NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the management of Columbia Sportswear Company (the “Company”) and in the opinion of management include all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2008, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. A significant part of the Company’s business is of a seasonal nature; therefore, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“generally accepted accounting principles”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company, however, believes that the disclosures contained in this report comply with the requirements of Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Estimates and assumptions:

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions. Some of these more significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory, product warranty, and income taxes.

Reclassifications:

Certain immaterial reclassifications of amounts reported in the prior period financial statements have been made to conform to classifications used in the current period financial statements.

Concentration of credit risk:

Derivatives

The Company routinely uses derivative instruments to hedge the exchange rate risk of anticipated transactions denominated in non-functional currencies. At September 30, 2008 no contract had a remaining maturity longer than one year. All the counterparties to these transactions had a Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) / Moody’s Investor Services (“Moody’s”) short-term credit rating of A-2 / P-1 or better with the majority having a rating of A-1+ / P-1. In addition, the net exposure to any single counterparty was immaterial at September 30, 2008.

Cash and Investments

At September 30, 2008, approximately seventy-five percent of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were concentrated in domestic and international money market mutual funds, a significant portion of which was held by a single financial institution. S&P rated all the Company’s domestic and international money market mutual funds AAAm, the highest rating assigned to a money market mutual fund.

On September 29, 2008, the U.S. Treasury Department announced a temporary guarantee program for money market mutual funds regulated under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The temporary guarantee program limits coverage to the lesser of fund balances at September 19, 2008 or fund balances immediately prior to an institution reporting a net asset value below $1 per share. The two broker-dealer institutions managing the Company’s domestic money market mutual funds have assured the Company that they have submitted the necessary applications to be covered under the program. The Company anticipates that the full domestic money market mutual fund balance at September 19, 2008, approximately $50,000,000, will be covered under the guarantee.

(Unaudited)

All the Company’s remaining cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were deposited with various institutions in the Company’s primary operating geographies. All institutions were rated investment grade by both S&P and Moody’s, and most were rated AA- / Aa1 or better.

Trade Receivables

Current credit and market conditions may slow the Company’s collection efforts as customers experience increased difficulty in accessing credit and paying their ongoing obligations, which could lead to higher than normal accounts receivable. This could result in greater expense associated with collection efforts and increased bad debt expense. No single customer accounted for greater than or equal to 10% of consolidated revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 or for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. No single customer accounted for greater than or equal to 10% of consolidated accounts receivable at September 30, 2008. The Company had one customer in its Canadian segment that accounted for approximately 12.4% of consolidated accounts receivable outstanding at December 31, 2007.

Cash and cash equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value, and include investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents were $142,955,000 and $191,950,000 at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, primarily consisting of money market funds and bank deposits.

Short-term investments:

Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposit with maturities of six months or less at September 30, 2008. At December 31, 2007, short-term investments consisted of certificates of deposit with maturities greater than three months and less than six months from the date of purchase and variable rate demand notes and obligations that generally mature up to 30 years from the purchase date. Investments with maturities beyond one year may be classified as short-term based on their highly liquid nature and because such marketable securities represent the investment of cash that is available for current operations. All short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale securities and are recorded at fair value with any unrealized gains and losses reported, net of tax, in other comprehensive income. Realized gains or losses are determined based on the specific identification method. The Company did not hold any auction-rate securities at September 30, 2008 or December 31, 2007 and has no investments considered to be trading or held-to-maturity securities.

Property, plant and equipment:

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of buildings, machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The principal estimated useful lives are: land improvements, 15 years; buildings and building improvements, 15-30 years; machinery and equipment, 3-5 years; and furniture and fixtures, 3-10 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the improvement, which is most commonly 7 years, or the remaining term of the underlying lease.

Product warranty:

Some of the Company’s products carry limited warranty provisions for defects in quality and workmanship. A warranty reserve is established at the time of sale to cover estimated costs based on the Company’s history of warranty repairs and replacements and is recorded in cost of sales. A summary of accrued warranties for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 is as follows (in thousands):

Recent accounting pronouncements:

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 162 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The provisions of SFAS No. 161 are effective for the fiscal years and interim quarters beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. This statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations. This statement replaces SFAS No. 141 and requires the acquirer of a business to recognize and measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value. SFAS No. 141R also requires transaction costs related to the business combination to be expensed as incurred. SFAS No. 141R is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This statement permits an entity to measure many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This framework is intended to increase consistency in how fair value determinations are made under various existing accounting standards that permit, or in some cases require, estimates of fair market value. SFAS No. 157 also expands financial statement disclosure requirements about a company’s use of fair value measurements, including the effect of such measures on earnings. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 10.

NOTE 2 - INVENTORIES, NET

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company periodically reviews its inventory for excess, close-out and slow moving items and makes provisions as necessary to properly reflect inventory value.

Inventories, net, consist of the following (in thousands):

NOTE 3 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized and are periodically evaluated for impairment. Intangible assets that are determined to have finite lives are amortized over their useful lives.

