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

(A) Market approach - Uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities

(B) Income approach - Uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts, including present value techniques, option-pricing models and excess earnings method

(C) Cost approach - Based on the amount that would currently be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost)

To determine the fair value of certain financial instruments, the Company relies on Level 2 inputs generated by market transactions of similar instruments where available, and Level 3 inputs using an income approach when Level 1 and Level 2 inputs are not available. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of financial assets and financial liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

Hedge Instruments

From time to time, the Company may purchase hedge instruments to mitigate income statement risk and cash flow risk of revenue and receivables. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had no hedge instruments other than the 1.50% Convertible Note Hedges (see Note 6).

Financial Instruments

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the fair values of cash, receivables and accounts payable approximated their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of notes receivable and notes payable from and to our

13

joint venture partners approximate their carrying values. The fair value of our cost method investments is not readily determinable and it is not practical to obtain the information needed to determine the value. However, there has been no indication of an impairment of these cost method investments as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The estimated fair values of other financial instruments subject to fair value disclosures, determined based on Level One inputs including broker quotes or quoted market prices or rates for the same or similar instruments and the related carrying amounts are as follows:

	June 30, 2016				December 31, 2015
	CarryingAmount		Fair Value		CarryingAmount		Fair Value
Long-term debt, including current portion(1)	$	1,351,262	$	1,315,926	$	1,449,392	$	1,240,244

⁽¹⁾ Carrying amounts include aggregate unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs.

Additionally, the fair value of the available-for-sale securities acquired as part of the 2015 Buy-out of Iconix China (refer to Note 3 for further details) were $1.7 million and $3.9 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, with the change in fair value of $2.2 million recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet during the Current Six Months.

Financial instruments expose the Company to counterparty credit risk for nonperformance and to market risk for changes in interest. The Company manages exposure to counterparty credit risk through specific minimum credit standards, diversification of counterparties and procedures to monitor the amount of credit exposure. The Company’s financial instrument counterparties are investment or commercial banks with significant experience with such instruments as well as certain of our joint venture partners – see Note 3.

Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company accounts for non-recurring adjustments to the fair values of its non-financial assets and liabilities under ASC 820 using a market participant approach. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model with Level 3 inputs to measure the fair value of its non-financial assets and liabilities. The Company also adopted the provisions of ASC 820 as it relates to purchase accounting for its acquisitions. The Company has goodwill, which is tested for impairment at least annually, as required by ASC 350- “Intangibles- Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). Further, in accordance with ASC 350, the Company’s indefinite-lived trademarks are tested for impairment at least annually, on an individual basis as separate single units of accounting. Similarly, consistent with ASC 360- “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”), as it relates to accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, the Company assesses whether or not there is impairment of the Company’s definite-lived trademarks. There was no impairment, and therefore no write-down, of any of the Company’s long-lived assets during the Current Six Months and Prior Year Six Months.

6. Debt Arrangements

Senior Secured Notes and Variable Funding Note

On November 29, 2012, Icon Brand Holdings, Icon DE Intermediate Holdings LLC, Icon DE Holdings LLC and Icon NY Holdings LLC, each a limited-purpose, bankruptcy remote, wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company, (collectively, the “Co-Issuers”) issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of Series 2012-1 4.229% Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2 (the “2012 Senior Secured Notes”) in an offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Simultaneously with the issuance of the 2012 Senior Secured Notes, the Co-Issuers also entered into a revolving financing facility of Series 2012-1 Variable Funding Senior Notes, Class A-1 (the “Variable Funding Notes”), which allows for the funding of up to $100 million of Variable Funding Notes and certain other credit instruments, including letters of credit. The Variable Funding Notes were issued under the Indenture and allow for drawings on a revolving basis. Interest on the Variable Funding Notes will be payable at per annum rates equal to the CP Rate, Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate, as defined in the Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement.

In February 2015, the Company received $100.0 million proceeds from the Variable Funding Notes. There is a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Variable Funding Notes facility of 0.5% per annum. It is anticipated that any outstanding principal of and interest on the Variable Funding Notes will be repaid in full on or prior to January 2018. Following the anticipated repayment date, additional interest will accrue on the Variable Funding Notes equal to 5% per annum. The Variable Funding Notes and other credit instruments issued under the Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement are secured by the collateral described below.

On June 21, 2013, the Co-Issuers issued $275.0 million aggregate principal amount of Series 2013-1 4.352% Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2 (the “2013 Senior Secured Notes” and, together with the 2012 Senior Secured Notes, the “Senior Secured Notes”) in an offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Senior Secured Notes and the Variable Funding Notes are referred to collectively as the “Notes.” The Notes were issued in securitization transactions pursuant to which substantially all of Iconix’s United States and Canadian revenue-generating assets (the “Securitized Assets”), consisting principally of its intellectual property and license agreements for the use of its intellectual property, were transferred to and are currently held by the Co-Issuers. The Securitized Assets do not include revenue generating assets of (x) the Iconix subsidiaries that own the Ecko Unltd trademarks, the Mark Ecko trademarks, the Umbro trademarks, the Lee Cooper trademarks, or the Strawberry Shortcake trademarks, (y) the Iconix subsidiaries that own assets relating to Iconix’s other brands outside of the United States and Canada or (z) the joint ventures in which Iconix and certain of its subsidiaries have investments and which own the Artful Dodger trademarks, the Modern Amusement trademarks and the Buffalo trademarks, the Pony trademarks, the Nicholas Graham trademarks or the Hydraulic trademarks.

While the Notes are outstanding, payments of interest are required to be made on the Senior Secured Notes on a quarterly basis. To the extent funds are available, principal payments in the amount of $10.5 million and $4.8 million are required to be made on the 2012 Senior Secured Notes and 2013 Senior Secured Notes, respectively, on a quarterly basis.

The legal final maturity date of the Senior Secured Notes is in January of 2043, but it is anticipated that, unless earlier prepaid to the extent permitted under the Indenture, the Senior Secured Notes will be repaid in January of 2020.

Pursuant to the Indenture, the Notes are the joint and several obligations of the Co-Issuers only.

Neither the Company nor any subsidiary of the Company, other than the Securitization Entities, will guarantee or in any way be liable for the obligations of the Co-Issuers under the Indenture or the Notes.

The Notes are subject to a series of covenants and restrictions customary for transactions of this type, including (i) that the Co-Issuers maintain specified reserve accounts to be used to make required payments in respect of the Notes, (ii) provisions relating to optional and mandatory prepayments, including mandatory prepayments in the event of a change of control (as defined in the supplemental indentures) and the related payment of specified amounts, including specified make-whole payments in the case of the Senior Secured Notes under certain circumstances, (iii) certain indemnification payments in the event, among other things, the transfers of the assets pledged as collateral for the Notes are in stated ways defective or ineffective and (iv) covenants relating to recordkeeping, access to information and similar matters. The Company has been compliant with all covenants under the Notes from inception through the Current Quarter.

The Notes are also subject to customary rapid amortization events provided for in the Indenture, including events tied to (i) the failure to maintain a stated debt service coverage ratio, which tests the amount of net cash flow generated by the assets of the Co-Issuers against the amount of debt service obligations of the Co-Issuers (including any commitment fees and letter of credit fees with respect to the Variable Funding Notes, due and payable accrued interest, and due and payable scheduled principal payments on the Senior Secured Notes), (ii) certain manager termination events, (iii) the occurrence of an event of default and (iv) the failure to repay

15

or refinance the Notes on the anticipated repayment date. If a rapid amortization event were to occur, Icon DE Intermediate Holdings LLC and Icon Brand Holdings LLC would be restricted from declaring or paying distributions on any of its limited liability company interests.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the total principal balance of the Notes was $782.3 million and $812.9 million, respectively, of which $61.1 million was included in the current portion of long-term debt on the Company’s (unaudited for June 30, 2016) condensed consolidated balance sheet for each period. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $56.6 million and $48.7 million, respectively, is included in restricted cash on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and represents short-term restricted cash consisting of collections on behalf of the Securitized Assets, restricted to the payment of principal, interest and other fees on a quarterly basis under the Senior Secured Notes.

For each of the Current Quarter and Prior Year Quarter, cash interest expense relating to the Notes was approximately $8.5 million and $8.9 million, respectively.

For each of the Current Six Months and Prior Year Six Months, cash interest expense relating to the Notes was approximately $17.1 million and $17.2 million, respectively.

1.50% Convertible Notes

On March 18, 2013, the Company completed the issuance of $400.0 million principal amount of the Company’s 1.50% convertible senior subordinated notes due March 15, 2018 (“1.50% Convertible Notes”) in a private offering to certain institutional investors. The net proceeds received by the Company from the offering, excluding the net cost of hedges and sale of warrants (described below) and including transaction fees, were approximately $390.6 million.

The 1.50% Convertible Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 1.50%, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2013. However, the Company recognizes an effective interest rate of 6.50% on the carrying amount of the 1.50% Convertible Notes. The effective rate is based on the rate for a similar instrument that does not have a conversion feature. The 1.50% Convertible Notes will be convertible into cash and, if applicable, shares of the Company’s common stock based on a conversion rate of 32.4052 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to customary adjustments, per $1,000 principal amount of the 1.50% Convertible Notes (which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $30.86 per share) only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 2017 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the closing price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on and including the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is more than 130% of the conversion price per share, which is $1,000 divided by the then applicable conversion rate; (2) during the five consecutive business day period immediately following any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the 1.50% Convertible Notes for each day of that period was less than 98% of the product of (a) the closing price of the Company’s common stock for each day in that period and (b) the conversion rate per $1,000 principal amount of the 1.50% Convertible Notes; (3) if specified distributions to holders of the Company’s common stock are made, as set forth in the indenture governing the 1.50% Convertible Notes (“1.50% Indenture”); (4) if a “change of control” or other “fundamental change,” each as defined in the 1.50% Indenture, occurs; and (5) during the 90 day period prior to maturity of the 1.50% Convertible Notes. If the holders of the 1.50% Convertible Notes exercise the conversion provisions under the circumstances set forth, the Company will need to remit the lower of the principal balance of the 1.50% Convertible Notes or their conversion value to the holders in cash. As such, the Company would be required to classify the entire amount outstanding of the 1.50% Convertible Notes as a current liability in the following quarter. The evaluation of the classification of amounts outstanding associated with the 1.50% Convertible Notes will occur every quarter.

Upon conversion, a holder will receive an amount in cash equal to the lesser of (a) the principal amount of the 1.50% Convertible Note or (b) the conversion value, determined in the manner set forth in the 1.50% Indenture. If the conversion value exceeds the principal amount of the 1.50% Convertible Notes on the conversion date, the Company will also deliver, at its election, cash or the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and the Company’s common stock for the conversion value in excess of the principal amount. In the event of a change of control or other fundamental change, the holders of the 1.50% Convertible Notes may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their 1.50% Convertible Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 1.50% Convertible Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.  Holders of the 1.50% Convertible Notes who convert their 1.50% Convertible Notes in connection with a fundamental change may be entitled to a make-whole premium in the form of an increase in the conversion rate.

Pursuant to guidance issued under ASC 815- “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”), the 1.50% Convertible Notes are accounted for as convertible debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the embedded conversion option in the 1.50% Convertible Notes has not been accounted for as a separate derivative. For a discussion of the effects of the 1.50% Convertible Notes and the 1.50% Convertible Notes Hedges and Sold Warrants defined and discussed below on earnings per share, see Note 6.

16

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the amount of the 1.50% Convertible Notes accounted for as a liability was approximately $319.3 million and $357.5 million, respectively, and is reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows:

	June 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
Equity component carrying amount	$	49,784	$	49,931
Unamortized discount		29,014		42,547
Net debt carrying amount		319,256		357,453

In June 2016, the Company repurchased $51.7 million par value of the 1.50% Convertible Notes with a combination of $17.8 million in cash (including interest and trading fees) and the issuance of approximately 3.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Company accounted for this transaction in accordance with ASC 470-20 resulting in the recognition of a $5.5 million gain which is included in gain on extinguishment of debt, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income for the Current Quarter and Current Six Months and a reacquisition of approximately $0.1 million of the embedded conversion option recorded within additional paid in capital on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016.  

For the Current Quarter and Prior Year Quarter, the Company recorded additional non-cash interest expense of approximately $4.2 million and $3.9 million, respectively, representing the difference between the stated interest rate on the 1.50% Convertible Notes and the rate for a similar instrument that does not have a conversion feature.

For the Current Six Months and Prior Year Six Months, the Company recorded additional non-cash interest expense of approximately $8.0 million and $7.7 million, respectively, representing the difference between the stated interest rate on the 1.50% Convertible Notes and the rate for a similar instrument that does not have a conversion feature.

For each of the Current Quarter and Prior Year Quarter, cash interest expense relating to the 1.50% Convertible Notes was approximately $1.5 million.

For each of the Current Six Months and Prior Year Six Months, cash interest expense relating to the 1.50% Convertible Notes was approximately $3.0 million.

The 1.50% Convertible Notes do not provide for any financial covenants.

In connection with the sale of the 1.50% Convertible Notes, the Company entered into hedges for the 1.50% Convertible Notes (“1.50% Convertible Note Hedges”) with respect to its common stock with one entity (the “1.50% Counterparty”). Pursuant to the agreements governing these 1.50% Convertible Note Hedges, the Company purchased call options (the “1.50% Purchased Call Options”) from the 1.50% Counterparty covering up to approximately 13.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock. These 1.50% Convertible Note Hedges are designed to offset the Company’s exposure to potential dilution upon conversion of the 1.50% Convertible Notes in the event that the market value per share of the Company’s common stock at the time of exercise is greater than the strike price of the 1.50% Purchased Call Options (which strike price corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 1.50% Convertible Notes and is simultaneously subject to certain customary adjustments). On March 13, 2013, the Company paid an aggregate amount of approximately $84.1 million of the proceeds from the sale of the 1.50% Convertible Notes for the 1.50% Purchased Call Options, of which $29.4 million was included in the balance of deferred income tax assets at March 13, 2013 and is being recognized over the term of the 1.50% Convertible Notes. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the balance of deferred income tax assets related to this transaction was approximately $9.1 million and $13.0 million, respectively.

The Company also entered into separate warrant transactions with the 1.50% Counterparty whereby the Company, pursuant to the agreements governing these warrant transactions, sold to the 1.50% Counterparty warrants (the “1.50% Sold Warrants”) to acquire up to approximately 13.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a strike price of $35.5173 per share. The 1.50% Sold Warrants will become exercisable on June 18, 2018 and will expire by September 1, 2018. The Company received aggregate proceeds of approximately $57.7 million from the sale of the 1.50% Sold Warrants on March 13, 2013.

Pursuant to guidance issued under ASC 815 as it relates to accounting for derivative financial instruments indexed to, and potentially settled in, a company’s own stock, the 1.50% Convertible Note Hedge and the proceeds received from the issuance of the 1.50% Sold Warrants were recorded as a charge and an increase, respectively, in additional paid-in capital in stockholders’ equity as separate equity transactions. As a result of these transactions, the Company recorded a net increase to additional paid-in-capital of $3.0 million in March 2013.

17

The Company has evaluated the impact of adopting guidance issued under ASC 815 regarding embedded features as it relates to the 1.50% Sold Warrants, and has determined it had no impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position through June 30, 2016, and will have no impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position in future fiscal periods.

As the 1.50% Convertible Note Hedge transactions and the warrant transactions were separate transactions entered into by the Company with the 1.50% Counterparty, they are not part of the terms of the 1.50% Convertible Notes and will not affect the holders’ rights under the 1.50% Convertible Notes. In addition, holders of the 1.50% Convertible Notes will not have any rights with respect to the 1.50% Purchased Call Options or the 1.50% Sold Warrants.

If the market value per share of the Company’s common stock at the time of conversion of the 1.50% Convertible Notes is above the strike price of the 1.50% Purchased Call Options, the 1.50% Purchased Call Options entitle the Company to receive from the 1.50% Counterparties net shares of the Company’s common stock, cash or a combination of shares of the Company’s common stock and cash, depending on the consideration paid on the underlying 1.50% Convertible Notes, based on the excess of the then current market price of the Company’s common stock over the strike price of the 1.50% Purchased Call Options. Additionally, if the market price of the Company’s common stock at the time of exercise of the 1.50% Sold Warrants exceeds the strike price of the 1.50% Sold Warrants, the Company will owe the 1.50% Counterparty net shares of the Company’s common stock or cash, not offset by the 1.50% Purchased Call Options, in an amount based on the excess of the then current market price of the Company’s common stock over the strike price of the 1.50% Sold Warrants.

These transactions will generally have the effect of increasing the conversion price of the 1.50% Convertible Notes to $35.5173 per share of the Company’s common stock, representing a 52.5% percent premium based on the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock of $23.29 per share on March 12, 2013.

Moreover, in connection with the warrant transactions with the 1.50% Counterparty, to the extent that the price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the strike price of the 1.50% Sold Warrants, the warrant transactions could have a dilutive effect on the Company’s earnings per share.

2.50% Convertible Notes

On May 23, 2011, the Company completed the issuance of $300.0 million principal amount of the Company’s 2.50% convertible senior subordinated notes due June 2016 (“2.50% Convertible Notes”) in a private offering to certain institutional investors. The net proceeds received by the Company from the offering, excluding the net cost of hedges and sale of warrants (described below) and including transaction fees, were approximately $291.6 million.

Pursuant to guidance issued under ASC 815, the 2.50% Convertible Notes are accounted for as convertible debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the embedded conversion option in the 2.50% Convertible Notes has not been accounted for as a separate derivative. For a discussion of the effects of the 2.50% Convertible Notes and the 2.50% Convertible Notes Hedges and Sold Warrants defined and discussed below on earnings per share, see Note 8.

In April 2016, the Company repurchased $143.9 million par value of the 2.50% Convertible Notes for $145.6 million in cash (including interest and trading fees).  The Company accounted for this transaction in accordance with ASC 470-20, resulting in the recognition of a $1.2 million loss which is included in gain on extinguishment of debt, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income for the Current Six Months.  The remaining outstanding balance of the 2.50% Convertible Notes, in an amount equal to $156.1 million, was repaid on June 1, 2016 (the maturity date).

