Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Description of the Business
Under Armour, Inc. is a developer, marketer and distributor of branded performance apparel, footwear and accessories. These products are sold worldwide and worn by athletes at all levels, from youth to professional on playing fields around the globe, as well as by consumers with active lifestyles.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Under Armour, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements was condensed or omitted for the interim periods presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations were included. All intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 is derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10-K”), which should be read in conjunction with these consolidated financial statements. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013 or any other portions thereof.
In June 2013, the Company signed an agreement to acquire certain assets of the Company's distributor in Mexico. The acquisition is expected to close in January 2014. Following the acquisition, the Company will sell its products in Mexico directly rather than through a distributor.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are due from large sporting goods retailers. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition, and generally, collateral is not required. The most significant customers that accounted for a large portion of net revenues and accounts receivable were as follows:
Customer A | Customer B | Customer C | ||||||
Net revenues | ||||||||
Nine months ended September 30, 2013 | 17.2 | % | 5.5 | % | 5.2 | % | ||
Nine months ended September 30, 2012 | 17.5 | % | 6.0 | % | 5.9 | % | ||
Accounts receivable | ||||||||
As of September 30, 2013 | 27.5 | % | 8.3 | % | 5.5 | % | ||
As of December 31, 2012 | 26.4 | % | 8.8 | % | 7.0 | % | ||
As of September 30, 2012 | 25.2 | % | 8.3 | % | 6.9 | % | ||
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
As of September 30, 2013, December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $2.9 million, $3.3 million and $3.2 million, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company charges certain customers shipping and handling fees. These fees are recorded in net revenues. The Company includes the majority of outbound handling costs as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. Outbound handling costs include costs associated with preparing goods to ship to customers and certain costs to operate the Company’s distribution facilities. These costs, included within selling, general and administrative expenses, were $13.8 million and $9.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $33.3 million and $24.0 million
5
for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company includes outbound freight costs associated with shipping goods to customers as a component of cost of goods sold.
Management Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates, including estimates relating to assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update which requires that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, with certain exceptions. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company believes the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2013, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update which requires companies to present either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In July 2012, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update which allows companies to assess qualitative factors to determine the likelihood of indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment and whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test currently required. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
3. Credit Facility and Long Term Debt
Credit Facility
The Company has a credit facility with certain lending institutions. The credit facility has a term of four years through March 2015 and provides for a committed revolving credit line of up to $300.0 million. The commitment amount under the revolving credit facility may be increased by an additional $50.0 million, subject to certain conditions and approvals as set forth in the credit agreement. No balances were outstanding under the revolving credit facility during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The credit facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes and is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries (other than trademarks and the land, buildings and other assets comprising the Company’s corporate headquarters) and by a pledge of 65% of the equity interests of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Up to $5.0 million of the facility may be used to support letters of credit, of which none were outstanding as of September 30, 2013 and 2012. The Company is required to maintain a certain leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio as set forth in the credit agreement. As of September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with these ratios. The credit agreement also provides the lenders with the ability to reduce the credit line amount, even if the Company is in compliance with all conditions of the credit agreement, upon a material adverse change to the business, properties, assets, financial condition or results of operations of the Company. The credit agreement contains a number of restrictions that limit the Company’s ability, among other things, and subject to certain limited exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness, pledge its assets as security, guaranty obligations of third parties, make investments, undergo a merger or consolidation, dispose of assets, or materially change its line of business. In addition, the credit agreement includes a cross default provision whereby an event of default under other debt obligations, as defined in the credit agreement, will be considered an event of default under the credit agreement.
Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest based on the daily balance outstanding at LIBOR (with no rate floor) plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.25% to 1.75%) or, in certain cases a base rate (based on a certain lending institution’s Prime Rate or as otherwise specified in the credit agreement, with no rate floor) plus an applicable margin (varying
6
from 0.25% to 0.75%). The credit facility also carries a commitment fee equal to the unused borrowings multiplied by an applicable margin (varying from 0.25% to 0.35%). The applicable margins are calculated quarterly and vary based on the Company’s leverage ratio as set forth in the credit agreement.
The credit facility included a $25.0 million term loan facility. In May 2011, the Company borrowed $25.0 million under the term loan facility to finance a portion of the acquisition of the Company's headquarters and repaid it in December 2012. The interest rate on the term loan was 1.7% and 1.6% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
Long Term Debt
The Company has long term debt agreements with various lenders to finance the acquisition or lease of qualifying capital investments. Loans under these agreements are collateralized by a first lien on the related assets acquired. As these agreements are not committed facilities, each advance is subject to approval by the lenders. Additionally, these agreements include a cross default provision whereby an event of default under other debt obligations, including the Company’s credit facility, will be considered an event of default under these agreements. These agreements require a prepayment fee if the Company pays outstanding amounts ahead of the scheduled terms. The terms of the credit facility limit the total amount of additional financing under these agreements to $40.0 million, of which $18.0 million was available for additional financing as of September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012, the outstanding principal balance under these agreements was $5.7 million, $11.9 million and $9.6 million, respectively. Currently, advances under these agreements bear interest rates which are fixed at the time of each advance. The weighted average interest rates on outstanding borrowings were 3.2% and 3.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 2.6% and 3.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
In July 2011, in connection with the Company’s acquisition of its corporate headquarters, the Company assumed a $38.6 million nonrecourse loan secured by a mortgage on the acquired property. The assumed loan had an original term of approximately 10 years with a scheduled maturity date of March 2013. The loan had an interest rate of 6.73%. As of September 30, 2012, the outstanding balance on the loan was $37.6 million. In addition, in connection with this loan, the Company was required to set aside amounts in reserve and cash collateral accounts. As of September 30, 2012, the restricted cash balance was $5.2 million. The Company had no restricted cash requirements as of September 30, 2013.
