Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
The Timberland Company (the Company) wishes to take advantage of The Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which provide
a safe harbor for certain written and oral forward-looking statements to encourage companies to
provide prospective information. Prospective information is based on managements then current
expectations or forecasts. Such information is subject to the risk that such expectations or
forecasts, or the assumptions used in making such expectations or forecasts, may become inaccurate.
The discussion in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2009 (the Form 10-K) and Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q identifies important factors that could affect the Companys actual results and
could cause such results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements
made by or on behalf of the Company. The risks included in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the
Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report are not exhaustive. Other sections of the
Form 10-K as well as this Quarterly Report may include additional factors which could adversely
affect the Companys business and financial performance. Moreover, the Company operates in a very
competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is
not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all
such risk factors on the Companys business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of
factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. The Company undertakes no obligation
to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise.
Forward-looking Information
As discussed above and in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of
this Quarterly Report, investors should be aware of certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions
that could affect our actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from those
contained in forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of us. Statements containing the
words may, assumes, forecasts, positions, predicts, strategy, will, expects,
estimates, anticipates, believes, projects, intends, plans, budgets, potential,
continue, target and variations thereof, and other statements contained in this Quarterly
Report regarding matters that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Such
statements are based on current expectations only and actual future results may differ materially
from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements due to certain risks,
uncertainties and assumptions. These risks, uncertainties and assumptions include, but are not
limited to:
Our ability to successfully market and sell our products in a highly competitive industry
and in view of changing consumer trends and preferences, consumer acceptance of products, and other
factors affecting retail market conditions, including the current global economic environment and
global political uncertainties resulting from the continuing war on terrorism;
Our ability to execute key strategic initiatives;
Our ability to adapt to potential changes in duty structures in countries of import and
export, including anti-dumping measures imposed by the European Union with respect to leather
footwear imported from China and Vietnam;
Our ability to manage our foreign exchange rate risks, and taxes, duties, import
restrictions and other risks related to doing business internationally;
Our ability to locate and retain independent manufacturers to produce lower cost,
high-quality products with rapid turnaround times;
Our reliance on a limited number of key suppliers and a global supply chain;
Our ability to obtain adequate materials at competitive prices;
Our reliance on the financial health of, and the appeal of our products to, our customers;
Our reliance on the financial stability of third parties with which we do business,
including customers, suppliers and distributors;
Our ability to successfully invest in our infrastructure and products based upon advance
sales forecasts;

Our ability to recover our investment in, and expenditures of, our retail organization
through adequate sales at such retail locations; and
Our ability to respond to actions of our competitors, some of whom have substantially
greater resources than we have.
We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise.

(Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)
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, 2009.
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 Companys 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 Companys 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 third quarters and
first nine months of our fiscal year in 2010 and 2009 ended on October 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009,
respectively.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards
Update No. 2010-06 (ASU No. 2010-06), Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements. This
accounting standard update adds new requirements for fair value measurement disclosures about
transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales,
issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. It also clarifies existing fair value
disclosures about the level of disaggregation and inputs and valuation techniques used to measure
fair value. ASU No. 2010-06 was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2010 and
its adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys existing disclosures.
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.

Cash equivalents, included in cash and equivalents on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance
sheets, 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 October 1, 2010, the derivative
contracts above include $1,179 of liabilities included in other long-term liabilities on our
unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2009, the derivative contracts
above include $184 of assets and $2 of liabilities included in other assets, net and other
long-term liabilities, respectively, on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The cash surrender value of life insurance represents insurance contracts held as assets in a rabbi
trust to fund the Companys 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.
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 their
estimated fair value and, accordingly, recorded an impairment charge of $7,854. The Companys
North America Wholesale and Europe Wholesale business units have fair values substantially in
excess of their carrying value. See Note 9 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements.
Impairment charges included in the second quarter of 2010 unaudited condensed consolidated
statement of operations, by segment, are as follows:

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 managements 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 has not met 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. Managements 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 Ipaths goodwill was reduced to zero.

howies
howies has 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. Managements 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 Companys 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 managements 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.

On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluated the carrying value of the GoLite trademark, which is
licensed to a third party, for events or changes in circumstances indicating the carrying value of
the asset may not be recoverable. Factors considered include the ability of the licensee to obtain
necessary financing, the impact of changes in economic conditions and an assessment of the
Companys ability to recover all contractual payments when due under the licensing arrangement.
During the first quarter of 2009, using Level 3 input factors noted above, the Company determined
that the carrying value of the GoLite trademark was impaired and recorded a pre-tax, non-cash
charge of approximately $925, which reduced the carrying value of the trademark to zero at April 3,
2009. The charge is reflected in our Europe segment.
During the third quarter of 2010 and 2009, the Company evaluated the carrying value of certain
long-lived fixed assets, specifically certain footwear molds used in our production process. Based
on an evaluation that included Level 3 input factors such as actual and planned production levels
and style changes, the Company determined that the carrying value of the molds was impaired and we
recorded a pre-tax, non-cash charge of approximately $485 and $740 in the quarters ended October 1,
2010 and October 2, 2009, respectively, which reduced the carrying value of the molds to zero. The
charge, included in cost of sales in our statement of operations, is reflected in Unallocated
Corporate in our segment reporting.
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 2012. 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 Companys 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 and nine months ended
October 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009 was not material.