For the Current Quarter and Prior Year Quarter, the Company recorded additional non-cash interest expense of approximately $1.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively, representing the difference between the stated interest rate on the 2.50% Convertible Notes and the rate for a similar instrument that does not have a conversion feature.

For the Current Six Months and Prior Year Six Months, the Company recorded additional non-cash interest expense of approximately $4.5 million and $6.1 million, respectively, representing the difference between the stated interest rate on the 2.50% Convertible Notes and the rate for a similar instrument that does not have a conversion feature.

For the Current Quarter and Prior Year Quarter, cash interest expense relating to the 2.50% Convertible Notes was approximately $1.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

For the Current Six Months and Prior Year Six Months, cash interest expense relating to the 2.50% Convertible Notes was approximately $3.0 million and $3.8 million, respectively.

18

In connection with the sale of the 2.50% Convertible Notes, the Company entered into hedges for the 2.50% Convertible Notes (“2.50% Convertible Note Hedges”) with respect to its common stock with two entities (the “2.50% Counterparties”). Pursuant to the agreements governing these 2.50% Convertible Note Hedges, the Company purchased call options (the “2.50% Purchased Call Options”) from the 2.50% Counterparties covering up to approximately 9.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock. These 2.50% Convertible Note Hedges were designed to offset the Company’s exposure to potential dilution upon conversion of the 2.50% Convertible Notes in the event that the market value per share of the Company’s common stock at the time of exercise was greater than the strike price of the 2.50% Purchased Call Options (which strike price corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2.50% Convertible Notes and is simultaneously subject to certain customary adjustments). On May 23, 2011, the Company paid an aggregate amount of approximately $58.7 million of the proceeds from the sale of the 2.50% Convertible Notes for the 2.50% Purchased Call Options, of which $20.6 million was included in the balance of deferred income tax assets at May 23, 2011 and was recognized over the term of the 2.50% Convertible Notes. As of June 30, 2016, the balance of deferred income tax assets related to this transaction was zero.

Senior Secured Term Loan

On March 7, 2016, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), among IBG Borrower LLC, the Company’s wholly-owned direct subsidiary, as borrower (“IBG Borrower”), the Company and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of IBG Borrower, as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (“Cortland”) and the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”), including CF ICX LLC and Fortress Credit Co LLC (“Fortress”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders are providing to IBG Borrower a senior secured term loan (the “Senior Secured Term Loan”), scheduled to mature on March 7, 2021, in an aggregate principal amount of $300 million and bearing interest at LIBOR (with a floor of 1.50%) plus an applicable margin of 10% per annum.

The net cash proceeds of the Senior Secured Term Loan, which were approximately $264.2 million (after deducting financing, investment banking and legal fees), were, pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, deposited by the Lenders into an escrow account on April 4, 2016. IBG Borrower deposited into the escrow account certain additional funds, so that the total amount of cash on deposit in the escrow account was sufficient to pay all outstanding obligations, plus accrued interest, under the Company’s 2.50% Convertible Notes due June 2016.  In accordance with the terms of the Senior Secured Term Loan, the funds in the escrow account were used to repay the 2.50% Convertible Notes (see above discussion on repayment of the 2.50% Convertible Notes) on or before their maturity, with any remaining funds going toward general corporate purposes permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Senior Secured Term Loan amortize yearly at 5% of principal as long as the applicable asset coverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, remains greater than or equal to 1.65:1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter and IBG Borrower timely delivers a compliance certificate to Cortland after each fiscal quarter. If IBG Borrower’s asset coverage ratio measured as of the end of a certain fiscal quarter is 1.25:1.00 or greater but less than 1.45:1.00, or 1.45:1.00 or greater but less than 1.65:1.00, IBG Borrower will be obligated to pay during the subsequent quarter amortization at 25% per annum, or 15% per annum, respectively. IBG Borrower will also pay amortization at 25% per annum if it fails to timely deliver a compliance certificate to Cortland after each fiscal quarter.

IBG Borrower’s obligations under the Senior Secured Term Loan are guaranteed jointly and severally by the Company and the other Guarantors pursuant to a separate facility guaranty. IBG Borrower’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under the Senior Secured Term Loan are secured by first priority liens on and security interests in substantially all assets of IBG Borrower, the Company and the other Guarantors and a pledge of substantially all equity interests of the Company’s subsidiaries (subject to certain limits including with respect to foreign subsidiaries) owned by the Company, IBG Borrower or any other Guarantor. However, the security interests do not cover certain intellectual property and licenses associated with the exploitation of the Company’s Umbro^® brand in Greater China, those owned, directly or indirectly by the Company’s subsidiary Iconix Luxembourg Holdings SÀRL or those subject to the Company’s securitization facility. In addition, the pledges exclude certain equity interests of Complex Media, Inc., Marcy Media Holdings, LLC, and the subsidiaries of Iconix China Holdings Limited.

In connection with the Credit Agreement, IBG Borrower, the Company and the other Guarantors have made customary representations and warranties. In addition to adhering with certain customary affirmative covenants, IBG Borrower established a lock-box account, and IBG Borrower, the Company and the other Guarantors entered into account control agreements on certain deposit accounts. The Credit Agreement also mandates that IBG Borrower, the Company and the other Guarantors maintain and allow appraisals of their intellectual property, perform under the terms of certain licenses and other agreements scheduled in the Credit Agreement and report significant changes to or terminations of licenses generating guaranteed minimum royalties of more than $5 million. IBG Borrower must satisfy a minimum asset coverage ratio of 1.25:1.00 and maintain a leverage ratio of no greater than 4.50:1.00.  The Company has been compliant with all covenants under the Senior Secured Term Loan from inception through the Current Quarter.

19

In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary negative covenants and events of default. The Credit Agreement limits the ability of IBG Borrower, the Company and the other Guarantors, with respect to themselves, their subsidiaries and certain joint ventures, from, among other things, incurring and prepaying certain indebtedness, granting liens on certain assets, consummating certain types of acquisitions, making fundamental changes (including mergers and consolidations), engaging in substantially different lines of business than those in which they are currently engaged, making restricted payments and amending or terminating certain licenses scheduled in the Credit Agreement. Such restrictions, failure to comply with which may result in an event of default under the terms of the Credit Agreement, are subject to certain customary and specifically negotiated exceptions, as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

If an event of default occurs, in addition to the Interest Rate increasing by an additional 3% per annum Cortland shall, at the request of Lenders holding more than 50% of the then-outstanding principal of the Senior Secured Term Loan, declare payable all unpaid principal and accrued interest and take action to enforce payment in favor of the Lenders. An event of default includes, among other events, a change of control by which a person or group becomes the beneficial owner of 35% of the voting stock of the Company or IBG Borrower or a majority of the board of the Company or IBG Borrower changes during a set period. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, both voluntary and mandatory prepayments will trigger a make whole premium plus 3% of the aggregate principal amount during the first two years of the loan, and will carry a premium of 3% of the aggregate principal amount during the third year of the loan and 1% during the fourth year of the loan, with no premiums payable in subsequent periods.

The Company recorded cash interest expense of approximately $8.3 million relating to the Senior Secured Term Loan for the Current Quarter and Current Six Months as compared to none for the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Year Six Months.

As of June 30, 2016, $13.3 million and $500.0 million remained available for repurchase under the July 2013 Program and February 2014 Program, respectively.

2009 Equity Incentive Plan

On August 13, 2009, the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (“2009 Plan”). The 2009 Plan authorizes the granting of common stock options or other stock-based awards covering up to 3.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock. All employees, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company, including those of the Company’s subsidiaries, are eligible to be granted non-qualified stock options and other stock-based awards (as defined) under the 2009 Plan, and employees are also eligible to be granted incentive stock options (as defined) under the 2009 Plan. No new awards may be granted under the Plan after August 13, 2019.

On August 15, 2012, the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s Amended and Restated 2009 Plan (“Amended and Restated 2009 Plan”), which, among other items and matters, increased the shares available under the 2009 Plan by an additional 4.0 million shares to a total of 7.0 million shares issuable under the Amended and Restated 2009 Plan and extended the 2009 Plan termination date through August 15, 2022.

2015 Executive Incentive Plan

On December 4, 2015, the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s 2015 Executive Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”).  Under the 2015 Plan, the Company’s officers and other key employees designated by the Compensation Committee are eligible to receive awards of cash, common stock or stock units issuable under the Amended and Restated 2009 Plan, or any other combination thereof, awards under the 2015 Plan are based on the achievement of certain pre-determined, non-discretionary performance goals established by the Compensation Committee and are further subject, among other things, the 2015 Plan participant’s continuous employment with the Company until the applicable payment date.

Shares Reserved for Issuance

At June 30, 2016, there were 519,180 common shares available for issuance under the Amended and Restated 2009 Plan and, there were no common shares available for issuance under any previous Company plan.

Stock Options and Warrants

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

21

There was no compensation expense related to stock option grants or warrant grants during the Current Quarter or Prior Year Quarter as all prior awards have been fully expensed.

Summaries of the Company’s stock options, warrants (other than warrants issued related to our 1.50% Convertible Notes and 2.50% Convertible Notes) and performance related options activity, and related information for the Current Six Months are as follows:

Options	Options			WeightedAverage Exercise Price
Outstanding at January 1, 2016		50,000		$	17.18

Outstanding at June 30, 2016		20,000	$	6.64
Exercisable at June 30, 2016		20,000	$	6.64

The weighted average contractual term (in years) of options outstanding and exercisable and warrants outstanding and exercisable as of June 30, 2016 was 1.86 and 2.26, respectively.

All warrants issued in connection with acquisitions are recorded at fair market value using the Black Scholes model and are recorded as part of purchase accounting. Certain warrants are exercised using the cashless method.

Restricted stock

Compensation cost for restricted stock is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company’s stock at the date the common stock is issued over the amount the employee must pay to acquire the stock (which is generally zero). The compensation cost, net of projected forfeitures, is recognized over the period between the issue date and the date any restrictions lapse, with compensation cost for grants with a graded vesting schedule recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in substance, multiple awards. The restrictions do not affect voting and dividend rights.

The following table summarize information about unvested restricted stock transactions:

	Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested, January 1, 2016		2,222,508		$	20.06
Granted		2,003,110			5.24
Vested		(120,528	)		17.54
Forfeited/Canceled		(144,987	)		7.06
Non-vested, June 30, 2016		3,960,103		$	13.12

The Company has awarded time-based restricted shares of common stock to certain employees. The awards have restriction periods tied to employment and vest over a maximum period of approximately 3 years. The cost of the time-based restricted stock awards, which is the fair market value on the date of grant net of estimated forfeitures, is expensed ratably over the vesting period. The Company has also awarded performance-based restricted shares of common stock to certain employees. The awards have restriction

22

periods tied to certain performance measures. The cost of the performance-based restricted stock awards, which is the fair market value on the date of grant net of estimated forfeitures, is expensed when the likelihood of those shares being earned is deemed probable.

Compensation expense related to restricted stock grants for the Current Quarter and Prior Year Quarter was approximately $1.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively.  Compensation expense related to restricted stock grants for the Current Six Months and Prior Year Six Months was approximately $3.5 million (including approximately $1.0 million related to retention stock discussed below) and $5.9 million, respectively.  Excluding the compensation expense related to the performance-based restricted stock awards which are tied to achievement of certain performance metrics of the Company, an additional amount of $9.6 million of expense related to time-based restricted shares is expected to be expensed evenly over a period of approximately three years.  During the Current Quarter and Prior Year Quarter, the Company repurchased shares valued at $0.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of its common stock in connection with net share settlement of restricted stock grants and option exercises.  During the Current Six Months and Prior Year Six Months, the Company repurchased shares valued at $0.5 million and $14.6 million, respectively, of its common stock in connection with net share settlement of restricted stock grants and option exercises.    

Retention Stock

On January 7, 2016, the Company awarded to certain employees a retention stock grant of approximately 1.3 million shares with a then current value of approximately $7.5 million.  The awards cliff vest in three years based on the Company’s total shareholder return measured against a peer group as described in the Company’s Form 10-K/A filed on April 29, 2016.  The measurement period began on the grant date and the beginning measurement amount was calculated based on the 20 day average closing stock price leading up to the grant date.  The measurement period ends on December 31, 2018 and the ending measurement amount is based on the 20 day average closing stock price leading up to December 31, 2018.  The award will vest on a scaled pay out based on the Company’s total shareholder return versus the peer group.  

In accordance with ASC 718, the Company valued these shares utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation as the awards are based on market conditions.  Key assumptions utilized in the valuation methodology were stock price at the beginning and end of the period, risk free interest rate, expected dividend yield when simulating total shareholder return, expected dividend yield when simulating the Company’s stock price, stock price volatility, and correlation coefficients.  

Short-term Shareholder Rights Plan

On January 27, 2016, the Company announced that its Board of Directors adopted a short-term shareholder rights plan (the “Rights Plan”), which will expire following the 2016 annual meeting of shareholders, absent an extension being approved by shareholders.  The Board of Directors adopted the Rights Plan in light of activity in the Company’s shares occurring prior to the adoption of the Rights Plan, including the accumulation of meaningful positions by holders of derivatives securities, and what the Iconix Board of Directors and management believes is a currently depressed share price for the Company’s common stock.

Pursuant to the Rights Plan, one preferred stock purchase right will be distributed for each share of common stock held by shareholders of record on February 12, 2016.  The rights will become exercisable only if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the Company’s common stock (including in the form of synthetic ownership through derivative positions).  In that situation, each holder of a right (other than, as defined in the Rights Plan, the person or group triggering the rights) will be entitled to purchase, at the then-current exercise price (which was initially set at $30 per right), shares of common stock (and, in certain circumstances, other consideration) having a value of twice the exercise price of the right (a 50% discount).  Rights held by any person or group whose actions trigger the Rights Plan, including potentially counterparties to derivative transactions with such person or group, would become void.  The Rights Plan had no impact on the Company’s financial reporting for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and will not impact any future periods.  

Long-Term Incentive Compensation.

On March 31, 2016, the Company approved a new plan for long-term incentive compensation (the “2016 LTIP”) for key employees and granted equity awards under the 2016 LTIP in the aggregate amount of 796,803 shares with a then current value of approximately $6.4 million. For each grantee other than Mr. Haugh, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, 33% of the award was in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 67% of the award was in the form of target level performance stock units (“PSUs”).  Mr. Haugh’s award under the 2016 LTIP consisted of 25% RSUs and 75% PSUs. The RSUs for each grantee vest in three equal installments annually over a three-year period. Other than for Mr. Haugh, the PSUs cliff vest over three years based on the achievement of operating income performance targets established by the Compensation Committee.  One-third of Mr. Haugh’s PSUs shall be converted to time-based awards on December 31, 2016, December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018, based on the achievement of operating income performance targets established by the Compensation Committee, and such time-based awards shall

23

vest and be settled on December 31, 2018.  To the extent there are not enough shares of common stock to be issued under the Company’s 2009 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, or a new stockholder approved equity incentive plan is not approved to satisfy the obligations under the 2016 LTIP, grantees of awards made pursuant to the 2016 LTIP shall be entitled to cash in an amount equal to any shortfall for such shares based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of vesting.  

8. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the effect of restricted stock-based awards, common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants and shares underlying convertible notes potentially issuable upon conversion. The difference between basic and diluted weighted-average common shares results from the assumption that all dilutive stock options outstanding were exercised and all convertible notes have been converted into common stock.

For the Current Quarter, of the total potentially dilutive shares related to restricted stock-based awards, stock options and warrants, approximately 0.1 million were anti-dilutive, as compared to less than 0.2 million shares that were anti-dilutive for the Prior Year Quarter.  

For each of the Current Quarter and Prior Year Quarter, none of the performance related restricted stock-based awards issued to the Company’s named executive officers were anti-dilutive.  

For the Current Quarter and Current Six Months, warrants issued in connection with the Company’s 1.50% Convertible Notes financing and 2.50% Convertible Notes financing were anti-dilutive and therefore were not included in this calculation. For the Prior Year Quarter and the Prior Year Six Months, warrants issued in connection with the Company’s 1.50% Convertible Notes financing and 2.50% Convertible Notes financing were dilutive and therefore were included in this calculation.  

A reconciliation of weighted average shares used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share follows:

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				For the Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2016		2015		2016		2015
Basic		49,035		48,243		48,772		48,201
Effect of exercise of stock options		3		82		2		91
Effect of assumed vesting of restricted stock		1,637		1,270		1,727		1,286
Effect of convertible notes subject to conversion		—		—		—		1,174
Diluted		50,675		49,595		50,501		50,752

In accordance with ASC 480, the Company considers its redeemable non-controlling interest in its computation of earnings per share.  For each of the Current Quarter, Prior Year Quarter, Current Six Months and Prior Year Six Months, the Company’s redeemable non-controlling interest had no impact on the Company’s earnings per share calculation.

See Note 6 for discussion of hedges related to our convertible notes.

Legal Proceedings

In July 2013, Signature Apparel Group LLC, referred to as the Debtor, filed an amended complaint in an adversary proceeding captioned Signature Apparel Group LLC v. ROC Fashions, LLC, et al., Adv. Pro. No. 11-02800 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York that, among others, named Studio IP Holdings LLC, referred to as Studio IP, and the Company (Studio IP and the Company are collectively referred to as Iconix), as defendants.  In the amended complaint, the Debtor asserts that Iconix was complicit in an alleged conspiracy to pay $2.8 million to Debtor’s principals.  The Debtor also alleges that ROC Fashions LLC paid a $6.0 million fee to Iconix for a license, and asserts that those funds should be returned to the Debtor as well.  In total, the Debtor is seeking at least $8.8 million in damages from Iconix. Iconix vigorously defended against the claims, and the trial on this matter concluded in March 2016.  The Company is currently awaiting the Bankruptcy Court’s determination on the matter and is unable to estimate its ultimate outcome.

