Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $12.3 million, compared to $14.5 million in the same period last year. Adjusted operating income increased 32.2% to $19.2 million. The increase in adjusted operating income reflects higher sales in both the Direct and Retail segments, as well as improved leverage of general and administrative costs across the higher sales volumes.

The Company has filed a breach of contract lawsuit against the licensee and intends to vigorously pursue all remedies for payment; (4) setup of a reserve related to a potentially uncollectible accounts receivable balance with a large sporting goods retailer (approximately $0.02 per share) impacting sales and marketing expense; and (5) the release of a valuation allowance related to foreign tax credits that favorably impacted GAAP EPS by approximately $0.06 for the fourth quarter and full year periods.
