The fair value of Designated Derivative Contracts and Non-Designated Derivative Contracts is determined using quoted forward spot rates at the end of the applicable reporting period from counterparties, which are corroborated by market-based pricing (Level 2), with related assets and liabilities recorded in other current assets and other accrued expenses, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 7, “Derivative Instruments,” for further information, including the definition of the terms Designated Derivative Contracts and Non-Designated Derivative Contracts.

NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense and the effective income tax rate were as follows:

Three Months Ended September 30,Six Months Ended September 30,
2025202420252024
Income tax expense$74,204$76,591$118,067$110,119
Effective income tax rate21.7%24.0%22.5%23.5%

The tax provisions during the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, were computed using the estimated effective income tax rate applicable to each of the domestic and foreign taxable jurisdictions for the current fiscal year, and prior fiscal year, respectively, and were adjusted for discrete items that occurred within the periods presented above. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, the net change in the effective income tax rate, compared to the prior period, was primarily due to non-recurring changes in valuation allowances on tax attributes, net discrete tax benefits for audit settlements and adjustments to income taxes payable, and changes in jurisdictional mix of worldwide income before income taxes, partially offset by reduced tax benefits for stock-based compensation. In addition, the net change in the effective tax rate during the six months ended September 30, 2025 included an income tax expense for reserve adjustments.

Recent Tax Law Changes. On July 4, 2025, H.R. 1, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), was signed into law. The OBBBA includes, among other provisions, changes to US corporate income tax law, including restoration of accelerated depreciation on capital expenditures, deductible research and development expenses, and modifications to the international tax framework. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the law on its condensed consolidated financial statements as more information becomes available, although it expects to achieve cash tax savings as a result of the full expensing of US research and development expenses in the current fiscal year.

NOTE 5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases. The Company enters into operating lease contracts, which primarily relate to retail stores, showrooms, offices, and distribution facilities. There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business during the six months ended September 30, 2025, to the Company’s operating lease terms disclosed in the 2025 Annual Report.

Supplemental information for amounts presented in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows related to operating leases was as follows:

Litigation. From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings, disputes, and other claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including employment, intellectual property, and product liability claims. Although the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes it is not currently a party to any legal proceedings, disputes, or other claims for which a material loss is considered probable and for which the amount (or range) of loss is reasonably estimable.

Refer to Note 7, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in Part IV of the 2025 Annual Report for further information on the Company’s contractual obligations and commitments.

The Company enters into foreign currency forward or option contracts (derivative contracts) to manage foreign currency risk and certain of these derivative contracts are designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted sales (Designated Derivative Contracts). The Company also enters into derivative contracts that are not designated as cash flow hedges, to offset a portion of anticipated gains and losses on certain intercompany balances until the expected time of repayment (Non-Designated Derivative Contracts). Refer to Note 1, “General,” in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in Part IV of the 2025 Annual Report for further information related to accounting policies on the Company’s derivative contracts.

The Board last approved an authorization of $2,250,000 on May 21, 2025 to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the same conditions as the prior stock repurchase program.

Excluded Awards. The equity awards excluded from the calculation of the dilutive effect may be excluded due to one of the following: (1) the shares were antidilutive or (2) the necessary conditions had not been satisfied for the shares to be deemed issuable based on the Company’s performance for the relevant performance period. 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 subject to the achievement of 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, which could result in a lower dilutive effect. Refer to Note 8, “Stock-Based Compensation,” in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in Part IV of the 2025 Annual Report for further information on the Company’s equity incentive plans.

NOTE 10. REPORTABLE OPERATING SEGMENTS

Information reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), who is the Principal Executive Officer (PEO), is organized into the Company’sthree reportable operating segments, which include the brand operations for the HOKA brand, UGG brand, and Other brands.

The Company does not regularly provide total assets or capital expenditures information by reportable operating segments to the CODM because that information is not used to evaluate performance or allocate resources to each reportable operating segment.

Segment Net Sales, Gross Margin, and Income from Operations. The CODM regularly evaluates the performance of each reportable operating segment based on net sales, gross profit as a percentage of net sales (gross margin), and income from operations when making decisions about resource allocations to each reportable operating segment. Income from operations of each reportable operating segment includes certain costs, which are specifically related to each reportable operating segment and that are regularly provided to the CODM. These costs consist of cost of sales; payroll and related expenses, including stock-based compensation; advertising, marketing, and promotion expenses; rent and occupancy; depreciation and other related costs; and other segment items. There are no inter-segment sales for any period presented. The accounting policies applicable to the Company’s reportable operating segments are consistent with those described in Note 1, “General,” in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in Part IV of the 2025 Annual Report.

Income from operations of each reportable operating segment excludes enterprise and shared brand expenses, as well as total other income, net, which are not used to assess reportable operating segment performance. Unallocated enterprise and shared brand expenses are costs that are managed centrally and not specific to any one brand. These costs are primarily comprised of certain payroll and related expenses, including stock-based compensation; global IT expenses; 3PL service fees; depreciation, rent, and occupancy for owned warehouses and DCs and offices; and other SG&A expenses, such as costs for contract services, materials, supplies, and travel. These costs span multiple functions including owned warehouses and DCs and 3PL service fees, along with enterprise costs, which include centralized commercial operations, IT, finance, human resources, legal, supply chain, and corporate executives.

Reportable operating segment information, with a reconciliation to the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, was as follows:
