From time to time, we may also provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public. Such forward-looking statements are subject to the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Statements that refer to industry trends, projections of our future financial performance, anticipated trends in our business and other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. These statements, which express management’s current views concerning future events or results, use words like “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “strive,” and future or conditional tense verbs like “could,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions or variations. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding:

our expectations regarding the impact of the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) on our business, financial condition, operating results, capital expenditures, and liquidity;
our expectations regarding future trends, selling, general and administrative cost savings, expectations, and performance of our business;
our belief that we have sufficient liquidity to fund our business operations during the next twelve months;
our expectations about the impact of our strategic plans; and
our expectations regarding our level of capital expenditures in 2020 and beyond.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which may cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include, without limitation, those described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” under Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” under Item 1A in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Unless otherwise noted in this report, any description of the “Company,” “Crocs,” “we,” “us,” or “our” includes Crocs, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries within our reportable operating segments and corporate operations. We are engaged in the design, development, worldwide marketing, distribution, and sale of casual lifestyle footwear and accessories for men, women, and children. We strive to be the global leader in the sale of molded footwear characterized by functionality, comfort, color, and lightweight design.

Our reportable operating segments include: the Americas, operating in North and South America; Asia Pacific, operating throughout Asia, Australia, and New Zealand; and Europe, Middle East, and Africa (“EMEA”), operating throughout Europe, Russia, the Middle East, and Africa. See Note 14 — Operating Segments and Geographic Information for additional information.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Such unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (“Annual Report”), and have been prepared on a consistent basis with the accounting policies described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report. Our accounting policies did not change during the six months ended June 30, 2020, other than with respect to the new accounting pronouncements adopted as described in Note 2 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements and the COVID-19-related lease accounting policy election as described in Note 4 — Leases.

Reclassifications

The Company has reclassified certain amounts on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows to conform to current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

U.S. GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions used to determine certain amounts that affect the financial statements are reasonable, based on information available at the time they are made. Management believes that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions made when accounting for items and matters such as, but not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, customer rebates, sales returns, impairment assessments and charges, recoverability of long-lived assets, deferred tax assets, uncertain tax positions, income tax expense, share-based compensation expense, the assessment of lower of cost or net realizable value on inventory, useful lives assigned to long-lived assets, and depreciation and amortization, are reasonable based on information available at the time they are made.

Additionally, the full impact of COVID-19 is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated. However, we have made appropriate accounting estimates based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. To the extent there are differences between these estimates and actual results, our consolidated financial statements may be materially affected.

Seasonality of Business

Due to the seasonal nature of our footwear, which is more heavily focused on styles suitable for warm weather, revenues generated during our fourth quarter, when the northern hemisphere is experiencing cooler weather, are typically less than revenues generated during our first three quarters. Our quarterly results of operations may also fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of other factors, including the timing of new model introductions, general economic conditions, and consumer
7

Table of Contents
confidence. Accordingly, results of operations and cash flows for any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of expected results for any other quarter or for any other year.

Transactions with Affiliates

In 2019, we received services from three affiliates of Blackstone Capital Partners VI L.P. (“Blackstone”). Blackstone and certain of its permitted transferees beneficially owned 6,899,027 shares of our common stock until Blackstone sold 6,864,545 shares of common stock held directly by Blackstone and its affiliates in an underwritten public offering on November 4, 2019. The other 34,482 shares of common stock were held by Gregg S. Ribatt, our former Chief Executive Officer and former member of our Board of Directors, which Blackstone may have been deemed to beneficially own, and were sold by Mr. Ribatt in October 2019. We incurred expenses to Blackstone’s legal counsel of $0.3 million in relation to this offering.

Certain Blackstone affiliates provide various services to us, including inventory count services, cybersecurity and consulting, and workforce management services. We incurred expenses for services from these affiliates of $0.3 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Expenses related to these services are reported in ‘Selling, general and administrative expenses’ in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
New Accounting Pronouncement Adopted

Measurement of Credit Losses

In June 2016, and through subsequent amendments, the FASB issued guidance that requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets. This new model replaces the existing “current incurred loss” model with a forward-looking “current expected credit loss” model. On January 1, 2020, we adopted this guidance on a modified retrospective basis. Based on the nature of our financial instruments included within the scope of this standard, which are primarily trade and other receivables, the adoption did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Implementation Costs Incurred in Cloud Computing Arrangements

In August 2018, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to the treatment of implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is considered a service contract. On January 1, 2020, we adopted this guidance on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Simplifying Accounting for Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued new guidance to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles and also simplification of areas such as franchise taxes, step-up in tax basis goodwill, separate entity financial statements and interim recognition of enactment of tax laws or rate changes. The standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim reporting periods within those periods. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued optional guidance related to reference rate reform, which provides practical expedients for contract modifications and certain hedging relationships associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. This guidance is applicable for our borrowing instruments, which use LIBOR as a reference rate, and is effective immediately, but is only available through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Other Pronouncements

Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after June 30, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

4. LEASES

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we received lease concessions from landlords in the form of rent deferrals and rent abatements in the three months ended June 30, 2020. We chose to implement the policy election provided by the FASB in April 2020 to record rent concessions as if no modifications to leases contracts were made, and thus no changes to the lease obligations were recorded in respect to these concessions. As of June 30, 2020, we had outstanding deferred rent of $4.3 million, the majority of which will be paid by December 31, 2020, and in the three months ended June 30, 2020, we received rent abatements of $1.3 million.

Leases That Have Not Yet Commenced

As of June 30, 2020, we had significant obligations for a lease that has not yet commenced related to our new EMEA distribution center. In the fourth quarter of 2019, we entered into a lease for a new distribution center in Dordrecht, the Netherlands, which is expected to replace our existing distribution center in Rotterdam by the end of 2021. The total contractual commitment related to this lease, with payments expected to begin in January 2021 and continuing through December 2030, is approximately €23 million, or $26 million, with expected total capital investments of approximately €20 million, or $23 million, through 2021. Additionally, as of June 30, 2020, we had significant obligations for a lease that has not yet commenced related to the expansion of our Americas distribution center in Dayton, Ohio. The total contractual commitment related to this lease, with payments expected to begin August 2020 and continuing through September 2030, is approximately $26 million, with expected total capital investments of approximately $10 million through 2020.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
 
All of our derivative instruments are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets within ‘Prepaid expenses and other assets’ at December 31, 2019. We did not have any derivative assets or liabilities recorded at June 30, 2020. The fair values of our derivative instruments were an asset of $0.1 million at December 31, 2019. See Note 6 — Derivative Financial Instruments for more information.

