COLUMBIA SPORTSWEAR COMPANY | 2021 FORM 10-K | 34 Deloitte & Touche LLP U.S. Bancorp Tower 111 Southwest Fifth Avenue Suite 3900 Portland, OR 97204-3642 USA Tel:+1 503 222 1341 Fax: +1 503 224 2172 www.deloitte.com Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Columbia Sportswear Company Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Columbia Sportswear Company and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, the related notes, and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 24, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. COLUMBIA SPORTSWEAR COMPANY | 2021 FORM 10-K | 35 Intangible Assets, Net – prAna Trademark– Refer to Notes 2 and 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements Critical Audit Matter Description The Company has intangible assets, including trademarks and trade names (“trademarks”). As of December 31, 2021, the carrying value of the intangible assets was $101.9 million, of which $70.5 million was attributed to prAna’s trademark. The Company used the relief from royalty method to estimate fair value, which requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to projected revenues. Auditing management’s estimates and assumptions related to projected revenues for prAna involved especially subjective judgement. How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures related to management’s estimates and assumptions related to projected revenues for the prAna trademark valuation included the following, among others: • We tested the effectiveness of controls over intangible assets, including those over the forecasts of future revenues. • We evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast future revenues by comparing actual results to management’s historical forecasts. • We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s revenues forecasts by comparing the forecasts to: ◦ Historical revenues. ◦ Forecasted information included in Company press releases as well as in analyst and industry reports for the Company and certain of its peer companies. • We evaluated the inputs used in the forecast and the basis for the assumptions made by management. • We evaluated the impact of changes in management’s forecasts from the October 31, 2021 annual measurement date to December 31, 2021. Long-lived Asset Valuation – Refer to Notes 2, 5 and 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements Critical Audit Matter Description The Company evaluates retail location long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances exist that may indicate that the carrying amounts of retail location long-lived assets are no longer recoverable. Events that result in an impairment review include plans to close a retail location or a significant decrease in the operating results of the retail location. When such an indicator occurs, the Company evaluates its retail location long-lived assets for impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flow expected to be generated by the location to the location long-lived asset’s carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flow, an analysis is performed to estimate the fair value of the asset. An impairment is recorded if the fair value of the retail location long-lived asset is less than the carrying amount. The Company makes significant assumptions to evaluate retail location long-lived assets for possible indications of impairment. Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the retail location long-lived assets identified for further analysis. For the year ended December 31, 2021, impairment charges from underperforming retail location long-lived assets were immaterial. Given the Company’s evaluation of possible indications of impairment of retail location long-lived assets requires management to make significant assumptions, performing audit procedures to evaluate whether management appropriately identified events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amounts of retail location long-lived assets may not be recoverable involved especially subjective judgment. How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures related to the evaluation of retail location long-lived assets for possible indications of impairment included the following, among others: COLUMBIA SPORTSWEAR COMPANY | 2021 FORM 10-K | 36 • We tested the effectiveness of the controls over management's identification of possible circumstances that may indicate that the carrying amounts of retail location long-lived assets are no longer recoverable. • We evaluated management's impairment analysis by: ◦ Testing retail location long-lived assets for possible indications of impairment, including searching for locations with a history of losses, current period loss, or projected losses. ◦ Performing inquiries of management regarding the process and assumptions used to identify potential indicators of impairment and evaluating the consistency of the assumptions with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Portland, Oregon February 24, 2022 We have served as the Company’s auditor since at least 1994; however, an earlier year could not be reliably determined.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, of the Company and our report dated February 24, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Portland, Oregon February 24, 2022 COLUMBIA SPORTSWEAR COMPANY | 2021 FORM 10-K | 38 Table of Contents I ndex to Notes to Consolidated Financial State ments CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS December 31, (in thousands) 2021 2020 ASSETS Current Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 763,404 $ 790,725 Short-term investments 131,145 1,224 Accounts receivable, net of allowance of 8,893 and 21,810 , respectively 487,803 452,945 Inventories, net 645,379 556,530 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 86,306 54,197 Total current assets 2,114,037 1,855,621 Property, plant and equipment, net 291,088 309,792 Operating lease right-of-use assets 330,928 339,244 Intangible assets, net 101,908 103,558 Goodwill 68,594 68,594 Deferred income taxes 92,121 96,126 Other non-current assets 68,452 63,636 Total assets $ 3,067,128 $ 2,836,571 LIABILITIES AND EQUITY Current Liabilities: Accounts payable $ 283,349 $ 206,697 Accrued liabilities 316,485 257,278 Operating lease liabilities 67,429 65,466 Income taxes payable 13,127 23,181 Total current liabilities 680,390 552,622 Non-current operating lease liabilities 317,666 353,181 Income taxes payable 44,541 49,922 Deferred income taxes — 5,205 Other long-term liabilities 35,279 42,870 Total liabilities 1,077,876 1,003,800 Commitments and contingencies (Note 12) Shareholders' Equity: Preferred stock; 10,000 shares authorized; none issued and outstanding — — Common stock (no par value); 250,000 shares authorized; 65,164 and 66,252 issued and