Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This annual report on Form 10-K and other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, contain
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and we intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby.
These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements with terminology including anticipate, believe, can, continue,
could, estimate, expect, intend, may, plan, potential, predict, should or will or similar expressions as they relate to us and
our business, industry, markets, retailers, licensees, manufacturers and consumers. Such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to statements relating to expected growth and strategies, future operating and financial results,
financial expectations and current business indicators, are based upon current information and expectations, and are subject to change based on factors beyond our control.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Actual results

PART I



|ITEM 1. | BUSINESS
|------- | --------

We are an innovative designer, marketer and distributor of premium quality young mens and young womens clothing, footwear, accessories and related products under the Volcom brand name. We believe that we
have one of the worlds leading brands in the action sports industry, built upon our history in the boardsports of skateboarding, snowboarding and surfing. Our position as a premier brand in these three boardsports differentiates us from many
of our competitors within the broader action sports industry and has enabled us to generate strong growth in revenues and operating income.

Our products, which include, among others, t-shirts, fleece, bottoms, tops, jackets, boardshorts, denim, outerwear, sandals, girls swimwear and a complete collection of kids and boys clothing, combine
fashion, functionality and athletic performance. We develop and introduce products that we believe set the industry standard for style and quality in each of our product categories. We seek to offer products that appeal to both boardsport
participants and those who affiliate themselves with the broader action sports youth lifestyle.

The Volcom brand, symbolized by The Volcom Stone

LOGO, is athlete-driven, innovative and creative. We have consistently followed our motto of youth against establishment, and our brand is inspired by the energy of youth culture. We reinforce our brand image
through the sponsorship of world-class athletes, targeted grassroots marketing events, distinctive advertising, and by producing and selling music under our Volcom Entertainment label and boardsports-influenced films through Veeco Productions, our
film division. We believe our multi-faceted marketing approach integrates our brand image with the lifestyles and aspirations of our consumers.

In 2008, we acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of Electric Visual Evolution LLC, or
Electric. Known for its Volt logo, Electric is a core action sports lifestyle brand. Electrics growing product line includes sunglasses, goggles, t-shirts, bags, hats, belts and other accessories. Electric is headquartered in Orange County,
California and is operated as a subsidiary of Volcom. Also in 2008, we acquired the assets of Laguna Surf & Sport, a California-based retail chain currently operating two retail stores.

We seek to enhance our brand image by controlling the distribution of our products. We sell to retailers that we believe merchandise our
products in an environment that supports and reinforces our brand and that provide a superior in-store experience. This strategy has enabled us to develop strong relationships with key boardsport and

youth lifestyle retailers that share our focus. Our retail customers are primarily comprised of specialty boardsports retailers and several retail chains. Some of these include 17th Street
Surf, B.C. Surf, Below the Belt, Froghouse, HIC, Hotline, Huntington Surf & Sport, IG Performance, Jacks Surfboards, K5 Board Shop, Macys, Nordstrom, Pacific Sunwear, Ron Jons, Showcase, Snowboard Connection, Spyder, Sun Diego,
Surfside Sports, The Room, Tillys, Town and Country, Val Surf, West Beach and Zumiez. Our products are sold over the Internet through selected authorized online retailers, and beginning in 2010, through our own direct to consumer ecommerce
platform. Currently, we operate 13 full-price Volcom branded retail stores and license an additional 11 full-price stores located in strategic markets around the world, where we are able to present our brand message directly to our target market.
Additionally, we own two multibrand Laguna Surf & Sport stores and license 10 Volcom outlet stores. In February 2011, we announced that we have signed a definitive agreement to terminate the current Volcom outlet license agreement and
purchase the assets related to the operation of the 10 existing licensed Volcom outlet stores. We anticipate completing the transaction by mid-2011.

Volcom branded products are currently sold throughout the United States and in over 40 countries internationally by us, third-party distributors or international licensees. Revenues from our United States
segment were $217.8 million, $188.8 million and $237.1 million for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Revenues from our European segment were $70.2 million, $70.7 million and $73.0 million for 2010, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. Revenues from our Electric segment were $27.5 million, $21.1 million and $24.2 million for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Revenues from our Australian segment were $7.7 million for 2010. We also license our brand in other
areas of the world, including Indonesia, South Africa, Brazil and Argentina, to entities that we believe have valuable local market insight and strong relationships with retailers in their respective territories. We receive royalties on the sales of
Volcom branded products sold by our licensees. With the completion of the acquisition of Volcom Australia Pty Ltd (our former Australian licensee), or Volcom Australia, effective August 1, 2010, we experienced a decrease in our licensing
revenues effective as of the date of the acquisition, and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the operations of Volcom Australia. However, our product revenues should increase in Australia as we have begun to
directly sell our products in this territory.

As part of our strategy to take direct control of our international operations,
we established our own direct operations in Europe and delivered our first full season product line during the third quarter of 2007. We furthered our international expansion in 2008 by completing the acquisition of our distributor of Volcom branded
products in Japan. In 2009, we took direct control of the Volcom brand in the United Kingdom. In August 2010, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Volcom Australia. In October 2010, we entered into an agreement for the transition
and sale of certain assets of our distributor of Volcom branded products in Spain, whereby we will take direct control of the Spain territory beginning with the delivery of the Fall 2011 product line, which will begin shipping in approximately July
2011.

Volcom was founded in 1991 by Richard Woolcott and Tucker Hall in Orange County, California, the epicenter of
boardsports culture. We reincorporated in Delaware in April 2005. We believe we were the first major apparel company founded on the boardsports of skateboarding, snowboarding and surfing. Our founders set out to build a company that combined their
passion for these sports with their love of art, music and film. Stockholders may obtain a copy of our SEC reports, free of charge, from the SECs website at www.sec.gov or from our website at www.volcom.com, or by writing to
Investor Relations, Volcom, Inc., 1740 Monrovia Avenue, Costa Mesa, California 92627. Information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference herein.

Financial Information About Segments, Product Lines and Geographic Regions

Information regarding our segments, product lines and geographic areas in which we operate is contained in Note 15 to our Consolidated
Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

Products

We design and distribute an innovative collection of young mens and young womens clothing, footwear and accessories inspired by skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing and motocross. Our products are created
for participants in these sports, as well as those who affiliate themselves with the broader action sports lifestyle. Our products incorporate a distinctive mixture of fashion and function, combined with quality, comfort and athletic performance.
Our premiere product collections include the environmentally conscious V.Co-Logical® Series, the
rider-collaborative V.Co-Operative Series, the Volcom Stone-Age Series and the Featured Artist Series. Our clothing not only exemplifies our lifestyle, but enhances the ability to live it. All of our clothes and accessories are sold under the
Volcom and Electric brands and typically retail at premium prices.

We have seven primary product categories: mens, girls,
boys (which includes young boys and little youth products), footwear, girls swim, snow and Electric. The principal products sold within these categories are:

T-Shirts and Fleece. We believe our prints and designs distinguish our t-shirts and fleece from those of our competitors and are staple items for our consumers. The majority of these items
display a distinctive art style, utilizing unique treatments, placements of screened images, designs and embroideries. On some of our t-shirts and fleece, we promote our Featured Artist Series, a program in which we work closely with select team
riders and relevant artists associated with our target market to design certain products. Most pieces prominently display the Volcom name or the Volcom Stone logo.

Tops and Jackets. Our knit and woven tops and casual jackets are recognizable for their bold and creative styling. Many of our designs are built on traditional fashions, with a distinctive
Volcom image or style feature that creates a distinguishing look our consumers have come to expect.

Bottoms.We design
a variety of casual and dress pants, shorts and skirts. Our bottoms are generally made using cotton or cotton-blend fabrics. Our bottoms are designed to be both functional and distinctive and generally have one or more elements that provide a unique
Volcom look.

Denim.Volcom Brand Jeans have a tradition of vintage inspiration mixed with modern cuts. With
distinctive styles, including certain V.Co-Operative signature product styles, the line is consistently invigorated with new fits and bodies. Each piece is carefully handcrafted, focusing on only the finest fabrications. The detail, denims and
washes reveal our level of dedication to this category. The ongoing Road-Tested Denim marketing campaign recognizes the influence of the rock and roll lifestyle by portraying team riders, musicians and artists in authentic
contexts.

Boardshorts.We introduced our boardshorts line in 1992 and have continually evolved the program. The Volcom
Pipehouse on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii is home to the research and development of our boardshort program, as exemplified in the Pure Function marketing campaign. Our boardshorts are known for their superior performance, art
inspired prints and unique embellishments.

Outerwear. Our outerwear products, which were
introduced in 2000, consist of technically advanced jackets and pants that are designed to meet the demands of snowboarding. Our outerwear is designed with a number of technical features and fabrics and includes significant input from our snowboard
team. Some of the technical aspects of our outerwear include Gore-Tex® fabrics, taped and welded seam
construction, waterproof zippers, our patented Zip-Tech® jacket/pant connection system and most recently the
revolutionary Thermal Defense System, with strategically insulated outerwear. We believe that our outerwear provides consumers with a distinctive mix of fashion and technical performance, which distinguishes it from many of our
competitors products.

Accessories.We also sell a variety of accessories such as hats, wallets, socks, belts and
bags to complement our clothing lines.

##### Table of Contents

Footwear.We introduced a complete line of sandals and bedroom slippers branded
Volcom Creedlers in 2006. These products are sold year-round and are offered in our mens, boys and girls categories. They are generally distributed within our existing customer base.

Swim. We introduced our girls swimwear line in 2007. The girls swimwear product complements our existing girls business and
is merchandised with the girls sportswear, sandals and accessories. Our swimwear is generally distributed within our existing customer base.

Music and Film. We also generate revenues from the sale of music produced by our record label, Volcom Entertainment, and films produced by Veeco Productions, our film production division.

Electric.We also offer a full line of innovative and high-quality sunglasses and goggles as well as t-shirts, fleece
and accessories under the Electric brand name.

Product Design

We believe that our reputation for creativity and innovation enables us to design products that continuously evolve in style and functionality while remaining attractive to consumers in our target market
and to our retail accounts. We have put in place design processes that we believe allow us to respond quickly to changing consumer tastes and preferences.

We employ design and product development teams located in our Orange County, California headquarters and our European and Australian headquarters. These teams are organized into groups that separately
focus on our mens, girls, boys, snow, footwear and girls swimwear categories. In addition to our in-house design team, each of our international licensees employs designers and merchandisers to create products that reflect local trends, while
maintaining our brand image. Our in-house design team and designers from our international licensees generally meet several times each year to collaboratively develop designs that reflect fashion trends from around the world. Additionally, design
teams for each product category participate in annual travel to locations known for their influence on fashion and style, such as New York, Paris, London, Sydney and Tokyo. Our domestic designers and those of our international licensees share the
majority of our seasonal styles, resulting in a consistent look for Volcom products sold worldwide. We also involve our team riders and core retail accounts in the design process. We believe that team rider input adds to the style and functionality
of our products and reinforces the credibility and authenticity of our brand. We also believe that involving our retailers provides us with additional insight into consumer preferences.

Our design calendar is typically organized around five major seasons: spring, summer, fall, snow and holiday. As a result of the feedback
gathered from our sponsored athletes and core retailers, we are able to incorporate new looks and features into each seasons product line. These changes range from evolutions within our basic product lines to new fashion-forward styles.