In December 2012, the Company repaid the remaining balance of the assumed loan of $37.7 million and entered into a $50.0 million loan collateralized by the land, buildings and tenant improvements comprising the Company's corporate headquarters. The new loan has a 7 year term and maturity date of December 2019. The loan bears interest at one month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.50%, and allows for prepayment without penalty. As of September 30, 2013, the outstanding balance on the loan was $48.5 million. The weighted average interest rate on the loan was 1.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Interest expense, net was $0.7 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $2.1 million and $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Interest expense includes the amortization of deferred financing costs and interest expense under the credit and long term debt facilities discussed above, as well as interest incurred in connection with the Company's interest rate swap contract.
The Company monitors the financial health and stability of its lenders under the revolving credit and long term debt facilities, however during any period of significant instability in the credit markets lenders could be negatively impacted in their ability to perform under these facilities.
4. Commitments and Contingencies
There were no significant changes to the contractual obligations reported in the 2012 Form 10-K other than those which occur in the normal course of business.
The Company is, from time to time, involved in routine legal, trade, and other regulatory matters incidental to its business. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of any such current proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
5. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The fair value accounting guidance outlines a valuation framework, creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures, and prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
7
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
Financial assets and (liabilities) measured at fair value are set forth in the table below:
September 30, 2013 | September 30, 2012 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
(In thousands) | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | ||||||||||||||||||
Derivative foreign currency forward contracts (see Note 7) | $ | — | $ | (55 | ) | $ | — | $ | — | $ | (1,344 | ) | $ | — | ||||||||||
Interest rate swap contract (see Note 7) | — | 835 | — | — | — | — | ||||||||||||||||||

Deferred Compensation Plan obligations | — | (3,112 | ) | — | — | (3,791 | ) | — | ||||||||||||||||
Fair values of the financial assets and liabilities listed above are determined using inputs that use as their basis readily observable market data that are actively quoted and are validated through external sources, including third-party pricing services and brokers. The foreign currency forward contracts represent gains and losses on derivative contracts, which is the net difference between the U.S. dollar value to be received or paid at the contracts’ settlement date and the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency to be sold or purchased at the current forward exchange rate. The interest rate swap contract represents gains and losses on the derivative contract, which is the net difference between the fixed interest to be paid and variable interest to be received over the term of the contract based on current market rates. The fair value of the trust owned life insurance (“TOLI”) policies held by the Rabbi Trust is based on the cash-surrender value of the life insurance policies, which are invested primarily in mutual funds and a separately managed fixed income fund. These investments are in the same funds and initially purchased in substantially the same amounts as the selected investments of participants in the Under Armour, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”), which represent the underlying liabilities to participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan. Liabilities under the Deferred Compensation Plan are recorded at amounts due to participants, based on the fair value of participants’ selected investments.
The carrying value of the Company's long term debt approximated its fair value as of September 30, 2013 and 2012. The fair value of the Company's long term debt was estimated based upon quoted prices for similar instruments (Level 2 input).
6. Stock-Based Compensation
During 2013, 0.7 million performance-based restricted stock units were awarded to certain officers and key employees under the Company's Amended and Restated 2005 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan. The performance-based restricted stock units have vesting conditions tied to the achievement of certain combined annual operating income targets for 2013 and 2014. Upon the achievement of the combined operating income targets, one third of the restricted stock units will vest in February 2015, one third will vest in February 2016 and the remaining one third will vest in February 2017. If certain lower levels of combined operating income for 2013 and 2014 are achieved, fewer or no restricted stock units will vest and the remaining restricted stock units will be forfeited. The Company assesses the probability of the achievement of the remaining operating income targets at the end of each reporting period. If it becomes probable that any remaining performance targets related to these performance-based restricted stock units will be achieved, a cumulative adjustment will be recorded as if ratable stock-based compensation expense had been recorded since the grant date. The Company deemed the achievement of certain combined operating income targets for 2013 and 2014 probable during the three months ended March 31, 2013.Additional stock based compensation of up to $3.6 million would have been recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, for these performance-based restricted stock units had the achievement of the remaining operating income targets been deemed probable.
