| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 305 "Cash and Cash Equivalents," 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 consists of cash collateral held for standby letters of credit and payments related to claims for its captive insurance program, which is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Concentration of Credit Risk 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. As of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's accounts receivable balance. Accounts Receivable and Credit Losses - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through customer receivables associated with the sale of products within the Company's wholesale channel and through credit card receivables associated with the sale of products within the Company's direct-to-consumer channel. Credit is extended to wholesale customers based on a credit review. The credit review considers each customer's financial condition, including a review of the customer's established credit rating or, if an established credit 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 invoice terms are established for each customer based on the outcome of this review. To mitigate credit risk from the wholesale channel, the Company may require customers to provide security in the form of guarantees, letters of credit, deposits, collateral or prepayment. Further, to mitigate certain risk from other wholesale customers, the Company has acquired specific trade accounts receivable insurance policies. The allowance for doubtful accounts, which is recorded within accounts receivable, net on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets, is based on the Company's assessment of the collectability of customer accounts receivable. In accordance with ASC Topic 326 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses," the Company makes ongoing estimates relating to the collectability 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, recorded within accounts receivable, net for the periods presented.
Inventories Inventories consist primarily of finished goods. Costs of finished goods inventories include all costs incurred to bring inventory to its current condition, including inbound freight, duties, tariffs and other costs. In accordance with ASC Topic 330 "Inventory," the Company values its inventory at standard cost, which approximates the first-in, first-out method of cost determination. Net realizable value is estimated based upon assumptions made about future demand and retail market conditions. If the Company determines that the estimated net realizable value of its inventory is less than the carrying value of such inventory, it records a charge to cost of goods sold to reflect the lower of cost or net realizable value. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by the Company, further adjustments may be required that would increase the cost of goods sold in the period in which such a determination was made. Property and Equipment In accordance with ASC Topic 360 "Property, Plant and Equipment," property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded within Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company includes the cost associated with software customized for internal use within property and equipment on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Property and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
The Company periodically reviews its assets' estimated useful lives based upon actual experience and expected future utilization. A change in useful life is treated as a change in accounting estimate and is applied prospectively. The Company capitalizes the cost of interest for long-term property and equipment projects based on the Company's weighted average borrowing rates in place while the projects are in progress. Capitalized interest was $6.5 million as of March 31, 2026 (March 31, 2025: $7.0 million). Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses for that period. Major additions and betterments are capitalized to the asset accounts while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Leases The Company enters into operating leases domestically and internationally for certain warehouse space, office facilities, space for its Brand and Factory House stores, and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. The leases expire at various dates through 2038, excluding extensions at the Company's option, and include provisions for rental adjustments. In accordance with ASC Topic 842 "Leases," the Company accounts for a contract as a lease when it has the right to direct the use of the asset for a period of time while obtaining substantially all of the asset's economic benefits. The Company determines the initial classification and measurement of its right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date and thereafter if modified. ROU assets represent the Company's right to control the underlying assets under lease over the contractual term. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the present value of future minimum lease payments to be made over the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities are established on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets for leases with an expected term greater than one year. ROU assets and lease liabilities are not recognized for leases with an expected term less than one year ("short-term lease") and the lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As the rate implicit in a lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its secured incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. The Company calculates the incremental borrowing rate based on the current market yield curve and adjusts for foreign currency impacts for international leases. Fixed lease costs are included in the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities. Variable lease costs are not included in the measurement of the lease liability. Variable lease payments are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Variable lease costs primarily consist of lease payments dependent on sales in Brand and Factory House stores and other non-lease components payable to the lessor, including common area maintenance and real estate taxes. The Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components in the determination of lease costs for its leases. The lease liability includes lease payments related to options to extend or renew the lease term only if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise those options. Long-Lived and Definite-Lived Intangible Assets The Company continually evaluates long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets and whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful life of long-lived assets may warrant revision or that the remaining balance may not be recoverable. These factors may