outstanding, respectively — 20,165 Retained earnings 1,993,628 1,811,800 Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ( 4,376 ) 806 Total shareholders' equity 1,989,252 1,832,771 Total liabilities and shareholders' equity $ 3,067,128 $ 2,836,571 See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Columbia Sportswear Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and entities in which it maintained a controlling financial interest (the "Company"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. The Company's significant estimates relate to sales reserves; allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable; obsolescence reserves for excess; close-out and slow-moving inventory; impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill; and income taxes. RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Effective January 1, 2021, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in December 2019, which, among other things, removes specific exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intraperiod allocation and calculating income taxes in interim periods, as well as targeted impacts to the accounting for taxes under hybrid tax regimes. At adoption there was not a material impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value or at cost, which approximates fair value, and include investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of acquisition. At December 31, 2021, Cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash and money market funds. At December 31, 2020, Cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash, money market funds, and United States government treasury bills. INVESTMENTS At December 31, 2021, Short-term investments consisted of United States government treasury bills as well as money market funds and mutual fund shares held as part of the Company's deferred compensation plan expected to be distributed in the next twelve months. At December 31, 2020 , Short-term investments consisted of money market funds and mutual fund shares held as part of the Company's deferred compensation plan expected to be distributed in the next twelve months. Investments held as part of the Company's deferred compensation plan are classified as trading securities and are recorded at fair value with any unrealized gains and losses included in SG&A expense . Realized gains or losses from these trading securities are determined based on the specific identification method and are included in SG&A expense . At December 31, 2021 and 2020 , long-term investments included in Other non-current assets consisted of money market funds and mutual fund shares held to offset liabilities to participants in the Company's deferred compensation plan. The investments are classified as long-term COLUMBIA SPORTSWEAR COMPANY | 2021 FORM 10-K | 45 Table of Contents I ndex to Notes to Consolidated Financial State ments because the related deferred compensation liabilities are not expected to be paid within the next year. These investments are classified as trading securities and are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of operating income. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable have been reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains the allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company's customers to make required payments. The allowance represents the current estimate of lifetime expected credit losses over the remaining duration of existing accounts receivable considering current market conditions and supportable forecasts when appropriate. The estimate is a result of the Company’s ongoing evaluation of collectability, customer creditworthiness, historical levels of credit losses, and future expectations. Write-offs of accounts receivable were $ 0.2 million and $ 8.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 , respectively. INVENTORIES Inventories consist primarily of finished goods and are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company periodically reviews its inventories for excess, close-out or slow-moving items and makes provisions as necessary to properly reflect inventory value. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation 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; furniture and fixtures, 3 - 10 years; and machinery, software and equipment, 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. Improvements to property, plant and equipment that substantially extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Internal and external costs directly related to the development of internal-use software during the application development stage, including costs incurred for third party contractors and employee compensation, are capitalized and depreciated over a 3 - 10 year estimated useful life. INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL Intangible assets with indefinite lives and goodwill are not amortized but are periodically evaluated for impairment. Intangible assets that are determined to have finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives and are measured for impairment only when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired. Intangible assets with finite lives include patents, purchased technology and customer relationships and have estimated useful lives which range from approximately 3 to 10 years. CLOUD COMPUTING ARRANGEMENTS The Company’s cloud computing arrangements ("CCAs") primarily relate to various enterprise resource planning systems, as well as other supporting systems. These assets are generally included in Other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized on a straight-line basis over their assessed useful lives or the term of the underlying cloud computing hosting contract, whichever is shorter. As of December 31, 2021, CCAs in-service have useful lives which range from approximately ten months to five years. At December 31, 2021, and 2020 CCA assets consisted of capitalized implementation costs of $ 26.6 million and $ 24.3 million, respectively and associated accumulated amortization of $ 6.8 million and $ 1.9 million, respectively. Changes in these assets are recorded in Other assets within operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. LEASES The Company leases, among other things, retail space, office space, warehouse facilities, storage space, vehicles, and equipment. Generally, the base lease terms are between 5 and 10 years. Certain lease agreements contain scheduled rent escalation clauses and others include rental payments adjusted periodically depending on an index or rate. Certain retail space lease agreements provide for additional rents based on a percentage of annual sales in excess of stipulated minimums ("percentage rent"). Certain lease agreements require the Company to pay real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, and other costs, collectively referred to as operating costs, in addition to base rent. COLUMBIA SPORTSWEAR COMPANY | 2021 FORM 10-K | 46 Table of Contents I ndex to Notes to Consolidated Financial State ments Certain lease agreements also contain lease incentives, such as tenant improvement allowances and rent holidays. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 10 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at the Company's sole discretion. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception. The Company recognizes a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date. Key estimates and judgments include how the Company determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the unpaid lease payments to present value, (2) the lease term and (3) lease payments. Unpaid lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease because it does not have access to the lessor's estimated residual value or the amount of the lessor's deferred initial direct costs. Therefore, the Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for the lease. The Company's incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest it would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms. Because the Company does not generally borrow on a collateralized basis, it uses market-based rates as an input to derive an appropriate incremental borrowing rate, adjusted for the lease term and the effect on that rate of designating specific collateral with a value equal to the unpaid lease payments for that lease. The Company also contemplates adjusting the discount rate for the amount of the lease payments. The Company's lease contracts may include options to extend the lease following the initial term or terminate the lease prior to the end of the initial term. In most instances, at the commencement of the leases, the Company has determined that it is not reasonably certain to exercise either of these options; accordingly, these options are generally not considered in determining the initial lease term. At the renewal of an expiring lease, the Company reassesses options in the contract that it is reasonably certain to exercise in its measurement of lease term. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842, the Company has elected the practical expedient to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Therefore, for those leases, the lease payments used to measure the lease liability include all of the fixed consideration in the contract. Variable lease payments associated with the Company's leases are recognized upon occurrence of the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed. Variable lease payments are presented in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same line item as expense arising from fixed lease payments. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Concessions In April 2020, the FASB issued a Staff Q&A, Topic 842 and 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The FASB staff indicated that it would be acceptable for entities to make an election to account for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic consistent with how they would be accounted for as though enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed in the original contract. The Company elected to account for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in accordance with the Staff Q&A. For concessions that provide a deferral of payments with no substantive changes to the consideration in the original contract, the Company continues to recognize expense during the deferral period. For concessions in the form of lease abatements, the reduced lease payments are accounted for as reductions to variable lease expense. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS, INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment, lease ROU assets, capitalized implementation costs for cloud computing arrangements, and intangible assets with finite lives, are measured for impairment only when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired. In these cases, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows to be derived from the asset or asset group to determine whether a potential impairment exists. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, the Company recognizes an impairment loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. The Company reviews and tests its intangible assets with indefinite lives and goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may be impaired. The Company's intangible COLUMBIA SPORTSWEAR COMPANY | 2021 FORM 10-K | 47 Table of Contents I ndex to Notes to Consolidated Financial State ments assets with indefinite lives consist of trademarks and trade names. In the impairment test for goodwill, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is compared with the carrying amount of that reporting unit. In the impairment tests for trademarks and trade names, the Company compares the estimated fair value of each asset to its carrying amount. For goodwill and trademarks and trade names, if the carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value, the Company calculates an impairment as the excess of carrying amount over the estimate of fair value. Impairment charges, if any, are classified as a component of SG&A expense . INCOME TAXES Income taxes are based on amounts of taxes payable or refundable in the current year and on expected future tax consequences of events that are recognized in the financial statements in different periods than they are recognized in tax returns. As a result of timing of recognition and measurement differences between financial accounting standards and income tax laws, temporary differences arise between amounts of pre-tax financial statement income and taxable income and between reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect estimated future tax effects attributable to these temporary differences and to net operating loss and net capital loss carryforwards, based on tax rates expected to be in effect for years in which the differences are expected to be settled or realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on future taxable income in specific jurisdictions. Valuation allowances are used to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts considered likely to be realized. Accrued income taxes in the Consolidated Balance Sheets include unrecognized income tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions, including related interest and penalties, appropriately classified as current or non-current. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the relevant taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. In making this determination, the Company assumes that the taxing authority will examine the position and that it will have full knowledge of all relevant information. Changes in the Company's assessment may result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision in the period our assessment changes. DERIVATIVES The effective portion of changes in fair values of outstanding cash flow hedges is recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) until earnings are affected by the hedged transaction, and any ineffective portion is included in current income. In most cases, amounts recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) will be released to earnings after maturity of the related derivative. The Consolidated Statements of Operations classification of effective hedge results is the same as that of the underlying exposure. Results of hedges of product costs are recorded in Cost of sales when the underlying hedged transactions affect earnings. Results of hedges of revenue are recorded in Net sales when the underlying hedged transactions affect earnings. Unrealized derivative gains and losses, which are recorded in assets and liabilities, respectively, are non-cash items and therefore are taken into account in the preparation of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows based on their respective balance sheet classifications. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION For the Company's subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the United States dollar, assets and liabilities have been translated into United States dollars using the exchange rates in effect at period end, and the sales and expenses have been translated into United States dollars using average exchange rates in effect during the period. The foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a separate component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenues are recognized when the Company's performance obligations are satisfied as evidenced by transfer of control of promised goods to customers or consumers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Within the Company's wholesale channel, control generally transfers to the customer upon shipment to, or upon receipt by, the customer depending on the terms of sale with the customer. Within the Company's direct-to-consumer ("DTC") channel, control generally transfers to the consumer at the time of sale within retail stores and concession-based arrangements and generally upon shipment to the consumer with respect to e-commerce transactions. COLUMBIA SPORTSWEAR COMPANY | 2021 FORM 10-K | 48 Table of Contents I ndex to Notes to Consolidated Financial State ments The amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive and recognize as Net sales across both wholesale and DTC channels varies with changes in sales returns and other accommodations and incentives offered. The Company estimates expected sales returns and other accommodations, such as chargebacks and markdowns and records a sales reserve to reduce Net sales. These estimates are based on historical rates of product returns and claims, as well as events and circumstances that indicate changes to such historical rates. However, actual returns and claims in any future period are inherently uncertain and thus may differ from the estimates. As a result, the Company adjusts estimates of revenue at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration the Company expects to receive changes or when the amount of consideration becomes fixed. If actual or expected future returns and claims are significantly greater or lower than the sales reserves established, the Company records an adjustment to Net sales in the period in which it made such determination. Licensing income, which is presented separately as Net licensing income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and represents less than 1 % of total revenue, is recognized over time based on the greater of contractual minimum royalty guarantees and actual, or estimated, sales of licensed products by the Company's licensees. The Company expenses sales commissions when incurred, which is generally at the time of sale, because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within SG&A expenses . Revenue recognized from contracts with customers is recorded net of sales taxes, value added taxes, or similar taxes that are collected on behalf of local taxing authorities. Shipping and Handling Costs The Company treats shipping and handling activities as fulfillment costs, and as such recognize the costs for these activities at the time related revenue is recognized. The majority of these costs, typically associated with warehousing and handling of inventory, are generally recorded as SG&A expenses , while the direct costs associated with shipping goods to customers and consumers are recorded as Costs of sales . Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recorded as Net sales . Shipping and handling costs recorded as a component of SG&A expenses and were $ 114.4 million , $ 98.0 million and $ 89.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. COST OF SALES Cost of sales consists of all direct product costs, including shipping, duties and importation costs, as well as specific provisions for excess, close-out or slow-moving inventory. In addition, certain products carry life-time or limited warranty provisions for defects in quality and workmanship. Cost of sales includes a warranty reserve established for these provisions at the time of sale to cover estimated costs based on the Company's history of warranty repairs and replacements. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES SG&A expenses consists of personnel-related costs, advertising, depreciation and amortization, occupancy, and other selling and general operating expenses related to the Company's business functions. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the award's fair value and is recorded as expense when recognized. For stock options and service-based restricted units, stock-based compensation cost is recognized over the expected requisite service period using the straight-line attribution method. For performance-based restricted stock units, stock-based compensation cost is recognized based on the Company's assessment of the probability of achieving performance targets in the reporting period. The Company estimates forfeitures for stock-based awards granted, but which are not expected to vest. ADVERTISING COSTS Advertising costs, including marketing and demand creation spending, are expensed in the period incurred and are included in SG&A expenses . Total advertising expense, including cooperative advertising costs, was $ 184.8 million, $ 141.3 million and $ 166.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Cooperative advertising costs are expensed when the related revenues are recognized and included in SG&A expenses .

