FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document contains “forward-looking statements,” which are statements relating to future, not past, events. In this context, forward-looking statements often address management’s current beliefs, assumptions, expectations, estimates and projections about future business and financial performance, global political, economic and market conditions, and the Company itself. Such statements often contain words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “is likely,” “plans,” “predicts,” “projects,” “should,” “will,” variations of such words, and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements, by their nature, address matters that are, to varying degrees, uncertain. Uncertainties that could cause the Company’s performance to differ materially from what is expressed in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
 
 	•	 	changes in national, regional or global economic and market conditions;	
 
 	•	 	the impact of financial and credit markets on the Company, its suppliers and customers;	
 
 	•	 	changes in interest rates, tax laws, duties, tariffs, quotas or applicable assessments in countries of import and export;	
 
 	•	 	the impact of regulation, regulatory and legal proceedings and legal compliance risks;	
 
 	•	 	currency fluctuations;	
 
 	•	 	currency restrictions;	
 
 	•	 	changes in future pension funding requirements and pension expenses;	
 
 	•	 	the risks of doing business in developing countries, and politically or economically volatile areas;	
 
 	•	 	the ability to secure and protect owned intellectual property or use licensed intellectual property;	
 
 	•	 	changes in consumer preferences, spending patterns, buying patterns, price sensitivity or demand for the Company’s products;	
 
 	•	 	the impact of seasonality and unpredictable weather conditions;	
 
 	•	 	changes in relationships with, including the loss of, significant customers;	
 
 	•	 	the cancellation of orders for future delivery;	
 
 	•	 	the failure of the Department of Defense to exercise future purchase options or award new contracts, or the cancellation or modification of existing contracts by the Department of Defense or other military purchasers;	
 
 	•	 	matters relating to the Company’s recent acquisition of the Performance + Lifestyle Group business of Collective Brands, Inc. (“PLG” or “the PLG acquisition”), including the Company’s ability to realize the benefits of the PLG acquisition or to do so on a timely basis, the Company’s ability to combine its business with PLG successfully or in a timely and cost-efficient manner, the degree of business disruption relating to the PLG acquisition, and the Company’s increased indebtedness following the PLG acquisition;	
 
 	•	 	the cost, availability and management of raw materials, inventories, services and labor for owned and contract manufacturers;	
 
 	•	 	problems affecting the Company’s distribution system, including service interruptions at shipping and receiving ports;	
 
 	•	 	the failure to maintain the security of personally identifiable and other information of the Company’s customers and employees;	
 
 	•	 	the inability for any reason to effectively compete in global footwear, apparel and consumer direct markets; and	
 
 	•	 	strategic actions, including new initiatives and ventures, acquisitions and dispositions, and the Company’s success in integrating acquired businesses and implementing new initiatives and ventures.

These uncertainties could cause a material difference between an actual outcome and a forward-looking statement. The uncertainties included here are not exhaustive and are described in more detail in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012, and any information regarding such Risk Factors included in the Company’s subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012.
Correction of Immaterial Error
The Company made a correction to an immaterial error, related to certain accounts receivable allowances disclosed in the consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10-K”). In the consolidated balance sheets in the 2012 Form 10-K, the amount parenthetically disclosed for allowances at December 29, 2012 in the “Accounts receivable, less allowances” line item should have been $26.7 million. The Company has corrected this parenthetical disclosure of accounts receivable allowances prospectively in the consolidated condensed balance sheet for the current quarter in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This correction had no impact on the fiscal 2012 net earnings, cash flows or the amount of “Accounts receivable, less allowances.”
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized on the sale of products manufactured or sourced by the Company when the related goods have been shipped, legal title has passed to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue generated from licensees and distributors involving products bearing the Company’s trademarks is recognized as earned according to stated contractual terms upon either the purchase or shipment of branded products by licensees and distributors.
The Company records provisions for estimated sales returns and allowances at the time of sale based on historical rates of returns and allowances and specific identification of outstanding returns not yet received from customers. However, estimates of actual returns and allowances in any future period are inherently uncertain and actual returns and allowances may differ from these estimates. If actual or expected future returns and allowances were significantly greater or lower than established reserves, a reduction or increase to net revenues would be recorded in the period this determination was made.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold includes the actual product costs, including inbound and certain outbound freight charges, purchasing, sourcing, inspection and receiving costs. Warehousing costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses with the exception of certain consumer direct warehousing costs which are included in cost of goods sold.
Seasonality
The Company’s business is subject to seasonal influences and the Company’s fiscal year has 12 weeks in each of the first three fiscal quarters and, depending on the fiscal calendar, 16 or 17 weeks in the fourth fiscal quarter. Both of these factors can cause significant differences in revenue, earnings and cash flows from quarter to quarter; however, the differences have followed a consistent pattern in previous years.

