Description of the Company

1.	Description of the Company

Vera Bradley, Inc. was formed as an Indiana corporation on June 23, 2010, for the purpose of reorganizing the corporate structure of Vera Bradley Designs, Inc. On October 3, 2010, the shareholders of Vera Bradley Designs, Inc. contributed all of their shares of Class A Voting Common Stock and Class B Non-Voting Common Stock of Vera Bradley Designs, Inc. to Vera Bradley, Inc. in return for shares of Vera Bradley, Inc. Class A Voting Common Stock and Class B Non-Voting Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. In addition, effective October 3, 2010, Vera Bradley Designs, Inc. converted from an “S” Corporation to a “C” Corporation for income-tax purposes. Further, on October 18, 2010, Vera Bradley, Inc. recapitalized all of its Class A Voting Common Stock and Class B Non-Voting Common Stock into a single class of common stock and effectuated a 35.437-for-1 stock split of all outstanding shares of its common stock. These events collectively are referred to as the “Reorganization.” As a result of the Reorganization, Vera Bradley Designs, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Vera Bradley, Inc. Except where context requires or where otherwise indicated, the terms “Company” and “Vera Bradley” refer to Vera Bradley Designs, Inc. and its subsidiaries before the Reorganization and to Vera Bradley, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Vera Bradley Designs, Inc., after the Reorganization. All historical common stock and per share common stock information has been changed to reflect the stock split.

Vera Bradley is a leading designer, producer, marketer, and retailer of stylish, highly functional accessories for women. The Company’s products include a wide offering of handbags, accessories, and travel and leisure items. The Company generates net revenues by selling products through two reportable segments: Direct and Indirect. The Direct segment consists of sales of Vera Bradley products through our 65 full-price stores, our 11 outlet stores in the United States, 15 department store locations in Japan, our websites, verabradley.com and verabradley.co.jp, and our annual outlet sale in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The Indirect business consists of sales of Vera Bradley products to approximately 3,400 specialty retailers, substantially all of which are located in the United States, as well as select department stores and third-party e-commerce sites.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company has eliminated intercompany balances and transactions in consolidation.

Fiscal Periods

The Company utilizes a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. As such, fiscal 2013 ended on February 2, 2013 and reflected a 53-week period; fiscal 2012 and 2011 ended on January 28, 2012, and January 29, 2011, respectively, and reflected 52-week periods. The inclusion of the 53rd week in fiscal 2013 resulted in incremental revenues of approximately $4.9 million and approximately $0.02 per diluted share.

Unaudited Pro Forma Income Information

Prior to the Reorganization, the Company was taxed as an “S” Corporation for purposes of federal and state income taxes. Accordingly, each of the Company’s then-shareholders was required to include his or her portion of the Company’s taxable income or loss on his or her federal and state income tax returns. As part of the Reorganization, effective October 3, 2010, the Company’s “S” Corporation status automatically terminated and the Company became subject to corporate-level federal and state income taxes at prevailing corporate rates.

The unaudited pro forma income information gives effect to an adjustment for income tax expense as if the Company had been a “C” Corporation at the beginning of each period presented at an assumed combined federal, state, and local income tax rate of 41.7% for the period from January 31, 2010, through October 2, 2010, and 40% for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2010. These rates approximate the calculated effective tax rates for the periods presented.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for organization, consolidation and basis of presentation of financial statements disclosure.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Significant Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the Company’s assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as the disclosures relating to contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include the valuation of inventories, accounts receivable valuation allowances, sales return allowances, and the useful lives of assets for depreciation or amortization. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company revises its estimates and assumptions as new information becomes available.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand, deposits with financial institutions, and investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains nearly all of its cash and cash equivalents with one financial institution. The Company monitors the credit standing of this financial institution on a regular basis.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Market is determined based on net realizable value, which includes costs to dispose. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excess quantities, and other factors, including the popularity of a pattern or product, in evaluating net realizable value.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost and depreciated or amortized over the following estimated useful lives using the straight-line method:


Buildings and building improvements			39.5 years
Furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements			5 – 10 years
Computer equipment			3 – 5 years
Software			3 – 5 years
Production equipment			7 years
Vehicles			5 years

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the asset or the lease term. Lease terms typically range from five to ten years.

