THE TIMBERLAND COMPANY

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Timberland Company and its subsidiaries (“we”, “our”, “us”, “its”, “Timberland” or the “Company”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, such financial statements include the adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results reported in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year due, in part, to seasonal factors. Historically, our revenue has been more heavily weighted to the second half of the year.

The Company’s fiscal quarters end on the Friday closest to the day on which the calendar quarter ends, except that the fourth quarter and fiscal year end on December 31. The second quarters of our fiscal year in 2011 and 2010 ended on July 1, 2011 and July 2, 2010, respectively.

Acquisition by V.F. Corporation

On June 12, 2011, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with V.F. Corporation (“VF”) and VF Enterprises, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of VF (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of VF. Holders of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock at the effective time of the Merger will receive $43.00 per share in cash.

Concurrent with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Sidney W. Swartz, Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, Jeffrey B. Swartz, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and certain other members of their families and certain trusts established for the benefit of their families or for charitable purposes (collectively, the “Supporting Stockholders”), who collectively control approximately 73.5% of the combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding Class A and Class B common stock, entered into a Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with VF. The Voting Agreement provided that, so long as the Voting Agreement had not previously been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Supporting Stockholders would deliver a written consent adopting the Merger Agreement on July 26, 2011. The written consent was delivered on July 26, 2011, and no further action by any other Company stockholder is required to adopt the Merger Agreement or approve the Merger.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The ASU removes the presentation options in Accounting Standard Codification Topic 220 and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either 1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or 2) two separate but consecutive statements. The ASU, which does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or their accounting treatment, is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2012.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. This accounting standard update is the result of joint efforts by the FASB and IASB to develop a single converged fair value framework that provides guidance on how to measure fair value and on what disclosures to provide about fair value measurements. The ASU’s measurement and disclosure requirements, which are required to be applied prospectively, are effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of

2012 and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units With Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts. This accounting standard update requires entities with a zero or negative carrying value to assess, considering adverse qualitative factors, whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. If an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, the entity must perform step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. ASU No. 2010-28 was effective for impairment tests performed by the Company during 2011, and its adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Note 2. Fair Value Measurements

Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy that ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The Company recognizes and reports significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and into and out of Level 3, as of the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.

Financial Assets and Liabilities

The following tables present information about our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 1, 2011, December 31, 2010, and July 2, 2010:

Cash equivalents, included in cash and equivalents on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, include money market mutual funds and time deposits placed with a variety of high credit quality financial institutions. Time deposits are valued based on current interest rates and mutual funds are valued at the net asset value of the fund. The carrying values of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities.

The fair value of the derivative contracts in the table above is reported on a gross basis by level based on the fair value hierarchy with a corresponding adjustment for netting for financial statement presentation purposes, where appropriate. The Company often enters into derivative contracts with a single counterparty and certain of these contracts are covered under a master netting agreement. The fair values of our foreign currency forward contracts are based on quoted market prices or pricing models using current market rates. As of July 1, 2011, the derivative contracts above include $94 of assets and $71 of liabilities included in other assets, net and other long-term liabilities, respectively, on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2010, the derivative contracts above include $1 of assets and $111 of liabilities included in other assets, net and other long-term liabilities, respectively, on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. There were no derivative contracts included in other assets, net or other long-term liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 2, 2010.

The cash surrender value of life insurance represents insurance contracts held as assets in a rabbi trust to fund the Company’s deferred compensation plan. These assets are included in other assets, net on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The cash surrender value of life insurance is based on the net asset values of the underlying funds available to plan participants.

Nonfinancial Assets

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually at the end of our second quarter and when events occur or circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of a business unit or an intangible asset with an indefinite-life below its carrying value. Events or changes in circumstances that may trigger interim impairment reviews include significant changes in business climate, operating results, planned investment in the business unit or an expectation that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, among other factors. The goodwill impairment test, performed at a reporting unit level, is a two-step test that requires, under the first test, that we determine the fair value of a reporting unit and compare it to the reporting unit’s carrying value, including goodwill. We use established income and market valuation approaches to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. For trademark intangible assets, management uses the relief-from-royalty method in which fair value is the discounted value of forecasted royalty revenue arising from a trademark using a royalty rate that an independent third party would pay for use of that trademark. Further information regarding the fair value measurements is provided below.