The carrying amounts of our cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and current accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their fair value as recorded due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Our borrowing instruments are recorded at their carrying values in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, which may differ from their respective fair values. The fair values of our outstanding borrowings approximate their carrying values at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, based on interest rates currently available to us for similar borrowings and were:

Borrowings$275,000  $275,000  $205,000  $205,000  

Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities

Our non-financial assets, which primarily consist of property and equipment, right-of-use assets, goodwill, and other intangible assets, are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at carrying value. The fair values of these assets are determined based on Level 3 measurements, including estimates of the amount and timing of future cash flows based upon historical experience, expected market conditions, and management’s plans. Impairment expense is reported in ‘Selling, general and administrative expenses’ in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we evaluated our non-financial assets for potential impairment, concluding that no impairment was needed in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. Additionally, no impairment expense was recorded in the three or six months ended June 30, 2019.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded inventory donations of $8.2 million and $9.9 million, respectively, at fair value within ‘Selling, general and administrative expenses’ in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We did not record material inventory donations in the three or six months ended June 30, 2019.

6. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
We transact business in various foreign countries and are therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk that impacts the reported U.S. Dollar amounts of revenues, expenses, and certain foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities. In order to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency and to reduce the volatility in earnings caused by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, we may enter into forward contracts to buy and sell foreign currency. By policy, we do not enter into these contracts for trading purposes or speculation. To maximize liquidity and cash flow during the COVID-19 pandemic, we did not enter into any foreign currency exchange forward contracts in the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Counterparty default risk is considered low because the forward contracts that we enter into are over-the-counter instruments transacted with highly-rated financial institutions. We were not required to and did not post collateral as of December 31, 2019.

Our derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as a derivative asset or liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We report derivative instruments with the same counterparty on a net basis when a master netting arrangement is in place. Changes in fair value are recognized within ‘Foreign currency gains (losses), net’ in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, we classify cash flows from derivative instruments at settlement in the same category as the cash flows from the related hedged items within ‘Cash provided by operating activities.’

Senior Revolving Credit Facility

In July 2019, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), with the lenders named therein and PNC Bank, National Association, as a lender and administrative agent for the lenders, which provided for a revolving credit facility of $450.0 million. In March 2020, we amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, increase the total commitments under the Credit Agreement by $50.0 million, resulting in total commitments of $500.0 million, which can be increased by an additional $100.0 million subject to certain conditions (the “Facility”). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate based on (A) a domestic base rate (defined as the highest of (i) the Federal Funds open rate, plus 0.25%, (ii) the Prime Rate, and (iii) the Daily LIBOR rate, plus 1.00%), plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.875% based on our leverage ratio, or (B) a LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.875% based on our leverage ratio. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by all of the assets of the Borrowers and guaranteed by certain other subsidiaries of the Borrowers.

12

Table of Contents
The Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of 4.00 to 1.00, and a maximum leverage ratio of (i) 4.00 to 1.00 until September 30, 2020, (ii) 3.50 to 1.00 from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021, and (iii) 3.25 to 1.00 from March 31, 2022 and thereafter (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances). The Credit Agreement permits (i) stock repurchases subject to certain restrictions, including after giving effect to such stock repurchases, the maximum leverage ratio does not exceed certain levels; and (ii) certain acquisitions so long as there is borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement of at least $40.0 million. As of June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2020, the total commitments available from the lenders under the Facility were $500.0 million. At June 30, 2020, we had $275.0 million in outstanding borrowings, which are due when the Facility matures in July 2024, and $0.6 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Facility, which reduces amounts available for borrowing under the Facility. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $224.4 million and $240.4 million, respectively, of available borrowing capacity under the Facility.

In July 2020, we repaid an additional $50.0 million of our outstanding borrowings under the Facility. Our borrowings may continue to fluctuate as we manage our liquidity needs.

Asia Revolving Credit Facilities

In the three months ended June 30, 2020, we entered into two separate credit agreements in Asia, which provide for revolving credit facilities with China Merchants Bank Company Limited, Shanghai Branch (the "CMBC Facility") and Citibank (China) Company Limited, Shanghai Branch (the "Citibank Facility").

The CMBC Facility provides a revolving credit facility of up to 30.0 million RMB, or $4.2 million at current exchange rates, and matures in May 2021. For RMB loans under the CMBC Facility, interest is determined at the time of borrowing based on variable rates in effect at that time.

The Citibank Facility provides a revolving credit facility of up to an equivalent of $5.0 million and matures in June 2021. For RMB loans under the Citibank Facility, interest is based on a National Interbank Funding Center 1-year prime rate, plus 65 basis points. For USD loans under the Citibank Facility, interest is based on a LIBOR rate, plus 1.5%.

We had no borrowings under our Asia revolving facilities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and year ended December 31, 2019 or borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

8. COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM 

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, to preserve maximum liquidity and flexibility as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we did not repurchase shares of our common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we repurchased 1.6 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $39.2 million, including commissions. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we repurchased 2.5 million and 4.6 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $55.0 million and $108.5 million, including commissions, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, we had remaining authorization to repurchase approximately $469.5 million of our common stock, subject to restrictions under our Credit Agreement.

10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

On June 10, 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved the Crocs, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, and other stock-based awards. The 2020 Plan replaces the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), and no further awards will be made under the 2015 Plan after the effective date of the 2020 Plan. Additionally, any awards that expire or are forfeited under the 2015 Plan become available for issuance under the 2020 Plan.

Income tax expense and effective tax rates were:

Income tax expense (benefit) (1,857) 5,478  5,830  11,097  
Effective tax rate(3.4)%12.3 %7.9 %14.8 %

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, was driven primarily by the utilization of deferred tax assets which were subject to a valuation allowance, tax expense recorded in profitable jurisdictions, and by operating losses in certain jurisdictions where we have determined that it is not more likely than not to realize the associated tax benefits. Our effective income tax rate, for each period presented, also differs from the federal U.S. statutory rate primarily due to differences in income tax rates between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, as well as utilization of deferred tax assets which were subject to a valuation allowance. There were no significant or unusual discrete tax items during the six months ended June 30, 2020. We had unrecognized tax benefits of $4.4 million and $4.6 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and we do not expect any significant changes in tax benefits in the next twelve months.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, income tax expense decreased $5.3 million compared to the same period in 2019. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was 7.9% compared to an effective tax rate of 14.8% for the same period in 2019, a 6.9% decrease. This decrease in the effective tax rate was driven primarily by the utilization of deferred tax assets which were subject to a valuation allowance, tax expense recorded in profitable jurisdictions, and by operating losses in certain jurisdictions where we have determined that it is not more likely than not to realize the associated tax benefits. Our effective income tax rate, for each period presented, also differs from the federal U.S. statutory rate primarily due to differences in income tax rates between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, as well as utilization of deferred tax assets which were subject to a valuation allowance.

