Restructuring

In February 2016, the Company announced the implementation of a retail store fleet optimization and office consolidation that was intended to streamline brand operations, reduce overhead costs, create operating efficiencies and improve collaboration and included the closure of facilities and relocation of employees. The Company has begun to realign its brands across two groups: Fashion Lifestyle and Performance Lifestyle. The Fashion Lifestyle group will include the UGG and Koolaburra brands. The Performance Lifestyle group will include the Teva, Sanuk and Hoka brands. As part of this realignment, the Company also relocated its Sanuk brand operations in Irvine, California to the corporate headquarters in Goleta, California. In addition, the Company closed its Ahnu brand operations office in Richmond, California. Furthermore, the Company is in the process of evaluating its portfolio of retail stores. The Company has identified 24 retail stores that are candidates for potential closure. Subsequent to the sales of the MOZO and TSUBO brands, neither of which were material, the operating results for its other brands only include Hoka, Ahnu and Koolaburra. The Company plans to leverage elements, including particular styles, of the Ahnu brand under the umbrella of the Teva brand beginning in calendar year 2017.

As a result of the retail store fleet optimization, office consolidation and software impairments, the Company has incurred charges totaling approximately $25,000 at March 31, 2016. Of this amount, $9,000 is related to early lease termination costs, $4,000 is related to severance costs to be paid to employees, $6,000 is related to impairment of leasehold improvements and various assets, $4,000 is related to various Business Transformation Project (BT) supply chain software impairments, and $2,000 for termination of various contracts. Of the total amount, approximately $15,000 was accrued at March 31, 2016, and expected to be paid in 2017. Approximately $2,000 of the charges were recognized in cost of sales and the remainder were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. The segment impacts of the total restructuring charges are as follows: Sanuk brand wholesale charges of approximately $3,000, other brands wholesale charges of approximately $2,500 related to the Ahnu brand, DTC charges of approximately $10,500, and the remainder of approximately $9,000 to unallocated overhead costs, primarily BT supply chain software impairments and European office consolidation. It is anticipated that the Company will incur an additional $10,000 to $15,000 of similar restructuring costs in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017.
