The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Deckers Outdoor Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Company"). Accordingly, all references herein to Deckers Outdoor Corporation or "Deckers" include the consolidated results of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Deckers Outdoor Corporation 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.  The Company's business is seasonal, with the highest percentage of UGG® brand net sales occurring in the quarters ending September 30 and December 31 and the highest percentage of Teva® and Sanuk® brand net sales occurring in the quarters ending March 31 and June 30 of each year. The other brands do not have a significant seasonal impact on the Company.
Prior to April 2, 2012, the Company owned 51% of a joint venture with an affiliate of Stella International Holdings Limited (Stella International) for the primary purpose of opening and operating retail stores for the UGG brand in China. Stella International is also one of the Company's major manufacturers in China. On April 2, 2012, the Company purchased the 49% noncontrolling interest owned by Stella International for a total purchase price of approximately $20,000. The Company accounted for this transaction as an acquisition of the remaining interest of an entity that had already been majority-owned by the Company. The purchase resulted in a reduction to additional paid in capital of $14,037 representing excess purchase price over the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest. Prior to this purchase, the Company already had a controlling interest in this entity, and therefore, the subsidiary had been and continues to be consolidated with the Company's operations.
In May 2012, the Company purchased a noncontrolling interest in the Hoka One One® (Hoka) brand, a privately held footwear company, which was accounted for as an equity method investment. In September 2012, the Company acquired the remaining ownership interest in Hoka. The acquisition of Hoka was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and does not have a significant seasonal impact on the Company.
In February 2014, our Board of Directors approved a change in the Company's fiscal year end from December 31 to March 31. The change was intended to better align the Company's planning, financial and reporting functions with the seasonality of the business. The 2015, 2013 and 2012 fiscal years ended on March 31, 2015, December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The transition period was the quarter ended March 31, 2014 to coincide with the change in our fiscal year end.
In July 2014, the Company acquired its UGG brand distributor that sold to retailers in Germany and now operates a wholesale business in Germany through the newly acquired subsidiary. The acquisition included certain intangible and tangible assets and the assumption of liabilities. The purchase price of the acquisition was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the Company acquired inventory and certain intangible assets, including the trade name related to the Koolaburra® brand, a sheepskin and wool based footwear brand. The purchase price of the acquisition was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
  
We sell our brands through quality domestic retailers and international distributors and retailers, as well as directly to our end-user consumers through our E-Commerce business and retail stores. Independent third parties manufacture all of our products.
Inventories
Inventories, principally finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market (net realizable value). Cost includes initial molds and tooling that are amortized over the life of the mold in cost of sales. Cost also includes shipping and handling fees and costs, which are subsequently expensed to cost of sales. Market values are determined by historical experience with discounted sales, industry trends, and the retail environment.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes wholesale, E-Commerce, and international distributor revenue when products are shipped and retail revenue at the point of sale. All sales are recognized when the customer takes title and assumes risk of loss, collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the sales price is fixed or determinable. For wholesale and international distributor sales, allowances for estimated returns, discounts, chargebacks, and bad debts are provided for when related revenue is recorded. For E-Commerce sales, allowances for estimated returns and bad debts are provided for when related revenue is recorded. For retail sales, allowances for estimated returns are provided for when related revenue is recorded. Amounts billed for shipping and handling costs are recorded as a component of net sales, while the related costs paid to third-party shipping companies are recorded as a cost of sales. The Company presents revenue net of taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.
Accounting for Long-Lived Assets
Other long-lived assets, such as machinery and equipment, leasehold improvements, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. The Company uses the straight-line method for depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, except for certain intangible assets where the Company can reliably determine the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets will be consumed.
At least quarterly, the Company evaluates whether any impairment triggering events, including the following, have occurred which would require such asset groups to be tested for impairment:
A significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset group;
a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset group is being used or in its physical condition;
a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset group, including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator;
an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset group;
a current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset group; or
a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset group will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life.
When an impairment triggering event has occurred, the Company tests for recoverability of the asset group's carrying value using estimates of undiscounted future cash flows based on the existing service potential of the applicable asset group. In determining the service potential of a long-lived asset group, the Company considers its remaining useful life, cash-flow generating capacity, and physical output capacity. These estimates include the undiscounted cash flows associated with future expenditures necessary to maintain the existing service potential. Long-lived assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. The Company assesses potential impairment of its retail group long-lived assets by comparing trailing twelve month (TTM) store cash flows to the current carrying value of the store's long-lived assets. Stores that have been opened for more than one year, or have otherwise been identified by management as having one or more indicators of impairment, with TTM cash flows less than the current carrying amount of the store's long-lived assets are then reviewed to determine if an impairment exists. An impairment loss, if any, would only reduce the carrying amount of long-lived assets in the group based on the fair value of the group assets.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist primarily of goodwill, trademarks, customer and distributor relationships, patents, lease rights, and non-compete agreements arising from the application of purchase accounting. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized and reviewed for impairment. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least annually, as of December 31, except for the Teva trademarks and Sanuk goodwill, which are tested as of October 31.
The assessment of goodwill impairment involves valuing the Company's reporting units that carry goodwill. Currently, the Company's reporting units are the same as the Company's operating segments. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company does not calculate the fair value of the reporting unit unless the Company determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. If the Company determines this, then the first quantitative step is a comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is not impaired. If the fair value of the reporting unit is below the carrying amount, then a second step is performed to measure the amount of the impairment, if any. The test for impairment involves the use of estimates related to the fair values of the business operations with which goodwill is associated and the fair values of the intangible assets with indefinite lives.
The Company also evaluates the fair values of other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives in relation to their carrying values. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment of the indefinite life intangible asset. The Company does not calculate the fair value of the indefinite life intangible unless the Company determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount, then the Company compares the fair value of the indefinite life intangible to its carrying amount, and if the fair value of the indefinite life intangible exceeds its carrying amount, no impairment charge will be recognized. If the fair value of the indefinite life intangible is less than the carrying amount, the Company will record an impairment charge to write-down the intangible asset to its fair value.
Determining fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets is highly subjective and requires the use of estimates and assumptions. The Company uses estimates including future revenues, royalty rates, discount rates, attrition rates, and market multiples, among others. The Company also considers the following factors:
the assets' ability to continue to generate income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods;
changes in consumer demand or acceptance of the related brand names, products, or features associated with the assets; and
other considerations that could affect fair value or otherwise indicate potential impairment.
In addition, facts and circumstances could change, including further deterioration of general economic conditions or the retail environment, customers reducing orders in response to such conditions, and increased competition. These or other factors could result in changes to the calculation of fair value which could result in impairment of the Company's remaining goodwill and other intangible assets. Changes in any one or more of these estimates and assumptions could produce different financial results.
Property and Equipment, Depreciation and Amortization
Property and equipment has a useful life expectancy of at least one year. Property and equipment includes tangible, non-consumable items owned by the Company valued at or above $3, certain computer software costs and internal or external computer system consulting work valued at or above $3 as defined below, and portable electronic devices valued at or above $1.5. Tangible, non-consumable items below these amounts are expensed. The value includes the purchase price, as well as costs to acquire (shipping and handling), sales tax, install (excluding site preparation costs), secure, and prepare the item for its intended use.
Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives. Machinery and equipment has estimated useful lives ranging from two to ten years, and furniture and fixtures has estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years.  Capitalized website costs, which are included in the machinery & equipment category, are immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial statements. Leasehold improvements are amortized to their residual value on the straight-line basis over their estimated economic useful lives or the lease term, whichever is shorter. Leasehold improvement lives range from one to fifteen years. Buildings are depreciated over 39 years. The Company allocates depreciation and amortization of property, plant, and equipment to cost of sales and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses. The majority of the Company's depreciation and amortization is included in SG&A expenses due to the nature of its operations. Most of the Company's depreciation and amortization is from its warehouses, its corporate headquarters and its retail stores. The Company outsources all manufacturing; therefore, the amount allocated to cost of sales is not material.
Fair Value Measurements
The fair values of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, income tax receivable and other current assets, short-term borrowings, trade accounts payable, accrued payroll, other accrued expenses, income taxes payable and the value added tax payable approximate the carrying values due to the relatively short maturities of these instruments. The fair values of the Company's long-term liabilities, other than contingent consideration, recalculated using current interest rates, would not significantly differ from the carrying values. The fair value of the contingent consideration related to acquisitions and of the Company's derivatives are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Changes in fair value resulting from either accretion or changes in discount rates or in the expectations of achieving the performance targets are recorded in SG&A expenses. The Company records the fair value of assets or liabilities associated with derivative instruments and hedging activities in other current assets or other accrued expenses, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets.
The inputs used in measuring fair value are prioritized into the following hierarchy:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The tables below summarize the Company's financial liabilities and assets that are measured on a recurring basis at fair value:

The Level 2 inputs consist of forward spot rates at the end of the reporting period (see Note 8).
The fair value of the contingent consideration is based on subjective assumptions. It is reasonably possible the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration could change in the near-term and the effect of the change could be material. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration attributable to our Sanuk® (Sanuk) brand acquisition is based on the Sanuk brand's estimated future gross profits, using a probability weighted average sales forecast to determine a best estimate of gross profits. Estimated contingent consideration payments of approximately $24,200 are included within other accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2015. The estimated sales forecasts include a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.6% from calendar year 2014 through calendar year 2015, the final year of the contingent consideration arrangement. The gross profit forecast for calendar year 2015 is approximately $64,000, which is then used to apply the contingent consideration percentages in accordance with the applicable agreement (see Note 6). The total estimated contingent consideration is then discounted to the present value with a discount rate of 7.0%. The Company's use of different estimates and assumptions could produce different estimates of the value of the contingent consideration. For example, a 5.0% change in the estimated CAGR would change the total liability balance at March 31, 2015 by approximately $2,000.
In connection with the Company's acquisition of the Hoka brand, the purchase price includes contingent consideration with maximum payments of $2,000 which is based on the Hoka brand's net sales for calendar years 2013 through 2017. As of March 31, 2015, approximately $500 has been paid. The Company estimates future net sales using a probability weighted average sales forecast to determine a best estimate. Estimated future contingent consideration payments of approximately $1,500 are included within other accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2015. The Company's use of different estimates and assumptions is not expected to have a material impact to the value of the contingent consideration.

Stock Compensation
All of the Company's stock compensation issuances are classified within stockholders' equity. Stock compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is expensed ratably over the vesting period. The Company recognizes expense only for those awards that management deems probable of achieving the performance and service objectives. Determining the expense of share-based awards requires judgment, including estimating the percentage of awards that will be forfeited and probabilities of meeting the awards' performance criteria. If actual forfeitures differ significantly from the estimates or if probabilities change during a period, stock compensation expense and the Company's results of operations could be materially impacted.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
In 2010, the Company established a nonqualified deferred compensation program that permits a select group of management employees to defer earnings to a future date on a nonqualified basis. For each plan year, on behalf of the Company, the Company's Board of Directors (the Board) may, but is not required to, contribute any amount it desires to any participant under this program. The Company's contribution will be determined by the Board annually. As of March 31, 2015, no such contribution has been approved by the Board . The value of the deferred compensation is recognized based on the fair value of the participants' accounts. The Company has established a rabbi trust for the purpose of supporting the benefits payable under this program. Deferred compensation of $540 is included in other accrued expenses and $5,041 is included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2015. Deferred compensation of $4,534 and $4,410 are included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. 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. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to inventory write-downs, accounts receivable allowances, returns liabilities, stock compensation, performance based compensation, impairment assessments, depreciation and amortization, income tax liabilities and uncertain tax positions, fair value of financial instruments, and fair values of acquired intangibles, assets and liabilities, including estimated contingent consideration payments. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Research and Development Costs
All research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs amounted to $20,872, $4,486, $19,257 and $15,617 for the year ended March 31, 2015, quarter ended March 31, 2014 and the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and are included in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Advertising, Marketing, and Promotion Costs
Advertising production costs are expensed the first time the advertisement is run. All other costs of advertising, marketing, and promotion are expensed as incurred. These expenses charged to operations for the year ended March 31, 2015, quarter ended March 31, 2014 and the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $111,162, $21,158, $86,510 and $78,528, respectively. Included in prepaid and other current assets at March 31, 2015, March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013 were $1,899, $209 and $212, respectively, related to prepaid advertising, marketing, and promotion expenses for programs to take place after such dates.
Rent Expense
Rent expense is recorded using the straight-line method to account for scheduled rental increases or rent holidays. Lease incentives for tenant improvement allowances are recorded as reductions of rent expense over the lease term. The rental payments under some of our retail store leases are based on a minimum rental plus a percentage of the store's sales in excess of stipulated amounts. Rent expenses are included SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
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 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 in 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 recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company accounts for interest and penalties generated by income tax contingencies as interest expense and SG&A expenses, respectively in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Net Income (Loss) per Share Attributable to Deckers Outdoor Corporation Common Stockholders
Basic net income (loss) per share represents net income (loss) attributable to Deckers Outdoor Corporation divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share represents net income (loss) attributable to Deckers Outdoor Corporation divided by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding, including the dilutive impact of potential issuances of common stock. For the years ended March 31, 2015, December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and quarter ended March 31, 2014, the difference between the weighted-average number of basic and diluted common shares resulted from the dilutive impact of nonvested stock units (NSUs), restricted stock units (RSUs), restricted stock awards (RSAs), stock appreciation rights (SARs), and options to purchase common stock. The reconciliations of basic to diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were as follows:

For the years ended March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2013 and 2012, the share-based awards that were excluded from the dilutive effect were excluded because the necessary conditions had not been satisfied for the shares to be issuable based on the Company's performance. For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company excluded all NSUs, RSUs, RSAs and SARs from the diluted net loss per share computation because they were antidilutive due to the net loss during the period. As of March 31, 2015, the excluded RSUs include the maximum amount of the 2012, 2013 and 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) Awards. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the excluded RSUs included the maximum amount of the Level III, 2012 and 2013 LTIP Awards. As of December 31, 2012, the excluded RSUs included the maximum amount of the Level III and 2012 LTIP Awards (see Note 7).
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company considers the US dollar as its functional currency. The Company has certain wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the US dollar. In most cases, the Company's foreign subsidiaries' local currency is the same as the designated functional currency. The Company holds a portion of its cash and other monetary assets and liabilities in currencies other than its subsidiary's functional currency, and is exposed to financial statement transaction gains and losses as a result of remeasuring the operating results and financial positions into their functional currency. The Company remeasures these monetary assets and liabilities using the exchange rate as of the end of the reporting period, which results in gains and losses that are included in SG&A expenses in the results of operations as incurred, except for gains and losses arising on intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term investment nature. 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 of the end of the reporting period, which results in financial statement translation gains and losses in other comprehensive income (loss)(OCI).
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies and has international sales and expenses denominated in foreign currencies, subjecting the Company to foreign currency risk. The Company may enter into foreign currency forward or option contracts, generally with maturities of 15 months or less, to reduce the volatility of cash flows primarily related to forecasted revenue denominated in certain foreign currencies. In addition, the Company utilizes foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, primarily intercompany balances. The Company does not use foreign currency contracts for trading purposes.
Certain of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts are designated cash flow hedges of forecasted intercompany sales and are subject to foreign currency exposures. These contracts allow the Company to sell Euros, British Pounds and Yen in exchange for US dollars at specified contract rates. Forward contracts are used to hedge forecasted intercompany sales over specific quarters. Changes in the fair value of these forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders' equity, and are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) during the period which approximates the time the corresponding third-party sales occur. The Company may also enter into foreign exchange contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments for financial accounting purposes. These contracts are generally entered into to offset the gains and losses on certain intercompany balances until the expected time of repayment. Accordingly, any gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of the non-designated contracts are reported in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). The gains and losses on these contracts generally offset the gains and losses associated with the underlying foreign currency-denominated balances, which are also reported in SG&A expenses. See Note 8 for the impact of derivative instruments and hedging activities on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
The Company records the assets or liabilities associated with derivative instruments and hedging activities at fair value based on Level 2 inputs in other current assets or other current liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. The Level 2 inputs consist of forward spot rates at the end of the reporting period. The accounting for gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value depends on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting.
For all hedging relationships, the Company formally documents the hedging relationship and its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the hedging instrument, the hedged transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged, how the hedging instrument's effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively, and a description of the method used to measure ineffectiveness. The Company factors the nonperformance risk of the Company and the counterparty into the fair value measurements of its derivatives. The Company also formally assesses, both at the inception of the hedging relationship and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging relationships are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged transactions. The Company assesses hedge effectiveness and measures hedge ineffectiveness at least quarterly. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as part of a cash flow hedging relationship, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported in OCI and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings.
The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when it determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged risk, the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, the cash flow hedge is designated because a forecasted transaction is not probable of occurring, or management determines to remove the designation of the cash flow hedge. In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, the Company continues to carry the derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet and recognizes any subsequent changes in its fair value in earnings. When it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting and recognizes immediately in earnings gains and losses that were accumulated in OCI related to the hedging relationship.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is the total of net earnings and all other non-owner changes in equity. Except for net income (loss), foreign currency translation adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges, the Company does not have any transactions and other economic events that qualify as comprehensive income (loss).
Business Segment Reporting
Management of the Company has determined its reportable segments are its strategic business units and it is by these segments that information is reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The six reportable segments are the UGG, Teva, Sanuk and other brands wholesale divisions, the E-Commerce business, and the retail store business. The CODM is the Principal Executive Officer. The Company performs an annual analysis of the appropriateness of its reportable segments. Information related to the Company's business segments is summarized in Note 11.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include $127,900, $143,816 and $154,105 of money market funds at March 31, 2015, March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Retirement Plan
The Company provides a 401(k) defined contribution plan that eligible US employees may elect to participate in through tax-deferred contributions. The Company matches 50% of each eligible participant's tax-deferred contributions on up to 6% of eligible compensation on a per payroll period basis, with a true-up contribution if such eligible participant is employed by the Company on the last day of the calendar year. Internationally, the Company has various defined contribution plans. Certain international locations require mandatory contributions under social programs, and the Company contributes at least the statutory minimums. US 401(k) matching contributions totaled $1,726, $601, $1,386 and $1,066 during the year ended March 31, 2015, quarter ended March 31, 2014, and the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In addition, the Company may also make discretionary profit sharing contributions to the plan. However, the Company did not make any profit sharing contributions for the year ended March 31, 2015, quarter ended March 31, 2014, and the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On May 28, 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in US GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on April 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting. Subsequent to March 31, 2015, the FASB proposed a one year deferral of the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09.

Subsequent to March 31, 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires an entity to present debt issuance costs on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. Prior to the issuance of the standard, debt issuance costs were required to be presented in the balance sheet as a deferred charge (i.e., an asset). This ASU is effective for the Company on April 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this ASU will only change the presentation of prepaid expenses, other assets and short-term borrowings in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company is considering early adoption of this update during its fiscal year 2016.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company performed its annual impairment tests and evaluated its UGG and other brands' goodwill. As of October 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company performed its annual impairment tests and evaluated its Teva trademarks and Sanuk goodwill. Based on the carrying amounts of the UGG, Teva, Sanuk, and other brands' goodwill, trademarks, and net assets, the brands' fiscal year 2015, quarter ended March 31, 2014 and fiscal year 2013 sales and operating results, and the brands' long-term forecasts of sales and operating results as of their evaluation dates, the Company concluded that the carrying amounts of the UGG, Sanuk and other brands' goodwill, as well as the Teva trademarks, were not impaired. The Sanuk brand goodwill was evaluated based on Level 3 inputs as of October 31, 2013 and based on qualitative analyses as of October 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and as of October 31, 2014 and 2013, all goodwill other than the Sanuk brand goodwill and all other nonamortizable intangibles were evaluated based on qualitative analyses.