Our tax rate is volatile and may increase or decrease with changes in, among other things, the amount of income or loss by jurisdiction, our ability to utilize net operating losses and foreign tax credits, changes in tax laws, and the movement of liabilities established pursuant to accounting guidance for uncertain tax positions as statutes of limitations expire, positions are effectively settled, or when additional information becomes available. There are proposed or pending tax law changes in various
15

Table of Contents
jurisdictions and other changes to regulatory environments in countries in which we do business that, if enacted, may have an impact on our effective tax rate.

We evaluate our ability to realize the tax benefits associated with deferred tax assets by analyzing our forecasted taxable income by considering both historical and projected future operating results, the reversal of existing temporary differences, taxable income in prior carry back years (if permitted) and the availability of tax planning strategies. As of June 30, 2020, valuation allowances remain in certain jurisdictions where we believe it is necessary to see further positive evidence, such as sustained achievement of cumulative profits, before these valuation allowances can be released. Given the current earnings trend, sufficient positive evidence may become available for us to release all or a portion of the valuation allowance within twelve months. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance releases are subject to change based on the level of profitability achieved in future periods. We will continue to assess the realizability of its deferred tax assets.

12. EARNINGS PER SHARE

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, an aggregate of less than 0.1 million options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because the effect was anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, 0.3 million and 0.2 million options and RSUs, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because the effect was anti-dilutive.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase Commitments

As of June 30, 2020, we had purchase commitments to third-party manufacturers, primarily for materials and supplies used in the manufacture of our products, for an aggregate of $130.9 million. We expect to fulfill our commitments under these agreements in the normal course of business, and as such, no liability has been recorded.

Other

We are regularly subject to, and are currently undergoing, audits by various tax authorities in the United States and several foreign jurisdictions, including customs duties, import, and other taxes for prior tax years.

During our normal course of business, we may make certain indemnities, commitments, and guarantees under which we may be required to make payments. We cannot determine a range of estimated future payments and have not recorded any liability for indemnities, commitments, and guarantees in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

See Note 15 — Legal Proceedings for further details regarding potential loss contingencies related to government tax audits and other current legal proceedings.

14. OPERATING SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

We have three reportable operating segments based on the geographic nature of our operations: Americas, Asia Pacific, and EMEA. In addition, the ‘Other businesses’ category aggregates insignificant operating segments that do not meet the reportable segment threshold, including corporate and supply chain operations.

Each of the reportable operating segments derives its revenues from the sale of footwear and accessories to external customers. Revenues for ‘Other businesses’ include non-footwear and accessories product sales to external customers that are excluded from the measurement of segment operating revenues and income.

Segment performance is evaluated based on segment results without allocating corporate expenses, or indirect general, administrative, and other expenses. Segment profits or losses include adjustments to eliminate inter-segment sales. Reconciling items between segment income from operations and income from operations consist of other businesses and unallocated corporate and other expenses, as well as inter-segment eliminations. We do not report asset information by segment because that information is not used to evaluate performance or allocate resources between segments. The following tables set forth information related to reportable operating segments:

15. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We were subjected to an audit by the Brazilian Federal Tax Authorities related to imports of footwear from China between 2010 and 2014. On January 13, 2015, we were notified about the issuance of assessments totaling 14.4 million Brazilian Real (“BRL”), or approximately $2.6 million at current exchange rates, plus interest and penalties, for the period January 2010 through May 2011. We disputed these assessments and asserted defenses to the claims. On February 25, 2015, we received additional assessments totaling 33.3 million BRL, or approximately $6.1 million at current exchange rates, plus interest and penalties, related to the remainder of the audit period. We also disputed these assessments and asserted defenses to these claims in administrative appeals. On August 29, 2017, we received a favorable ruling on our appeal of the first assessment, which dismissed all fines, penalties, and interest. The tax authorities have appealed that decision and we challenged the appeal on both the merits and procedure. Additionally, the second appeal for the remaining assessments was heard on March 22, 2018. That decision was partially favorable for us and resulted in an approximately 38% reduction in principal, penalties, and interest, leaving approximately $3.8 million at current exchange rates, plus interest and penalties, at risk for those assessments. The tax authorities have appealed that decision, and we filed a response to the tax authorities’ appeal as well as a separate appeal against the unfavorable portion of the ruling. Should the Brazilian Tax Authority prevail in this final administrative appeal, we may challenge the assessments through the court system, which would likely require the posting of a bond. We have not recorded these items within the condensed consolidated financial statements as it is not possible at this time to predict the timing or outcome of this matter or to estimate a potential amount of loss, if any.

For all other claims and disputes, as we are able, we estimate reasonably possible losses or a range of reasonably possible losses. As of June 30, 2020, we estimated that reasonably possible losses associated with these claims and other disputes could potentially exceed amounts accrued by up to $1.5 million.

Although we are subject to other litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business, including employment, intellectual property and product liability claims, other than as set forth above, we are not party to any other pending legal proceedings that we believe would reasonably have a material adverse impact on our business, financial results, and cash flows.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Business Overview

Crocs, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries (collectively the “Company,” “Crocs,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) are engaged in the design, development, worldwide marketing, distribution, and sale of casual lifestyle footwear and accessories for men, women, and children. We strive to be the world leader in innovative casual footwear for women, men, and children, combining comfort and style with a value that consumers want. The vast majority of shoes within our collection contain Croslite™ material, a proprietary, molded footwear technology, delivering extraordinary comfort with each step.