2.	NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS	
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income  (“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 requires preparers to report, in one place, information about reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). For significant items reclassified out of AOCI to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period, reporting (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the accompanying notes) is required about the effect of the reclassifications on the respective line items in the statement where net income is presented. For items that are not reclassified to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period, a cross reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP is required in the accompanying notes. The above information must be presented in one place (parenthetically on the face of the financial statements by income statement line item or in a note). The ASU is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted ASU 2012-02 in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, and the adoption did not affect the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In July 2012, FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (ASC Topic 350) Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (“ASU 2012-02”). ASU 2012-02 amends prior indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing guidance. Under ASU 2012-02, the Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after considering the totality of events and circumstances, an entity determines it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is not impaired, then calculating the fair value of such asset is unnecessary. The Company adopted the ASU in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, and the adoption did not affect the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
3.	EARNINGS PER SHARE	
The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, Earnings Per Share  (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting, and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method. Under the guidance in ASC 260, the Company’s unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are participating securities and must be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

(1)	Borrowings shown for June 16, 2012 were under the Company’s previous revolving credit facility.	
On October 9, 2012, the Company completed all conditions precedent for the receipt of funding under a new credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with a bank syndicate. The New Credit Agreement provided the Company with a $1,100.0 million secured credit facility, consisting of a Term Loan A Facility in an aggregate amount of up to $550.0 million (the “Term Loan A Facility”), a Term Loan B Facility in an aggregate amount up to $350.0 million (the “Term Loan B Facility”) and a Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount of up to $200.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The New Credit Agreement also provided the Company with the option to increase the aggregate principal amount of all facilities by up to an additional amount such that the total amount of all of the facilities does not exceed $1,300.0 million. At June 15, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and outstanding letters of credit of $1.9 million. As of December 29, 2012, the only usage against the Revolving Credit Facility was related to outstanding letters of credit totaling approximately $1.9 million.
As required by the New Credit Agreement, the Company also entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $462.2 million that reduces the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on its variable rate debt. This derivative instrument was designated as a cash flow hedge of its variable rate debt.
The Term Loan A Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility each has a term of five years and the Term Loan B Facility has a term of seven years. The interest rates applicable to amounts outstanding under the Term Loan A Facility and to U.S. dollar

Table of Contents
denominated amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility will be, at the Company’s option, either (1) the alternate base rate as defined in the New Credit Agreement plus an applicable margin of 1.00%, or (2) the Eurocurrency Rate as defined in the New Credit Agreement plus an applicable margin of 2.00%. The interest rate applicable to amounts outstanding under the Term Loan B Facility will be, at the Company’s option, either (1) the alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.00%, or (2) the higher of the Eurocurrency Rate or 1.00% plus an applicable margin of 3.00%.
The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $100.0 million foreign currency subfacility under which borrowings may be made, subject to certain conditions, in Canadian dollars, British pounds, euros, Hong Kong dollars, Swedish kronor, Swiss francs and such additional currencies determined in accordance with the New Credit Agreement. The Revolving Credit Facility also includes a $35.0 million swingline subfacility and a $50.0 million letter of credit subfacility.
The obligations of the Company pursuant to the New Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the personal and real property of the Company and its material domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.
The New Credit Agreement also contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) to, among other things: incur or guarantee indebtedness; incur liens; pay dividends or repurchase stock; enter into transactions with affiliates; consummate asset sales, acquisitions or mergers; prepay certain other indebtedness; or make investments, as well as covenants restricting the activities of certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company that hold intellectual property related assets. Further, the New Credit Agreement requires compliance with the following financial covenants: a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio; a maximum Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio; and a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio. As of June 15, 2013 the Company was in compliance with all such restrictions and financial covenants.
On October 9, 2012, the Company also issued a total of $375.0 million in senior notes in a private placement offering (the “Notes”). The Notes bear interest at 6.125% and are due in 2020. Related interest payments are due semi-annually. The Notes are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.
For the 12 and 24 weeks ended June 15, 2013, the Company included in interest expense the amortization of deferred financing costs of approximately $1.6 million and $3.1 million, respectively. For the 12 and 24 weeks ended June 16, 2012, the Company included in interest expense the amortization of deferred financing costs of approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
The Company used the net proceeds from the Notes, together with the borrowings under the Term Loan Facilities and cash on hand, to finance the acquisition of PLG, repay any amounts outstanding under prior indebtedness, and terminate its previous revolving credit facility and provide for the working capital needs of the Company, including the payment of transaction expenses in connection with the acquisition.
Cash flow from operations, along with borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is expected to be sufficient to meet the Company’s working capital needs for the foreseeable future. Any excess cash flows from operating activities are expected to be used to purchase property, plant and equipment, reduce debt, fund internal and external growth initiatives, pay dividends or repurchase the Company’s common stock.