The following table summarizes the Company’s identifiable intangible assets balance (in thousands):

Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization is estimated to be $224,000 in each of 2008, 2009, and 2010, and $187,000 in 2011 and 2012.

Other non-current assets totaled $5,108,000 and $5,276,000 at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

NOTE 4 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

1997 Stock Incentive Plan

The Company’s 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides for issuance of up to 7,400,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, of which 745,503 shares were available for future grants under the Plan at September 30, 2008. The Plan allows for grants of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards. The Company uses original issuance shares to satisfy share-based payments. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment.

Stock Options

Options to purchase the Company’s common stock are granted at prices equal to or greater than the fair market value on the date of grant. Options granted prior to 2001 generally vest and become exercisable ratably over a period of five years from the date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant. Options granted after 2000 generally vest and become exercisable over a period of four years (twenty-five percent on the first anniversary date following the date of grant and monthly thereafter) and expire ten years from the date of the grant, with the exception of most options granted in 2005. Most options granted in 2005 vested and became exercisable one year from the date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes model. Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the exercise price of the award, the expected option term, the expected volatility of the Company’s stock over the option’s expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the option’s expected term, and the Company’s estimated annual dividend yield. Assumptions are evaluated and revised as necessary to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s experience. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by people who receive equity awards.

The following table shows the weighted average assumptions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007:

The following table summarizes stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2008:

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents pre-tax intrinsic value that would have been realized if all options had been exercised on the last business day of the period indicated, based on the Company’s closing stock price on that day. Total stock option compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $2,621,000 and $3,397,000, respectively. At September 30, 2008 and 2007, unrecognized costs related to stock options totaled approximately $7,439,000 and $7,650,000, respectively, before any related tax benefit. The unrecognized costs related to stock options are being amortized over the related vesting period using the straight-line attribution method. Unrecognized costs related to stock options at September 30, 2008 are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.04 years. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $917,000 and $10,312,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The total cash received as a result of stock option exercises for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $3,541,000 and $14,279,000, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units

Service-based restricted stock units are granted at no cost to key employees and generally vest over three years from the date of grant. Performance-based restricted stock units are granted at no cost to certain members of the Company’s senior executive team, excluding the Chairman and the President and Chief Executive Officer, and generally vest over a performance period of between two and one-half and three years with an additional required service period of one year. Restricted stock units vest in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and are based on continued service and, in some instances, on individual performance and /or Company performance.

Prior to 2007, the fair value of service-based and performance-based restricted stock units was determined based on the number of units granted and the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Effective January 1, 2007, the fair value of service-based and performance-based restricted stock units is discounted by the present value of the future stream of dividends over the vesting period using the Black-Scholes model. The relevant assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to compute the discount are the vesting period, dividend yield and closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. This change in valuation method is the result of the Company’s initiation of a quarterly cash dividend in the fourth quarter of 2006.

The following table presents the weighted average assumptions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007:

The following table summarizes the restricted stock unit activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2008:

Restricted stock unit compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $2,281,000 and $2,032,000, respectively. At September 30, 2008 and 2007, unrecognized costs related to restricted stock units totaled approximately $6,839,000 and $6,668,000, respectively, before any related tax benefit. The unrecognized costs related to restricted stock units are being amortized over the related vesting period using the straight-line attribution method. These unrecognized costs at September 30, 2008 are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.99 years. The total fair value of restricted stock units vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $1,048,000 and $1,071,000, respectively.

1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In 1999, the Company’s shareholders approved the 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). There are 750,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the ESPP, which allows qualified employees of the Company to purchase shares on a quarterly basis up to fifteen percent of their respective compensation. The purchase price of the shares is equal to eighty-five percent of the lesser of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the first or last trading day of the respective quarter. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company suspended offerings under the ESPP indefinitely. As of September 30, 2008 a total of 275,556 shares of common stock had been issued under the ESPP.

NOTE 5 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes, reported on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and the unrealized gains and losses on derivative transactions. A summary of comprehensive income, net of related tax effects, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 is as follows (in thousands):

Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related tax effects, consisted of the following (in thousands):

NOTE 6 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the calculation of diluted EPS, the basic weighted average number of shares is increased by the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units determined using the treasury stock method.

A reconciliation of the shares of common stock used in the denominator for computing basic and diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Stock options and service-based restricted stock units representing 1,457,729 and 313,174 shares of common stock were outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 1,409,608 and 249,183 shares of common stock were outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, but these shares were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Performance-based restricted stock units representing 41,214 and 25,040 shares of common stock were outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 41,996 and 24,075 shares of common stock were outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, but those shares were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because they were subject to performance conditions that had not been met.

Since the inception of the Company’s stock repurchase plan in 2004 through September 30, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of $400,000,000 of the Company’s common stock and the Company has repurchased 8,582,333 shares under this program at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $395,521,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company repurchased an aggregate of $79,386,000 under the stock repurchase plan, of which $54,988,000 was recorded as a reduction to total retained earnings; otherwise, the aggregate purchase price would have resulted in a negative common stock carrying amount. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares or to acquire shares over any specified period of time.