Known or Anticipated Trends

Based on our recent operating results and current perspectives on our operating environment, we anticipate certain trends will continue to impact our operating results:

COVID-19 has impacted our business globally, including through store closures or reduced operating hours and decreased retail traffic. Most of the 360 company-operated stores were closed for some period during the second quarter, as well as many partner and wholesale stores. As of June 30, 2020, 98% of our company-operated stores were open. Additional detail on company-operated stores by region is below.
Americas. Our company-operated stores closed in mid-March and started to reopen in mid-May. Currently, the majority of our stores in the United States are open.
Asia. Outside of China and Korea, most of our company-operated stores were closed for the majority of the quarter.
EMEA. Our company-operated stores in Western Europe closed in mid-April and reopened in mid-May, while stores in Russia closed in early April and reopened in early June.
While many brick-and-mortar stores were closed, Crocs.com and other digital commerce remained open. We saw strong sales in e-commerce as well as strong sell-through in e-tail and wholesale partner sites, as consumers migrated to online shopping. These strong growth rates have recently started to temper, and while digital penetration materially accelerated due to the crisis, we do not yet know if the recent growth in digital sales will continue at the same level.
To ensure the well-being of our employees and customers, our corporate offices, retail stores, and distribution centers have implemented various elevated safety protocols, in accordance with local guidelines and regulations, including temperature checks, mandatory mask policies, social distancing, access to hand sanitizer, and enhanced cleaning of the facilities. Our corporate offices have also actively managed attendance levels on any given day in accordance with local guidelines and regulations, and many of our corporate employees have continued to successfully conduct business virtually.
We expect to be cash flow positive for the remainder of 2020, barring any material, unforeseen changes in the pandemic or economic environment. We have continued to manage inventories by constraining incoming supply and focusing on core product, and we have continued working closely with both our customers and vendors to manage accounts receivable and accounts payable. At June 30, 2020, there were $275.0 million of borrowings outstanding on our credit facility after net repayments of $75.0 million during the second quarter. In July 2020, we repaid an additional $50.0 million of our outstanding debt on this facility. We also entered into two separate credit agreements in Asia in the second quarter of 2020, which provide for revolving credit facilities of up to 30.0 million RMB, or $4.2 million, and up to an equivalent of $5.0 million, respectively, but did not draw on either of facility during the second quarter or through July 30, 2020. Our borrowings may continue to fluctuate as we manage our liquidity needs. Finally, our share repurchases have remained temporarily suspended to preserve maximum liquidity and flexibility.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
In addition to financial measures presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), we present certain information related to our results of operations through “constant currency,” which is a non-GAAP financial measure and should be viewed as a supplement to our results of operations and presentation of reportable segments under U.S. GAAP. Constant currency represents current period results that have been retranslated using prior year average foreign exchange rates for the comparative period to enhance the visibility of the underlying business trends excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on reported amounts.

19

Table of Contents
Management uses constant currency to assist in comparing business trends from period to period on a consistent basis in communications with the Board of Directors, stockholders, analysts, and investors concerning our financial performance. We believe constant currency is useful to investors and other users of our condensed consolidated financial statements as an additional tool to evaluate operating performance and trends. Investors should not consider constant currency in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Second Quarter 2020 Financial and Operational Highlights

Revenues were $331.5 million for the second quarter of 2020, a 7.6% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2019. The decrease was due to the net effects of: (i) lower unit sales volumes, which decreased revenues by $47.2 million, or 13.2%, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic; (ii) higher average selling prices, driven by reduced promotions, higher pricing, shifts in channel mix, and increased sales of charms per shoe, increased revenues by $25.8 million, or 7.2%; and (iii) unfavorable changes in exchange rates, which decreased revenues by $5.9 million, or 1.6%.

The following were significant developments affecting our businesses and capital structure during the three months ended June 30, 2020:

During the second quarter of 2020, we opened our new global headquarters in Broomfield, Colorado, less than 20 miles outside of downtown Denver, and entered into a lease, which we expect to commence in the third quarter of 2020, for a new distribution center adjacent to our existing facility in Dayton, Ohio, which will be dedicated to e-commerce fulfillment and will significantly increase our distribution capacity in our Americas segment.
We sold 16.3 million pairs of shoes worldwide, a decrease from 19.0 million pairs in the second quarter of 2019.
Global e-commerce revenue increased by 67.7%, with strong performance across all three operating segments.
Gross margin was 54.3%, an increase of 150 basis points from last year’s second quarter, as a result of product mix, higher prices on certain product, and lower levels of promotions and discounts.
SG&A was $123.3 million compared to $141.5 million in the second quarter of 2019. As a percent of revenues, SG&A decreased 220 basis points to 37.2% of revenues compared to 39.4% of revenues in the second quarter of 2019, as we reduced expenses during the pandemic. Despite these reductions, second quarter 2020 results included $13.0 million in charges resulting from COVID-19, including donations of inventory of $8.2 million, employee separation costs of $2.4 million, and bad debt expense of $1.7 million.
Income from operations increased 18.3% to $56.6 million from $47.8 million in last year’s second quarter. Net income was $56.6 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, compared to $39.2 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, in last year’s second quarter.

Revenues. The continued spread and presence of the COVID-19 pandemic in the three months ended June 30, 2020 led to global sales volumes decreases compared to the same period in 2019, as many retail locations, partner stores, and brick-and-mortar retailers remained closed for part of the quarter. Fluctuations in foreign currencies, most prominently in the Korean Won, Chinese Yuan, Euro, and Russian Ruble also contributed to decreased revenues. However, increased ASP contributed to revenue growth as a result of fewer promotions and discounts, higher pricing on certain products, channel mix, and increased sales of charms per shoe. Our continued success in the e-commerce channel, further bolstered by consumer migration to online shopping during the pandemic, also increased revenues with a 67.7% increase in the channel compared to the prior year.

22

Table of Contents
In the six months ended June 30, 2020, revenue decreased as a result of lower volume, attributable to COVID-19, and negative currency changes, primarily in the Korean Won, Euro, Russian Ruble, and Brazilian Real. These decreases were offset in part by increases in ASP, primarily as a result of fewer promotions and discounts, price increases, and increased sales of charms per shoe.

Cost of sales. In the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, cost of sales decreased due to lower volume of $17.8 million, or 10.5%, and negative foreign currency fluctuations of $2.7 million, or 1.6%, across all segments. Global average cost per unit on a constant currency basis (“AUC”) increased cost of sales by $2.6 million, or 1.5%, primarily as a result of an inventory write-off in our Asia Pacific segment in response to COVID-19.

In the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, cost of sales decreased due to lower volume of $32.2 million, or 9.8%, and negative currency changes of $5.4 million, or 1.6%. Higher AUC partially offset these decreases by $8.3 million, or 2.5%, primarily due to higher costs as a result of changes in channel mix, purchasing power related to currency changes in our EMEA segment, and an inventory write-off in our Asia Pacific segment in response to COVID-19.

Gross profit. Gross margin in the three months ended June 30, 2020 was 54.3% compared to 52.8% in the same period in 2019, as a result of product mix, price increases, and fewer promotions and discounts. Gross profit decreased $9.4 million, or 5.0%, due to volume declines of $29.4 million, or 15.5%, and negative currency changes of $3.2 million, or 1.7%. Increases in ASP of $23.2 million, or 12.2%, partially offset these decreases.