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 payout of the performance awards will be based on the Companys achievement of certain levels of EBITDA, with threshold, budget, target and maximum award levels based upon actual 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, 2009 through December 31, 2011, and the performance period for the PSOs was the twelve-month period from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009.

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.
The maximum number of shares to be awarded with respect to PSUs under the 2009 LTIP is 750,000,
which, if earned, will be settled in early 2012. Based on current estimates, unrecognized
compensation expense with respect to the 2009 PSUs was $1,581 as of October 1, 2010. This expense
is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 1.4 years.
Based on actual performance, the number of shares subject to exercise with respect to PSOs under
the 2009 LTIP is 599,619, which shares were settled on March 4, 2010, subject to the vesting
schedule noted above.
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:

Note 5. Earnings Per Share
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 Companys chief operating decision maker.
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. Beginning in
the first quarter of 2010, results for the North America segment include certain U.S. distribution
expenses, customer operations and service costs, credit management and short-term incentive
compensation costs that were recorded in Unallocated Corporate in prior quarters. These costs in
prior periods have been reclassified to North America to conform to the current period
presentation.
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. Certain distributor
revenue and operating income reflected in our Europe segment in prior periods has been reclassified
to Asia to conform to the current period presentation. Additionally, certain expenses, primarily
related to short-term incentive compensation costs previously reported in Unallocated Corporate,
have been reclassified to Europe and Asia to conform to the current period presentation.
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. Beginning in the first quarter of 2010, certain U.S. distribution and
other customer related expenses, and short-term incentive compensation costs previously reported in
Unallocated Corporate were reclassified to North America, Europe and Asia. 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 and distribution
equipment.

Note 9. Goodwill and Intangibles
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 of $720 and $1,200. See Note
2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Note 10. Acquisition
On March 16, 2009, we acquired 100% of the stock of Glaudio Fashion B.V. (Glaudio) for
approximately $1,500, net of cash acquired. Glaudio operates nine Timberland® retail
stores in the Netherlands and Belgium which sell Timberland® footwear, apparel, leather
goods and product-care products for men, women and kids. The acquisition was effective March 1,
2009, and its results have been included in our Europe segment from the effective date of the
acquisition. The acquisition of Glaudio was not material to the results of operations, financial
position or cash flows of the Company.
Note 11. Income Taxes
In February 2009, the Company received notification that our U.S. federal tax examinations for 2006
and 2007 had been completed. Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2009, we reversed approximately
$6,400 of accruals related to uncertain tax positions. During the second quarter of 2009, we
recorded a net benefit of approximately $140 in our tax provision related to the settlement of
certain foreign tax audits.
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. 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. However, actual resolution may differ from our current estimates,
and such differences could have a material impact on our future effective tax rate and our results
of operations.
In the third quarter of 2010, we received final approval associated with tax clearance for certain
closed foreign operations, as well as the lapse of certain statutes of limitation and, accordingly,
recorded a net benefit of approximately $3,900 in our tax provision related to uncertain tax
positions.
Note 12. Share Repurchase
On March 10, 2008, our Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to 6,000,000 shares of our
Class A Common Stock. Shares repurchased under this authorization totaled 1,324,259 for the nine
months ended October 1, 2010. As of October 1, 2010, there were no shares remaining available for
repurchase under this authorization.
On December 3, 2009, our Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to an additional
6,000,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock. Shares repurchased under this authorization totaled
1,678,256 and 2,701,023, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended October 1, 2010. As
of October 1, 2010, 3,298,977 shares remained available for repurchase under this authorization.
From time to time, we use plans adopted under Rule 10b5-1 promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to facilitate share
repurchases.
During the first quarter of 2010, 200,000 shares of our Class B Common Stock were converted to an
equivalent amount of our Class A Common Stock.
Note 13. Litigation
We are involved in various litigation and legal proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course
of business. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of any such matters will not have a
material adverse effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

