4.1The Employee will resign as a Director of the Company on or before the Termination Date at the request of the Company by signing and delivering to the Company a letter of resignation in the agreed form set out in Schedule 1.

4

Payment of the bonus is subject only to the Compensation Committee certifying that the Company has achieved its performance objectives for the year ending 31 December 2013. Payment of the 2013 bonus will be made on the same date that bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company in respect of the year ending 31 December 2013. The bonus will be paid subject to deduction of such income tax and National Insurance contributions as the Company is required by law to deduct.

 

5.5The Company agrees that the Employee shall be eligible to receive a bonus for the year ending 31 December 2014 in accordance with the terms of the Company’s bonus scheme and the Contract of Employment subject to satisfactory completion of the objectives to be determined and approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company for all executives and subject to the deduction of such income tax and National Insurance contributions as the Company is required by law to deduct. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company places the Employee on garden leave prior to the Termination Date in accordance with clause 5.6 below, the Company recognises that the Employee will or may not have the opportunity to complete all of the objectives by their due date. Accordingly, in those circumstances, the Company acknowledges and affirms that the Employee will be deemed to have satisfactorily and fully completed each and every personal objective for which the target date for completion of that objective was either unspecified or arose after the date of commencement of the garden leave.

 

5.6The Company may at any time prior to the Termination Date require the Employee not to perform any services for the Company or to perform only such services as it may allocate to the Employee ("Garden Leave"). For the avoidance of doubt, from the date of this Agreement up to the Termination Date the Employee agrees that he will not report directly to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

 

5.7During the period of Garden Leave the Company shall be under no obligation to provide any work to or vest any powers in the Employee, who shall have no right to perform any services for the Company and/or any Group Company.

 

5.8During the period of Garden Leave the Employee shall:

 

(a) continue to receive his salary and all contractual benefits in the usual way (subject to the rules of the relevant benefit scheme in force from time to time). The Company will declare these benefits to HMRC at the appropriate time and the Employee will be liable for any further tax or national insurance contributions due in relation to them;

 

5
 

  

(b) remain an Employee of the Company and be bound by the terms of his Contract of Employment with the Company;

 

(c) not, without the prior written consent of the Company, attend his place of work or any other premises of the Company or any Group Company;

 

(d) not, without the prior written consent of the Company, contact or deal with (or attempt to contact or deal with) any officer, employee, consultant, client, customer, supplier, agent, distributor, shareholder, adviser or other business contact of the Company or any Group Company. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this clause is intended to prevent the Employee from socialising in a purely personal and non-business-related capacity with any individual or individuals falling into the above categories who was a personal friend of the Employee and with whom the Employee socialised prior to the date of commencement of the garden leave;

 

(e) provide such services and assistance to the Company or any Group Company as the Company or any Group Company may reasonably request;

 

(f)(except during any periods taken as holiday in accordance with the Company's usual procedures) ensure that the Company knows where and how he can be contacted during each working day and shall comply with any written request to contact the Company.

 

6.Expenses

 

The Employee will, within 7 days of the Termination Date notify the Company of the amount of any expenses incurred by him in the performance of his duties prior to the Termination Date and will supply the Company with receipts or other documentary evidence of such expenditure. The Company will, within 28 days of receipt of such notification and evidence, reimburse to the Employee the amount of all such expenses properly and necessarily incurred by him in the course of his duties.

 

7.Payment in lieu of Notice.

 

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and the Contract of Employment, the Company shall pay to the Employee £412,000 as payment in lieu of notice under Section 20.1 of the Contract of Employment in consideration of, in consequence of or otherwise in connection with the termination of the Employee’s employment, such payment to be made within 28 days of the Termination Date.

 

8.Benefits

 

The Company shall, in addition to the Termination Payment, provide the Employee with the following Benefits as further compensation for loss of employment.

 

8.1The Company shall continue to make contributions at the rate of £2,404.33 per month into the the Company’s pension scheme (the "Scheme") for the Employee's benefit at the end of each calendar month during the period from the Termination Date until 31 December 2015, subject always to the rules of the Scheme and any HMRC limits from time to time in force, and provided that such payments shall cease at such time as the Employee obtains employment with (or is engaged in a similar capacity by) another third party.