Gross margin in the six months ended June 30, 2020 was 51.3% compared to 49.9% in 2019, due to product mix, price increases, and fewer promotions and discounts. Gross profit decreased $12.9 million, or 3.9%, as a result of lower volume of $43.0 million, or 13.1%, negative currency changes of $5.6 million, or 1.7%, while increases in ASP, partially offset by AUC, led to an increase in gross profit of $35.7 million, or 10.9%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. SG&A decreased $18.2 million, or 12.9%, during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, primarily as a result of various cost savings measures taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These included a reduction in compensation expense of $17.1 million, as a result of the temporary and permanent elimination of certain corporate and regional roles and a reduction in variable compensation, and a lower investment in marketing of $5.8 million. We also had decreased travel and related costs of $3.0 million as a result of the pandemic, decreased facilities costs of $2.8 million due to savings on variable rent at closed retail locations, and other net decreases in costs of $0.3 million. These decreases were partially offset by inventory donations to frontline healthcare workers and other organizations of $8.2 million and increases in bad debt expense of $2.6 million, primarily due to the impact of COVID-19 on distributors.

SG&A decreased $9.9 million, or 4.0%, during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, primarily as a result of various cost savings measures taken in response to COVID-19, including a reduction in compensation expense of $19.7 million due to the temporary and permanent elimination of certain roles and reduced variable compensation. We also had decreased facilities costs of $3.5 million, in part due to variable rent at closed retail stores, and decreased travel and related costs of $3.4 million, as a result of the pandemic. Partially offsetting these decreases were increases due to inventory donations of $9.9 million, bad debt expense of $5.5 million due to COVID-19 impacts on certain global distributors, and increases in other net costs of $1.3 million.

Foreign currency losses, net. Foreign currency losses, net, consist of realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses from the remeasurement and settlement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies as well as realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency derivative instruments. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized realized and unrealized net foreign currency losses of $0.7 million, compared to losses of $0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized realized and unrealized net foreign currency losses of $0.9 million, compared to losses of $1.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Income tax expense. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, income tax expense decreased $7.3 million compared to the same period in 2019. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was (3.4)% compared to an effective tax rate of 12.3% for the same period in 2019, a 15.7% decrease. The decrease in the effective rate was driven primarily by the utilization of deferred tax assets which were subject to a valuation allowance, tax expense recorded in profitable jurisdictions, and by operating losses in certain jurisdictions where we had determined that it is not more likely than not to realize the associated tax benefits. Our effective income tax rate, for each period presented, also differs from the federal U.S statutory rate primarily due to differences in income tax rates between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, as well as utilization of deferred tax assets which were subject to a valuation allowance.

Americas Operating Segment
 
Revenues. The increase in Americas revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, was primarily due to increased ASP in all channels, particularly as a result of less promotional activity, product mix, increased prices, and increased sales of charms per shoe, offset in part by decreased volume. Volume was down 53.8% in our retail channel, as our stores were closed for roughly half of the quarter as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Wholesale volume was down 14.3%, primarily driven by the closure of brick-and-mortar stores in South America as a result of COVID-19, offset in part by positive e-tailer growth. Increased e-commerce channel volume led to a 65.4% increase as our “A Free Pair for Healthcare” donation program drove online traffic and as customers continue to migrate shopping habits to digital commerce during the pandemic.

The increase in Americas revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, was largely due to increased ASP from product mix, price increases, less promotional activity, and increased sales of charms per shoe, and increased volume in our e-commerce channel, offset in part by decreased volumes in our retail and wholesale channels and negative currency changes, primarily in the Brazilian Real.

Income from Operations. Income from operations for our Americas segment was $64.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $7.3 million, or 12.8%, compared to the same period in 2019. Gross profit increased $10.3 million, or 10.7%, in part due to an increase in ASP of $28.8 million, or 30.0%, due to less promotional activity, product mix, and increased prices, partially offset by an increase in distribution and logistics costs. Decreased volume of $18.2 million, or 19.0%, and negative currency changes of $0.3 million, or 0.3%, partially offset the increase in gross profit. The change in gross profit in our Americas segment is somewhat offset by higher unallocated distribution costs within ‘Other Businesses.’

SG&A for our Americas segment increased $3.0 million, or 7.6%, during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. This was primarily due to inventory donations to frontline healthcare workers associated with COVID-19 of $7.8 million, an increase in bad debt expense of $2.1 million, primarily due to the impact of COVID-19 on our distributors, and an increase of $2.7 million in marketing and information technology costs, primarily as a result of variable costs associated with the increase of revenues in our e-commerce channel. These increases were partially offset by a $7.1 million decrease in compensation expense, largely due to the temporary and permanent elimination of certain roles in response to COVID-19, and a $2.5 million decrease in other net costs.

Income from operations for our Americas segment was $110.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $20.4 million, or 22.5%, compared to the same period in 2019. Gross profit increased $25.6 million, or 15.7%, primarily due to increased ASP of $45.7 million, or 28.0%, due to less promotional activity, product mix, and increased prices, partially offset by an increase in distributions and logistics costs. Lower sales volumes of $19.4 million, or 11.9%, and a $0.7 million, or 0.4%, decrease as a result of negative currency changes somewhat offset the gross profit increase. The change in gross profit in our Americas segment is somewhat offset by higher unallocated distribution costs within ‘Other Businesses.’

SG&A for our Americas segment increased $5.2 million, or 7.2%, during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. This was primarily due to $8.3 million of inventory donations associated with COVID-19, an increase of $3.8 million in marketing and information technology costs, primarily as a result of variable costs associated with the increase of revenues in our e-commerce channel, and a $2.5 million increase in bad debt expense, primarily due to the impact of COVID-19 on our distributors. These increases were offset by a $6.5 million reduction in compensation expense, primarily due

to the temporary and permanent elimination of certain roles in response to COVID-19, and other net cost reductions of $2.9 million.

Asia Pacific Operating Segment

Revenues. Asia Pacific revenues decreased in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. Sales volumes decreased as a result of the pandemic-related closure of partner and company-owned retail stores, which remained closed for the majority of the quarter. We also experienced a significant decline in our distributor markets, which are heavily reliant on tourism. Wholesale volume was down 48.8% and retail volume was down 21.0%. ASP decreased slightly, primarily due to lower e-commerce ASP as a result of increased promotional sales, mostly offset by increased sales of charms per shoe. These declines were offset in part by continued increases in e-commerce volume of 54.0% for the quarter due to an increase in online traffic as a result of the pandemic. The decrease was also driven by negative currency changes, primarily in the Korean Won and Chinese Yuan.