include a significant deterioration of operating results, changes in business plans, or changes in anticipated cash flows. When factors indicate that an asset should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company reviews long-lived assets to assess recoverability from future operations using undiscounted cash flows. If future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment is recognized in earnings to the extent that the carrying value exceeds fair value. During Fiscal 2026, the Company performed an impairment analysis on its long-lived assets, including retail stores at an individual store level, and determined that certain long-lived assets had net carrying values that exceeded their estimated undiscounted future cash flows. Accordingly, the Company estimated the fair values of these long-lived assets based on their discounted cash flows or market rent assessments and compared these estimated fair values to the net carrying values. The significant estimates used in the fair value methodology, which are based on Level 3 inputs, include expectations for future operations and projected cash flows, including net revenue, gross profit and operating expenses and market conditions, including estimated market rent. As a result, the Company recorded $2.1 million of long-lived asset impairment charges within selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and as a reduction to the related asset balances on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The long-lived asset impairment charges for Fiscal 2026 are included within the Company's operating segments as follows: $0.9 million recorded in North America and $1.2 million recorded in Asia-Pacific. Further, the Company recorded impairment charges of $18.7 million during Fiscal 2026 in connection with the 2025 restructuring plan, primarily relating to the previously disclosed decision to exit the Company's distribution facility in Rialto, California, which was recorded within restructuring charges on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 11 to these Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details. During Fiscal 2025, the Company recorded $8.8 million of long-lived asset impairment charges within expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and as a reduction to the related asset balances on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The long-lived asset impairment charges for Fiscal 2025 are included within the Company's operating segments as follows: $4.8 million recorded in North America, $2.7 million recorded in EMEA and $1.2 million recorded in Asia-Pacific. The Company also recognized an impairment charge of $28.4 million during Fiscal 2025 as a result of vacating its former global headquarters, which was recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Further, the Company recorded impairment charges of $8.6 million during Fiscal 2025 in connection with the 2025 restructuring plan, which was recorded within restructuring charges on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 11 to these Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details. During Fiscal 2024, the Company recorded $5.6 million of long-lived asset impairment charges within selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and as a reduction to the related asset balances on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The long-lived asset impairment charges for Fiscal 2024 are included within the Company's operating segments as follows: $3.6 million recorded in EMEA, $1.7 million recorded in North America and $0.3 million recorded in Asia-Pacific. Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition and are allocated to the reporting units that are expected to receive the related benefits. The Company’s reporting units generally align with its operating segments, however, North America consists of three reporting units, each of which qualifies as a component one level below the operating segment in accordance with ASC Topic 280 “Segment Reporting”. Refer to Note 5 to these Consolidated Financial Statements for the allocation of goodwill by operating segment. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized and, in accordance with ASC Topic 350 "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other," are required to be tested for impairment at least annually or sooner whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying amount. If indicators of impairment exist, the Company first performs a recoverability test on its long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets within each reporting unit. If an impairment of a long-lived asset or definite-lived intangible asset is identified, the carrying value of the respective reporting unit is reduced prior to performing a goodwill impairment test. Refer to “long-lived asset and definite-lived intangible assets” above for additional details on the Company’s annual recoverability assessment. The Company performs its annual impairment testing in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. In conducting an annual impairment test, the Company may review qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, or it may choose to bypass the qualitative assessment and perform a quantitative impairment test. When performing a qualitative assessment, the Company considers factors including, but not limited to, historical and expected future financial performance, macroeconomic conditions, industry trends and changes in the legal and regulatory environment. If these factors indicate that it is “more likely than not” that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value, the Company performs a quantitative impairment test. When performing a quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the estimated fair value of the reporting unit or indefinite-live intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the goodwill of the reporting unit or the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The fair value of each reporting unit is estimated using the discounted cash flows model, under the income approach, which indicates the fair value of the reporting unit based on the present value of the cash flows that the Company expects the reporting unit to generate in the future. Key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model include weighted average cost of capital, long-term growth rate and profitability of the reporting unit's business and working capital effects. The Company believes the key assumptions used in its annual impairment testing are reasonable. However, they involve estimates and require significant judgment, and therefore are inherently uncertain and subject to change in the future. In Fiscal 2026, the Company performed a qualitative impairment assessment of its goodwill and concluded that there were no indications that the fair value of any reporting unit was