When a decision is made to abandon property, plant, and equipment prior to the end of the previously estimated useful life, depreciation or amortization estimates are revised to reflect the use of the asset over the shortened estimated useful life. At the time of disposal, the cost of assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting loss is included in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Routine maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in connection with acquiring, modifying, and installing internal-use software. Capitalized costs are included in property, plant, and equipment and are amortized over three to five years. Software costs that do not meet capitalization criteria are expensed as incurred.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable

Revenue from the sale of the Company’s products is recognized upon customer receipt of the product when collection of the associated receivables is reasonably assured, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed and determinable, and ownership and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer, which, for e-commerce and most Indirect sales, reflects an adjustment for shipments that customers have not yet received. The adjustment of these shipments is based on actual delivery dates to the customer.

Included in net revenues are product sales to Direct and Indirect customers, including amounts billed to customers for shipping fees. Costs related to shipping of product are classified in cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Net revenues exclude sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.

Historical experience provides the Company the ability to estimate reasonably the amount of product sales that customers will return. Product returns are often resalable through the Company’s annual outlet sale or other channels. The Company accounts for anticipated returns by reducing net revenues, cost of sales, and accounts receivable and increasing inventories, essentially reversing the effects of the original sales transactions. Additionally, the Company reserves for other potential product credits granted to Indirect retailers. The returns and credits reserve and the related activity for each fiscal year presented were as follows (in thousands):


	Balance at Beginning of Year		Provision Charged to Net Revenues		Allowances Taken			Balance at End of Year
Fiscal year ended February 2, 2013	$	1,807	$	28,656	$	(28,318	)	$	2,145
Fiscal year ended January 28, 2012		1,265		20,804		(20,262	)		1,807
Fiscal year ended January 29, 2011		891		14,343		(13,969	)		1,265

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and customer-specific identification and believes that collections of receivables, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, are reasonably assured. The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $0.7 million and $0.6 million at February 2, 2013, and January 28, 2012, respectively.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes material and labor costs, freight, inventory shrinkage, operating lease costs, duty, and other operating expenses, including depreciation of the Company’s distribution center and equipment. Costs and related expenses to manufacture and distribute the products are recorded as cost of sales when the related revenues are recognized.

Operating Leases and Tenant-Improvement Allowances

The Company has leases that contain rent holidays and predetermined, fixed escalations of minimum rentals. For each of these leases, the Company recognizes the related rent expense on a straight-line basis commencing on the date of initial possession of the leased property. The Company records the difference between the recognized rent expense and the amount payable under the lease as a deferred lease credit.

The Company receives tenant-improvement allowances from some of the landlords of its leased properties. These allowances generally are in the form of cash received by the Company from its landlords as part of the negotiated lease terms. The Company records each tenant-improvement allowance as a deferred credit and amortizes the allowance on a straight-line basis as a reduction to rent expense over the term of the lease, commencing on the possession date.

Store Pre-Opening, Occupancy, and Operating Costs

The Company charges costs associated with the opening of new stores to selling, general, and administrative expenses as incurred. Selling, general, and administrative expenses also include store operating costs, store employee compensation, and store occupancy and supply costs.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair-value recognition provisions of ASC 718, Stock Compensation. Under these provisions, for its awards of restricted stock and restricted-stock units, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock on the grant date of the respective award. The Company recognizes this expense, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. For restricted-stock awards granted prior to its initial public offering, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense over the period the restrictions were to lapse and, then, in full upon the initial public offering.

