Table of Contents F-11
Use of Estimates. The preparation of the Company’sconsolidated 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 it believes to be reasonable. In addition, management
has considered the potential impact of macroeconomic and geopolitical factors on its business and results of
operations, including inflationary pressures, increased tariffs, rising supply chain costs, high interest rates, foreign
currency exchange rate volatility, escalating global conflicts, changes in discretionary spending, and recession risks.
Although the full impact of these factors is unknown, 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.
Significant accounting policies that require the use of management estimates and assumptions include those
related to revenue recognition such as sales returns, chargebacks, and sales discounts as well as contract
liabilities; accounts receivable allowances; inventory; income taxes including valuation of deferred income taxes;
stock-based compensation; impairment assessments, including for long-lived assets; the fair value of financial
instruments; those related to operating lease assets and lease liabilities including term, classification, and the
Company’s incremental borrowing rate (IBR).
Foreign Currency Translation. The Company considers the United States (US) dollar to be its functional currency.
The Company’s wholly owned foreign subsidiaries have various assets and liabilities, primarily cash, receivables,
and payables, which are denominated in currencies other than its functional currency. The Company remeasures
these monetary assets and liabilities using the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period, which results in
gains and losses that are recorded in selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses in theconsolidated
statements of comprehensive income as incurred. In addition, the Company translates assets and liabilities of
subsidiaries with reporting currencies other than US dollars into US dollars using the exchange rates at the end of
the reporting period, which results in financial statement translation gains and losses recorded in other
comprehensive income or loss (OCI), net of tax, in theconsolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Seasonality. A significant part of the UGG brand’s business has historically been seasonal, with the highest
percentage of net sales occurring in the third fiscal quarter, which has contributed to variation in results of
operations from quarter to quarter. However, as the HOKA brand’s net sales have increased as a percentage of
aggregate net sales, the impacts of seasonality have been partially mitigated as HOKA brand sales are generally
more evenly distributed throughout the fiscal year, although quarterly results may fluctuate based on the timing of
product launches. This trend is expected to continue. In addition, the Company hasfurther mitigated the impacts of
seasonality by diversifying and expandingits year-round product offerings across its brands.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Accounting
Standards Updates (ASUs) that have been adopted and not yet adopted by the Company as stated below.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The following is a summary of the Company’s significant
accounting policies applied to itsconsolidated financial statements:
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, and all highly
liquid investments, such as money-market funds, with an original maturity of three months or less. The carrying
value of money-market funds approximates the fair value as it is considered a highly liquid investment when
purchased. Money-market funds are recorded in cash and cash equivalents in theconsolidated balance sheets.
Refer to Note 4, “Fair Value Measurements,” for further information on the fair value of money-market funds.
The Company maintains a portion of its cash in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured bank deposit
accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company did not experience anylosses in such
accounts during theyears ended March 31, 2026,2025, and 2024. Based on the size and strength of the banking
institutions used, the Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risks in cash.
Allowances for Doubtful Accounts. The Company provides an allowance against trade accounts receivable for
estimated losses that may result from customers’ inability to pay. The Company determines the amount of the
allowance by analyzing known uncollectible accounts, aged trade accounts receivable, economic conditions and
forecasts, historical experience, and the customers’ creditworthiness. Trade accounts receivable that are
subsequently determined to be uncollectible are charged or written off against this allowance. The allowance
includes specific allowances for trade accounts, for which all or a portion are identified as potentially uncollectible
based on known or anticipated losses. Additions to the allowance represent bad debt expense estimates which are
recorded in SG&A expenses in theconsolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Inventories. Inventories, which are predominantly comprisedof finished goods on hand and in transit, are stated at
the lower of cost(weighted moving average)or net realizable value at each financial statement date. Net realizable
value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs to sell. The
Company regularly reviews inventory for excess, obsolete, and impaired inventory to evaluate write-downs to the
lower of cost or realizable value.
The Company outsources the production of its finished goods to independent third-party contractors that
manufacture all of its products (independent manufacturers), the majority ofwhich are in Southeast Asia. During the
year ended March 31, 2026, production of finished goods was predominantly from Vietnam and Indonesia, while
less than 5% was from China or any other individual country. The majority of raw materials and components used by
independent manufacturers are purchased from affiliates, manufacturers, factories, and other agents (designated
suppliers), who work with other subcontractors that extract, process, or convert these raw materials. Sheepskin is
used to manufacture a significant portion of the Company’s UGG brand products and is sourced primarily from
designated suppliers in Australia and processed bytwo tanneries in China.