(Unaudited)

In October 2008, the Company reached the limit of the Board of Directors’ previous stock repurchase authorizations resulting in the repurchase of 8,694,657 shares at an aggregate price of $400,000,000 since April 2004. In October 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $100,000,000 of the Company’s common stock. Shares of the Company’s common stock may be purchased in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, subject to the market conditions. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares or acquire shares over any specified period of time.

NOTE 7 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates in four geographic segments: (1) United States, (2) Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), (3) Latin America and Asia Pacific (“LAAP”), and (4) Canada, which are reflective of the Company’s internal organization, management, and oversight structure. Each geographic segment operates predominantly in one industry: the design, production, marketing and selling of active outdoor apparel, including outerwear, sportswear, footwear and related accessories and equipment.

In 2007, the Company reclassified its geographical net sales and segment reporting to reflect changes in its internal management and oversight structure as well as growth of the international distributor business. Net sales to international distributors, previously included as part of “Other International,” have been regrouped into either the EMEA or LAAP region, in accordance with the markets in which each respective distributor operates.

The geographic distribution of the Company’s net sales, income before income tax, interest income (expense), income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, identifiable assets, and goodwill are summarized in the following tables (in thousands). In addition to the geographic distribution of net sales, the Company’s net sales by major product line are also summarized below. Inter-geographic net sales, which are recorded at a negotiated mark-up and eliminated in consolidation, are not material.

NOTE 8 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

As part of the Company’s risk management programs, the Company uses a variety of financial instruments, including foreign currency option and forward contracts. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

The Company hedges against the currency risk associated with anticipated transactions for approximately the next twelve months denominated in European euros, Canadian dollars and Japanese yen. The Company accounts for these instruments as cash flow hedges. In accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended, such financial instruments are marked to market with the effective portion offset to accumulated other comprehensive income and any ineffective portion offset to current earnings. Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are subsequently amortized to cost of goods sold when the underlying transaction is included in earnings. Hedge effectiveness is determined by evaluating the ability of a hedging instrument’s cumulative change in fair value to offset the cumulative change in the present value of expected cash flows on the underlying exposures. Hedge ineffectiveness was not material during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.

In the normal course of business, the Company’s 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-functional currency denominated assets, liabilities and income. The Company regularly assesses these risks and has established policies and business practices that serve to mitigate these potential exposures. The Company does not enter into foreign currency or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.

The Company’s foreign currency risk management objective is to mitigate the uncertainty of anticipated cash flows attributable to changes in exchange rates. Particular focus is put on anticipated cash flows resulting from anticipated inventory purchases and the related receivables and payables, including third party or intercompany transactions.

The Company manages this risk primarily by using currency forward exchange contracts and options. Anticipated transactions that are hedged carry a high level of certainty and are expected to be recognized within one year. The Company uses cross-currency swaps to hedge foreign currency denominated payments related to intercompany loan agreements. Hedged transactions are denominated primarily in the Euro, Japanese yen and Canadian dollars.

The Company attempts to mitigate exchange rate risk through hedging practices. However, if recent foreign currency exchange rate volatility continues, it is reasonably possible that the Company could experience a materially adverse effect on the cost of goods sold during the next twelve months.

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Letters of credit outstanding issued for purchase orders of inventory were $6,304,000 and $13,738,000 at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Product purchase obligations for open production purchase orders for sourced apparel, footwear, accessories and equipment, and materials used to manufacture apparel were $277,379,000 and $148,835,000 at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Operating Leases

Future minimum operating lease payments, including rent escalation clauses, were $211,166,000 and $94,274,000 at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Future minimum payments do not include real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance and other costs for which the Company may be obligated.

There have not been any other material changes relating to the commitments and contingencies reported on the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

NOTE 10 - FAIR VALUE MEASURES

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. SFAS No. 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2008 are as follows (in thousands):

There were no assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Item 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include any statements related to our expectations regarding future performance or market position, including any statements regarding anticipated sales results across markets, distribution channels and product categories, access to raw materials and factory capacity, and financing and working capital requirements and resources.

These forward-looking statements, and others we make from time to time, are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Many factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements, including the risks described below in Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors. We do not undertake any duty to update forward-looking statements after the date they are made or to conform them to actual results or to changes in circumstances or expectations.

The following discussion of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources, including known trends and uncertainties identified by management, should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report.

In 2007, we reclassified our geographical net sales and segment reporting to reflect changes in our internal management and oversight structure as well as growth of the international distributor business. Net sales to international distributors, previously included as part of “Other International,” have been regrouped into either the new Europe, Middle-East and Africa (“EMEA”) or Latin America and Asia Pacific (“LAAP”) region, in accordance with the markets in which each respective distributor operates. Previously reported geographical net sales information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was reclassified to reflect this change.

All references to quarters relate to the quarter ended September 30 of the particular year.