Other Income and Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs at the time the promotion first appears in media, in stores, or on the website, and includes those costs in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company classifies the related recovery of a portion of such costs from Indirect retailers as other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Total advertising expense was as follows (in thousands):


Fiscal year ended February 2, 2013	$	22,495
Fiscal year ended January 28, 2012		20,154
Fiscal year ended January 29, 2011		20,149

Total recovery from Indirect retailers was as follows (in thousands):


Fiscal year ended February 2, 2013	$	5,984
Fiscal year ended January 28, 2012		7,692
Fiscal year ended January 29, 2011		6,966

Debt-Issuance Costs

During the fiscal year ended January 29, 2011, in connection with the amendment and restatement of the credit agreement (see Note 5), the Company incurred debt-issuance costs of $1.1 million and wrote off, to interest expense, $0.2 million of unamortized debt-issuance costs relating to certain portions of the original credit agreement. The Company is amortizing the remaining debt-issuance costs to interest expense over the five-year term of the amended and restated credit agreement. Debt-issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization, totaled $0.9 million at both February 2, 2013, and January 28, 2012, and are included in other current assets and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization expense of $0.2 million, $0.3 million, and $0.3 million is included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the fiscal years ended February 2, 2013, January 28, 2012, and January 29, 2011, respectively.

Derivative Instruments

To protect against the risk of adverse interest rate movement, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements in the fiscal year ended January 30, 2010, swapping its variable LIBOR-based interest rate on its line of credit with a fixed rate ranging from 0.79% to 1.20%. The Company did not elect hedge accounting and marked these derivative instruments to market, resulting in an insignificant liability and insignificant expense included in other accrued liabilities and selling, general, and administrative expenses as of and for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2010. The interest rate swap agreements had a total notional amount of $20.0 million, of which $10.0 million expired on February 2, 2010, and $10.0 million was terminated on November 8, 2010. The Company recognized insignificant losses upon this expiration and termination of these agreements in the fiscal year ended January 29, 2011.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date:

•

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

•

Level 2 – Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly

•

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions

The classification of fair value measurements within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement.

The carrying amounts reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents, receivables, other current assets, and payables as of February 2, 2013, and January 28, 2012, approximated their fair values.

The carrying amount for the amended and restated credit agreement (“credit agreement”) approximates fair value at February 2, 2013, and January 28, 2012, as the interest rates of these borrowings fluctuate with the market. The credit agreement falls within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Income Taxes

The Company accrues income taxes payable or refundable and recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the GAAP and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse, and recognizes the effect of a change in enacted rates in the period of enactment.

The Company establishes liabilities for uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns, using a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. The Company includes in income tax expense any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-05, Comprehensive Income – Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the Statement of Shareholders’ Equity. Instead, the Company must report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income which contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. While the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. In accordance with this guidance, we have presented two separate but consecutive statements which include the components of net income and other comprehensive income.

In May 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement – Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The guidance requires additional disclosures, including disclosures related to the measurement of level 3 assets. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is applied prospectively. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The reviews are conducted at the lowest identifiable level of cash flows. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows related to the property, plant, and equipment are less than the carrying value, the Company recognizes a loss equal to the difference between the carrying value and the fair value, as further defined in Note 2. An impairment charge of $0.2 million was recognized in the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013, for assets related to an underperforming store and is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income and in depreciation and amortization of property, plant, and equipment in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company did not record any impairment charges in fiscal 2012 or fiscal 2011.

Credit Agreement

On October 4, 2010, Vera Bradley Designs, Inc. entered into an agreement to amend and restate its credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, as administrative agent, and certain other lenders. The amended and restated credit agreement provides for a revolving credit commitment of $125.0 million and matures on October 3, 2015. All borrowings under the amended and restated credit agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The credit agreement is also guaranteed by the Company. The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with various financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1.00 and a leverage ratio of not more than 3.50 to 1.00. The agreement also contains various other covenants, including restrictions on the incurrence of certain indebtedness, liens, investments, acquisitions, and asset sales. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of February 2, 2013.