7.	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT	
The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which provides a consistent definition of fair value, focuses on exit price, prioritizes the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs for measuring fair value and establishes a three-tier hierarchy for fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires fair value measurements to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1:	  	Fair value is measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.	
 	 	
Level 2:	  	Fair value is measured using either direct or indirect inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for similar assets or liabilities.	
 	 	
Level 3:	  	Fair value is measured using valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.	
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, foreign currency forward exchange contracts, an interest rate swap agreement, borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility and long-term debt. The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments is historical cost, which approximates their fair value, except for the interest rate swap and foreign currency forward exchange contracts, which are carried at fair value. As of June 15, 2013 the carrying value and the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, including current maturities, were $1,184.7 million and $1,228.6 million, respectively. As of December 29, 2012, the carrying value and the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, including current maturities, were $1,250.0 million and $1,308.9 million, respectively. Fair values were calculated by discounting the future cash flows of the financial instruments to their present value, using interest rates currently offered for borrowings and deposits of similar nature and remaining maturities. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.
The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), which is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting and requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value by establishing criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships. The Company utilizes foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage the volatility associated with U.S. dollar inventory purchases made by non-U.S. wholesale operations in the normal course of business. At June 15, 2013 and June 16, 2012, foreign exchange contracts with a notional value of $106.9 million and $109.0 million, respectively were outstanding to purchase U.S. dollars with maturities ranging up to 336 days for both periods. These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges.
The following table sets forth financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated condensed balance sheets and the respective pricing levels to which the fair value measurements are classified within the fair value hierarchy as of June 15, 2013 and June 16, 2012.

 	  	Fair Value Measurements

Foreign exchange contracts liability	  	$	2.0	  	  	$	—  	  	
Interest rate swap liability	  	$	0.1	  	  	$	—  	  	
The fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts represents the estimated receipts or payments necessary to terminate the contracts. Hedge effectiveness is evaluated by the hypothetical derivative method. Any hedge ineffectiveness is reported within the cost of goods sold caption of the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive income. Hedge ineffectiveness was not material to the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements for the 12 and 24 weeks ended June 15, 2013 and June 16, 2012. If, in the future, the foreign exchange contracts are determined to be ineffective hedges or terminated before their contractual termination dates, the Company would be required to reclassify into earnings all or a portion of the unrealized amounts related to the cash flow hedges that are currently included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity.
The Company has one interest rate swap agreement which exchanges floating rate for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the agreement without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. The notional amounts of the interest rate swap agreement are used to measure interest to be paid or received and do not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss.
 
15

Table of Contents
The differential paid or received on the interest rate swap agreements is recognized as interest expense. The Company’s interest rate swap arrangement, which reduces the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on its variable rate debt, has a notional amount of $462.2 million. This derivative instrument, which, unless otherwise terminated, will expire on October 6, 2017, has been designated as a cash flow hedge of the debt. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company formally documented the relationship between the interest rate swap and the variable rate borrowings, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process included linking the derivative to the specific liability or asset on the balance sheet. The Company also assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative used in the hedging transaction is highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. The effective portion of unrealized gains (losses) is deferred as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and will be recognized in earnings at the time the hedged item affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of the change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.
 
8.	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION	
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation  (“ASC 718”). The Company recognized compensation expense of $6.5 million and $13.7 million, and related income tax benefits of $2.1 million and $4.5 million, for grants under its stock-based compensation plans for the 12 and 24 weeks ended June 15, 2013, respectively.
The Company recognized compensation expense of $4.2 million and $7.9 million, and related income tax benefits of $1.4 million and $2.5 million, for grants under its stock-based compensation plans for the 12 and 24 weeks ended June 16, 2012, respectively.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive income is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and, as such, has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on historical experience.
The Company estimated the fair value of employee stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The estimated weighted-average fair value for each option granted was $10.41 and $10.72 for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2013 and June 16, 2012, respectively, with the following weighted-average assumptions:

(2)	Represents the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect for the expected term of the option at the time of grant.	
(3)	Represents the Company’s cash dividend yield for the expected term.	
(4)	Represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. As part of the determination of the expected term, the Company concluded that all employee groups exhibit similar exercise and post-vesting termination behavior.	
The Company issued 151,197 and 952,282 shares of common stock in connection with new restricted stock grants made and the exercise of stock options during the 12 and 24 weeks ended June 15, 2013, respectively. During the 12 and 24 weeks ended June 15, 2013, the Company cancelled 49,976 and 55,820 shares, respectively, of common stock issued under restricted stock awards as a result of forfeitures.
The Company issued 164,289 and 837,883 shares of common stock in connection with new restricted stock grants made and the exercise of stock options during the 12 and 24 weeks ended June 16, 2012, respectively. During the 12 and 24 weeks ended June 16, 2012, the Company cancelled 4,917 and 15,609 shares, respectively, of common stock issued under restricted stock awards as a result of forfeitures.