As a result, 2020 amounts in the table above have been revised from balances previously reported. The Company has assessed the qualitative and quantitative impact of the misstatement and determined it is not material to the 2020 financial statements. Further, the Company had previously recorded Sales reserves within Capitalized inventory costs, rather than presenting them separately and has reclassified such amounts to conform to the current year presentation. The Company has foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $ 87.5 million as of December 31, 2021, of which $ 68.4 million have an unlimited carryforward period and $ 19.1 million expire between 2025 and 2040. The net operating losses result in deferred tax assets of $ 22.8 million and $ 24.3 million and were subject to a valuation allowance of $ 20.2 million and $ 21.2 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. At December 31, 2021, the Company had accumulated undistributed earnings generated by the Company's foreign subsidiaries of $333.9 million. As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, these earnings have been subject to U.S. tax, so any further taxes associated with such earnings would generally be limited to foreign withholding and state taxes. The Company has recorded a deferred tax liability for these, except in the jurisdictions where we intend to indefinitely reinvest the earnings. UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS The Company conducts business globally, and, as a result, the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Canada, China, France, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland, and the United States. The Company has effectively settled Canadian tax examinations of all years through 2012, United States tax examinations of all years through 2016, Japanese tax examinations of all years through 2019, France tax examinations of all years through 2016, Swiss tax examinations of all years through 2016, Italy tax examinations of all years through 2016, and China tax examinations of all years through 2018. The Korean National Tax Service concluded an audit of the Company's 2009 through 2013 corporate income tax returns in 2014, and an audit of the Company's 2014 corporate income tax return in 2016. Due to the nature of the findings in both of these audits, the Company has invoked the Mutual Agreement Procedures outlined in the United States-Korean income tax treaty. The Company does not anticipate that adjustments relative to these findings, or any other ongoing tax audits, will result in material changes to its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. As of December 31, 2021, the Company was under audit in the United States for tax years 2017 and 2018, Canada for tax years 2017 and 2018, and Korea for tax years 2016 through 2020. Other than the findings and audits previously noted, the Company is not currently under examination in any other major jurisdiction. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: Year Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2021 2020 2019 Balance at beginning of year $ 14,493 $ 12,478 $ 11,064 Increases related to prior year tax positions 355 1,903 4,374 Decreases related to prior year tax positions ( 1,447 ) ( 162 ) ( 5,423 ) Increases related to current year tax positions 883 906 4,991 Settlements — — ( 1,464 ) Expiration of statute of limitations ( 429 ) ( 632 ) ( 1,064 ) Balance at end of year $ 13,855 $ 14,493 $ 12,478 Due to the potential for resolution of income tax audits currently in progress, and the expiration of various statutes of limitation, it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits balance may change within the twelve months following December 31, 2021 by a range of zero to $ 6.5 million. Open tax years, including those previously mentioned, contain matters that could be subject to differing COLUMBIA SPORTSWEAR COMPANY | 2021 FORM 10-K | 57 Table of Contents I ndex to Notes to Consolidated Financial State ments interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations as they relate to the amount, timing, or inclusion of revenue and expenses or the sustainability of income tax credits for a given examination cycle. Unrecognized tax benefits of $ 12.9 million, $ 13.6 million and $ 11.5 million would affect the effective tax rate if recognized at December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company recognizes interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters in Income tax expense . The Company recognized a net increase of accrued interest and penalties of $ 0.3 million in 2021, and a net increase of accrued interest and penalties of $ 0.8 million in 2020 and a net reversal of accrued interest and penalties of $ 0.5 million in 2019, all of which related to uncertain tax positions. The Company had $ 2.6 million and $ 2.3 million of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. NOTE 11 — RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLANS 401(K) PROFIT-SHARING PLAN The Company has a 401(k) profit-sharing plan, which covers substantially all United States employees. Participation begins the first day of the quarter following completion of 30 days of service. The Company, with approval of the Board of Directors, may elect to make discretionary matching or non-matching contributions. Costs recognized for Company contributions to the plan were $ 10.7 million, $ 10.1 million and $ 9.