Cloud Computing Arrangements (CCAs). The Company enters into various CCAs that are governed by service
contracts (hosting arrangements) to support operations. Application development stage implementation costs
(implementation costs) of a hosting arrangement are deferred and recorded to prepaid expenses and other assets
in theconsolidated balance sheets. Amortization of implementation costs begins when the software is ready for its
intended use. Amortization of implementation costs are calculated on a straight-line basis over the term of the
hosting arrangement, including reasonably certain renewals, which are generally one tothree years. Amortization
expense is recorded in SG&A expenses in theconsolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Table of Contents F-14
CCAs arerecorded in theconsolidated balance sheets as follows:
| As of March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Prepaid expenses: | ||
| Net CCAs placed in service | $2,053 | $2,167 |
| Other assets: | ||
| Net CCAs placed in service | 1,968 | 3,864 |
| CCAs in process | 16,508 | 163 |
| Total | $20,529 | $6,194 |
Refer to the section titled “Recoverability of Definite-Lived Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets” below, within
this footnote, for further information on an impairment of a CCA recorded during theyear ended March 31, 2025.
Property and Equipment, Net. Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and
generally have a useful life of at leastone year. Property and equipment include tangible, non-consumable items
owned by the Company. Software implementation costs are capitalized if they are incurred during the application
development stage and relate to costs to obtain computer software from third parties, including related consulting
expenses, or costs incurred to modify existing software that results in additional upgrades or enhancements that
provide additional functionality.
Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful
life. Leasehold improvements are amortized to their residual value, if any, on the straight-line basis over their
estimated economic useful lives or the lease term, whichever is shorter. Changes in the estimate of the useful life of
an asset may occur after an asset is placed in service. For example, this may occur as a result of the Company
incurring costs that prolong the useful life of an asset, which would be recorded as an adjustment to depreciation
over the revised remaining useful life. Depreciation is recorded in SG&A expenses in theconsolidated statements of
comprehensive income. Depreciation was$74,590,$67,579, and$54,958 during theyears ended March 31, 2026,
2025, and 2024, respectively.
Operating Lease Assets and Lease Liabilities. The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at
inception of a contract. The Company recognizes operating lease assets and lease liabilities in theconsolidated
balance sheets on the lease commencement date, based on the present value of the outstanding lease payments
over the reasonably certain lease term. The lease term includes the non-cancelable period at the lease
commencement date, plus any additional period covered by the Company’s option to extend (or not to terminate)
the lease that is reasonably certain to be exercised, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) a lease that is
controlled by the lessor.
Operating lease assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the associated lease
liabilities, adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus any initial direct costs
incurred, less any lease incentives, such as tenant allowances. Operating lease assets are subsequently measured
throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the associated lease liabilities, plus initial direct costs, plus or
minus any prepaid or accrued lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received.
Operating lease assets and lease liabilities are presented separately in theconsolidated balance sheets on a
discounted basis. The current portion of operating lease liabilities is presented within current liabilities, while the
long-term portion is presented separately as long-term operating lease liabilities. Refer to Note 7, “Leases,” for
further information on the discount rate methodology used to measure operating lease assets and lease liabilities.
Rent expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and recorded
in SG&A expenses in theconsolidated statements of comprehensive income. Lease payments recorded in the
operating lease liabilities (1) are fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments and fixed rate increases,
owed over the lease term and (2) exclude any lease prepayments as of the periods presented. Refer to Note 7,
Table of Contents F-15
“Leases,” for further information on the nature of variable lease payments and the timing of recognition of rent
expense.
The Company has elected not to recognize operating lease assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases, which
are defined as those operating leases witha term of 12 months or less. Instead, lease payments for short-term
leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term in rent expense and recorded as a component of
SG&A expenses in theconsolidated statements of comprehensive income.
The Company monitors for events that require a change in estimates for its operating lease assets and lease
liabilities, such as modifications to the terms of the contract, including the lease term, economic events that may
trigger a contractual term contingency, such as minimum lease payments or termination rights, and related changes
in discount rates used to measure the operating lease assets and lease liabilities, as well as events or
circumstances that result in lease abandonment or operating lease asset impairments. When a change in estimates
results in the remeasurement of the operating lease liabilities, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying
amount of the operating lease assets. The operating lease assets are remeasured and amortized on a straight-line
basis over the remaining lease term, with no impact on the related operating lease liabilities. Refer to the section
titled “Recoverability of Definite-Lived Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets” below, within this footnote, for further
information on the Company’s accounting policy for evaluating the carrying amount of its operating lease assets and
related leasehold improvements for indicators of impairment.