Manufacturing and Sourcing

We generally contract for the manufacture of each of our product lines separately based on our fabric and design requirements. We do not own or operate any manufacturing facilities, and source our
products from independently owned manufacturers. Our apparel and accessories are generally purchased or imported as finished goods, and we purchase only a limited amount of raw materials. Our manufacturers operate facilities using advanced machinery
and equipment, and we believe these manufacturers represent some of the strongest in their industry. Our t-shirts are screen-printed in the United States, which has resulted in short lead times and has enabled us to react quickly to reorder demand
from our retailers and distributors.

We have developed a sourcing process that allows us to maintain production flexibility
and to avoid the capital expenditures and ongoing costs of operating an in-house manufacturing function. Approximately 63% and 11% of our total product costs during 2010 and approximately 63% and 12% of our total product costs during

2009 were derived from manufacturing operations in China and Mexico, respectively. We also contract with several domestic screen printers. Other than Dragon Crowd and Ningbo Jehson Textiles, two
of our manufacturers located in China that accounted for 17% and 16%, respectively, of our product costs during 2010 and 2009, no single manufacturer of finished goods accounted for more than 10% of our production expenditures during 2010 or 2009.
We do not have any long-term contracts with our manufacturers, choosing instead to retain the flexibility to re-evaluate our sourcing and manufacturing decisions. We evaluate our vendors primarily on the quality of their work, ability to deliver on
time and cost. Representatives from our design and production staff visit and formally assess our foreign contract manufacturers multiple times per year. We also use the services of third parties to assist us in quality control and to ensure that
our manufacturers are in compliance with applicable labor practices. These third parties generally perform periodic social compliance audits, provide regular quality inspections, monitor delivery deadlines and assess overall vendor performance. We
believe that our commitment to quality control and our monitoring procedures are an important and effective means of maintaining the quality of our products and our reputation among consumers.

We work directly with local sourcing agents aligned with foreign contract manufacturers to direct our production needs to factories that
meet our quality and timing needs. We typically choose our manufacturers based on their expertise in specific product lines. Many of our manufacturers specialize in multiple product lines, allowing us to reallocate orders, if necessary, to
manufacturers with whom we have established relationships. We believe this enhances the efficiency and consistency of our sourcing operations. In addition, we maintain relationships with numerous qualified manufacturers that are available to provide
additional capacity on an as-needed basis. We regularly research, test and add alternate and back-up manufacturers to our network to ensure that we maintain a constant flow of products in order to meet the needs of our retailers and distributors. In
addition, we source products with multiple vendors allowing for competitive pricing and manufacturing flexibility. Based on our historical experience with a wide range of manufacturers, we believe alternate manufacturing sources are available at
comparable costs.

We arrange for the production of a majority of our products primarily based on orders received. We have
traditionally received a significant portion of our customer orders prior to placement of our initial manufacturing orders. We use these early season orders, and our experience, to project overall demand for our products in order to secure
manufacturing capacity and to enable our manufacturers to order sufficient raw materials. We believe that our ability to effectively forecast seasonal orders, combined with our flexible sourcing model, limits our sourcing risk, increases our ability
to deliver our products to our customers on time, helps us better manage our inventory and contributes to our overall profitability.

Imports and Import Restrictions

Our independent buying agents, primarily in China and Hong Kong, and to a lesser extent, in other foreign countries, assist us in selecting and overseeing the majority of our independent third-party
manufacturing and sourcing. These agents also monitor economic and other trade regulations in addition to facilitating our quality control function.

Our products manufactured abroad are subject to United States customs laws, which impose tariffs and duties on products being imported from other countries. The United States and other countries in
which our products are manufactured and sold may, from time to time, impose new duties, tariffs, surcharges or other import controls or restrictions, including the imposition of safeguard quota, or adjust presently prevailing duty or
tariff rates or levels. In an effort to minimize our potential exposure to import risk, we actively monitor import restrictions and quota fill rates and, if needed, can shift production to other countries or manufacturers.

Additionally, China offers a rebate tax on exports to control the amount of exports from China, which can affect our cost either
positively or negatively. These potential cost increases, along with the rising currency, raw material cost increases and labor shortages in China, may have an impact on our business. Beginning in 2010, there have been widespread labor shortages
reported in China, which have adversely impacted our product costs

and deliveries. Additionally, wages and raw material costs have increased in China, which has caused price increases. Recently, the price of cotton has risen significantly compared to the same
period last year. We have addressed these issues by adjusting our wholesale prices, where possible, and evaluating additional sourcing suppliers to offset these increases. While we do not believe the limitations on imports from China will have a
material effect on our operations, we have begun sourcing more in other countries, such as India, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Mexico. There will be increased pressure on costs going forward, and we intend to closely monitor our sourcing in China to
avoid disruptions.

With the passage of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 and similar state laws, such as
Californias Proposition 65, there are new requirements mandated for the textiles and apparel industries. These requirements relate to all metal and painted trim items and certain other raw materials used in childrens apparel, as
well as flammability standards in certain types of textiles. The Consumer Product Safety Commission, or CPSC, will require certification and testing for lead in paint and metal trims, pointed or sharp edge items, Phthalates, and fabric
flammability to meet the CPSCs limits. We will continue to monitor the situation and intend to abide by all rules and changes made by the CPSC and similar state laws. This could have a negative impact on the cost of our goods and poses a
potential risk if we do not adhere to these requirements.

Third Party Distribution and Sales

We seek to enhance our brand image by controlling the distribution of our products around the world and selling to retailers that we
believe merchandise our products in an environment that supports and reinforces our brand image. Our retail customers are primarily comprised of specialty boardsports retailers and several retail chains. We encourage our retailers to maintain
specific merchandise presentation standards. Our products are also offered over the Internet through selected authorized online retailers.

Our specialty retailers attract skateboarders, snowboarders and surfers who we believe have influence over fashion trends and demand for boardsports products. We focus on our relationships with these
specialty retailers, as we believe they represent the foundation of the boardsports market. We collaborate with our specialty retailers by providing in-store marketing displays, which include racks, wall units and point-of-purchase materials that
promote our brand image. We believe that these programs have enabled us to grow our sales within these accounts and will enable us to increase our floor space going forward. We also sponsor events and programs at our retailers such as autograph
signings and boardsport demonstrations with our team riders. We believe that our relationships with our retailers are a critical element of our success.

We maintain a sales force of independent sales representatives. These representatives are compensated on a commission basis, which we believe provides them with strong incentives to promote our products.
We are typically the exclusive apparel brand sold by these representatives, who may also sell complementary products from other companies. For certain of our larger retail accounts and distributors, we manage the sales relationship in-house rather
than using independent sales representatives.

We employ an in-house sales team to serve major national accounts, such as
Dillards, Macys, Nordstrom, Pacific Sunwear, Tillys and Zumiez. We also employ an in-house sales team to serve international territories not represented by one of our international licensees, such as Canada, Asia Pacific, Latin America
and Puerto Rico.

In order to maintain sufficient inventories to meet the demands of our retailers, we typically pre-book
orders in advance of delivery. None of our sales agreements with any of our customers provides for any rights of return. As is customary in our industry, we do approve returns on a case-by-case basis at our sole discretion to protect our brand and
our image.

We inspect, sort, pack and ship substantially all of our products, other than those sold by our licensees or in
Canada and Japan, from our distribution warehouse located in Orange County, California for our United States operations; from our warehouses in Anglet, France and Saint Geours de Maremne, France for our European

operations; and from our warehouse in Brookvale, New South Wales for our Australian operations. We distribute our products sold in Canada and Japan through third-party distribution centers
located in Kamloops, British Columbia and Tokyo, Japan, respectively. All products received into these distribution centers are subject to our strict quality control standards, which include cross-referencing each style back to the pre-production
and fit comments, which were made throughout the production cycle, reviewing design comments against product shipments, overall shipment inspection for water or other damage by our receiving department, and garment inspection and specification
measurements by our quality control department.

Direct to Consumer Sales

We currently operate 13 full-price Volcom branded retail stores located in strategic markets around the world. We believe that operating
company-owned, branded retail stores is an effective way for us to promote our products, athletes and brand image. The Volcom stores are stocked with much of our product line, as well as limited edition goods only available in our stores. Our Volcom
stores regularly host events with our athletes, Volcom featured artists and musicians, which attract consumers and enable us to showcase our brand. The design and layout of the stores, which include an assortment of our apparel, art presentations, a
music listening station with Volcom Entertainment titles and a Veeco Productions section with our film titles, exemplifies our philosophy of change and youth culture. We also own two multibrand Laguna Surf & Sport stores and license 10
Volcom outlet stores. Additionally, in 2010, we launched our own direct to consumer ecommerce platform.

In February 2011, we
announced that we have signed a definitive agreement to terminate the current Volcom outlet license agreement and purchase the assets related to the operation of the 10 existing licensed Volcom outlet stores. We anticipate completing the transaction
by mid-2011.

Licensing

We serve Brazil, South Africa (including Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho and Swaziland), Indonesia and Argentina (including Paraguay and Uruguay) through license agreements with four independent licensees.
Effective August 1, 2010, we completed the acquisition of Volcom Australia, a former licensee of our products located in Australia. Prior to the closing of the transaction, we held a 13.9% ownership interest in Volcom Australia.

Our international license agreements grant our licensees exclusive, non-transferable rights to produce and sell specified Volcom branded
products in their respective geographic areas. Our licensees pay us a specified royalty rate on their sales of these products. The license agreements require the licensee to follow our quality, design, marketing and distribution standards so that
all products sold by licensees are consistent with the style, image, design and quality of other products we sell. We retain the right to require each licensee to discontinue selling any product that we believe does not meet our quality and design
requirements.

Our international license agreements expire as follows:



|             |  |                   |  |                           
|------------ |  | ----------------- |  | --------------------------
|Licensee     |  | Expiration Date   |  | Extension Termination Date
|Brazil       |  | December 31, 2013 |  | N/A                       
|South Africa |  | December 31, 2011 |  | N/A                       
|Indonesia    |  | December 31, 2014 |  | N/A                       
|Argentina    |  | December 31, 2013 |  | December 31, 2018         

In the
future, we may assume responsibility for serving territories that are currently represented by our licensees in order to better control our international distribution and branding. We may accomplish this by acquiring some of our licensees or by
establishing our operations abroad in anticipation of the expiration of our license agreements. We believe directly controlling our international distribution will result in increased international revenues and profitability.

Advertising and Promotion

Our brand message blends elements of our athletes, fashion, art, music and film. We employ a multi-faceted advertising and promotion strategy. We do not generally use outside marketing agencies,
preferring instead to utilize our internal marketing and art departments to create our advertisements and manage our various campaigns, events and grassroots programs. Our advertising and promotional strategy primarily consists of athlete
sponsorship, Volcom branded events, co-sponsored events, print advertisements, music, film, our Featured Artist Series and online marketing programs.

Athlete Sponsorship

We believe that sponsoring high-profile
skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing and motocross athletes, as well as supporting emerging talents, is an essential promotional tool to continue building our brand. We believe our association with top athletes builds brand equity and authenticity,
and strengthens the link between our products and our target consumers. We seek credibility in our target market by maintaining a strong sponsorship presence with our athletes in order to differentiate us from our competitors.

