Fourth Quarter Results
Net sales in the fourth quarter of 2012 increased 21.0% to $101.0 million from $83.4 million in the same quarter of the prior year. North America net sales in the fourth quarter increased 12.0% to $82.7 million from $73.8 million in the same quarter of the prior year. International net sales in the fourth quarter increased 90.2% to $18.3 million from $9.6 million in the same quarter of the prior year. The increase in North America net sales was primarily driven by increased Astro Gaming sales of $13.6 million. The increase in international net sales was primarily driven by increased sales in Europe.
Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2012 increased 8.5% to $45.2 million from $41.6 million in the same quarter of the prior year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales, or gross margin, was 44.7% in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to 49.9% in the same quarter of the prior year. The decrease in gross margin is due to increased sales of lower margin products, increased sales in lower margin channels and discounting.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter 2012 increased 29.8% to $27.5 million and included $1.5 million of bad debt expense due to the bankruptcy filing of a major retail customer and $0.7 million of expenses associated with the settlement of a patent litigation matter. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 27.2% from 25.4% in the same quarter of the prior year.
Net income attributable to Skullcandy, Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2012 was $11.5 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, based on 27.8 million diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Net income attributable to Skullcandy, Inc. in the same quarter of the prior year was $12.3 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, based on 28.0 million diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Excluding certain expenses related to the bankruptcy filing of a major retail customer in Europe and expenses associated with the settlement of a patent litigation matter, non-GAAP adjusted net income in the fourth quarter of 2012 was $13.2 million, or $0.47 per diluted share based on 27.8 million diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Non-GAAP adjusted net income in the same quarter of the prior year was $13.2 million, or $0.47 per diluted share based on 28.0 million diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted net income to net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to GAAP earnings per share, see the accompanying tables at the end of this release.
Balance Sheet Highlights
As of December 31, 2012, cash and cash equivalents totaled $19.3 million compared to $23.3 million at December 31, 2011 and the Company had no long-term debt. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had $27.8 million of availability under its credit facility. Inventory decreased 5.5% to $41.6 million as of December 31, 2012 from $44.0 million as of December 31, 2011. Accounts receivable increased 50.8%, or $25.7 million, to $76.3 million as of December 31, 2012. The increase is primarily due to increased receivables of $13.7 million at Astro Gaming due to the launch of Astro products at certain retail stores and an increase in other international receivables, as well as an overall increase in fourth quarter sales in 2012 compared to 2011.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this press release and oral statements made from time to time by representatives of the Company are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In particular, statements regarding the Company's guidance, outlook, future financial and operating results and any other statements about the Company's future expectations, beliefs or prospects expressed by management are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and beliefs, but they involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations are disclosed under the "Risk Factors" section of the 2011 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 23, 2012 and in the Company's most recent Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise
Non-GAAP Measures
Non-GAAP adjusted net income and non-GAAP adjusted fully diluted earnings per share, for the periods presented, represents diluted net income per share excluding the impact of expenses associated with the second and third contingent payments pursuant to the securities purchase and redemption agreement (a historical capital transaction), a reserve for uncollectible receivables resulting from the bankruptcy filing of a major retail customer and expenses associated with the settlement of patent litigation and other litigation. Management does not believe these expenses correlate to the underlying performance of the business. As a result, the Company believes that non-GAAP adjusted net income and non-GAAP adjusted fully diluted earnings per share provides important additional information for measuring its performance, provides consistency and comparability with the Company's past financial performance, facilitates period to period comparisons of the Company's operations, and facilitates comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. The Company's management team uses these metrics to evaluate the Company's business and believes they are a measure used frequently by securities analysts and investors. Non-GAAP adjusted net income and adjusted fully diluted earnings per share do not represent, and should not be used as a substitute for net income and diluted earnings per share, as determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company's method of calculating non-GAAP adjusted net income and adjusted fully diluted earnings per share may differ from that of other companies.
