(1)
The additions to the allowance for doubtful accounts represent estimates of the Company's bad debt expense based upon the factors on which the Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable, with actual recoveries netted into additions. Deductions are for the actual write-off of the related trade accounts receivables.

(2)
The additions to the allowance for sales discounts represent estimates of discounts to be taken by the Company's customers based upon the amount of outstanding discounts for prompt or early payments. Deductions are for the actual discounts taken by the Company's wholesale channel customers. Discounts for DTC customers are taken at the point of sale and are not reflected in the allowance for sales discounts.

(3)
The additions to the allowance for chargebacks represent chargebacks and markdowns taken in the respective year, as well as an estimate of amounts that will be taken in the future related to sales in the current reporting period. Deductions are for the actual amounts written off against outstanding trade accounts receivables.

(4)
The additions to the allowance for sales returns represent estimates of returns based upon the Company's historical wholesale channel customer returns experience. Deductions are for the actual return of products. Returns of DTC customer products are excluded as they are separately recorded in the sales return liability.