2011 Analysis

We completed our annual impairment test of goodwill and indefinite-lived trademarks at the end of our second quarter. We determined that the carrying value of the howies trademark exceeded its estimated fair value and, accordingly, recorded an impairment charge of $736. This charge is reflected in the Europe segment. We also concluded that the fair values of the SmartWool trademark and the reporting units to which goodwill relates substantially exceeded their respective carrying values. Accordingly, we did not identify any impairment.

Our test of goodwill requires that we assess the fair value of the North America Wholesale and Europe Wholesale reporting units. We determined their fair value as of July 2, 2010, by preparing a discounted cash flow analysis using forward-looking projections of the reporting units’ future operating results, as well as consideration of market valuation approaches. When completing the step-one test on July 1, 2011, we elected to carry forward the previous determination of fair value for our North America Wholesale and Europe Wholesale reporting units rather than reassess their fair value. We elected to carry forward the previous determination of fair value because we met the following requirements: (i) The most recent fair value determination exceeded the carrying amount by a substantial margin; (ii) based on an analysis of the events that have transpired since last year’s fair valuation, the likelihood was remote that the current fair value would be less than the current carrying amount of the reporting unit; and (iii) the assets or liabilities of the reporting units have not changed significantly since the valuation.

howies

The Company completed its annual impairment testing for the howies indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset in the second quarter of 2011, and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $736 in its consolidated statement of operations. Management’s business plans and projections were used to develop the expected cash flows for the next five years and a 4% residual revenue growth rate applied thereafter. The analysis reflects a market royalty rate of 1.5% and a weighted average discount rate of 25%, derived primarily from published sources and adjusted for increased market risk. The impairment charge reduced the howies trademark to its estimated fair value of $540 at July 1, 2011.

2010 Analysis

During the quarter ended July 2, 2010, management concluded that the carrying value of goodwill exceeded the estimated fair value for its IPath, North America Retail and Europe Retail reporting units and, accordingly, recorded an impairment charge of $5,395. Management also concluded that the carrying value of the IPath and howies trademarks and other intangible assets exceeded the estimated fair value and, accordingly, recorded an impairment charge of $7,854. The Company’s North America Wholesale and Europe Wholesale business units had fair values substantially in excess of their carrying value. See Note 9 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

These non-recurring fair value measurements were developed using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). For goodwill, the primary valuation technique used was the discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s estimates of forecasted cash flows for each business unit, with those cash flows discounted to present value using rates proportionate with the risks of those cash flows. In addition, management used a market-based valuation method involving analysis of market multiples of revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for a group of similar publicly traded companies and, if applicable, recent transactions involving comparable companies. The Company believes the blended use of these models balances the inherent risk associated with either model if used on a stand-alone basis, and this combination is indicative of the factors a market participant would consider when performing a similar valuation. For trademark intangible assets, management used the relief-from-royalty method in which fair value is the discounted value of forecasted royalty revenue arising from a trademark using a royalty rate that an independent third party would pay for use of that trademark. Further information regarding the fair value measurements is provided below.

IPath

The IPath business unit did not meet the revenue and earnings growth forecasted at its acquisition in April 2007. Accordingly, during the second quarter of 2010, management reassessed the financial expectations of this business as part of its long range planning process. The revenue and earnings growth assumptions were developed based on near term trends, potential opportunities and planned investment in the IPath® brand. Management’s business plans and projections were used to develop the expected cash flows for the next five years and a 4% residual revenue growth rate applied thereafter. The analysis reflects a market royalty rate of 1.5% and a weighted average discount rate of 22%, derived primarily from published sources and adjusted for increased market risk. After the charges in the table above, there was $720 of finite-lived trademark intangible assets remaining at July 2, 2010. The carrying value of IPath’s goodwill was reduced to zero.

howies

howies had not met the revenue and earnings growth forecasted at its acquisition in December 2006. Accordingly, during the second quarter of 2010, management reassessed the financial expectations of this business as part of its long range planning process. The revenue and earnings growth assumptions were developed based on near term trends, potential opportunities and planned investment in the howies® brand. Management’s business plans and projections were used to develop the expected cash flows for the next five years and a 4% residual revenue growth rate applied thereafter. The analysis reflects a market royalty rate of 2% and a weighted average discount rate of 24%, derived primarily from published sources and adjusted for increased market risk. After the charges in the table above, there was $1,200 of indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets remaining at July 2, 2010.