Overview

Highlights for the third quarter of 2008 are as follows:

Table of Contents

Since our initial public offering in 1998, our net sales have increased from $427.3 million in 1998 to $1,356.0 million in 2007, which equates to a compound annual growth rate of approximately 14% for this period. Although we cannot predict future results with certainty and despite current global economic conditions, we are committed to our demand creation and retail expansion strategies to stimulate increased consumer demand and improve inventory management with minimal disruption to our wholesale distribution channels. With our commitment to investment in these strategies, a well-developed sourcing and distribution infrastructure and a proven design and product development team, we believe that we are well positioned to establish sustainable platforms that will support long-term growth and profitability.

Results of Operations

Net income decreased $4.3 million, or 7%, to $58.3 million for the third quarter of 2008 from $62.6 million for the comparable period in 2007. Diluted earnings per share was $1.69 for the third quarter of 2008 compared to $1.72 for the third quarter of 2007.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the percentage relationship to net sales of specified items in our consolidated statements of operations:

Quarter Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to Quarter Ended September 30, 2007

Net Sales: Consolidated net sales decreased 4% to $452.4 million for the third quarter of 2008 from $471.1 million for the comparable period in 2007. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared with the third quarter of 2007 contributed one percentage point of benefit to consolidated net sales for the third quarter of 2008.

The decrease in net sales was driven by decreased net sales in the United States, EMEA region and Canada, partially offset by increased net sales in the LAAP region. By product category, the reduction in net sales was led by footwear, followed by outerwear and sportswear, partially offset by an increase in net sales of accessories and equipment.

Sales by Geographic Region

Net sales in the United States decreased $12.9 million, or 5%, to $271.3 million for the third quarter of 2008 from $284.2 million for the comparable period in 2007. The decrease in net sales in the United States was led by sportswear, followed by outerwear, footwear and accessories and equipment. The net sales decrease was led by the wholesale business for the Columbia brand, partially offset by increased net sales through our retail stores as a result of our expanded retail business and an increase in net sales of Mountain Hardwear brand outerwear. The decrease in wholesale net sales in the United States was primarily the result of lower initial order volumes for fall 2008 season and the weak U.S. retail environment resulting from difficult macro-economic conditions.

Net sales in the EMEA region decreased $9.1 million, or 10%, to $78.2 million for the third quarter of 2008 from $87.3 million for the comparable period in 2007. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared with 2007 contributed six percentage points of benefit to the EMEA net sales comparison. The decrease in net sales in the EMEA region was led by footwear, followed by sportswear and outerwear. Net sales of accessories and equipment in the EMEA region remained essentially flat compared to the third quarter of 2007. The net sales decreases for EMEA direct and EMEA distributors were essentially equal. The decrease in EMEA direct net sales was a result of lower initial order volumes due to continued product assortment and marketing challenges, coupled with economic uncertainty in that region. The decrease in net sales to EMEA distributors reflects earlier shipments of our fall 2008 products in this year’s second quarter, compared with shipments of our fall 2007 line, more of which occurred in last year’s third quarter.

Net sales in the LAAP region increased $4.3 million, or 10%, to $46.1 million for the third quarter of 2008 from $41.8 million for the comparable period in 2007. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared with 2007 contributed less than one percentage point of benefit to the LAAP net sales comparison. Net sales growth in the LAAP region was driven by our Japan business, followed by our Korea business, partially offset by a decrease in net sales to LAAP distributors. The increase in Japan net sales was primarily the result of growth in our retail business as well as continued expansion with key wholesale partners, particularly in the sports chain channel.

Net sales in Canada decreased $1.0 million, or 2%, to $56.8 million for the third quarter of 2008 from $57.8 million for the comparable period in 2007. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared with 2007 contributed one percentage point of benefit to Canada’s net sales comparison. The decrease in net sales in Canada was primarily the result of a decrease in net sales of outerwear, partially offset by increased net sales in sportswear, footwear and accessories and equipment. The net sales decrease in outerwear was primarily attributable to lower initial order volumes for the fall 2008 season. The decrease in net sales in Canada was partially offset by incremental sales of fall 2008 Mountain Hardwear brand and Montrail brand products that were previously sold through third party distributors. We began selling Mountain Hardwear brand and Montrail brand products directly in the Canadian market beginning with the spring 2008 product line.

Sales by Product Category

Net sales of sportswear decreased $4.4 million, or 3%, to $157.5 million for the third quarter of 2008 from $161.9 million for the comparable period in 2007. The decrease in sportswear net sales was the result of a decrease in net sales in the United States, followed by the EMEA region, partially offset by increased net sales in the LAAP region and Canada. The sportswear net sales decrease was led by the United States wholesale business for the Columbia brand, partially offset by increased net sales through our retail stores as a result of our expanded retail business. We primarily attribute the decrease in wholesale sportswear net sales in the United States to lower initial order volumes for fall 2008 season and the weak U.S. retail environment resulting from difficult macro-economic conditions.