(GAAP) performance measures. The difference between changes in reported revenue (the most
comparable GAAP measure) and constant dollar revenue changes is the impact of foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations. We calculate constant dollar revenue changes by recalculating current
year revenue using the prior years exchange rates and comparing it to the prior year revenue
reported on a GAAP basis. We provide constant dollar revenue changes for Total Company, Europe
and Asia results because we use the measure to understand the underlying results and trends of the
business segments excluding the impact of exchange rate changes that are not under managements
direct control. The limitation of this measure is that it excludes exchange rate changes that
have an impact on the Companys revenue. This limitation is best addressed by using constant
dollar revenue changes in combination with revenue reported on a GAAP basis. We have a foreign
exchange rate risk management program intended to minimize both the positive and negative effects
of currency fluctuations on our reported consolidated results of operations, financial position
and cash flows. The actions taken by us to mitigate foreign exchange risk are reflected in cost
of goods sold and other, net.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these
financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts
of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to sales
returns and allowances, realization of outstanding accounts receivable, the carrying value of
inventories, derivatives, other contingencies, impairment of assets, incentive compensation
accruals, share-based compensation and the provision for income taxes. We base our estimates 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 our estimates. Because of the uncertainty inherent
in these matters, actual results could differ from the estimates used in, or that result from,
applying our critical accounting policies. Our significant accounting policies are described in
Note 1 to the Companys consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8: Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2009. Our estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in applying the critical accounting
policies are described in Part II, Item 7: Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2009.
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 $5.4 million. 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 $7.8 million. The
Companys North America Wholesale and Europe Wholesale business units have fair values
substantially in excess of their carrying value. See Notes 2 and 9 to the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements for additional information.
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 managements 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
Table of Contents
Form10-Q
Page 24
Page 24
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.
Our estimates of fair value are sensitive to changes in the assumptions used in our valuation
analyses and, as a result, actual performance in the near and longer-term could be different from
these expectations and assumptions. These differences could be caused by events such as strategic
decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions and the impact of economic
factors on our customer base. If our future actual results are significantly lower than our
current operating results or our estimates and assumptions used to calculate fair value are
materially different, the value determined using the discounted cash flow analysis could result in
a lower value. A significant decrease in value could result in a fair value lower than carrying
value, which could result in impairment of our remaining goodwill. While we believe we have made
reasonable estimates and assumptions used to calculate the fair value of the reporting units and
other intangible assets, it is possible a material change could occur, which may ultimately result
in the recording of an additional non-cash impairment charge.
These non-cash impairment charges do not have any direct impact on our liquidity, compliance with
any covenants under our debt agreements or potential future results of operations. Our historical
operating results may not be indicative of our future operating results. We will revise our
estimates used in calculating the fair value of our reporting units as needed.

Results of Operations for the Quarter Ended October 1, 2010 Compared to the Quarter Ended
October 2, 2009
Revenue
In the third quarter of 2010, our consolidated revenues grew 2.5% to $432.3 million, reflecting
growth in Europe and Asia, partially offset by a decline in North America. Double-digit growth in
Scandinavia and our distributor business was partially offset by declines in the Benelux region.
China and Taiwan continued to post strong growth, leading the favorable quarter over quarter
comparison in Asia. On a constant dollar basis, consolidated revenues increased 5.2%.
Products
By product group, our footwear revenue was relatively flat at $319.8 million, and apparel and
accessories revenues grew 11.1% to $106.4 million. In footwear, improved wholesale revenue in
Europe, reflecting higher sales of womens and kids footwear, was offset by a decline in North
America, where growth in Timberland PRO® footwear was offset by decreases in kids
footwear. The improvement in apparel and accessories revenues compared to the prior year reflects
revenue growth driven by apparel in Asia and by SmartWool® accessories in North America.
Royalty and other revenue decreased 9.8% to $6.1 million compared to the prior year period
primarily due to a decline in licensed kids apparel.
Channels
Wholesale revenue was $348.7 million in the third quarter of 2010, an increase of 1.9% compared to
the prior year quarter, driven by growth in Europe and Asia, partially offset by a decline in North
America.
Retail revenues grew 5.2% to $83.6 million in the third quarter of 2010, driven by growth in Asia
and Europe. Comparable store sales increased 7.2% compared to the third quarter of 2009, with
growth in specialty and outlet stores across our global locations. We had 225 and 217
Company-owned stores, shops and outlets worldwide at the end of the third quarters of 2010 and
2009, respectively.
Gross Profit
Gross profit as a percentage of sales, or gross margin, was 47.8% for the third quarter of 2010, a
170 basis point improvement compared to the third quarter of 2009. We saw gross margin improvement
for the quarter in all regions, driven by more profitable close-out sales, favorable product and
region mix, and lower product costs. These improvements were partially offset by adverse foreign
exchange impacts. While the benefits from mix and lower product costs continued in the third
quarter, we believe that increased product costs as a result of higher leather, transportation and
labor costs will adversely impact gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2010 and through 2011.
Operating Expense
Operating expense for the third quarter of 2010 was $140.0 million, an increase of $4.0 million, or
2.9%, when compared to the third quarter of 2009. The increase in operating expense was driven by
an increase in general and administrative expense of $4.6 million, or 15.9%. Foreign exchange rate
impacts reduced operating expense by approximately 2% in the third quarter of 2010.
Selling expense was $106.6 million in the third quarter of 2010, compared to $107.3 million the
same period in 2009. The change in selling expense reflects declines in selling and employee
related costs.
We include the costs of physically managing inventory (warehousing and handling costs) in selling
expense. These costs totaled $9.8 million and $10.2 million in the third quarters of 2010 and
2009, respectively.
In the third quarters of 2010 and 2009, we recorded $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of
reimbursed shipping expenses within revenues and the related shipping costs within selling expense.
Shipping costs are included in selling expense and were $6.7 million and $5.2 million for the
quarters ended October 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009, respectively.
Advertising expense, which is included in selling expense, remained relatively flat at $8.9
million in the third quarter of 2010. Advertising expense includes co-op advertising costs,
consumer-facing advertising costs such as print, television and Internet campaigns, production
costs including agency fees, and catalog costs. Advertising costs are expensed at the time
Table of Contents
Form10-Q
Page 26
Page 26
the
advertising is used, predominantly in the season that the advertising costs are incurred. Prepaid
advertising recorded on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of October 1, 2010
and October 2, 2009 was $2.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
General and administrative expense for the third quarter of 2010 was $33.4 million, an increase of
15.9% compared to the $28.8 million reported in the third quarter of 2009, driven by increases of
$2.4 million in employee related costs, primarily share-based and incentive compensation, and $1.9
million in incremental costs related to a multi-year ERP system implementation.
Operating Income
We recorded operating income of $66.5 million in the third quarter of 2010, an increase of 13.8%
compared to operating income of $58.5 million in the prior year period, driven by revenue and
margin improvement partially offset by increases in operating expenses.
Other Income/(Expense) and Taxes
Interest income was $0.1 million in each of the third quarters of 2010 and 2009. Interest expense,
which is comprised of fees related to the establishment and maintenance of our revolving credit
facility and bank guarantees, was $0.1 million in each of the third quarters of 2010 and 2009.
Other, net, included foreign exchange gains of $4.8 million and $1.5 million in the third quarters
of 2010 and 2009, respectively, resulting from changes in the fair value of financial derivatives,
specifically forward contracts not designated as cash flow hedges, and the currency gains and
losses incurred on the settlement of foreign currency denominated receivables and payables. These
results were driven by the volatility of exchange rates within the third quarters of 2010 and 2009
and should not be considered indicative of expected future results.
The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2010 was 27.6%. The rate was impacted by
the release of approximately $3.9 million in tax accruals associated with tax clearance for certain
closed foreign operations, as well as the lapse of certain statutes of limitation, in the third
quarter of 2010. The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2009 was 38.2%. The rate
in 2009 was impacted by the release of approximately $0.8 million in tax accruals as a result of
the lapse of certain statutes of limitation in the third quarter of 2009.
Segments Review
We have three reportable business segments (see Note 7 to the unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements contained herein for additional information): North America, Europe and Asia.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2010, certain U.S. distribution expenses and short-term incentive
compensation costs previously reported in Unallocated Corporate were reclassified to North America,
Europe and Asia to conform to the current period presentation. Additionally, certain distributor
revenue and operating income reflected in our Europe segment in prior periods has been reclassified
to Asia to conform to the current period presentation.
Revenue by segment for the quarter ended October 1, 2010 compared to the quarter ended October 2,
2009 is as follows (dollars in millions):