North America and Europe Retail

The Company’s retail businesses in North America and Europe have been negatively impacted by continued weakness in the macroeconomic environment, low consumer spending and a longer than expected economic recovery. The fair value of these businesses using the discounted cash flow analysis were based on management’s business plans and projections for the next five years and a 4% residual growth thereafter. The analysis reflects a weighted average discount rate in the range of 19%, derived primarily from published sources and adjusted for increased market risk. After the charges in the table above, the carrying value of the goodwill was zero at July 2, 2010.

Note 3. Derivatives

In the normal course of business, the financial position and results of operations of the Company are impacted by currency rate movements in foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and cash flows as we purchase and sell goods in local currencies. We have established policies and business practices that are intended to mitigate a portion of the effect of these exposures. We use derivative financial instruments, specifically forward contracts, to manage our currency exposures. These derivative instruments are viewed as risk management tools and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. Derivatives entered into by the Company are either designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign currency transactions or are undesignated economic hedges of existing intercompany assets and liabilities, certain third party assets and liabilities, and non-US dollar-denominated cash balances.

Derivative instruments expose us to credit and market risk. The market risk associated with these instruments resulting from currency exchange movements is expected to offset the market risk of the underlying transactions being hedged. We do not believe there is a significant risk of loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties associated with these instruments because these transactions are executed with a group of major financial institutions and have varying maturities through January 2013. As a matter of policy, we enter into these contracts only with counterparties having a minimum investment-grade or better credit rating. Credit risk is managed through the continuous monitoring of exposures to such counterparties.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company principally uses foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges to offset a portion of the effects of exchange rate fluctuations on certain of its forecasted foreign currency denominated sales transactions. The Company’s cash flow exposures include anticipated foreign currency transactions, such as foreign currency denominated sales, costs, expenses and inter-company charges, as well as collections and payments. The risk in these exposures is the potential for losses associated with the remeasurement of non-functional currency cash flows into the functional currency. The Company has a hedging program to aid in mitigating its foreign currency exposures and to decrease the volatility in earnings. Under this hedging program, the Company performs a quarterly assessment of the effectiveness of the hedge relationship and measures and recognizes any hedge ineffectiveness in earnings. A hedge is effective if the changes in the fair value of the derivative provide offset of at least 80 percent and not more than 125 percent of the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged. The Company uses regression analysis to assess the effectiveness of a hedge relationship.

Forward contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments are recorded in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The effective portion of gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these hedge instruments are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and reclassified to earnings, in cost of goods sold, in the period that the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. Cash flows associated with these contracts are classified as operating cash flows in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Hedge ineffectiveness is evaluated using the hypothetical derivative method, and the ineffective portion of the hedge is reported in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in other, net. The amount of hedge ineffectiveness reported in other, net for the quarters ended July 1, 2011 and July 2, 2010 was not material.

The notional value of foreign currency forward sell contracts entered into as cash flow hedges is as follows:

Other Derivative Contracts

We also enter into derivative contracts to manage foreign currency exchange risk on intercompany accounts receivable and payable, third-party accounts receivable and payable, and non-U.S. dollar-denominated cash balances using forward contracts. These forward contracts, which are undesignated hedges of economic risk, are recorded at fair value on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, with changes in the fair value of these instruments recognized in earnings immediately. The gains or losses related to the contracts largely offset the remeasurement of those assets and liabilities. Cash flows associated with these contracts are classified as operating cash flows in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The notional value of foreign currency forward (buy) and sell contracts entered into to mitigate the foreign currency risk associated with certain balance sheet items is as follows (the contract amount represents the net amount of all purchase and sale contracts of a foreign currency):