10.	INCOME TAXES	
The Company’s effective tax rate for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2013 and June 16, 2012 was 24.2% and 7.0%, respectively. For the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2013 and June 16, 2012, the Company’s effective tax rate was 22.2% and 10.4%, respectively. The lower effective tax rates in the prior year periods reflect the benefits of a favorable court decision in a foreign tax jurisdiction supporting the Company’s long-term global tax planning strategies.
The Company maintains certain strategic management and operational activities in overseas subsidiaries, and its foreign earnings are taxed at rates that are generally lower than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate. A significant amount of the Company’s earnings are generated by its Canadian, European and Asia Pacific subsidiaries and, to a lesser extent, in other foreign jurisdictions that are not subject to income tax and free trade zones where the Company owns manufacturing operations. The Company has not provided for U.S. taxes for earnings generated in foreign jurisdictions because it plans to reinvest these earnings indefinitely outside the U.S. However, if certain foreign earnings previously treated as permanently reinvested are repatriated, the additional U.S. tax liability could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s after-tax results of operations and financial position.
The Company is subject to periodic audits by domestic and foreign tax authorities. Currently, the Company is undergoing routine periodic audits in both domestic and foreign tax jurisdictions. It is reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits could change in the next 12 months as a result of the audits; however, any payment of tax is not expected to be significant to the consolidated financial statements.
For the majority of tax jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2008.
 
11.	LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES	
The Company is involved in various environmental claims and other legal actions arising in the normal course of business. The environmental claims include sites where the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has notified the Company that it is a potentially responsible party with respect to environmental remediation. These remediation claims are subject to ongoing environmental impact studies, assessment of remediation alternatives, allocation of costs between responsible parties and concurrence by regulatory authorities and have not yet advanced to a stage where the Company’s liability is fixed. However, after taking into consideration legal counsel’s evaluation of all actions and claims against the Company, it is management’s opinion that the outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company is involved in routine litigation incidental to its business and is a party to legal actions and claims, including, but not limited to, those related to employment and intellectual property. Some of the legal proceedings include claims for compensatory as well as punitive damages. While the final outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, considering, among other things, the meritorious legal defenses available and liabilities that have been recorded along with applicable insurance, it is management’s opinion that the outcome of these items will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company has future minimum royalty and advertising obligations due under the terms of certain licenses held by the Company. These minimum future obligations are as follows:

(In millions)	  	2013	 	  	2014	 	  	2015	 	  	2016	 	  	2017	 	  	Thereafter

Table of Contents
Minimum royalties are based on both fixed obligations and assumptions regarding the consumer price index. Royalty obligations in excess of minimum requirements are based upon future sales levels. In accordance with these agreements, the Company incurred royalty expense of $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for the 12 and 24 weeks ended June 15, 2013. For the 12 and 24 weeks ended June 16, 2012, the Company incurred royalty expense of $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively.
The terms of certain license agreements also require the Company to make advertising expenditures based on the level of sales. In accordance with these agreements, for the 12 and 24 weeks ended June 15, 2013 the Company incurred advertising expense of $1.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively. For the 12 and 24 weeks ended June 16, 2012, the Company incurred advertising expense of $0.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively.
 
12.	BUSINESS SEGMENTS	
During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company reorganized its portfolio of 16 brands, including the PLG brands acquired in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, into the following three operating segments, which the Company has determined are reportable operating segments.
 
 	•	 	Lifestyle Group, consisting of Sperry Top-Sider® footwear and apparel, Stride Rite® footwear, Hush Puppies® footwear and apparel,  Keds ®  footwear, and  Soft Style ®  footwear;	
 
 	•	 	Performance Group, consisting of Merrell® footwear and apparel, Saucony® footwear and apparel, Chaco® footwear, Patagonia ®  footwear, and  Cushe ®  footwear; and	
 
 	•	 	Heritage Group, consisting of Wolverine® footwear and apparel, Cat® footwear, Bates® uniform footwear, Sebago® footwear and apparel,  Harley-Davidson ®  footwear, and  HyTest ®  Safety footwear.	
The reportable segments are engaged in designing, manufacturing, sourcing, marketing, licensing and distributing branded footwear, apparel and accessories. Reported revenue of the reportable operating segments includes revenue from the sale of branded footwear, apparel and accessories to third-party customers; royalty income from the licensing of the Company’s trademarks and brand names to third-party licensees and distributors; and revenue from the Company’s mono-branded consumer direct business. The operating segment managers of the Lifestyle, Performance and Heritage Group operating segments all report directly to the Chief Operating Decision Maker. Prior year results have been restated to reflect these new reportable operating segments.
The Other category consists of the Company’s multi-branded consumer direct business, leather marketing operations, and sourcing operations which include third-party commission revenues. The Corporate category consists primarily of unallocated corporate expenses including acquisition-related transaction and integration expenses. This segment structure is consistent with the way management makes operating decisions, allocates resources and manages the growth and profitability of the Company’s business. The Company allocated goodwill in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other  in connection with the reorganization of the Company’s brand portfolio in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
The accounting policies of each operating segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies set forth in Note 1 to the consolidated condensed financial statements.