During 2012, the Company granted performance-based restricted stock units with vesting conditions tied to the achievement of certain combined annual operating income targets for 2013 and 2014. As of March 31, 2013, the Company deemed the achievement of certain combined operating income targets for 2013 and 2014 probable and recorded a cumulative adjustment of $4.4 million for a portion of these awards during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Additional stock based compensation of up to $9.8 million would have been recorded from the grant date through September 30, 2013 for these performance-based restricted stock units had the achievement of the remaining operating income targets been deemed probable.
During 2011, the Company granted performance-based restricted stock units with vesting conditions tied to the achievement of certain combined annual operating income targets for 2012 and 2013. As of March 31, 2012, the Company deemed the achievement of certain combined operating income targets for 2012 and 2013 probable and recorded a cumulative adjustment of $2.4 million for a portion of these awards during the three months ended March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2013,
8
the Company deemed the achievement of certain higher combined operating income targets for 2012 and 2013 probable and recorded an additional cumulative adjustment of $4.6 million for a portion of these awards during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Additional stock based compensation of up to $5.8 million would have been recorded from the grant date through September 30, 2013 for these performance-based restricted stock units had the achievement of the remaining operating income targets been deemed probable.
7. Risk Management and Derivatives
Foreign Currency Risk Management
The Company is exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relating to transactions generated by its international subsidiaries in currencies other than their local currencies. These gains and losses are primarily driven by intercompany transactions. From time to time, the Company may elect to enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations primarily on intercompany transactions and projected inventory purchases for its various international subsidiaries.
As of September 30, 2013, the aggregate notional value of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was $39.0 million, which was comprised of Canadian Dollar/U.S. Dollar, Euro/U.S. Dollar, and Pound Sterling/Euro currency pairs with contract maturities of 1 month. The fair values of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts were liabilities of $55.5 thousand and $1.3 million as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and were included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts were assets of $4.8 thousand as of December 31, 2012, and were included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Refer to Note 5 for a discussion of the fair value measurements. Included in other income, net were the following amounts related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and derivative foreign currency forward contracts:

Realized derivative gains (losses) | (1,048 | ) | (2,105 | ) | 244 | (2,422 | ) | ||||||||
Interest Rate Risk Management
In order to maintain liquidity and fund business operations, the Company enters into long term debt arrangements with various lenders which bear a range of fixed and variable rates of interest. The nature and amount of the Company's long-term debt can be expected to vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. The Company may elect to enter into interest rate swap contracts to reduce the impact associated with interest rate fluctuations. In December 2012, the Company began utilizing an interest rate swap contract to convert a portion of variable rate debt under the $50.0 million loan to fixed rate debt. The contract pays fixed and receives variable rates of interest based on one-month LIBOR and has a maturity date of December 2019. The interest rate swap contract is accounted for as a cash flow hedge and accordingly, the effective portion of the changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified into interest expense over the life of the underlying debt obligation. Refer to Note 3 for a discussion of long term debt.
As of September 30, 2013, the notional value of the Company's outstanding interest rate swap contract was $25.0 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded a $0.1 million and $0.3 million increase in interest expense, respectively, representing the effective portion of the contract reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income. The fair value of the interest rate swap contract was an asset of $0.8 million as of September 30, 2013, and was included in other long term assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
The Company enters into derivative contracts with major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings and is exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by these financial institutions. This credit risk is generally limited to the unrealized gains in the foreign currency forward contracts. However, the Company monitors the credit quality of these financial institutions and considers the risk of counterparty default to be minimal.
8. Provision for Income Taxes
The effective rates for income taxes were 40.1% and 36.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was higher than the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily due to state tax credits included in the 2012 effective tax rate and a lower
9
proportion of foreign income in the current year. The Company’s annual 2013 effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 40.0% to 41.0%.

Stock options and restricted stock units representing 2.8 thousand and 88.5 thousand shares of common stock outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Stock options and restricted stock units representing 47.9 thousand and 141.5 thousand shares of common stock outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
10. Segment Data and Related Information
The Company’s operating segments are based on how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) makes decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance. The CODM receives discrete financial information by geographic region based on the Company’s strategy to become a global brand. These geographic regions include North America; Latin America; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); and Asia. The Company’s operating segments are based on these geographic regions. Each geographic segment operates exclusively in one industry: the development, marketing and distribution of branded performance apparel, footwear and accessories. Due to the insignificance of the EMEA, Latin America and Asia operating segments, they have been combined into other foreign countries for disclosure purposes.
The geographic distribution of the Company’s net revenues and operating income are summarized in the following tables based on the location of its customers and operations. Net revenues represent sales to external customers for each segment. In addition to net revenues, operating income is a primary financial measure used by the Company to evaluate performance of each segment. Intercompany balances were eliminated for separate disclosure and the majority of corporate expenses within North America have not been allocated to other foreign countries.

Overview
We are a leading developer, marketer and distributor of branded performance apparel, footwear and accessories. The brand’s moisture-wicking fabrications are engineered in many different designs and styles for wear in nearly every climate to provide a performance alternative to traditional products. Our products are sold worldwide and worn by athletes at all levels, from youth to professional, on playing fields around the globe, as well as by consumers with active lifestyles.