Long Term Incentive Programs

2011 Executive Long Term Incentive Program

On March 2, 2011, the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “MDCC”) approved the terms of The Timberland Company 2011 Executive Long Term Incentive Program (“2011 LTIP”) with respect to equity awards to be made to certain of the Company’s executives and employees. On March 3, 2011, the Board of Directors also approved the 2011 LTIP with respect to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The 2011 LTIP was established under the Company’s 2007 Incentive Plan. The awards are subject to future performance, and consist of performance stock units (“PSUs”), equal in value to one share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, and performance stock options (“PSOs”), with an exercise price of $38.52 (the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange on March 3, 2011, the date of grant). On May 26, 2011, additional awards were made under the 2011 LTIP consisting of PSUs equal in value to one share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, and PSOs with an exercise price of $32.51 (the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange on May 26, 2011, the date of grant). Shares with respect to the PSUs will be granted and will vest following the end of the applicable performance period and approval by the Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, of the achievement of the applicable performance metric. The PSOs will vest in three equal annual installments following the end of the applicable performance period and approval by the Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, of the achievement of the applicable performance metric. The payout of the performance awards will be based on the Company’s achievement of certain levels of revenue growth and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), with threshold, target and maximum award levels based upon actual revenue growth and EBITDA of the Company during the applicable performance periods equaling or exceeding such levels. The performance period for the PSUs is the three-year period from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2013, and the performance period for the PSOs is the twelve-month period from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011. No awards shall be made or earned, as the case may be, unless the threshold goal is attained, and the maximum payout may not exceed 200% of the target award.

 

13


The maximum number of shares to be awarded with respect to PSUs under the 2011 LTIP grants is 262,748, which, if earned, will be settled in early 2014. Based on current estimates of the performance metrics, unrecognized compensation expense with respect to the 2011 PSUs was $4,299 as of July 1, 2011. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 2.7 years.

The maximum number of shares subject to exercise with respect to PSOs under the 2011 LTIP grants is 359,058, which, if earned, will be settled, subject to the vesting schedule noted above, in early 2012. Based on current estimates of the performance metrics, unrecognized compensation expense related to the 2011 PSOs was $2,946 as of July 1, 2011. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 3.7 years.

2010 Executive Long Term Incentive Program

On March 3, 2010, the MDCC approved the terms of The Timberland Company 2010 Executive Long Term Incentive Program (“2010 LTIP”) with respect to equity awards to be made to certain of the Company’s executives and employees. On March 4, 2010, the Board of Directors also approved the 2010 LTIP with respect to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. On May 13, 2010, additional awards were made under the 2010 LTIP.

The maximum number of shares to be awarded with respect to PSUs under the 2010 LTIP grants is 519,800, which, if earned, will be settled in early 2013. Based on current estimates of the performance metrics, unrecognized compensation expense with respect to the 2010 PSUs was $2,523 as of July 1, 2011. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 1.7 years.

Based on actual 2010 performance, the number of shares subject to exercise with respect to PSOs under the 2010 LTIP grants is 491,842, which shares were settled on March 3, 2011, subject to vesting in three equal annual installments.

2009 Executive Long Term Incentive Program

On March 4, 2009, the MDCC of the Board of Directors approved the terms of The Timberland Company 2009 Executive Long Term Incentive Program (“2009 LTIP”) with respect to equity awards to be made to certain of the Company’s executives and employees. On March 5, 2009, the Board of Directors also approved the 2009 LTIP with respect to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. On May 21, 2009, additional awards were made under the 2009 LTIP.

The maximum number of shares to be awarded with respect to PSUs under the 2009 LTIP grants is 745,000, which, if earned, will be settled in early 2012. Based on current estimates of the performance metrics, unrecognized compensation expense with respect to the 2009 PSUs was $1,048 as of July 1, 2011. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 0.7 years.

The Company estimates the fair value of its PSOs on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, which employs the following assumptions:

Unrecognized compensation expense related to these PSOs was $2,746 as of July 1, 2011. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 1.7 years.