Borrowings under the amended and restated credit agreement bear interest at either LIBOR plus the applicable margin (ranging from 1.05% to 2.05%) or the alternate base rate (as defined in the agreement) plus the applicable margin (ranging from 0.05% to 1.05%). The applicable margin is tied to the Company’s leverage ratio. In addition, the Company is required to pay a quarterly facility fee (as defined in the agreement) ranging from 0.20% to 0.45% of the revolving credit commitment. At February 2, 2013, the interest rate on the $15.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the credit agreement was 1.30%. The Company had borrowing availability of $110.0 million under the agreement as of February 2, 2013.

On June 1, 2012, Vera Bradley Designs, Inc. entered into an amendment to the credit agreement. The amendment extends the maturity date from October 3, 2015 to June 1, 2017. Certain permitted indebtedness covenants were also amended.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for information about short-term and long-term debt arrangements, which includes amounts of borrowings under each line of credit, note payable, commercial paper issue, bonds indenture, debenture issue, own-share lending arrangements and any other contractual agreement to repay funds, and about the underlying arrangements, rationale for a classification as long-term, including repayment terms, interest rates, collateral provided, restrictions on use of assets and activities, whether or not in compliance with debt covenants, and other matters important to users of the financial statements, such as the effects of refinancing and noncompliance with debt covenants.

During fiscal year 2013, the Company continued retail operations in Japan which began in fiscal 2012. During the fiscal year, these retail activities incurred a loss. The Company has not recorded a tax benefit for this loss due to the uncertainty regarding the future realizability of the tax benefit of this loss. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of $0.9 million was recorded for the Japanese entity. If not used, this carryforward will expire in fiscal year 2020.

During fiscal year 2012, the Company began retail operations in Japan. During the first 12 months of operations, these retail activities incurred a loss. The Company has not recorded a tax benefit for this loss due to the uncertainty regarding the future realizability of the tax benefit of this loss. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of $0.6 million was recorded for the Japanese entity. If not used, this carryforward will expire in fiscal year 2019.

Prior to October 3, 2010, Vera Bradley Designs, Inc. was taxed as an “S” Corporation for federal income tax purposed under Section 1362 of the Internal Revenue Code, and therefore was not subject to federal and state income taxes (subject to exception in a limited number of state and local jurisdictions that do not recognize the “S” Corporation status). As a result of the conversion to a “C” Corporation, the Company recorded a net deferred tax asset and one-time deferred tax benefit of $1.8 million in fiscal year 2011. This benefit of $1.8 million reflects the company’s original estimate of the one-time benefit as well as changes to that estimate resulting from intervening enactments of depreciation-related tax legislation and the Company’s completion of its final “S” Corporation tax return. In addition, during the portion of fiscal year 2011 in which it operated as a “C” Corporation, the company recognized stock-based compensation expense associated with restricted-stock awards, a portion of which was permanently non-deductible, the tax impact of which was $1.2 million.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the GAAP and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows (in thousands):


	February 2, 2013			January 28, 2012
Deferred tax assets:
Compensation and benefits	$	4,202		$	3,572
Inventories		5,348			4,255

Total deferred tax liabilities		(11,498	)		(7,829	)

Net deferred tax assets	$	5,270		$	3,805

Uncertain Tax Positions

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest and penalties) for the fiscal years ended February 2, 2013, and January 28, 2012, is as follows (in thousands):


	February 2, 2013		January 28, 2012
Beginning balance	$	887	$	441
Increases in unrecognized tax benefits as a result of current-year activity		349		446
Increases for unrecognized tax benefits of prior years		—		—
Reductions for tax positions of prior years		—		—
Settlements		—		—