North America
North America revenues were $181.5 million in the third quarter of 2010, a decrease of 3.6%
compared to the same period in 2009. Growth in apparel and accessories and our Timberland
PRO® footwear line was offset by declines in womens and kids footwear. Within North
America, our retail business was relatively flat. A 3.7% increase in comparable store sales, with
growth in both our specialty and outlet stores, was offset by the net closure of 4 stores. We had
66 stores at October 1, 2010 compared to 70 stores at October 2, 2009.
Operating income for our North America segment was $43.5 million compared to $41.6 million for the
third quarter of 2009, as margin improvement across all channels offset declines in revenue and an
increase in operating expenses. The increase was driven by a 350 basis point improvement in gross
margin due primarily to lower product costs, higher margin on reduced close-out revenue, and
favorable product mix. Operating expense increased 4.0%, driven by higher sales and advertising
spend.
Europe
Europe recorded revenues of $204.1 million in the third quarter of 2010, a 5.0% increase from the
third quarter of 2009, and an increase of 12.3% on a constant dollar basis. Double-digit growth in
Scandinavia and our distributor business, as well as growth in Central Europe and France, was
partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange rate impacts and declines in the Benelux region.
Double-digit growth in kids and womens footwear through the wholesale channel was complemented by
an increase of 2.8% in retail revenue. Retail improvements were driven by comparable store sales
increases of 9.8%, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange rate impacts. We had 64 stores
at October 1, 2010 compared to 62 stores at October 2, 2009.
Timberlands Europe segment recorded operating income of $51.3 million in the third quarter of
2010, compared to $41.5 million in the third quarter of 2009. A 50 basis point increase in gross
margin was driven by lower product costs and improved profitability on close-outs, partially offset
by unfavorable mix and foreign exchange rate impacts. In addition, Europe had a 7.7% decrease in
operating expenses, driven by favorable foreign exchange impacts. A decrease in government taxes
on certain foreign investments was offset by incremental store related, employee and labor related
costs.
Asia
In Asia, revenues increased 19.7%, or 13.3% in constant dollars, to $46.7 million in the third
quarter of 2010 due to continued strong growth in China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, and favorable
foreign exchange rate impacts. Retail revenues were up 21.9%, driven by strong apparel sales.
Comparable store sales grew 9.3% and we added 16 new stores and closed 6 stores year over year,
leaving us with 95 stores at October 1, 2010 compared to 85 stores at October 2, 2009.
Table of Contents
Form10-Q
Page 28
Page 28
Operating income in our Asia segment was $6.2 million for the third quarter of 2010, compared to
$4.3 million for the third quarter of 2009, driven by strong revenue growth and margin improvement,
partially offset by an increase in operating expenses. A 200 basis point improvement in gross
margin reflects favorable mix impacts, lower product costs and favorable foreign exchange rate
impacts, partially offset by increased provisions for sales returns and allowances. This
improvement was partially offset by an increase in operating expenses of 18.9% due to unfavorable
foreign exchange impacts, as well as higher store related and employee costs.
Unallocated Corporate
Our Unallocated Corporate expenses, which include central support and administrative costs not
allocated to our reportable business segments, increased 19.3% to $34.5 million, which reflects an
increase in incentive compensation costs and incremental costs associated with a multi-year ERP
system implementation, as well as unfavorability in certain supply chain costs, primarily inventory
cost variances, which are not allocated to our reportable segments.
Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2010 Compared to the Nine Months
Ended October 2, 2009
Revenue
In the first nine months of 2010, our consolidated revenues grew 4.5% to $938.3 million, reflecting
strong growth in Europe and Asia, and relatively flat revenue in North America. The impact of
changes in foreign exchange rates did not have a material impact on consolidated revenues. Nearly
every market in Europe and Asia delivered top-line growth for the first nine months of 2010
compared to the prior year period. Growth in Scandinavia, Southern and Central Europe, and the UK
was partially offset by declines in the Benelux region and our European distributor business. In
the first nine months of 2010, revenue in China nearly doubled and Taiwan posted double-digit
growth, in part due to new stores, leading the favorable year over year improvement in Asia.
Products
By product group, our footwear revenue increased 2.9% to $676.9 million compared to the prior year
and apparel and accessories revenue grew 10.1% to $244.2 million. Footwear revenue growth was
driven primarily by strong growth in Europe, with strength across all genders, and in Asia,
reflecting growth in mens footwear. This growth was partially offset by
declines in North America, where strength in our Timberland PRO® footwear was offset by
a decline in womens and kids footwear. The improvement in apparel and accessories revenues
compared to the prior year reflects revenue growth in Asia and North America in our own stores and
through our wholesale partners. Royalty and other revenue decreased 7.7% to $17.2 million compared
to the prior year period, primarily due to a decline in licensed kids apparel.
Channels
Wholesale revenue was $698.1 million in the first nine months of 2010, a 4.3% increase compared to
the first nine months of 2009, driven primarily by growth in footwear in Europe and apparel and
accessories in Asia. Retail revenues grew 5.0% to $240.2 million in the first nine months of 2010,
driven by comparable store sales growth, the net addition of 8 stores, and favorable foreign
exchange rate impacts in Asia. Global retail comparable store sales were up 3.8% compared to the
first nine months of 2009, with growth in both our specialty and outlet stores.
Gross Profit
Gross profit as a percentage of sales, or gross margin, was 48.8% for the first nine months of