In December 2015, Anthony L&S, LLC, referred to as ALS, the licensee of the Pony and related trademarks, commenced an action captioned Anthony L&S, LLC v. US Pony Holdings, LLC and Iconix Brand Group, Inc., Index No. 654199/2015 in New York State Supreme Court, New York County against the Company and its subsidiary, US Pony Holdings, LLC, referred to as Pony, seeking damages of $30.0 million, plus punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and costs.  ALS alleges that Pony breached the parties’ license agreement by failing to comply with its marketing obligations.  ALS also alleges that Pony and the Company are liable for fraud because Pony and the Company made purported misstatements about their marketing intentions/efforts.  The Company and Pony are vigorously defending against the claims.  At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the ultimate outcome of this legal matter.

In January 2016, ALS’s affiliate, Anthony L&S Athletics, LLC, referred to as Anthony Athletics, commenced an action captioned Anthony L&S Athletics, LLC v. US Pony Holdings, LLC and Iconix Brand Group, Inc., Case No. 11867 in the Chancery Court in the State of Delaware against the Company and Pony.  Based primarily on the same allegations as in the New York action, Anthony Athletics, the Company’s joint venture partner in Pony, seeks a judicial dissolution of Pony, as well as $30.0 million in damages resulting from the Company’s purported breach of the Pony operating agreement and the failure to market the brands. The Company and Pony are vigorously defending against the claims.  At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the ultimate outcome of this legal matter.

In April 2016, New Rise Brands Holdings, LLC, referred to as New Rise, a former licensee of the Ecko Unlimited trademark, and Sichuan New Rise Import & Export Co. Ltd., referred to as Sichuan, the guarantor under New Rise’s license agreement, commenced an action captioned New Rise Brands Holdings, LLC and Sichuan New Rise Import & Export Co. Ltd v. IP Holdings, LLC, et al., Index No. 652278/2016 in the New York State Supreme Court, New York County against the Company’s subsidiary, IP Holdings, LLC, referred to as IP Holdings, seeking damages of $15 million, plus punitive damages of $50 million, attorneys’ fees and costs.  Among other claims, New Rise alleges improper termination of New Rise’s license agreement and fraud.  IP Holdings is vigorously defending against the claims and has asserted counterclaims against New Rise and Sichuan.  At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the ultimate outcome of this legal matter.

Two shareholder derivative complaints are pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York captioned James v. Cuneo et al, Docket No. 1:16-cv-02212 and Ruthazer v. Cuneo et al, Docket No. 1:16-cv-04208, and two shareholder derivative complaints are pending in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York captioned De Filippis v. Cuneo et al. Index No. 650711/2016 and Gold v. Cole et al, Index No. 53724/2016.  The complaints name the Company as a nominal defendant and assert claims for breach of fiduciary duty, insider trading and unjust enrichment against certain of the Company's current and former directors and officers arising out of the Company's recent restatement of financial reports and certain employee departures.  An additional shareholder derivative complaint captioned Rosenfeld v. Cuneo et al., Index No. 510427/2016 is pending in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Kings County.  The complaint names the Company as a nominal defendant and asserts similar claims against certain of the Company’s current and former directors and officers as noted in connection with the shareholder derivative complaints described above.  At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the ultimate outcome of these legal matters. 

As previously announced, the Company has received a formal order of investigation from the SEC. The Company intends to continue to cooperate fully with the SEC.

Three securities class actions, respectively captioned Lazaro v. Iconix Brand Group, Inc. et al., Docket No. 1:15-cv-04981-PGG,  Niksich v. Iconix Brand Group, Inc. et al. , Docket No. 1:15-cv-04860-PGG and  Haverhill Retirement System v. Iconix Brand Group, Inc. et al  Docket No. 1:15 – cv 06658, have been consolidated in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and certain former officers and one current officer (each, a “Class Action” and, together, the “Class Actions”). The plaintiffs in the Class Actions purport to represent a class of purchasers of the Company’s securities from February 22, 2012 to November 5, 2015, inclusive, and claim that the Company and individual defendants violated sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, by making allegedly false and misleading statements regarding certain aspects of the Company’s business operations and prospects.  The Company and the individual defendants have moved to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint and intend to vigorously defend against the claims.  At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the ultimate outcome of this legal matter.

From time to time, the Company is also made a party to litigation incurred in the normal course of business. In addition, in connection with litigation commenced against licensees for non-payment of royalties, certain licensees have asserted unsubstantiated counterclaims against the Company.  While any litigation has an element of uncertainty, the Company believes that the final outcome of any of these routine matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or future liquidity.

10. Related Party Transactions

The Company incurred advertising expenses with Complex Media, Inc. to promote certain of the Company’s men’s brands.  The Company owns a minority interest in Complex Media, Inc. as discussed in Note 3 and in Note 18.  There were no advertising expenses with Complex Media, Inc. for the Current Six Months and Prior Year Six Months, and no related accounts payable as of June 30, 2016

25

as compared to $0.2 million as of December 31, 2015.  Management believes that all transactions were made on terms and conditions no less favorable than those available in the marketplace from unrelated parties.

For the Current Six Months, the Company paid approximately $0.3 million to Galore Media, Inc. in relation to certain marketing services to promote the Company’s brands and for the rights to certain warrants of Galore Media, Inc. The Company owns a minority interest in Galore Media, Inc. as discussed in Note 3.  Management believes that all transactions were made on terms and conditions no less favorable than those available in the marketplace from unrelated parties.

During each of the Current Quarter, Current Six Months, Prior Year Quarter and Prior Year Six Months, the Company incurred less than $0.1 million per year in consulting fees in connection with a consulting arrangement entered into with Mark Friedman, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, relating to the provision by Mr. Friedman of investor relations services.  Such consulting agreement was terminated on May 3, 2016.

The Company has entered into certain license agreements in which the core licensee is also one of our joint venture partners.  For the Current Quarter and Prior Year Quarter, the Company recognized the following royalty revenue amounts:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June30,
	2016		2015		2016		2015

⁽¹⁾ Global Brands Group Asia Limited also serves as agent to Peanuts Worldwide for the Greater China Territory for Peanuts brands.  For the Current Quarter and Prior Year Quarter, Global Brands Group Asia Limited earned fees of approximately $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in its capacity as agent to Peanuts Worldwide.  For the Current Six Months and Prior Year Six Months, Global Brands Group Asia limited earned fees of approximately $1.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively, in its capacity as agent to Peanuts Worldwide.

11. Income Taxes

The Company computes its expected annual effective income tax rates in accordance with ASC 740 and makes changes on a quarterly basis as necessary based on certain factors such as changes in forecasted annual pre-tax income; changes to actual or forecasted permanent book to tax differences; impacts from future tax audits with state, federal or foreign tax authorities; impacts from tax law changes; or change in judgment as to the realizability of deferred tax assets. The Company identifies items which are not normal and are non-recurring in nature and treats these as discrete events. The tax effect of discrete items is recorded in the quarter in which the discrete events occur. Due to the volatility of these factors, the Company's consolidated effective income tax rate can change significantly on a quarterly basis.

With the exception of the Buffalo brand joint venture, Iconix Canada joint venture, and Iconix Middle East joint venture, the Company is not responsible for the income taxes related to the non-controlling interest’s share of the joint venture’s earnings.  Therefore, the tax liability associated with the non-controlling interest share of the joint venture’s earnings is not reported in the Company’s income tax expense, despite the joint venture’s entire income being consolidated in the Company’s reported income before income tax expense.  As such, the joint venture’s earnings have the effect of lowering our effective tax rate.  This effect is more pronounced in periods in which joint venture earnings are higher relative to our other earnings.  Since the Buffalo brand joint venture and the Iconix Canada joint venture are taxable entities in Canada, and the Iconix Middle East joint venture is a taxable entity in the United Kingdom, the Company is required to report its tax liability, including taxes attributable to the non-controlling interest, in its statement of operations.  All other consolidated joint ventures are partnerships and treated as pass-through entities not subject to taxation in their local tax jurisdiction, and therefore the Company includes only the tax attributable to its proportionate share of income from the joint venture in income tax expense.

26

The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S., various state and local, and foreign jurisdictions. The Company, joined by its domestic subsidiaries, files a consolidated income tax return for Federal income tax purposes.  In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination in such domestic and foreign jurisdictions. The Company recognized interest expense related to uncertain tax positions of less than $0.1 million in the Current Quarter as compared to none during the Prior Year Quarter.  The Company recognized interest expense related to uncertain tax positions of approximately $0.2 million in the Current Six Months as compared to none during the Prior Year Six Months.  The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

The Company’s consolidated effective tax rate was 31.1% and 37.8% for the Current Quarter and Prior Year Quarter, respectively. The Company’s consolidated effective tax rate was 31.3% and 30.6% for the Current Six Months and Prior Year Six Months, respectively.

During the first quarter of the year ending December 31, 2016, the Company early adopted the guidance under ASU 2015-17, on a retrospective basis, concerning simplified presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current in a classified balance sheet. Adoption of this guidance resulted in reclassification of our net current deferred tax assets of approximately $2.4 million to the net non-current deferred tax liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of each June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Management believes that an adequate provision has been made for any adjustments that may result from tax examinations; however, the outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty. If any issues addressed in the Company's tax audits are resolved in a manner not consistent with management's expectations, the Company could be required to adjust its provision for income tax in the period such resolution occurs.

12. Segment and Geographic Data

The Company identifies its operating segments according to how business activities are managed and evaluated. Prior to April 1, 2015, the Company had disclosed one reportable segment. Following such quarter, the Company has reviewed its business activities, how they are managed and evaluated, and determined that it would reflect five distinct reportable operating segments: men’s, women’s, home, entertainment and corporate. Therefore, the Company has disclosed these reportable segments for the periods shown below. Since the Company does not track, manage and analyze its assets by segments, no disclosure of segmented assets is reported.

The geographic regions consist of the United States, Japan and Other (which principally represent Latin America and Europe). Revenues attributable to each region are based on the location in which licensees are located and where they principally do business.

14. Other Liabilities – Current

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, other current liabilities include amounts of $1.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively, due to certain joint ventures that are not consolidated with the Company, and $2.0 million due to Purim as of December 31, 2015 related to the MG Icon acquisition which was paid in full during the Current Six Months.  See Note 3 for further details of this transaction.

15. Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of Iconix Luxembourg and Red Diamond Holdings which are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, located in Luxembourg, is the Euro.  However the companies have certain dollar denominated assets, in particular cash and notes receivable, that are maintained in U.S. Dollars, which are required to be revalued each quarter. Due to fluctuations in currency in the Current Quarter and the Prior Year Quarter, the Company recorded a $0.7 million currency translation gain and a $1.9 million currency translation loss, respectively, that is included in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Due to fluctuations in currency in the Current Six Months and the Prior Year Six Months, the Company recorded a $0.9 million currency translation gain and a $8.8 million currency translation gain, respectively, that is included in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Comprehensive income includes certain gains and losses that, under U.S. GAAP, are excluded from net income as such amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity. Our comprehensive income is primarily comprised of net income and foreign currency translation gain or loss. During the Current Quarter and the Prior Year Quarter, we recognized as a component of our comprehensive income, a foreign currency translation loss of $7.5 million and foreign currency translation gain of $7.1 million, respectively, due to changes in foreign exchange rates during the Current Quarter and the Prior Year Quarter, respectively.  During the Current Six Months and the Prior Year Six Months, we recognized as a component of our comprehensive income, a foreign currency translation gain of $5.0 million and foreign currency translation loss of $30.6 million, respectively, due to changes in foreign exchange rates during the Current Six Months and the Prior Year Six Months, respectively.  The foreign currency translation gain in the Current Six Months is primarily attributable to the Umbro and Lee Cooper trademarks in the Luxembourg territory.

16. Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis”, which changes the way reporting enterprises evaluate whether (a) they should consolidate limited partnerships and similar entities, (b) fees paid to a decision maker or service provider are variable interests in a VIE, and (c) variable interest in a VIE held by related parties of the reporting enterprise require the reporting enterprise to consolidate the VIE.  The ASU also significantly changes how to evaluate voting rights for entities that are not similar to limited partnerships when determining when the entity is a VIE, which may affect entities for which the decision making rights are conveyed through a contractual arrangement.  This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years, including interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015.  Early adoption is allowed, including early adoption in an interim period.  A reporting enterprise may apply a modified retrospective approach or full retrospective application. The Company adopted the new standard in FY 2016 which did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments”, which relates to business combinations and requires adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period to be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined.  This includes any effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if

29

the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date.  In addition, the amendments require an entity to disclose (either on the face of the income statement or in the notes) the nature and amount of measurement-period adjustments recognized in the current period, including separately the amounts in current-period income statement line items that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date.  The ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015.  Early adoption is permitted.  The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively to measurement-period adjustments that occur after the effective date of this ASU.  The Company adopted the new standard in FY 2016 and had no impact on the presentation of our financial statements during the first quarter of the year ending December 31, 2016.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, which eliminates the guidance in ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, that required an entity to separate deferred tax liabilities and assets between current and noncurrent amounts in a classified balance sheet.  The amendments require that all deferred tax liabilities and assets of the same tax jurisdiction or a tax filing group, as well as any related valuation allowance, be offset and presented as a single noncurrent amount in a classified balance sheet.  At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had $2.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively, in deferred tax assets, which were previously classified as a current asset on our condensed consolidated balance sheet and, under the new standard, have been classified as a reduction from net non-current deferred income tax liability.  The ASU has been applied to the Company’s financial statements retrospectively.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under this ASU, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-03 during the first quarter of the year ended December 31, 2016.  Accordingly, at December 31, 2015, the Company $15.0 million in unamortized debt issuance costs, which were previously classified as other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet and, under the new standard, have been classified as a deduction from debt consistent with the current period’s presentation. There has been no effect on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income due to the adoption of the ASU. The ASU has been applied to the Company’s financial statements retrospectively.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, “Customers' Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement” ("ASU 2015-05"). ASU 2015-05 will help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement by providing guidance as to whether an arrangement includes the sale or license of software. ASU 2015-05 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted the new standard in FY 2016 which did not have a material impact to our financial statements.

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which is the new comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, this guidance was updated, which defers the effective date by one year and permits early adoption for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016.  This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017.  Companies will have the option of using either a full retrospective approach or a modified approach to adopt the guidance in the ASU. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

In January 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, includes amendments on recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments.  It requires an entity to (1) measure equity investments at fair value through net income, with certain exceptions; (2) present in OCI the changes in instrument-specific credit risk for financial liabilities measured using the fair value option; (3) present financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset; (4) calculate the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes based on an exit price; and (5) assess a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities in connection with other deferred tax assets.  The ASU provides an election to subsequently measure certain nonmarketable equity investments at cost less any impairment and adjusted for certain observable price changes.  The ASU also requires a qualitative impairment assessment of such equity investments and amends certain fair value disclosure requirements.  The ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017.  Certain provisions of the ASU are eligible for early adoption.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations.  The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical

30

expedients available.  We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-06, “Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments” which clarifies that determining whether the economic characteristics of a put or call are clearly and closely related to its debt host requires only an assessment of the four-step decision sequence outlined in FASB ASU paragraph 815-15-25-24.  Additionally, entities are not required to separately assess whether the contingency itself is clearly and closely related.  The ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted.  However, if the entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of that fiscal year.  The ASU requires a modified retrospective transition approach, with a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption.  For instruments that are eligible for the fair value option, an entity has a one-time option to irrevocably elect to measure the debt instrument affected by the ASU in its entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.  We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, “Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting”, which requires an investor to apply the equity method of accounting only from the date it qualifies for that method, i.e., the date the investor obtains significant influence over the operating and financial policies of an investee.  This ASU eliminates the previous requirement to retroactively adjust the investment and record a cumulative catch up for the periods that the investment had been held, but did not qualify for the equity method of accounting.  The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016.  This ASU should be applied prospectively upon its effective date to increases in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence that result in the application of the equity method.  Early adoption is permitted.  We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which introduces targeted amendments intended to simplify the accounting for stock compensation.  The ASU was issued as part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, and intends to improve the accounting for share-based payment transactions.  The ASU changes several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including: (1) Accounting and Cash Flow Classifications for Excess Tax Benefits and Deficiencies, (2) Forfeitures, and (3) Tax Withholding Requirements and Cash Flow Classifications.  The ASU is effective for public business entities in annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016.  Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period provided that the entire ASU is adopted.  If any entity early adopts the ASU in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period.  We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

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

Executive Summary. Iconix Brand Group is a brand management company and owner of a diversified portfolio of over 35 global consumer brands across women’s, men’s, entertainment and home industry segments. The Company’s business strategy is to maximize the value of its brands primarily through strategic licenses and joint venture partnerships around the world, as well as to grow the portfolio of brands through strategic acquisitions.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company’s brand portfolio includes Candie’s ^®, Bongo ^®, Joe Boxer  ^® , Rampage  ^® , Mudd  ^® , London Fog  ^® , Mossimo  ^® , Ocean Pacific/OP  ^® , Danskin /Danskin Now ^® , Rocawear  ^®  /Roc Nation  ^® , Artful Dodger  ^® , Cannon  ^® , Royal Velvet  ^® , Fieldcrest  ^® , Charisma  ^® , Starter  ^® , Waverly  ^® , Ecko Unltd  ^®  /Mark Ecko Cut & Sew ^® , Zoo York  ^® , Sharper Image  ^® , Umbro  ^®  , Lee Cooper  ^®  and Strawberry Shortcake  ^® ; and interests in Material Girl  ^® , Peanuts  ^® , Ed Hardy  ^® , Truth or Dare  ^® , Modern Amusement  ^® , Buffalo  ^® , Nick Graham  ^® , Hydraulic ^®  and Pony ^® .