 

8.2Subject always to the rules of the relevant scheme, the Company shall maintain insurance cover for the Employee during the period from the Termination Date to 31 December 2015 inclusive under the terms of the Company's private medical insurance scheme or such other equivalent scheme as the Company may from time to time adopt, provided that such cover shall cease at such time as the Employee obtains employment with (or is engaged in a similar capacity by) another third party.

 

6
 

  

9.Tax

 

9.1The Termination Payment will be paid subject to the deduction of:

 

(a)income tax in accordance with the Employee's PAYE tax coding; and

 

(b)to the extent applicable, primary class I National Insurance contributions.

 

The Employee will declare and account to Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs for any income tax due in respect of the Benefits.

 

9.2The Company makes no warranty as to the taxable status of the Termination Payment and Benefits and accordingly, the Employee hereby indemnifies and agrees to keep the Company and all Group Companies indemnified against any income tax and Employee National Insurance contributions liability (together with all interest, penalties and costs reasonably incurred) which the Company and/or any Group Company is or may be liable to pay or account for under the PAYE system in respect of the Termination Payment and the provision of the Benefits in excess of any deduction made by the Company at source in respect of such liability.

 

10.Legal Costs

 

The Company will pay the Employee's reasonable legal costs up to a maximum of £1,000 (plus VAT) incurred in respect of advice received by the Employee exclusively in connection with the termination of the Employee’s employment (including advice as to the terms and effect of this Agreement). Payment of these costs will be made direct to the Adviser subject to the Company's receipt of an invoice addressed to the Employee but marked payable by the Company. Payment of the Employee’s legal costs will be made within 28 days of (a) receipt of the invoice for those costs and (b) receipt of the Legal Adviser’s certificate in accordance with clause 16.3 (whichever is the later).

 

11.Confidentiality and Announcement

 

11.1The Company will make an announcement on the date of this Agreement in the form set out in Schedule 5 and neither party will make any statement to third parties (save as specified in clause 15) which is inconsistent with that announcement.

 

11.2It is a condition of this Agreement that its terms shall remain confidential to the parties and their legal and professional advisers (and, in the case of the Employee, his immediate family). Except as agreed in this Agreement or otherwise required by law, no statement or comment shall be made by the parties to any third party in relation to the terms or existence of this Agreement, the claims of the Employee settled by its terms and/or the circumstances of the termination of the Employee's employment and occupation as an officer of the Company and/or any Group Company. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this clause shall prevent the Employee from informing a prospective employer about the reasons for him leaving the Company provided that the information given by the Employee to that prospective employer is consistent with the terms of the announcement in clause 11.1.

 

11.3The parties will take all reasonable steps to ensure that no person under their influence or control, whether acting on their behalf or otherwise shall make any statement in relation to the matters referred to in clause 11.2. The Employee agrees to use his best endeavours to procure that the members of his immediate family keep the fact and contents of this Agreement strictly confidential. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Employee has contact or dealings with an employment agency, headhunter or recruitment consultant (the Agent) in order to attempt to secure alternative employment or work, nothing in this clause shall prevent the Employee from informing the Agent about the reasons for him leaving the Company provided that the information given to the Agent by the Employee is consistent with the terms of the announcement in clause 11.1.

 

7
 

  

11.4The Company will not make, publish or cause to be published any disparaging remarks or derogatory statement concerning the Employee and the Employee will not make, publish or cause to be published any such remarks concerning the Company, any Group Company, its or their directors, officers, shareholders or employees, any product or service being sold, developed or provided by the Company and/or any Group Company and the Employee confirms that he has not already done so.

 

12.Confidential Information

 

12.1The Employee shall not at any time disclose to any person or use for the Employee's own purposes or through lack of diligence cause the unauthorised disclosure of any Confidential Information except as authorised or required by law, although this restriction shall not apply to any Confidential Information coming into the public domain other than as a result of any breach by the Employee of this obligation.