2010, a 350 basis point improvement compared to the first nine months of 2009. Gross margin
improved for the first nine months of the year across all regions, and was driven by favorable mix
impacts, lower product costs, better pricing, in part due to less promotional activity in retail,
and reduced provisions for inventory and sales returns. While the benefits from mix may continue,
we expect that increased product costs as a result of higher leather, transportation and labor
costs will adversely impact gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2010 and through 2011.
Operating Expense
Operating expense for the first nine months of 2010 was $385.4 million, an increase of $19.0
million, or 5.2%, when
Table of Contents
Form10-Q
Page 29
Page 29
compared to the first nine months of 2009. Foreign exchange rate impacts
were not material in the first nine months of 2010. The change in operating expense was driven by
increases of $12.3 million in impairment charges, $8.6 million in general and administrative
expenses and $0.9 million in selling expense. These increases were partially offset by a $3.0
million gain related to the termination of licensing agreements during the first nine months of
2010.
Selling expense was $285.5 million in the first nine months of 2010, relatively flat when compared
to the same period in 2009. Selling expense reflects decreased advertising spend and lower fixed
asset write-offs compared to the prior year period offset by higher incentive compensation costs.
We include the costs of physically managing inventory (warehousing and handling costs) in selling
expense. These costs totaled $25.3 million and $27.4 million in the first nine months of 2010 and
2009, respectively.
In the first nine months of 2010 and 2009, we recorded $2.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively,
of reimbursed shipping expenses within revenues and the related shipping costs within selling
expense. Shipping costs are included in selling expense and were $14.6 million and $11.5 million
for the nine months ended October 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009, respectively.
Advertising expense, which is included in selling expense, was $18.0 million and $19.0 million in
the first nine months of 2010 and 2009, respectively. A decrease in television campaigns, and the
associated production costs, was partially offset by continued investment in brand concept,
Internet and other initiatives, and co-op advertising. Advertising expense includes co-op
advertising costs, consumer-facing advertising costs such as print, television and Internet
campaigns, production costs including agency fees, and catalog costs.
General and administrative expense for the first nine months of 2010 was $89.7 million, an increase
of 10.6% compared to the $81.1 million reported in the first nine months of 2009, driven by
increases in incentive compensation and other employee related costs of $5.7 million, as well as
$2.2 million in incremental costs related to initiatives in preparation for a multi-year ERP system
implementation.
Total operating expense in the first nine months of 2010 also includes an impairment charge of $7.8
million related to certain intangible assets, an impairment charge of $5.4 million related to
goodwill, and gains of $3.0 million associated with the termination of certain licensing
agreements. Total operating expense in the first nine months of 2009 included a charge of $0.9
million for the impairment of a trademark. See Notes 2 and 9 to the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial
statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional
information.
Operating Income
We recorded operating income of $72.6 million in the first nine months of 2010, compared to $40.3
million in the prior year period. The improvement year over year was driven by solid revenue
growth and a 350 basis point improvement in gross margin. Operating income in the first nine
months of 2010 included a goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge of $13.2 million and
gains on termination of licensing agreements of $3.0 million, compared to a $0.9 million intangible
asset impairment charge and restructuring credits of $0.2 million included in operating income in
the first nine months of 2009.
Other Income/(Expense) and Taxes
Interest income was $0.3 million and $0.8 million in the first nine months of 2010 and 2009,
respectively, reflecting lower interest rates. Interest expense, which is comprised of fees
related to the establishment and maintenance of our revolving credit facility and bank guarantees,
was $0.4 million in the first nine months of both 2010 and 2009.
Other, net, included foreign exchange gains of $5.4 million and $1.9 million in the first nine
months of 2010 and 2009, respectively, resulting from changes in the fair value of financial
derivatives, specifically forward contracts not designated as cash flow hedges, and the currency
gains and losses incurred on the settlement of foreign currency denominated receivables and
payables. These results were driven by the volatility of exchange rates within the first nine
months of 2010 and 2009 and should not be considered indicative of expected future results.
The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2010 was 30.4%. The 2010 rate was
impacted by the release of approximately $3.9 million in tax accruals as a result of final approval
associated with tax clearance for certain closed foreign operations, as well as the lapse of
certain statutes of limitation, in the third quarter of 2010. The effective income tax rate for
Table of Contents
Form10-Q
Page 30
Page 30
the first nine months of 2009 was 22.5%. The 2009 rate was impacted by a benefit of approximately
$7.3 million due to the closure of certain audits or the lapse of certain statutes of limitation in
the first nine months of 2009.
In December 2009, we received a Notice of Assessment from the Internal Revenue Department of Hong
Kong for approximately $17.6 million with respect to the tax years 2004 through 2008. In
connection with the assessment, the Company made required payments to the Internal Revenue
Department of Hong Kong totaling approximately $8.4 million in the first nine months of 2010. 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. However, actual resolution may differ from our current estimates, and such
differences could have a material impact on our future effective tax rate and our results of
operations.