We sponsor domestic and international teams of leading athletes that wear our apparel, use our products and prominently display the
Volcom brand and the Volcom Stone logo in competitions and other public appearances. We also produce films featuring our athletes, and support contests and other events in which our athletes promote our products. Some of our best-known athletes in
each of our three boardsports and motocross include the following:

influential surfers in the world. Although Bruce has steered away from full-time competition, he will continue to compete in select ASP and specialty events, and his primary focus is set where he excels the most, his free surfing. Bruces style

##### Table of Contents

We have contractual relationships with our sponsored athletes whereby we compensate them for
promoting our products. Sponsorship arrangements are typically structured to give our athletes financial incentives to maintain a highly visible profile. Our contracts typically grant us an unlimited license for the use of the athletes names
and likenesses, and typically require the athletes to maintain exclusive association with our apparel. In turn, we agree to make cash payments to the athletes for various public appearances, magazine exposure and competitive victories while wearing
our products. In addition to cash payments, we also generally provide limited free products for the athletes use, and fund some travel expenses incurred by sponsored athletes in conjunction with promoting our products.

Volcom Branded Events

An important aspect of our marketing platform is our creation and support of grassroots skateboard, snowboard and surfing events in markets worldwide. We describe the driving philosophy behind many of
these events as Let The Kids Ride Free, which we believe embodies our anti-establishment brand image. We believe that these events help our brand reach a wide audience within our target market. Hundreds of competitors and spectators
typically attend these events.

We run a Let The Kids Ride Free contest series for each of skateboarding,
snowboarding and surfing. These contests include the Wild in the Parks Skate Series, the Peanut Butter and Rail Jam Snow Series and the Totally Crustaceous Surf Series. These contests are held around the world both by us and by our international
licensees. At these events, we emphasize fun and excitement for participants and spectators. The contests are open on a first-come, first-served basis and entry is free, so amateurs and first time competitors can compete alongside professionals.
Additionally, free beverages and food are often provided, along with giveaways from us and other companies. We have a global championship event for each series where we invite the top qualifiers from each region to compete.

In January 2011, along with Electric, we hosted our second annual ASP sanctioned surf contest at Pipeline on Oahus North Shore
titled the Volcom Pipe Pro. Surfers from around the world attend this WQS event to compete for the prestigious title. The event is broadcasted live via high definition webcast.

We organize, produce and manage these events through our internal marketing department, which is responsible for choosing venues,
arranging sponsored athlete attendance, marketing and working at each contest. By promoting Volcom branded events throughout the year, we are able to collect consumer feedback and insight that, we believe, allows us to keep our brand connected to
our target market and enables us to keep our products innovative, fresh and relevant.

Print Advertisements

We place the majority of our print advertisements in boardsports magazines such as Thrasher, Transworld Skateboarding
and Snowboarding, Snowboarder, Surfing and Surfer. We also advertise in fashion lifestyle magazines such as Complex, Elle, Monster Children, and Vice. We combine athletes, lifestyle, innovative visual designs and our unique style into our
advertisements. Our internal art department designs all of our advertisements, including most of those placed in international publications to support our licensees. We do not generally use outside advertising agencies. By maintaining complete
creative control of our advertisements, we are able to ensure that our brand image remains consistent with our heritage and passion for action sports.

Music

We operate our own music and entertainment label, Volcom
Entertainment, which identifies and signs musical artists and produces and distributes recordings in the form of CDs, digital downloads, vinyl LPs and wireless media worldwide through our retail accounts, music retailers and online distribution
channels. Some of our best-known artists include Valient Thorr, a rock band from Chapel Hill, North Carolina; Pepper, an

alternative band from Kona, Hawaii; and Riverboat Gamblers, a rock band from Austin, Texas. Recent artists added to Volcom Entertainments developing roster include Premonition 13, a rock
band from Los Angeles, California; Tweak Bird, an alternative band from Los Angeles, California; and Wildildlife, an alternative band from Seattle, Washington. We believe that this component of our marketing platform provides us with a creative and
artistic medium to connect with our target market and differentiates us from our competitors.

While we currently generate
modest revenues from sales of music, these products reinforce our brand image and enhance our marketing efforts. The music and bands are also integrated into the Volcom brand seasonally via a line of music and musician inspired clothing. The
entertainment label also helps produce marketing and product marketing campaigns to drive sales and general brand awareness, which not only involves our signed bands but also high profile acts like Pearl Jam, Rise Against, Mastodon and Motorhead,
who we worked closely with in 2010.

The Volcom Tour, our company branded international music tour featuring our
artists and other high profile acts, reaches broad audiences in Europe and throughout North America. We also operate and sponsor an annual music competition for unsigned rock bands called the Band Joust. Since 2008, we have operated a
subscription based vinyl record club coined Volcom Ent Vinyl Club, which delivers subscribers collectable vinyl singles on a bi-monthly basis. Additionally, our bands play at tradeshows, account demonstrations and other Volcom events.

In North America, we have entered into a music distribution arrangement with The Orchard, which is a full service independent
marketing and distribution company that specializes in music and video entertainment. In the rest of the world, we are exclusive with ADA Global, a music distribution company owned by Warner Music Group. These arrangements provide us with a greater
array of worldwide distribution options for our bands. We intend to continue to promote Volcom Entertainment as an enhancement to our brand.

Film

We produce skateboarding, snowboarding and surfing films that
feature our sponsored athletes through Veeco Productions, our film production division. We started this division in 1993, and believe that our films, like our music, are an integral part of our marketing and branding efforts.

Veeco has produced over 15 films including Alive We Ride, The Garden, Subjekt: Haakonsen, Magnaplasm, Chichagof, The Bruce Movie, BS!,
Escrambleand9191. Our films have been critically acclaimed and have won awards such as Best Core Film at the X-Dance Film Festival, Best Cinematography for a Snow Movie at the Unvailed Band and Board Event, Surfer Magazines Video
of the Year and Surfer Magazines Video Award for Best Performance by a Male Surfer (Bruce Irons  twice). In our films, we feature Volcom team riders such as Geoff Rowley, Terje Haakonsen, Gigi Ruff and Bruce Irons wearing Volcom
branded products, which emphasizes our boardsports heritage and close association with leading boardsports athletes. Our films are distributed to our retail customers, as well as music and video stores.

In 2008, Veeco Productions entered into distribution deals with iTunes and Fuel TV. Currently, we sell four movies on iTunes and have
produced and released multiple movies specifically for Fuel TV.

Featured Artist Series

In 1995, we introduced the Volcom Featured Artist Series. This series was developed to showcase the artistic depth of our brand. We
produce t-shirts and other products featuring the artwork of team riders, employees and other talented artists affiliated with us and the action sports community. The art created by our featured artists has been shown in art shows around the world,
including exclusive exhibits at some of our company-owned retail stores. The Volcom Featured Artist Series is important to our brand and differentiates us from our competition.

The Volcom Pipehouse

In February 2007, we purchased one of the most famous houses in surfing history directly in front of the Pipeline surf break on the North
Shore of Oahu, Hawaii, commonly referred to as the Pipehouse. This house is our second residence in front of the world renowned Pipeline surf break. This home is the headquarters for top Volcom team riders and is also used as a research and
development center for product design and testing and retailer roundtables. The original Volcom house will continue to accommodate the majority of Volcoms domestic and international up-and-coming team riders and serve as a marketing location
throughout the year. We believe these two properties provide Volcom with a unique global marketing platform.

Online
Marketing

Our website, located at www.volcom.com, serves as an additional medium for us to communicate our
brand message. Visitors to our website are able to view our line of apparel and accessories, read news releases, learn about our team riders and view information about our Volcom branded events. In addition, our website offers a directory of our
traditional, store-based retailers. As a means to further connect with our core consumers, we allow visitors to sign-up for email distributions of periodic news releases as well as updates on our product line, team riders and Volcom branded events.
Information contained on our website does not constitute part of, nor is it incorporated into, this Form 10-K.

Competition

We compete globally with companies of various size and scale, many of whom are significantly larger than we are and have
substantially greater resources than we have. We believe our most significant direct competitors currently include Quiksilver, Inc., including the Quiksilver, Roxy and DC brands; Billabong International Limited, including the Billabong, RVCA and
Element brands; Burton; and Nike, including several Nike related brands and Hurley. We also compete with smaller companies that focus on one or more boardsport segments. The boardsports market is susceptible to rapid changes in consumer preferences,
which could affect acceptance of our products.

We compete primarily on the basis of successful brand management and
recognition, marketing and product design, style, performance and quality. We believe that we compete favorably with our competitors on these bases, although because several of our competitors are companies with greater resources than we have, they
have been able to allocate these resources toward brand building and marketing programs that are greater in scope and size than ours. In order to further our success and continued growth we believe it will be necessary to:



| |  |  | maintain our reputation as a popular lifestyle brand among the skateboarding, snowboarding and surfing community and others who associate themselves
with the action sports youth lifestyle;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | continue to develop and respond to global fashion and lifestyle trends in our target market;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | advance our brand as an authentic, anti-establishment brand while continuing to grow as a global business;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | design stylish, high-quality products at appropriate prices for our target market; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | continue to convey our lifestyle message to our target market worldwide.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Principal Customers

In 2010, 2009 and 2008, 18%, 20% and 28%,
respectively, of our product revenues were derived from our five largest customers. Other than Pacific Sunwear, which accounted for 10%, 11% and 16% of our product revenues in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, no single customer accounted for more
than 10% of our product revenues during 2010, 2009 or 2008. We believe that revenues from our five largest accounts, including Pacific Sunwear, will continue to decrease as a percentage of our overall revenues as we continue to diversify our account
base and expand internationally.

Credit and Collection

We extend credit to our customers based on an assessment of a customers financial condition, generally without requiring collateral. To assist in the scheduling of production and the shipping of
products within our snow category, consistent with industry practice, we offer customers discounts for placing pre-season orders and extended payment terms for taking delivery before the peak shipping season. These extended payment terms increase
our exposure to the risk of uncollectible receivables. However, throughout the year, we perform credit evaluations of our customers, and we adjust credit limits based on payment history and the customers creditworthiness. We continually
monitor our collections and maintain a reserve for estimated credit losses based on our historical experience and any specific customer collections issues that are identified. While such credit losses have historically been within our expectations
and reserves, we cannot assure you that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates we have experienced in the past.

Intellectual Property

We own the Volcom and Volcom Stone Design trademarks and various combinations of these marks in approximately 100 countries around the
world, along with several issued and pending patents in the United States, Canada, China, Europe, Japan and Australia. We also own the Electric and Electric Volt logo trademarks in more than 20 countries around the world, as well as several
design patent registrations in the United States. Our pending and registered trademarks in the United States and other nations are primarily used on apparel and related accessories, sunglasses, goggles and for retail services. We also apply for and
register our Volcom Entertainment and Veeco Productions trademarks in the United States and internationally mainly for use with our music and film products. We also register additional trademarks related to product names, marketing and events
throughout the world. We believe our trademarks and registered trademarks and our other intellectual property are crucial to the successful marketing and sale of our products, and we attempt to vigorously prosecute and defend our rights throughout
the world. Each trademark registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has a duration of 10 years and is subject to an indefinite number of renewals for a like period upon appropriate application. Trademarks registered outside of the
United States typically have a duration of between seven and 14 years depending upon the jurisdiction and are also generally subject to an indefinite number of renewals for a like period upon appropriate application.