We are a growth company as evidenced by the increase in net revenues to $1,834.9 million in 2012 from $725.2 million in 2008. We reported net revenues of $1,649.3 million for the first nine months of 2013, which represented a 24.1% increase from the first nine months of 2012. We believe that our growth in net revenues has been driven by a growing interest in performance products and the strength of the Under Armour brand in the marketplace. We plan to continue to increase our net
12
revenues over the long term by increased sales of our apparel, footwear and accessories, expansion of our wholesale distribution sales channel, growth in our direct to consumer sales channel and expansion in international markets. Our direct to consumer sales channel includes our factory and brand house stores, website and catalog. New offerings for 2013 include UA COLDGEAR® Infrared and UA HEATGEAR® Sonic apparel, UA SpeedformTM and UA SpineTM Venom running footwear, and the ARMOUR39TM performance monitoring and tracking system.
Our operating segments are geographic and include North America; Latin America; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); and Asia. Due to the insignificance of the EMEA, Latin America and Asia operating segments, they have been combined into other foreign countries for disclosure purposes.
Segment operating income consists of the revenues generated by that segment, less the cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative costs that are incurred directly by that segment, as well as an allocation of certain centrally managed costs, such as our distribution facility costs. Corporate costs, which are generally included in our North America operating segment, include costs related to company-wide administrative costs and debt service costs. These administrative costs include corporate office support, costs relating to accounting, human resources, legal, information technology, as well as costs related to overall corporate management.
General
Net revenues comprise both net sales and license revenues. Net sales comprise sales from our primary product categories, which are apparel, footwear and accessories. Our license revenues consist of fees paid to us by our licensees in exchange for the use of our trademarks on products such as socks, team uniforms, baby and kids’ apparel, eyewear and inflatable footballs and basketballs, as well as the distribution of our products in Japan.
Cost of goods sold consists primarily of product costs, inbound freight and duty costs, outbound freight costs, handling costs to make products floor-ready to customer specifications, royalty payments to endorsers based on a predetermined percentage of sales of selected products and write downs for inventory obsolescence. The fabrics in many of our products are made primarily of petroleum-based synthetic materials. Therefore our product costs, as well as our inbound and outbound freight costs, could be affected by long term pricing trends of oil. In general, as a percentage of net revenues, we expect cost of goods sold associated with our apparel and accessories to be lower than that of our footwear. No cost of goods sold is associated with license revenues.
We include outbound freight costs associated with shipping goods to customers as cost of goods sold; however, we include the majority of outbound handling costs as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. As a result, our gross profit may not be comparable to that of other companies that include outbound handling costs in their cost of goods sold. Outbound handling costs include costs associated with preparing goods to ship to customers and certain costs to operate our distribution facilities. These costs, included within selling, general and administrative expenses, were $13.8 million and $9.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $33.3 million and $24.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist of costs related to marketing, selling, product innovation and supply chain and corporate services. Personnel costs are included in these categories based on the employees’ function. Personnel costs include salaries, benefits, and incentive and stock-based compensation related to the employee. Our marketing costs are an important driver of our growth. Marketing costs consist primarily of commercials, print ads, league, team, player and event sponsorships and depreciation expense specific to our in-store fixture program. In addition, marketing costs include costs associated with our Special Make-Up Shop located at one of our distribution facilities where we manufacture a limited number of products primarily for our league, team, player and event sponsorships. Selling costs consist primarily of costs relating to sales through our wholesale channel, commissions paid to third parties and the majority of our direct to consumer sales channel costs, including the cost of factory and brand house store leases. Product innovation and supply chain costs include our apparel, footwear and accessories product innovation, sourcing and development costs, distribution facility operating costs, and costs relating to our Hong Kong and Guangzhou, China offices which help support product development, manufacturing, quality assurance and sourcing efforts. Corporate services primarily consist of corporate facility operating costs and company-wide administrative expenses.
Other income, net consists of unrealized and realized gains and losses on our foreign currency derivative financial instruments and unrealized and realized gains and losses on adjustments that arise from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relating to transactions generated by our international subsidiaries.

Consolidated Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2012
Net revenues increased $147.9 million, or 25.7%, to $723.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $575.2 million for the same period in 2012. Net revenues by product category are summarized below:

Net sales increased $144.1 million, or 25.6%, to $706.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $562.2 million during the same period in 2012. The increase in net sales primarily reflects:
• | $46.4 million, or 34.0%, increase in direct to consumer sales, which includes 16 additional retail stores or 15.5% growth since September 2012, and growth in our e-commerce business; |
• | unit growth driven by increased distribution and new offerings in multiple product categories, most significantly in our training and hunting apparel, including our new UA HEATGEAR® Sonic and UA COLDGEAR® Infrared product lines |
14
along with growth in our UA Storm and Charged Cotton® platforms, and running footwear, including UA SpineTM footwear; and
• | increased average selling prices primarily due to increased sales of our higher priced apparel products. |
License revenues increased $3.9 million, or 29.4%, to $16.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $13.0 million during the same period in 2012. This increase in license revenues was a result of increased distribution and unit volume growth of our licensed products.