13.	BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS	
On October 9, 2012, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of PLG as well as certain other assets. Consideration paid to acquire PLG was approximately $1,249.5 million in cash. PLG markets casual and athletic footwear, apparel and related accessories for adults and children under well-known brand names including  Sperry Top-Sider ® , Saucony ® , Stride Rite ® ,  and  Keds ® . The Company accounted for the acquisition under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 805,  Business Combinations . The related assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date. The operating results for PLG are included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations beginning October 9, 2012.
The Company funded the transaction using a combination of approximately $88.8 million of cash on hand and new borrowings. The Company’s debt financing included net proceeds from the term loan debt associated with the Company’s New Credit Agreement and net proceeds from the Company’s Notes.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company reorganized its brand portfolio into three reportable operating segments. PLG’s operating results are included in the Performance Group and the Lifestyle Group operating segments.
For the 12 weeks ended June 15, 2013, the Company incurred $7.9 million of acquisition-related transaction and integration costs. These costs include compensation expenses ($5.4 million), other purchased services ($2.0 million) and professional and legal fees ($0.5 million). For the 12 weeks ended June 16, 2012, the Company incurred $4.9 million of acquisition-related transaction and integration costs. These costs included professional and legal fees ($4.7 million) and other purchased services ($0.2 million).

For the 24 weeks ended June 15, 2013, the Company incurred $23.1 million of acquisition-related transaction and integration costs. These costs include compensation expenses ($15.7 million), other purchased services ($3.7 million), amortization related to short-lived intangible assets ($2.4 million) and professional and legal fees ($1.3 million). For the 24 weeks ended June 16, 2012, the Company incurred $4.9 million of acquisition-related transaction and integration costs. These costs included professional and legal fees ($4.7 million) and other purchased services ($0.2 million).
During the measurement period, the Company made certain post-closing adjustments related to the valuation of a receivable due from the seller and other assets and accruals which resulted in a net reduction to goodwill of $0.7 million. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the PLG acquisition:

The allocations of the purchase price above are still considered preliminary and are based upon valuation information available and estimates and assumptions made at December 29, 2012 and June 15, 2013. The Company is still verifying data and finalizing information related to the valuation and recording of identifiable intangible assets, deferred income taxes, uncertain tax provisions and accrued pension liabilities and the resulting effects on the amount of recorded goodwill. The Company expects to finalize these matters within the measurement period, which is currently expected to remain open through the third quarter of fiscal 2013.
The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired of $418.9 million was preliminarily recorded as goodwill in the consolidated condensed balance sheets and has been assigned to the Performance Group and Lifestyle Group reportable operating segments as follows:

(In millions)	  	Goodwill from the acquisition of PLG	 	
 	 	
Performance Group	  	$	76.5	  	
Lifestyle Group	  	 	342.4	  	
 	  	 	 	 	
Total	  	$	418.9	  	
 	  	 	 	 	
The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies and the assembled workforce of PLG. Substantially all of the goodwill is not amortizable for income tax purposes.

Total intangible assets acquired	  	$	820.6	  	  	 	 	 	
 	  	 	 	 	  	 	 	 	
The Company preliminarily assigned fair values to the identifiable intangible assets through a combination of the relief from royalty and the excess earnings methods.
At the time of the acquisition, a step-up in the value of inventory of $4.0 million was recorded in the allocation of the purchase price based on valuation estimates, all of which was charged to cost of sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 as the inventory was deemed sold. In addition, fixed assets were written up by approximately $18.8 million to their estimated fair market value based on a valuation method that included both cost and market approaches. This additional step-up in value is being depreciated over the estimated remaining useful lives of the assets.
 
14.	SUBSEQUENT EVENT	
On July 11, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend payable on November 1, 2013 to stockholders of record as of October 1, 2013.

ITEM 2.	Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations	
OVERVIEW
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
The Company is a leading global designer, manufacturer and marketer of branded footwear, apparel and accessories. The Company’s stated mission is to “ Excite Consumers Around the World with Innovative Footwear and Apparel that Bring Style to Purpose .” The Company seeks to fulfill this mission by offering innovative products and compelling brand propositions; complementing its footwear brands with strong apparel and accessories offerings; expanding its global consumer direct footprint; and delivering supply chain excellence.
The Company’s portfolio consists of 16 brands that were marketed in approximately 200 countries and territories at June 15, 2013. This diverse brand portfolio and broad geographic reach position the Company for continued strong organic growth. The Company’s brands are distributed into the marketplace via owned operations in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and certain countries in continental Europe. In other regions (Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East, Africa and Europe), the Company relies on a network of third-party distributors, licensees and joint ventures. At June 15, 2013, the Company operated 444 brick-and-mortar retail stores in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom and 63 consumer direct websites.
2013 FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
 
 	•	 	Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was $587.8 million, an increase of 88.0% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2012.	
 
