Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business & Basis of Presentation

We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended April 1, 2017 of Select Comfort Corporation and 100%-owned subsidiaries (Select Comfort or the Company), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and they reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Our historical and quarterly consolidated results of operations may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year or any future period.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our most recent audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and other recent filings with the SEC.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of sales, expenses and income taxes during the reporting period. Predicting future events is inherently an imprecise activity and, as such, requires the use of judgment. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in these estimates will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements in future periods. Our critical accounting policies consist of stock-based compensation, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, warranty liabilities and revenue recognition.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Select Comfort Corporation and our 100%-owned subsidiaries. All significant intra-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition

At April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had deferred revenue totaling $66.6 million and $61.3 million, of which $23.7 million and $21.0 million are included in other current liabilities, respectively, and $42.9 million and $40.3 million are included in other non-current liabilities, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheets. We also have related deferred costs totaling $37.0 million and $33.2 million, of which $13.3 million and $11.6 million are included in other current assets, respectively, and $23.7 million and $21.6 million are included in other non-current assets, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheets. The deferred revenue and costs are recognized over the product’s estimated life of four years.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance on the accounting for, and disclosure of, stock-based compensation which we adopted effective January 1, 2017. The new guidance is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements, including the income tax impact, forfeitures and classification on the statement of cash flows. Under the previous guidance, excess tax benefits and deficiencies were recognized in additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheets. Upon adoption of the new guidance, these excess tax benefits or deficiencies are required to be recognized as discrete adjustments to income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations on a prospective basis. During the three months ended April 1, 2017, excess tax benefits of $0.8 million were recognized as a reduction of income tax expense, rather than in additional paid-in capital.

In addition, under the new guidance, excess income tax benefits from stock-based compensation arrangements are classified as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity. This resulted in an increase to operating cash flows of $1.2 million for the three months ended April 1, 2017. We elected to apply the new cash flow classification guidance prospectively. The prior-year statement of cash flows has not been adjusted.

We have also elected to continue to estimate the number of stock-based awards expected to vest, as permitted by the new guidance, rather than electing to account for forfeitures as they occur.

Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This new guidance was originally effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption was not permitted. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date from fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years). Early adoption is permitted to the original effective date of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 (including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years). Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this new guidance. We are evaluating the effect of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, and have not yet selected a transition method.

In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on accounting for leases that generally requires most leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. This new guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The provisions of this new guidance are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach, with elective reliefs, which requires application of the new guidance for all periods presented. We are evaluating the effect of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2. Fair Value Measurements

At April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $2.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of debt and equity securities that fund our deferred compensation plan and are classified in other non-current assets. We also had corresponding deferred compensation plan liabilities of $2.6 million and $2.3 million at April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, which are included in other non-current liabilities. The majority of the debt and equity securities are Level 1 as they trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable us to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis. Unrealized gains/(losses) on the debt and equity securities offset those associated with the corresponding deferred compensation plan liabilities.

3. Inventories

Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):



	April 1, 2017		December 31, 2016
Raw materials	$	4,846	$	7,973
Work in progress	411		72
Finished goods	61,601		66,981
	$	66,858	$	75,026

4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill was $64.0 million at April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Indefinite-lived trade name/trademarks totaled $1.4 million at April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Definite-Lived Intangible Assets

The following table provides the gross carrying amount and related accumulated amortization of our definite-lived intangible assets (in thousands):



	April 1, 2017				December 31, 2016
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization
Developed technologies	$	18,851	$	5,070	$	18,851	$	4,524
Customer relationships	2,413		2,413		2,413		1,365
Trade names/trademarks	101		101		101		101
	$	21,365	$	7,584	$	21,365	$	5,990

Amortization expense for the three months ended April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016, was $1.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

5. Credit Agreement

In March 2017, we amended our revolving credit facility to increase our net aggregate availability from $150 million to $153.15 million. As of April 1, 2017, availability under our credit facility was $150 million, with a $3.15 million letter of credit outstanding, and we were in compliance with all financial covenants. We maintained the accordion feature which allows us to increase the amount of the credit facility from $153.15 million to $200 million, subject to lenders' approval. There were no other changes to the credit agreement's terms and conditions.