Asset Retirement Obligations (AROs). The Company is contractually obligated under certain of its lease
agreements to restore certain retail, office, and warehouse facilities back to their original conditions. At lease
inception, the present value of the estimated fair value of these liabilities is recorded along with the related asset.
The liability is estimated based on assumptions requiring management’s judgment, including facility closing costs
and discount rates, and is accreted to its projected future value over the life of the asset.
The Company’s AROs are recorded in other long-term liabilities in theconsolidated balance sheets and activity was
| Years Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Beginning balance | $28,118 | $25,686 |
| Additions and changes in estimate | 8,152 | 2,192 |
| Liabilities settled during the period | (735) | (732) |
| Accretion expenses | 1,122 | 927 |
| Foreign currency translation gains | 133 | 45 |
| Ending balance | $36,790 | $28,118 |
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the
estimated fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. As of March 31, 2026, and 2025, the carrying
value of goodwill recorded in theconsolidated balance sheets was$13,990, consisting of$7,889 and$6,101
attributable to the HOKA brand and UGG brand reportable operating segments, respectively. The Company also
holds an indefinite-lived intangible asset for a trademark related to the Teva brand. As of March 31, 2026, and 2025,
the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset recorded within other intangible assets in theconsolidated
balance sheets was$15,454.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized and are assessed for impairment at least annually
and if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company
performs its annual goodwill assessment at the reporting unit level (the wholesale channel of each of the HOKA
brand and UGG brand) as of December 31st and performs its annual indefinite-lived intangible asset assessment
for the Teva brand as of October 31st. When evaluating for impairment, the Company first performs a qualitative
assessment. If the qualitative assessment indicates potential impairment, the Company performs a quantitative
assessment to estimate fair value using discounted cash flow models (such as an income approach) and other
Table of Contents F-16
market-based valuation techniques. An impairment charge is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over
fair value. No impairment losses were recorded for goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets during the years
ended March 31, 2026,2025, and 2024. Accumulated goodwill impairment losses were$15,831 as of March 31,
2026, and 2025.
Definite-Lived Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets. Definite-lived intangible assets include definite-lived
trademarks. As of March 31, 2026, and 2025, the definite-lived intangible asset net carrying value isimmaterial.
Other long-lived assets include operating lease assets and property and equipment (primarily machinery and
equipment, internal-use software (including CCAs), and related leasehold improvements).
Definite-lived intangible and other long-lived assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful
lives. Definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment at the asset group
level, which is the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent, when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If indicators are present, recoverability is
assessed by comparing the carrying value of the asset group to estimated undiscounted future cash flows; if not
recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess of carrying value over estimated fair value. Estimated
fair value is generally determined using discounted future cash flows or other market -based valuation techniques.
Impairment losses, if any, are recorded within SG&A expenses in theconsolidated statements of comprehensive
income.
No impairment indicators for definite-lived intangible assets were identified during theyears ended March 31, 2026,
and 2025. During theyear ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded an$8,164 impairment loss within SG&A
expenses in theconsolidated statements of comprehensive income related to the Sanuk brand definite-lived
trademark in the Other brands reportable operating segment. The impairment was driven by lower-than-expected
results of operations in the wholesale channel, which resulted in the carrying value exceeding its estimated fair
value, determined by using discounted future cash flows.
No impairment indicators for other long-lived assets were identified during the year ended March 31, 2026. During
the years ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company recorded impairment charges of$4,290 and$1,015,
respectively, within SG&A expenses in theconsolidated statements of comprehensive income. The impairment
charge recorded during the year ended March 31, 2025, related primarily to an underperforming CCA and was
included within unallocated enterprise and shared brand expenses. The impairment charge recorded during the
year ended March 31, 2024, related primarily to underperformance of certain retail store‑related operating lease
assets and related leasehold improvements within the UGG brand and HOKA brand reportable operating segments.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Company may use derivative instruments to partially offset its
business exposure to foreign currency risk on expected cash flows and certain existing assets and liabilities,
primarily intercompany balances. To reduce the volatility in earnings from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
rates, the Company may hedge a portion of forecasted sales denominated in foreign currencies. The Company
enters into foreign currency forward or option contracts (derivative contracts), generally with maturities up to 18
months or less 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 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 Company
does not usederivative contracts for trading purposes.