Government Regulation

Our products are subject to governmental health safety regulations in most countries where they are sold, including the United States, the
European Union and Australia, as well as import duties and tariffs on products being imported into countries outside of the United States. In addition, we are subject to various state and Federal regulations generally applicable to similar
businesses. We regularly inspect our production techniques and standards for compliance with applicable requirements including the Customs Trade Partnership Act Against Terrorism.

Management Information Systems

We use an integrated software package for
substantially all of our operations. The software package is specifically designed for apparel distributors and producers. This software package is used for stock keeping unit, or SKU, management and classification inventory tracking, purchase order
management, merchandise distribution, automated ticket generation, general ledger functions, sales auditing, accounts payable management and integrated financial management. The system provides summary data for all departments and a daily executive
summary report used by management to observe business and financial trends.

Employees

We believe our employees are among our most valuable resources and have been an important part of our success. As of December 31,
2010, we had a total of 543 full-time employees worldwide. We are not party to any labor agreements and none of our employees are represented by a labor union. We consider our relationship with our employees to be excellent and have never
experienced a work stoppage.

|ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS
|-------- | ------------

Before deciding to purchase, hold or sell our common stock, you should carefully consider the risks described below in addition to the other cautionary statements and risks described elsewhere, and the
other information contained, in this Report and in our other filings with the SEC, including our subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and
uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business. If any of these known or unknown risks or uncertainties actually occurs with material adverse effects on us, our business, financial condition
and results of operations could be seriously harmed. In that event, the market price for our common stock will likely decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Fluctuations in the price, availability and quality of raw materials and finished goods could increase costs and cause service
delays.

Fluctuations in the price, availability and quality of fabrics or other raw materials used to make our
products could have a material adverse effect on our cost of goods sold and our ability to meet our customers demands. The prices for fabrics depend on demand and market prices for the raw materials used to produce them, particularly cotton.
The price and availability of such raw materials may fluctuate significantly, depending on many factors, including crop yields and weather patterns. We may not be able to pass higher costs on to our customers, which could have a material adverse
effect on our operations and financial condition.

The current global economic environment coupled with cyclical
economic trends in apparel retailing could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

The apparel
industry historically has been subject to substantial cyclicality. As the economic conditions in the global economy have deteriorated during the past several years, discretionary consumer spending has declined. The current global economic slowdown
may result in lower than expected orders of our products and put negative pressure on our gross margins due to the promotional environment. Reduced sales by our wholesale customers may lead to lower retail inventory levels, reduced orders from
suppliers like Volcom, or order cancelations. Reduced sales by some of our wholesale customers, along with the possibility of their reduced access to, or inability to access, the credit markets, may result in various retailers experiencing
significant financial difficulties. Financial difficulties of customers could result in reduced sales to those customers or could result in store closures, bankruptcies or liquidations. Higher credit risk relating to receivables from customers
experiencing financial difficulty may result. Many of our retail customers, including Pacific Sunwear, have reported negative same store sales growth comparisons and difficult holiday seasons. The economic downturn in the United States, European and
broader global economy or continued uncertainties regarding future economic prospects could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We may be adversely affected by the financial condition of our retailers.

Some of our retailers have experienced financial difficulties as a result of the recent economic environment and the related decline in discretionary consumer spending. A retailer experiencing such
difficulties will generally not purchase and sell as many of our products as it would under normal circumstances and may cancel orders. We extend credit to our retailers based on our assessment of the retailers financial condition, generally
without requiring collateral. A retailer experiencing financial difficulties generally increases our exposure to the risk of uncollectible receivables. While such credit losses have historically been within our expectations and reserves, we cannot
assure you that this will continue. In addition, product sales are dependent in part on retailers continuing investments in high quality merchandising and in creating appealing store environments which attract consumers. Retailers who experience
financial difficulties may reduce, delay, or cease making such investments, which may result in lower sales of our products. Such financial difficulties on the part of our retailers could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations
and financial condition.

Consolidation amongst our retail customers or changes in the mix of our retailers
could impact our revenue, gross margin and brand image, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We sell our products through a mix of retailers, including specialty boardsports retailers and retail chains. Consolidation amongst our retail customers or changes in the mix of our retailers, including
the growth of online retailers and other brands purchasing third party retailers, could adversely affect our revenue, gross margin and our reputation with our consumers. A negative change in our revenue, gross margin or our brand image and
acceptance could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

If we are
required to establish new manufacturing relationships due to the termination of current key manufacturing relationships with large contractors such as Ningbo Jehson Textiles and Dragon Crowd, we would likely experience increased costs, disruptions
in the manufacture and shipment of our products and a loss of revenue.

Our manufacturers could cease to provide
products to us with little or no notice. We also understand that some factories in China, where we produced approximately 63% of our goods in 2010, are closing due to rising costs and an inability to operate at a profit. If factories where we
produce goods were to close or stop producing goods for us, it could result in delayed deliveries to our retailers, could adversely impact our revenues in a given season and could require the establishment of new manufacturing relationships. The
establishment of new manufacturing relationships involves numerous uncertainties, such as whether the new manufacturers will perform to our expectations and produce quality products in a timely, cost-efficient manner on a consistent basis, either of
which could make it difficult for us to meet our retailers orders on satisfactory commercial terms. Furthermore, purchases from two contractors, Dragon Crowd and Ningbo Jehson Textiles, totaled approximately 17% and 16%, respectively, of our
product costs in 2010 and 2009. The loss of either of these manufacturers would likely require us to establish new manufacturing relationships, which would likely cause increased costs, disruptions in the manufacture and shipment of our products and
a corresponding loss of revenues.

Our profitability may decline as a result of increasing pressure on margins.

The apparel industry is subject to significant pricing pressure caused by many factors, including increasing
production costs, intense competition, consolidation in the retail industry, pressure from retailers to reduce the costs of products and changes in consumer demand. These factors may cause our costs of goods sold to increase and could cause us to
reduce our sales prices to retailers and consumers, which could each cause our gross margin to decline if we are unable to offset increased costs or price reductions. Even if we do offset these cost increases with price increases, it is unclear
whether consumers will purchase the products that we increased the price on. This could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We do not have long-term contracts with any of our retailers, and the loss of orders for our products from our retailers may have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

We do not maintain long-term contracts with any of our retailers, and retailers generally purchase products from us on
a purchase order basis. As a result, our retailers generally may, with little or no notice or penalty, decide to cease ordering and selling our products, or could materially reduce their orders in any period. If certain retailers, individually or in
the aggregate, choose to no longer sell our products, it may be difficult for us to change our distribution to other retailers in a timely manner, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Any shortage of raw materials could impair our ability to ship orders of our products in a cost-efficient manner or
could cause us to miss the delivery requirements of our customers, which could harm our business.

The capacity of our
manufacturers to manufacture our products is dependent, in part, upon the availability of raw materials. Our manufacturers may experience shortages of raw materials, which could result in delays in



16

##### Table of Contents

deliveries of our products by our manufacturers or in increased costs to us. Any shortage of raw materials or inability to control costs associated with manufacturing could increase the costs for
our products or impair our ability to ship orders of our products in a cost-efficient manner and could cause us to miss the delivery requirements of our customers. As a result, we could experience cancellation of orders, refusal to accept deliveries
or a reduction in our prices and margins, any of which could harm our financial performance and results of operations.

Any inability to receive timely deliveries from our manufacturers could harm our business.

We face the risk that the manufacturers with whom we contract to produce our products may not produce and deliver our products on a timely
basis or at all. Our products are generally produced by independent, foreign manufacturers. We cannot be certain that we will not experience operational difficulties with our manufacturers, such as reductions in the availability of production
capacity, errors in complying with product specifications, insufficient quality control, failures to meet production deadlines or increases in manufacturing costs. The failure of any manufacturer to perform to our expectations could result in supply
shortages or untimely deliveries of certain products, either of which could harm our business.

Our results of
operations could be materially harmed if we are unable to accurately forecast demand for our products.

We often place
orders for products with independent manufacturers before our customers orders are firm. Therefore, if we fail to accurately forecast customer demand, we may experience excess inventory levels or a shortage of product to deliver to our
customers. Factors that could affect our ability to accurately forecast demand for our products include:



| |  |  | An increase or decrease in consumer demand for our products or for products of our competitors;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our failure to accurately forecast customer acceptance of new season and new style products;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | New product introductions by competitors;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | Unanticipated changes in general market conditions or other factors, which may result in cancellations of orders or a reduction or increase in the rate
of reorders placed by retailers; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Weak economic conditions or consumer confidence, which could reduce our projected demand for our products.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inventory levels in excess of customer demand may result in inventory write-downs and the sale of excess inventory at discounted prices,
which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. On the other hand, if we underestimate demand for our products, our third party manufacturers may not be able to produce products to meet customer requirements,
and this could result in delays in the shipment of products and lost revenues, as well as damage to our reputation and customer relationships. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully manage inventory levels to exactly meet
future order and reorder requirements.

Our business could be harmed if we fail to maintain proper inventory levels.

We have traditionally received a substantial portion of our customer orders prior to placement of our initial
manufacturing orders. However, we also maintain an inventory of selected core products that we anticipate will be in high demand, such as t-shirts. We may be unable to sell the products we have ordered in advance from manufacturers or that we have
in our inventory. The current economic environment has made accurate projecting of inventory levels increasingly challenging. Inventory levels in excess of customer demand may result in inventory write-downs, or the sale of excess inventory at
discounted or close-out prices, all of which could adversely affect our gross margins. These events could significantly harm our operating results and impair our

brand image. Conversely, if we underestimate consumer demand for our products or if our manufacturers fail to supply quality products in a timely manner, we may experience inventory shortages.
Inventory shortages might result in unfilled orders, negatively impact retailer relationships, diminish brand loyalty and result in lost revenues, any of which could harm our business.

If we are unable to successfully integrate the operations of Electric or our other acquisitions, including our Australian, Japanese
and UK territories, our business and earnings may be negatively affected.

We occasionally consider and, as we believe
appropriate, make acquisitions that we believe are complementary to our business. Acquisitions involve significant integration efforts. Successful integration of an acquired company will depend primarily on our ability to consolidate operations,
systems, procedures, properties and personnel. Acquisitions also pose other risks commonly associated with similar transactions, including unanticipated liabilities, unexpected costs and the diversion of managements attention to the
integration. We cannot assure you that we will be able to integrate an acquired companys operations without encountering difficulties including, but not limited to, the loss of key employees, the disruption of its respective ongoing businesses
or possible inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies. If we have difficulties integrating an acquired company, we might not achieve the economic benefits we expect to result from the acquisition, and this may hurt our business
and earnings. In addition, we may experience greater than expected costs or difficulties relating to the integration of a business and may not realize expected benefits from the acquisition within the expected time frame, if at all.

Our international operations involve inherent risks which could result in harm to our business.

We currently source the majority of our products from third-party manufacturers located outside of the United States, primarily in China
and Mexico, and a considerable portion of our revenues are derived from product sales outside of the United States. Accordingly, we are subject to the risks generally associated with global trade and doing business abroad, which include foreign laws
and regulations, varying consumer preferences across geographic regions, political unrest, disruptions or delays in cross-border shipments and changes in economic conditions in countries in which we manufacture or sell products. In addition, disease
outbreaks, terrorist acts and military conflict have increased the risks of doing business abroad. These factors, among others, could affect our ability to manufacture products or procure materials, our ability to import products, our ability to
sell products in international markets, and our cost of doing business. If any of these or other factors make the conduct of business in a particular country undesirable or impractical, our business could be adversely affected. In addition, many of
our imported products are subject to duties, tariffs or quotas that affect the cost and quantity of various types of goods imported into the United States and other countries. Any country in which our products are produced or sold may eliminate,
adjust or impose new quotas, duties, tariffs, safeguard measures, anti-dumping duties, cargo restrictions to prevent terrorism, restrictions on the transfer of currency, or other charges or restrictions, any of which could have an adverse effect on
our results of operations and financial condition.