In order to fully realize the deferred tax assets, the Company will need to generate future taxable income of approximately $76,000. The deferred tax assets are primarily related to the Company's domestic operations. The change in net deferred tax assets between March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 includes approximately $100 attributable to OCI. The change in net deferred tax assets between March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 includes approximately $800 attributable to goodwill, partially offset by approximately $200 attributable to OCI. Domestic taxable income for the year ended March 31, 2015, the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $91,017, $0, $151,204 and $141,660, respectively. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the net deferred tax assets and, accordingly, no valuation allowance was recorded in fiscal years 2015, 2013 and 2012.
As of March 31, 2015, withholding and US taxes have not been provided on approximately $362,000 of unremitted earnings of non-US subsidiaries because the earnings are expected to be reinvested outside of the US indefinitely. Repatriation of all foreign earnings would result in approximately $118,000 of US income tax. Such earnings would become taxable upon the sale or liquidation of these subsidiaries or upon the remittance of dividends. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $132,000 of cash and cash equivalents outside the US that would be subject to additional income taxes if they were to be repatriated. If the Company were to repatriate foreign cash, the Company would record the US tax liability net of any foreign income taxes previously paid on this cash. The Company has no plans to repatriate any of its foreign cash. For fiscal year 2015, the Company generated approximately 25.0% of its pre-tax earnings from a country which does not impose a corporate income tax.
When tax returns are filed, some positions taken are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which the Company believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. The portion of the benefits that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. 
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of total unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate as of March 31, 2015 was $3,566. It is reasonably possible that approximately $300 of unrecognized tax benefits will be settled within the next 12 months. As of March 31, 2015, interest and potential penalties of $1,246 were accrued in the consolidated balance sheets resulting from tax positions that are subject to examination. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, interest and potential penalties of $349 and $360, respectively, were accrued in the consolidated balance sheets resulting from outstanding state liabilities as a result of resolved Federal examinations.
The Company files income tax returns in the US federal jurisdiction and various state, local, and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to US federal, state, local, or non-US income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2009.
Although the Company believes its tax estimates are reasonable and prepares its tax filings in accordance with all applicable tax laws, the final determination with respect to any tax audits, and any related litigation, could be materially different from the Company's estimates or from its historical income tax provisions and accruals. The results of an audit or litigation could have a material effect on operating results or cash flows in the periods for which that determination is made. In addition, future period earnings may be adversely impacted by litigation costs, settlements, penalties, or interest assessments.
The Company has on-going income tax examinations under various state and foreign tax jurisdictions. It is the opinion of management that these audits and inquiries will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt
Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt
Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt
In August 2011, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (JPMorgan) as the administrative agent, Comerica Bank and HSBC Bank USA, National Association as syndication agents, and the lenders party thereto. In August 2012 and again in November 2014, the Company amended and restated in its entirety the Credit Agreement. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is a five-year, $400,000 secured revolving credit facility that contains a $75,000 sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $5,000 sublimit for swingline loans and matures on November 13, 2019. Subject to customary conditions and the approval of any lender whose commitment would be increased, the Company has the option to increase the maximum principal amount available under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by up to an additional $200,000, resulting in maximum available principal amount of $600,000. None of the lenders under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement has committed at this time or is obligated to provide any such increase in the commitments. In addition to allowing borrowings in US dollars, the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides a $150,000 sublimit for borrowings in Euros, British pounds and any other currency that is subsequently approved by JPMorgan, each lender and the issuing bank. At the Company's option, revolving loans issued under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement will initially bear interest at either the adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) for 30 days (0.18% at March 31, 2015) plus 1.25% per annum, in the case of LIBOR borrowings, or at the alternate base rate plus 0.25% per annum, and thereafter the interest rate will fluctuate between adjusted LIBOR plus 1.25% per annum and adjusted LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum (or between the alternate base rate plus 0.25% per annum and the alternate base rate plus 1.00% per annum), based upon the Company's total adjusted leverage ratio at such time. In addition, the Company will initially be required to pay fees of 0.175% per annum on the daily amount of the revolving credit facility, and thereafter the fee rate will fluctuate between 0.175% and 0.30% per annum, based upon the Company's total adjusted leverage ratio.
The Company's obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company's existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (other than certain immaterial subsidiaries, foreign subsidiaries, foreign subsidiary holding companies and specified excluded subsidiaries) (the Guarantors), and is secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors, including all or a portion of the equity interests of certain of the Company's domestic and first-tier foreign subsidiaries.
The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains financial covenants which include: the total adjusted leverage ratio must not be greater than 3.25 to 1.00; the sum of the consolidated annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) and annual rental expense, divided by the sum of the annual interest expense and the annual rental expense must be greater than 2.25 to 1.00; and other customary limitations. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain other covenants which include: the maximum amount paid for capital expenditures may not exceed $110,000 per year if the total adjusted leverage ratio is equal to or exceeds 2.75 to 1.00; the maximum additional unsecured debt may not exceed $200,000; the Company may not have aggregate ERISA events that are considered materially adverse; the Company may not have a change of control (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement); and no restrictions on dividends, share repurchases or acquisitions if the total adjusted leverage ratio does not exceed 2.75 to 1.00.
At March 31, 2015, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $100. As a result, the unused balance under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was approximately $399,900 at March 31, 2015. In August 2012 the Company incurred approximately $1,800 of deferred financing costs which are included in prepaid expenses and amortized over the term of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement using the straight-line method. In November 2014, the Company incurred approximately $800 of additional deferred financing costs which were combined with the remaining unamortized balance from the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement included in prepaid expenses. The combined amount is being amortized over the term of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement using the straight-line method.
In August 2013, Deckers (Beijing) Trading Co., LTD, a fully owned subsidiary, entered into a credit facility in China (China Credit Facility) that provides for an uncommitted revolving line of credit of up to CNY 60,000, or approximately $10,000, in the quarters ending September 30 and December 31 and CNY 20,000, or approximately $3,300, in the quarters ending March 31 and June 30.  The China Credit Facility is payable on demand and subject to annual review and renewal.  The obligations under the China Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company for 110% of the facility amount in USD. In December 2013, the China Credit Facility was revised to provide for the uncommitted revolving line of credit of up to CNY 60,000 to be extended to the entire year. In October 2014, the China Credit Facility was amended (Amended China Credit Facility) to include, among other things, an extension of the aggregate period of borrowing from 12 months to 18 months. At March 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $4,900 of outstanding borrowings under the Amended China Credit Facility.  Interest is based on the People’s Bank of China rate, which was 5.35% at March 31, 2015.
In July 2014, the Company obtained a mortgage secured by its corporate headquarters property for approximately $33,900.  At March 31, 2015 the outstanding balance under the mortgage was approximately $33,600, which includes approximately $500 in short-term borrowings and approximately $33,100 in mortgage payable in the consolidated balance sheet. The mortgage has a fixed interest rate of 4.928%.  Payments include interest and principal in an amount that amortizes the principal balance over a 30-year period, however the loan will mature and have a balloon payment due in 15 years of approximately $23,400.  Minimum principal payments over the next 5 years are approximately $2,700. In December 2014, the mortgage financial covenants were amended to be consistent with the financial covenants of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as discussed above.

In the event that a Buyer does not purchase certain minimum commitments on or before certain target dates, the supplier may retain a portion of the advance deposit until the amounts of the commitments are fulfilled. These agreements may result in unconditional purchase obligations if a Buyer does not meet the minimum purchase requirements. In the event that a Buyer does not purchase such minimum commitments by the target dates, the Company shall be responsible for compliance with any and all minimum purchase commitments under these contracts, and the Company would make additional deposit payments towards the purchase of the remaining minimum commitments and such additional deposits would be returned as the Buyers purchase the remaining minimum commitments. The contracts do not permit net settlement. Minimum commitments for these contracts as of March 31, 2015 were as follows:

        Indemnification.    The Company has agreed to indemnify certain of its licensees, distributors, and promotional partners in connection with claims related to the use of the Company's intellectual property. The terms of such agreements range up to 5 years initially and generally do not provide for a limitation on the maximum potential future payments. From time to time, the Company also agrees to indemnify its licensees, distributors and promotional partners in connection with claims that the Company’s products infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties.  These agreements may or may not be made pursuant to a written contract. In addition, from time to time, the Company also agrees to standard indemnification provisions in commercial agreements in the ordinary course of business.
Management believes the likelihood of any payments under any of these arrangements is remote and would be immaterial. This determination was made based on a prior history of insignificant claims and related payments. There are no currently pending claims relating to indemnification matters involving the Company's intellectual property.
Contingent Consideration.    In July 2011, the Company acquired the Sanuk brand, and the total purchase price included contingent consideration payments. As of March 31, 2015, the remaining contingent consideration payment, which has no maximum, is 40.0% of the Sanuk brand gross profit in calendar year 2015 and is to be paid within 60 days following the end of the performance period.
As of March 31, 2015, March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had total contingent consideration for the acquisition of the Sanuk brand of approximately $24,200, $28,000 and $46,200, respectively, of which approximately $24,200, $0 and $18,600 is included within other accrued expenses and approximately $0, $28,000 and $27,600 is included within other long-term liabilities at March 31, 2015, March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets.
In September 2012, the Company acquired Hoka, and the total purchase price included contingent consideration payments with a maximum of $2,000 which is based on the Hoka brand's net sales for calendar years 2013 through 2017, of which approximately $500 has been paid. As of March 31, 2015, March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 contingent consideration for the acquisition of the Hoka brand of approximately $1,500, $1,800 and $1,800, respectively are included within other accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 1 for further information on the contingent consideration amounts.
Future Capital Commitments. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $8,000 of material commitments for future capital expenditures primarily related to equipment costs of its new distribution center.
Stockholders' Equity
Stockholders' Equity
Stockholders' Equity
In May 2006, the Company adopted the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan), which was amended May 9, 2007. The primary purpose of the 2006 Plan is to encourage ownership in the Company by key personnel, whose long-term service is considered essential to the Company's continued success. The 2006 Plan provides for 6,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock that are reserved for issuance to employees, directors, or consultants. The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the 2006 Plan through the exercise of incentive stock options is 4,500,000. Pursuant to the Deferred Stock Unit Compensation Plan, a Sub Plan under the 2006 Plan, a participant may elect to defer settlement of their outstanding unvested awards until such time as elected by the participant.
The Company has elected to grant NSUs annually to key personnel. The NSUs granted entitle the employee recipients to receive shares of common stock in the Company upon vesting of the NSUs. The vesting of most NSUs is subject to achievement of certain performance targets, with the remaining NSUs subject only to time restrictions. For the majority of NSUs granted in 2013 and after, if the performance goals are achieved, these awards vest in equal one-third installments at the end of each of the three years after the performance goals are achieved. For NSUs granted in 2012, the performance target was not met and, therefore, the awards did not vest.
The Company also has long-term incentive award agreements under the 2006 Plan for issuance of SARs and RSUs, which were awarded to certain executive officers of the Company. These awards vest subject to certain long-term performance objectives and certain long-term service conditions. One-half of the SAR and RSU awards vested 80% on December 31, 2010 and 20% on December 31, 2011, and, provided that the conditions are met, one-half of the SAR and RSU awards vest 80% on December 31, 2015 and 20% on December 31, 2016. The Company considers achievement of the remaining performance conditions as probable and is recognizing such compensation cost over the service period.
In June 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a long-term incentive award under its 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (Level III Awards). The shares under these awards were available for issuance to current and future members of the Company's management team, including the Company's named executive officers. These awards were to vest on December 31, 2014 subject to certain long-term performance objectives and certain long-term service conditions. Under this program, the Company granted a maximum amount of 275,000 RSUs during the year ended December 31, 2011. For all Level III Awards granted, the performance objectives were not met and, therefore, the awards did not vest.
In May 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a long-term incentive award under its 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (2012 LTIP Awards). The shares under these awards were available for issuance to current and future members of the Company's management team, including the Company's named executive officers. Each recipient received a specified maximum number of RSUs, each of which represents the right to receive one share of the Company's common stock. These awards vest subject to certain long-term performance objectives and certain long-term service conditions. The awards will vest on December 31, 2015 only if the Company meets certain revenue targets ranging between $2,200,000 and $2,900,000 and certain diluted earnings per share targets ranging between $7.00 and $10.50 for the year ended December 31, 2015. No vesting of any 2012 LTIP Awards will occur if either of the threshold performance criteria is not met for the year ending December 31, 2015. To the extent financial performance is achieved above the threshold levels, the number of RSUs that will vest will increase up to the maximum number of units granted under the award. Under this program, the Company granted awards that contain a maximum amount of 352,000 RSUs during the year ended December 31, 2012. The grant date fair value of these RSUs was $56.12 per share. As of March 31, 2015 and 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company did not believe that the achievement of the performance objectives of these awards was probable, and therefore the Company did not recognize compensation expense for these awards. If the performance objectives become probable, the Company will then begin recording an expense for the 2012 LTIP Awards and would recognize a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period they become probable. As of March 31, 2015, the cumulative amount would be approximately $12,000 based on the maximum number of units if the performance objectives were probable.
In December 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a long-term incentive award under its 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (2013 LTIP Awards). The shares under these awards were available for issuance to current and future members of the Company's management team, including the Company's named executive officers. Each recipient received a specified maximum number of RSUs, each of which represents the right to receive one share of the Company's common stock. These awards vest subject to certain long-term performance objectives and certain long-term service conditions. The recipients of these awards are divided into two participant groups, revenue generating and non-revenue generating. The awards for the non-revenue generating participants will vest on March 31, 2016 only if the Company meets certain revenue targets ranging between $2,290,000 and $2,558,000 and certain EBITDA targets ranging between $372,000 and $415,000 for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016. The awards for the revenue generating participants will vest on March 31, 2016 only if the Company achieves EBITDA of $350,000 and the respective revenue by brand and channel managed by each participant meets certain revenue targets that are tailored to each brand and channel for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016. No vesting of any 2013 LTIP Awards will occur if either of the threshold performance criteria is not met for the year ending March 31, 2016. To the extent financial performance is achieved above the threshold levels, the number of RSUs that will vest will increase up to the maximum number of units granted under the award. Under this program, the Company granted awards that contain a maximum amount of 156,000 RSUs during the year ended December 31, 2013. The grant date fair value of these RSUs was $84.52 per share. As of March 31, 2015, the Company did not believe that the achievement of the performance objectives of these awards was probable, and therefore the Company reversed compensation expense accrued in prior periods. The amount reversed was immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial statements. If the performance objectives become probable, the Company will then begin recording an expense for the 2013 LTIP Awards and would recognize a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period they become probable. As of March 31, 2015, the cumulative amount would be approximately $2,000 based on the maximum number of units if the performance objectives were probable.
In September 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a long-term incentive award (2015 LTIP Awards) under its 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. The shares under these awards were available for issuance to current and future members of the Company's leadership team, including the Company's named executive officers. Each recipient received a specified maximum number of RSUs, each of which represents the right to receive one share of the Company's common stock. These awards vest subject to certain long-term performance objectives and certain long-term service conditions. The awards will vest on March 31, 2017 only if the Company meets certain revenue targets ranging between approximately $2,155,000 and approximately $2,447,000 and certain EBITDA targets ranging between approximately $336,000 and approximately $394,000 for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017. No vesting of any 2015 LTIP Awards will occur if either of the threshold performance criteria is not met for the year ending March 31, 2017. To the extent financial performance is achieved above the threshold levels, the number of RSUs that will vest will increase up to the maximum number of units granted under the award. Under this new program, the Company granted awards that contain a maximum amount of approximately 160,000 RSUs during the year ended March 31, 2015. The average grant date fair value of these RSUs was $98.29 per share. As of March 31, 2015, future unrecognized compensation cost for the 2015 LTIP Awards, excluding estimated forfeitures, was approximately $6,100. As of March 31, 2015, based on the Company's long-range forecast, the Company believed that the achievement of at least the threshold performance objectives of these awards was probable, and therefore the Company recognized compensation expense accordingly.
In June 2012, the Company approved a stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $200,000 of the Company's common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other factors. The program did not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and the program may be suspended at any time at the Company's discretion. As of February 28, 2015, the Company had repurchased approximately 3,823,000 shares under this program, for approximately $200,000, or an average price of $52.31. As of February 28, 2015, the Company had repurchased the full amount authorized under this program.
In January 2015, the Company approved a new stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $200,000 of the Company's common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other factors. The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and the program may be suspended at any time at the Company's discretion. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had repurchased approximately 377,000 shares under this program, for approximately $27,900, or an average price of $74.09 leaving the remaining approved amount at $172,100.
On a quarterly basis, the Company grants fully-vested shares of its common stock to each of its outside directors. The fair value of such shares is expensed on the date of issuance.