Net sales of outerwear decreased $7.2 million, or 3%, to $208.6 million for the third quarter of 2008 from $215.8 million for the comparable period in 2007. The decrease in outerwear net sales was led by the United States, followed by Canada and the EMEA region, partially offset by a net sales increase in the LAAP region. The outerwear net sales decrease was led by the United States wholesale business for the Columbia brand, partially offset by an increase in net sales of Mountain Hardwear brand outerwear and increased net sales through our retail stores as a result of our expanded retail business. The decrease in wholesale outerwear net sales in the United States was primarily the result of lower initial order volumes for fall 2008 season and the continued weak U.S. retail environment resulting from difficult macro-economic conditions.

Net sales of footwear decreased $7.8 million, or 11%, to $63.6 million for the third quarter of 2008 from $71.4 million for the comparable period in 2007. The decrease in footwear net sales was led by the EMEA region, followed by the United States, partially offset by an increase in net sales in the LAAP region and Canada. The decreases in net sales of footwear for EMEA direct and EMEA distributors were essentially equal. The decrease in EMEA direct footwear net sales was primarily the result of lower initial order volumes due to continued product assortment and marketing challenges, coupled with economic uncertainty in that region. The decrease in EMEA distributor footwear net sales was largely attributable to earlier shipments of fall 2008 products in this year’s second quarter, compared with shipments of our fall 2007 line, more of which occurred in last year’s third quarter.

Net sales of accessories and equipment increased $0.7 million, or 3%, to $22.7 million for the third quarter of 2008 from $22.0 million for the comparable period in 2007. The increase in accessories and equipment net sales was led by the LAAP region, followed by Canada. The increase in net sales of accessories and equipment were partially offset by a decrease in the United States while net sales remained essentially flat in the EMEA region. The increase in accessories and equipment net sales in the LAAP region was primarily attributable to increased sales of bags and packs.

Gross Profit: Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 44.7% for the third quarter of 2008 from 43.2% for the comparable period in 2007. Gross profit expansion was primarily due to improved sportswear and footwear product margins, favorable foreign currency hedge rates and a lower volume of close-out product sales at better comparative margins.

Our gross profits may not be comparable to those of other companies in our industry because some include all of the costs related to their distribution network in cost of sales. We, like others, have chosen to include these expenses as a component of SG&A expense.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense: SG&A expense includes all costs associated with our design, merchandising, marketing, distribution and corporate functions, including related depreciation and amortization.

Table of Contents

SG&A expense increased $8.6 million, or 8%, to $120.8 million for the third quarter of 2008 from $112.2 million for the comparable period in 2007. Selling expenses increased $3.1 million, or 8%, and general and administrative expenses increased $5.5 million, or 8%. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expense increased to 26.7% of net sales for the third quarter of 2008 from 23.8% of net sales for the comparable period in 2007.

Selling expenses, including commissions and advertising, increased to 9.2% of net sales for the third quarter of 2008 from 8.2% of net sales for the comparable period in 2007. We attribute the increase in selling expenses as a percentage of net sales to our increased marketing investments to drive consumer demand for our brands, which was amplified by a decrease in consolidated net sales for the quarter.

The increase in general and administrative expenses primarily resulted from the start-up and operational costs of our new retail stores. Depreciation and amortization included in SG&A expense totaled $7.8 million for the third quarter of 2008, compared to $7.5 million for the same period in 2007.

Net Licensing Income: We derive net licensing income from income that we earn through licensing our trademarks across a range of categories that complement our current product offerings. Products distributed by our licensees for the third quarter of 2008 included socks, bicycles, insulated products including soft-sided coolers, leather accessories, camping gear, eyewear, watches, home furnishings, and other accessories.

Net licensing income increased to $1.9 million for the third quarter of 2008 compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2007. The components of licensing income for the third quarter of 2008 were led by socks, followed by leather accessories, leather outerwear, eyewear, insulated products and bicycles.

Interest Income, Net: Net interest income was $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2008 compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2007. The decrease in interest income was due to a change in the mix of cash and short-term investments, coupled with lower interest rates compared to the same period in 2007. Interest expense was nominal for the third quarter of 2008 and the comparable period in 2007.

Income Tax Expense: The provision for income taxes decreased to $26.6 million for the third quarter of 2008 from $32.0 million for the comparable period in 2007 due to lower income and a lower effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Our effective income tax rate was 31.3% for the third quarter of 2008 compared to 33.9% for the same period in 2007. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily due to the recognition of a tax benefit associated with a tax reserve and the fact that a greater percentage of our income in 2008 is expected to be earned in foreign jurisdictions that tax corporate income at a lower rate than the U.S. tax rate.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007

Net Sales: Consolidated net sales decreased 2% to $962.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $979.3 million for the comparable period in 2007. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates contributed two percentage points of benefit to consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007.

The decrease in net sales was led primarily by the United States, followed by the EMEA region, partially offset by increased net sales in the LAAP region and Canada. By product category, the reduction in net sales was led by sportswear, followed by footwear, partially offset by increased net sales of outerwear and accessories and equipment.