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN The Company sponsors a nonqualified retirement savings plan for certain senior management employees whose contributions to the tax qualified 401(k) plan would be limited by provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. This plan allows participants to defer receipt of a portion of their salary and incentive compensation and to receive matching contributions for a portion of the deferred amounts. Costs recognized for Company matching contributions to the plan totaled $ 0.2 million, $ 0.4 million and $ 0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Participants earn a return on their deferred compensation ba sed on investment earnings of participant-selected investments. Deferred compensation, including accumulated earnings on the participant-directed investment selections, is distributable in cash at participant-specified dates or upon retirement, death, disability, or termination of employment. The Company has purchased specific money market and mutual funds in the same amounts as the participant-directed investment selections underlying the deferred compensation liabilities. These investment securities and earnings thereon, held in an irrevocable trust, are intended to provide a source of funds to meet the deferred compensation obligations, subject to claims of creditors in the event of the Company's insolvency. Changes in the market value of the participants' investment selections are recorded as an adjustment to the investments and as unrealized gains and losses in SG&A expense . A corresponding adjustment of an equal amount is made to the deferred compensation liabilities and compensation expense, which is included in SG&A expense . At December 31, 2021 and 2020 , the long-term portion of the liability to participants under this plan was $ 21.8 million and $ 18.7 million, respectively, and was recorded in Other long-term liabilities . At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the current portion of the participant liability was $ 1.0 million and $ 1.2 million, respectively, and was recorded in Accrued liabilities . At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the fair value of the long-term portion of the investments related to this plan was $ 21.8 million and $ 18.7 million, respectively, and was recorded in Other non-current assets . At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the current portion of the investments related to this plan was $ 1.0 million and $ 1.2 million, respectively, and was recorded in Short-term investments . NOTE 12 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES LITIGATION The Company is involved in litigation and various legal matters arising in the normal course of business, including matters related to employment, retail, intellectual property, contractual agreements, and various regulatory compliance activities. Management has considered facts related to legal and regulatory matters and opinions of counsel handling these matters, and does not believe the ultimate resolution of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. COLUMBIA SPORTSWEAR COMPANY | 2021 FORM 10-K | 58 Table of Contents I ndex to Notes to Consolidated Financial State ments INDEMNITIES AND GUARANTEES During its normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These include (i) intellectual property indemnities to the Company's customers and licensees in connection with the use, sale or license of Company products, (ii) indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease, (iii) indemnities to customers, vendors and service providers pertaining to claims based on the negligence or willful misconduct of the Company, (iv) executive severance arrangements, and (v) indemnities involving the accuracy of representations and warranties in certain contracts. The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies, and in certain cases, may be indefinite. The majority of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential for future payments the Company could be obligated to make. The Company has not recorded any liability for these indemnities, commitments and guarantees in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. NOTE 13 — SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY Since the inception of the Company's stock repurchase plan in 2004 through December 31, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of $ 1.5 billion 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 market conditions, and generally settle subsequent to the trade date. 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. Under this program as of December 31, 2021, the Company had repurchased 28.5 million shares at an aggregate purchase price of $ 1,183.7 million and had $ 316.3 million remaining available. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company purchased an aggregate of $ 165.9 million of common stock under this program. NOTE 14 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION At its Annual Meeting held on June 3, 2020, the Company’s shareholders approved the Company’s 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), and the 2020 Plan became effective on that date following such approval. The 2020 Plan replaced the Company’s 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Prior Plan”) and no new awards will be granted under the Prior Plan. The terms and conditions of the awards granted under the Prior Plan will remain in effect with respect to awards granted under the Prior Plan. The Company has reserved 3.0 million shares of common stock for issuance under the 2020 Plan, plus up to an aggregate of 1.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock that were previously authorized and available for issuance under the Prior Plan. At December 31, 2021, 3,643,701 shares were available for future grants under the 2020 Plan and up to 94,528 additional shares that were previously authorized and available for issuance under the Prior Plan may become available for future grants under the 2020 Plan. The Company's Stock Incentive Plan allows for grants of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and other stock-based or cash-based awards. The Company uses original issuance shares to satisfy share-based payments.