The Company looks to monetize the Intellectual Property (herein referred to as “IP”) related to its brands throughout the world and in all relevant categories by licensing directly with leading retailers (herein referred to as “direct to retail” or “DTR”), through a consortia of wholesale licensees, through joint ventures in specific territories and via other activity such as corporate sponsorships and content as well as the sale of IP for specific categories or territories. Products bearing the Company’s brands are sold across a variety of distribution channels from the mass tier to the luxury market and, in the case of the Peanuts and Strawberry Shortcake brands, through various media outlets, including television, movies, digital and mobile content. The licensees are responsible for designing, manufacturing and distributing the licensed products. The Company supports its brands with marketing, advertising and promotional campaigns designed to increase brand awareness. Additionally, the Company provides its licensees with coordinated trend direction to enhance product appeal and help build and maintain brand integrity.  In the case of Peanuts and Strawberry Shortcake brands, we also provide content for licensed media categories.

Globally, the Company has over 50 DTR licenses and more than 1,700 total licenses.  Licensees are selected based upon the Company’s belief that such licensees will be able to produce and sell quality products in the categories and distribution channels of their specific expertise and that they are capable of exceeding minimum sales targets and royalties that the Company generally requires for each brand. This licensing strategy is designed to permit the Company to operate its licensing business, leverage its core competencies of marketing and brand management with minimal working capital, and without inventory, production or distribution costs or risks, and maintain high margins. The vast majority of the Company’s licensing agreements include minimum guaranteed royalty revenue which provides the Company with greater visibility into future cash flows.  As of July 1, 2016, the Company had over $850 million of aggregate guaranteed royalty revenue over the terms of the Company’s existing contracts excluding renewals.

A key initiative in the Company’s global brand expansion plans has been the formation of international joint ventures. The strategy in forming international joint ventures is to partner with best-in-class, local partners to bring the Company’s brands to market more quickly and efficiently, generating greater short- and long-term value from its IP, than the Company believes is possible if it were to build-out wholly-owned operations ourselves across a multitude of regional or local offices. Since September 2008, the Company has established the following international joint ventures: Iconix China, Iconix Latin America, Iconix Europe, Iconix India, Iconix Canada, Iconix Australia, Iconix Southeast Asia, Iconix Israel and Iconix Middle East.

The Company also plans to continue to build and maintain its brand portfolio by acquiring additional brands directly or through joint ventures. In assessing potential acquisitions or investments, the Company primarily evaluates the strength of the target brand as well as the expected viability and sustainability of future royalty streams. The Company believes that this focused approach allows it to effectively screen a wide pool of consumer brand candidates and other asset light businesses, strategically evaluate acquisition targets and complete due diligence for potential acquisitions efficiently.

The Company’s primary goal of maximizing the value of its IP also includes, in certain instances, the sale to third parties of a brand’s trademark in specific territories or categories.  As such, the Company evaluates potential offers to acquire some or all of a brand’s IP by comparing whether the offer is more valuable than the Company’s estimate of the current and potential revenue streams to be earned via the Company’s traditional licensing model.  Further, as part of the Company’s evaluation process, it also considers whether or not the buyer’s future development of the brand may help to expand the brand’s overall recognition and global revenue potential.

33

The Company identifies its operating segments according to how business activities are managed and evaluated. Prior to April 1, 2015, the Company had disclosed one reportable segment. Subsequently, the Company has reviewed its business activities, how they are managed and evaluated, and determined that it would, going forward, reflect five distinct reportable operating segments: men’s, women’s, home, entertainment and corporate. Therefore, the Company has disclosed these reportable segments for the periods shown below.

Results of Operations

Current Quarter compared to Prior Year Quarter

Licensing Revenue. Total licensing revenue for the Current Quarter was $95.7 million, a 2% decrease as compared to $97.4 million for the Prior Year Quarter. Total licensing revenue was negatively impacted primarily by approximately $1.5 million decrease due to the sale of the Badgley Mischka intellectual property and related assets and benefited from a $0.9 million favorable impact from foreign currency exchange rates primarily related to the Yen.  Excluding Badgley Mischka and the currency impact, revenue for the Current Quarter was down approximately 1% as compared to the Prior Year Quarter.  The entertainment segment increased 15% from $23.9 million in the Prior Year Quarter to $27.5 million in the Current Quarter mainly driven by a $3.4 million increase in our Peanuts Brand. The increase was a result of strength from our licensees in Japan and strength from our home video licensee. The women’s segment decreased 3% from $37.8 million in the Prior Year Quarter to $36.5 million in the Current Quarter due to the sale of the Badgley Mischka intellectual property and related assets. Excluding Badgley Mischka, the women’s segment was up 1% driven by strong performance across our Danskin Now brand at Walmart. The men’s segment decreased 16% from $26.2 million in the Prior Year Quarter to $22.1 million in the Current Quarter mainly due to a decrease in royalties earned by our Rocawear and Starter brands. The home segment was flat for the Current Quarter with $9.6 million in the Prior Year Quarter and $9.6 million in the Current Quarter.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Total selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) was $47.1 million for the Current Quarter as compared to $45.8 million for the Prior Year Quarter, an increase of $1.3 million or 3%. SG&A in the entertainment segment increased 10% from $16.2 million in the Prior Year Quarter to $17.8 million in the Current Quarter which was mainly due to increased agent and talent expenses as a result of higher revenues in the Current Quarter from the Peanuts and Strawberry Shortcake brands. SG&A from the women’s segment decreased 25% from $6.2 million in the Prior Year Quarter to $4.6 million in the Current Quarter mainly due to a $1.9 million decrease in compensation costs. SG&A from the men’s segment increased 24% from $7.3 million in the Prior Year Quarter to $9.1 million in the Current Quarter primarily due to a $0.7 million increase in advertising costs and a $0.6 million increase in compensation costs. SG&A from the home segment was relatively flat from $1.6 million in the Prior Year Quarter to $1.6 million in the Current Quarter.  Corporate SG&A decreased 3% from $14.5 million in the Prior Year Quarter to $14.0 million.  

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $1.0 million for the Current Quarter, compared to $1.2 million in the Prior Year Quarter.

Gain (loss) on Sale of Trademarks. Gain (loss) on Sale of Trademarks was a $1.1 million loss for the Current Quarter, compared to zero in the Prior Year Quarter. The decrease was mainly due to a loss of $1.9 million realized on the sale of the Ed Hardy brand in China, slightly offset by a gain on the sale of the London Fog brand in Korea.

34

Equity Earnings on Joint Ventures. Equity Earnings on Joint Ventures was $1.4 million in income in the Current Quarter, as compared to $1.5 million in income from the Prior Year Quarter. The MG Icon joint venture increased $0.2 million from stronger performance, while the Scion BBC joint venture decreased $0.3 million as a result of the sale of the interest in the Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream brand.  

Operating Income. Total operating income for the Current Quarter decreased to $47.8 million, or approximately 50% of total revenue, compared to approximately $51.8 million or approximately 53% of total revenue in the Prior Year Quarter. Operating income from the entertainment segment was $9.6 million in the Current Quarter compared to $7.5 million in the Prior Year Quarter. Operating income from the women’s segment was $32.5 million in the Current Quarter compared to $32.0 million in the Prior Year Quarter.

Operating income from the home segment was $8.1 million in the Current Quarter compared to $8.0 million in the Prior Year Quarter. Corporate operating loss was $15.9 million in the Current Quarter compared to operating loss of $14.5 million in the Prior Year Quarter.

Other Expenses-Net. Other expenses- net were approximately $23.0 million for the Current Quarter as compared to $21.3 million for the Prior Year Quarter, an increase of $1.7 million or 8%. The increase was primarily related to the following: (i) a $4.3 million gain on the extinguishment of debt related to the buybacks of our 2016 and 2018 convertible notes, of which there was no comparable gain in the Prior Year Quarter and, (ii) a $2.6 million increase in foreign currency translation gain, offset by a $7.0 million increase in interest expense primarily related to interest on the $300 million Senior Secured Term Loan.

Provision for Income Taxes. The effective income tax rate for the Current Quarter is approximately 31.1% resulting in a $7.7 million income tax expense, as compared to an effective income tax rate of 37.8% in the Prior Year Quarter which resulted in the $11.5 million income tax expense. The decrease in our effective tax rate primarily relates to a larger portion of our income in the Current Year Quarter being generated and permanently reinvested in countries outside the U.S. that have lower statutory rates than the U.S.

Net Income. Our net income was approximately $17.1 million in the Current Quarter, compared to net income of approximately $19.0 million in the Prior Year Quarter, as a result of the factors discussed above.

Current Six Months compared to Prior Six Months

Licensing Revenue. Total licensing revenue for the Current Six Months was $190.4 million, a 1% decrease as compared to $193.2 million for the Prior Year Six Months. Total licensing revenue was negatively impacted primarily by approximately $2.4 million decrease due to the sale of the Badgley Mischka intellectual property and related assets and benefited from a $0.9 million favorable impact from foreign currency exchange rates primarily related to the Yen.  Excluding Badgley Mischka and the currency impact, revenue for the Current Six Months was down approximately 1% as compared to the Prior Year Six Months.  The entertainment segment increased 16% from $47.0 million in the Prior Year Six Months to $54.5 million in the Current Six Months mainly driven by a $6.9 million increase in our Peanuts Brand. The increase was a result of strength from our licensees in Japan and strength from our home video licensee. The women’s segment decreased 2% from $76.1 million in the Prior Year Six Months to $74.5 million in the Current Six Months due to the sale of the Badgley Mischka intellectual property and related assets. Excluding Badgley Mischka, the women’s segment was up 1% driven by strong performance across our Danskin Now brand at Walmart. The men’s segment decreased 15% from $50.0 million in the Prior Year Six Months to $42.3 million in the Current Six Months mainly due to a decrease in royalties earned by our Rocawear and Starter brands. The home segment decreased 5% from $20.1 million in the Prior Year Six Months to $19.1 million in the Current Six Months mainly due to a decrease in licensing revenue from our Sharper Image brand.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Total selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) was $98.6 million for the Current Six Months as compared to $85.5 million for the Prior Year Six Months, an increase of $13.1 million or 15%. SG&A in the entertainment segment increased 18% from $31.3 million in the Prior Year Six Months to $36.8 million in the Current Six Months which was mainly due to increased agent and talent expenses as a result of higher revenues in the Current Six Months from the Peanuts and Strawberry Shortcake brands. SG&A from the women’s segment decreased 24% from $12.0 million in the Prior Year Six Months to $9.1 million in the Current Six Months mainly due to a $1.9 million decrease in compensation costs. SG&A from the men’s segment increased 15% from $15.4 million in the Prior Year Six Months to $17.7 million in the Current Six Months primarily due to a $1.7 million increase in accounts receivables reserves and write-offs. SG&A from the home segment decreased 15% from $3.4 million in the Prior Year Six Months to $2.9 million in the Current Six Months mainly due to a $0.2 million decrease in advertising costs.  Corporate SG&A increased 37% from $23.4 million in the Prior Year Six Months to $32.1 million in the Current Six Months primarily due to an increase of $2.6 million in fees and costs mostly related to the matters disclosed in Note 17 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as well as a $4.2 million increase in compensation costs primarily related to a $2.2 million of management transition costs.  

35

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $2.1 million for the Current Six Months, compared to $2.5 million in the Prior Year Six Months. The decrease was mainly due to $0.4 million lower amortization costs related to the Ecko brand.

Gain (loss) on Sale of Trademarks. Gain (loss) on Sale of Trademarks was $9.8 million for the Current Quarter, compared to zero in the Prior Year Quarter. The increase was mainly due to an $11.8 million gain realized on the sale of the Badgley Mischka intellectual property and related assets, slightly offset by a $1.9 million loss on the sale of the Ed Hardy brand in China.

Equity Earnings on Joint Ventures. Equity Earnings on Joint Ventures was $2.6 million in income in the Current Six Months, as compared to $2.7 million in income from the Prior Year Six Months. The MG Icon joint venture increased $0.4 million from stronger performance, while the Scion BBC joint venture decreased $0.5 million as a result of the sale of the interest in the Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream brand.

Other expenses- net were approximately $43.5 million for the Current Six Months as compared to other income, net of $19.0 million for the Prior Year Six Months, an increase of $62.5 million. The increase in other expenses-net was primarily related to the following: (i) a $50.0 million non-cash gain in the Prior Year Six Months related to the fair value re-measurement of our original 50% interest in Iconix China, of which there is no comparable income in the Current Six Months, (ii) a decrease of $7.9 million in foreign currency translation gain in the Current Six Months as compared to the Prior Year Six Months and, (iii) a $6.9 million increase in interest expense mostly related to interest on the $300 million Senior Secured Term Loan.

Net Income. Our net income was approximately $40.2 million in the Current Six Months, compared to net income of approximately $88.0 million in the Prior Year Six Months, as a result of the factors discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our principal capital requirements have been to fund acquisitions, working capital needs, share repurchases and, to a lesser extent, capital expenditures. We have historically relied on internally generated funds to finance our operations and our primary source of capital needs for acquisition has been the issuance of debt and equity securities. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our cash totaled $130.0 million and $169.9 million, respectively, not including short-term restricted cash of $84.8 million and $49.5 million, respectively.  Our short term restricted cash primarily consists of collection and investment accounts related to our Senior Secured Notes and our Senior Secured Term Loan.  In addition, as of June 30, 2016, approximately $63.3 million, or 29.5%, of our total cash (including restricted cash) was held in foreign subsidiaries.  Our investments in these foreign subsidiaries are considered indefinitely reinvested and unavailable for the payment of any U.S. based expenditures, including debt obligations.  Cash held in these foreign subsidiaries is otherwise considered unrestricted and available for use outside the U.S.

We believe that cash from future operations and our currently available cash and capacity for additional financings under our Senior Secured Notes facility (to the extent available) will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated working capital requirements for the foreseeable future, including early redemptions by our 1.50% Convertible Notes’ holders in the event circumstances allow for early redemptions. We intend to continue financing future brand acquisitions through a combination of cash from operations, bank financing and the issuance of additional equity and/or debt securities. See Note 6 of Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of certain prior financings consummated by us.

36

We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.  Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.  The amounts involved in any such transactions may, individually or in the aggregate, be material.  See Note 18 of Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for purchases of our outstanding debt subsequent to June 30, 2016.

Changes in Working Capital

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 the working capital ratio (current assets to current liabilities) was 2.35 to 1 and 2.52 to 1, respectively.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased approximately $36.6 million, from $95.3 million in the Prior Year Six Months to $58.7 million in the Current Six Months. The decrease in net income, after the exclusion of non-cash items, was approximately $11.0 million.  The change in the non-cash adjustments is primarily as a result of the non-cash gain of $50.0 million related to the fair value re-measurement of our original 50% interest in Iconix China in the Prior Year Six Months.  These non-cash adjustments are offset by cash used in working capital items of $9.5 million in the Current Six Months as compared to cash used in working capital items of $16.1 million in the Prior Year Six Months.  

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities increased approximately $189.4 million, from cash used in investing activities of $153.8 million in the Prior Year Six Months to cash provided by investing activities of $35.5 million in the Current Six Months. The increase period over period is primarily due to (i) proceeds from sale of the Company’s interest in the BBC and Ice Cream brands for $3.5 million in cash, (ii) proceeds from sale of the Badgley Mischka intellectual property and related assets for $14.0 million in cash, (iii) proceeds from the note due from American Greetings of $2.5 million and proceeds from the note due from Buffalo International of $4.1 million, and (iv) proceeds from the sale of Ed Hardy China for $11.4 million in cash versus the Prior Year Six Months cash used for  (i) our purchase of the Strawberry Shortcake brand for $95 million in cash, (ii) our purchase of the remaining 50% interest in Iconix China for $20.4 million in cash, and (iii) our purchase of a 75% interest in the Pony brand for $37.0 million in cash.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities increased approximately $183.3 million, from cash provided by financing activities of $47.9 million in the Prior Year Six Months to cash used in financing activities of $135.4 million in the Current Six Months. The increase in cash used in financing activities period over period is due to the repurchase of a portion of our convertible notes for $161.1 million in cash as well as the repayment of long term debt of $190.4 million in the Current Six Months (mainly due to the payment of the remaining outstanding principal balance on our 2.50% Convertible Notes of $158.0 million) as compared to repayment of long term debt of $30.6 million in the Prior Six Months.  This increase of cash used in financing activities is offset by the proceeds of $100.0 million from our Variable Funding Notes received in the Prior Year Six Months as compared to the proceeds of $300.0 million from our Senior Secured Term Loan as well as cash used of $35.8 million for the prepaid financing costs associated with the Company’s new debt arrangement during the Current Six Months.

Other Matters

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are based on the accounting policies used. Certain accounting polices require that estimates and assumptions be made by management for use in the preparation of the financial statements. Critical accounting policies are those that are central to the presentation of the Company’s financial condition and results and that require subjective or complex estimates by management. There have been no material changes with respect to the Company’s critical accounting policies from those disclosed in its 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2016, as amended.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 16 of the notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement for recent accounting pronouncements.

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The statements that are not historical facts contained in this report are forward looking statements that involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict and many of which are beyond our control, which may cause our actual

37

results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. These risks are detailed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and other SEC filings. The words “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “confident,” “project,” “provide,” “guidance” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We limit exposure to foreign currency fluctuations by requiring the majority of our licenses to be denominated in U.S. dollars. Certain other licenses are denominated in Japanese Yen and the Euro. To mitigate interest rate risks, we have, from time to time, purchased derivative financial instruments such as forward contracts to convert certain portions of our revenue and cash received in foreign currencies to fixed exchange rates. If there were an adverse change in the exchange rate from Japanese Yen to U.S. dollars or the Euro to U.S. dollars of less than 10%, the expected effect on net income would be immaterial.