The credit facility is for general corporate purposes and is utilized to meet our seasonal working capital requirements. The credit facility matures in February 2021. The credit agreement provides the lenders with a collateral security interest in substantially all of our assets and those of our subsidiaries and requires us to comply with, among other things, a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. Under the terms of the credit agreement we pay a variable rate of interest and a commitment fee based on our leverage ratio.

6. Repurchase of Common Stock

Repurchases of our common stock were as follows (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended
	April 1, 2017		April 2, 2016
Amount repurchased under Board-approved share repurchase program	$	50,000	$	50,000
Amount repurchased in connection with the vesting of employee restricted stock grants	4,794		1,240
Total amount repurchased	$	54,794	$	51,240

As of April 1, 2017, the remaining authorization under our Board-approved share repurchase program was $195 million. There is no expiration date governing the period over which we can repurchase shares. Any repurchased shares are constructively retired and returned to an unissued status. The cost of stock repurchases is first charged to additional paid-in capital. Once additional paid-in capital is reduced to zero, any additional amounts are charged to retained earnings.

In addition to the income tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expense in the table above, excess tax benefits of $0.8 million were recognized as a reduction of income tax expense during the three months ended April 1, 2017. No amounts related to excess tax benefits were recognized in income tax expense during the three months ended April 2, 2016. See Note 1, New Accounting Pronouncements, for additional discussion of new guidance on the accounting for, and disclosure of, stock-based compensation which we adopted effective January 1, 2017.

8. Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan

Under our profit sharing and 401(k) plan, eligible employees may defer up to 50% of their compensation on a pre-tax basis, subject to Internal Revenue Service limitations. Each calendar quarter, we may make a discretionary contribution equal to a percentage of the employee’s contribution. During the three months ended April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016, our contributions, net of forfeitures, were $1.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

Legal Proceedings

We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, including primarily commercial, product liability, employment and intellectual property claims. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements with respect to any of these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. With respect to currently pending legal proceedings, we have not established an estimated range of reasonably possible additional losses either because we believe that we have valid defenses to claims asserted against us or the proceeding has not advanced to a stage of discovery that would enable us to establish an estimate. We currently do not expect the outcome of these matters to have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Litigation, however, is inherently unpredictable, and it is possible that the ultimate outcome of one or more claims asserted against us could adversely impact our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We expense legal costs as incurred.

On January 12, 2015, Plaintiffs David and Katina Spade commenced a purported class action lawsuit in New Jersey state court against Select Comfort alleging that Select Comfort violated New Jersey consumer statutes by failing to provide to purchasing consumers certain disclosures required by the New Jersey Furniture Regulations. It is undisputed that plaintiffs suffered no actual damages or in any way relied upon or were impacted by the alleged omissions. Nonetheless, on behalf of a purported class of New Jersey purchasers of Select Comfort beds and bases, plaintiffs seek to recover a $100 statutory fine for each alleged omission, along with attorneys’ fees and costs. Select Comfort removed the case to the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, which subsequently granted Select Comfort’s motion to dismiss. Plaintiffs appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, which has certified two questions of law to the New Jersey Supreme Court relating to whether plaintiffs who have suffered no actual injury may bring claims. The New Jersey Supreme Court has accepted the certified questions and the parties are in the process of preparing and submitting briefs. As the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey agreed, we believe that the case is without merit and the order of dismissal should be affirmed.

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to provide a reader of our consolidated financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect our future results. Our MD&A is presented in seven sections:


•	Risk Factors


•	Overview


•	Results of Operations


•	Liquidity and Capital Resources


•	Non-GAAP Data


•	Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations


•	Critical Accounting Policies

Risk Factors

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included herein. This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements that relate to future plans, events, financial results or performance. You can identify forward-looking statements by those that are not historical in nature, particularly those that use terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “predict,” “intend,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these or similar terms. These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections.

These risks and uncertainties include, among others:


•	Current and future general and industry economic trends and consumer confidence;


•	The effectiveness of our marketing messages;


•	The efficiency of our advertising and promotional efforts;


•	Our ability to execute our Company-Controlled distribution strategy;


•	Our ability to achieve and maintain acceptable levels of product and service quality, and acceptable product return and warranty claims rates;


•	Our ability to continue to improve and expand our product line, and consumer acceptance of our products, product quality, innovation and brand image;


•	Industry competition, the emergence of additional competitive products and the adequacy of our intellectual property rights to protect our products and brand from competitive or infringing activities;


•	The potential for claims that our products, processes or trademarks infringe the intellectual property rights of others;