Gross profit increased $69.7 million to $350.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $280.4 million for the same period in 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues, or gross margin, decreased 30 basis points to 48.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 48.7% during the same period in 2012. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily driven by the following:
• | approximate 90 basis point decrease as a result of higher duty costs on certain products previously imported, which were identified and reserved for during the third quarter of 2013; and |
• | approximate 30 basis point decrease driven by higher product input costs in apparel primarily related to sourcing product from more reliable but higher cost factories. We expect the apparel product input cost unfavorability will continue through the fourth quarter of 2013. |
The above decreases were partially offset by the below increases:
• | approximate 50 basis point increase driven by lower apparel sales discounts and allowances as a percentage of net revenues. We expect this trend will continue through the fourth quarter of 2013; |
• | approximate 20 basis point increase driven by lower inbound freight, partially due to overcoming some of our prior year supply chain challenges; and |
• | approximate 20 basis point increase driven by sales mix. The sales mix impact was primarily driven by decreased sales mix of excess inventory through our factory house outlet stores at lower prices. We expect the favorable sales mix impact will continue through the fourth quarter of 2013. |
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $39.9 million to $229.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $189.4 million for the same period in 2012. As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 31.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 32.9% for the same period in 2012. These changes were primarily attributable to the following:
• | Marketing costs increased $8.6 million to $74.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $65.6 million for the same period in 2012 primarily due to increased marketing with North American wholesale customers to support key apparel and footwear launches and sponsorship of collegiate and professional teams and athletes. As a percentage of net revenues, marketing costs decreased to 10.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from 11.4% for the same period in 2012 primarily due to timing of media costs. |
• | Selling costs increased $13.2 million to $58.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $45.7 million for the same period in 2012. This increase was primarily due to higher personnel and other costs incurred for the continued expansion of our direct to consumer distribution channel. As a percentage of net revenues, selling costs increased to 8.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from 7.9% for the same period in 2012. |
• | Product innovation and supply chain costs increased $10.0 million to $52.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $42.9 million for the same period in 2012 primarily due to higher personnel costs to support our growth in net revenues. As a percentage of net revenues, product innovation and supply chain costs decreased to 7.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 7.5% for the same period in 2012. |
• | Corporate services costs increased $8.1 million to $43.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $35.2 million for the same period in 2012. This increase was primarily attributable to higher personnel costs, incentive compensation and other administrative costs necessary to support our growth. As a percentage of net revenues, corporate services costs decreased to 6.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 6.1% for the same period in 2012. |
Income from operations increased $29.8 million, or 32.8%, to $120.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $91.0 million for the same period in 2012. Income from operations as a percentage of net revenues increased to 16.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from 15.8% for the same period in 2012. This increase was primarily driven by the timing of media costs.
15
Interest expense, net decreased $0.6 million to $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $1.3 million for the same period in 2012. This decrease was primarily due to the refinancing in December 2012 of the debt assumed in connection with the acquisition of our corporate headquarters.
Other expense, net increased $82.0 thousand to $113.0 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $31.0 thousand for the same period in 2012. This increase was due to higher net losses on the combined foreign currency exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in foreign currencies and our derivative financial instruments as compared to the prior period.
Provision for income taxes increased $14.9 million to $47.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $32.3 million during the same period in 2012. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, our effective tax rate was 39.4% compared to 36.1% for the same period in 2012. The effective rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was higher than the effective rate for the three months ended September 30, 2012 primarily due to state tax credits included in the 2012 effective tax rate and a lower proportion of foreign income in the current year. Our annual 2013 effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 40.0% to 41.0%.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012
Net revenues increased $320.2 million, or 24.1%, to $1,649.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $1,329.1 million for the same period in 2012. Net revenues by product category are summarized below:

Net sales increased $313.3 million, or 24.1%, to $1,611.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $1,298.3 million during the same period in 2012. The increase in net sales primarily reflects:
• | $106.2 million, or 31.5%, increase in direct to consumer sales, led by growth in our e-commerce business, along with 16 additional retail stores or 15.5% growth, since September 2012; |
• | unit growth driven by increased distribution and new offerings in multiple product categories, most significantly our training and hunting apparel, including our new UA HEATGEAR® Sonic and UA COLDGEAR® Infrared product lines along with growth in our UA Storm and Charged Cotton® platforms, and running footwear, including UA SpineTM footwear; and |
• | increased average selling prices primarily due to increased sales of our higher priced apparel products. |
License revenues increased $6.9 million, or 22.6%, to $37.7 million for nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $30.8 million during the same period in 2012. This increase in license revenues was a result of increased distribution and unit volume growth of our licensed products.