One retail customer represents a material amount of our revenues,
and the loss of this retail customer or reduced purchases from this retail customer may have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

Pacific Sunwear accounted for approximately 10% of our product revenues in 2010 and approximately 11% in 2009. We do not have a long-term contract with Pacific Sunwear, and all of its purchases from us
have historically been on a purchase order basis. Sales to Pacific Sunwear increased 4%, or $1.1 million, for 2010 compared to 2009. We recognize that any customer concentration creates risks and we are, therefore, assessing strategies to
lessen our concentration with Pacific Sunwear. We cannot predict whether such strategies will reduce, in whole or in part, our sales concentration with Pacific Sunwear in the near or long term. Because Pacific Sunwear has represented such a
significant amount of our product revenues, our results of operations are likely to be adversely affected by any Pacific Sunwear decision to decrease its rate of purchases of our products. A continuing decrease in its purchases of our products, a
cancellation of orders of our products or a change in the timing of its orders will have an adverse affect on our operating results.

If we are unable to continue to develop innovative and stylish products, demand for
our products may decrease and our brand image may be harmed.

The boardsports apparel industry is subject to constantly
and rapidly changing consumer preferences based on fashion trends and performance features. Our success depends largely on our ability to anticipate, gauge and respond to these changing consumer demands and fashion trends in a timely manner while
preserving the relevancy and authenticity of our brand. In addition, we generally make decisions regarding product designs several months in advance of the time when consumer acceptance can be measured.

Our success is largely dependent upon our ability to continue to develop innovative and stylish products. As is typical with new
products, market acceptance of new designs and products we may introduce is subject to uncertainty. We cannot assure you that our efforts will be successful. The failure of new product designs or new product lines to gain market acceptance could
adversely affect our business and our brand image. Achieving market acceptance for new products may also require substantial marketing efforts and expenditures to expand consumer demand. These requirements could strain our management, financial and
operational resources. If we do not continue to develop stylish and innovative products that provide better design and performance attributes than the products of our competitors and that are accepted by consumers, we may lose consumer loyalty,
which could result in a decline in our revenues and market share.

As a result of our acquisition of Electric, we face
greater challenges in managing an additional brand and related products.

While we believe that we have significant
experience in managing our clothing, accessories and related products with the Volcom brand name and their respective channels of distribution, with our acquisition of Electric, we have further penetrated the action sports industry and have added a
second brand and additional product categories. If we are unable to effectively manage our multiple product lines, our profitability and cash flow may be reduced and our brand image and reputation could be harmed.

If our marketing efforts do not effectively maintain and expand our brand name recognition, we may not be able to achieve our
growth strategy.

We believe that broader recognition and favorable perception of our brand by consumers in our target
market is essential to our future success. To increase brand recognition, we believe we must continue to devote significant amounts of time and resources to advertising and promotions. These expenditures, however, may not result in an increase in
favorable recognition of our brand or a sufficient increase in revenues to cover such advertising and promotional expenses. In addition, even if our brand recognition increases, our consumer base and our revenues may not increase, and may in fact
decline, either of which could harm our business.

Our ability to attract and retain qualified design and sales and
marketing personnel is critical to our success, and any inability to attract and retain such personnel could harm our business.

Our future success may also depend on our ability to attract and retain additional qualified design and sales and marketing personnel. We face competition for these individuals worldwide, and there is a
significant concentration of boardsports apparel and action sports companies based in and around our global headquarters in Orange County, California, and our international headquarters. We may not be able to attract or retain these employees, which
could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We face business, political, operational, financial and economic risks because a
portion of our revenues are from international customers, substantially all of our products are sourced overseas and our licensees operate outside of the United States.

We and our international licensees are subject to risks inherent in international business, many of which are beyond our and our licensees control, including:



| |  |  | difficulties obtaining domestic and foreign export, import and other governmental approvals, permits and licenses, and compliance with foreign laws,
which could halt, interrupt or delay our operations if we cannot obtain such approvals, permits and licenses;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties encountered by our international licensees or us in staffing and managing foreign operations or international sales;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | transportation delays and difficulties of managing international distribution channels;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | longer payment cycles for, and greater difficulty collecting, accounts receivable and royalty payments;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | trade restrictions, higher tariffs, currency fluctuations or the imposition of additional regulations relating to import or export of our products,
especially in China, where a large portion of our products are manufactured, which could force us to seek alternate manufacturing sources or increase our expenses;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, royalties and withholding taxes that restrict the repatriation of earnings and effects on our effective
income tax rate due to profits generated or lost in foreign countries;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | political and economic instability, including weakening financial institutions, regional or global recessions, wars, terrorism, political unrest,
boycotts, curtailment of trade and other business restrictions; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | natural disasters.
| | - |  | ------------------

Any of these factors could reduce our revenues, decrease our gross margins or increase our expenses and could materially adversely affect our revenues and results of operations. To the extent that we
establish our own operations in international territories where we have previously utilized a licensee, such as in Europe and Australia, we will increasingly become subject to risks associated with operating outside of the United States.

We may not be able to compete effectively, which could cause our revenues and market share to decline.

The boardsports apparel industry, and the apparel industry in general, is highly competitive. We compete with numerous domestic and
foreign designers, distributors, marketers and manufacturers of apparel, accessories and other related products, some of which are significantly larger and have greater resources than we do. We believe that in order to compete effectively, we must
continue to maintain our brand image and reputation, be flexible and innovative in responding to rapidly changing market demands and consumer preferences, and offer consumers a wide variety of high-quality apparel at premium prices. We compete
primarily on the basis of brand image, style, performance and quality.

The purchasing decisions of consumers are highly
subjective and can be influenced by many factors, such as brand image, marketing programs and product design. Several of our competitors enjoy substantial competitive advantages, including greater brand recognition, longer operating histories, more
comprehensive product lines and greater financial resources for competitive activities, such as sales and marketing and strategic acquisitions. The number of our direct competitors and the intensity of competition may increase as we expand into
other product lines or as other companies expand into our product lines. Our competitors may enter into business combinations or alliances that strengthen their competitive positions or prevent us from taking advantage of such combinations or
alliances. Our competitors also may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, standards or consumer preferences, which could result in a decline in our revenues and market share.

If we are unable to maintain and expand our endorsements by professional athletes, our
ability to market and sell our products may be harmed.

A key element of our marketing strategy has been to obtain
endorsements from prominent boardsports athletes, which contributes to our authenticity and brand image. We believe that this strategy has been an effective means of gaining brand exposure worldwide and creating broad appeal for our products. We
cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our existing relationships with these individuals in the future or that we will be able to attract new athletes to endorse our products. Larger companies with greater access to capital for athlete
sponsorship may in the future increase the cost of sponsorship for these athletes to levels we may choose not to match. If this were to occur, our sponsored athletes may terminate their relationships with us and endorse the products of our
competitors and we may be unable to obtain endorsements from other comparable athletes.

We also are subject to risks related
to the selection of athletes to endorse our products. We may select athletes who are unable to perform at expected levels or who are not sufficiently marketable. In addition, negative publicity concerning any of our athletes could harm our brand and
adversely impact our business. If we are unable in the future to secure prominent athletes and arrange athlete endorsements of our products on terms we deem to be reasonable, we may be required to modify our marketing platform and to rely more
heavily on other forms of marketing and promotion, which may not prove to be as effective.

The market price of our
common stock is highly volatile and may result in investors selling shares of our common stock at a loss.

The trading
price of our common stock is highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:



| |  |  | actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | conditions or trends in the fashion and boardsports industries; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in the market valuations of similar companies.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------

In addition, the stock market in general and the NASDAQ in particular have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance
of listed companies. Industry factors may seriously harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market, securities class-action litigation has often been
instituted against companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and diversion of managements attention and resources and could further a decline in the market price of our common stock. Stock price
volatility may result in investors selling shares of our common stock at a loss.

If we fail to comply with federal or
state consumer product laws, it could materially affect our gross margin and financial performance.

With the passage
of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 and similar state laws, such as Californias Proposition 65, there are new requirements mandated for the textiles and apparel industries. These requirements relate to all metal and
painted trim items and certain other raw materials used in childrens apparel, as well as flammability standards in certain types of textiles. The Consumer Product Safety Commission, or CPSC, will require certification and testing for lead
in paint and metal trims, pointed or sharp edge items, Phthalates, and fabric flammability to meet the CPSCs limits. We will continue to monitor the situation and intend to abide by all rules and changes made by the CPSC and similar state
laws. This could have a negative impact on the cost of our goods and poses a potential risk if we do not adhere to these requirements.

Our balance sheet includes a significant amount of intangible assets and goodwill. A
decline in the estimated fair value of an intangible asset or of a reporting unit could result in an asset impairment charge, which would be recorded as an operating expense.

Under current accounting standards, we estimate the fair value of acquired assets, including intangible assets, and assumed liabilities
arising from a business acquisition. The excess, if any, of the cost of the acquired business over the fair value of net tangible assets acquired is allocated to intangible assets and goodwill.

At December 31, 2010, we had approximately $6.7 million of non-amortizing trademark and other non-amortizing intangible assets and
$1.6 million of goodwill on our balance sheet. These assets are not required to be amortized under current accounting rules. In addition, we had approximately $4.2 million of intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, that are being
amortized under current accounting rules. The combined amounts represent 5% of our total assets and 6% of total stockholders equity.

Goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets must be tested for impairment annually or in the event of an impairment indicator. We evaluate the recoverability of goodwill based on a two-step impairment
test. The first step compares the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, then the second step of the impairment test is performed to measure the amount of any
impairment loss. Fair value is determined based on estimated future cash flows, discounted at a rate that approximates our cost of capital. Intangible assets that are being amortized must be tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances
indicate that their carrying value might not be recoverable.

The fair value of a reporting unit could decline if forecasted
revenues or cash flows were to be lower in the future due to effects of causes such as a global recession. If the carrying value of intangible assets or of goodwill were to exceed its fair value, the asset would be written down to its fair value,
with the impairment loss recognized as a noncash charge. In 2009, we had impairment charges of $0.1 million associated with the intangible assets related to Volcom Europe, Electric and Laguna Surf & Sport. In 2008, we had impairment charges
of $16.2 million associated with the goodwill and intangible assets related to Electric and Laguna Surf & Sport. A significant reduction in the estimated future cash flows could result in additional impairment losses, which could have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
rates could harm our results of operations.

We are exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates relating to certain sales and product purchases of our international subsidiaries that are denominated in currencies other than their functional currencies. We are also exposed to foreign currency gains and losses resulting
from domestic transactions that are not denominated in U.S. dollars (primarily sales of goods to Canada, collection of receivables denominated in Canadian dollars, licensing revenues and purchases of sunglasses in Euro). As part of our overall
strategy to manage the level of exposure to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, we entered into forward exchange contracts to hedge a portion of our European and Australian operations U.S. dollar denominated inventory
purchases. If we are unsuccessful in using various foreign currency exchange contracts our profits and cash flows could be significantly reduced. In some cases, as part of our risk management strategies, we may choose not to hedge our exposure to
foreign currency exchange rate changes. If we misjudge these risks, there could be a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial position.

