NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value or at cost, which approximates fair value, and include short-term highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash and so near their maturity they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates, with original maturities of three months or less. As of December 31, 2025, Cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash, money market funds, United States ("U.S.") government treasury bills, time deposits, and commercial paper. As of December 31, 2024, Cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash, money market funds, U.S. government treasury bills, and time deposits. INVESTMENTS As of December 31, 2025, Short-term investments consisted of U.S. government treasury bills and commercial paper, as well as money market funds and mutual fund shares held as part of the Company’s deferred compensation plan expected to be distributed in the next twelve months. As of December 31, 2024, Short-term investments consisted of U.S. government treasury bills, as well as money market funds and mutual fund shares held as part of the Company’s deferred compensation plan expected to be distributed in the next twelve months. The U.S. government treasury bills and commercial paper are classified as available-for-sale debt securities and are recorded at fair value with any unrealized gains or losses reported, net of tax, in Other comprehensive loss. Investments held as part of the Company's deferred compensation plan are recorded at fair value with any gains and losses included in Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A expenses"); a corresponding deferred compensation liability adjustment is recorded separately, resulting in no overall net effect on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, long-term investments included in Other non-current assets consisted of money market funds and mutual fund shares held to offset liabilities to participants in the Company's deferred compensation plan. These investments are classified as long-term because the related deferred compensation liabilities are not expected to be paid within the next twelve months. These investments are recorded at fair value with gains and losses reported in SG&A expenses; a corresponding deferred compensation liability adjustment is recorded separately, resulting in no overall net effect on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS Accounts receivable have been reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for estimated credit losses resulting from the inability of the Company's customers to make required payments. The allowance represents the current estimate of lifetime expected credit losses over the remaining duration of existing accounts receivable considering current market conditions and supportable forecasts when appropriate. The estimate is a result of the Company’s ongoing evaluation of collectability, customer creditworthiness, historical levels of credit losses, and future expectations. Write-offs of accounts receivable were $1.6 million and $2.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. INVENTORIES Inventories consist primarily of finished goods and are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using standard cost, which approximates the first-in, first-out method. The Company regularly reviews its inventories for excess, close-out or slow-moving items and makes provisions as necessary to properly reflect inventory value. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The principal estimated useful lives are: land improvements, 15 years; buildings and building improvements, 15-30 years; furniture and fixtures, 3-10 years; and machinery, software and equipment, 3-10 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the improvement, which is most commonly 7 years, or the remaining term of the underlying lease. Improvements to PP&E that substantially extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Internal and external costs directly related to the development of internal-use software during the application development stage, including costs incurred for third-party contractors and employee compensation, are capitalized and depreciated over a 3-10 year estimated useful life. CLOUD COMPUTING ARRANGEMENTS The Company’s cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts ("CCAs") primarily relate to various enterprise resource planning systems, as well as other supporting systems. Implementation costs associated with CCAs are capitalized ("CCA assets") when incurred during the application development stage and generally included in Other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. CCA assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of their assessed useful lives or the contractual term of the CCA contract, with amortization included in the same financial statement line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as the expense for fees in the associated CCA contract. As of December 31, 2025, CCA assets in-service have useful lives which range from approximately one year to six years. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, CCA assets consisted of capitalized implementation costs of $46.9 million and $42.4 million, respectively and associated accumulated amortization of $36.6 million and $28.6 million, respectively. Changes in these assets are recorded in Other assets within operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS Long-lived assets, which include PP&E, lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and CCA assets, are tested for recoverability only when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. In these cases, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows to be derived from the asset or asset group to determine whether the asset or asset group is recoverable. If the carrying value of an asset or asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an analysis is performed to estimate the fair value of the asset or asset group. An impairment is recorded if the fair value of the asset or asset group is less than the carrying amount. Impairment charges of long-lived assets, if any, are classified as SG&A expenses. During 2025, the Company tested certain long-lived assets for impairment at certain underperforming retail locations. Refer to Note 7 for further information regarding impairment charges recorded to PP&E. DEFINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets that are determined to have finite lives were amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. INDEFINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL Indefinite-lived intangible assets (which consists of trade names and trademarks) (collectively, "trade names") and goodwill reporting units are tested for impairment annually or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount (a "triggering event"). In the impairment test for trade names, the Company compares the estimated fair value of each asset to its carrying amount. In the impairment test for goodwill, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is compared