Asia Pacific revenues decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, due to lower volumes in our wholesale channel of 39.6% and our retail channel of 22.2%, partially offset by higher volume in our e-commerce channel of 49.7%. Wholesale and retail volumes declined due to the pandemic-related closure of partner and company-owned retail stores, which remained closed for the majority of the second quarter outside of China and Korea, while e-commerce volume increased as a result of consumer shift to digital commerce during the pandemic. ASP decreased, primarily due to lower e-commerce ASP as a result of increased promotional sales, partially offset by increased sales of charms per shoe. Negative currency impacts also contributed to the decline in revenues.

Income from Operations. Income from operations for the Asia Pacific segment was $16.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $11.8 million, or 41.9%, compared to the same period in 2019. Gross profit decreased by $14.7 million, or 22.7%, as a result of lower volumes of $7.5 million, or 11.7%, primarily in our wholesale and retail channels, partially offset by higher volume in e-commerce. Higher AUC as a result of higher distribution costs in Japan, higher freight rates in Japan and Korea, and an inventory write-off of $2.4 million as a result of the impact of COVID-19 contributed to a gross profit decrease of $5.6 million, or 8.6%, while currency continued to negatively impact gross margin by $1.6 million, or 2.4%.

SG&A for our Asia Pacific segment decreased $2.9 million, or 7.8%, during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, due to a $1.7 million decrease in facilities expense, primarily related to savings on variable rent at closed retail locations, a $1.0 million reduction in compensation expense due to the temporary and permanent elimination of certain roles in response to COVID-19, and other decreases in net costs of $0.2 million.

Income from operations for the Asia Pacific segment was $25.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $29.0 million, or 53.0%, compared to the same period in 2019. Gross profit decreased by $29.0 million, or 26.0%, in part due to lower volume of $18.1 million, or 16.2%, as a result of store closures during the pandemic, and by $8.4 million, or 7.6%, due to higher AUC, partially offset by ASP, as a result of higher distribution and logistics costs, primarily in the second quarter of 2020 and an inventory write-off of $2.4 million as a result of the impact of COVID-19. Negative currency impacts decreased gross profit by $2.5 million, or 2.2%. The change in gross profit in our Asia Pacific segment is somewhat offset by decreased unallocated distribution costs within ‘Other Businesses.’

SG&A for our Asia Pacific segment was mostly flat in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The increase in costs in the first quarter of 2020 were offset by the reduction in costs in the second quarter of 2020.

EMEA Operating Segment
 
Revenues. Revenues decreased in our EMEA segment in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, in part due to lower sales volumes of 67.1% in our retail channel, particularly in Russia where stores were closed until June as a result of the pandemic, and negative currency impacts, primarily in the Euro and Russian Ruble. These decreases were partially offset by increases of 48.6% in e-commerce volume, as customers continue to migrate shopping habits to digital commerce during the pandemic, and in ASP as a result of changes in product mix and fewer promotions and discounts.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, EMEA revenues decreased compared to the same period in 2019 due to lower retail and wholesale sales volumes of 51.9% and 8.7%, respectively, partially offset by higher e-commerce volume of 37.2%. These decreases were driven by store closures during the pandemic, while e-commerce volume continued to increase due to continued customer migration to the channel. An increase in ASP resulted primarily from changes in product mix and fewer promotions and discounts. Currency negatively impacted revenues as a result of fluctuations in the Euro and Ruble.

Income from Operations. Income from operations for the EMEA segment was $20.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 9.7%, compared to the same period in 2019. Gross profit decreased $3.8 million, or 10.4%, due to lower sales volumes of $2.6 million, or 7.0%, and negative currency impacts of $1.2 million, or 3.3%. The change in gross profit in our EMEA segment is mostly offset by decreased unallocated distribution costs within ‘Other Businesses.’

SG&A for our EMEA segment decreased $1.6 million, or 11.6%, during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. This was primarily due to a $1.0 million reduction in compensation expense and a $0.7 million reduction in facilities expense due to savings on variable rent at closed retail locations, partially offset by increases in other net costs of $0.1 million.

Income from operations for the EMEA segment was $38.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $9.6 million, or 20.1%, compared to the same period in 2019. Gross profit decreased $10.6 million, or 14.3%, due to lower sales volumes of $6.7 million, or 9.1%, negative currency impacts of $2.2 million, or 3.0%, and higher AUC, partially offset by higher ASP of $1.7 million, or 2.2%, as a result of purchasing power from currency changes, primarily in the first quarter of 2020. The change in gross profit in our EMEA segment is somewhat offset by decreased unallocated distribution costs within ‘Other Businesses.’

SG&A for our EMEA segment decreased $1.0 million, or 3.8%, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to a $1.2 million reduction in compensation expense, offset in part by increases in other net costs of $0.2 million.

Other Businesses and Unallocated Corporate

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, total net costs within ‘Other Businesses’ and ‘Unallocated Corporate and Other’ decreased $15.4 million compared to the same period in 2019. This decrease was primarily as a result of various defensive measures taken in response to COVID-19, including a decrease in compensation expense of $8.1 million from the temporary and permanent elimination of certain roles and reduced variable compensation, as well as a lower investment in marketing of $7.3 million and other net cost decreases of $1.2 million. There were also net higher supply chain costs of $1.2 million, primarily as a result of higher unallocated distribution costs between ‘Other Businesses’ and the regions, offset in part by costs in 2019, that did not recur in 2020, when we opened our U.S. distribution center.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, total net costs within ‘Other Businesses’ and ‘Unallocated Corporate and Other’ decreased $15.2 million compared to the same period in 2019. This decrease was primarily as a result of various defensive measures taken in response to COVID-19, including a decrease in compensation expense of $10.9 million due to the temporary and permanent elimination of certain roles and a reduction in variable compensation, as well as a lower investment in marketing of $4.5 million. There were also net lower supply chain costs of $1.1 million, primarily as a result of costs in 2019, that did not recur in 2020, when we opened our U.S. distribution center, offset in part by higher unallocated distribution costs between ‘Other Businesses’ and the regions. Other net cost increases of $1.3 million partially offset these decreases.

(2) Comparable store status is determined on a monthly basis. Comparable store sales includes the revenues of stores that have been in operation for more than twelve months. Stores in which selling square footage has changed more than 15% as a result of a remodel, expansion, or reduction are excluded until the thirteenth month in which they have comparable prior year sales. Temporarily closed stores are excluded from the comparable store sales calculation during the month of closure. Location closures in excess of three months are excluded until the thirteenth month post re-opening. E-commerce revenues are based on same site sales period over period.