North America
North America revenues were $395.3 million in the first nine months of 2010, flat compared to the
same period in 2009. Growth in SmartWool® accessories and Timberland®
apparel, as well as strong growth in our Timberland PRO® footwear line was partially
offset by declines in other footwear across all genders. Within North America, our retail business
was relatively

Form10-Q
Page 31
Page 31
flat, as a 1.0% increase in comparable store sales was partially offset by the
closure of 4 stores.
Operating income for our North America segment was $68.1 million, compared to $52.4 million for the
first nine months of 2009. The increase was driven by a 585 basis point improvement in gross
margin, due primarily to favorable mix impacts, reduced product costs, less promotional activity in
retail, and lower provisions for inventory and sales returns and allowances. Operating expenses
increased 7.3% reflecting goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges of $8.1 million,
primarily related to IPath, and increases in certain marketing initiatives and selling related
costs. These items were partially offset by a gain of $3.0 million associated with the termination
of licensing agreements and a reduction of $0.7 million associated with fixed asset write-offs
taken in 2009 related to our e-commerce business and underperforming retail stores.
Europe
Europe recorded revenues of $422.5 million in the first nine months of 2010, which was a 5.7%
increase from the first nine months of 2009, and an increase of 7.9% on a constant dollar basis.
Growth across our major markets in Europe, in particular Scandinavia,
Southern Europe and Central Europe,
was partially offset by declines in the Benelux region and certain distributor markets, such as
Greece and the Middle East. The increases were driven by strong growth in footwear sales through
the wholesale channel, as well as modest growth in our retail stores. Strength in retail apparel
and wholesale accessories sales was partially offset by wholesale apparel revenue declines. Retail
growth of 3.6% was driven by comparable store sales growth of 4.0%, and impacted by unfavorable
foreign exchange rate changes.
Timberlands Europe segment recorded operating income of $76.8 million in the first nine months of
2010, compared to $60.6 million in the first nine months of 2009. Improvement in Europe was driven
by revenue growth as well as a 120 basis point increase in gross margin from lower product costs
and favorable channel mix, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange rate impacts.
Operating expenses were flat year over year, as the impact of a $5.1 million impairment charge
related primarily to our howies and IPath trademarks was offset by favorable foreign exchange rate
impacts and a decrease in government taxes on certain foreign investments. Operating expense for
the 2009 period included a charge of $0.9 million for the impairment of the GoLite trademark.
Asia
In Asia, revenues increased 16.0%, or 10.8% in constant dollars, to $120.5 million in the first
nine months of 2010 due to strong growth in apparel and mens footwear in both wholesale and retail
channels. Retail revenues were up 15.1%, driven by comparable store sales growth of 8.4%, the net
addition of 10 stores, and favorable foreign exchange rate impacts.
Asia had operating income of $15.6 million for the first nine months of 2010, compared to $5.5
million for the first nine months
of 2009, driven by revenue growth and a 365 basis point improvement in gross margin, reflecting
favorable foreign exchange rate impacts, lower levels of sales returns and allowances and reduced
product costs. Operating expenses increased 6.1% driven primarily by unfavorable foreign exchange
rate impacts and higher selling related and incentive compensation costs.
Unallocated Corporate
Our Unallocated Corporate expenses, which include central support and administrative costs not
allocated to our reportable business segments, increased 12.4% to $87.9 million in the first nine
months of 2010, which reflects higher incentive compensation and other employee related costs,
incremental costs related to a multi-year ERP system implementation, and unfavorability in certain
supply chain costs, primarily inventory cost variances, which are not allocated to our reportable
segments, partially offset by decreased advertising costs.