Furthermore, we are exposed to gains and losses resulting from the effect that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have on the reported results in our consolidated financial statements due to
the translation of the statements of operations and balance sheets of our international subsidiaries into U.S. dollars. We have not used foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge the profit and loss effects of this translation effect. We
translate our revenues and expenses at average exchange rates during the period. As a result, the reported revenues and expenses of our international subsidiaries would decrease if the U.S. dollar increased in value in relation to other currencies,
including the Euro, Australian dollar, Swiss Franc, British pound or Japanese yen.

If we fail to secure or protect our intellectual property rights, counterfeiters may
be able to copy and sell imitations of our products and competitors may be able to use our designs, each of which could harm our reputation, reduce our revenues and increase our costs.

We rely on intellectual property laws to protect our proprietary rights with respect to our trademarks and pending patents. We are
susceptible to injury from the counterfeiting of our products, which may harm our reputation for producing high-quality products or force us to incur additional expense in enforcing our rights. It is difficult and expensive to detect and prevent
counterfeiting. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property, counterfeiters may continue to violate our intellectual property rights by using our trademarks and imitating our products, which could potentially harm our brand, reputation
and financial condition.

Since our products are sold internationally, we are also dependent on the laws of foreign countries
to protect our intellectual property. These laws may not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent or in the same manner as the laws of the United States. We cannot be certain that our efforts to protect our intellectual property will
be successful or that the costs associated with protecting our rights abroad will not negatively impact our results of operations. We may face significant expenses and liability in connection with the protection of our intellectual property rights
both inside and outside of the United States. Infringement claims and lawsuits likely would be expensive to resolve and would require substantial management time and resources. Any adverse determination in litigation could subject us to the loss of
our rights to a particular trademark, which could prevent us from manufacturing, selling or using certain aspects of our products or could subject us to substantial liability, any of which would harm our results of operations. Aside from
infringement claims against us, if we fail to secure or protect our intellectual property rights, our competitors may be able to use our designs. If we are unable to successfully protect our intellectual property rights or resolve any conflicts, our
results of operations may be harmed.

Our current executive officers and management personnel are important to our
success, and the loss of these individuals could harm our business, brand and image.

We are dependent on our current
executive officers and management. The loss of any executive officers or management personnel, or the inability to attract or retain qualified personnel, could delay the development and introduction of, and harm our ability to sell, our products and
damage our brand image. We have not entered into employment agreements with our current executive officers and we cannot be certain that they will stay with us. Their services may be difficult to replace. We do not carry key man insurance and do not
expect to carry such insurance in the future. We may not be able to retain our current executive officers and management personnel, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our business could suffer if any of our or our licensees key manufacturers fails to use acceptable labor practices.

It is difficult to monitor and control the labor practices of our independent manufacturers. The violation of labor or
other laws by an independent manufacturer utilized by us or a licensee of ours, or the divergence of an independent manufacturers or licensing partners labor practices from those generally accepted as ethical in the United States, could
damage our reputation or interrupt, or otherwise disrupt the shipment of finished products to us or our licensees if such manufacturer is ordered to cease its manufacturing operations due to violations of laws or if such manufacturers
operations are adversely affected by such failure to use acceptable labor practices. If this were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our revenues and operating income fluctuate on a seasonal basis and decreases in sales or margins during our peak seasons could
have a disproportionate effect on our overall financial condition and results of operations.

Historically, our
operating results have been subject to seasonal trends when measured on a quarterly basis. In the past, we have experienced greater revenues in the second half of the year than those in the first half due to

a concentration of shopping around the fall and holiday seasons, and pricing differences between our products sold during the first and second half of the year, as products we sell in the fall
and holiday seasons generally have higher prices per unit than products we sell in the spring and summer seasons. We typically sell more of our summer products (boardshorts, t-shirts and sunglasses) in the first half of the year and a majority of
our winter products (pants, long sleeve shirts, sweaters, fleece, jackets, outerwear and goggles) in the second half of the year. We anticipate that this seasonal impact on our revenues is likely to continue. Additionally, our business in Europe is
extremely seasonal with revenues concentrated primarily in the first and third quarters, shipment of low margin samples concentrated in the second and fourth quarters, and a relatively steady pace of selling, general and administrative expenses
throughout the year. Because a substantial portion of our operating income is derived from our third and fourth quarter revenues, a shortfall in expected third and fourth quarter revenues would cause our annual operating results to suffer
significantly.

If the ownership of our common stock continues to be highly concentrated, it may prevent you and other
stockholders from influencing significant corporate decisions and may result in conflicts of interest that could cause our stock price to decline.

As of December 31, 2010, our executive officers, directors and their affiliates beneficially own or control approximately 17.1% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, of which René
Woolcott and Richard Woolcott own approximately 4.9% and 10.6%, respectively, of the 24,415,780 outstanding shares. Accordingly, our current executive officers, directors and their affiliates, acting as a group, will have substantial control over
the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets or any other significant corporate transactions. These stockholders may
also delay or prevent a change of control of us, even if such a change of control would benefit our other stockholders. The significant concentration of stock ownership may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock due to
investors perception that conflicts of interest may exist or arise.

We do not currently anticipate paying any
additional cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements and such
other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.

Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

We did not sell any unregistered equity securities or purchase any of our securities during the period ended

|ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated
financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements due to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those risks discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors and elsewhere in this Form 10-K. Those risk factors expressly qualify all
subsequent oral and written forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf. We do not have any intention or obligation to update forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-K after the date of this
Form 10-K, except as required by law.

Overview

We are an innovative designer, marketer and distributor of premium quality young mens and young womens clothing, footwear, accessories and related products under the Volcom brand name. We seek to offer
products that appeal to participants in skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing and motocross, and those who affiliate themselves with the broader action sports lifestyle. Our products, which include, among others, t-shirts, fleece, bottoms, tops,
jackets, boardshorts, denim, outerwear, sandals, girls swimwear and a complete collection of kids and boys clothing, combine fashion, functionality and athletic performance. We develop and introduce products that we believe set the industry standard
for style and quality in each of our product categories.

In 2008, we acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of
Electric Visual Evolution LLC, or Electric. Known for its Volt logo, Electric is a core action sports lifestyle brand. Electrics growing product line includes sunglasses, goggles, t-shirts, bags, hats, belts and other accessories. Electric is
headquartered in Orange County, California. In 2008, we also acquired the assets of Laguna Surf & Sport, a California-based retail chain currently operating two retail stores.

As part of our strategy to take direct control of our international operations, we established our own direct operations in Europe and
delivered our first full season product line during the third quarter of 2007. We furthered our international expansion in 2008 by completing the acquisition of our distributor of Volcom branded products in Japan. In 2009, we took direct control of
the Volcom brand in the United Kingdom. In August 2010, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Volcom Australia, a licensee of the Companys products located in Australia. In October 2010, we entered into an agreement for the
transition and sale of certain assets of our distributor of Volcom branded products in Spain, whereby we will take direct control of the Spain territory beginning with the delivery of the Fall 2011 product line, which will begin shipping in
approximately July 2011.

Volcom branded products are currently sold throughout the United States and in over 40 countries
internationally by either us or international licensees. We serve the United States, Europe, Canada, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, Asia Pacific and Puerto Rico through our in-house sales personnel, independent sales representatives and
distributors. In these areas, Volcom branded products are sold to retailers that we believe merchandise our products in an environment that supports and reinforces our brand image and provide a superior in-store experience. Our retail customers are
primarily specialty boardsports retailers, several retail chains and select department stores.

In Indonesia, South Africa
(including Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho and Swaziland), Brazil and Argentina (including Paraguay and Uruguay), we license the Volcom brand to entities that we believe have local market insight and strong relationships with retailers in their
respective territories. We receive royalties on the sales of Volcom branded products sold by our licensees. Our license agreements specify quality, design, marketing and distribution standards for the Volcom branded products distributed by our
licensees. Our licensees are not controlled and operated by us, and the amount of our licensing revenues could decrease in the future. As these license agreements expire, we may assume direct responsibility for serving these licensed territories.
With the

completion of the acquisition of Volcom Australia effective August 1, 2010, we experienced a decrease in our licensing revenues effective as of the date of the acquisition, and an increase
in selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the operations of Volcom Australia. However, our product revenues should increase in Australia as we have begun to directly sell our products in this territory.

Our revenues increased from $205.3 million in 2006 to $323.2 million in 2010. In 2007, we began direct distribution of our
product in Europe, which has contributed to our increase in sales. The operations of Electric have been included in our operating results since 2008, which also contributed to our increase in revenues. Additionally, we began to directly distribute
our product in Japan in 2008 and in Australia in 2010. Based upon our experience and consumer reaction to our products and brand image, we believe that the increase in our revenues from 2006 to 2010 also resulted from increased brand recognition and
growing acceptance of our products at existing retail accounts. We believe that our marketing programs, product designs and product quality, and our relationships with our retailers contributed to this increased demand and market penetration. In
addition, several of our largest retailers have opened additional stores and those store openings likely have contributed to an increase in our product revenues; however, period-over-period increases in our product revenues as judged solely by
additional store openings by our largest retailers may not be a useful or accurate measure of revenue increases because our products may not be carried in every new store. Growth of our revenues will depend in part on the demand for our products by
consumers, our ability to effectively distribute our products and our ability to design products consistent with the changing fashion interests of boardsports participants and those who affiliate themselves with the broader action sports youth
lifestyle.

Our gross margins are affected by our ability to accurately forecast demand and avoid excess inventory by matching
purchases of finished goods to orders, which decreases our percentage of sales at discount or close-out prices. Gross margins are also impacted by our ability to control our sourcing costs and, to a lesser extent, by changes in our product mix and
geographic distribution channel. Our gross margins have also historically been seasonal, with the first quarter typically having the highest margin. If we misjudge forecasting inventory levels or our sourcing costs increase and we are unable to
raise our prices, our gross margins may decline.

We currently source the majority of our products from third-party
manufacturers located primarily in China and Mexico. As a result, we may be adversely affected by the disruption of trade with these countries, the imposition of new regulations related to imports, duties, taxes and other charges on imports, and
decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies. We seek to mitigate the possible disruption in product flow by diversifying our manufacturing across numerous manufacturers and by using manufacturers in countries that we
believe to be politically stable. We do not enter into long-term contracts with our third-party manufacturers. Rather, we typically enter into contracts with each manufacturer to produce one or more product line for a particular selling season. This
strategy has enabled us to maintain flexibility in our sourcing.

Our products manufactured abroad are subject to
U.S. customs laws, which impose tariffs and duties on products being imported from other countries. Additionally, China offers a rebate tax on exports to control the amount of exports from China, which can affect our cost either positively or
negatively. These potential cost increases, along with the rising currency and labor shortages in China, may have an impact on our business. Beginning in 2010, there have been widespread labor shortages reported in China, which have adversely
impacted our product costs and deliveries. Additionally, wages and raw material costs have increased in China, which has caused price increases. Recently, the price of cotton has risen significantly compared to the same period last year. We have
addressed these issues by sourcing with other suppliers and adjusting our wholesale prices, where possible, to offset these increases. While we do not believe the limitations on imports from China will have a material effect on our operations, we
have begun sourcing more in other countries, such as India, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Mexico. We believe there will be increased pressure on costs going forward, and we intend to closely monitor our sourcing in China to avoid disruptions.