 

12.2The Employee warrants that all Confidential Information that the Employee had in his possession, custody or under his control by whom and in whatever format recorded (whether electronically, on paper, on audio or audio visual tape or otherwise and including all copies) will be returned to the Company by the Termination Date and that neither the Employee nor any other unauthorised person will retain the ability to access such information.

"We believe that the concerted investments we are making in our brands, distribution platforms and infrastructure are leading to improved financial and operating results as we expand our direct-to-consumer footprint and elevate our Omni-Channel resources. Our sales and earnings growth were driven by strong full price selling throughout each of our distribution channels and geographic regions. The power of the UGG brand was on full display during the recent holiday season as consumers responded very positively to our most complete product line ever. Looking ahead, we expect to be well positioned to execute our consumer centric growth strategy with compelling new product introductions, engaging store experiences and a dynamic online offering. We are excited about the direction the Company is headed and we are committed to capitalizing on the many expansion opportunities that we believe are in front of us."

Division Summary

UGG Brand
UGG brand net sales for the fourth quarter increased 18.1% to $690.9 million compared to $584.8 million for the same period last year. The increase in sales was driven by sales gains across all primary channels, including the sales contribution from new retail store openings and an increase in same store sales, an increase in global E-Commerce sales, and higher domestic and international wholesale sales. For the full year, UGG brand net sales increased 9.7% to $1.299 billion compared to $1.184 billion last year.

Sanuk Brand
Sanuk brand net sales for the fourth quarter increased 45.2% to $22.2 million compared to $15.3 million for the same period last year. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to an increase in international distributor sales as well as higher domestic wholesale sales. For the full year, Sanuk brand net sales increased 8.2% to $101.7 million compared to $94.0 million last year.

Teva Brand
Teva brand net sales for the fourth quarter increased 13.6% to $15.5 million compared to $13.7 million for the same period last year. The increase in sales was driven primarily by higher domestic and international wholesale sales and higher international distributor sales. For the full year, Teva brand net sales increased 0.8% to $116.4 million compared to $115.5 million last year.

Other Brands
Combined net sales of the Company's other brands increased 110.1% to $7.4 million for the fourth quarter compared to $3.5 million for the same period last year. The increase was attributable to the addition of the HOKA ONE ONE® brand and to a 100.0% increase in sales for the Ahnu® brand compared to the same period last year. For the full year, combined net sales of the Company's other brands increased 85.8% to $39.7 million compared to $21.3 million last year.

Retail Stores
Sales for the global retail store business, which are included in the brand sales numbers above, increased 31.4% to $178.0 million for the fourth quarter compared to $135.5 million for the same period last year. This increase was driven by 40 new stores opened after the fourth quarter of 2012 and by a same store sales increase of 6.1% for the thirteen weeks ending December 29, 2013 compared to the thirteen weeks ending December 30, 2012. For the full year, sales for the retail store business increased 32.8% to $326.7 million compared to $246.0 million last year.

E-Commerce
Sales for the global E-Commerce business, which are included in the brand sales numbers above, increased 33.9% to $117.3 million for the fourth quarter compared to $87.6 million for the same period last year. The sales increase was driven primarily by strong domestic and international sales for the UGG brand, increased domestic sales of the Sanuk brand, plus the addition of new international E-Commerce websites. For the full year, sales for the E-Commerce business increased 29.8% to $169.5 million compared to $130.6 million last year.

Balance Sheet
At December 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents were $237.1 million compared to $110.2 million at December 31, 2012. The Company had $9.7 million in outstanding borrowings under its credit facility at December 31, 2013 compared to $33.0 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in cash and cash equivalents and the decrease in outstanding borrowings are primarily attributable to improved inventories and cash provided by operations, partially offset by $79.8 million of cash payments for capital assets primarily related to retail expansion and the Company's new headquarters facility.

Inventories at December 31, 2013 decreased 13.1% to $260.8 million from $300.2 million at December 31, 2012. By brand, UGG inventory decreased $43.6 million to $204.7 million at December 31, 2013, Teva inventory increased $0.4 million to $28.3 million at December 31, 2013, Sanuk inventory decreased $1.1 million to $13.4 million at December 31, 2013, and the other brands' inventory increased $4.9 million to $14.4 million at December 31, 2013.

