General

The Company. Deckers Outdoor Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) is a global leader in designing, marketing, and distributing innovative footwear, apparel, and accessories developed for both everyday casual lifestyle use and high-performance activities. As part of its omni-channel platform, the Company's proprietary brands are aligned across its Fashion Lifestyle group, including the UGG and Koolaburra brands, and Performance Lifestyle group, including the HOKA, Teva, and Sanuk brands.

The Company sells its products through domestic and international retailers, international distributors, and directly to its global consumers through its DTC business, which is comprised of its retail stores and e‑commerce websites. Independent third-party contractors manufacture all of the Company's products. A significant part of the UGG brand business has historically been seasonal, requiring the Company to build inventory levels during certain quarters in its fiscal year to support higher selling seasons, which has contributed to the variation in its results from quarter to quarter. However, as the Company continues to take steps to diversify and expand its product offerings by creating more year-round styles, and as net sales of the HOKA brand continue to increase as a percentage of our aggregate net sales, the Company expects the impact from seasonality to continue to decrease over time.

Basis of Presentation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto (referred to herein as condensed consolidated financial statements) as of June 30, 2022 and for the three months ended June 30, 2022 (current fiscal quarter) and 2021 (the prior period) are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the US (US GAAP) for interim financial information pursuant to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X issued by the SEC. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements 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, 2022, is 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 actual 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, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on May 27, 2022 (2022 Annual Report).

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.

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. In addition, the Company has considered the potential impact of the pandemic, as well as certain macroeconomic factors, including inflation, rising interest rates, and recessionary pressures, on its business and operations. Although the full impact of these factors are unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company believes it has made appropriate accounting estimates and assumptions based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. However, actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions, which may result in material effects on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity. To the extent there are differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements may be materially affected.

Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions 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, including for goodwill, other intangible assets, and long-lived 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 utilized to measure its operating lease assets and lease 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 (collectively, the Company's reportable operating segments). Refer to Note 10, “Reportable Operating Segments,” for further information on the Company's reportable operating segments.

Impairment of Operating Lease and Other Long-Lived Assets. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded impairment charges of $1,068 within its DTC reportable operating segment in selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for retail store related operating lease assets and leasehold improvements (asset group). These impairment charges were due to underperformance of certain retail stores that resulted in the carrying value exceeding the estimated fair value of the asset group, which is based on discounted future cash flows. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded no impairment charges on operating lease and other long-lived assets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Accounting Standard Updates (ASU) that have not yet been adopted by the Company for its annual and interim reporting periods, as stated below.

Not Yet Adopted. The following is a summary of each ASU issued that is applicable to and has not yet been adopted, as well as the planned period of adoption, and the expected impact on the Company upon its adoption:

Standard	Description	Planned Period of Adoption	Expected Impact Upon Adoption
ASU No. 2020-04,  Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (as amended by ASU 2021-01)	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 calendar year 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.	Q3 FY 2023	The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its revolving credit facilities, lease agreements, and other transactions; however, the Company does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
