Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto (referred to herein as condensed consolidated financial statements) as of June 30, 2020 and for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP) for interim financial information pursuant to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X issued by the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures required by US GAAP for annual financial statements and accompanying notes thereto. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 was derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring entries necessary to fairly present the results of the interim periods presented but are not necessarily indicative of results to be achieved for full fiscal years or other interim periods. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on June 1, 2020 (2020 Annual Report).

Consolidation

Consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications were made for prior periods presented to conform to the current period

presentation.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates. The preparation of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Management bases these estimates and assumptions upon historical experience, existing and known circumstances, authoritative accounting pronouncements, and other factors that management believes to be reasonable. Although the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company has made appropriate accounting estimates based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. However, actual results could differ materially from these estimates as a result of a number of factors, including, without limitation, the severity and duration of the pandemic; the timing and extent of governmental actions taken to control the spread and mitigate the impact of the pandemic; the impact of the pandemic on discretionary spending, consumer confidence, unemployment rates and retail store security; and the impact of the pandemic on global economic conditions and financial markets.

Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to inventory write-downs, trade accounts receivable allowances, including variable consideration for net sales provided to customers, contract assets and liabilities, stock-based compensation, impairment assessments, goodwill and other intangible assets, depreciation and amortization, income tax receivables and liabilities, uncertain tax positions, the fair value of financial instruments, the reasonably certain lease term, lease classification, and the Company's incremental borrowing rate (IBR) utilized to discount its unpaid lease payments to measure its operating lease assets and liabilities.

Reportable Operating Segments

The Company's six reportable operating segments include the worldwide wholesale operations for each of the UGG brand, HOKA brand, Teva brand, Sanuk brand, and Other brands, as well as DTC (referred to herein as reportable operating segments).

Information reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), who is the Company's Principal Executive Officer (PEO), is organized into the Company's six reportable operating segments and is consistent with how the CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources. The Company does not consider international operations to be a separate reportable operating segment, and the CODM reviews such operations in the aggregate with the reportable operating segments.

The Company evaluates reportable operating segment performance primarily based on net sales and income (loss) from operations. The wholesale operations of each brand are generally managed separately because each requires different marketing, research and development, design, sourcing, and sales strategies. The income (loss) from operations of each of the reportable operating segments includes only those costs which are specifically related to each reportable operating segment, which consist primarily of cost of sales, research and development, design, sales and marketing, depreciation, amortization, and the direct costs of employees within those reportable operating segments. The Company does not allocate corporate overhead costs or non-operating income and expenses to reportable operating segments, which include unallocable overhead costs associated with distribution centers, certain executive and stock-based compensation, accounting, finance, legal, information technology, human resources, and facilities, among others. Inter-segment sales from the Company’s wholesale reportable operating segments to the DTC reportable operating segment are at the Company’s cost, and there is no inter-segment profit on these inter-segment sales, nor are they reflected in income (loss) from operations of the wholesale reportable operating segments.

Assets allocated to each reportable operating segment include trade accounts receivable, net, inventories, net, property and equipment, net, operating lease assets, goodwill, other intangible assets, net, and certain other assets that are specifically identifiable for one of the Company's reportable operating segments. Unallocated assets are those assets not directly related to a specific reportable operating segment and generally include cash and cash equivalents, deferred tax assets, net, and various other corporate assets shared by the Company's reportable operating segments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Accounting Standard Updates (ASUs) that have been adopted by the Company for its annual and interim reporting periods as stated below. The following is a summary of each standard and the impact on the Company:



Standard	Description	Impact on Adoption
ASU No. 2017-04, Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (as amended by ASU 2019-06)	Requires annual and interim goodwill impairment tests be performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, effectively eliminating step two of the goodwill impairment test under legacy US GAAP. The amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value will continue to be recognized as an impairment charge.	The Company adopted this ASU beginning April 1, 2020 on a prospective basis, which did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (as amended by ASUs 2018-19, 2019-04, 2019-05, 2019-11, 2020-02, and 2020-03)	Replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in legacy US GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates.	The Company adopted this ASU beginning April 1, 2020 on a prospective basis, which did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Not Yet Adopted. The FASB has issued the following ASUs that have not yet been adopted by the Company. The following is a summary of each standard, planned period of adoption, and the expected impact on the Company:



Standard	Description	Planned Period of Adoption	Expected Impact on Adoption
ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes	Removes certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intra-period allocation and calculating income taxes in interim periods, as well as reduces complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group.	Q1 FY 2022	The Company is currently evaluating the impact on adoption of this ASU; however, the Company does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting	London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) is a benchmark interest rate referenced in a variety of agreements that are used by all types of entities. At the end of 2021, banks will no longer be required to report information that is used to determine LIBOR. As a result, LIBOR could be discontinued. Other interest rates used globally could also be discontinued for similar reasons. This ASU provides companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. Guidance is limited for adoption through December 31, 2022.	Q4 FY 2021	The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is completed at a point in time and when the customer has obtained control. Control passes to the customer when it has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all the remaining benefits from, the goods transferred. The amount of revenue recognized is based on the transaction price, which represents the invoiced amount less known actual amounts or estimates of variable consideration. Components of variable consideration include estimated discounts, markdowns or chargebacks, and sales returns. Estimated variable consideration is included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period.