The maximum contractual term is 10 and 15 years from the date of grant for those SARs with final vesting dates of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The number of SARs expected to vest is based on the probability of achieving certain performance conditions and is also reduced by estimated forfeitures. The difference between the amount outstanding and the amount expected to vest and exercisable at March 31, 2015 was estimated forfeitures for estimated failure to meet the long-term service conditions.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts and Hedging
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts and Hedging
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts and Hedging
The Company had foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash-flow hedges with notional amounts totaling approximately $46,000, $64,000 and $77,000 as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively. These contracts were held by four counterparties and, as of March 31, 2015, were expected to mature over the next 12 months.
The nonperformance risk of the Company and the counterparties did not have a material impact on the fair value of the derivatives. During the year ended March 31, 2015, the ineffective portion relating to these hedges was immaterial and the hedges remained effective as of March 31, 2015. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported in other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of March 31, 2015, the total amount in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (see Note 10) was expected to be reclassified into income within the next 15 months.
Subsequent to March 31, 2015, the Company entered into non-designated derivative contracts with notional amounts totaling approximately $42,000 and designated derivative contracts with notional amounts totaling approximately $31,000. All derivative contracts were held by six counterparties.

The Company's accounting policies of the segments below are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 1), except that the Company does not allocate corporate overhead costs or non-operating income and expenses to segments. The Company evaluates segment performance primarily based on net sales and income (loss) from operations. The Company's reportable segments include the strategic business units for the worldwide wholesale operations of the UGG brand, Teva brand, Sanuk brand, and its other brands, its E-Commerce business and its retail store business. The wholesale operations of each brand are managed separately because each requires different marketing, research and development, design, sourcing, and sales strategies. The E-Commerce and retail store segments are managed separately because they are Direct-to-Consumer sales, while the brand segments are wholesale sales. The income (loss) from operations for each of the segments includes only those costs which are specifically related to each segment, which consist primarily of cost of sales, costs for research and development, design, selling and marketing, depreciation, amortization, and the costs of employees and their respective expenses that are directly related to each business segment. The unallocated corporate overhead costs include: costs of the distribution centers, certain executive and stock compensation, accounting and finance, legal, information technology, human resources, and facilities costs, among others. During the quarter ended (transition period) March 31, 2014, certain operating expenses were reclassified between segments. This change in segment reporting only changed the presentation within the below table and did not impact the Company's consolidated financial statements for any period. The segment information for prior periods have been adjusted retrospectively to conform to the current period presentation.
Beginning January 1, 2013, all gross profit derived from the sales to third parties of the E-Commerce and retail stores segments is reported in income from operations of the E-Commerce and retail stores segments, respectively. 
During the year ended March 31, 2015, the Company converted seven of its retail stores in China to partner retail stores, whereby, upon conversion, the stores became wholly-owned and operated by local, third-party companies within China.  These conversions included the assignment of the lease and the sale of both the Company's on-hand inventory and store leasehold improvements to the operator.  As of the date of conversion, partner retail stores sales are included in the UGG brand wholesale segment and not included in the retail stores segment.
The Company's other brands include Ahnu®, Hoka, MOZO® and TSUBO®. The results of operations for Hoka are included in the other brands segments beginning from the acquisition date of September 27, 2012. The wholesale operations of the Company's other brands are included as one reportable segment, "other brands wholesale", presented in the figures below. Business segment information is summarized as follows:

Inter-segment sales from the Company’s wholesale segments to the Company’s E-Commerce and retail stores segments are at the Company’s cost, and there is no inter-segment profit on these inter-segment sales.  Income (loss) from operations of the wholesale segments does not include any inter-segment gross profit from sales to the E-Commerce and retail stores segments.
The assets allocable to each segment include accounts receivable, inventory, fixed assets, goodwill, other intangible assets, and certain other assets that are specifically identifiable with one of the Company's segments. Unallocated assets are the assets not specifically related to the segments and include cash and cash equivalents, deferred tax assets, and various other assets shared by the Company's segments.

* No other country's long-lived assets comprised more than 10% of total long-lived assets as of March 31, 2015, March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The Company sells its products to customers throughout the US and to foreign customers located in Europe, Asia, Canada, Australia, and Latin America, among other regions. International sales were 35.9%, 32.7%, 33.0% and 31.2%, of the Company's total net sales for the year ended March 31, 2015, quarter ended March 31, 2014, and the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the year ended March 31, 2015, quarter ended March 31, 2014, and the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, no single foreign country comprised more than 10% of total sales.
Management performs regular evaluations concerning the ability of its customers to satisfy their obligations and records a provision for doubtful accounts based upon these evaluations. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales in the year ended March 31, 2015, quarter ended March 31, 2014, and the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. As of March 31, 2015, March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the Company had one customer representing 11.8%, 11.8% and 11.4% of net trade accounts receivable, respectively. At March 31, 2015, March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the Company had a second customer representing 11.0%, 11.4% and 19.7% of net trade accounts receivable, respectively.
The Company's production is concentrated at a limited number of independent contractor factories in Asia. Sheepskin is the principal raw material for certain UGG products and the majority of sheepskin is purchased from two tanneries in China, which is sourced primarily from Australia and the United Kingdom. We began using a new raw material, UGGpure, a wool woven into a durable backing, in some of our UGG products in 2013 and which we currently purchase from one supplier. The other materials used by the Company in production are sourced primarily in Asia. The Company's operations are subject to the customary risks of doing business abroad, including, but not limited to, currency fluctuations, customs duties and related fees, various import controls and other nontariff barriers, restrictions on the transfer of funds, labor unrest and strikes and, in certain parts of the world, political instability. The supply of sheepskin can be adversely impacted by weather conditions, disease, and harvesting decisions that are completely outside the Company's control. Further, the price of sheepskin is impacted by demand, industry, and competitors.
A portion of the Company's cash and cash equivalents are held as cash in operating accounts that are with third-party financial institutions. These balances, at times, exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limits. While the Company regularly monitors the cash balances in its operating accounts and adjusts the balances as appropriate, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets.
The remainder of the Company's cash equivalents is invested in interest bearing funds managed by third-party investment management institutions. These investments can include US treasury bonds and securities, money market funds, and municipal bonds, among other investments. Certain of these investments are subject to general credit, liquidity, market, and interest rate risks. Investment risk has been and may further be exacerbated by US mortgage defaults, credit and liquidity issues, and sovereign debt concerns in Europe, which have affected various sectors of the financial markets. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in its operating accounts, invested cash and cash equivalents.

(1)
The additions to the allowance for doubtful accounts represent the estimates of our bad debt expense based upon the factors for which we evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable, with actual recoveries netted into additions. Deductions are the actual write offs of the receivables.
(2)
The additions to the allowance for sales discounts represent estimates of discounts to be taken by our customers based upon the amount of available outstanding terms discounts in the year-end aging. Deductions are the actual discounts taken by our customers.
(3)
The additions to the allowance for returns represent estimates of returns based upon our historical returns experience. Deductions are the actual returns of products.
(4)
The additions to the chargeback allowance represent chargebacks taken in the respective year as well as an estimate of chargebacks related to sales in the respective reporting period that will be taken subsequent to the respective reporting period. Deductions are the actual chargebacks written off against outstanding accounts receivable. For the fiscal years 2015, 2013 and 2012 and the transition period quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company has estimated the additions and deductions by netting each quarter's change and summing the four quarters for the respective year.
   