Sales by Geographic Region

Net sales in the United States decreased $34.1 million, or 6%, to $522.7 million from $556.8 million for the comparable period in 2007. The reduction in net sales in the United States was led by sportswear, followed by outerwear and footwear, while net sales of accessories and equipment remained essentially flat. The net sales decrease was led by the wholesale business for the Columbia brand, partially offset by increased net sales through our retail stores as a result of our expanded retail business. The decrease in wholesale net sales was primarily the result of lower initial order volumes for spring and fall 2008 seasons and the weak U.S. retail environment resulting from difficult macro-economic conditions. In addition, unseasonably cool weather conditions in the spring 2008 season led to significant order reductions and cancellations.

Net sales in the EMEA region decreased $3.8 million, or 2%, to $207.3 million from $211.1 million for the comparable period in 2007. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates contributed seven percentage points of benefit to the EMEA net sales comparison. The decrease in net sales in the EMEA region was led by footwear, followed by sportswear, offset by an increase in outerwear net sales and a modest increase in net sales of accessories and equipment. The decrease in net sales in the EMEA region included a decrease in EMEA direct net sales, partially offset by an increase in net sales to EMEA distributors. The decrease in EMEA direct net sales was result of lower initial order volumes in spring and fall 2008 seasons due to continued product assortment and marketing challenges, coupled with economic uncertainty in that region. The increase in net sales to EMEA distributors primarily reflects increased outerwear net sales to our largest distributor.

Net sales in the LAAP region increased $19.3 million, or 17%, to $135.2 million from $115.9 million for the comparable period in 2007. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates contributed three percentage points of benefit to the LAAP net sales comparison. Net sales growth in the LAAP region was led by our Japan business, followed by our Korea business and our LAAP distributor businesses. The increase in Japan net sales was primarily the result of growth in our retail business as well as continued expansion with key wholesale partners, particularly in the sports chain channel.

Net sales in Canada increased $2.2 million, or 2%, to $97.7 million from $95.5 million for the comparable period in 2007. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates contributed six percentage points of benefit to Canada’s net sales comparison. The increase in net sales in Canada was led by sportswear, followed by accessories and equipment, offset by a decrease in net sales of outerwear and footwear. The increase in Canada net sales was primarily the result of incremental sales of Mountain Hardwear brand and Montrail brand products that were previously sold through third party distributors, partially offset by a decrease in sales of Columbia brand outerwear primarily attributable to lower initial order volumes for the fall 2008 season.

Sales by Product Category

Net sales of sportswear decreased $15.3 million, or 3%, to $434.1 million from $449.4 million for the comparable period in 2007. The decrease in sportswear net sales was predominantly the result of decreased net sales in the United States, followed by the EMEA region, offset by net sales increases in the LAAP region and Canada. The sportswear net sales decrease was led by the United States wholesale business for the Columbia brand, partially offset by increased net sales through our retail stores as a result of our expanded retail business. We primarily attribute the decrease in wholesale net sales of sportswear to lower initial order volumes and the weak U.S. retail environment resulting from difficult macro-economic conditions. In addition, unseasonably cool weather conditions in the spring 2008 season led to significant order reductions and cancellations.

Net sales of outerwear increased $4.6 million, or 1%, to $320.0 million from $315.4 million for the comparable period in 2007. The increase in outerwear net sales was led by the LAAP region, followed by the EMEA region, partially offset by a net sales decrease in the United States and Canada. The net sales increase of outerwear in the LAAP region was driven by our Japan business, followed by our Korea business and net sales to LAAP distributors. The increase in net sales of outerwear in Japan was primarily the result of growth in our retail business as well as continued expansion with key wholesale partners, particularly in the sports chain channel.

Net sales of footwear decreased $9.4 million, or 6%, to $157.4 million from $166.8 million for the comparable period in 2007. The decrease in footwear net sales was led by the EMEA region, followed by the United States and Canada, partially offset by a slight increase in net sales in the LAAP region. The decrease in footwear net sales in the EMEA region was led by EMEA direct footwear net sales, followed by EMEA distributor net sales. The decrease in EMEA direct footwear net sales was primarily the result of lower initial order volumes due to continued product assortment and marketing challenges, coupled with economic uncertainty in that region. The decrease in EMEA distributor footwear net sales was primarily a result of earlier shipments of spring 2008 product that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Net sales of accessories and equipment increased $3.7 million, or 8%, to $51.4 million from $47.7 million for the comparable period in 2007. Accessories and equipment net sales growth was led by the LAAP region, followed by Canada and the EMEA region while net sales in the United States remained essentially flat. The increase in accessories and equipment net sales in the LAAP region was primarily attributable to increased sales of bags and packs.

Gross Profit: Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 43.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from 43.0% for the comparable period in 2007. Gross profit percentages expanded in our outerwear, sportswear and footwear categories, partially offset by a contraction in accessories and equipment gross profit percentage. Gross profit expansion was primarily due to favorable foreign currency hedge rates, a lower volume of close-out product sales and some increased average selling prices.