Fiscal Year Change
The Company's Board of Directors has authorized a change in its fiscal year end to March 31 from December 31. This change will be effective March 31, 2014. Based on the seasonality of the business and the timing of the fall pre-book process, the change in fiscal year gives the company greater visibility into projecting revenue growth, planning expenses, and incorporating the results from the holiday season into product, merchandising and marketing initiatives for the upcoming year. The Company will report results for the three-month transition period of January 1, 2014 through March 31, 2014. The first 12-month fiscal year will run from April 1, 2014 through March 31, 2015.

Full Calendar Year Outlook For the 12-Month Period Ending December 31, 2014

  • Based upon current visibility, the Company expects full calendar year revenues to increase approximately 10% over 2013 levels.
  • The Company expects full calendar year diluted earnings per share to increase approximately 8% over 2013 levels. This guidance assumes a gross profit margin of approximately 49% and an operating margin of approximately 13%.
  • The Company expects full calendar year SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales to be approximately 36%. Among other items, these expenses include increased marketing costs, investments in IT infrastructure, international supply chain and distribution, expenses related to management reorganization and costs associated with opening 40 new stores in 2013 as well as the addition of new store openings in 2014.
  • The Company expects full calendar year UGG brand revenues to increase approximately 9% over 2013 levels.
  • The Company expects full calendar year Teva brand revenues to increase approximately 5% over 2013 levels.
  • The Company expects full calendar year Sanuk brand revenues to increase approximately 10% over 2013 levels.
  • Combined full calendar year net sales of the Company's other brands are expected to be approximately $65 million.
  • Calendar year 2014 guidance also assumes that the Company's effective tax rate will be approximately 29%.

First Quarter Outlook

  • The Company currently expects first calendar quarter 2014 revenues to increase approximately 6% over first quarter 2013 levels, and expects to report a first calendar quarter 2014 diluted loss per share of approximately $(0.16) compared to a diluted earnings per share of $0.03 reported in the first quarter of 2013.
  • As a reminder, a significant amount of our operating expenses are fixed and spread evenly on an absolute dollar basis throughout each quarter. This includes the costs associated with the 28 new stores that were not open until the second half of 2013. Therefore, we expect our earnings to decline in the first half of 2014 as compared to the first half of 2013, which are typically our lowest volume sales quarters, and increase over 2013 in the back half of the calendar year.

Although we do not make forward-looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy. As a result, actual results may differ materially from the results stated in or implied by our forward-looking statements. Some of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: changes in economic or market conditions; the financial success of our customers and the risk of losing one or more of our key customers; our ability to adequately protect our intellectual property rights and deter counterfeiting; the sensitivity of our sales to seasonality and the effect of weather conditions; the quality and price of raw materials, most notably sheepskin; our ability to realize returns on our new and existing retail stores; our ability to accurately forecast consumer demand; our ability to anticipate fashion trends; our ability to successfully implement our growth strategies, including enhancing the position of our brands and expanding our distribution channels; the impairment of our goodwill and other intangible assets; our dependence on independent manufacturers located outside of the U.S., and the challenge of maintaining a continuous supply of quality finished goods; risks of conducting business outside the U.S., including foreign currency and global liquidity risks; our ability to protect sensitive customer and company information and prevent the failure or interruption of key business processes; our ability to attract and retain key personnel; the loss of our warehouses; the international markets in which we sell our products are subject to a variety of laws and political and economic risks; risks related to international trade, import regulations and security procedures, liquidity and market risks for our cash and cash equivalents; risks associated with our revolving credit facility, including negative covenants that may restrict our ability to take certain actions; tax laws applicable to our business are very complicated and we could be subject to additional income tax liabilities; our ability to compete effectively with our competition; the effect of existing and future litigation on our business; and the volatility of the price of our common stock. Certain of these risks and uncertainties are more fully described in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 1, 2013, as well as in our other filings with the SEC.