Gross profit increased $161.2 million to $786.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $625.1 million for the same period in 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues, or gross margin, increased 70 basis points to 47.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 47.0% during the same period in 2012. The increase in gross margin percentage was primarily driven by the following:
• | approximate 70 basis point increase driven primarily by lower North American apparel and accessories product input costs. We do not expect North American product input cost favorability during the fourth quarter of 2013; |
• | approximate 20 basis point increase driven by sales mix. The sales mix impact was primarily driven by decreased sales mix of excess inventory through our factory house outlet stores at lower prices. We expect the favorable sales mix impact will continue through the fourth quarter of 2013; and |
• | approximate 20 basis point increase driven by lower apparel sales discounts and allowances as a percentage of net revenues. We expect this trend will continue through the fourth quarter of 2013. |
The above increases were partially offset by the below decreases:
16
• | approximate 40 basis point decrease as a result of higher duty costs on certain products previously imported, which were identified and reserved for during the third quarter of 2013. |
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $121.7 million to $619.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $498.0 million for the same period in 2012. As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 37.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 37.4% for the same period in 2012. These changes were primarily attributable to the following:
• | Marketing costs increased $29.6 million to $186.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $156.4 million for the same period in 2012 primarily due to key marketing campaigns, including the I WILL® innovation campaign, as well as increased sponsorship of collegiate and professional teams and athletes. As a percentage of net revenues, marketing costs decreased to 11.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from 11.8% for the same period in 2012 primarily due to decreased media costs in the current year. |
• | Selling costs increased $38.8 million to $160.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $122.1 million for the same period in 2012. This increase was primarily due to higher personnel and other costs incurred for the continued expansion of our direct to consumer distribution channel. As a percentage of net revenues, selling costs increased to 9.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from 9.2% for the same period in 2012 primarily due to the items noted above. |
• | Product innovation and supply chain costs increased $28.2 million to $148.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $120.0 million for the same period in 2012 primarily due to higher personnel and distribution facilities operating costs to support our growth in net revenues. As a percentage of net revenues, product innovation and supply chain costs remained unchanged at 9.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. |
• | Corporate services costs increased $25.1 million to $124.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $99.5 million for the same period in 2012. This increase was primarily attributable to higher incentive compensation and personnel and other administrative costs necessary to support our growth. As a percentage of net revenues, corporate services costs increased to 7.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 7.4% for the same period in 2012. |
Income from operations increased $39.5 million, or 31.1%, to $166.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $127.1 million for the same period in 2012. Income from operations as a percentage of net revenues increased to 10.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from 9.6% for the same period in 2012. This increase was primarily driven by the higher gross profit percentage noted above.
Interest expense, net decreased $1.9 million to $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $4.0 million for the same period in 2012. This decrease was primarily due to the refinancing in December 2012 of the debt assumed in connection with the acquisition of our corporate headquarters.
Other income (expense), net decreased $1.3 million to $(0.7) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $0.6 million for the same period in 2012. This decrease was due to higher net losses on the combined foreign currency exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in foreign currencies and our derivative financial instruments as compared to the prior period.
Provision for income taxes increased $20.7 million to $65.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $45.0 million during the same period in 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, our effective tax rate was 40.1% compared to 36.4% for the same period in 2012. The effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was higher than the effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily due to state tax credits included in the 2012 effective tax rate and a lower proportion of foreign income in the current year. Our annual 2013 effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 40.0% to 41.0%.

Operating income in other foreign countries decreased $3.9 million to $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $4.4 million for the same period in 2012 primarily due to our continued investment to support international expansion in our EMEA and Asia operating segments.
Seasonality
Historically, we have recognized a majority of our net revenues and a significant portion of our income from operations in the last two quarters of the year, driven primarily by increased sales volume of our products during the fall selling season, including our higher priced cold weather products, along with a larger proportion of higher margin direct to consumer sales. The level of our working capital generally reflects the seasonality and growth in our business.
Financial Position, Capital Resources and Liquidity
Our cash requirements have principally been for working capital and capital expenditures. We fund our working capital, primarily inventory, and capital investments from cash flows from operating activities, cash and cash equivalents on hand and
18
borrowings available under our credit and long term debt facilities. Our working capital requirements generally reflect the seasonality and growth in our business as we recognize the majority of our net revenues in the back half of the year. Our capital investments have included expanding our in-store fixture and branded concept shop program, improvements and expansion of our distribution and corporate facilities to support our growth, leasehold improvements to our new factory and brand house stores, and investment and improvements in information technology systems. In June 2013, we signed an agreement to acquire certain assets of our distributor in Mexico. The acquisition is expected to close in January 2014 and be financed through cash on hand. Following the acquisition, we will sell our products in Mexico directly rather than through a distributor. In connection with the agreement, we loaned our Mexican distributor $1.7 million in June 2013 to help fund the expansion of this business.
Our inventory strategy is focused on continuing to meet consumer demand while improving our inventory efficiency over the long term by putting systems and processes in place to improve our inventory management. These systems and processes are designed to improve our forecasting and supply planning capabilities. In addition to systems and processes, key areas of focus that we believe will enhance inventory performance are added discipline around the purchasing of product, production lead time reduction, and better planning and execution in selling of excess inventory through our factory house stores and other liquidation channels.
We believe our cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash from operations and borrowings available to us under our credit and long term debt facilities will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. We may require additional capital to meet our longer term liquidity and future growth needs. Although we believe we have adequate sources of liquidity over the long term, a prolonged economic recession or a slow recovery could adversely affect our business and liquidity. In addition, instability in or tightening of the capital markets could adversely affect our ability to obtain additional capital to grow our business and will affect the cost and terms of such capital.