 	•	 	Gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was 41.0%, an increase of 320 basis points from the second quarter of fiscal 2012.	
 
 	•	 	Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 34.7% for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to 30.5% for the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The year-over-year increase was impacted by acquisition-related transaction and integration costs, incremental amortization expense, incremental pension and compensation expense, a higher percentage of revenue derived from consumer direct activities and incremental brand building investments.	
 
 	•	 	The effective tax rate in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was 24.2% compared to 7.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The lower effective tax rate in the prior year second quarter reflects the benefits of a favorable court decision in a foreign jurisdiction supporting the Company’s long-term global tax planning strategies.	
 
 	•	 	Reported diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 were $0.36 compared to $0.42 per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2012.	
 
 	•	 	The Company declared cash dividends of $0.12 per share in both the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

REVENUE
Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 increased $275.1 million from the second quarter of fiscal 2012 to $587.8 million. The acquisition of the PLG business, effective in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, drove the increase during the quarter. Changes in foreign exchange rates decreased reported revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 by $0.9 million.
Revenue for the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 increased $598.2 million from the first two quarters of fiscal 2012 to $1,233.7 million. The acquisition of the PLG business, effective in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, drove the increase during the period. Changes in foreign exchange rates decreased reported revenue for the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 by $1.0 million.
GROSS MARGIN
For the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company’s gross margin was 41.0% compared to 37.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The increase was driven by favorable mix of 430 basis points and higher selling prices of 70 basis points, which were partially offset by higher product costs of 190 basis points.
Gross margin for the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 was 40.8% compared to 39.4% for the first two quarters of fiscal 2012. The increase was driven by favorable mix of 170 basis points and higher selling prices of 200 basis points, which were partially offset by higher product costs of 200 basis points.

OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses increased $108.8 million, from $95.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 to $204.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Approximately $3.0 million of the increase relates to higher acquisition-related transaction and integration costs associated with the integration of PLG. For the second quarter of fiscal 2013 these costs were $7.9 million including compensation expenses ($5.4 million), other purchased services ($2.0 million) and professional and legal fees ($0.5 million). For the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company incurred $4.9 million of acquisition-related transaction and integration costs including professional and legal fees ($4.7 million) and other purchased services ($0.2 million). Incremental amortization expense ($4.6 million), incremental brand building investments ($4.0 million), incremental compensation expense ($3.9 million) and incremental pension expense ($2.1 million) also contributed to the increase in operating expenses. The remainder of the operating expense increase is due to the inclusion of the operating expenses of the newly acquired PLG business within the Company’s results.
Operating expenses were $415.1 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2013, an increase of $224.6 million from the first two quarters of fiscal 2012. Approximately $18.2 million of the increase relates to higher acquisition-related transaction and integration costs associated with the integration of PLG. For the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 these costs were $23.1 million including compensation expenses ($15.7 million), other purchased services ($3.7 million), amortization related to short-lived intangible assets ($2.4 million) and professional and legal fees ($1.3 million). For the first two quarters of fiscal 2012, the Company incurred $4.9 million of acquisition-related transaction and integration costs including professional and legal fees ($4.7 million) and other purchased services ($0.2 million). Incremental amortization expense ($9.8 million), incremental brand building investments ($6.6 million), incremental compensation expense ($6.4 million) and incremental pension expense ($4.3 million) also contributed to the increase in operating expenses. The remainder of the operating expense increase is due to the inclusion of the operating expenses of the newly acquired PLG business within the Company’s results.
INTEREST, OTHER AND TAXES
Net interest expense was $12.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to $0.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The increase is due to an increase in the Company’s long-term debt levels in connection with the acquisition of the PLG business.
Net interest expense was $25.4 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 compared to $0.8 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2012. The increase is due to an increase in the Company’s long-term debt levels in connection with the acquisition of the PLG business.
The Company’s effective tax rates in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 were 24.2% and 7.0%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates in the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 were 22.2% and 10.4%, respectively. The lower effective tax rates in the prior year periods reflects the benefits of a favorable court decision in a foreign tax jurisdiction supporting the Company’s long-term global tax planning strategies. The Company maintains certain strategic management and operational activities in overseas subsidiaries, and its foreign earnings are taxed at rates that are generally lower than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate. A significant amount of the Company’s earnings are generated by its Canadian, European and Asia Pacific subsidiaries and, to a lesser extent, in other foreign jurisdictions that are not subject to income tax and free trade zones where the Company owns manufacturing operations. The Company has not provided for U.S. taxes for earnings generated in foreign jurisdictions because it plans to reinvest these earnings indefinitely outside the U.S. However, if certain foreign earnings previously treated as permanently reinvested are repatriated, the additional U.S. tax liability could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s after-tax results of operations and financial position.