•	Availability of attractive and cost-effective consumer credit options;


•	Our “just-in-time” manufacturing processes with minimal levels of inventory, which may leave us vulnerable to shortages in supply;

Results of Operations

Quarterly and Year-to-Date Results

Quarterly and year-to-date operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, including increases or decreases in sales, the timing, amount and effectiveness of advertising expenditures, changes in sales return rates or warranty experience, timing of investments in growth initiatives and infrastructure, timing of store openings/closings and related expenses, changes in net sales resulting from changes in our store base, the timing of new product introductions, the timing of promotional offerings, competitive factors, changes in commodity costs, any disruptions in supplies or third-party service providers, seasonality of retail and bedding industry sales, consumer confidence and general economic conditions. Therefore, our historical results of operations may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for any future period.

Highlights

Financial highlights for the period ended April 1, 2017 were as follows:


•	Net sales for the three months ended April 1, 2017 increased 12% to $394 million, compared with $353 million for the same period one year ago. The 12% sales increase resulted from a 3% comparable sales increase in our Company-Controlled channel and 10 percentage points (ppt.) of growth from sales generated by 49 net new stores opened in the past 12 months.


•	The prior-year period's (ended April 2, 2016) net sales, gross profit rate, operating income, net income and earnings per share were negatively impacted by our ERP implementation. We completed the implementation by the end of the first quarter of 2016 and our new operating platform is enabling operating efficiencies, improved customer convenience and scalability.


•	Sales per store (for stores open at least one year), on a trailing twelve-month basis for the period ended April 1, 2017 were $2.4 million, consistent with the prior-year comparable period.


•	Operating income for the quarter totaled $36 million, or 9.1% of net sales, compared with $20 million, or 5.6% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The increase in operating income was attributable to the 12% increase in net sales and a 3.4 ppt. improvement in our gross profit rate.


•	Net income for the quarter was $24 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, compared with net income of $13 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the same period one year ago.


•	Cash provided by operating activities totaled $87 million for the three months ended April 1, 2017, compared with $64 million for the same period one year ago. Investing activities for the current-year period included $13 million of property and equipment purchases, compared with $12 million for the same period last year.


•	At April 1, 2017, cash and cash equivalents totaled $36 million and we had $150 million of borrowing capacity available under our credit facility.


•	In the first quarter of 2017, we repurchased 2.2 million shares of our common stock under our Board-approved share repurchase program at a cost of $50 million (an average of $22.49 per share). As of April 1, 2017, the remaining authorization was $195 million.

Comparison of Three Months Ended April 1, 2017 with Three Months Ended April 2, 2016

Net sales

Net sales increased 12% to $394 million for the three months ended April 1, 2017, compared with $353 million for the same period one year ago. The sales increase resulted from a 3% comparable sales increase in our Company-Controlled channel and 10 percentage points (ppt.) of growth from sales generated by 49 net new stores opened in the past 12 months. Our ERP implementation negatively impacted net sales in the comparable period one year ago. We completed the implementation by the end of the first quarter of 2016 and our new operating platform is enabling operating efficiencies, improved customer convenience and scalability.

The $41 million net sales increase compared with the same period one year ago was comprised of the following: (i) a $33 million increase resulting from net store openings; and (ii) a $10 million increase in sales from our Company-Controlled comparable sales; partially offset by (iii) a $2 million decrease in Wholesale/Other channel sales. Company-Controlled mattress unit sales increased 10%. Average revenue per mattress unit in our Company-Controlled channel increased by 2% to $4,053.