COLUMBIA SPORTSWEAR COMPANY | 2021 FORM 10-K | 59 Table of Contents I ndex to Notes to Consolidated Financial State ments STOCK OPTIONS Options to purchase the Company's common stock are granted at exercise prices equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. Options generally vest and become exercisable ratably on an annual basis over a period of four years and expire ten years from the date of the grant. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes model. Key inputs and assumptions used in the model include the exercise price of the award, the expected option term, the expected stock price 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 expected annual dividend yield. The option's expected term is derived from historical option exercise behavior and the option's terms and conditions, which the Company believes provide a reasonable basis for estimating an expected term. The expected volatility is estimated based on observations of the Company's historical volatility over the most recent term commensurate with the expected term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the United States Treasury yield approximating the expected term. The dividend yield is based on the expected cash dividend payouts. The weighted average assumptions for stock options granted and resulting fair value is as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Expected option term 4.35 years 4.39 years 4.50 years Expected stock price volatility 24.88 % 21.19 % 27.14 % Risk-free interest rate 0.54 % 1.14 % 2.49 % Expected annual dividend yield 1.09 % 1.13 % 1.03 % Weighted average grant date fair value per stock option granted $ 17.95 $ 14.67 $ 22.51 The following table summarizes stock option activity under the Plan: Number of Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life Aggregate Intrinsic Value (1) (in thousands) Options outstanding at January 1, 2019 1,604,621 $ 53.86 6.95 $ 48,703 Granted 395,653 93.98 Cancelled ( 68,275 ) 74.10 Exercised ( 452,325 ) 43.76 Options outstanding at December 31, 2019 1,479,674 66.74 7.11 49,930 Granted 660,071 87.25 Cancelled ( 78,163 ) 83.76 Exercised ( 142,419 ) 48.58 Options outstanding at December 31, 2020 1,919,163 74.45 7.19 29,489 Granted 687,772 95.90 Cancelled ( 213,444 ) 89.96 Exercised ( 459,957 ) 62.58 Options outstanding at December 31, 2021 1,933,534 $ 83.19 7.26 $ 29,889 Options vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2021 1,844,333 $ 82.67 7.18 $ 29,397 Options exercisable at December 31, 2021 773,731 $ 69.79 5.40 $ 21,744 (1) The aggregate intrinsic value 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.

At December 31, 2021, unrecognized costs related to outstanding stock options totaled $ 13.1 million, 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. These unrecognized costs related to stock options are being amortized over a weighted average period of 2.29 years. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $ 19.2 million, $ 4.9 million and $ 26.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The total cash received as a result of stock option exercises for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $ 28.8 million, $ 6.9 million and $ 19.8 million, respectively. RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS Service-based restricted stock units are granted at no cost to key employees and generally vest over a period of four years. Performance-based restricted stock units are granted at no cost to certain members of the Company's senior executive team, excluding the Chief Executive Officer. Performance-based restricted stock units granted after 2009 generally vest over a performance period of between two and three years. 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 or Company performance or both. The fair value of service-based and performance-based restricted stock units that are not eligible for dividends are valued at the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, reduced by the present value of dividends not received during the vesting period. Other assumptions incorporated into the grant date fair value include the vesting period and the Company's expected annual dividend yield. The weighted average assumptions for restricted stock units granted and resulting fair value are as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Vesting period 3.77 years 3.79 years 3.76 years Expected annual dividend yield 1.04 % 1.18 % 0.97 % Weighted average grant date fair value per restricted stock unit granted $ 96.07 $ 78.90 $ 94.58 The following table summarizes the restricted stock unit activity under the Plan: Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share Restricted stock units outstanding at January 1, 2019 424,001 $ 62.38 Granted 177,618 94.58 Vested (1) ( 163,195 ) 60.45 Forfeited ( 33,320 ) 72.35 Restricted stock units outstanding at December 31, 2019 405,104 76.45 Granted 216,318 78.90 Vested (1) ( 160,229 ) 68.72 Forfeited ( 35,918 ) 79.36 Restricted stock units outstanding at December 31, 2020 425,275 80.37 Granted 176,804 96.07 Vested (1) ( 164,088 ) 75.61 Forfeited ( 68,399 ) 86.38 Restricted stock units outstanding at December 31, 2021 369,592 $ 88.88 (1) The number of vested units includes shares withheld by the Company to pay up to maximum statutory requirements to taxing authorities on behalf of the employee.

NOTE 15 — EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share ("EPS") is presented on both a basic and diluted basis. Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares 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. A reconciliation of the common shares used in the denominator for computing basic and diluted EPS is as follows: Year Ended December 31, (in thousands, except per share amounts) 2021 2020 2019 Weighted average common shares outstanding, used in computing basic earnings per share 65,942 66,376 67,837 Effect of dilutive stock options and restricted stock units 473 396 656 Weighted average common shares outstanding, used in computing diluted earnings per share 66,415 66,772 68,493 Earnings per share: Basic $ 5.37 $ 1.63 $ 4.87 Diluted $ 5.33 $ 1.62 $ 4.83 Stock options and service-based restricted stock units, and performance-based restricted stock representing 843,578 , 1,122,935 and 405,928 shares of common stock for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, were outstanding but were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because their effect would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method or because the shares were subject to performance conditions that had not been met.