With the passage of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 and similar state laws, such as Californias Proposition 65,
there are new requirements mandated for the textiles and apparel industries. These



31

##### Table of Contents

requirements relate to all metal and painted trim items and certain other raw materials used in childrens apparel, as well as flammability standards in certain types of textiles. The
Consumer Product Safety Commission, or CPSC, will require certification and testing for lead in paint and metal trims, pointed or sharp edge items, Phthalates, and fabric flammability to meet the CPSCs limits. We will continue to monitor
the situation and intend to abide by all rules and changes made by the CPSC and similar state laws. This could have a negative impact on the cost of our goods and poses a potential risk if we do not adhere to these requirements.

Over the past five years, our selling, general and administrative expenses have increased on an absolute dollar basis as we have
increased our spending on marketing, advertising and promotions, strengthened our management team, hired additional personnel and made investments in new territories and initiatives. As a percentage of revenues, our selling, general and
administrative expenses have increased from 28.5% in 2006 to 39.8% in 2010. This increase was primarily due to additional expenses in the United States segment associated with growth and brand building initiatives, including costs associated with
our transition to a new warehouse facility in Irvine, California. In addition, we have made investments in our acquired distributors in Japan and the UK, which has increased our selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. To prepare these consolidated financial statements, we
must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. These estimates also affect our reported revenues and expenses. Judgments must also be made about the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual
results could be significantly different from these estimates. We believe that the following discussion addresses the accounting policies that are necessary to understand and evaluate our reported financial results.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized at the time transfer of title occurs and risk of ownership passes to the customer. None of our sales agreements with any of our customers provides for any rights of return.
However, we do approve returns on a case-by-case basis at our sole discretion to protect our brand and our image. We record an allowance for anticipated returns through a reduction in revenues in the period that the related revenues are
recorded. Sales returns allowances are estimated based upon historical returns, current economic trends, changes in customer demands and sell-through of products. Historically, our actual sales returns have not been materially different
from managements original estimates. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions used to calculate the allowance for sales returns. However, if the
actual sales returns are significantly different than the recorded estimated allowance, we may be exposed to losses or gains that could be material. For example, assuming there had been a 10% increase in our 2010 returns, pre-tax income for the
year ended December 31, 2010 would have been reduced by approximately $1.0 million.

Licensing revenues are recorded when
earned based on a stated percentage of the licensees sales of Volcom branded products.

Accounts Receivable

We extend credit to our customers and do not require collateral. Our payment terms are typically net-30 with terms up
to net-120 for certain products. Throughout the year, we perform credit evaluations of our customers, and we adjust credit limits based on payment history and the customers current creditworthiness. We continuously monitor our collections and
maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based on our historical experience of bad debts, current customer receivable balances, age of customer receivable balances, the customers financial condition, current economic trends and any specific
customer collection issues that have



32

been identified, all of which are subject to change. Historically, our losses associated with uncollectible accounts have been consistent with our estimates, but we cannot assure you that we
will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that we have experienced in the past. If the actual uncollected amounts significantly exceed the estimated allowance, our operating results would be adversely affected. Assuming there had
been a 10% increase in our 2010 allowance for doubtful accounts, pre-tax income for the year ended December 31, 2010 would have been reduced by approximately $0.4 million. Allowances for doubtful accounts are reported as a component of selling,
general and administrative expenses when they arise.

Inventories

We value inventories at the lower of the cost or the current estimated market value of the inventory. We regularly review our inventory
quantities on hand and adjust inventory values for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on estimated forecasts of product demand and market value. Demand for our products could fluctuate significantly. The demand for our products could be
negatively affected by many factors, including the following:



| |  |  | weak economic conditions;
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | changes in consumer preferences;
| | - |  | --------------------------------



| |  |  | buying patterns of our retailers;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------



| |  |  | retailers cancelling orders; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------



| |  |  | unseasonable weather.
| | - |  | ---------------------

Some events, including terrorist acts or threats and trade restrictions and safeguards, could also interrupt the production and importation of our products or otherwise increase the cost of our products.
Additionally, our estimates of product demand and market value could be inaccurate, which could result in excess or obsolete inventory. As a result, our operations and financial performance could be negatively affected. Assuming there had been a 10%
increase in our 2010 allowance for excess or obsolete inventory, our pre-tax income for the year ended December 31, 2010 would have been reduced by $0.2 million.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

We account for goodwill and
intangible assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 350, Goodwill  Intangibles and Other. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually and also
in the event of an impairment indicator. We evaluate the recoverability of goodwill based on a two-step impairment test. The first step compares the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying
amount exceeds the fair value, then the second step of the impairment test is performed to measure the amount of any impairment loss. Fair value is determined based on estimated future cash flows, discounted at a rate that approximates our cost of
capital. Such estimates are subject to change and we may be required to recognize an impairment loss in the future. Any impairment losses are reflected in operating income. In 2009, we recorded an impairment loss associated with the non-amortizing
intangible assets related to Volcom Europe. In 2008, we recorded an impairment loss associated with the goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets related to the 2008 acquisitions of Electric and Laguna Surf & Sport. See Note 7 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Long-Lived Assets

We acquire assets in the normal course of our business. We evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of these long-lived assets
(including fixed assets and other amortizable intangible assets) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying value exceeds
the undiscounted future cash flows

##### Table of Contents

estimated to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Impairments, if any, would be recognized in operating earnings. We continually use judgment when applying these impairment
rules to determine the timing of the impairment tests, the undiscounted cash flows used to assess impairments and the fair value of a potentially impaired asset. The reasonableness of our judgment could significantly affect the carrying value of our
long-lived assets. In 2009 and 2008, we recorded impairment losses associated with its amortizing intangible assets related to the 2008 acquisitions of Electric and Laguna Surf & Sport. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for further discussion.

Income Taxes

We record a provision and liability for federal, state and foreign income taxes using an annual effective tax rate. Deferred income taxes
are recorded at our effective tax rate. Managements judgment is required in assessing the realizability of our deferred tax assets. We consider future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the
value of our deferred tax assets. If we determine that it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized, we would reduce the value of these assets to their expected realizable value, thereby decreasing net income. Evaluating the
value of these assets is necessarily based on our judgment. If we subsequently determined that the deferred tax assets that had been written down would, in our judgment, be realized in the future, the value of the deferred tax assets would be
increased, thereby increasing net income in the period when that determination was made.

We account for contingent tax
liabilities under the provisions of guidance included in ASC 740, Income Taxes. The guidance included in ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. We must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on
the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation  Stock Compensation. We account for all stock-based compensation transactions using a fair-value method and
recognize the fair value of each award as an expense over the service period. The fair value of restricted stock awards is based upon the market price of our common stock at the grant date. We estimate the fair value of stock option awards, as of
the grant date, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes model requires that we make a number of estimates, including the expected option term, the expected volatility in the price of our common stock, the risk-free
rate of interest and the dividend yield on our common stock. If our expected option term and stock-price volatility assumptions were different, the resulting determination of the fair value of stock option awards could be materially different. In
addition, judgment is also required in estimating the number of share-based awards that we expect will ultimately vest upon the fulfillment of service conditions (such as time-based vesting). If the actual number of awards that ultimately vest
differs significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation expense and our results of operations could be materially impacted.

Foreign Currency Translation

We own international subsidiaries that
operate with the local currency as their functional currency. Our international subsidiaries generate revenues and collect receivables at future dates in the customers local currencies, and purchase inventory primarily in U.S. dollars.
Accordingly, we are exposed to gains and losses that result from the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on foreign currency denominated transactions. We enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge a portion of our European and
Australian operations U.S. dollar denominated inventory purchases. For all contracts that qualify as cash flow hedges, we record the changes in the fair value of the derivatives in other comprehensive income. Our assets and liabilities

that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate for the period.
Gains and losses from translation of foreign subsidiary financial statements are included in accumulated other comprehensive income.

A portion of our domestic sales are made in Canadian dollars. In addition, our Electric subsidiary purchases sunglass inventory in Euros. As a result, our domestic operations are exposed to transaction
gains and losses that result from movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in our assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange on the balance sheet date,
and are reflected in our statement of operations.

General

Our revenues consist of both our product revenues and our licensing revenues. Our product revenues are derived primarily from the sale of young mens and young womens clothing, accessories and related
products under the Volcom brand name. We offer Volcom branded apparel and accessory products in six main categories: mens, girls, boys, footwear, girls swim and snow. Product revenues also include revenues from music and film sales. We also offer
the full product line from Electric, which includes sunglasses, goggles, soft goods and other accessories sold under the Electric brand name. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included in product revenues. Licensing revenues
consist of royalties on product sales by our international licensees in Australia (through August 1, 2010), Indonesia, South Africa, Brazil and Argentina.

Our cost of goods sold consists primarily of product costs, retail packaging, freight costs associated with shipping goods to customers, quality control and inventory shrinkage. There is no cost of goods
sold associated with our licensing revenues.

Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of wages and
related payroll and employee benefit costs, handling costs, sales and marketing expenses, advertising costs, legal and accounting professional fees, insurance, utilities and other facility related costs, such as rent and depreciation.

Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2009

Revenues

Consolidated revenues in 2010 were $323.2 million, an increase of $42.6 million, or 15.2%, compared to $280.6 million in 2009. Revenues from our United States segment were $217.8 million in
2010, an increase of $29.0 million, or 15.3%, compared to $188.8 million in 2009. Revenues from our Europe segment were $70.2 million in 2010, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 0.6%, compared to $70.7 million in 2009. The primary functional currency of
our European operations is the Euro. On a Euro to Euro basis, revenues in our European segment increased approximately 4% in 2010 compared to 2009. Revenues from our Electric segment were $27.5 million in 2010, an increase of $6.4 million, or
30.3%, compared to $21.1 million in 2009. Revenues from our Australian segment, which was acquired on August 1, 2010, were $7.7 million in 2010. We believe our overall increase in revenues was driven primarily by strong sell-through of Volcom
and Electric products at retail, improved focus on product marketing, increased in-store merchandising efforts, and additional revenues associated with our recently acquired Australian licensee.

Revenues from our five largest customers were $57.3 million in 2010, an increase of $0.5 million, or 0.9%, compared to
$56.8 million in 2009. Excluding revenues from Pacific Sunwear, which increased $1.1 million, or 3.7%, to $31.1 million, total revenues from our remaining five largest customers decreased $0.6 million, or 2.2%, to $26.2 million in
2010 from $26.8 million in 2009.