Other Long Term Incentive Programs

During 2010, the MDCC approved a program to award cash or equity awards based upon the achievement of certain project milestones. Awards will be granted upon approval of performance criteria achievement by a steering committee designated by the Board of Directors, and, if equity based, will vest immediately upon achievement of certain project milestones. The Company expects the milestones to be achieved at various stages through 2013. The maximum aggregate value which may be earned by current plan participants in the program is $2,660, and the number of equity awards to be issued, if applicable, will be determined based on the fair market value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the date of issuance. Unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards was $1,192 as of July 1, 2011, and the expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 1.5 years.

Stock Options

The Company estimates the fair value of its stock option awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, which employs the assumptions noted in the following table, for stock option awards excluding awards issued under the Company’s Long Term Incentive Programs discussed above:

Note 5. Earnings/(Loss) Per Share

Basic and diluted loss per share (“LPS”) for the quarters ended July 1, 2011 and July 2, 2010 and the six months ended July 1, 2011 exclude common stock equivalents and are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the periods presented.

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) excludes common stock equivalents and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would occur if potentially dilutive securities such as stock options were exercised and nonvested shares vested, to the extent such securities would not be anti-dilutive.

Note 7. Business Segments and Geographic Information

The Company has three reportable segments: North America, Europe and Asia. The composition of the segments is consistent with that used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker.

 

17


The North America segment is comprised of the sale of products to wholesale and retail customers in North America. It includes Company-operated specialty and factory outlet stores in the United States and our United States e-commerce business. This segment also includes royalties from licensed products sold worldwide, the related management costs and expenses associated with our worldwide licensing efforts, and certain marketing expenses and value-added services.

The Europe and Asia segments each consist of the marketing, selling and distribution of footwear, apparel and accessories outside of the United States. Products are sold outside of the United States through our subsidiaries (which use wholesale, retail and e-commerce channels to sell footwear, apparel and accessories), franchisees and independent distributors.

Unallocated Corporate consists primarily of corporate finance, information services, legal and administrative expenses, share-based compensation costs, global marketing support expenses, worldwide product development costs and other costs incurred in support of Company-wide activities. Unallocated Corporate also includes certain value chain costs such as sourcing and logistics, as well as inventory variances. Additionally, Unallocated Corporate includes total other income/(expense), net, which is comprised of interest income, interest expense, and other, net, which includes foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of financial derivatives not designated as hedges, currency gains and losses incurred on the settlement of local currency denominated assets and liabilities, and other miscellaneous non-operating income/(expense). Such income/(expense) is not allocated among the reportable business segments.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. We evaluate segment performance based on revenue and operating income. Total assets are disaggregated to the extent that assets apply specifically to a single segment. Unallocated Corporate assets primarily consist of cash and equivalents, tax assets, manufacturing/sourcing assets, computers and related equipment, and transportation equipment.

Operating income/loss shown below for the quarter and six months ended July 1, 2011 includes an impairment charge of $736 in Europe related to a certain intangible asset. Operating income/(loss) shown below for the quarter and six months ended July 2, 2010 includes impairment charges of $8,172 and $5,077 in North America and Europe, respectively, related to goodwill and certain other intangible assets. See Notes 2 and 9 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. Operating income for North America for the quarter and six months ended July 2, 2010 also includes gains related to the termination of licensing agreements of $1,500 and $3,000, respectively.

Note 9. Goodwill and Intangibles

The Company completed its annual impairment testing for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in the second quarter of 2011, and determined that the carrying value of a certain intangible asset related to its howies® brand exceeded fair value. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $736 in its consolidated statement of operations. The impairment charge reduced the trademark of the howies® brand to its fair value of $540 at July 1, 2011.