Improvement in foreign currency hedge rates for our fall 2008 selling season favorably affected our gross profit. Since our global supply of inventory is generally purchased with U.S. dollars, the gross profit of our direct international businesses is partially dependent on the valuation of the U.S. dollar. For our fall 2008 selling season, the hedge rates for our European, Canadian and Japanese businesses improved from our fall 2007 selling season.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense: SG&A expense increased $34.2 million, or 12%, to $316.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $281.8 million for the comparable period in 2007. Selling expenses increased $5.6 million, or 7%, and general and administrative expenses increased $28.6 million, or 14%. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expense increased to 32.8% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from 28.8% of net sales for the comparable period in 2007.

Selling expenses, including commissions and advertising, increased to 9.2% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from 8.5% of net sales for the comparable period in 2007. We attribute the increase in selling expenses as a percentage of net sales to our increased marketing investments to drive consumer demand for our brands, which was amplified by a decrease in consolidated net sales for nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007.

The increase in general and administrative expenses primarily resulted from the start-up and operational costs of our new retail stores. Depreciation and amortization included in SG&A expense totaled $22.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $21.4 million for the same period in 2007.

The components of licensing income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were led by socks, followed by insulated products, leather accessories, eyewear, bicycles and camping gear.

Interest Income, Net: Net interest income was $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $7.1 million for the same period in 2007. The decrease in interest income was due to a change in the mix of cash and short-term investments, coupled with lower interest rates compared to the same period in 2007. Interest expense was nominal for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and the comparable period in 2007.

Income Tax Expense: The provision for income taxes decreased to $36.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $50.6 million for the comparable period in 2007 due to lower income and a lower effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Our effective income tax rate was 32.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to 33.9% for the same period in 2007. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily due to the recognition of a tax benefit associated with a tax reserve and the fact that a greater percentage of our income in 2008 is expected to be earned in foreign jurisdictions that tax corporate income at a lower rate than the U.S. tax rate.

Seasonality of Business

Our business is affected by the general seasonal trends common to the outdoor apparel industry, with sales and profits highest in the third calendar quarter. Our products are marketed on a seasonal basis, with product sales mix weighted substantially toward the fall season. Results of operations in any period should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for any future period. Sales of our products are subject to substantial cyclical fluctuation and impacts from unseasonable weather conditions. Sales tend to decline in periods of recession or uncertainty regarding future economic prospects that affect the financial strength and purchasing patterns of our retail partners or cause reduced consumer spending, particularly on discretionary items. This cyclicality and any related fluctuation in consumer and wholesale demand could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

Business Strategy and Outlook Update

Our business, like other branded consumer product companies, is heavily dependent upon discretionary consumer spending patterns. Our net sales volumes have been affected by the unpredictability of the global economy, its impact on consumer purchasing behavior and retailers’ behavior related to advance orders, order cancellations and seasonal reorders. The current macro-economic environment in the U.S. has caused tightening of credit for our customers and consumers and a significant slowing of retail sales. This has resulted in, and could continue to cause, a more cautious approach by many of our wholesale customers when placing advance orders for seasonal products and reducing, delaying delivery, or cancelling advance orders placed in prior periods. These pressures are also emerging in other global markets. In addition, the effects of foreign currency exchange rates may amplify our revenue decline if the U.S. dollar continues to strengthen compared to foreign currencies in our direct markets. We expect our retail revenues to partially offset some of this wholesale decline.

We believe that we have appropriately factored into our plans our historical experiences, current retail expectations, incremental sales from our new retail stores, and the estimated effect of foreign currency exchange rate differences, however macro-economic conditions have increased the uncertainty of our ability to rely on these historic experiences and estimates. Historically, our results in the fourth quarter are more variable than the third quarter because they rely more heavily on fall weather patterns and the pace of retail sell-through to stimulate customer reorders. In this challenging economic environment, we are also mindful of our reliance on the overall financial health of our customers and their ability to continue to access credit markets to fund their purchases and day-to-day operations.

Despite the current environment, we remain committed to investing in our demand creation and retail expansion strategies that we believe will stimulate consumer demand, enhance our brand equity, grow our market share, improve inventory management and distribution of excess and end-of-season products in the U.S., and be accretive to earnings in the long-term after the economy

recovers. In the short-term, we expect that pursuing these strategies during a period of economic turmoil will negatively affect our operating income by increasing SG&A expenses as a percentage of consolidated net sales. However, we expect these investments to establish sustainable platforms that will support improved long-term growth and profitability.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary ongoing funding requirements are for working capital, investing activities associated with the expansion of our global operations and general corporate needs. At September 30, 2008 we had total cash and cash equivalents of $143.0 million compared to $192.0 million at December 31, 2007.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to net cash used of $68.4 million for the same period in 2007. The change was primarily due to smaller increases in inventory and accounts receivable during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $46.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $70.6 million for the comparable period in 2007. For the 2008 period, net cash provided by investing activities primarily consisted of $79.2 million for net sales of short-term investments, partially offset by $40.4 million for capital expenditures, of which $7.5 million was incurred but not yet paid. For the 2007 period, net cash provided by investing activities primarily consisted of net sales of short-term investments of $88.3 million, partially offset by $20.1 million used for capital expenditures, of which $2.4 million was incurred but not yet paid.