These risks include risks associated with financial markets, primarily currency exchange rate risk and, to a lesser extent, interest rate risk and equity market risk. The Company regularly assesses these risks and has established policies and business practices designed to mitigate them. The Company does not engage in speculative trading in any financial market. The Company actively manages the risk of changes in functional currency equivalent cash flows resulting from anticipated non-functional currency denominated purchases and sales. Subsidiaries that use European euros, Canadian dollars, Japanese yen, Chinese renminbi, or Korean won as their functional currency are primarily exposed to changes in functional currency equivalent cash flows from anticipated United States dollar inventory purchases. Subsidiaries that use United States dollars and euros as their functional currency also have non-functional currency denominated sales for which the Company hedges the Canadian dollar and British pound. The Company manages these risks by using currency forward contracts formally designated and effective as cash flow hedges. Hedge effectiveness is generally 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. For forward contracts, prior to June 2019, the time value components ("forward points") were excluded from the determination of hedge effectiveness and included in current period Cost of sales for hedges of anticipated United States dollar inventory purchases and in Net sales for hedges of anticipated non-functional currency denominated sales on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract. Effective June 2019, the forward points are now included in the fair value of the cash flow hedge on a prospective basis. These costs or benefits will be included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the underlying hedge transaction is recognized in either Net sales or Cost of sales , at which time, the forward points will also be recognized as a component of Net income . The Company also uses currency forward contracts not formally designated as hedges to manage the consolidated currency exchange rate risk associated with the remeasurement of non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities by subsidiaries that use United States dollars, euros, Canadian dollars, yen, won, or renminbi as their functional currency. Non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables, payables, deferred income taxes, and intercompany loans. The gains and losses generated on these currency forward contracts not formally designated as hedges are expected to be largely offset in Other non-operating income (expense), net by the gains and losses generated from the remeasurement of the non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The following table presents the gross notional amount of outstanding derivative instruments: December 31, (in thousands) 2021 2020 Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges: Currency forward contracts $ 485,083 $ 417,707 Derivative instruments not designated as hedges: Currency forward contracts 267,982 326,820 At December 31, 2021, $ 4.2 million of deferred net loss on both outstanding and matured derivatives recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are expected to be reclassified to Net income during the next twelve months as a result of underlying hedged transactions also being recorded in Net sa les or Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. When outstanding derivative contracts mature, actual amounts ultimately reclassified to Net sa les or Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income are dependent on United States dollar exchange rates in effect against the euro, pound sterling, renminbi, Canadian dollar, and yen as well as the euro exchange rate in effect against the pound sterling. At December 31, 2021, the Company's derivative contracts had a remaining maturity of less than three years . The maximum net exposure to any single counterparty, which is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain of all contracts with that counterparty, was $ 4.1 million at December 31, 2021. All of the Company's derivative counterparties have credit ratings that are investment grade or higher. The Company is a party to master netting arrangements that contain features that allow counterparties to net settle amounts arising from multiple separate derivative transactions or net settle in the case of certain triggering events such as a bankruptcy or major default of one of the counterparties to the transaction. The Company has not pledged assets or posted collateral as a requirement for entering into or maintaining derivative positions.

Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, under a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: COLUMBIA SPORTSWEAR COMPANY | 2021 FORM 10-K | 66 Table of Contents I ndex to Notes to Consolidated Financial State ments Level 1 — observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active liquid markets; Level 2 — inputs, other than the quoted market prices in active markets, that are observable, either directly or indirectly; or observable market prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions; and Level 3 — unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available, that require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. The Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized as Level 1 or Level 2 instruments. Level 1 instrument valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets. Level 2 instrument valuations are obtained from inputs, other than quoted market prices in active markets, that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace and quoted prices in markets with limited volume or infrequent transactions. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2021 are as follows: (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash equivalents: Money market funds $ 2,677 $ — $ — $ 2,677 Available-for-sale short-term investments: (1) U.S. Government treasury bills — 130,168 — 130,168 Other short-term investments: Money market funds 73 — — 73 Mutual fund shares 904 — — 904 Other current assets: Derivative financial instruments — 9,397 — 9,397 Non-current assets: Money market funds 2,219 — — 2,219 Mutual fund shares 19,606 — — 19,606 Derivative financial instruments — 10,142 — 10,142 Total assets measured at fair value $ 25,479 $ 149,707 $ — $ 175,186 Liabilities: Accrued liabilities: Derivative financial instruments $ — $ 3,572 $ — $ 3,572 Other long-term liabilities Derivative financial instruments — 318 — 318 Total liabilities measured at fair value $ — $ 3,890 $ — $ 3,890 (1) Available-for-sale short-term investments have remaining maturities of less than one year.