Operating Activities
Operating activities consist primarily of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items. Adjustments to net income for non-cash items include depreciation and amortization, unrealized foreign currency exchange rate gains and losses, losses on disposals of property and equipment, stock-based compensation, deferred income taxes and changes in reserves and allowances. In addition, operating cash flows include the effect of changes in operating assets and liabilities, principally inventories, accounts receivable, income taxes payable and receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Cash used in operating activities increased $106.3 million to $112.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $6.0 million during the same period in 2012. The increase in cash used in operating activities was due to an increase in net cash outflows from operating assets and liabilities of $149.1 million, partially offset by an increase in net income of $19.5 million, and an increase in adjustments to net income for non-cash items of $23.3 million. The increase in cash outflows related to changes in operating assets and liabilities period over period was primarily driven by the following:
• | a larger increase in inventory investments of $198.9 million in the current period as compared to the prior period, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $32.1 million. Inventory grew in the third quarter of 2013 at a rate higher than net revenue growth primarily due to delivery challenges experienced in the prior year period and early deliveries of product in the current period to manage supplier capacity. This increase was also partially offset by |
• | a larger increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $19.8 million in the current period as compared to the prior period, primarily due to higher accruals for our performance incentive plan as compared to the prior period. |
19
Adjustments to net income for non-cash items increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to increased stock-based compensation expense in the current period as compared to the prior period.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities increased $26.5 million to $64.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $37.7 million for the same period in 2012, primarily due to increased costs to improve and expand our distribution facilities, support our information technology initiatives, along with factory and brand house openings and expansions in the current year period as compared to the prior period.
Capital expenditures for the full year 2013 are expected to be approximately $95.0 million.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities decreased $1.6 million to $22.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $23.9 million for the same period in 2012. This decrease is primarily due to lower excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation arrangements.
Credit Facility
We have a credit facility with certain lending institutions. The credit facility has a term of four years through March 2015 and provides for a committed revolving credit line of up to $300.0 million. The commitment amount under the revolving credit facility may be increased by an additional $50.0 million, subject to certain conditions and approvals as set forth in the credit agreement. No balances were outstanding under the revolving credit facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The credit facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes and is collateralized by substantially all of our assets and certain of our domestic subsidiaries (other than trademarks and the land, buildings and other assets comprising our corporate headquarters) and by a pledge of 65% of the equity interests of certain of our foreign subsidiaries. Up to $5.0 million of the facility may be used to support letters of credit, of which none were outstanding as of September 30, 2013 and 2012. We are required to maintain a certain leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio as set forth in the credit agreement. As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with these ratios. The credit agreement also provides the lenders with the ability to reduce the credit line amount, even if we are in compliance with all conditions of the credit agreement, upon a material adverse change to our business, properties, assets, financial condition or results of operations. The credit agreement contains a number of restrictions that limit our ability, among other things, and subject to certain limited exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness, pledge our assets as security, guaranty obligations of third parties, make investments, undergo a merger or consolidation, dispose of assets, or materially change our line of business. In addition, the credit agreement includes a cross default provision whereby an event of default under other debt obligations, as defined in the credit agreement, will be considered an event of default under the credit agreement.
Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest based on the daily balance outstanding at LIBOR (with no rate floor) plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.25% to 1.75%) or, in certain cases a base rate (based on a certain lending institution’s Prime Rate or as otherwise specified in the credit agreement, with no rate floor) plus an applicable margin (varying from 0.25% to 0.75%). The credit facility also carries a commitment fee equal to the unused borrowings multiplied by an applicable margin (varying from 0.25% to 0.35%). The applicable margins are calculated quarterly and vary based on our leverage ratio as set forth in the credit agreement.
The credit facility included a $25.0 million term loan facility. In May 2011, we borrowed $25.0 million under the term loan facility to finance a portion of the acquisition of our headquarters and repaid it in December 2012. The interest rate on the term loan was 1.7% and 1.6% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
Long Term Debt
We have long term debt agreements with various lenders to finance the acquisition or lease of qualifying capital investments. Loans under these agreements are collateralized by a first lien on the related assets acquired. As these agreements are not committed facilities, each advance is subject to approval by the lenders. Additionally, these agreements include a cross default provision whereby an event of default under other debt obligations, including our credit facility, will be considered an event of default under these agreements. These agreements require a prepayment fee if we pay outstanding amounts ahead of the scheduled terms. The terms of the credit facility limit the total amount of additional financing under these agreements to $40.0 million, of which $18.0 million was available for additional financing as of September 30, 2013. As of September 30,
20
2013, December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012, the outstanding principal balance under these agreements was $5.7 million, $11.9 million and $9.6 million, respectively. Currently, advances under these agreements bear interest rates which are fixed at the time of each advance. The weighted average interest rates on outstanding borrowings were 3.2% and 3.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 2.6% and 3.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
In July 2011, in connection with the acquisition of our corporate headquarters, we assumed a $38.6 million nonrecourse loan secured by a mortgage on the acquired property. The assumed loan had an original term of approximately 10 years with a scheduled maturity date of March 2013. The loan had an interest rate of 6.73%. As of September 30, 2012, the outstanding balance on the loan was $37.6 million. In addition, in connection with this loan, we were required to set aside amounts in reserve and cash collateral accounts. As of September 30, 2012, the restricted cash balance was $5.2 million. We had no restricted cash requirements as of September 30, 2013.