The difference between changes in reported revenue (the most comparable GAAP measure) and constant
dollar revenue changes is the impact of foreign currency exchange rates. We calculate constant
dollar revenue changes by recalculating current year revenue using the prior years exchange rates
and comparing it to the prior year revenue reported on a GAAP basis. We provide constant dollar
revenue changes for Total Company, Europe and Asia results because we use the measure to
understand the underlying results and trends of the business segments excluding the impact of
exchange rate changes that are not under managements direct control. We have a foreign exchange
rate risk management program intended to minimize both the positive and negative effects of
currency fluctuations on our reported consolidated results of operations, financial position and
cash flows. The actions taken by us to mitigate foreign exchange risk are reflected in cost of
goods sold and other, net.
Accounts Receivable and Inventory
Accounts receivable were $269.0 million at October 1, 2010, compared with $149.2 million as of
December 31, 2009 and $270.3 million as of October 2, 2009. Days sales outstanding were 56 days as
of October 1, 2010, compared with 35 days as of December 31, 2009 and 58 days as of October 2,
2009. Wholesale days sales outstanding were 61 days for the third quarter of 2010, 45 days at
December 31, 2009 and 63 days for the third quarter of 2009.
Inventory was $239.8 million as of October 1, 2010, compared with $158.5 million at December 31,
2009 and $201.7 million as of October 2, 2009. The increase in inventory at the end of the third
quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 is driven by the timing of inventory receipts
and higher input costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash used by operations for the first nine months of 2010 was $93.9 million, compared to $62.7
million for the first nine months of 2009. The increase in cash use was due primarily to the
timing of inventory receipts.
Net cash used for investing activities was $11.5 million in the first nine months of 2010, compared
with $13.2 million in the first nine months of 2009. Cash used in the first nine months of 2009
included approximately $1.5 million for the acquisition of Glaudio.
Net cash used by financing activities was $71.4 million in the first nine months of 2010, compared
with $29.0 million in the first
nine months of 2009. Cash flows used for financing activities
reflect share repurchases of $73.7 million in the first nine

months of 2010, compared with $29.3 million in the first nine months of 2009. We received
cash inflows of $2.6 million in the first nine months of 2010 from the exercise of employee stock
options, compared with $1.4 million from such exercises in the first nine months of 2009.
We are exposed to the credit risk of those parties with which we do business, including
counterparties on our derivative contracts and our customers. 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 2012. 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.
Additionally, consumer spending continues to be affected by the current macro-economic environment,
particularly the disruption of the credit and stock markets and high unemployment. Continued
deterioration, or lack of improvement, in the markets and economic conditions generally could
adversely impact our customers and their ability to access credit.
We may utilize our committed and uncommitted lines of credit to fund our seasonal working capital
needs. We have not experienced any restrictions on the availability of these lines and the adverse
capital and credit market conditions are not expected to significantly affect our ability to meet
our liquidity needs.
We have an unsecured committed revolving credit agreement with a group of banks, which matures on
June 2, 2011 (Agreement). The Agreement provides for $200 million of committed borrowings, of
which up to $125 million may be used for letters of credit. Any letters of credit outstanding
under the Agreement ($1.6 million at October 1, 2010) reduce the amount available for borrowing
under the Agreement. Upon approval of the bank group, we may increase the committed borrowing
limit by $100 million for a total commitment of $300 million. Under the terms of the Agreement, we
may borrow at interest rates based on Eurodollar rates (approximately 0.4% at October 1, 2010),
plus an applicable margin based on a fixed-charge coverage grid of between 13.5 and 47.5 basis
points that is adjusted quarterly. As of October 1, 2010, the applicable margin under the facility
was 47.5 basis points. We pay a utilization fee of an additional 5 basis points if our outstanding
borrowings under the facility exceed $100 million. We also pay a commitment fee of 6.5 to 15 basis
points per annum on the total commitment, based on a fixed-charge coverage grid that is adjusted
quarterly. As of October 1, 2010, the commitment fee was 15 basis points. The Agreement places
certain limitations on additional debt, stock repurchases, acquisitions, and the amount of
dividends we may pay, and includes certain other financial and non-financial covenants. The
primary financial covenants relate to maintaining a minimum fixed-charge coverage ratio of 2.25:1
and a maximum leverage ratio of 2:1. We 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
continued volatility in the credit markets could result in significant increases in borrowing costs
for any new facility we may require. Our ability to obtain new financing with comparable terms
upon the maturity of our existing facility will depend upon prevailing market conditions, our
financial condition and the terms and conditions available at the time of such financing.
We have uncommitted lines of credit available from certain banks which totaled $30 million at
October 1, 2010. Any borrowings under these lines would be at prevailing money market rates.
Further, we have an uncommitted letter of credit facility of $80 million to support inventory
purchases. These arrangements may be terminated at any time at the option of the banks or at our
option.
We had no borrowings outstanding under any of our credit facilities during, or as of, the quarters
and nine months ended October 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009.
Management believes that our operating costs, capital requirements and funding for our share
repurchase program for the balance of 2010 will be funded through our current cash balances, our
existing credit facilities (which place certain limitations on additional debt, stock repurchases,
acquisitions and on the amount of dividends we may pay, and also contain certain other financial
and operating covenants) and cash from operations, without the need for additional financing.
We are undertaking a multi-year Business Transformation Initiative pursuant to which we will
develop and implement an ERP system to better support our business model and further streamline our
operations. It is the Companys intent to finance these costs with cash from operations, without
the need for additional financing. However, as discussed in the sections entitled Cautionary
Statements for Purposes of the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995 and Forward Looking Information on page 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and
in Part II, Item 1A, Risk
Table of Contents
Form 10-Q