Moreover, in connection with the warrant transactions with the counterparties related to our 2.50% Convertible Notes and our 1.50% Convertible Notes, to the extent that the price of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants, the warrant transactions could have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share. The effect, if any, of these transactions and activities on the trading price of our common stock will depend in part on market conditions and cannot be ascertained at this time, but any of these activities could adversely affect the value of our common stock.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, herein referred to as the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. The purpose of disclosure controls is to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In 2015, weaknesses were identified in certain of the Company’s review controls, which have been enumerated in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

As a result of this, the interim principal executive officer and current principal financial and accounting officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. This conclusion was described in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.  As discussed below, the Company is addressing the material weaknesses identified in 2015 and is in the process of improving its controls to remediate these material weaknesses.

Notwithstanding the material weakness discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2015 and the adjustments discussed above, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  

The principal executive officer and principal financial officer also conducted an evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, herein referred to as internal control, to determine whether any changes in internal control occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2016 that may have materially affected or which are reasonably likely to materially affect internal control. Based on that evaluation, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control during the six months ended June 30, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control, except for the matters discussed below.

Addressing the Material Weaknesses

We are in the process of improving our controls to remediate the material weaknesses that existed as of December 31, 2015.  In 2016, the current senior management team is dedicated to continuing its initiative to implement and document policies, procedures, and internal controls, for the purpose of strengthening the internal control environment.  This is also being performed with Audit Committee oversight. Remediation actions include the following:

· Hired a new President (February 2016) who became the Chief Executive Officer in April 2016, and a new Chief Financial Officer (July 2015); each of whom has taken an active role in closely monitoring the Company’s policies and internal controls.

· When the new President became Chief Executive Officer in April 2016, the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Board Chairman were separated.

· Hired a Director of Internal Audit, a Vice President of Tax and a Director of Financial Reporting in 2016. All individuals are Certified Public Accountants. The Director of Internal Audit reports directly to the Audit Committee.

· Retained a third party international accounting firm to assist with internal audit activities at the direction of our Director of Internal Audit.

· In the process of reorganizing the Accounting department and hiring additional accounting employees to enhance the control environment.

· Addressed internal control weaknesses identified by the Special Committee, external auditors, and the senior management team. In certain areas, internal controls were in place but not documented. Accordingly, in the third and fourth quarters of 2015, and the first and second quarters of 2016, the Company formally documented processes and internal controls in key financial reporting areas, including the review of license agreements, cash disbursements, account reconciliations/analysis, journal entries and review of financial statements. Where applicable, these processes and internal controls were complimented with the development and implementation of use of forms and documents.

· A formal process for the identification of related party transactions was developed which included a list of related parties/affiliated entities, and  respective internal controls for confirming the accuracy of the list on a go-forward basis was developed in the first and second quarter of 2016.

· In 2015, the Company formed a “Disclosure Committee” and implemented a “sub-certification process”, the purpose of which is to review all regulatory filings to help ensure the completeness and accuracy of disclosures.

· The Company’s current Code of Conduct is being updated to be more explicit regarding the importance of business personnel communicating information to the Chief Financial Officer and the General Counsel. In addition, the Code of Conduct is being updated to be more explicit requiring that all material terms and conditions of all business or financial transactions, licenses, joint ventures, agreements, commitments or other arrangements involving the Company must be in writing.

· Established annual training for all Independent Directors, management and key non-management personnel around the Code of Conduct and other company policies. Annual certifications of compliance with the Code of Conduct and other company policies will be required.

We will test the ongoing operating effectiveness of the new and existing controls in future periods. The material weaknesses cannot be considered completely addressed until the applicable additional controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

The foregoing has been approved by our management, including our current Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who have been involved with the reassessment and analysis of our internal control over financial reporting.

The Audit Committee, which consists of independent, non-executive directors, will continue to meet regularly with management, the Director of Internal Audit, and the independent accountants to review accounting, reporting, auditing and internal control matters. The Audit Committee has direct and private access to the Director of Internal Audit and the external auditors, and will meet with each, separately, in executive sessions. The Company reviewed the results of management’s assessment of its internal control over financial reporting with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and they agreed with the conclusions.

PART II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

In July 2013, Signature Apparel Group LLC, referred to as the Debtor, filed an amended complaint in an adversary proceeding captioned Signature Apparel Group LLC v. ROC Fashions, LLC, et al., Adv. Pro. No. 11-02800 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York that, among others, named Studio IP Holdings LLC, referred to as Studio IP, and the Company (Studio IP and the Company are collectively referred to as Iconix), as defendants.  In the amended complaint, the Debtor asserts that Iconix was complicit in an alleged conspiracy to pay $2.8 million to Debtor’s principals.  The Debtor also alleges that ROC Fashions LLC paid a $6 million fee to Iconix for a license, and asserts that those funds should be returned to the Debtor as well.  In total, the Debtor is seeking at least $8.8 million in damages from Iconix. Iconix vigorously defended against the claims, and the trial on this matter concluded in March 2016.  The Company is currently awaiting the Bankruptcy Court’s determination on the matter and is unable to estimate its ultimate outcome.  

In December 2015, Anthony L&S, LLC, referred to as ALS, the licensee of the Pony and related trademarks, commenced an action captioned Anthony L&S, LLC v. US Pony Holdings, LLC and Iconix Brand Group, Inc., Index No. 654199/2015 in New York State Supreme Court, New York County against the Company and its subsidiary, US Pony Holdings, LLC, referred to as Pony, seeking damages of $30 million, plus punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and costs.  ALS alleges that Pony breached the parties’ license agreement by failing to comply with its marketing obligations.  ALS also alleges that Pony and the Company are liable for fraud because Pony and the Company made purported misstatements about their marketing intentions/efforts.  The Company and Pony are vigorously defending against the claims.  At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the ultimate outcome of this legal matter.

In January 2016, ALS’s affiliate, Anthony L&S Athletics, LLC, referred to as Anthony Athletics, commenced an action captioned Anthony L&S Athletics, LLC v. US Pony Holdings, LLC and Iconix Brand Group, Inc., Case No. 11867 in the Chancery Court in the State of Delaware against the Company and Pony.  Based primarily on the same allegations as in the New York action, Anthony Athletics, the Company’s joint venture partner in Pony, seeks a judicial dissolution of Pony, as well as $30 million in damages resulting from the Company’s purported breach of the Pony operating agreement and the failure to market the brands. The Company and Pony are vigorously defending against the claims.  At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the ultimate outcome of this legal matter.

In April 2016, New Rise Brands Holdings, LLC, referred to as New Rise, a former licensee of the Ecko Unlimited trademark, and Sichuan New Rise Import & Export Co. Ltd., referred to as Sichuan, the guarantor under New Rise’s license agreement, commenced an action captioned New Rise Brands Holdings, LLC and Sichuan New Rise Import & Export Co. Ltd v. IP Holdings, LLC, et al., Index No. 652278/2016 in the New York State Supreme Court, New York County against the Company’s subsidiary, IP Holdings, LLC, referred to as IP Holdings, seeking damages of $15 million, plus punitive damages of $50 million, attorneys’ fees and costs.  Among other claims, New Rise alleges improper termination of New Rise’s license agreement and fraud.  IP Holdings is vigorously defending against the claims and has asserted counterclaims against New Rise and Sichuan.  At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the ultimate outcome of this legal matter.

Two shareholder derivative complaints are pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York captioned James v. Cuneo et al, Docket No. 1:16-cv-02212 and Ruthazer v. Cuneo et al, Docket No. 1:16-cv-04208, and two shareholder derivative complaints are pending in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York captioned De Filippis v. Cuneo et al. Index No. 650711/2016 and Gold v. Cole et al, Index No. 53724/2016.  The complaints name the Company as a nominal defendant and assert claims for breach of fiduciary duty, insider trading and unjust enrichment against certain of the Company's current and former directors and officers arising out of the Company's recent restatement of financial reports and certain employee departures.  An additional shareholder derivative complaint captioned Rosenfeld v. Cuneo et al., Index No. 510427/2016 is pending in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Kings County.  The complaint names the Company as a nominal defendant and asserts similar claims against certain of the Company’s current and former directors and officers as noted in connection with the shareholder derivative complaints described above.  At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the ultimate outcome of these legal matters. 

As previously announced, the Company has received a formal order of investigation from the SEC. The Company intends to continue to cooperate fully with the SEC.

Three securities class actions, respectively captioned Lazaro v. Iconix Brand Group, Inc. et al., Docket No. 1:15-cv-04981-PGG,  Niksich v. Iconix Brand Group, Inc. et al. , Docket No. 1:15-cv-04860-PGG and  Haverhill Retirement System v. Iconix Brand Group, Inc. et al  Docket No. 1:15 – cv 06658, have been consolidated in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and certain former officers and one current officer (each, a “Class Action” and, together, the “Class Actions”). The plaintiffs in the Class Actions purport to represent a class of purchasers of the Company’s securities from February 22, 2012 to November 5, 2015, inclusive, and claim that the Company and individual defendants violated sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, by making allegedly false and misleading statements regarding certain aspects of the Company’s business operations and prospects.  The Company and the individual defendants have moved to dismiss the consolidated amended

40

complaint and intend to vigorously defend against the claims.  At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the ultimate outcome of this legal matter.

From time to time, we are made a party to litigation incurred in the normal course of business. In addition, in connection with litigation commenced against licensees for non-payment of royalties, certain licensees have asserted unsubstantiated counterclaims against the Company.  While any litigation has an element of uncertainty, we believe that the final outcome of any of these routine matters will not have a material effect on our financial position or future liquidity.

See Note 9 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to the risk factors disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as amended, set forth below are certain factors that have affected, and in the future could affect, our operations or financial condition. We operate in a changing environment that involves numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could impact our operations. The risks described below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as amended, are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our financial condition and/or operating results.

Our existing and future debt obligations could impair our liquidity and financial condition, and in the event we are unable to meet our debt obligations we could lose title to certain trademarks.

As of June 30, 2016, our consolidated balance sheet reflects debt of approximately $1,351.3 million (which is net of $23.9 million of debt issuance costs), including secured debt of $1,055.9 million under our Senior Secured Notes, Variable Funding Notes and Senior Secured Term Loan. In accordance with ASC 470, our 1.50% Convertible Notes are included in our $1,351.3 million of consolidated debt at a net debt carrying value of $319.3 million; however, the principal amount owed to the holders of our 1.50% Convertible Notes is $348.3 million (due March 2018). In addition, in March 2016, we entered into the Credit Agreement pursuant to which the lenders thereto are providing us a Senior Secured Term Loan which is scheduled to mature in 2021, the net cash proceeds of which were used to satisfy the Company’s outstanding obligations under the 2.50% Convertible Notes. We may also assume or incur additional debt, including secured debt, in the future in connection with, or to fund, future acquisitions or refinance our existing debt obligations. Our debt obligations:

· could impair our liquidity;

· could make it more difficult for us to satisfy our other obligations;

· require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to payments on our debt obligations, which reduces the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate requirements;

· could impede us from obtaining additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate purposes;

· impose restrictions on us with respect to the use of our available cash, including in connection with future acquisitions;

· make us more vulnerable in the event of a downturn in our business prospects and could limit our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our licensing markets; and

· could place us at a competitive disadvantage when compared to our competitors who have less debt and/or less leverage.

In addition, as of June 30, 2016, approximately $63.3 million, or 29.5%, of our total cash (including restricted cash) was held in foreign subsidiaries. Our investments in these foreign subsidiaries are considered indefinitely reinvested and unavailable for the payment of any U.S. based expenditures, including debt obligations. Any repatriation of cash from these foreign subsidiaries may require the accrual and payment of U.S. federal and certain state taxes, which could negatively impact our results of operations and/or the amount of available funds. While we currently have no intention to repatriate cash from these subsidiaries, should the need arise domestically, there is no guarantee that we could do so without adverse consequences.

While we believe that by virtue of the cash on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2016, the proceeds of the Senior Secured Term Loan, and the guaranteed minimum and percentage royalty payments due to us under our licenses, we will generate sufficient revenue from our licensing operations to satisfy our obligations for the foreseeable future. In the event that we were to fail in the future to make any required payment under agreements governing our indebtedness or fail to comply with the financial and operating covenants contained in those agreements, we would be in default regarding that indebtedness. A debt default could significantly diminish the market value and marketability of our common stock and could result in the acceleration of the payment obligations under all or a portion of our consolidated indebtedness.

41

A substantial portion of our licensing revenue is concentrated with a limited number of licensees, such that the loss of any of such licensees or their renewal on terms less favorable than today, could slow our growth plans, decrease our revenue and impair our cash flows.

Our licenses with Wal-Mart, Target, Kohl’s and Kmart/Sears represent, each in the aggregate, our four largest direct-to-retail licensees during the Current Six Months, representing approximately 17%, 9%, 6% and 5%, respectively, of our total revenue for such period. Because we are dependent on these licensees for a significant portion of our licensing revenue, if any of them were to have financial difficulties affecting their ability to make payments, cease operations, or if any of these licensees decides not to renew or extend any existing agreement with us, or to significantly reduce its sales of licensed products under any of the agreement(s), our revenue and cash flows could be reduced substantially.

Alternatively, we may face increasing competition in the future for direct-to-retail licenses as other companies owning established brands may decide to enter into licensing arrangements with retailers similar to those we currently have in place. Furthermore, our current or potential direct-to-retail licensees may decide to more prominently promote and market competing brands, or develop or purchase other brands, rather than continue their licensing arrangements with us. In addition, increased competition could result in lower sales of products offered by our direct-to-retail licensees under our brands. If our competition for retail licenses increases, it may take us longer to procure additional retail licenses.

We have a material amount of goodwill and other intangible assets, including our trademarks, recorded on our balance sheet. As a result of changes in market conditions and declines in the estimated fair value of these assets, we may, in the future, be required to write down a portion of this goodwill and other intangible assets and such write-down would, as applicable, either decrease our net income or increase our net loss.

As of June 30, 2016, goodwill represented approximately $257.1 million, or approximately 10.4% of our total consolidated assets, and trademarks and other intangible assets represented approximately $1,698.2 million, or approximately 68.9% of our total consolidated assets. Under current U.S. GAAP accounting standards, goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets, including some of our trademarks, are no longer amortized, but instead are subject to impairment evaluation based on related estimated fair values, with such testing to be done at least annually.

Based on the results of the Company’s annual impairment testing during the fourth quarter for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company had determined that certain intangible assets related to the men’s segment and home segment were impaired.  As a result, the Company incurred a non-cash impairment charge related to the write-down of its Rocawear, Ecko Unltd/Marc Ecko Cut & Sew, Ed Hardy, Royal Velvet, Artful Dodger, Nick Graham, Hydraulic and Cannon trademarks aggregating approximately $402.4 million, as well as a write-down of goodwill related to the Company’s men’s segment in the amount of $35.1 million.

There can be no assurance that any future downturn in the business of any of the Company’s segments will not result in a further write-down of goodwill or trademarks, which would either decrease the Company’s net income or increase the Company’s net loss, which may or may not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

Recent and ongoing developments relating to the United Kingdom’s referendum vote in favor of leaving the European Union could adversely affect us or our licensees.

The United Kingdom held a referendum on June 23, 2016 in which voters approved the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union, commonly known as “Brexit.” As a result, negotiations are expected to commence to determine the terms of the United Kingdom exit from the European Union as well as its relationship with the European Union going forward. The economic effects of Brexit have been and are expected to continue to be far-reaching, particularly once the negotiation process begins. Although less than 10% of our licensing revenue is generated in the United Kingdom, Brexit and the perceptions as to its impact may adversely affect business activity and economic conditions in Europe and globally and could continue to contribute to instability in global financial and foreign exchange markets. We currently hold equity interests in Iconix Europe, our London-based joint venture, as well as Iconix MENA LTD and Diamond Icon, LLC, our joint ventures which were established under the laws of the United Kingdom. In addition, we have license agreements in place with licensees across many of our brands in the United Kingdom; maintain a wholly-owned subsidiary established under the laws of the United Kingdom; and have employees, offices and showroom space in the United Kingdom related to our Umbro and Lee Cooper brands. The impact of Brexit on the foregoing aspects of our business are unknown at this time.  Brexit could have the effect of disrupting the free movement of goods, services and people between the United Kingdom and the European Union and negatively impact our business and that of our licensees. The full effects of Brexit are uncertain and will depend on any agreements the United Kingdom may make to retain access to European Union markets. Brexit also could lead to uncertainty with respect to the United Kingdom legal and regulatory framework and the enforcement of our legal and intellectual property rights. In addition, as a result of Brexit, other European countries may seek to conduct referenda with respect to their continuing membership with the European Union, creating greater uncertainly in the region. Given these possibilities and others we

42

may not anticipate, as well as the lack of comparable precedent, the full extent to which our business, licensees, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected by Brexit is uncertain.

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [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 Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management of Iconix Brand Group, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months (“Current Quarter”) and the six months (“Current Six Months”) ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.  The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as amended.

During the Current Six Months, the Company adopted five new accounting pronouncements.  Refer to Note 16 for further details.

Certain reclassifications, which were immaterial, have been made to conform prior year data to the current presentation.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Non-controlling Interests / Redeemable Non-controlling Interests

Certain of the Company’s consolidated joint ventures have put options which, if exercised by the Company’s joint venture partner, would require the Company to purchase all or a portion of the joint venture partner’s equity interest in the joint venture.  The Company has determined that these put options are not derivatives under the guidelines prescribed in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815. As such, and in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, as the potential exercise of the put options is outside the control of the Company, the Company has recorded the portion of the non-controlling interest’s equity that may be put to the Company in mezzanine equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as “redeemable non-controlling interest”.  The initial value of the redeemable non-controlling interest represents the fair value of the put option at inception.  This amount recorded at inception is accreted, over a period determined by when the put option becomes exercisable, to what the Company would be obligated to pay to the non-controlling interest holder if the put option was exercised. This accretion is recorded as a credit to redeemable non-controlling interest and a debit to retained earnings resulting in an impact to the consolidated balance sheet only.  For each reporting period, the Company revisits the estimates used to determine the redemption value of the put option when it becomes exercisable and may adjust the remaining put option value and associated accretion accordingly through redeemable non-controlling interest and retained earnings, as necessary.  The terms of each of the outstanding put options are included in the individual discussions of each joint venture, as applicable.  For the Company’s consolidated joint ventures that do not have put options, the non-controlling interest is recorded within equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

The Company may enter into joint venture agreements with joint venture partners in which the Company allows the joint venture partner to pay a portion of the purchase price in cash at the time of the formation of the joint venture with the remaining cash consideration paid over a specified period of time following the closing of such transaction.  The Company records the amounts due from such joint venture partners as (a) a reduction of Non-controlling Interests, net of installment payments, or (b) if installment payments result from the issuance of shares classified as mezzanine equity, as a reduction in Redeemable Non-controlling Interests, net of installment payments (i.e. mezzanine equity), as applicable, in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet accordance with ASC 505-10-45, “Classification of a Receivable from a Shareholder.” The Company accretes the present value discount on these installment payments through interest income on its consolidated statements of operations.  