Cash used in financing activities was $92.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $20.6 million for the comparable period in 2007. For the 2008 period, net cash used in financing activities primarily consisted of the repurchase of common stock at an aggregate price of $79.6 million and payment of dividends of $16.7 million. For the 2007 period, net cash used in financing activities primarily consisted of the repurchase of $17.7 million of common stock, the payment of dividends of $15.2 million and the net repayments of notes payable of $3.6 million, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of common stock under employee stock plans of $14.3 million.

To assist with the funding of our domestic working capital requirements, we have available unsecured revolving lines of credit with aggregate seasonal limits ranging from $50.0 million to $125.0 million, of which $25.0 million to $100.0 million is committed. At September 30, 2008, no balance was outstanding under these lines of credit and we were in compliance with covenants associated with our lines of credit. Internationally, our subsidiaries have local currency operating lines in place guaranteed by us with a combined limit of approximately $118.0 million at September 30, 2008, of which $4.1 million is designated as a European customs guarantee. At September 30, 2008, no balance was outstanding under these lines of credit.

We expect to fund our future capital expenditures with existing cash and cash provided by operations. If the need arises for additional expenditures, we may need to seek additional funding. Our ability to obtain additional financing will depend on many factors, including prevailing market conditions, our financial condition, and our ability to negotiate favorable terms and conditions. Financing may not be available on terms that are acceptable or favorable to us, if at all.

Our operations are affected by seasonal trends typical in the outdoor apparel industry, and have historically resulted in higher sales and profits in the third calendar quarter. This pattern has resulted primarily from the timing of shipments to wholesale customers for the fall outerwear season. We believe that our liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months will be adequately covered by existing cash, cash provided by operations and existing short-term borrowing arrangements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We maintain unsecured and uncommitted import lines of credit with a combined limit of $150.0 million at September 30, 2008, available for issuing documentary letters of credit. At September 30, 2008, we had letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $6.3 million issued for purchase orders for inventory.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“generally accepted accounting principles”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make various estimates and judgments that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales, cost of sales and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described below have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates. Because of the uncertainty inherent in these matters, actual results could differ from the estimates we use in applying the critical

21

Table of Contents

accounting policies. We base our ongoing estimates on historical experience and other various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Many of these critical accounting policies affect working capital account balances, including the policy for revenue recognition, the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, the provision for potential excess, close-out and slow moving inventory, product warranty, income taxes and stock-based compensation.

Management and our independent auditors regularly discuss with our audit committee each of our critical accounting estimates, the development and selection of these accounting estimates, and the disclosure about each estimate in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. These discussions typically occur at our quarterly audit committee meetings and include the basis and methodology used in developing and selecting these estimates, the trends in and amounts of these estimates, specific matters affecting the amount of and changes in these estimates, and any other relevant matters related to these estimates, including significant issues concerning accounting principles and financial statement presentation.

Revenue Recognition

We record wholesale and licensed product revenues when title passes and the risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the customer, based on the terms of sale. Title generally passes upon shipment or upon receipt by the customer depending on the country of the sale and the agreement with the customer. Retail store revenues are recorded at the time of sale.

In some countries outside of the United States where title passes upon receipt by the customer, predominantly where we sell directly in Western Europe, precise information regarding the date of receipt by the customer is not readily available. In these cases, we estimate the date of receipt by the customer based on historical and expected delivery times by geographic location. We periodically test the accuracy of these estimates based on actual transactions. Delivery times vary by geographic location, generally from one to seven days. To date, we have found these estimates to be materially accurate.

At the time of revenue recognition, we also provide for estimated sales returns and miscellaneous claims from customers as reductions to revenues. The estimates are based on historical rates of product returns and claims. However, actual returns and claims in any future period are inherently uncertain and thus may differ from the estimates. If actual or expected future returns and claims are significantly greater or lower than the reserves that we have established, we will record a reduction or increase to net revenues in the period in which we make such a determination. Over the three year period ended December 31, 2007, our actual annual sales returns and miscellaneous claims from customers were less than two percent of net sales.

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts Receivable

We make ongoing estimates of the uncollectibility of our accounts receivable and maintain an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. In determining the amount of the allowance, we consider our historical level of credit losses and we make judgments about the creditworthiness of customers based on ongoing credit evaluations. We analyze specific customer accounts, customer concentrations, credit insurance coverage, current economic trends, and changes in customer payment terms. Tight credit market conditions may slow our collection efforts as customers experience increased difficulty in obtaining requisite financing, leading to higher than normal accounts receivable. Because we cannot predict future changes in the financial stability of our customers, actual future losses from uncollectible accounts may differ from our estimates and may have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. If the financial condition of our customers deteriorates and results in their inability to make payments, a larger allowance may be required. If we determine that a smaller or larger allowance is appropriate, we will record a credit or a charge to SG&A expense in the period in which we make such a determination.