Financial Condition, Capital Resources, and Liquidity

Liquidity

Our liquidity position as of June 30, 2020 was:
June 30, 2020
(in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents$151,370  
Available borrowings224,400  

As of June 30, 2020, we had $151.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and up to $224.4 million of remaining borrowing availability under our Facility (as defined below), which was amended in March 2020 to provide additional flexibility and borrowing commitments as we continue to operate in a business landscape impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We also entered into two revolving credit facility agreements in Asia during the three months ended June 30, 2020, which are discussed in more detail under “Asia Revolving Credit Facilities” below. We have continued to take other defensive measures to maximize liquidity in response to COVID-19, including reducing expenses, primarily through the temporary and permanent elimination of certain corporate and regional roles and a reduced investment in marketing, extending payment terms with vendors, managing inventory levels by constraining incoming supply and focusing on core product, deferring discretionary capital expenditures, and suspending our share repurchase and foreign currency exchange derivative programs. Additionally, through June 30, 2020, we received rent concessions from landlords of $5.6 million, the majority of which are expected to be paid back by the end of 2020. We have also encountered payment term extension requests and, thus, delays in collections from our customers, and we have recognized bad debt write-offs of $1.7 million and $4.5 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, associated with global distributors as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

30

Table of Contents
Based on these actions, we believe that cash flows from operations, our cash and cash equivalents on hand, and available borrowings under our Facility will be sufficient to meet our ongoing liquidity needs and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. Additional future financing may be necessary to fund our operations, and there can be no assurance that, if needed, we will be able to secure additional debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to us or at all, especially in light of the market volatility and uncertainty as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. Although we believe we have adequate sources of liquidity over the long term, the success of our operations, the global economic outlook, and the pace of sustainable growth in our markets, in each case, in light of the market volatility and uncertainty as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, among other factors, could impact our business and liquidity.

Seasonality

Due to the seasonal nature of our footwear, which is more heavily focused on styles suitable for warm weather, revenues generated during our fourth quarter, when the northern hemisphere is experiencing cooler weather, are typically less than revenues generated during our first three quarters. Accordingly, cash flows from operating activities during our first quarter are typically lower as we collect on the related fourth quarter customer receivables and as customer receivables and inventories rise in preparation for the Spring/Summer season. Cash flows from operating activities generated during our second and third quarters are generally higher, when the northern hemisphere is experiencing warmer weather. Accordingly, results of operations and cash flows for any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of expected results for any other quarter or for any other year.

Repatriation of Cash

As a global business, we have cash balances in various countries, and amounts are denominated in various currencies. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates impact our results of operations and cash positions. Future fluctuations in foreign currencies may have a material impact on our cash flows and capital resources. Cash balances held in foreign countries may have additional restrictions and covenants associated with them which could adversely impact our liquidity and our ability to timely access and transfer cash balances between entities.

All of the cash held outside of the U.S. could be repatriated to the U.S. without incurring additional U.S. federal income taxes. As of June 30, 2020, we held $107.1 million of our total $151.4 million in cash in international locations. This cash is primarily used for the ongoing operations of the business in the locations in which the cash is held. None of the $107.1 million held in international locations is limited by local regulations. If the remaining $107.1 million were to be immediately repatriated to the U.S., no additional U.S. federal income tax expense would be incurred.

Senior Revolving Credit Facility

In July 2019, the Company and certain of our subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), with the lenders named therein and PNC Bank, National Association, as a lender and administrative agent for the lenders, which provided for a revolving credit facility of $450.0 million. In March 2020, we amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, increase the total commitments under the Credit Agreement by $50.0 million, resulting in total commitments of $500.0 million, which can be increased by an additional $100.0 million subject to certain conditions (the “Facility”). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate based on (A) a domestic base rate (defined as the highest of (i) the Federal Funds open rate, plus 0.25%, (ii) the Prime Rate, and (iii) the Daily LIBOR rate, plus 1.00%), plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% or 0.875% based on our leverage ratio, or (B) a LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.875% based on our leverage ratio. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by all of the assets of the Borrowers and guaranteed by certain other subsidiaries of the Borrowers.

The Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of 4.00 to 1.00, and a maximum leverage ratio of (i) 4.00 to 1.00 until September 30, 2020, (ii) 3.50 to 1.00 from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021, and (iii) 3.25 to 1.00 from March 31, 2022 and thereafter (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances). The Credit Agreement permits (i) stock repurchases subject to certain restrictions, including after giving effect to such stock repurchases, the maximum leverage ratio does not exceed certain levels; and (ii) certain acquisitions so long as there is borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement of at least $40.0 million. As of June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.

Table of Contents
As of June 30, 2020, the total commitments available from the lenders under the Facility were $500.0 million. At June 30, 2020, we had $275.0 million in outstanding borrowings, which are due when the Facility matures in July 2024, and $0.6 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Facility, which reduces amounts available for borrowing under the Facility. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $224.4 million and $240.4 million, respectively, of available borrowing capacity under the Facility, and we have repaid an additional $50.0 million of our outstanding borrowings under the Facility subsequent to June 30, 2020. Our borrowings may continue to fluctuate as we manage our liquidity needs.

Asia Revolving Credit Facilities

In the three months ended June 30, 2020, we entered into two separate credit agreements in Asia, which provide for revolving credit facilities with China Merchants Bank Company Limited, Shanghai Branch (the "CMBC Facility") and Citibank (China) Company Limited, Shanghai Branch (the "Citibank Facility").

The CMBC Facility provides a revolving credit facility of up to 30.0 million RMB, or $4.2 million at current exchange rates, and matures in May 2021. For RMB loans under the CMBC Facility, interest is determined at the time of borrowing based on variable rates in effect at that time.

The Citibank Facility provides a revolving credit facility of up to an equivalent of $5.0 million and matures in June 2021. For RMB loans under the Citibank Facility, interest is based on a National Interbank Funding Center 1-year prime rate, plus 65 basis points. For USD loans under the Citibank Facility, interest is based on a LIBOR rate, plus 1.5%.

We had no borrowings under our Asia revolving facilities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and year ended December 31, 2019 or borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Operating Activities. Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operating activities, consisting of net income adjusted for noncash items and changes in working capital. Cash provided by operating activities increased $20.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, driven by higher net income, adjusted for non-cash items, of $22.4 million and by net decreases in operating assets and liabilities of $2.3 million. The change in operating assets and liabilities resulted primarily from decreased accounts payable, offset in part by decreased inventories, resulting from tightened inventory management as a result of COVID-19. Additionally, accrued expenses decreased as a result of annual payouts of variable compensation related to our performance in 2019. The change in operating assets and liabilities was further offset by decreased accounts receivable associated with lower revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019.

Investing Activities. The $5.5 million increase in cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily reflects expenditures related to the relocation of our Corporate headquarters in Broomfield and continued investment in our U.S. distribution center.