 

19


The Company completed its annual impairment testing for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in the second quarter of 2010, and determined that the carrying values of certain goodwill and intangible assets, primarily related to its IPath® and howies® brands, exceeded fair value. Accordingly, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $5,395 and $7,854 for goodwill and intangible assets, respectively, in its consolidated statement of operations. The impairment charge reduced the goodwill related to the IPath, North America retail, and Europe retail reporting units to zero. The charge of $7,854 reduced the trademark and other intangible assets of IPath and howies to their respective fair values at July 2, 2010 of $720 and $1,200. See Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Note 10. Credit Agreement

On April 26, 2011, we entered into a Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement with a group of banks led by Bank of America, N.A. (the “Agreement”). The Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of June 2, 2006. The Agreement expires on April 26, 2016. The Agreement provides for $200,000 of committed, unsecured borrowings, of which up to $125,000 may be used for letters of credit. Any letters of credit outstanding under the Agreement ($1,595 at July 1, 2011) reduce the amount available for borrowing under the Agreement. Upon the approval of the bank group, the Company may increase the committed borrowing limit by $100,000 for a total commitment of $300,000. This facility may be used for working capital, share repurchases, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company may borrow at interest rates based on Eurodollar rates, plus an applicable margin of between 87.5 and 175.0 basis points based on a fixed charge coverage grid. In addition, the Company will pay a commitment fee of 12.5 to 25 basis points per annum on the total commitment, based on a fixed charge coverage grid that is adjusted quarterly. The financial covenants set forth in the Agreement relate to maintaining a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 2.25:1 and a leverage ratio of 2:1. The Company will measure compliance with the financial and non-financial covenants and ratios as required by the terms of the Agreement on a fiscal quarter basis. The Agreement also contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants.

Note 11. Income Taxes

We provide for income taxes during interim periods based on our estimate of the effective tax rate for the year. Discrete items and changes in our estimate of the annual effective tax rate are recorded in the period they occur. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $2,250 to income tax expense related to certain prior year matters.

In December 2009, we received a Notice of Assessment from the Internal Revenue Department of Hong Kong for approximately $17,600 with respect to the tax years 2004 through 2008. In connection with the assessment, the Company was required to make payments to the Internal Revenue Department of Hong Kong totaling approximately $900 in the first quarter of 2010 and $7,500 in the second quarter of 2010. These payments are included in prepaid taxes on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. We believe we have a sound defense to the proposed adjustment and will continue to firmly oppose the assessment. We believe that the assessment does not impact the level of liabilities for our income tax contingencies.

Shareholder Litigation

Shortly after the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with V.F. Corporation, three putative stockholder class action complaints were filed, on behalf of Timberland’s public stockholders, in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against Timberland, the members of the Timberland Board, V.F. Corporation, and V.F. Enterprises, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of V.F. Corporation. The complaints generally allege, among other things, that the members of the Timberland Board breached their fiduciary duties owed to Timberland’s public stockholders by causing Timberland to enter into the Merger Agreement, approving the merger, failing to take steps to ascertain and maximize the value of Timberland, failing to conduct a public auction or other market check, and failing to provide Timberland’s public stockholders with the right to vote on whether to approve the merger, and that V.F. Corporation and V.F. Enterprises, Inc. aided and abetted such breaches of fiduciary duties. In addition, the complaints allege that the Merger Agreement improperly favors V.F. Corporation and unduly restricts Timberland’s ability to negotiate with other potential bidders. The complaints generally seek, among other things, declaratory and injunctive relief concerning the alleged fiduciary breaches, injunctive relief prohibiting defendants from consummating the merger, other forms of equitable relief, and compensatory damages. On June 30, 2011, the three actions described above were consolidated under the caption In re The Timberland Company Shareholder Litigation, C.A. No. 6577-CS. While this litigation is at an early stage, the Company believes that the claims are without merit and intends to defend against the litigation vigorously.

A purported class action, City of Omaha Police and Fire Retirement System, On Behalf of Itself and All Others Similarly Situated v. The Timberland Company and Jeffrey B. Swartz, U.S.D.C., District of New Hampshire, was filed on June 3, 2011 on behalf of persons who purchased the common stock of Timberland between February 17, 2011 and May 4, 2011, seeking remedies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Complaint alleges false and misleading statements and a scheme to defraud during the class period. While this litigation is at an early stage, the Company believes this lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend against the litigation vigorously.