See accompanying report of independent registered public accounting firm.
The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
The Company and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Deckers Outdoor Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Company"). Accordingly, all references herein to Deckers Outdoor Corporation or "Deckers" include the consolidated results of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Deckers Outdoor Corporation 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.  The Company's business is seasonal, with the highest percentage of UGG® brand net sales occurring in the quarters ending September 30 and December 31 and the highest percentage of Teva® and Sanuk® brand net sales occurring in the quarters ending March 31 and June 30 of each year. The other brands do not have a significant seasonal impact on the Company.
Prior to April 2, 2012, the Company owned 51% of a joint venture with an affiliate of Stella International Holdings Limited (Stella International) for the primary purpose of opening and operating retail stores for the UGG brand in China. Stella International is also one of the Company's major manufacturers in China. On April 2, 2012, the Company purchased the 49% noncontrolling interest owned by Stella International for a total purchase price of approximately $20,000. The Company accounted for this transaction as an acquisition of the remaining interest of an entity that had already been majority-owned by the Company. The purchase resulted in a reduction to additional paid in capital of $14,037 representing excess purchase price over the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest. Prior to this purchase, the Company already had a controlling interest in this entity, and therefore, the subsidiary had been and continues to be consolidated with the Company's operations.
In May 2012, the Company purchased a noncontrolling interest in the Hoka One One® (Hoka) brand, a privately held footwear company, which was accounted for as an equity method investment. In September 2012, the Company acquired the remaining ownership interest in Hoka. The acquisition of Hoka was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and does not have a significant seasonal impact on the Company.
In February 2014, our Board of Directors approved a change in the Company's fiscal year end from December 31 to March 31. The change was intended to better align the Company's planning, financial and reporting functions with the seasonality of the business. The 2015, 2013 and 2012 fiscal years ended on March 31, 2015, December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The transition period was the quarter ended March 31, 2014 to coincide with the change in our fiscal year end.
In July 2014, the Company acquired its UGG brand distributor that sold to retailers in Germany and now operates a wholesale business in Germany through the newly acquired subsidiary. The acquisition included certain intangible and tangible assets and the assumption of liabilities. The purchase price of the acquisition was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the Company acquired inventory and certain intangible assets, including the trade name related to the Koolaburra® brand, a sheepskin and wool based footwear brand. The purchase price of the acquisition was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
  
