The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company's restricted cash is reserved for payments related to claims for its captive insurance program, which is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash to the balances shown in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:


(In thousands)	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020		September 30, 2020
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,253,706	$	1,517,361	$	865,609
Restricted cash	12,696		11,154		8,926
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	1,266,402	$	1,528,515	$	874,535

Financial instruments that subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable is due from large wholesale customers. One of the Company's customers accounted for more than 10.0% of the accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2021. None of the Company's customers accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, one customer in North America accounted for more than 10% of the Company's net revenues. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, no customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's net revenues. The Company regularly evaluates the credit risk of the large wholesale customers which make up the majority of the Company's accounts receivable. Refer to the "Credit Losses - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts" below for a discussion of the evaluation of credit losses.

Credit losses are the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through customer receivables associated with the sale of products within the Company's wholesale channels, recorded within accounts receivable, net on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company also has other receivables, including receivables from licensing arrangements recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Credit is extended to customers based on a credit review. The credit review considers each customer’s financial condition, including a review of the customers established credit rating or, if an established customer rating is not available, then the Company's assessment of the customer’s creditworthiness is based on their financial statements, local industry practices, and business strategy. A credit limit and terms of credit are established for each customer based on the outcome of this review. The Company actively monitors ongoing credit exposure through review of customer balances against terms and payments against due dates. To mitigate credit risk, the Company may require customers to provide security in the form of guarantees, letters of credit, or prepayment. The Company is also exposed to credit losses through credit card receivables associated with the sale of products within the Company's direct-to-consumer channel.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectibility of customer accounts. The Company makes ongoing estimates relating to the collectibility of accounts receivable and records an allowance for estimated losses expected from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company establishes expected credit losses by evaluating historical levels of credit losses, current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay, and creditworthiness of significant customers. These inputs are used to determine a range of expected credit losses and an allowance is recorded within the range. Accounts receivable are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery.

The following table illustrates the activity in the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts:


(In thousands)	Balance as of December 31, 2020		Increases (decreases) to Costs and Expenses		Write-Offs Net of Recoveries		Balance as of September 30, 2021
Allowance for doubtful accounts - within accounts receivable, net	$	20,350	$	(4,149)	$	(2,100)	$	14,101
Allowance for doubtful accounts - within prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	7,029	$	—	$	—	$	7,029

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies its performance obligations by transferring control of promised products or services to its customers, which occurs either at a point in time or over time, depending on when the customer obtains the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the products or services. The amount of revenue recognized considers terms of sale that create variability in the amount of consideration that the Company ultimately expects to be entitled to in exchange for the products or services and is subject to an overall constraint that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in future periods. Sales taxes imposed on the Company’s revenues from product sales are presented on a net basis on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, and therefore do not impact net revenues or costs of goods sold.

Revenue transactions associated with the sale of apparel, footwear, and accessories, comprise a single performance obligation, which consists of the sale of products to customers either through wholesale or direct-to-consumer channels. The Company satisfies the performance obligation and records revenues when transfer of control has passed to the customer, based on the terms of sale. In the Company’s wholesale channel, transfer of control is based upon shipment under free on board shipping point for most goods or upon receipt by the customer depending on the country of the sale and the agreement with the customer. The Company may also ship product directly from its supplier to wholesale customers and recognize revenue when the product is delivered to and accepted by the customer. In the Company’s direct-to-consumer channel, transfer of control takes place at the point of sale for brand and factory house customers and upon shipment to substantially all e-commerce customers. Payment terms for wholesale transactions are established in accordance with local and industry practices. Payment is generally required within 30 to 60 days of shipment to or receipt by the wholesale customer in the United States, and generally within 60 to 90 days of shipment to or receipt by the wholesale customer internationally. Payment is generally due at the time of sale for direct-to-consumer transactions.

Gift cards issued to customers by the Company are recorded as contract liabilities until they are redeemed, at which point revenue is recognized. The Company also estimates and recognizes revenue for gift card balances not expected to ever be redeemed ("breakage") to the extent that it does not have a legal obligation to remit the value of such unredeemed gift cards to the relevant jurisdiction as unclaimed or abandoned property. Such estimates are based upon historical redemption trends, with breakage income recognized in proportion to the pattern of actual customer redemptions.