Financing Activities. Cash provided by financing activities increased by $47.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was primarily driven by the decrease in repurchases of our common stock of $69.3 million, as part of our response to the COVID-19 outbreak, and a final payment of $3.0 million in 2019 related to the conversion of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that did not recur in the current year. Partially offsetting increases in cash provided by financing activities was a $25.0 million decrease in borrowings, net of repayments, on our Facility.

Contractual Obligations

In the three months ended June 30, 2020, we entered into a lease that has not yet commenced related to the expansion of our U.S. distribution center in Dayton, Ohio. The total contractual commitment related to this lease, with payments expected to begin August 2020 and continuing through September 2030, is approximately $26.2 million, as described in Note 4 — Leases in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

There have been no other significant changes to the contractual obligations reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, other than borrowings on the Facility, as described above and in Note 7 — Revolving Credit Facilities and Bank Borrowings in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2020, other than certain purchase commitments, which are described in Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an on-going basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and Note 2 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no other significant changes in our critical accounting policies or their application since December 31, 2019.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We centrally manage our debt and investment portfolios considering investment opportunities and risks, tax consequences, and overall financing strategies. Our exposure to market risk includes interest rate fluctuations in connection with our Facility and certain financial instruments.

Borrowings under our Facility bear interest at a variable rate and are therefore subject to risk based upon prevailing market interest rates. Interest rates fluctuate as a result of many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors that are beyond our control.

As of June 30, 2020, we had $275.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $0.6 million in outstanding letters of credit under our Facility. As of December 31, 2019, we had $205.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $4.6 million in outstanding letters of credit under our Facility.

A hypothetical increase of 1% in the interest rate on these borrowings would have increased interest expense by $0.7 million and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Changes in exchange rates have a direct effect on our reported U.S. Dollar condensed consolidated financial statements because we translate the operating results and financial position of our international subsidiaries to U.S. Dollars using current period exchange rates. Specifically, we translate the statements of operations of our foreign subsidiaries into the U.S. Dollar reporting currency using exchange rates in effect during each reporting period. As a result, comparisons of reported results between reporting periods may be impacted significantly due to differences in the exchange rates in effect at the time such exchange rates are used to translate the operating results of our international subsidiaries.

An increase of 1% of the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to foreign currencies, excluding the impact on our purchasing power, would have decreased our income before taxes during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 by $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The volatility of the exchange rates is dependent on many factors that cannot be forecasted with reliable accuracy.

We may enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to buy or sell various foreign currencies to selectively protect against volatility in the value of non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. Changes in the fair value of these forward contracts are recognized in earnings in the period that the changes occur. To maximize liquidity and cash flow during the COVID-19 pandemic, we did not enter into any foreign currency exchange forward contracts in the three months ended June 30, 2020.

See Part I - Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the impact of the change in foreign exchange rates on our U.S. Dollar condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as such item is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2020, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applies its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures that, by their nature, can only provide reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the three months ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — Other Information
 
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

A discussion of legal matters is found in Note 15 — Legal Proceedings in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
 
You should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, or future results. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors included in our Annual Report.

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, and may continue to have, a material adverse impact on our business, operations, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to drive global uncertainty and disruption and has spread throughout the geographic regions in which we run our business and where our suppliers, third-party manufacturers, retail stores, wholesale customers, and consumers are located. The pandemic had a material impact on our retail and wholesale channel revenues in the first half of 2020, and the total impact of the pandemic on us will depend on developments outside of our control, including, among other factors, the duration and spread of the outbreak, actions that may be taken by governmental authorities to contain the outbreak or mitigate its impact, including related restrictions on movement and commercial activities, the economic or other impacts on our wholesale partners, the impact on and recovery time of our supply chain, consequential staffing shortages, manufacturing delays and the uncertainty with respect to the accessibility of additional liquidity or to the capital markets.

Additionally, many of our 360 company-operated stores, our partner stores, and wholesale partner stores globally were closed during much of the second quarter. While most of our company-operated stores were reopened by June 30, 2020, some may close again upon additional COVID-19 outbreaks. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the length of time the remaining or future closures will remain in effect, if further closures will occur, or if consumers will return to purchasing our products at historical levels in retail locations, and the inability to sell our products in our retail or wholesale channels has had and will continue to have a material adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations.

We also rely upon the facilities of our third-party manufacturers outside of the U.S. to support our business as well as to export our products throughout the world. As a result of COVID-19 and the measures designed to contain the spread of the virus, our third-party manufacturers may not have the materials, capacity, or capability to manufacture our products according to our schedule and specifications, which may negatively impact our ability to manage inventories. If our third-party manufacturers’ operations are curtailed, we may need to seek alternate manufacturing sources, which may be unavailable, more expensive, or face the same constraints. The duration of any production and supply chain disruption, and related financial impact, if any, cannot be estimated at this time. Should any production and distribution closures continue for an extended period of time, the impact on our global supply chain could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows. See We depend solely on third-party manufacturers located outside the U.S.” in Item 1A - Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The effects of COVID-19 could affect our ability to successfully operate in many ways, including, but not limited to, the following factors:

the impact of the pandemic on the economies and financial markets of the countries and regions in which we operate, including a potential global recession, a decline in consumer confidence and spending, or a further increase in unemployment levels, has resulted, and could continue to result, in consumers having less disposable income and, in turn, decreased sales of our products;
“shelter in place” and other similar mandated or suggested isolation protocols, which have disrupted, and could continue to disrupt, our retail locations, partner stores, and brick-and-mortar retailers via store closures or reduced operating hours and decreased retail traffic;
difficulty accessing debt and equity on attractive terms, or at all, and a severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deterioration in credit and financing conditions may affect our ability to access capital necessary to operate our business;

our success in attempting to reduce operating costs and conserve cash;
our inability to obtain additional rent and other relief from our landlords if retail stores close in response to another outbreak, which may involve litigation or other disruptions;
the failure of our wholesale customers, to whom we extend credit to pay amounts owed to us on time, or at all, particularly if such customers are significantly impacted by COVID-19;
the risk that even after the pandemic has initially subsided, fear of COVID-19 re-occurrence could cause customers to avoid public places where our stores and those of our wholesale partners are located such as malls and outlets;
the risk that the increase in digital commerce sales, which have recently started to temper, does not continue;
we may be required to revise certain accounting estimates and judgments such as, but not limited to, those related to the valuation of long-lived assets and deferred tax assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
The rapid development and fluidity of the pandemic precludes any prediction as to the ultimate impact of COVID-19. The full extent of the impact and effects of COVID-19 on our business, operations, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations remain uncertain at this time.