more likely than not below its carrying value. Additionally, the Company continues to believe the fair value of each of its reporting units substantially exceeds its carrying value. Therefore, the Company did not proceed with a quantitative test and no goodwill impairments were recorded during Fiscal 2026. In Fiscal 2025, the Company elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and performed a quantitative impairment test of its goodwill for all reporting units. The Company engaged a third party valuation specialist to assist with determining the fair value of its reporting units, which was estimated using a discounted cash flow model. Based on the results of the quantitative impairment test, the Company concluded that the estimated fair value of all reporting units substantially exceeded their carrying value and that no other potential events or circumstances were identified that indicated any reporting unit was a risk of impairment. Therefore, no goodwill impairments were recorded during Fiscal 2025. The Company performed qualitative impairment assessment of its goodwill in Fiscal 2024 and concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit substantially exceeded its carrying value. Accordingly, the Company did not perform a quantitative impairment test and no goodwill impairments were recorded during Fiscal 2024. No indefinite-lived intangible impairments were recorded during Fiscal 2026 or Fiscal 2025. During Fiscal 2024, the Company recorded an indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charge of $0.6 million within on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and as a reduction to the related asset balances on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The indefinite lived intangible asset impairment charge for Fiscal 2024 is included within the Company's Latin America operating segment. Accrued Expenses Accrued expenses consisted of the following:
Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." Net revenues primarily consist of net sales of apparel, footwear and accessories, and license revenues. 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 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. From time to time, based on market circumstances, the Company does grant certain customers with longer than average payment terms. Payment is generally due at the time of sale for direct-to-consumer transactions. Gift cards 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's process for estimating revenue recognized for gift card balances not expected to be redeemed (“breakage”) is based on historical gift card redemption data. 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, the Company recognizes gift card breakage at that time when the likelihood of the gift card being redeemed is remote. Loyalty Program The Company offers customer loyalty programs in which customers earn points based on purchases and other promotional activities that can be redeemed for discounts on future purchases or other rewards. A contract liability is estimated based on the standalone selling price of benefits earned by customers through the programs and the related redemption experience under the programs, net of estimated breakage. The value of each point earned is recorded as contract liabilities and is included within other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Licensing Arrangements 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. Customer returns, allowances, markdowns, and discounts 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets. At a minimum, the Company reviews and refines these estimates on a quarterly basis. Other Policy Elections The Company has made a policy election to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as a fulfillment cost rather than an additional promised service. Additionally, prior to the sale of the MapMyFitness digital platform during the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company elected not to disclose certain information related to unsatisfied performance obligations for subscriptions to the platform, as they had an original expected length of one year or less. Shipping and Handling Costs Shipping and handling fees that are charged to customers based on contractual terms are recorded in net revenues. Freight costs associated with shipping goods to customers are recorded as a component of cost of goods sold. Additionally, outbound handling costs associated with preparing goods to ship to customers and certain costs to operate the Company's distribution facilities are recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. For Fiscal 2026, outbound handling costs totaled $77.5 million (Fiscal 2025: $78.0 million; Fiscal 2024: $79.8 million). Marketing and Advertising Costs Marketing and advertising costs are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising production costs are expensed the first time an advertisement related to such production costs is run. Media placement costs are expensed in the month during which the advertisement appears, and costs related to event sponsorships are expensed when the event occurs. In addition, marketing and advertising costs include sponsorship expenses. Accounting for sponsorship payments is based upon specific contract provisions and the payments are generally expensed uniformly over the term of the contract after recording expense related to specific performance incentives once they are deemed probable. Marketing and advertising costs, including amortization of in-store marketing fixtures and displays, was $502.3 million for Fiscal 2026 (Fiscal 2025: $549.9 million; Fiscal 2024: $568.5 million). As of March 31, 2026, prepaid marketing and advertising costs were $14.6 million (March 31, 2025: $23.8 million). Income Taxes In accordance with ASC Topic 740 "Income Taxes," ("Topic 740") income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities at tax rates expected to be in effect when such assets or liabilities are realized or settled. Deferred income tax assets are reduced by valuation allowances when necessary. The Company has made the policy election to record any liability associated with Global Intangible Low Tax Income ("GILTI") in the period in which it is incurred. Income taxes include the largest amount of tax benefit for an uncertain tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. Settlements with tax authorities, the expiration of statutes of limitations for particular tax positions or obtaining new information on particular tax positions may cause a change to the effective tax rate. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes line on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Topic 740 requires an evidence based approach when assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets and the need for valuation allowance reserves against those assets. Assessing whether deferred tax assets are realizable requires significant judgment. On a quarterly basis, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including historical operating performance and expectations of future operating performance when assessing the need for valuation allowances. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is often dependent upon future taxable income and therefore can be uncertain. Topic 740 requires that if the weight of negative evidence is greater than positive evidence, a valuation allowance should be established, which increases income tax expense in the period when such a determination is made. As previously disclosed, the Company has been actively monitoring potential detrimental impacts to the realizability of its U.S. federal deferred tax assets, including continued pressure of tariffs and pressure from the current global trade environment on forecasted short-term U.S. profitability. During Fiscal 2026, the Company expanded the 2025 restructuring plan and incurred additional litigation reserve expense related to previously disclosed insurance carrier litigation. These recent developments have caused the negative evidence to outweigh the positive evidence, and therefore, in accordance with Topic 740, the Company has recorded valuation allowances on all U.S. federal deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, for the majority of the U.S. states and certain foreign taxing jurisdictions, the Company believes the weight of the negative evidence continues to outweigh the positive evidence regarding the realization of these deferred tax assets and has maintained valuation allowances against these assets. During the period ended March 31, 2026, the Company achieved three-year cumulative taxable earnings in China. As a result of this significant positive evidence, the Company has released the valuation allowances recorded against its deferred tax assets in China. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Any stock-based compensation awards that are determined to be participating securities, which are stock-based compensation awards that entitle the holders to receive dividends prior to vesting, are included in the calculation of basic earnings per share using the two class method. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders for the period by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, restricted stock units, other equity awards and, prior to their maturity, the Company's 1.50% convertible senior notes due 2024. Refer to Note 16 to these Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of earnings per share. Business Combinations Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method, in accordance with ASC Topic 805 “Business Combinations,” by assigning the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Acquired goodwill is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be recorded, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Equity Method Investment The Company holds common stock investments in certain entities which it has the ability to exercise significant influence but not control over. These investments are accounted for under the equity method. The Company records its allocable share of income or loss within income (loss) from equity method investment on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and as an adjustment to the invested balance within other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Equity method investments are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate the investment may be other than temporarily impaired. The following is a summary of the Company’s equity method investments: •In November 2024, the Company invested $7.5 million in exchange for 29.5% common stock ownership in ISC Sport (ISC), an Australian custom teamwear company. For Fiscal 2026, the Company recorded its allocable share of ISC's net income of $0.2 million (Fiscal 2025: $0.2 million). As of March 31, 2026, the carrying value of the Company's investment in ISC was $7.2 million (March 31, 2025: $7.3 million). •The Company has a common stock investment of 29.5% in its Japanese licensee. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, there was no carrying value associated with this investment and therefore the Company did not record its allocable share of the Japanese licensee's net loss for Fiscal 2026 or Fiscal 2025. During Fiscal 2024, the Company recorded $(0.3) million of its allocable share of the Japanese licensee's net loss. In connection with the license agreement with the Japanese licensee, the Company recorded license revenues of $26.3 million for Fiscal 2026 (Fiscal 2025: $26.4 million; Fiscal 2024: $34.8 million). As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $14.0 million in licensing receivables outstanding recorded in the prepaid expenses and other current assets line item within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets (March 31, 2025: $13.7 million). •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"). For Fiscal 2026, the Company recorded its allocable share of UA Sports Thailand's net loss of $(0.4) million (Fiscal 2025: $0.4 million; Fiscal 2024: $0.3 million). As of March 31, 2026, the carrying value of the Company's investment in UA Sports Thailand was $5.2 million (March 31, 2025: $5.3 million). Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation," which requires all stock-based compensation awards granted to be measured at fair value and recognized as an expense in the financial statements over the service period. Excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation awards are reflected as operating cash flows. New shares of Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock are issued upon exercise of stock options, grant of restricted stock or share unit conversion. Refer to Note 12 to these Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on stock-based compensation. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair market value of stock option awards. The "simplified method" is used to estimate the expected life of options, as permitted by accounting guidance. The "simplified method" calculates the expected life of a stock option equal to the time from grant to the midpoint between the vesting date and contractual term, taking into account all vesting tranches. The risk free interest rate is based on the yield for the U.S. Treasury bill with a maturity equal to the expected life of the stock option. Expected volatility is based on the Company's historical average. Compensation expense is recognized net of forfeitures on a straight-line basis over the total vesting period, which is the implied requisite service period. The Company uses the Monte Carlo pricing model to estimate the fair value of performance-based awards with market conditions. Compensation expense for performance-based awards with market conditions is recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company uses grant date fair value for other awards, including time-based award and performance-based awards with performance conditions. Compensation expense for time-based awards is recorded over the vesting period and performance-based awards with performance conditions is recorded over the implied requisite service period when achievement of the performance target is deemed probable. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company assesses fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement". Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To determine fair value, the Company uses the fair value hierarchy, which establishes three levels based on the objectivity of the inputs as follows:
The carrying amounts shown for the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short term maturity of those instruments. The estimated fair value of the Company's long term debt is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments or quoted prices for identical instruments in inactive markets (level 2). The carrying value of amounts outstanding on the Company's revolving credit facility approximates fair value due to the variable nature of interest rates and current market rates available to the Company. The carrying value of the Company's restricted investments approximates its fair value based on the nature of the investment being a short-term fixed income security. The fair value of a foreign currency contract is based on the net difference between the U.S. dollars to be received or paid at the contract's settlement date and the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency to be sold or purchased at the current exchange rate. The fair value of an interest rate swap contract is based on the net difference between the fixed interest to be paid and variable interest to be received over the term of the contract based on current market rates. Derivatives and Hedging Activities The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency and interest rate swap contracts to minimize the risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations. The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 815 "Derivatives and Hedging." This guidance establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative financial instruments and requires all derivatives to be recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and to be measured at fair value. Unrealized derivative gain positions are recorded as other current assets or other long term assets, and unrealized derivative loss positions are recorded as other current liabilities or other long term liabilities, depending on the derivative financial instrument's maturity date. For contracts designated as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value are reported as other comprehensive income and are recognized in current earnings in the period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects current earnings. One of the criteria for this accounting treatment is the notional value of these derivative contracts should not be in excess of specifically identified anticipated transactions. By their very nature, the Company's estimates of the anticipated transactions may fluctuate over time and may ultimately vary from actual transactions. When anticipated transaction estimates or actual transaction amounts decline below hedged levels, or if it is no longer probable a forecasted transaction will occur by the end of the originally specified time period or within an additional two-month period of time, the Company is required to reclassify the cumulative change in fair value of the over-hedged portion of the related hedge contract from other comprehensive income (loss) to other income (expense), net during the period in which the decrease occurs. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions The functional currency for each of the Company's wholly owned international subsidiaries is generally the applicable local currency. In accordance with ASC Topic 830 "Foreign Currency Matters," the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for assets and liabilities using current foreign currency exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using average foreign currency exchange rates during the period. Capital accounts are translated at historical foreign currency exchange rates. Translation gains and losses are included in stockholders' equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Adjustments that arise from foreign currency exchange rate changes on transactions, primarily driven by intercompany transactions, denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in other income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements The Company assesses the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). The following ASUs were recently adopted: Income Tax In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"), which requires expanded income tax disclosures primarily related to an entity's effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 during Fiscal 2026 on a prospective basis. The adoption expanded the Company's disclosures but did not impact its consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 15 to these Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements The Company assessed all recently issued ASUs and, other than those described below, determined them to be either not applicable or expected to have no material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Hedge Accounting Improvements In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09 "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements" ("ASU 2025-09"), which includes amendments to more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of an entity’s risk management activities. ASU 2025-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within that annual period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Internal-Use Software In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software: Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software" ("ASU 2025-06"), which modernizes the recognition and disclosure framework for internal-use software costs, removing the previous "development stage" model and introducing a more judgment-based approach. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within that annual period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Credit Losses In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets" ("ASU 2025-05"), which provides a practical expedient for the application of the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model to current accounts receivable and contract assets. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 effective April 1, 2026 on a prospective basis. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