Ending balance	$	1,236	$	887

As of February 2, 2013, of the $1.2 million of total unrecognized tax benefits, $0.8 million, which is net of federal benefit, would, if recognized, favorably affect the effective tax rate in future periods. It is unlikely that any of total unrecognized tax benefits as of February 2, 2013, will change in the next twelve months. The Company recognized $0.5 million and $0.02 million of interest only, no penalties, related to unrecognized tax benefits in the fiscal years ended January 28, 2012 and January 29, 2011.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. Income tax returns for calendar year 2010 to present are open for examination in the federal jurisdiction and in significant state jurisdictions. Taxable income/loss in foreign jurisdictions are not material.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

Shareholders' Equity

On July 1, 2010, the Company initially filed its Registration Statement with the SEC. The Registration Statement, as amended, became effective on October 20, 2010, and the initial public offering (“IPO”) closed on October 26, 2010. As part of the IPO, the Company sold 4,000,000 shares of its common stock, raising net proceeds of approximately $56.3 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and costs incurred related to the IPO.

In conjunction with the Reorganization described in Note 1, on October 3, 2010, the Company distributed to its then-shareholders, in proportion to their share ownership, notes in an aggregate principal amount of $106.0 million, or 100% of the Company’s undistributed taxable income from the date of formation through October 2, 2010, the day prior to the date on which Vera Bradley Designs, Inc. terminated its “S” Corporation status. The Company recorded this distribution through an adjustment to retained earnings. On October 29, 2010, using the net proceeds from the IPO together with borrowings under the amended and restated credit agreement, the Company paid in full the principal amount of, and the interest due on, the notes.

Also in conjunction with the Reorganization, on October 18, 2010, the Company recapitalized all of its Class A Voting Common Stock and Class B Non-Voting Common Stock into a single class of common stock and effectuated a 35.437-for-1 stock split of all outstanding shares of its common stock. The Company’s articles of incorporation, as amended on October 18, 2010, authorize 200,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. No preferred stock was issued or outstanding as of February 2, 2013, or January 28, 2012.

Stock-Based Compensation

12 Months Ended

Feb. 02, 2013

Stock-Based Compensation

9.	Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s stock-based compensation consists of awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $2.8 million and $1.6 million, in the fiscal years ended February 2, 2013, and January 28, 2012, respectively. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $15.9 million, and a related tax benefit of $3.1 million, in the fiscal year ended January 29, 2011.

Awards of Restricted-Stock Units

The Company reserved 6,076,001 shares of common stock for issuance or transfer under the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan, which allows for grants of restricted stock units as well as other equity awards.

During the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013, the Company granted a total of 179,865 time-based and performance-based restricted stock units to certain employees under the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan with an aggregate fair value of $5.3 million. The Company determined the fair value of the units based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

The time-based restricted stock units vest and settle in shares of the Company’s common stock, on a one-for-one basis, in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. The Company is recognizing the expense relating to these awards, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over three years.

Performance-based restricted stock units vest upon the completion of a three-year period of time (cliff vesting), subject to the employee’s continuing employment throughout the three-year performance period and the Company’s achievement of annual net income targets during the three-year performance period. The Company is recognizing the expense relating to these units, net of estimated forfeitures and based on the probable outcome of achievement of the net income targets, on a straight-line basis over three years.

The following table summarizes information about restricted-stock units as of and for the year ended February 2, 2013 (units in thousands):


	Time-based Restricted Stock Units					Performance-based Restricted Stock Units
	Number of Units			Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value (per unit)		Number of Units			Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value (per unit)
Nonvested units outstanding at January 28, 2012		160		$	33.49		—		$	—
Granted		94			29.76		86			29.62
Vested		(81	)		27.51		—			—
Forfeited		(23	)		31.40		(10	)		29.62

Nonvested units outstanding at February 2, 2013		150		$	34.71		76		$	29.62

As of February 2, 2013, there was $4.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to nonvested restricted stock units. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years. The total fair value of restricted stock units for which restrictions lapsed (vested) during 2013 was $2.4 million. No restricted-stock awards were granted, vested, or forfeited for the year ended February 2, 2013.