Performance Group
The Performance Group’s revenue increased $50.4 million, or 33.8%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The increase was due to the inclusion of the newly acquired  Saucony ®  brand, partially offset by a decrease at a rate in the low teens for the Merrell ®  brand due to macroeconomic challenges in Europe, planned reductions in sales to the discount channel in the U.S., softness in the outdoor footwear category, and the timing of shipments to a significant third party distributor.
The Performance Group’s revenue increased $138.3 million, or 45.8%, in the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 compared to the first two quarters of fiscal 2012. The increase was due to the inclusion of the newly acquired  Saucony ®  brand, partially offset by a mid single digit rate decrease for the Merrell ®  brand.
The Performance Group’s operating profit increased $13.6 million, or 20.1%, in the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 compared to the first two quarters of fiscal 2012. A mid teen rate decrease in the  Merrell ®  brand due to volume decreases was more than offset by the inclusion of the newly acquired  Saucony ®  brand.
Heritage Group
The Heritage Group’s revenue decreased $0.9 million, or 0.8%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2012.
The Heritage Group’s revenue decreased $1.6 million, or 0.7%, in the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 compared to the first two quarters of fiscal 2012.

The remainder of the increase is due to variable expenses that fluctuate with sales volume.
The Corporate operating loss was $116.4 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 compared to a $51.5 million operating loss in the first two quarters of fiscal 2012. The drivers of the $64.9 million increase in operating loss include $29.6 million of corporate costs for the acquired PLG business and an increase of $18.2 million for PLG acquisition-related transaction and integration costs. The Company also incurred increased compensation costs ($6.3 million), pension costs ($4.3 million) and inventory reserve adjustments ($2.2 million).

Liquidity
Cash and cash equivalents of $171.0 million as of the second quarter of fiscal 2013 were $14.4 million higher compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2012. In addition, the Company had an additional $198.1 million available under its Revolving Credit Facility as of June 15, 2013.
Operating Activities
The principal source of the Company’s operating cash flow is net earnings, including cash receipts from the sale of the Company’s products, net of costs of goods sold.
Through the first two quarters of fiscal 2013, changes in the components of working capital drove a use of cash of $11.9 million. The main factors impacting working capital were increased accounts receivable and inventories of $45.3 million and $18.9 million, respectively. These amounts were partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and a decrease in other operating assets of $31.3 million and $14.6 million, respectively.
Through the first two quarters of fiscal 2012, changes in the components of working capital drove a use of cash of $32.4 million. The main factors impacting working capital were increases in accounts receivable and inventories of $15.6 million, $13.1 million, respectively, and a decrease in other operating liabilities of $10.7 million. These amounts were partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $3.8 million. The Company also contributed $26.7 million of cash to its pension plans in the first fiscal quarter of 2012.
Investing Activities
Cash outflows during the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 were due to the Company’s investments in capital assets. The Company acquired $14.7 million of capital assets in the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 compared to $4.7 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2012. The increase in capital expenditures was due to the inclusion of the PLG business. The majority of the capital expenditures were for information system enhancements, manufacturing equipment and building improvements.
Included in investing activities in the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 were net cash proceeds of $2.8 million from the sale of a distribution facility acquired as part of the PLG acquisition.
Financing Activities
On October 9, 2012, the Company completed all conditions precedent for the receipt of funding under the New Credit Agreement with a bank syndicate. The New Credit Agreement provided the Company with a $1,100.0 million secured credit facility consisting of a Term Loan A Facility in an aggregate amount of up to $550.0 million, a Term Loan B Facility in an aggregate amount of up to $350.0 million and a Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount of up to $200.0 million. The New Credit Agreement also provided the Company with the option to increase the aggregate principal amount of all facilities by up to an additional amount such that the total amount of all of the facilities does not exceed $1,300.0 million. The provisions of the New Credit Agreement require the Company to adhere to certain covenants and maintain certain performance ratios. As of June 15, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants and performance ratios and expects to continue to be in compliance in future periods.