Designated and Non-Designated Derivative Contracts are recorded at fair value measured using Level 2 fair value
inputs, consisting of quoted forward spot rates from counterparties at the end of the applicable periods, which are
corroborated by market-based pricing. The related assets and liabilities are classified based on their maturity dates
and recorded in other current assets or other assets, and in other accrued expenses or other long-term liabilities, as
applicable, in theconsolidated balance sheets.
Table of Contents F-17
Changes in the fair value of Designated Derivative Contracts are recorded, net of tax, in OCI in theconsolidated
statements of comprehensive income and in accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) in theconsolidated
balance sheets. Amounts are reclassified from AOCL to net sales in theconsolidated statements of comprehensive
income when the related sales are recognized and to SG&A expenses in theconsolidated statements of
comprehensive income after maturity. 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 OCI in theconsolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company includes all
hedge components in its assessment of effectiveness for itsderivative contracts. Refer to Note 4, “Fair Value
Measurements,” for further information on the fair value of derivative instruments.
Changes in the fair value of Non-Designated Derivative Contracts are recorded in SG&A expenses in the
consolidated statements of comprehensive income. 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 theconsolidated statements of comprehensive
income.
The Company generally enters into over-the-counter derivative contracts with high-credit-quality counterparties, and
therefore considers the risk that counterparties fail to perform according to the terms of the contract as low. The
Company factors the nonperformance risk of the counterparties into the fair value measurements of itsderivative
contracts. Refer to Note 10, “Derivative Instruments,” for further information on the impact of derivative instruments
and hedging activities.
Stock Repurchase Program. Repurchased shares of the Company’s common stock are retired. The par value of
repurchased shares is deducted from common stock, and the excess repurchase price over par value as well as the
portion due for excise taxes, is allocated to retained earnings in theconsolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 11,
“Stockholders’ Equity,” for further information on the Company’s stock repurchase program.
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 they have 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. The Company recognizes revenue at the transaction price, net of variable consideration,
including sales returns and allowances for sales discounts and chargebacks, and excludes taxes that are collected
from customers and remitted to governmental authorities, such as sales, use, certain excise, and value-added
taxes. Revenue excludes fees and sales commissions, which are expensed as incurred and are recorded in SG&A
expenses in theconsolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company’s customer contracts do not
have a significant financing component due to their short durations, which are typicallye ffective forone year or less,
and have payment terms that are generally 30 to 60 days.
Wholesale and international distributor revenue is recognized either when products are shipped or when delivered,
depending on the applicable contract terms. Retail store and e-commerce revenue transactions are recognized at
the point of sale and upon shipment, respectively. Shipping and handling costs paid to third-party shipping
companies are recorded as cost of sales in theconsolidated statements of comprehensive income. Shipping and
handling costs are a fulfillment service, and, for certain wholesale and all e-commerce transactions, revenue is
recognized when the customer is deemed to obtain control upon the date of shipment. Refer to Note 2, “Revenue
Recognition and Business Concentrations,” for further information regarding the Company’s components of variable
consideration.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the Company’s goods isprimarily for finished goods, as well as related overhead.
Finished goods include material costs, including commodities, for products; allocation of initial molds; and tooling
cost that are amortized based on minimum contractual quantities of related product and recorded in cost of sales in
theconsolidated statements of comprehensive income when the product is sold.
Table of Contents F-18
Distribution Costs. Distribution costs include payroll and related costs, rent and occupancy, depreciation and other
related costs, and other SG&A expenses within other segment items for owned warehousing, third-party logistics
provider (3PL) service fees, and receiving, inspecting, allocating, and packaging product. Distribution costs include
fixed costs and variable costs that fluctuate with net sales and are expensed as incurred, which are primarily
included in unallocated enterprise and shared brand expenses. Such costs amounted to$266,237,$279,090, and
$238,312 for theyears ended March 31, 2026,2025, and 2024, respectively, and are recorded in SG&A expenses
in theconsolidated statements of comprehensive income. Refer to Note 13, “Reportable Operating Segments,” for
further information on the Company’s unallocated enterprise and shared brand expenses.