with the carrying amount of that reporting unit. For both trade names and goodwill, if the carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss as the excess of carrying amount over the estimate of fair value. Impairment charges of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, if any, are classified as Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During 2025, the Company tested prAna and Mountain Hardwear trade names and goodwill reporting units for impairment. Refer to Note 9 for further information regarding these impairments. LEASES The Company leases, among other things, retail space, office space, warehouse facilities, storage space, vehicles, and equipment. Generally, the initial lease terms are between 5 and 10 years. Certain lease agreements contain scheduled rent escalation clauses and others include rental payments adjusted periodically depending on an index or rate. Certain retail space lease agreements provide for additional rents based on a percentage of annual sales in excess of stipulated minimums ("percentage rent"). Certain lease agreements require the Company to pay real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, and other costs, collectively referred to as operating costs, in addition to base rent. Certain lease agreements also contain lease incentives, such as tenant improvement allowances and rent holidays. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from approximately one to 10 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at the Company's sole discretion. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception. The Company recognizes a lease ROU asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date. Key estimates and judgments include how the Company determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the unpaid lease payments to present value, (2) the lease term and (3) lease payments. Unpaid lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease because it does not have access to the lessor's estimated residual value or the amount of the lessor's deferred initial direct costs. Therefore, the Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for the lease. The Company's incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest it would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms. Because the Company does not generally borrow on a collateralized basis, it uses market-based rates as an input to derive an appropriate incremental borrowing rate, adjusted for the lease term and the effect on that rate of designating specific collateral with a value equal to the unpaid lease payments for that lease. The Company's lease contracts may include options to extend the lease following the initial term or terminate the lease prior to the end of the initial term. In most instances, at the commencement of the leases, the Company has determined that it is not reasonably certain to exercise either of these options; accordingly, these options are generally not considered in determining the initial lease term. In instances where the Company exercises an option it had previously determined it was not reasonably certain to exercise, the Company reassesses any remaining options in the contract that it is reasonably certain to exercise in its measurement of the lease term. For most lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842, the Company has elected the practical expedient to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Therefore, for those leases, the lease payments used to measure the lease liability include all of the fixed consideration in the contract. Variable lease payments associated with the Company's leases are recognized upon occurrence of the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed. Variable lease payments are presented in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same line item as expense arising from fixed lease payments, which is generally within SG&A expenses. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are considered short-term leases and not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognizes lease expense for short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. INCOME TAXES Income taxes are based on amounts of taxes payable or refundable in the current year and on expected future tax consequences of events that are recognized in the financial statements in different periods than they are recognized in tax returns. As a result of timing of recognition and measurement differences between financial accounting standards and income tax laws, temporary differences arise between amounts of pre-tax financial statement income and taxable income and between reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect estimated future tax effects attributable to these temporary differences and to net operating loss and net capital loss carryforwards, based on tax rates expected to be in effect for years in which the differences are expected to be settled or realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on future taxable income in specific jurisdictions. Valuation allowances are used to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts considered likely to be realized. Accrued income taxes in the Consolidated Balance Sheets include unrecognized income tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions, including related interest and penalties, classified as current or non-current. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the relevant taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. In making this determination, the Company assumes that the taxing authority will examine the position and that it will have full knowledge of all relevant information. Changes in the Company's assessment may result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision in the period the assessment changes. DERIVATIVES The effective portion of changes in the fair value of outstanding cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss until earnings are affected by the hedged transaction, and any ineffective portion is included in earnings. In most cases, amounts recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss will be released to earnings after maturity of the related derivative. The Consolidated Statements of Operations classification of results from effective hedges is the same as that of the underlying exposure. Results of hedges of product costs are recorded in Cost of sales when the underlying hedged transactions affect earnings. Results of hedges of revenue are recorded in Net sales when the underlying hedged transactions affect earnings. Unrealized derivative gains and losses, which are recorded in assets and liabilities, respectively, are non-cash items and therefore are taken into account in the preparation of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows based on their respective balance sheet classifications. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION For the Company's subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities have been translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at period end, and the sales and expenses have been translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates in effect during the period. The foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenues are recognized when the Company's performance obligations are satisfied as evidenced by transfer of control of promised goods to customers or consumers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Within the Company's wholesale channel, control generally transfers to the customer upon shipment to, or upon receipt by, the customer depending on the terms of sale with the customer. Within the Company's direct-to-consumer ("DTC") channel, control generally transfers to the consumer at the time of sale within retail stores and concession-based arrangements and generally upon shipment to the consumer with respect to e-commerce transactions. The amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive and recognize as Net sales across both wholesale and DTC channels varies with changes in sales returns, other accommodations and incentives offered. The Company estimates expected sales returns and other accommodations, such as chargebacks and markdowns, and records a sales reserve to reduce Net sales. These estimates are based on historical rates of product returns and claims, as well as events and circumstances that indicate changes to such historical rates are warranted. However, actual returns and claims in any future period are inherently uncertain and thus may differ from estimates. As a result, the Company adjusts estimates of revenue at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration the Company expects to receive changes or when the amount of consideration becomes fixed. If actual or expected future returns and claims are significantly different than the sales reserves established, the Company records an adjustment to Net sales in the period in which it made such determination. Licensing income, which is presented separately as Net licensing income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and represents less than 1% of total revenue, is recognized over time based on the greater of contractual minimum royalty guarantees and actual, or estimated, sales of licensed products by the Company's licensees. The Company expenses sales commissions when incurred, which is generally at the time of sale, because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within SG&A expenses. Revenue recognized from contracts with customers is recorded net of sales taxes, value added taxes, or similar taxes that are collected on behalf of local taxing authorities. Shipping and Handling Costs Fees for shipping and handling activities which are billed to customers and consumers are recorded as Net Sales. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after a customer has obtained control of a good as fulfillment costs rather than an additional performance obligation. Freight costs associated with the shipment of goods to customers and consumers, including freight costs associated with the transfer of inventory within the Company's distribution network and to the Company's retail stores, are recorded as Cost of sales. Shipping and handling costs also include costs associated with the handling of inventory and warehousing costs associated with the operation of the Company's owned distribution centers and third-party logistics providers are recorded as SG&A expenses, and were $149.7 million, $153.9 million and $183.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. COST OF SALES Cost of sales consists of all direct costs to source and purchase inventory, including product costs, freight, duties and other importation costs, as well as specific provisions for excess, close-out or slow-moving inventory. In addition, certain products carry life-time or limited warranty provisions for defects in quality and workmanship. Cost of sales includes a warranty reserve established for these provisions at the time of sale to cover estimated costs based on the Company's history of warranty repairs and replacements. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES SG&A expenses consists of personnel-related costs, advertising, depreciation and amortization, occupancy, warehousing, and other selling and general operating expenses related to the Company's business functions. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION Share-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the award's fair value. For stock options, time-based restricted stock units, and market-based restricted stock units, share-based compensation cost is recognized over the expected requisite service period using the straight-line attribution method. For equity-classified market-based restricted stock units, the probability of achieving the related market condition is incorporated into the grant date fair value. If targets are not met, no compensation cost will be reversed except in the case of award forfeitures. For performance-based restricted stock units, share-based compensation cost is recognized based on the Company's assessment of the probability of achieving the related performance targets. If such targets are not met, no compensation cost is recognized and any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed. The Company estimates forfeitures for share-based awards granted, but which are not expected to vest. ADVERTISING COSTS Advertising costs, including marketing and demand creation spending, are expensed in the period incurred and are included in SG&A expenses. The Company may reimburse its customers for certain marketing activities at the Company's discretion. The costs for such activities are recorded as advertising costs when the Company has determined a payment is in exchange for a distinct good or service and approximates the fair value of the good or service received. Total advertising expense was $220.2 million, $198.7 million and $209.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 ("ASU 2024-03"), Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which includes amendments intended to improve disclosures about a public business entity's expenses, primarily through additional disaggregation of income statement expenses. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine the impact on the Company's disclosures. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06 ("ASU 2025-06"), Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which includes amendments intended to modernize the accounting for software costs by removing references to software development stages and clarifying the capitalization threshold. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or through a modified transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine the impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain amounts in the prior-period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Loss on impairment of PP&E is now included in Loss on impairment of goodwill, intangible assets, and property plant, and equipment in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows instead of combined with Other, net.