Refer to the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2016, as amended, for the Company’s other significant accounting policies.

SEC Comment Letter Process

As disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company has been engaged in a comment letter process with the Staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission relating to an ongoing review of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.  The Company has responded to the Staff with a Confirming Letter on the questions the Staff raised, and remains in a dialogue with the SEC Staff relating to those and certain other comments related to the Company’s future disclosures.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

5. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASC 820”), establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurement. While ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements in its application to other accounting pronouncements, it does emphasize that a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 established the following fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs):

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets

Level 2: Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or market-corroborated inputs

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which requires the owner of the assets or liabilities to develop its own assumptions about how market participants would price these assets or liabilities

The valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

(A) Market approach - Uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities

(B) Income approach - Uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts, including present value techniques, option-pricing models and excess earnings method

(C) Cost approach - Based on the amount that would currently be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost)

To determine the fair value of certain financial instruments, the Company relies on Level 2 inputs generated by market transactions of similar instruments where available, and Level 3 inputs using an income approach when Level 1 and Level 2 inputs are not available. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of financial assets and financial liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

Hedge Instruments

From time to time, the Company may purchase hedge instruments to mitigate income statement risk and cash flow risk of revenue and receivables. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had no hedge instruments other than the 1.50% Convertible Note Hedges (see Note 6).

Financial Instruments

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the fair values of cash, receivables and accounts payable approximated their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of notes receivable and notes payable from and to our joint venture partners approximate their carrying values. The fair value of our cost method investments is not readily determinable and it is not practical to obtain the information needed to determine the value. However, there has been no indication of an impairment of these cost method investments as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The estimated fair values of other financial instruments subject to fair value disclosures, determined based on Level One inputs including broker quotes or quoted market prices or rates for the same or similar instruments and the related carrying amounts are as follows:

	June 30, 2016				December 31, 2015
	CarryingAmount		Fair Value		CarryingAmount		Fair Value
Long-term debt, including current portion(1)	$	1,351,262	$	1,315,926	$	1,449,392	$	1,240,244

⁽¹⁾ Carrying amounts include aggregate unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs.

Additionally, the fair value of the available-for-sale securities acquired as part of the 2015 Buy-out of Iconix China (refer to Note 3 for further details) were $1.7 million and $3.9 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, with the change in fair value of $2.2 million recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet during the Current Six Months.

Financial instruments expose the Company to counterparty credit risk for nonperformance and to market risk for changes in interest. The Company manages exposure to counterparty credit risk through specific minimum credit standards, diversification of counterparties and procedures to monitor the amount of credit exposure. The Company’s financial instrument counterparties are investment or commercial banks with significant experience with such instruments as well as certain of our joint venture partners – see Note 3.

Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company accounts for non-recurring adjustments to the fair values of its non-financial assets and liabilities under ASC 820 using a market participant approach. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model with Level 3 inputs to measure the fair value of its non-financial assets and liabilities. The Company also adopted the provisions of ASC 820 as it relates to purchase accounting for its acquisitions. The Company has goodwill, which is tested for impairment at least annually, as required by ASC 350- “Intangibles- Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). Further, in accordance with ASC 350, the Company’s indefinite-lived trademarks are tested for impairment at least annually, on an individual basis as separate single units of accounting. Similarly, consistent with ASC 360- “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”), as it relates to accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, the Company assesses whether or not there is impairment of the Company’s definite-lived trademarks. There was no impairment, and therefore no write-down, of any of the Company’s long-lived assets during the Current Six Months and Prior Year Six Months.

Senior Secured Notes and Variable Funding Note

On November 29, 2012, Icon Brand Holdings, Icon DE Intermediate Holdings LLC, Icon DE Holdings LLC and Icon NY Holdings LLC, each a limited-purpose, bankruptcy remote, wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company, (collectively, the “Co-Issuers”) issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of Series 2012-1 4.229% Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2 (the “2012 Senior Secured Notes”) in an offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Simultaneously with the issuance of the 2012 Senior Secured Notes, the Co-Issuers also entered into a revolving financing facility of Series 2012-1 Variable Funding Senior Notes, Class A-1 (the “Variable Funding Notes”), which allows for the funding of up to $100 million of Variable Funding Notes and certain other credit instruments, including letters of credit. The Variable Funding Notes were issued under the Indenture and allow for drawings on a revolving basis. Interest on the Variable Funding Notes will be payable at per annum rates equal to the CP Rate, Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate, as defined in the Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement.

In February 2015, the Company received $100.0 million proceeds from the Variable Funding Notes. There is a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Variable Funding Notes facility of 0.5% per annum. It is anticipated that any outstanding principal of and interest on the Variable Funding Notes will be repaid in full on or prior to January 2018. Following the anticipated repayment date, additional interest will accrue on the Variable Funding Notes equal to 5% per annum. The Variable Funding Notes and other credit instruments issued under the Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement are secured by the collateral described below.

On June 21, 2013, the Co-Issuers issued $275.0 million aggregate principal amount of Series 2013-1 4.352% Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2 (the “2013 Senior Secured Notes” and, together with the 2012 Senior Secured Notes, the “Senior Secured Notes”) in an offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Senior Secured Notes and the Variable Funding Notes are referred to collectively as the “Notes.” The Notes were issued in securitization transactions pursuant to which substantially all of Iconix’s United States and Canadian revenue-generating assets (the “Securitized Assets”), consisting principally of its intellectual property and license agreements for the use of its intellectual property, were transferred to and are currently held by the Co-Issuers. The Securitized Assets do not include revenue generating assets of (x) the Iconix subsidiaries that own the Ecko Unltd trademarks, the Mark Ecko trademarks, the Umbro trademarks, the Lee Cooper trademarks, or the Strawberry Shortcake trademarks, (y) the Iconix subsidiaries that own assets relating to Iconix’s other brands outside of the United States and Canada or (z) the joint ventures in which Iconix and certain of its subsidiaries have investments and which own the Artful Dodger trademarks, the Modern Amusement trademarks and the Buffalo trademarks, the Pony trademarks, the Nicholas Graham trademarks or the Hydraulic trademarks.

While the Notes are outstanding, payments of interest are required to be made on the Senior Secured Notes on a quarterly basis. To the extent funds are available, principal payments in the amount of $10.5 million and $4.8 million are required to be made on the 2012 Senior Secured Notes and 2013 Senior Secured Notes, respectively, on a quarterly basis.

The legal final maturity date of the Senior Secured Notes is in January of 2043, but it is anticipated that, unless earlier prepaid to the extent permitted under the Indenture, the Senior Secured Notes will be repaid in January of 2020.

Pursuant to the Indenture, the Notes are the joint and several obligations of the Co-Issuers only.

Neither the Company nor any subsidiary of the Company, other than the Securitization Entities, will guarantee or in any way be liable for the obligations of the Co-Issuers under the Indenture or the Notes.

The Notes are subject to a series of covenants and restrictions customary for transactions of this type, including (i) that the Co-Issuers maintain specified reserve accounts to be used to make required payments in respect of the Notes, (ii) provisions relating to optional and mandatory prepayments, including mandatory prepayments in the event of a change of control (as defined in the supplemental indentures) and the related payment of specified amounts, including specified make-whole payments in the case of the Senior Secured Notes under certain circumstances, (iii) certain indemnification payments in the event, among other things, the transfers of the assets pledged as collateral for the Notes are in stated ways defective or ineffective and (iv) covenants relating to recordkeeping, access to information and similar matters. The Company has been compliant with all covenants under the Notes from inception through the Current Quarter.

The Notes are also subject to customary rapid amortization events provided for in the Indenture, including events tied to (i) the failure to maintain a stated debt service coverage ratio, which tests the amount of net cash flow generated by the assets of the Co-Issuers against the amount of debt service obligations of the Co-Issuers (including any commitment fees and letter of credit fees with respect to the Variable Funding Notes, due and payable accrued interest, and due and payable scheduled principal payments on the Senior Secured Notes), (ii) certain manager termination events, (iii) the occurrence of an event of default and (iv) the failure to repay or refinance the Notes on the anticipated repayment date. If a rapid amortization event were to occur, Icon DE Intermediate Holdings LLC and Icon Brand Holdings LLC would be restricted from declaring or paying distributions on any of its limited liability company interests.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the total principal balance of the Notes was $782.3 million and $812.9 million, respectively, of which $61.1 million was included in the current portion of long-term debt on the Company’s (unaudited for June 30, 2016) condensed consolidated balance sheet for each period. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $56.6 million and $48.7 million, respectively, is included in restricted cash on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and represents short-term restricted cash consisting of collections on behalf of the Securitized Assets, restricted to the payment of principal, interest and other fees on a quarterly basis under the Senior Secured Notes.

For each of the Current Quarter and Prior Year Quarter, cash interest expense relating to the Notes was approximately $8.5 million and $8.9 million, respectively.

For each of the Current Six Months and Prior Year Six Months, cash interest expense relating to the Notes was approximately $17.1 million and $17.2 million, respectively.

1.50% Convertible Notes

On March 18, 2013, the Company completed the issuance of $400.0 million principal amount of the Company’s 1.50% convertible senior subordinated notes due March 15, 2018 (“1.50% Convertible Notes”) in a private offering to certain institutional investors. The net proceeds received by the Company from the offering, excluding the net cost of hedges and sale of warrants (described below) and including transaction fees, were approximately $390.6 million.

The 1.50% Convertible Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 1.50%, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2013. However, the Company recognizes an effective interest rate of 6.50% on the carrying amount of the 1.50% Convertible Notes. The effective rate is based on the rate for a similar instrument that does not have a conversion feature. The 1.50% Convertible Notes will be convertible into cash and, if applicable, shares of the Company’s common stock based on a conversion rate of 32.4052 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to customary adjustments, per $1,000 principal amount of the 1.50% Convertible Notes (which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $30.86 per share) only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 2017 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the closing price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on and including the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is more than 130% of the conversion price per share, which is $1,000 divided by the then applicable conversion rate; (2) during the five consecutive business day period immediately following any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the 1.50% Convertible Notes for each day of that period was less than 98% of the product of (a) the closing price of the Company’s common stock for each day in that period and (b) the conversion rate per $1,000 principal amount of the 1.50% Convertible Notes; (3) if specified distributions to holders of the Company’s common stock are made, as set forth in the indenture governing the 1.50% Convertible Notes (“1.50% Indenture”); (4) if a “change of control” or other “fundamental change,” each as defined in the 1.50% Indenture, occurs; and (5) during the 90 day period prior to maturity of the 1.50% Convertible Notes. If the holders of the 1.50% Convertible Notes exercise the conversion provisions under the circumstances set forth, the Company will need to remit the lower of the principal balance of the 1.50% Convertible Notes or their conversion value to the holders in cash. As such, the Company would be required to classify the entire amount outstanding of the 1.50% Convertible Notes as a current liability in the following quarter. The evaluation of the classification of amounts outstanding associated with the 1.50% Convertible Notes will occur every quarter.

Upon conversion, a holder will receive an amount in cash equal to the lesser of (a) the principal amount of the 1.50% Convertible Note or (b) the conversion value, determined in the manner set forth in the 1.50% Indenture. If the conversion value exceeds the principal amount of the 1.50% Convertible Notes on the conversion date, the Company will also deliver, at its election, cash or the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and the Company’s common stock for the conversion value in excess of the principal amount. In the event of a change of control or other fundamental change, the holders of the 1.50% Convertible Notes may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their 1.50% Convertible Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 1.50% Convertible Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.  Holders of the 1.50% Convertible Notes who convert their 1.50% Convertible Notes in connection with a fundamental change may be entitled to a make-whole premium in the form of an increase in the conversion rate.

Pursuant to guidance issued under ASC 815- “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”), the 1.50% Convertible Notes are accounted for as convertible debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the embedded conversion option in the 1.50% Convertible Notes has not been accounted for as a separate derivative. For a discussion of the effects of the 1.50% Convertible Notes and the 1.50% Convertible Notes Hedges and Sold Warrants defined and discussed below on earnings per share, see Note 6.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the amount of the 1.50% Convertible Notes accounted for as a liability was approximately $319.3 million and $357.5 million, respectively, and is reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows:

	June 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
Equity component carrying amount	$	49,784	$	49,931
Unamortized discount		29,014		42,547
Net debt carrying amount		319,256		357,453

In June 2016, the Company repurchased $51.7 million par value of the 1.50% Convertible Notes with a combination of $17.8 million in cash (including interest and trading fees) and the issuance of approximately 3.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Company accounted for this transaction in accordance with ASC 470-20 resulting in the recognition of a $5.5 million gain which is included in gain on extinguishment of debt, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income for the Current Quarter and Current Six Months and a reacquisition of approximately $0.1 million of the embedded conversion option recorded within additional paid in capital on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016.  

For the Current Quarter and Prior Year Quarter, the Company recorded additional non-cash interest expense of approximately $4.2 million and $3.9 million, respectively, representing the difference between the stated interest rate on the 1.50% Convertible Notes and the rate for a similar instrument that does not have a conversion feature.

For the Current Six Months and Prior Year Six Months, the Company recorded additional non-cash interest expense of approximately $8.0 million and $7.7 million, respectively, representing the difference between the stated interest rate on the 1.50% Convertible Notes and the rate for a similar instrument that does not have a conversion feature.

For each of the Current Quarter and Prior Year Quarter, cash interest expense relating to the 1.50% Convertible Notes was approximately $1.5 million.

For each of the Current Six Months and Prior Year Six Months, cash interest expense relating to the 1.50% Convertible Notes was approximately $3.0 million.

The 1.50% Convertible Notes do not provide for any financial covenants.

In connection with the sale of the 1.50% Convertible Notes, the Company entered into hedges for the 1.50% Convertible Notes (“1.50% Convertible Note Hedges”) with respect to its common stock with one entity (the “1.50% Counterparty”). Pursuant to the agreements governing these 1.50% Convertible Note Hedges, the Company purchased call options (the “1.50% Purchased Call Options”) from the 1.50% Counterparty covering up to approximately 13.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock. These 1.50% Convertible Note Hedges are designed to offset the Company’s exposure to potential dilution upon conversion of the 1.50% Convertible Notes in the event that the market value per share of the Company’s common stock at the time of exercise is greater than the strike price of the 1.50% Purchased Call Options (which strike price corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 1.50% Convertible Notes and is simultaneously subject to certain customary adjustments). On March 13, 2013, the Company paid an aggregate amount of approximately $84.1 million of the proceeds from the sale of the 1.50% Convertible Notes for the 1.50% Purchased Call Options, of which $29.4 million was included in the balance of deferred income tax assets at March 13, 2013 and is being recognized over the term of the 1.50% Convertible Notes. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the balance of deferred income tax assets related to this transaction was approximately $9.1 million and $13.0 million, respectively.

The Company also entered into separate warrant transactions with the 1.50% Counterparty whereby the Company, pursuant to the agreements governing these warrant transactions, sold to the 1.50% Counterparty warrants (the “1.50% Sold Warrants”) to acquire up to approximately 13.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a strike price of $35.5173 per share. The 1.50% Sold Warrants will become exercisable on June 18, 2018 and will expire by September 1, 2018. The Company received aggregate proceeds of approximately $57.7 million from the sale of the 1.50% Sold Warrants on March 13, 2013.

Pursuant to guidance issued under ASC 815 as it relates to accounting for derivative financial instruments indexed to, and potentially settled in, a company’s own stock, the 1.50% Convertible Note Hedge and the proceeds received from the issuance of the 1.50% Sold Warrants were recorded as a charge and an increase, respectively, in additional paid-in capital in stockholders’ equity as separate equity transactions. As a result of these transactions, the Company recorded a net increase to additional paid-in-capital of $3.0 million in March 2013.

The Company has evaluated the impact of adopting guidance issued under ASC 815 regarding embedded features as it relates to the 1.50% Sold Warrants, and has determined it had no impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position through June 30, 2016, and will have no impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position in future fiscal periods.

As the 1.50% Convertible Note Hedge transactions and the warrant transactions were separate transactions entered into by the Company with the 1.50% Counterparty, they are not part of the terms of the 1.50% Convertible Notes and will not affect the holders’ rights under the 1.50% Convertible Notes. In addition, holders of the 1.50% Convertible Notes will not have any rights with respect to the 1.50% Purchased Call Options or the 1.50% Sold Warrants.

If the market value per share of the Company’s common stock at the time of conversion of the 1.50% Convertible Notes is above the strike price of the 1.50% Purchased Call Options, the 1.50% Purchased Call Options entitle the Company to receive from the 1.50% Counterparties net shares of the Company’s common stock, cash or a combination of shares of the Company’s common stock and cash, depending on the consideration paid on the underlying 1.50% Convertible Notes, based on the excess of the then current market price of the Company’s common stock over the strike price of the 1.50% Purchased Call Options. Additionally, if the market price of the Company’s common stock at the time of exercise of the 1.50% Sold Warrants exceeds the strike price of the 1.50% Sold Warrants, the Company will owe the 1.50% Counterparty net shares of the Company’s common stock or cash, not offset by the 1.50% Purchased Call Options, in an amount based on the excess of the then current market price of the Company’s common stock over the strike price of the 1.50% Sold Warrants.