Related-Party Transactions

The Company leases two of its facilities from a leasing company owned by certain shareholders and directors, as described further in Note 7.

In June 2011, the Company sold certain life insurance policies on the lives of its founders, who are also directors and officers of the Company, to the insureds at the fair market value of $0.7 million. The cash surrender value of the policies was $0.6 million, resulting in a $0.1 million gain. The cash surrender value was included in other assets prior to the sale and the gain on the sale was recorded in other income. Other life insurance policies not purchased by the insureds were terminated.

For each of the periods presented, the Company made charitable contributions of 10% of the net proceeds from the sale of inventory of certain designated patterns to the Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer (the “Foundation”). The Foundation was founded by two of the Company’s directors, who are also on the board of directors of the Foundation.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding restricted stock and restricted-stock units. The components of basic and diluted net income per share are as follows (in thousands, except per share data):


	Fiscal Year Ended
	February 2, 2013		January 28, 2012		January 29, 2011
Numerator:
Net income	$	68,870	$	57,921	$	46,198
Denominator:
Weighted-average number of common shares (basic)		40,536		40,507		36,813
Dilutive effect of stock-based awards		35		35		38

Weighted-average number of common shares (diluted)		40,571		40,542		36,851

Earnings per share:
Basic	$	1.70	$	1.43	$	1.25

Diluted	$	1.70	$	1.43	$	1.25

As of February 2, 2013, the amount of additional shares issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units that were excluded from the diluted share calculations because they were anti-dilutive was immaterial. As of February 2, 2013, there were no additional shares issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units that were excluded from the diluted share calculations.

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

The Company has two operating segments, which are also its reportable segments, Indirect and Direct. These operating segments are components of the Company for which separate financial information is available and for which operating results are evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing the performance of the segments.

The Indirect segment represents revenues generated through the distribution of Company-branded products to approximately 3,400 specialty Indirect retailers and department store partners across the United States. The Direct segment includes the Company’s full-price and outlet stores, department store locations in Japan, the Company’s websites, verabradley.com and verabradley.co.jp, and the annual outlet sale. Revenues generated through this segment are driven through the sale of Company-branded products from Vera Bradley to end consumers. No customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net revenues during fiscal year 2013, 2012 and 2011.

Corporate costs represent the Company’s administrative expenses, which include, but are not limited to: human resources, legal, finance, information technology, and various other corporate-level-activity-related expenses. All intercompany-related activities are eliminated in consolidation and are excluded from the segment reporting.

Company management evaluates segment operating results based on several indicators. The primary or key performance indicators for each segment are net revenues and operating income. The table below represents key financial information for each of the Company’s operating and reportable segments, Direct and Indirect.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2. The Company does not report depreciation or amortization expense, total assets, or capital expenditures by segment as such information is neither used by management nor accounted for at the segment level. Net revenues and operating income information for the Company’s reportable segments consisted of the following (in thousands):


	Fiscal Year Ended
	February 2, 2013			January 28, 2012			January 29, 2011

Direct	$	292,564		$	225,287		$	151,118
Indirect		248,584			235,556			214,939

Indirect		101,059			93,042			91,690

Total	$	186,118		$	161,139		$	138,133

Operating income	$	110,146		$	96,171		$	53,319

Sales outside of the United States were included in the Direct segment and are considered immaterial.

Revenues to external customers for Vera Bradley brand products are attributable to sales of handbags, accessories, and travel and leisure items. Other revenue to external customers primarily includes revenue from our annual outlet sale, home products, merchandising, freight, and licensing revenues. Net revenues by product category are as follows (in thousands):


	Fiscal Year Ended
	February 2, 2013		January 28, 2012		January 29, 2011
Net revenues:
Handbags	$	214,307	$	193,861	$	174,447