We sell our brands through quality domestic retailers and international distributors and retailers, as well as directly to our end-user consumers through our E-Commerce business and retail stores. Independent third parties manufacture all of our products.
Inventories
Inventories, principally finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market (net realizable value). Cost includes initial molds and tooling that are amortized over the life of the mold in cost of sales. Cost also includes shipping and handling fees and costs, which are subsequently expensed to cost of sales. Market values are determined by historical experience with discounted sales, industry trends, and the retail environment.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes wholesale, E-Commerce, and international distributor revenue when products are shipped and retail revenue at the point of sale. All sales are recognized when the customer takes title and assumes risk of loss, collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the sales price is fixed or determinable. For wholesale and international distributor sales, allowances for estimated returns, discounts, chargebacks, and bad debts are provided for when related revenue is recorded. For E-Commerce sales, allowances for estimated returns and bad debts are provided for when related revenue is recorded. For retail sales, allowances for estimated returns are provided for when related revenue is recorded. Amounts billed for shipping and handling costs are recorded as a component of net sales, while the related costs paid to third-party shipping companies are recorded as a cost of sales. The Company presents revenue net of taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.
Accounting for Long-Lived Assets
Other long-lived assets, such as machinery and equipment, leasehold improvements, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. The Company uses the straight-line method for depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, except for certain intangible assets where the Company can reliably determine the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets will be consumed.
At least quarterly, the Company evaluates whether any impairment triggering events, including the following, have occurred which would require such asset groups to be tested for impairment:
A significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset group;
a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset group is being used or in its physical condition;
a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset group, including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator;
an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset group;
a current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset group; or
a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset group will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life.
When an impairment triggering event has occurred, the Company tests for recoverability of the asset group's carrying value using estimates of undiscounted future cash flows based on the existing service potential of the applicable asset group. In determining the service potential of a long-lived asset group, the Company considers its remaining useful life, cash-flow generating capacity, and physical output capacity. These estimates include the undiscounted cash flows associated with future expenditures necessary to maintain the existing service potential. Long-lived assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. The Company assesses potential impairment of its retail group long-lived assets by comparing trailing twelve month (TTM) store cash flows to the current carrying value of the store's long-lived assets. Stores that have been opened for more than one year, or have otherwise been identified by management as having one or more indicators of impairment, with TTM cash flows less than the current carrying amount of the store's long-lived assets are then reviewed to determine if an impairment exists. An impairment loss, if any, would only reduce the carrying amount of long-lived assets in the group based on the fair value of the group assets.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist primarily of goodwill, trademarks, customer and distributor relationships, patents, lease rights, and non-compete agreements arising from the application of purchase accounting. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized and reviewed for impairment. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least annually, as of December 31, except for the Teva trademarks and Sanuk goodwill, which are tested as of October 31.
The assessment of goodwill impairment involves valuing the Company's reporting units that carry goodwill. Currently, the Company's reporting units are the same as the Company's operating segments. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company does not calculate the fair value of the reporting unit unless the Company determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. If the Company determines this, then the first quantitative step is a comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is not impaired. If the fair value of the reporting unit is below the carrying amount, then a second step is performed to measure the amount of the impairment, if any. The test for impairment involves the use of estimates related to the fair values of the business operations with which goodwill is associated and the fair values of the intangible assets with indefinite lives.
The Company also evaluates the fair values of other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives in relation to their carrying values. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative assessment of the indefinite life intangible asset. The Company does not calculate the fair value of the indefinite life intangible unless the Company determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount, then the Company compares the fair value of the indefinite life intangible to its carrying amount, and if the fair value of the indefinite life intangible exceeds its carrying amount, no impairment charge will be recognized. If the fair value of the indefinite life intangible is less than the carrying amount, the Company will record an impairment charge to write-down the intangible asset to its fair value.
Determining fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets is highly subjective and requires the use of estimates and assumptions. The Company uses estimates including future revenues, royalty rates, discount rates, attrition rates, and market multiples, among others. The Company also considers the following factors:
the assets' ability to continue to generate income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods;
changes in consumer demand or acceptance of the related brand names, products, or features associated with the assets; and
other considerations that could affect fair value or otherwise indicate potential impairment.
In addition, facts and circumstances could change, including further deterioration of general economic conditions or the retail environment, customers reducing orders in response to such conditions, and increased competition. These or other factors could result in changes to the calculation of fair value which could result in impairment of the Company's remaining goodwill and other intangible assets. Changes in any one or more of these estimates and assumptions could produce different financial results.
Property and Equipment, Depreciation and Amortization
Property and equipment has a useful life expectancy of at least one year. Property and equipment includes tangible, non-consumable items owned by the Company valued at or above $3, certain computer software costs and internal or external computer system consulting work valued at or above $3 as defined below, and portable electronic devices valued at or above $1.5. Tangible, non-consumable items below these amounts are expensed. The value includes the purchase price, as well as costs to acquire (shipping and handling), sales tax, install (excluding site preparation costs), secure, and prepare the item for its intended use.
Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives. Machinery and equipment has estimated useful lives ranging from two to ten years, and furniture and fixtures has estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years.  Capitalized website costs, which are included in the machinery & equipment category, are immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial statements. Leasehold improvements are amortized to their residual value on the straight-line basis over their estimated economic useful lives or the lease term, whichever is shorter. Leasehold improvement lives range from one to fifteen years. Buildings are depreciated over 39 years. The Company allocates depreciation and amortization of property, plant, and equipment to cost of sales and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses. The majority of the Company's depreciation and amortization is included in SG&A expenses due to the nature of its operations. Most of the Company's depreciation and amortization is from its warehouses, its corporate headquarters and its retail stores. The Company outsources all manufacturing; therefore, the amount allocated to cost of sales is not material.
Fair Value Measurements
The fair values of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, income tax receivable and other current assets, short-term borrowings, trade accounts payable, accrued payroll, other accrued expenses, income taxes payable and the value added tax payable approximate the carrying values due to the relatively short maturities of these instruments. The fair values of the Company's long-term liabilities, other than contingent consideration, recalculated using current interest rates, would not significantly differ from the carrying values. The fair value of the contingent consideration related to acquisitions and of the Company's derivatives are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Changes in fair value resulting from either accretion or changes in discount rates or in the expectations of achieving the performance targets are recorded in SG&A expenses. The Company records the fair value of assets or liabilities associated with derivative instruments and hedging activities in other current assets or other accrued expenses, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets.
The inputs used in measuring fair value are prioritized into the following hierarchy:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
Stock Compensation
All of the Company's stock compensation issuances are classified within stockholders' equity. Stock compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is expensed ratably over the vesting period. The Company recognizes expense only for those awards that management deems probable of achieving the performance and service objectives. Determining the expense of share-based awards requires judgment, including estimating the percentage of awards that will be forfeited and probabilities of meeting the awards' performance criteria. If actual forfeitures differ significantly from the estimates or if probabilities change during a period, stock compensation expense and the Company's results of operations could be materially impacted.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
In 2010, the Company established a nonqualified deferred compensation program that permits a select group of management employees to defer earnings to a future date on a nonqualified basis. For each plan year, on behalf of the Company, the Company's Board of Directors (the Board) may, but is not required to, contribute any amount it desires to any participant under this program. The Company's contribution will be determined by the Board annually. As of March 31, 2015, no such contribution has been approved by the Board . The value of the deferred compensation is recognized based on the fair value of the participants' accounts. The Company has established a rabbi trust for the purpose of supporting the benefits payable under this program.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. 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. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to inventory write-downs, accounts receivable allowances, returns liabilities, stock compensation, performance based compensation, impairment assessments, depreciation and amortization, income tax liabilities and uncertain tax positions, fair value of financial instruments, and fair values of acquired intangibles, assets and liabilities, including estimated contingent consideration payments. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Research and Development Costs
All research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs amounted to $20,872, $4,486, $19,257 and $15,617 for the year ended March 31, 2015, quarter ended March 31, 2014 and the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and are included in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Advertising, Marketing, and Promotion Costs
Advertising production costs are expensed the first time the advertisement is run. All other costs of advertising, marketing, and promotion are expensed as incurred.
Rent Expense
Rent expense is recorded using the straight-line method to account for scheduled rental increases or rent holidays. Lease incentives for tenant improvement allowances are recorded as reductions of rent expense over the lease term. The rental payments under some of our retail store leases are based on a minimum rental plus a percentage of the store's sales in excess of stipulated amounts. Rent expenses are included SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss)
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 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 in 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 recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company accounts for interest and penalties generated by income tax contingencies as interest expense and SG&A expenses, respectively in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Net Income (Loss) per Share Attributable to Deckers Outdoor Corporation Common Stockholders
Basic net income (loss) per share represents net income (loss) attributable to Deckers Outdoor Corporation divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share represents net income (loss) attributable to Deckers Outdoor Corporation divided by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding, including the dilutive impact of potential issuances of common stock.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company considers the US dollar as its functional currency. The Company has certain wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the US dollar. In most cases, the Company's foreign subsidiaries' local currency is the same as the designated functional currency. The Company holds a portion of its cash and other monetary assets and liabilities in currencies other than its subsidiary's functional currency, and is exposed to financial statement transaction gains and losses as a result of remeasuring the operating results and financial positions into their functional currency. The Company remeasures these monetary assets and liabilities using the exchange rate as of the end of the reporting period, which results in gains and losses that are included in SG&A expenses in the results of operations as incurred, except for gains and losses arising on intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term investment nature. 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 of the end of the reporting period, which results in financial statement translation gains and losses in other comprehensive income (loss)(OCI).
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies and has international sales and expenses denominated in foreign currencies, subjecting the Company to foreign currency risk. The Company may enter into foreign currency forward or option contracts, generally with maturities of 15 months or less, to reduce the volatility of cash flows primarily related to forecasted revenue denominated in certain foreign currencies. In addition, the Company utilizes foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, primarily intercompany balances. The Company does not use foreign currency contracts for trading purposes.
Certain of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts are designated cash flow hedges of forecasted intercompany sales and are subject to foreign currency exposures. These contracts allow the Company to sell Euros, British Pounds and Yen in exchange for US dollars at specified contract rates. Forward contracts are used to hedge forecasted intercompany sales over specific quarters. Changes in the fair value of these forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders' equity, and are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) during the period which approximates the time the corresponding third-party sales occur. The Company may also enter into foreign exchange contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments for financial accounting purposes. These contracts are generally entered into to offset the gains and losses on certain intercompany balances until the expected time of repayment. Accordingly, any gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of the non-designated contracts are reported in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). The gains and losses on these contracts generally offset the gains and losses associated with the underlying foreign currency-denominated balances, which are also reported in SG&A expenses. See Note 8 for the impact of derivative instruments and hedging activities on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
The Company records the assets or liabilities associated with derivative instruments and hedging activities at fair value based on Level 2 inputs in other current assets or other current liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. The Level 2 inputs consist of forward spot rates at the end of the reporting period. The accounting for gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value depends on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting.
For all hedging relationships, the Company formally documents the hedging relationship and its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the hedging instrument, the hedged transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged, how the hedging instrument's effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively, and a description of the method used to measure ineffectiveness. The Company factors the nonperformance risk of the Company and the counterparty into the fair value measurements of its derivatives. The Company also formally assesses, both at the inception of the hedging relationship and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging relationships are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged transactions. The Company assesses hedge effectiveness and measures hedge ineffectiveness at least quarterly. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as part of a cash flow hedging relationship, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported in OCI and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings.
The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when it determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged risk, the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, the cash flow hedge is designated because a forecasted transaction is not probable of occurring, or management determines to remove the designation of the cash flow hedge. In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, the Company continues to carry the derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet and recognizes any subsequent changes in its fair value in earnings. When it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting and recognizes immediately in earnings gains and losses that were accumulated in OCI related to the hedging relationship.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is the total of net earnings and all other non-owner changes in equity. Except for net income (loss), foreign currency translation adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges, the Company does not have any transactions and other economic events that qualify as comprehensive income (loss).
Business Segment Reporting
Management of the Company has determined its reportable segments are its strategic business units and it is by these segments that information is reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The six reportable segments are the UGG, Teva, Sanuk and other brands wholesale divisions, the E-Commerce business, and the retail store business. The CODM is the Principal Executive Officer. The Company performs an annual analysis of the appropriateness of its reportable segments. Information related to the Company's business segments is summarized in Note 11.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On May 28, 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in US GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on April 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting. Subsequent to March 31, 2015, the FASB proposed a one year deferral of the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09.

Subsequent to March 31, 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires an entity to present debt issuance costs on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. Prior to the issuance of the standard, debt issuance costs were required to be presented in the balance sheet as a deferred charge (i.e., an asset). This ASU is effective for the Company on April 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this ASU will only change the presentation of prepaid expenses, other assets and short-term borrowings in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company is considering early adoption of this update during its fiscal year 2016.