The Company's customer contracts do not have a significant financing component due to their short durations, which are typically effective for one year or less and have payment terms that are generally 30-60 days.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets represent the Company’s right to consideration subject to conditions other than the passage of time, such as additional performance obligations to be satisfied. Contract liabilities are performance obligations that the Company expects to satisfy or relieve within the next 12 months, advance consideration obtained prior to satisfying a performance obligation, or unconditional obligations to provide goods or services under non-cancelable contracts before the transfer of goods or services to the customer has occurred. Contract assets and liabilities are recorded in other current assets and other accrued expenses, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Sales Returns. The following table provides activity during the three months ended June 30, 2020 related to estimated sales returns for the Company’s existing customer contracts for all channels:



	Contract Asset			Contract Liability
Balance, March 31, 2020	$	9,663		$	(25,667	)
Net additions to sales return allowance*	8,553			(25,782		)
Actual returns	(7,801		)	23,573
Balance, June 30, 2020	$	10,415		$	(27,876	)

The following table provides activity during the three months ended June 30, 2019 related to estimated sales returns for the Company’s existing customer contracts for all channels:



	Contract Asset			Contract Liability
Balance, March 31, 2019	$	10,441		$	(24,787	)
Net additions to sales return allowance*	3,776			(14,632		)
Actual returns	(8,713		)	24,447
Balance, June 30, 2019	$	5,504		$	(14,972	)

*Net additions to sales return allowance include provision for anticipated sales returns which consists of both contractual return rights and discretionary authorized returns.

Loyalty Programs. The Company has a customer loyalty program for the UGG brand in its DTC channel where customers earn rewards from qualifying purchases or activities. As of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the Company's contract liability for loyalty programs was $7,397 and $6,950, respectively.

Refer to Note 12, “Reportable Operating Segments,” for further information on the Company's disaggregation of revenue by reportable operating segment.

Fair Value Measurement

The accounting standard for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value, which is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy under this accounting standard requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required:


•	Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.


•	Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.


•	Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions.

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments, which principally include cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, net, trade accounts payable, accrued payroll, and other accrued expenses, approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying amount of the Company’s short-term borrowings and mortgage payable, which are considered Level 2 liabilities, approximates fair value based upon current rates and terms available to the Company for similar debt.

The Level 2 inputs consist of forward spot rates at the end of the applicable reporting period. The fair values of assets and liabilities associated with derivative instruments and hedging activities are recorded in other current assets and other accrued expenses, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 9, “Derivative Instruments,” for further information, including definitions of the terms Designated Derivative Contracts and Non-Designated Derivative Contracts.

Deferred Compensation

The Company sponsors a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that permits a select group of management employees to defer earnings to a future date on a non-qualified basis. Deferred compensation is recognized based on the fair value of the participants' accounts. A rabbi trust was established as a reserve for benefits payable under this plan, with the assets invested in company-owned life insurance policies.

Share-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is recorded net of estimated forfeitures in SG&A expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. The Annual RSUs typically vest in equal annual installments over three years following the date of grant. The Annual PSUs are typically earned based on the achievement of pre-established Company performance criteria measured over the fiscal year during which they are granted and, to the extent the performance criteria are met, vest in equal annual installments over three years thereafter. he Company grants various types of stock-based compensation under the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (2015 SIP), including time-based restricted stock units (RSUs), performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs), stock appreciation rights, and non-qualified stock options (NQSOs). The Company typically makes annual grants of RSUs (Annual RSUs) and PSUs (Annual PSUs), as well as long-term incentive plan (LTIP) awards, to certain executive officers and other key employees.

Derivatives

The Company may enter into foreign currency forward or option contracts (derivative contracts) to manage foreign currency risk on expected cash flows and certain existing assets and liabilities, primarily intercompany balances. Certain of these derivative contracts are designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted sales (Designated Derivative Contracts). The Company may also enter into derivative contracts that are not designated as cash flow hedges (Non-Designated Derivative Contracts), to offset a portion of anticipated gains and losses on certain intercompany balances until the expected time of repayment.

The after-tax unrealized gains or losses from changes in the fair value of Designated Derivative Contracts are recorded as a component of AOCL and are reclassified to net sales in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss in the same period or periods as the related sales are recognized. The Company includes all hedge components in its assessment of effectiveness for its derivative contracts. When it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting and the accumulated gains or losses in AOCL related to the hedging relationship are immediately recorded in other comprehensive income or loss (OCI) in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Changes in the fair value of Non-Designated Derivative Contracts are recorded in SG&A expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. The changes in fair value for these contracts are generally offset by the remeasurement gains or losses associated with the underlying foreign currency-denominated intercompany balances, which are recorded in SG&A expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Net Income Per Share

The equity awards excluded from the dilutive effect have been excluded due to one of the following: (1) the shares were anti-dilutive; (2) the necessary conditions had not been satisfied for the shares to be issuable based on the Company's performance for the relevant performance period; or (3) the Company recorded a net loss during the period presented (such that inclusion of these equity awards in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive). The number of shares stated for each of these excluded awards is the maximum number of shares issuable pursuant to these awards. For those awards with performance criteria, the actual number of shares to be issued pursuant to such awards will be based on Company performance in future periods, net of forfeitures, and may be materially lower than the number of shares presented.