On October 9, 2012, the Company issued $375.0 million of senior notes, which bear interest at a 6.125% fixed rate and are due in 2020 (the “Notes”). Related interest payments are due semi-annually. The Notes are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.
The Company used the net proceeds from the Notes, together with the borrowings under the term loan facilities and cash on hand, to finance the acquisition of PLG, repay any amounts outstanding under prior indebtedness, terminate its prior revolving credit facility and provide for the working capital needs of the Company, including the payment of transaction expenses in connection with the acquisition.
Interest-bearing debt at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was $1,184.7 million compared to $28.0 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The increase in debt is a result of net proceeds from the Company’s term loans and Notes used to finance the acquisition of PLG in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. Principal payments on long-term interest-bearing debt were $65.3 million and $0.5 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively. The first two quarters of fiscal 2013 included voluntary payments of $50.0 million on the Term Loan B Facility debt. The Company had outstanding standby letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility totaling approximately $1.9 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2013.
At the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $171.0 million, of which $132.3 million was located in foreign jurisdictions. The Company intends to permanently reinvest cash in foreign locations.
Cash flow from operations, along with proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility, if any, are expected to be sufficient to meet the Company’s working capital needs for the foreseeable future. Any excess cash flows from operating activities are expected to be used to purchase property, plant and equipment, reduce debt, fund internal and external growth initiatives, pay dividends or repurchase the Company’s common stock.
The Company’s Board of Directors approved a common stock repurchase program on February 11, 2010. This program authorizes the repurchase of up to $200.0 million in common stock over a four-year period. The Company did not repurchase any shares in the first two quarters of fiscal 2013. The Company repurchased 64,612 shares at an average price of $37.09 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and did not repurchase any shares in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.
The Company declared dividends of $0.12 per share, or $5.9 million and $5.8 million, for both the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and the second quarter of fiscal 2012, respectively. The 2013 dividend is payable on August 1, 2013 to shareholders of record on July 1, 2013.
On July 11, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend payable on November 1, 2013 to stockholders of record as of October 1, 2013.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed 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. Historically, actual results have not been materially different from the Company’s estimates. However, actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The Company has identified the critical accounting policies used in determining estimates and assumptions in the amounts reported in its Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012. Management believes there have been no material changes in those critical accounting policies.

ITEM 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk	
The information concerning quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company faces market risk to the extent that changes in foreign currency exchange rates affect the Company’s foreign assets, liabilities and inventory purchase commitments and to the extent that its long-term debt requirements are affected by changes in interest rates. The Company manages these risks by attempting to denominate contractual and other foreign arrangements in U.S. dollars. The Company does not believe that there has been a material change in the nature of the Company’s primary market risk exposures, including the categories of market risk to which the Company is exposed and the particular markets that present the primary risk of loss to the Company. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company does not know of or expect there to be any material change in the near-term in the general nature of its primary market risk exposure.
Under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Company is required to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not qualifying hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. If a derivative is a qualifying hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings.
The Company conducts wholesale operations outside of the United States in the United Kingdom, continental Europe and Canada where the functional currencies are primarily the British pound, euro and Canadian dollar, respectively. The Company utilizes foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage the volatility associated with U.S. dollar inventory purchases made by non-U.S. wholesale operations in the normal course of business. At June 15, 2013 and June 16, 2012, the Company had outstanding forward currency exchange contracts to purchase $106.9 million and $109.0 million, respectively, of U.S. dollars, with maturities ranging up to 336 days for both periods.
The Company also has production facilities in the Dominican Republic and sourcing locations in Asia, where financial statements reflect the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. However, operating costs are paid in the local currency. Royalty revenue generated by the Company from third-party foreign licensees is calculated in the licensees’ local currencies, but paid in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, the Company’s reported results are subject to foreign currency exposure for this stream of revenue and expenses.
Assets and liabilities outside the United States are primarily located in the United Kingdom, Canada and the Netherlands. The Company’s investments in foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are generally considered long-term. Accordingly, the Company currently does not hedge these net investments. At June 15, 2013, a stronger U.S. dollar compared to foreign currencies decreased the value of these investments in net assets by $4.7 million from their value at December 29, 2012. At June 16, 2012, a stronger U.S. dollar compared to foreign currencies decreased the value of these investments in net assets by $1.5 million from their value at December 31, 2011. These changes resulted in cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments at June 15, 2013 and June 16, 2012 of accumulated other comprehensive income of $1.2 million and accumulated other comprehensive loss of $1.2 million, respectively.
Because the Company markets, sells and licenses its products throughout the world, it could be affected by weak economic conditions in foreign markets that could reduce demand for its products.
The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of its borrowing under the New Credit Agreement. As of June 15, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and outstanding letters of credit of $1.9 million. At June 15, 2013 and December 29, 2012, the Company had $809.7 million and $875.0 million, respectively, of variable rate debt outstanding under the Term Loan Facilities under the New Credit Agreement. As of June 15, 2013 and December 29, 2012 the Company held one interest rate swap agreement denominated in U.S. dollars that effectively converted $462.2 million of its variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt.
The Company does not enter into contracts for speculative or trading purposes, nor is it a party to any leveraged derivative instruments.