Gross profit

Gross profit of $246 million increased by $37 million compared with the same period one year ago. The gross profit rate increased to 62.6% of net sales for the three months ended April 1, 2017, compared with 59.2% for prior-year comparable period. The prior-year gross profit rate was negatively impacted by actions taken to manage operating issues associated with our ERP implementation. The current-year gross profit rate improvement of 3.4 ppt. was primarily due to manufacturing and supply chain efficiencies, and lower sales return and exchange costs compared with the same period one year ago. In addition, our gross profit rate can fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to a variety of other factors, including warranty expenses, product mix changes and performance-based incentive compensation.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended April 1, 2017 increased to $169 million, or 43.0% of net sales, compared with $151 million, or 42.7% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The 0.3 ppt. increase in the sales and marketing expense rate was mainly due to: (i) a year-over-year increase in our sales professionals' incentive compensation resulting from the strong increase in net sales; partially offset by (ii) 0.5 ppt. of leverage from media spending, which increased by 7% compared with the prior year, while net sales increased by 12%.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative (G&A) expenses totaled $34 million for the three months ended April 1, 2017, compared with $31 million in the prior year period, but decreased to 8.6% of net sales, compared with 8.8% of net sales last year. The $2.9 million increase in G&A expenses consisted of the following major components: (i) a $1.9 million increase in employee compensation, including a year-over-year increase in company-wide performance-based incentive compensation, and salary and wage rate increases that were in line with inflation; and (ii) $1.6 million of additional depreciation and amortization expense, including incremental depreciation expense from capital expenditures that support the growth of our business; partially offset by (iii) a $0.6 million decrease in miscellaneous other expenses. The G&A expense rate decreased by 0.2 ppt. in the current year period compared with the same period one year ago due to the leveraging impact from the 12% net sales increase.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was $11 million for the three months ended April 1, 2017, compared with $7 million for the same period one year ago. The effective tax rate for the three months ended April 1, 2017 was 31.5% compared with 34.5% for the prior-year period. The lower effective tax rate for the current-year period primarily resulted from the inclusion of stock-based compensation excess tax benefits in accordance with new Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidance effective for us beginning in 2017. Under previous FASB guidance, excess tax benefits or deficiencies were recognized in additional paid-in capital in our consolidated balance sheet. See Note 1, New Accounting Pronouncements, to the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Managing our liquidity and capital resources is an important part of our commitment to deliver superior shareholder value. Our business model, which can operate with minimal working capital, does not require additional capital from external sources to fund operations or organic growth. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows provided by operating activities and cash available under our $153 million revolving credit facility. The cash generated from ongoing operations, and cash available under our revolving credit facility are expected to be adequate to maintain operations and fund anticipated expansion and strategic initiatives for the foreseeable future.

As of April 1, 2017, cash and cash equivalents totaled $36 million compared with $12 million as of December 31, 2016. The $25 million increase was primarily due to $87 million of cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by $13 million of cash used to purchase property and equipment and $55 million of cash used to repurchase our common stock ($50 million under our Board-approved share repurchase program and $4.8 million in connection with the vesting of employee restricted stock grants).

The following table summarizes our cash flows (dollars in millions). Amounts may not add due to rounding differences:



	Three Months Ended
	April 1, 2017			April 2, 2016
Total cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	86.9		$	64.0
Investing activities	(10.1		)	2.8
Financing activities	(52.0		)	(58.3		)
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	24.8		$	8.5

Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended April 1, 2017 was $87 million compared with $64 million for the three months ended April 2, 2016. Significant components of the year-over-year change in cash provided by operating activities included: (i) an $11 million increase in net income for the three months ended April 1, 2017, compared with the same period one year ago; (ii) an $11 million fluctuation in income taxes based on a $15 million income taxes receivable at the end of 2015 compared with an $11 million income taxes liability at the end of 2016; and (iii) the ERP implementation issues we experienced in our plants and supply chain during the fourth quarter of 2015 that resulted in increased accounts receivables, higher customer prepayments and lower other taxes and withholding at the end of 2015.

Net cash used in investing activities was $10 million for the three months ended April 1, 2017, compared with $3 million of net cash provided by investing activities for the same period one year ago. Investing activities for the current-year period included $13 million of property and equipment purchases, compared with $12 million for the same period last year. We decreased our investments in marketable debt securities by $15 million during the three months ended April 2, 2016. We did not hold any investments in marketable debt securities as of December 31, 2016 or April 1, 2017.

Net cash used in financing activities was $52 million for the three months ended April 1, 2017, compared with $58 million for the same period one year ago. During the three months ended April 1, 2017, we repurchased $55 million of our stock ($50 million under our Board-approved share repurchase program and $4.8 million in connection with the vesting of employee restricted stock awards) compared with $51 million ($50 million under our Board-approved share repurchase program and $1.2 million in connection with the vesting of employee restricted stock awards) during the same period one year ago. Changes in book overdrafts are included in the net change in short-term borrowings.