Research and Development Costs. Research and development (R&D) costs include payroll and related costs and
other SG&A expenses within other segment items. R&D costs are expensed as incurred, and included within each
reportable operating segment, as applicable, as well asunallocated enterprise and shared brand expenses. Such
costs amounted to$68,899,$56,676, and$49,171 for theyears ended March 31, 2026,2025, and 2024,
respectively, and are recorded in SG&A expenses in theconsolidated statements of comprehensive income. Refer
to Note 13, “Reportable Operating Segments,” for further information on the Company’s unallocated enterprise and
shared brand expenses.
Advertising, Marketing, and Promotion Expenses. Advertising, marketing, and promotion expenses include media
advertising (television, radio, print, social, digital), tactical advertising (signs, banners, point-of-sale materials) and
other promotional costs; and arespecific to the Company’s brands and allocated to each reportable operating
segment, as applicable. Such costs amounted to$495,838,$432,198, and$348,852 for theyears ended March 31,
2026,2025 and 2024, respectively, and are recorded in SG&A expenses in theconsolidated statements of
comprehensive income. Advertising costs are expensed the first time the advertisement is run or communicated. All
other costs of advertising, marketing, and promotion are expensed as incurred. Included in prepaid expenses as of

Stock-Based Compensation. All of the Company’s stock-based compensation is classified within stockholders’
equity. Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and
is recorded, net of forfeitures, in SG&A expenses in theconsolidated statements of comprehensive income ratably
over the vesting period. The grant date fair value of time-based restricted stock units (RSUs) and of employees’
purchase rights under the employee stock purchase plans is determined based on the closing market price of the
Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The grant date fair value of long-term incentive plan performance-
based stock units (LTIP PSUs), which include a market condition based on the Company’s relative total stockholder
return (TSR) as well as financial performance conditions and service requirements, is estimated as of the grant date
using a Monte Carlo simulation.
Determining the fair value and related expense of stock-based compensation requires judgment, including
estimating the percentage of awards that will be forfeited and probabilities of meeting the awards’ performance
criteria, as well as the Company’s reliance on the closing price of its stock on the New York Stock Exchange at or
near the time of grant. If actual forfeitures differ significantly from the estimates or if probabilities change during a
period, stock-based compensation expense and the Company’s results of operations could be materially impacted.
Refer to Note 9, “Stock-Based Compensation,” for further information on grant activity, types of awards, and
additional disclosure related to stock-based compensation.

Non-qualified Deferred Compensation. The Company sponsors an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation
plan (NQDC Plan) that provides certain members of its management team with the opportunity to defer
compensation into the NQDC Plan. The NQDC Plan year is from January 1st to December 31st. Participants may
defer up to 50% of their annual base salary and up to 95% of any cash incentive bonus under the NQDC Plan. The
Company may utilize a trust as an informal reserve for the benefits payable under the NQDC Plan, though assets
remain subject to claims of general creditors. The Company primarily funds its obligations under the NQDC Plan
through corporate-owned life insurance. Deferred compensation is recognized based on the fair value of the
participants’ accounts. Refer to Note 4, “Fair Value Measurements,” for further information on the fair value of
deferred compensation assets and liabilities.
Self-Insurance. The Company is self-insured for a significant portion of its employee medical, including pharmacy,
and dental liability exposures. Liabilities for self-insured exposures are accrued for the amounts expected to be paid
based on historical claims experience and actuarial data for forecasted settlements of claims filed and for incurred
but not yet reported claims. Accruals for self-insured exposures are included in accrued payroll in theconsolidated
balance sheets. Excess liability insurance has been purchased to limit the amount of self-insured risk on claims.
Income Taxes. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to net operating loss carryforwards and
temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to
taxable income during the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The
effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recorded in theconsolidated statements of comprehensive
income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions in theconsolidated financial statements only if those
positions are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. Recognized income tax positions are
measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. Changes
in recognition or measurement are recorded in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company
records interest and penalties accrued for income tax contingencies as interest expense in theconsolidated
statements of comprehensive income. Refer to Note 5, “Income Taxes,” for further information on tax impacts and
components of tax balances in theconsolidated financial statements.
Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income or loss is the total of net earnings and all other non-owner
changes in equity. Comprehensive income or loss includes net income or loss, foreign currency translation
adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges. Refer to Note 11, “Stockholders’ Equity,” for
further information on components of OCI.
Net Income per Share. Basic net income or loss per share represents net income or loss divided by the weighted-
average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income or loss per share represents net
income or loss divided by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding, including the dilutive impact of
potential issuances of common stock. Refer to Note 12, “Basic and Diluted Shares,” for further information on a
reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.