These transactions will generally have the effect of increasing the conversion price of the 1.50% Convertible Notes to $35.5173 per share of the Company’s common stock, representing a 52.5% percent premium based on the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock of $23.29 per share on March 12, 2013.

Moreover, in connection with the warrant transactions with the 1.50% Counterparty, to the extent that the price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the strike price of the 1.50% Sold Warrants, the warrant transactions could have a dilutive effect on the Company’s earnings per share.

2.50% Convertible Notes

On May 23, 2011, the Company completed the issuance of $300.0 million principal amount of the Company’s 2.50% convertible senior subordinated notes due June 2016 (“2.50% Convertible Notes”) in a private offering to certain institutional investors. The net proceeds received by the Company from the offering, excluding the net cost of hedges and sale of warrants (described below) and including transaction fees, were approximately $291.6 million.

Pursuant to guidance issued under ASC 815, the 2.50% Convertible Notes are accounted for as convertible debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the embedded conversion option in the 2.50% Convertible Notes has not been accounted for as a separate derivative. For a discussion of the effects of the 2.50% Convertible Notes and the 2.50% Convertible Notes Hedges and Sold Warrants defined and discussed below on earnings per share, see Note 8.

In April 2016, the Company repurchased $143.9 million par value of the 2.50% Convertible Notes for $145.6 million in cash (including interest and trading fees).  The Company accounted for this transaction in accordance with ASC 470-20, resulting in the recognition of a $1.2 million loss which is included in gain on extinguishment of debt, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income for the Current Six Months.  The remaining outstanding balance of the 2.50% Convertible Notes, in an amount equal to $156.1 million, was repaid on June 1, 2016 (the maturity date).

For the Current Quarter and Prior Year Quarter, the Company recorded additional non-cash interest expense of approximately $1.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively, representing the difference between the stated interest rate on the 2.50% Convertible Notes and the rate for a similar instrument that does not have a conversion feature.

For the Current Six Months and Prior Year Six Months, the Company recorded additional non-cash interest expense of approximately $4.5 million and $6.1 million, respectively, representing the difference between the stated interest rate on the 2.50% Convertible Notes and the rate for a similar instrument that does not have a conversion feature.

For the Current Quarter and Prior Year Quarter, cash interest expense relating to the 2.50% Convertible Notes was approximately $1.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

For the Current Six Months and Prior Year Six Months, cash interest expense relating to the 2.50% Convertible Notes was approximately $3.0 million and $3.8 million, respectively.

In connection with the sale of the 2.50% Convertible Notes, the Company entered into hedges for the 2.50% Convertible Notes (“2.50% Convertible Note Hedges”) with respect to its common stock with two entities (the “2.50% Counterparties”). Pursuant to the agreements governing these 2.50% Convertible Note Hedges, the Company purchased call options (the “2.50% Purchased Call Options”) from the 2.50% Counterparties covering up to approximately 9.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock. These 2.50% Convertible Note Hedges were designed to offset the Company’s exposure to potential dilution upon conversion of the 2.50% Convertible Notes in the event that the market value per share of the Company’s common stock at the time of exercise was greater than the strike price of the 2.50% Purchased Call Options (which strike price corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2.50% Convertible Notes and is simultaneously subject to certain customary adjustments). On May 23, 2011, the Company paid an aggregate amount of approximately $58.7 million of the proceeds from the sale of the 2.50% Convertible Notes for the 2.50% Purchased Call Options, of which $20.6 million was included in the balance of deferred income tax assets at May 23, 2011 and was recognized over the term of the 2.50% Convertible Notes. As of June 30, 2016, the balance of deferred income tax assets related to this transaction was zero.

Senior Secured Term Loan

On March 7, 2016, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), among IBG Borrower LLC, the Company’s wholly-owned direct subsidiary, as borrower (“IBG Borrower”), the Company and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of IBG Borrower, as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (“Cortland”) and the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”), including CF ICX LLC and Fortress Credit Co LLC (“Fortress”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders are providing to IBG Borrower a senior secured term loan (the “Senior Secured Term Loan”), scheduled to mature on March 7, 2021, in an aggregate principal amount of $300 million and bearing interest at LIBOR (with a floor of 1.50%) plus an applicable margin of 10% per annum.

The net cash proceeds of the Senior Secured Term Loan, which were approximately $264.2 million (after deducting financing, investment banking and legal fees), were, pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, deposited by the Lenders into an escrow account on April 4, 2016. IBG Borrower deposited into the escrow account certain additional funds, so that the total amount of cash on deposit in the escrow account was sufficient to pay all outstanding obligations, plus accrued interest, under the Company’s 2.50% Convertible Notes due June 2016.  In accordance with the terms of the Senior Secured Term Loan, the funds in the escrow account were used to repay the 2.50% Convertible Notes (see above discussion on repayment of the 2.50% Convertible Notes) on or before their maturity, with any remaining funds going toward general corporate purposes permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Senior Secured Term Loan amortize yearly at 5% of principal as long as the applicable asset coverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, remains greater than or equal to 1.65:1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter and IBG Borrower timely delivers a compliance certificate to Cortland after each fiscal quarter. If IBG Borrower’s asset coverage ratio measured as of the end of a certain fiscal quarter is 1.25:1.00 or greater but less than 1.45:1.00, or 1.45:1.00 or greater but less than 1.65:1.00, IBG Borrower will be obligated to pay during the subsequent quarter amortization at 25% per annum, or 15% per annum, respectively. IBG Borrower will also pay amortization at 25% per annum if it fails to timely deliver a compliance certificate to Cortland after each fiscal quarter.

IBG Borrower’s obligations under the Senior Secured Term Loan are guaranteed jointly and severally by the Company and the other Guarantors pursuant to a separate facility guaranty. IBG Borrower’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under the Senior Secured Term Loan are secured by first priority liens on and security interests in substantially all assets of IBG Borrower, the Company and the other Guarantors and a pledge of substantially all equity interests of the Company’s subsidiaries (subject to certain limits including with respect to foreign subsidiaries) owned by the Company, IBG Borrower or any other Guarantor. However, the security interests do not cover certain intellectual property and licenses associated with the exploitation of the Company’s Umbro^® brand in Greater China, those owned, directly or indirectly by the Company’s subsidiary Iconix Luxembourg Holdings SÀRL or those subject to the Company’s securitization facility. In addition, the pledges exclude certain equity interests of Complex Media, Inc., Marcy Media Holdings, LLC, and the subsidiaries of Iconix China Holdings Limited.

In connection with the Credit Agreement, IBG Borrower, the Company and the other Guarantors have made customary representations and warranties. In addition to adhering with certain customary affirmative covenants, IBG Borrower established a lock-box account, and IBG Borrower, the Company and the other Guarantors entered into account control agreements on certain deposit accounts. The Credit Agreement also mandates that IBG Borrower, the Company and the other Guarantors maintain and allow appraisals of their intellectual property, perform under the terms of certain licenses and other agreements scheduled in the Credit Agreement and report significant changes to or terminations of licenses generating guaranteed minimum royalties of more than $5 million. IBG Borrower must satisfy a minimum asset coverage ratio of 1.25:1.00 and maintain a leverage ratio of no greater than 4.50:1.00.  The Company has been compliant with all covenants under the Senior Secured Term Loan from inception through the Current Quarter.

In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary negative covenants and events of default. The Credit Agreement limits the ability of IBG Borrower, the Company and the other Guarantors, with respect to themselves, their subsidiaries and certain joint ventures, from, among other things, incurring and prepaying certain indebtedness, granting liens on certain assets, consummating certain types of acquisitions, making fundamental changes (including mergers and consolidations), engaging in substantially different lines of business than those in which they are currently engaged, making restricted payments and amending or terminating certain licenses scheduled in the Credit Agreement. Such restrictions, failure to comply with which may result in an event of default under the terms of the Credit Agreement, are subject to certain customary and specifically negotiated exceptions, as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

If an event of default occurs, in addition to the Interest Rate increasing by an additional 3% per annum Cortland shall, at the request of Lenders holding more than 50% of the then-outstanding principal of the Senior Secured Term Loan, declare payable all unpaid principal and accrued interest and take action to enforce payment in favor of the Lenders. An event of default includes, among other events, a change of control by which a person or group becomes the beneficial owner of 35% of the voting stock of the Company or IBG Borrower or a majority of the board of the Company or IBG Borrower changes during a set period. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, both voluntary and mandatory prepayments will trigger a make whole premium plus 3% of the aggregate principal amount during the first two years of the loan, and will carry a premium of 3% of the aggregate principal amount during the third year of the loan and 1% during the fourth year of the loan, with no premiums payable in subsequent periods.

The Company recorded cash interest expense of approximately $8.3 million relating to the Senior Secured Term Loan for the Current Quarter and Current Six Months as compared to none for the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Year Six Months.

As of June 30, 2016, $13.3 million and $500.0 million remained available for repurchase under the July 2013 Program and February 2014 Program, respectively.

2009 Equity Incentive Plan

On August 13, 2009, the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (“2009 Plan”). The 2009 Plan authorizes the granting of common stock options or other stock-based awards covering up to 3.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock. All employees, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company, including those of the Company’s subsidiaries, are eligible to be granted non-qualified stock options and other stock-based awards (as defined) under the 2009 Plan, and employees are also eligible to be granted incentive stock options (as defined) under the 2009 Plan. No new awards may be granted under the Plan after August 13, 2019.

On August 15, 2012, the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s Amended and Restated 2009 Plan (“Amended and Restated 2009 Plan”), which, among other items and matters, increased the shares available under the 2009 Plan by an additional 4.0 million shares to a total of 7.0 million shares issuable under the Amended and Restated 2009 Plan and extended the 2009 Plan termination date through August 15, 2022.

2015 Executive Incentive Plan

On December 4, 2015, the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s 2015 Executive Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”).  Under the 2015 Plan, the Company’s officers and other key employees designated by the Compensation Committee are eligible to receive awards of cash, common stock or stock units issuable under the Amended and Restated 2009 Plan, or any other combination thereof, awards under the 2015 Plan are based on the achievement of certain pre-determined, non-discretionary performance goals established by the Compensation Committee and are further subject, among other things, the 2015 Plan participant’s continuous employment with the Company until the applicable payment date.

Shares Reserved for Issuance

At June 30, 2016, there were 519,180 common shares available for issuance under the Amended and Restated 2009 Plan and, there were no common shares available for issuance under any previous Company plan.

Stock Options and Warrants

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

There was no compensation expense related to stock option grants or warrant grants during the Current Quarter or Prior Year Quarter as all prior awards have been fully expensed.

Summaries of the Company’s stock options, warrants (other than warrants issued related to our 1.50% Convertible Notes and 2.50% Convertible Notes) and performance related options activity, and related information for the Current Six Months are as follows:

Options	Options			WeightedAverage Exercise Price
Outstanding at January 1, 2016		50,000		$	17.18

Outstanding at June 30, 2016		20,000	$	6.64
Exercisable at June 30, 2016		20,000	$	6.64

The weighted average contractual term (in years) of options outstanding and exercisable and warrants outstanding and exercisable as of June 30, 2016 was 1.86 and 2.26, respectively.

All warrants issued in connection with acquisitions are recorded at fair market value using the Black Scholes model and are recorded as part of purchase accounting. Certain warrants are exercised using the cashless method.

Restricted stock

Compensation cost for restricted stock is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company’s stock at the date the common stock is issued over the amount the employee must pay to acquire the stock (which is generally zero). The compensation cost, net of projected forfeitures, is recognized over the period between the issue date and the date any restrictions lapse, with compensation cost for grants with a graded vesting schedule recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in substance, multiple awards. The restrictions do not affect voting and dividend rights.

The following table summarize information about unvested restricted stock transactions:

	Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested, January 1, 2016		2,222,508		$	20.06
Granted		2,003,110			5.24
Vested		(120,528	)		17.54
Forfeited/Canceled		(144,987	)		7.06
Non-vested, June 30, 2016		3,960,103		$	13.12

The Company has awarded time-based restricted shares of common stock to certain employees. The awards have restriction periods tied to employment and vest over a maximum period of approximately 3 years. The cost of the time-based restricted stock awards, which is the fair market value on the date of grant net of estimated forfeitures, is expensed ratably over the vesting period. The Company has also awarded performance-based restricted shares of common stock to certain employees. The awards have restriction periods tied to certain performance measures. The cost of the performance-based restricted stock awards, which is the fair market value on the date of grant net of estimated forfeitures, is expensed when the likelihood of those shares being earned is deemed probable.

Compensation expense related to restricted stock grants for the Current Quarter and Prior Year Quarter was approximately $1.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively.  Compensation expense related to restricted stock grants for the Current Six Months and Prior Year Six Months was approximately $3.5 million (including approximately $1.0 million related to retention stock discussed below) and $5.9 million, respectively.  Excluding the compensation expense related to the performance-based restricted stock awards which are tied to achievement of certain performance metrics of the Company, an additional amount of $9.6 million of expense related to time-based restricted shares is expected to be expensed evenly over a period of approximately three years.  During the Current Quarter and Prior Year Quarter, the Company repurchased shares valued at $0.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of its common stock in connection with net share settlement of restricted stock grants and option exercises.  During the Current Six Months and Prior Year Six Months, the Company repurchased shares valued at $0.5 million and $14.6 million, respectively, of its common stock in connection with net share settlement of restricted stock grants and option exercises.    

Retention Stock

On January 7, 2016, the Company awarded to certain employees a retention stock grant of approximately 1.3 million shares with a then current value of approximately $7.5 million.  The awards cliff vest in three years based on the Company’s total shareholder return measured against a peer group as described in the Company’s Form 10-K/A filed on April 29, 2016.  The measurement period began on the grant date and the beginning measurement amount was calculated based on the 20 day average closing stock price leading up to the grant date.  The measurement period ends on December 31, 2018 and the ending measurement amount is based on the 20 day average closing stock price leading up to December 31, 2018.  The award will vest on a scaled pay out based on the Company’s total shareholder return versus the peer group.  

In accordance with ASC 718, the Company valued these shares utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation as the awards are based on market conditions.  Key assumptions utilized in the valuation methodology were stock price at the beginning and end of the period, risk free interest rate, expected dividend yield when simulating total shareholder return, expected dividend yield when simulating the Company’s stock price, stock price volatility, and correlation coefficients.  

Short-term Shareholder Rights Plan

On January 27, 2016, the Company announced that its Board of Directors adopted a short-term shareholder rights plan (the “Rights Plan”), which will expire following the 2016 annual meeting of shareholders, absent an extension being approved by shareholders.  The Board of Directors adopted the Rights Plan in light of activity in the Company’s shares occurring prior to the adoption of the Rights Plan, including the accumulation of meaningful positions by holders of derivatives securities, and what the Iconix Board of Directors and management believes is a currently depressed share price for the Company’s common stock.

Pursuant to the Rights Plan, one preferred stock purchase right will be distributed for each share of common stock held by shareholders of record on February 12, 2016.  The rights will become exercisable only if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the Company’s common stock (including in the form of synthetic ownership through derivative positions).  In that situation, each holder of a right (other than, as defined in the Rights Plan, the person or group triggering the rights) will be entitled to purchase, at the then-current exercise price (which was initially set at $30 per right), shares of common stock (and, in certain circumstances, other consideration) having a value of twice the exercise price of the right (a 50% discount).  Rights held by any person or group whose actions trigger the Rights Plan, including potentially counterparties to derivative transactions with such person or group, would become void.  The Rights Plan had no impact on the Company’s financial reporting for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and will not impact any future periods.  

Long-Term Incentive Compensation.

On March 31, 2016, the Company approved a new plan for long-term incentive compensation (the “2016 LTIP”) for key employees and granted equity awards under the 2016 LTIP in the aggregate amount of 796,803 shares with a then current value of approximately $6.4 million. For each grantee other than Mr. Haugh, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, 33% of the award was in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 67% of the award was in the form of target level performance stock units (“PSUs”).  Mr. Haugh’s award under the 2016 LTIP consisted of 25% RSUs and 75% PSUs. The RSUs for each grantee vest in three equal installments annually over a three-year period. Other than for Mr. Haugh, the PSUs cliff vest over three years based on the achievement of operating income performance targets established by the Compensation Committee.  One-third of Mr. Haugh’s PSUs shall be converted to time-based awards on December 31, 2016, December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018, based on the achievement of operating income performance targets established by the Compensation Committee, and such time-based awards shall vest and be settled on December 31, 2018.  To the extent there are not enough shares of common stock to be issued under the Company’s 2009 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, or a new stockholder approved equity incentive plan is not approved to satisfy the obligations under the 2016 LTIP, grantees of awards made pursuant to the 2016 LTIP shall be entitled to cash in an amount equal to any shortfall for such shares based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of vesting.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

8. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the effect of restricted stock-based awards, common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants and shares underlying convertible notes potentially issuable upon conversion. The difference between basic and diluted weighted-average common shares results from the assumption that all dilutive stock options outstanding were exercised and all convertible notes have been converted into common stock.

For the Current Quarter, of the total potentially dilutive shares related to restricted stock-based awards, stock options and warrants, approximately 0.1 million were anti-dilutive, as compared to less than 0.2 million shares that were anti-dilutive for the Prior Year Quarter.  

For each of the Current Quarter and Prior Year Quarter, none of the performance related restricted stock-based awards issued to the Company’s named executive officers were anti-dilutive.  

For the Current Quarter and Current Six Months, warrants issued in connection with the Company’s 1.50% Convertible Notes financing and 2.50% Convertible Notes financing were anti-dilutive and therefore were not included in this calculation. For the Prior Year Quarter and the Prior Year Six Months, warrants issued in connection with the Company’s 1.50% Convertible Notes financing and 2.50% Convertible Notes financing were dilutive and therefore were included in this calculation.  

A reconciliation of weighted average shares used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share follows:

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				For the Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2016		2015		2016		2015
Basic		49,035		48,243		48,772		48,201
Effect of exercise of stock options		3		82		2		91
Effect of assumed vesting of restricted stock		1,637		1,270		1,727		1,286
Effect of convertible notes subject to conversion		—		—		—		1,174
Diluted		50,675		49,595		50,501		50,752

In accordance with ASC 480, the Company considers its redeemable non-controlling interest in its computation of earnings per share.  For each of the Current Quarter, Prior Year Quarter, Current Six Months and Prior Year Six Months, the Company’s redeemable non-controlling interest had no impact on the Company’s earnings per share calculation.

See Note 6 for discussion of hedges related to our convertible notes.

In July 2013, Signature Apparel Group LLC, referred to as the Debtor, filed an amended complaint in an adversary proceeding captioned Signature Apparel Group LLC v. ROC Fashions, LLC, et al., Adv. Pro. No. 11-02800 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York that, among others, named Studio IP Holdings LLC, referred to as Studio IP, and the Company (Studio IP and the Company are collectively referred to as Iconix), as defendants.  In the amended complaint, the Debtor asserts that Iconix was complicit in an alleged conspiracy to pay $2.8 million to Debtor’s principals.  The Debtor also alleges that ROC Fashions LLC paid a $6.0 million fee to Iconix for a license, and asserts that those funds should be returned to the Debtor as well.  In total, the Debtor is seeking at least $8.8 million in damages from Iconix. Iconix vigorously defended against the claims, and the trial on this matter concluded in March 2016.  The Company is currently awaiting the Bankruptcy Court’s determination on the matter and is unable to estimate its ultimate outcome.  

In December 2015, Anthony L&S, LLC, referred to as ALS, the licensee of the Pony and related trademarks, commenced an action captioned Anthony L&S, LLC v. US Pony Holdings, LLC and Iconix Brand Group, Inc., Index No. 654199/2015 in New York State Supreme Court, New York County against the Company and its subsidiary, US Pony Holdings, LLC, referred to as Pony, seeking damages of $30.0 million, plus punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and costs.  ALS alleges that Pony breached the parties’ license agreement by failing to comply with its marketing obligations.  ALS also alleges that Pony and the Company are liable for fraud because Pony and the Company made purported misstatements about their marketing intentions/efforts.  The Company and Pony are vigorously defending against the claims.  At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the ultimate outcome of this legal matter.

In January 2016, ALS’s affiliate, Anthony L&S Athletics, LLC, referred to as Anthony Athletics, commenced an action captioned Anthony L&S Athletics, LLC v. US Pony Holdings, LLC and Iconix Brand Group, Inc., Case No. 11867 in the Chancery Court in the State of Delaware against the Company and Pony.  Based primarily on the same allegations as in the New York action, Anthony Athletics, the Company’s joint venture partner in Pony, seeks a judicial dissolution of Pony, as well as $30.0 million in damages resulting from the Company’s purported breach of the Pony operating agreement and the failure to market the brands. The Company and Pony are vigorously defending against the claims.  At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the ultimate outcome of this legal matter.

In April 2016, New Rise Brands Holdings, LLC, referred to as New Rise, a former licensee of the Ecko Unlimited trademark, and Sichuan New Rise Import & Export Co. Ltd., referred to as Sichuan, the guarantor under New Rise’s license agreement, commenced an action captioned New Rise Brands Holdings, LLC and Sichuan New Rise Import & Export Co. Ltd v. IP Holdings, LLC, et al., Index No. 652278/2016 in the New York State Supreme Court, New York County against the Company’s subsidiary, IP Holdings, LLC, referred to as IP Holdings, seeking damages of $15 million, plus punitive damages of $50 million, attorneys’ fees and costs.  Among other claims, New Rise alleges improper termination of New Rise’s license agreement and fraud.  IP Holdings is vigorously defending against the claims and has asserted counterclaims against New Rise and Sichuan.  At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the ultimate outcome of this legal matter.

Two shareholder derivative complaints are pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York captioned James v. Cuneo et al, Docket No. 1:16-cv-02212 and Ruthazer v. Cuneo et al, Docket No. 1:16-cv-04208, and two shareholder derivative complaints are pending in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York captioned De Filippis v. Cuneo et al. Index No. 650711/2016 and Gold v. Cole et al, Index No. 53724/2016.  The complaints name the Company as a nominal defendant and assert claims for breach of fiduciary duty, insider trading and unjust enrichment against certain of the Company's current and former directors and officers arising out of the Company's recent restatement of financial reports and certain employee departures.  An additional shareholder derivative complaint captioned Rosenfeld v. Cuneo et al., Index No. 510427/2016 is pending in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Kings County.  The complaint names the Company as a nominal defendant and asserts similar claims against certain of the Company’s current and former directors and officers as noted in connection with the shareholder derivative complaints described above.  At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the ultimate outcome of these legal matters. 

As previously announced, the Company has received a formal order of investigation from the SEC. The Company intends to continue to cooperate fully with the SEC.

Three securities class actions, respectively captioned Lazaro v. Iconix Brand Group, Inc. et al., Docket No. 1:15-cv-04981-PGG,  Niksich v. Iconix Brand Group, Inc. et al. , Docket No. 1:15-cv-04860-PGG and  Haverhill Retirement System v. Iconix Brand Group, Inc. et al  Docket No. 1:15 – cv 06658, have been consolidated in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and certain former officers and one current officer (each, a “Class Action” and, together, the “Class Actions”). The plaintiffs in the Class Actions purport to represent a class of purchasers of the Company’s securities from February 22, 2012 to November 5, 2015, inclusive, and claim that the Company and individual defendants violated sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, by making allegedly false and misleading statements regarding certain aspects of the Company’s business operations and prospects.  The Company and the individual defendants have moved to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint and intend to vigorously defend against the claims.  At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the ultimate outcome of this legal matter.

From time to time, the Company is also made a party to litigation incurred in the normal course of business. In addition, in connection with litigation commenced against licensees for non-payment of royalties, certain licensees have asserted unsubstantiated counterclaims against the Company.  While any litigation has an element of uncertainty, the Company believes that the final outcome of any of these routine matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or future liquidity.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

11. Income Taxes

The Company computes its expected annual effective income tax rates in accordance with ASC 740 and makes changes on a quarterly basis as necessary based on certain factors such as changes in forecasted annual pre-tax income; changes to actual or forecasted permanent book to tax differences; impacts from future tax audits with state, federal or foreign tax authorities; impacts from tax law changes; or change in judgment as to the realizability of deferred tax assets. The Company identifies items which are not normal and are non-recurring in nature and treats these as discrete events. The tax effect of discrete items is recorded in the quarter in which the discrete events occur. Due to the volatility of these factors, the Company's consolidated effective income tax rate can change significantly on a quarterly basis.

With the exception of the Buffalo brand joint venture, Iconix Canada joint venture, and Iconix Middle East joint venture, the Company is not responsible for the income taxes related to the non-controlling interest’s share of the joint venture’s earnings.  Therefore, the tax liability associated with the non-controlling interest share of the joint venture’s earnings is not reported in the Company’s income tax expense, despite the joint venture’s entire income being consolidated in the Company’s reported income before income tax expense.  As such, the joint venture’s earnings have the effect of lowering our effective tax rate.  This effect is more pronounced in periods in which joint venture earnings are higher relative to our other earnings.  Since the Buffalo brand joint venture and the Iconix Canada joint venture are taxable entities in Canada, and the Iconix Middle East joint venture is a taxable entity in the United Kingdom, the Company is required to report its tax liability, including taxes attributable to the non-controlling interest, in its statement of operations.  All other consolidated joint ventures are partnerships and treated as pass-through entities not subject to taxation in their local tax jurisdiction, and therefore the Company includes only the tax attributable to its proportionate share of income from the joint venture in income tax expense.

The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S., various state and local, and foreign jurisdictions. The Company, joined by its domestic subsidiaries, files a consolidated income tax return for Federal income tax purposes.  In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination in such domestic and foreign jurisdictions. The Company recognized interest expense related to uncertain tax positions of less than $0.1 million in the Current Quarter as compared to none during the Prior Year Quarter.  The Company recognized interest expense related to uncertain tax positions of approximately $0.2 million in the Current Six Months as compared to none during the Prior Year Six Months.  The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

The Company’s consolidated effective tax rate was 31.1% and 37.8% for the Current Quarter and Prior Year Quarter, respectively. The Company’s consolidated effective tax rate was 31.3% and 30.6% for the Current Six Months and Prior Year Six Months, respectively.

During the first quarter of the year ending December 31, 2016, the Company early adopted the guidance under ASU 2015-17, on a retrospective basis, concerning simplified presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current in a classified balance sheet. Adoption of this guidance resulted in reclassification of our net current deferred tax assets of approximately $2.4 million to the net non-current deferred tax liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of each June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Management believes that an adequate provision has been made for any adjustments that may result from tax examinations; however, the outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty. If any issues addressed in the Company's tax audits are resolved in a manner not consistent with management's expectations, the Company could be required to adjust its provision for income tax in the period such resolution occurs.

12. Segment and Geographic Data

The Company identifies its operating segments according to how business activities are managed and evaluated. Prior to April 1, 2015, the Company had disclosed one reportable segment. Following such quarter, the Company has reviewed its business activities, how they are managed and evaluated, and determined that it would reflect five distinct reportable operating segments: men’s, women’s, home, entertainment and corporate. Therefore, the Company has disclosed these reportable segments for the periods shown below. Since the Company does not track, manage and analyze its assets by segments, no disclosure of segmented assets is reported.

The geographic regions consist of the United States, Japan and Other (which principally represent Latin America and Europe). Revenues attributable to each region are based on the location in which licensees are located and where they principally do business.

15. Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of Iconix Luxembourg and Red Diamond Holdings which are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, located in Luxembourg, is the Euro.  However the companies have certain dollar denominated assets, in particular cash and notes receivable, that are maintained in U.S. Dollars, which are required to be revalued each quarter. Due to fluctuations in currency in the Current Quarter and the Prior Year Quarter, the Company recorded a $0.7 million currency translation gain and a $1.9 million currency translation loss, respectively, that is included in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Due to fluctuations in currency in the Current Six Months and the Prior Year Six Months, the Company recorded a $0.9 million currency translation gain and a $8.8 million currency translation gain, respectively, that is included in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Comprehensive income includes certain gains and losses that, under U.S. GAAP, are excluded from net income as such amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity. Our comprehensive income is primarily comprised of net income and foreign currency translation gain or loss. During the Current Quarter and the Prior Year Quarter, we recognized as a component of our comprehensive income, a foreign currency translation loss of $7.5 million and foreign currency translation gain of $7.1 million, respectively, due to changes in foreign exchange rates during the Current Quarter and the Prior Year Quarter, respectively.  During the Current Six Months and the Prior Year Six Months, we recognized as a component of our comprehensive income, a foreign currency translation gain of $5.0 million and foreign currency translation loss of $30.6 million, respectively, due to changes in foreign exchange rates during the Current Six Months and the Prior Year Six Months, respectively.  The foreign currency translation gain in the Current Six Months is primarily attributable to the Umbro and Lee Cooper trademarks in the Luxembourg territory.

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]

16. Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis”, which changes the way reporting enterprises evaluate whether (a) they should consolidate limited partnerships and similar entities, (b) fees paid to a decision maker or service provider are variable interests in a VIE, and (c) variable interest in a VIE held by related parties of the reporting enterprise require the reporting enterprise to consolidate the VIE.  The ASU also significantly changes how to evaluate voting rights for entities that are not similar to limited partnerships when determining when the entity is a VIE, which may affect entities for which the decision making rights are conveyed through a contractual arrangement.  This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years, including interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015.  Early adoption is allowed, including early adoption in an interim period.  A reporting enterprise may apply a modified retrospective approach or full retrospective application. The Company adopted the new standard in FY 2016 which did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments”, which relates to business combinations and requires adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period to be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined.  This includes any effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date.  In addition, the amendments require an entity to disclose (either on the face of the income statement or in the notes) the nature and amount of measurement-period adjustments recognized in the current period, including separately the amounts in current-period income statement line items that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date.  The ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015.  Early adoption is permitted.  The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively to measurement-period adjustments that occur after the effective date of this ASU.  The Company adopted the new standard in FY 2016 and had no impact on the presentation of our financial statements during the first quarter of the year ending December 31, 2016.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, which eliminates the guidance in ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, that required an entity to separate deferred tax liabilities and assets between current and noncurrent amounts in a classified balance sheet.  The amendments require that all deferred tax liabilities and assets of the same tax jurisdiction or a tax filing group, as well as any related valuation allowance, be offset and presented as a single noncurrent amount in a classified balance sheet.  At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had $2.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively, in deferred tax assets, which were previously classified as a current asset on our condensed consolidated balance sheet and, under the new standard, have been classified as a reduction from net non-current deferred income tax liability.  The ASU has been applied to the Company’s financial statements retrospectively.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under this ASU, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-03 during the first quarter of the year ended December 31, 2016.  Accordingly, at December 31, 2015, the Company $15.0 million in unamortized debt issuance costs, which were previously classified as other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet and, under the new standard, have been classified as a deduction from debt consistent with the current period’s presentation. There has been no effect on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income due to the adoption of the ASU. The ASU has been applied to the Company’s financial statements retrospectively.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, “Customers' Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement” ("ASU 2015-05"). ASU 2015-05 will help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement by providing guidance as to whether an arrangement includes the sale or license of software. ASU 2015-05 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted the new standard in FY 2016 which did not have a material impact to our financial statements.

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which is the new comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, this guidance was updated, which defers the effective date by one year and permits early adoption for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016.  This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017.  Companies will have the option of using either a full retrospective approach or a modified approach to adopt the guidance in the ASU. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

In January 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, includes amendments on recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments.  It requires an entity to (1) measure equity investments at fair value through net income, with certain exceptions; (2) present in OCI the changes in instrument-specific credit risk for financial liabilities measured using the fair value option; (3) present financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset; (4) calculate the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes based on an exit price; and (5) assess a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities in connection with other deferred tax assets.  The ASU provides an election to subsequently measure certain nonmarketable equity investments at cost less any impairment and adjusted for certain observable price changes.  The ASU also requires a qualitative impairment assessment of such equity investments and amends certain fair value disclosure requirements.  The ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017.  Certain provisions of the ASU are eligible for early adoption.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations.  The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available.  We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-06, “Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments” which clarifies that determining whether the economic characteristics of a put or call are clearly and closely related to its debt host requires only an assessment of the four-step decision sequence outlined in FASB ASU paragraph 815-15-25-24.  Additionally, entities are not required to separately assess whether the contingency itself is clearly and closely related.  The ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted.  However, if the entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of that fiscal year.  The ASU requires a modified retrospective transition approach, with a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption.  For instruments that are eligible for the fair value option, an entity has a one-time option to irrevocably elect to measure the debt instrument affected by the ASU in its entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.  We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, “Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting”, which requires an investor to apply the equity method of accounting only from the date it qualifies for that method, i.e., the date the investor obtains significant influence over the operating and financial policies of an investee.  This ASU eliminates the previous requirement to retroactively adjust the investment and record a cumulative catch up for the periods that the investment had been held, but did not qualify for the equity method of accounting.  The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016.  This ASU should be applied prospectively upon its effective date to increases in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence that result in the application of the equity method.  Early adoption is permitted.  We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which introduces targeted amendments intended to simplify the accounting for stock compensation.  The ASU was issued as part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, and intends to improve the accounting for share-based payment transactions.  The ASU changes several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including: (1) Accounting and Cash Flow Classifications for Excess Tax Benefits and Deficiencies, (2) Forfeitures, and (3) Tax Withholding Requirements and Cash Flow Classifications.  The ASU is effective for public business entities in annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016.  Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period provided that the entire ASU is adopted.  If any entity early adopts the ASU in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period.  We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Non-controlling Interests / Redeemable Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling Interests / Redeemable Non-controlling Interests

Certain of the Company’s consolidated joint ventures have put options which, if exercised by the Company’s joint venture partner, would require the Company to purchase all or a portion of the joint venture partner’s equity interest in the joint venture.  The Company has determined that these put options are not derivatives under the guidelines prescribed in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815. As such, and in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, as the potential exercise of the put options is outside the control of the Company, the Company has recorded the portion of the non-controlling interest’s equity that may be put to the Company in mezzanine equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as “redeemable non-controlling interest”.  The initial value of the redeemable non-controlling interest represents the fair value of the put option at inception.  This amount recorded at inception is accreted, over a period determined by when the put option becomes exercisable, to what the Company would be obligated to pay to the non-controlling interest holder if the put option was exercised. This accretion is recorded as a credit to redeemable non-controlling interest and a debit to retained earnings resulting in an impact to the consolidated balance sheet only.  For each reporting period, the Company revisits the estimates used to determine the redemption value of the put option when it becomes exercisable and may adjust the remaining put option value and associated accretion accordingly through redeemable non-controlling interest and retained earnings, as necessary.  The terms of each of the outstanding put options are included in the individual discussions of each joint venture, as applicable.  For the Company’s consolidated joint ventures that do not have put options, the non-controlling interest is recorded within equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

The Company may enter into joint venture agreements with joint venture partners in which the Company allows the joint venture partner to pay a portion of the purchase price in cash at the time of the formation of the joint venture with the remaining cash consideration paid over a specified period of time following the closing of such transaction.  The Company records the amounts due from such joint venture partners as (a) a reduction of Non-controlling Interests, net of installment payments, or (b) if installment payments result from the issuance of shares classified as mezzanine equity, as a reduction in Redeemable Non-controlling Interests, net of installment payments (i.e. mezzanine equity), as applicable, in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet accordance with ASC 505-10-45, “Classification of a Receivable from a Shareholder.” The Company accretes the present value discount on these installment payments through interest income on its consolidated statements of operations.  

Refer to the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2016, as amended, for the Company’s other significant accounting policies.