Page 34
Factors, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, several risks and
uncertainties could require that the Company raise additional capital through equity and/or debt
financing. From time to time, the Company considers acquisition opportunities which, if pursued,
could also result in the need for additional financing. However, if the need arises, our ability
to obtain any additional financing will depend upon prevailing market conditions, our financial
condition and the terms and conditions of such financing. The continued volatility in the credit
markets could result in significant increases in borrowing costs for any
new debt we may require.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Letters of Credit
Letters of Credit
As of October 1, 2010, December 31, 2009 and October 2, 2009, we had letters of credit outstanding
of $15.8 million, $16.6 million and $16.9 million, respectively. These letters of credit were
issued principally in support of real estate commitments.
We use funds from operations and unsecured committed and uncommitted lines of credit as the primary
sources of financing for our seasonal and other working capital requirements. Our principal risks
related to these sources of financing are the impact on our financial condition from economic
downturns, a decrease in the demand for our products, increases in the prices of materials and a
variety of other factors.
New Accounting Pronouncements
A discussion of new accounting pronouncements, none of which had a material impact on our
operations, financial condition or liquidity, is included in Note 1 to the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
In the normal course of business, our financial position and results of operations are routinely
subject to a variety of risks, including market risk associated with interest rate movements on
borrowings and investments and currency rate movements on non-U.S. dollar denominated assets,
liabilities and cash flows. We regularly assess these risks and have established policies and
business practices that should mitigate a portion of the adverse effect of these and other
potential exposures.
We utilize cash from operations and U.S. dollar denominated borrowings to fund our working capital
and investment needs. Short-term debt, if required, is used to meet working capital requirements
and long-term debt, if required, is generally used to finance long-term investments. In addition,
we use derivative instruments to manage the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on a portion of
our foreign currency transactions. These derivative instruments are viewed as risk management
tools and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. Cash balances are invested in
high-grade securities with terms of less than three months.
We have available unsecured committed and uncommitted lines of credit as sources of financing for
our working capital requirements. Borrowings under these credit agreements bear interest at
variable rates based on either lenders cost of funds, plus an applicable spread, or prevailing
money market rates. As of October 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009, we had no short-term or long-term
debt outstanding.
Our foreign currency exposure is generated primarily from our European operating subsidiaries and,
to a lesser degree, our Asian and Canadian operating subsidiaries. We seek to mitigate the impact
of these foreign currency fluctuations through a risk management program that includes the use of
derivative financial instruments, primarily foreign currency forward contracts. These derivative
instruments are carried at fair value on our balance sheet. The Company has implemented a program
that qualifies for hedge accounting treatment to aid in mitigating our foreign currency exposures
and decreasing the volatility of our earnings. The foreign currency forward contracts under this
program will expire in 15 months or less. Based upon a sensitivity analysis as of
October 1, 2010, a 10% change in foreign exchange rates would cause the fair value of our
derivative instruments to increase/decrease by approximately $21.3 million, compared to an
increase/decrease of $12.2 million at December 31, 2009 and an increase/decrease of $15.6 million
at October 2, 2009.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures which are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) is recorded,
Table of Contents
Form 10-Q
Page 35
Page 35
processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. These
disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed under the federal securities laws is accumulated and
communicated to our management on a timely basis to allow decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act, were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, that occurred during the quarter ended October 1,
2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
Part II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you
should carefully consider the factors discussed in the section entitled Cautionary Statements for
Purposes of the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
on page 2 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (our Annual
Report on Form 10-K), in the section entitled Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual
Report on Form 10-K, and in the section entitled Risk Factors in Part II, Item 1A of any
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed subsequent to our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which could
materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in any Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q filed subsequent to our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our
Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to
be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future
results.