Revenue from the Company's licensing arrangements is recognized over time during the period that licensees are provided access to the Company's trademarks and benefit from such access through their sales of licensed products. These arrangements require licensees to pay a sales-based royalty, which for most arrangements may be subject to a contractually guaranteed minimum royalty amount. Payments are generally due quarterly. The Company recognizes revenue for sales-based royalty arrangements (including those for which the royalty exceeds any contractually guaranteed minimum royalty amount) as licensed products are sold by the licensee. If a sales-based royalty is not ultimately expected to exceed a contractually guaranteed minimum royalty amount, the minimum is recognized as revenue over the contractual period, if all other criteria of revenue recognition have been met. This sales-based output measure of progress and pattern of recognition best represents the value transferred to the licensee over the term of the arrangement, as well as the amount of consideration that the Company is entitled to receive in exchange for providing access to its trademarks.

payments are recorded as contract liabilities in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Related commission cost is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. Revenue from digital advertising is recognized as the Company satisfies performance obligations pursuant to customer insertion orders.

The Company records reductions to revenue for estimated customer returns, allowances, markdowns, and discounts. The Company bases its estimates on historical rates of customer returns and allowances as well as the specific identification of outstanding returns, markdowns and allowances that have not yet been received by the Company. The actual amount of customer returns and allowances, which is inherently uncertain, may differ from the Company’s estimates. If the Company determines that actual or expected returns or allowances are significantly higher or lower than the reserves it established, it would record a reduction or increase, as appropriate, to net sales in the period in which it makes such a determination. Provisions for customer specific discounts are based on negotiated arrangements with certain major customers. Reserves for returns, allowances, markdowns, and discounts are included within customer refund liability and the value of inventory associated with reserves for sales returns are included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. At a minimum, the Company reviews and refines these estimates on a quarterly basis.

The following table presents the customer refund liability, as well as the associated value of inventory for the periods indicated:


(In thousands)	Balance as of September 30, 2021		Balance as of December 31, 2020		Balance as of September 30, 2020
Customer refund liability	$	174,274	$	203,399	$	197,496
Inventory associated with the reserves	$	50,544	$	57,867	$	50,779

Contract liabilities are recorded when a customer pays consideration, or the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional, before the transfer of a good or service to the customer, and thus represent the Company's obligation to transfer the good or service to the customer at a future date. The Company's contract liabilities primarily consist of payments received in advance of revenue recognition for subscriptions for the Company's digital fitness applications and royalty arrangements, included in other current and other long-term liabilities, and gift cards, included in accrued expenses, on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2021, December 31, 2020, and September 30, 2020, contract liabilities were $24.3 million, $26.7 million and $64.9 million, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized $3.1 million and $10.8 million, respectively, of revenue that was previously included in contract liabilities as of December 31, 2020. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized $9.9 million and $21.2 million, respectively, of revenue that was previously included in contract liabilities as of December 31, 2019. The change in the contract liabilities balance primarily results from the timing differences between the Company's satisfaction of performance obligations and the customer's payment. Commissions related to subscription revenue are capitalized and recognized over the subscription period.

The Company also incurs outbound handling costs associated with preparing goods to ship to customers and certain costs to operate the Company’s distribution facilities. These costs are recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, these costs totaled $13.8 million and $63.3 million, respectively, (three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 - $21.2 million and $61.2 million, respectively).

The Company has a common stock investment of 29.5% in Dome Corporation ("Dome"), the Company's Japanese licensee. The Company accounts for its investment in Dome under the equity method, given it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over Dome. The Company recorded its allocable share of Dome’s net income (loss) of $0 and $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, (three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 - $0 and $(1.4) million, respectively) within income

(loss) from equity method investment on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and as an adjustment to the invested balance within other long term assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2021, the carrying value of the Company's investment in Dome was $1.8 million. The Company's investment in Dome had no carrying value as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020.

In addition to the investment in Dome, the Company has a license agreement with Dome. The Company recorded license revenues from Dome of $11.1 million and $22.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 - $10.9 million and $17.4 million, respectively). As of September 30, 2021, December 31, 2020, and September 30, 2020, the Company had $8.9 million, $22.9 million, and $8.5 million, respectively, in licensing receivables outstanding, recorded in the prepaid expenses and other current assets line item within the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On March 2, 2020, as part of the Company's acquisition of Triple Pte. Ltd., the Company assumed 49.5% of common stock ownership in UA Sports (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (“UA Sports Thailand”). The Company accounts for its investment in UA Sports Thailand under the equity method, given it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over UA Sports Thailand. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded the allocable share of UA Sports Thailand’s net income (loss) of $(921) thousand and $(873) thousand, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 - $1.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively) within income (loss) from equity method investment on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and as an adjustment to the invested balance within other long term assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2021, December 31, 2020, and September 30, 2020, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in UA Sports Thailand was $4.7 million, $4.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively.

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06 "Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)" ("ASU 2020-06"). The amendment in this update simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models available for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. This update also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions and requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share. The update also requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about the terms and features of convertible instruments, how the instruments have been reported in the entity’s financial statements, and information about events, conditions, and circumstances that can affect how to assess the amount or timing of an entity’s future cash flows related to those instruments. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company currently does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