Under our Board-approved share repurchase program, we repurchased 2.2 million shares at a cost of $50 million (an average of $22.49 per share) during the three months ended April 1, 2017. During the three months ended April 2, 2016, we repurchased 2.6 million shares at a cost of $50 million (an average of $18.96 per share). At April 1, 2017, the remaining authorization under our Board-approved share repurchase program was $195 million. There is no expiration date governing the period over which we can repurchase shares.

In March 2017, we amended our revolving credit facility to increase our net aggregate availability from $150 million to $153.15 million. As of April 1, 2017, availability under our credit facility was $150 million, with a $3.15 million letter of credit outstanding. The credit facility is for general corporate purposes. The credit facility contains an accordion feature that allows us to increase the amount of available credit from $153 million up to $200 million, subject to lenders' approval. The credit facility matures in February 2021.

Index

The credit agreement provides the lenders with a collateral security interest in substantially all of our assets and those of our subsidiaries and requires us to comply with, among other things, a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. Under the terms of the credit agreement we pay a variable rate of interest and a commitment fee based on our leverage ratio. As of April 1, 2017, we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

We have an agreement with Synchrony Bank to offer qualified customers revolving credit arrangements to finance purchases from us (Synchrony Agreement). The Synchrony Agreement contains certain financial covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. As of April 1, 2017, we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

Under the terms of the Synchrony Agreement, Synchrony Bank sets the minimum acceptable credit ratings, the interest rates, fees and all other terms and conditions of the customer accounts, including collection policies and procedures, and is the owner of the accounts.

Non-GAAP Data

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA)

We define earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) as net income plus: income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and asset impairments. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful indicator of our financial performance and our ability to generate cash from operating activities. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled definitions used by other companies. The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to the comparable GAAP financial measure.

Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)

(dollars in thousands)

ROIC is a financial measure we use to determine how efficiently we deploy our capital. It quantifies the return we earn on our invested capital. Management believes ROIC is also a useful metric for investors and financial analysts. We compute ROIC as outlined below. Our definition and calculation of ROIC may not be comparable to similarly titled definitions and calculations used by other companies. The tables below reconcile net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) and total invested capital, which are non-GAAP financial measures, to the comparable GAAP financial measures:

___________________

⁽¹⁾ Rent expense is added back to operating income to show the impact of owning versus leasing the related assets.

⁽²⁾ Depreciation is based on the average of the last five fiscal quarters' ending capitalized operating lease obligations (see note 6) for the respective reporting periods with an assumed thirty-year useful life. This is subtracted from operating income to illustrate the impact of owning versus leasing the related assets.

⁽³⁾ Reflects annual effective income tax rates, before discrete adjustments, of 33.3% and 32.5% for 2017 and 2016, respectively.

⁽⁴⁾ Cash greater than target is defined as cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities less customer prepayments in excess of $100 million.

⁽⁵⁾ Long-term debt includes existing capital lease obligations, if applicable.

⁽⁶⁾ A multiple of eight times annual rent expense is used as an estimate for capitalizing our operating lease obligations. The methodology utilized aligns with the methodology of a nationally recognized credit rating agency.

⁽⁷⁾ Average invested capital represents the average of the last five fiscal quarters' ending invested capital balances.

⁽⁸⁾ ROIC equals NOPAT divided by average invested capital.

Note - Our ROIC calculation and data are considered non-GAAP financial measures and are not in accordance with, or preferable to, GAAP financial data. However, we are providing this information as we believe it facilitates analysis of the Company's financial performance by investors and financial analysts.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

As of April 1, 2017, we were not involved in any unconsolidated special purpose entity transactions. Other than our operating leases and a $3.15 million outstanding letter of credit, we do not have any off-balance-sheet financing.

There has been no material changes in our contractual obligations, other than in the ordinary course of business, since the end of fiscal 2016. See Note 5, Credit Agreement, of the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding our credit agreement.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Changes in the overall level of interest rates affect interest income generated from our cash and cash equivalents. If overall interest rates were one percentage point lower than current rates, our annual interest income would not change by a significant amount based on our cash and cash equivalents as of April 1, 2017, and the current low interest-rate environment. We do not manage our investment interest-rate volatility risk through the use of derivative instruments.

As of April 1, 2017, we had no borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended April 1, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business, financial condition and operating results are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including both those that are specific to our business and others that affect all businesses operating in a global environment. Investors should carefully consider the information in this report under the heading, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and also the information under the heading, “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The risk factors discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q do not identify all risks that we face because our business operations could also be affected by additional risk factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations.
