1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Business—Zumiez Inc., including its wholly owned subsidiaries, (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “its” and “our”) is a leading specialty retailer of apparel, footwear, accessories and hardgoods for young men and women who want to express their individuality through the fashion, music, art and culture of action sports, streetwear, and other unique lifestyles.  At July 29, 2017, we operated 692 stores; 605 in the United States (“U.S.”), 51 in Canada, 30 in Europe, and 6 in Australia.  We operate under the names Zumiez, Blue Tomato, and Fast Times.  Additionally, we operate ecommerce websites at www.zumiez.com, www.blue-tomato.com, and www.fasttimes.com.au.

Fiscal Year—We use a fiscal calendar widely used by the retail industry that results in a fiscal year consisting of a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to January 31.  Each fiscal year consists of four 13-week quarters, with an extra week added to the fourth quarter every five or six years.  The three months ended July 29, 2017 and July 30, 2016 were 13-week periods. The six months ended July 29, 2017 and July 30, 2016 were 26-week periods.

Basis of Presentation—The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zumiez Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

In our opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The financial data at January 28, 2017 is derived from audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 28, 2017, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year due to seasonality and other factors.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  These estimates can also affect supplemental information disclosed by us, including information about contingencies, risk and financial condition.  Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Segment Reporting—We identify our operating segments according to how our business activities are managed and evaluated.  Our operating segments have been aggregated and are reported as one reportable segment based on the similar nature of products sold, production, merchandising and distribution processes involved, target customers and economic characteristics.

Recent Accounting Standards—In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) as part of its simplification initiative that includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments. Upon the adoption of the ASU, excess tax benefits and deficiencies for share-based payments are recorded as an adjustment of income taxes and reflected in operating cash flows rather than recorded in equity and reported in financing cash flows.  The guidance allows for the employer to withhold up to the maximum statutory tax rates in the applicable jurisdictions without triggering liability accounting.  The guidance also allows for a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur rather than on an estimated basis. We adopted this standard beginning January 29, 2017. The amendment related to accounting for excess tax benefits and deficiencies was adopted prospectively, resulting in recognition of excess tax deficiencies against income tax benefit rather than additional paid-in capital of $0.1 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended July 29, 2017.

In February 2016, the FASB issued a comprehensive standard related to lease accounting to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Most significantly, the new guidance requires lessees to recognize operating leases with a term of more than 12 months as lease assets and lease liabilities. The adoption will require a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The new standard is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are

continuing to evaluating the impact of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements.  We expect this standard to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued a new standard related primarily to accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities where the fair value option has been elected, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. There will no longer be an available-for-sale classification and therefore, no changes in fair value will be reported in other comprehensive income for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. The new standard will be effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard.  The new standard allows for a full retrospective approach to transition or a modified retrospective approach.  This guidance was effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016.  In August 2015, the FASB issued updated guidance deferring the effective date for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2017 and will permit early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of this standard but we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We are continuing to evaluate the method of adoption we will use when we transition to this standard.

2. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

The following tables summarize the estimated fair value of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and the gross unrealized holding gains and losses (in thousands):

All of our available-for-sale securities have an effective maturity date of two years or less and may be liquidated, at our discretion, prior to maturity.

The following tables summarize the gross unrealized holding losses and fair value for investments in an unrealized loss position, and the length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous loss position (in thousands):

We did not record a realized loss for other-than-temporary impairments during the three and six months ended July 29, 2017 or July 30, 2016.

3. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases—We lease our stores and certain corporate and other operating facilities under operating leases.  Total rent expense is as follows (in thousands):

A majority of our leases provide for ongoing co-tenancy requirements or early cancellation clauses that would further lower rental rates, or permit lease terminations, or both, in the event that co-tenants cease to operate for specific periods or if certain sales levels are not met in specific periods.  Most of the store leases require payment of a specified minimum rent and a contingent rent based on a percentage of the store’s net sales in excess of a specified threshold, as well as real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance charges and other executory costs.  Future minimum lease payments at July 29, 2017 are as follows (in thousands):

Purchase Commitments—At July 29, 2017, we had outstanding purchase orders to acquire merchandise from vendors of $190.7 million.  We have an option to cancel these commitments with no notice prior to shipment, except for certain private label and international purchase orders in which we are obligated to repay contractual amounts upon cancellation.

10

Litigation—We are involved from time to time in claims, proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business.  We have made accruals with respect to these matters, where appropriate, which are reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements.  For some matters, the amount of liability is not probable or the amount cannot be reasonably estimated and therefore accruals have not been made.  We may enter into discussions regarding settlement of these matters, and may enter into settlement agreements, if we believe settlement is in the best interest of our shareholders.

Insurance Reserves—We use a combination of third-party insurance and self-insurance for a number of risk management activities including workers’ compensation, general liability and employee-related health care benefits.  We maintain reserves for our self-insured losses, which are estimated based on historical claims experience and actuarial and other assumptions.  The self-insurance reserve at July 29, 2017 and January 28, 2017 was $2.7 million and $2.3 million.

4. Revolving Credit Facilities and Debt

On February 5, 2016, the Company entered into an asset-based revolving credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, collateral agent, letter of credit issuer and lenders, which provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $100 million (“ABL Facility”), subject to a borrowing base, with a letter of credit sub-limit of $10 million. The ABL Facility is available for working capital and other general corporate purposes.  The ABL Facility will mature on February 5, 2021.

The ABL Facility is secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the personal property (but not the real property) of the borrowers and guarantors.  Amounts borrowed under the ABL Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.75% per annum, or an alternate base rate plus a margin of 0.25% to 0.75% per annum. The Company is also required to pay a fee of 0.25% per annum on undrawn commitments under the ABL Facility. Customary agency fees and letter of credit fees are also payable in respect of the ABL Facility.

There were no borrowings outstanding under the ABL Facility at July 29, 2017 and at January 28, 2017. We had no open commercial letters of credit outstanding under these lines of credit at July 29, 2017 and at January 28, 2017.

Additionally, we have revolving lines of credit of up to 20.5 million Euro ($24.0 million at July 29, 2017), the proceeds of which are used to fund certain international operations.  The revolving lines of credit bear interest at 1.65%. There were no borrowings outstanding at July 29, 2017 and at January 28, 2017. We had no open commercial letters of credit outstanding under these lines of credit at July 29, 2017 and at January 28, 2017.

5. Fair Value Measurements

We apply the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

The following tables summarize assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):