In December 2012, we repaid the remaining balance of the assumed loan of $37.7 million and entered into a $50.0 million loan collateralized by the land, buildings and tenant improvements comprising our corporate headquarters. The new loan has a 7 year term and maturity date of December 2019. The loan bears interest at one month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.50%, and allows for prepayment without penalty. As of September 30, 2013, the outstanding balance on the loan was $48.5 million.
We monitor the financial health and stability of our lenders under the revolving credit and long term debt facilities, however during any period of significant instability in the credit markets lenders could be negatively impacted in their ability to perform under these facilities.
Contractual Commitments and Contingencies
There were no significant changes to the contractual obligations reported in our 2012 Form 10-K other than those which occur in the normal course of business.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. To prepare these financial statements, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could be significantly different from these estimates. We believe the following addresses the critical accounting policies that are necessary to understand and evaluate our reported financial results.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2012 Form 10-K. The SEC suggests companies provide additional disclosure on those accounting policies considered most critical. The SEC considers an accounting policy to be critical if it is important to our financial condition and results of operations and requires significant judgments and estimates on the part of management in its application. Our estimates are often based on complex judgments, probabilities and assumptions that management believes to be reasonable, but that are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. It is also possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts. For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies, see the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of the MD&A in our 2012 Form 10-K. There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update which requires that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, with certain exceptions. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. We believe the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update which requires companies to present either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2012, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update which allows companies to assess qualitative factors to determine the likelihood of indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment and whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test currently required. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign Currency Risk
We currently generate a majority of our consolidated net revenues in the U.S., and the reporting currency for our consolidated financial statements is the U.S. dollar. As our net revenues generated outside of the United States increase, our results of operations could be adversely impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For example, as we recognize foreign revenues in local foreign currencies and if the U.S. dollar strengthens, it could have a negative impact on our foreign revenues upon translation of those results into the U.S. dollar upon consolidation of our financial statements. In addition, we are exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on transactions generated by our foreign subsidiaries in currencies other than their local currencies. These gains and losses are primarily driven by intercompany transactions. These exposures are included in other income, net on the consolidated statements of income.
From time to time, we may elect to use foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the risk from exchange rate fluctuations primarily on intercompany transactions and projected inventory purchases for our international subsidiaries. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
As of September 30, 2013, the aggregate notional value of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was $39.0 million, which was comprised of Canadian Dollar/U.S. Dollar, Euro/U.S. Dollar, and Pound Sterling/Euro currency pairs with contract maturities of 1 month. The foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2013 have weighted average contractual forward foreign currency exchange rates of 1.03 CAD per $1.00, €0.74 per $1.00 and £0.84 per €1.00. The foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges, and accordingly, changes in their fair value are recorded in earnings. The fair values of our foreign currency forward contracts were liabilities of $55.5 thousand and $1.3 million as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and were included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts were assets of $4.8 thousand as of December 31, 2012, and were included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the fair value measurements. Included in other income, net were the following amounts related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and derivative foreign currency forward contracts:

Although we have entered into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize some of the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on future cash flows, we cannot be assured that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Interest Rate Risk
In order to maintain liquidity and fund business operations, we enter into long term debt arrangements with various lenders which bear a range of fixed and variable rates of interest. The nature and amount of our long-term debt can be expected to vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. We may elect to enter into interest rate swap contracts to reduce the impact associated with interest rate fluctuations. In December 2012, we began utilizing an interest rate swap contract to convert a portion of variable rate debt under the $50.0 million loan to fixed rate debt. The contract pays fixed and receives variable rates of interest based on one-month LIBOR and has a maturity date of December 2019. The interest rate swap contract is accounted for as a cash flow hedge and accordingly, the effective portion of the changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified into interest expense over the life of the underlying debt obligation.
As of September 30, 2013, the notional value of our outstanding interest rate swap contract was $25.0 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded a $0.1 million and $0.3 million increase in interest expense,
22
respectively, representing the effective portion of the contract reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income. The fair value of the interest rate swap contract was an asset of $0.8 million as of September 30, 2013, and was included in other long term assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
Credit Risk
We are exposed to credit risk primarily on our accounts receivable. We provide credit to customers in the ordinary course of business and perform ongoing credit evaluations. We believe that our exposure to concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is largely mitigated by our customer base. We believe that our allowance for doubtful accounts is sufficient to cover customer credit risks as of September 30, 2013.
Inflation
Inflationary factors such as increases in the cost of our product and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues if the selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased costs.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