Consolidated product revenues increased $42.8 million, or 15.4%, in 2010 to
$321.4 million from $278.6 million in 2009. Consolidated product revenues by category are presented below (dollars in thousands):

Product revenues by geographic region include revenues from our Electric operating segment, and are
allocated based on customer location. Such product revenues in the United States were $161.4 million, or 50.2% of our product revenues, and $138.7 million, or 49.8% of our product revenues, in 2010 and 2009, respectively. Product revenues
in Europe were $75.3 million, or 23.4% of our product revenues, and $75.3 million, or 27.0% of our product revenues, in 2010 and 2009, respectively. Product revenues in the rest of the world consist primarily of product revenues from sales
in the Canadian and Asia Pacific regions, and do not include sales by our international licensees. Such product revenues in the rest of the world were $84.7 million, or 26.4% of our product revenues, and $64.6 million, or 23.2% of our
product revenues, in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Gross Profit

In 2010, consolidated gross profit increased $18.2 million, or 12.9%, to $159.0 million compared to $140.8 million in 2009.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenues, or gross margin, decreased 100 basis points to 49.2% in 2010 compared to 50.2% in 2009. Gross margin related specifically to product revenues decreased 90 basis points to 48.9% in 2010 compared to 49.8% in
2009. Gross margin on product from the U.S. segment decreased 260 basis points to 45.7% in 2010 compared to 48.3% in 2009, primarily due to higher inventory

liquidation in 2010 compared to 2009. Gross margin from the European segment increased 360 basis points to 55.6% in 2010 compared to 52.0% in 2009, primarily due to a greater percentage of sales
directly to retailers and a lesser percentage of sales to territory distributors during 2010 compared to 2009. Gross margin from the Electric segment increased 360 basis points to 58.9% in 2010 compared to 55.3% in 2009, primarily due to more
favorable Euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate on sunglass purchases in 2010 versus 2009, better pricing on liquidation of sunglasses and goggles, as well as improvement of gross margin on soft goods due to additional synergies with Volcom product
teams. Gross margin from the Australian segment was 43.8% in 2010.

Operating Expenses

In 2010, consolidated total operating expenses increased $17.9 million, or 16.1%, to $128.7 million compared to
$110.8 million in 2009. The $17.9 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due primarily to increased payroll and payroll related expense of $6.8 million due to expenditures on infrastructure and personnel, increased
marketing and advertising expense of $4.3 million, incremental expenses of $3.0 million associated with Volcom Australia, increased commission expense of $1.7 million associated with an increase in revenues between periods. These increases were
offset by a decrease in bad debt expense of $1.7 million. The net increase in various other expense categories was $3.8 million. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 39.8% in 2010 from 39.5% in 2009.

Operating Income

As a result of the factors above, consolidated operating income in 2010 increased $0.5 million to $30.4 million compared to $29.9 million in 2009. Operating income as a percentage of
revenues decreased to 9.4% in 2010 from 10.7% in 2009.

Other Income

Other income primarily includes net interest income and foreign currency gains and losses. Interest income in 2010 was $0.3 million
compared to $0.4 million in 2009. This decrease in interest income was due to lower returns on our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Foreign currency gain increased to $2.1 million in 2010 compared to $1.5 million
in 2009, which was due primarily to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar, Euro, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar and Japanese yen exchange rates.

Provision for Income Taxes

We computed our provision for income
taxes for 2010 using an annual effective tax rate of 32.1%. The provision for income taxes increased $0.4 million to $10.5 million in 2010 compared to $10.1 million in 2009.

Net Income

As a result of the factors above, net income increased $0.6 million, or 2.5%, to $22.3 million in 2010 from $21.7 in 2009.

2008. We believe our overall decline in revenues was driven primarily by the state of the global macroeconomic environment and the decline in discretionary consumer spending worldwide. The
primary functional currency of our European operations is the Euro. On a Euro to Euro basis, revenues in our European segment increased approximately 2% in 2009 compared to 2008.

Revenues from our five largest customers were $56.8 million in 2009, a decrease of $37.3 million, or 39.7%, compared to
$94.1 million in 2008. Excluding revenues from Pacific Sunwear, which decreased $22.0 million, or 42.3%, to $30.0 million, total revenues from our remaining five largest customers decreased $15.3 million, or 36.4%, to $26.8 million in
2009 from $42.1 million in 2008.

Product revenues by geographic region include revenues from our Electric operating segment, and are
allocated based on customer location. Such product revenues in the United States were $138.7 million, or 49.8% of our product revenues, and $195.9 million, or 59.0% of our product revenues, in 2009 and 2008, respectively. Product revenues
in Europe were $75.3 million, or 27.0% of our product revenues, and $77.9 million, or 23.5% of our product revenues, in 2009 and 2008, respectively. Product revenues in the rest of the world consist primarily of product revenues from sales
in the Canadian and Asia Pacific regions, and do not include sales by our international licensees. Such product revenues in the rest of the world were $64.6 million, or 23.2% of our product revenues, and $58.3 million, or 17.5% of our
product revenues, in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Gross Profit

In 2009, consolidated gross profit decreased $22.3 million, or 13.7%, to $140.8 million compared to $163.1 million in 2008.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenues, or gross margin, increased 140 basis points to 50.2% in 2009 compared to 48.8% in 2008. Gross margin related specifically to product revenues increased 140 basis points to 49.8% in 2009 compared to 48.4% in
2008. Gross margin on product from the U.S. segment increased 280 basis points to 48.3% in 2009 compared to 45.5% in 2008, primarily due to limited year-end markdowns as a result of an overall less promotional selling environment and tighter
inventory controls, combined with an increased margin in Japan due to the acquisition of our Japanese distributor in November 2008. Gross margin from the European segment decreased 360 basis points to 52.0% in 2009 compared to 55.6% in 2008,
primarily due to currency fluctuations related to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar to the Euro compared to the same period last year, which affected their U.S. dollar inventory purchases. Gross margin from the Electric segment decreased 50 basis
points to 55.3% in 2009 compared to 55.8% in 2008, primarily due to higher inventory liquidation than in the prior year.

Operating Expenses

In 2009, consolidated total operating expenses decreased $17.9 million, or 13.9%, to $110.8 million compared to $128.7 million in 2008. In 2008, operating expenses included a $16.2 million
non-cash asset

impairment charge on goodwill and intangible assets related to the 2008 acquisitions of Electric and Laguna Surf & Sport. These impairment charges were driven by the economic downturn,
whereby our estimated future cash flows expected from these reporting units were significantly reduced causing decreases in their estimated fair market values. The remaining $1.7 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was
due primarily to decreased commissions expense of $2.7 million associated with a decrease in revenues between periods, decreased amortization expense of $1.4 million associated with the impairment of amortizing intangible assets during the fourth
quarter of 2008 and a net decrease in various other expense categories of $1.1 million. These decreases were offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses due to incremental expenses of $3.5 million associated with our
recently acquired Japanese distributor. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 39.5% in 2009 from 33.6% in 2008. The 5.9% increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues was due primarily to the deleveraging of certain fixed costs over a lower revenue base as well as incremental expenses associated with our recently acquired distributors in Japan and the UK, and incremental expenses associated with our
additional retail stores.

Operating Income

As a result of the factors above, consolidated operating income in 2009 decreased $4.5 million to $29.9 million compared to
$34.4 million in 2008. Operating income as a percentage of revenues increased to 10.7% in 2009 from 10.3% in 2008.

Other Income

Other income primarily includes net interest income and foreign currency gains and losses. Interest income in 2009 was $0.4 million compared to $0.9 million in 2008. This decrease in interest
income was due to lower returns on our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Foreign currency gain (loss) increased to a $1.5 million gain in 2009 compared to a $1.8 million loss in 2008, which was due primarily to
fluctuations in the Euro and Canadian dollar exchange rates against the U.S. dollar.

Provision for Income Taxes

We computed our provision for income taxes for 2009 using an annual effective tax rate of 31.7%, which is a decrease
of 350 basis points from 35.2% in 2008 due primarily to the 2008 income tax effect of the goodwill and intangible asset impairment. The provision for income taxes decreased $1.7 million to $10.1 million in 2009 compared to
$11.8 million in 2008.

Net Income

As a result of the factors above, net income remained consistent at $21.7 million in 2009 and 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary cash needs are working capital
and capital expenditures. These sources of liquidity may be impacted by fluctuations in demand for our products, ongoing investments in our infrastructure and expenditures on marketing and advertising.

Cash from operating activities consists primarily of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items
including asset impairments, depreciation and amortization, gain on investment in unconsolidated investee, deferred income taxes, provision for doubtful accounts, excess tax benefits related to the exercise of stock options, loss on disposal of
property and equipment, stock-based compensation and the effect of changes in working capital and other activities. In 2010 and 2009, cash from operating activities was $17.8 million and $36.2 million, respectively. The $18.4 million
decrease in cash from operating activities between the periods was attributable to the following:

Cash provided by investing activities was $15.9 million in 2010 compared to a use of cash of
$40.7 million in 2009. During 2010, the cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to the net sale of short-term investments of $25.0 million, offset by purchases of property and equipment of $5.9 million and a total of $3.3
million spent on the acquisition of Volcom Australia, net of cash acquired, and the initial payment related to the agreement for the transition and sale of certain assets of our distributor of Volcom branded products in Spain. During 2009, the cash
used in investing activities was primarily due to the net purchase of short-term investments of $35.0 million, purchases of property and equipment of $4.8 million, of which $1.6 million was related to the purchase of equipment for the new European
warehouse, and $0.9 million spent on taking direct control of the UK territory from our UK distributor. Capital expenditures during 2010 and 2009 included the ongoing purchase of investments in computer equipment, warehouse equipment, marketing
initiatives and in-store buildouts at customer retail locations.

During 2010, the cash used in financing activities was $23.8 million, and is primarily
due to the dividend payment to stockholders of $24.4 million, offset by $0.5 million in proceeds received from the exercise of stock options. During 2009, the cash used in financing activities was $0.1 million, and is primarily due to principal
payments on capital lease obligations.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, cash flow from
operating activities and available borrowings under our credit facility will be sufficient to meet our capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. The following represents our material cash commitments:



| |  |  | the maximum consideration of 1.2 million Euro (or approximately $1.6 million based on a 1 Euro to 1.3253 U.S. dollar exchange rate at

Credit Facilities

We maintain a $40.0 million unsecured credit
agreement with a bank (which includes a line of credit, foreign exchange facility and letter of credit sub-facilities). The amended credit agreement, which expires on August 31, 2012, may be used to fund our working capital requirements.
Borrowings under this agreement bear interest, at our option, either at the banks prime rate (3.25% at December 31, 2010) or LIBOR plus 1.25%. Under this credit facility, we had $1.1 million outstanding in letters of credit at
December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2010 there were no outstanding borrowings under this credit facility, and $38.9 million was available under the credit facility. The credit agreement requires compliance with conditions precedent that
must be satisfied prior to any borrowing, as well as ongoing compliance with specified affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants related to our financial condition, including requirements that we maintain a minimum net profit after tax
and a minimum EBITDA. At December 31, 2010, we were in compliance with all restrictive covenants.

Contractual
Obligations and Commitments

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or outstanding balances on our credit
facility as of December 31, 2010. The following table summarizes, as of December 31, 2010, the total amount of future payments due in various future periods:

We lease certain land and buildings under non-cancelable operating leases. The leases expire at various
dates through 2036, excluding extensions at our option, and contain provisions for rental adjustments, including in certain cases, adjustments based on increases in the Consumer Price Index. The leases generally contain renewal provisions for
varying periods of time.

Our current capital lease obligations bear interest at rates of 8.0% per year, and
expire in July 2012.

We establish relationships with professional athletes in order to promote our products and brand. We
have entered into endorsement agreements with professional skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing and motocross athletes. Many of these contracts provide incentives for magazine exposure and competitive victories while wearing or using our products.
It is not possible to determine the precise amounts that we will be required to pay under these agreements as they are subject to many variables. The amounts listed above are the approximate amounts of the minimum obligations required to be paid
under these contracts. The additional estimated maximum amount that could be paid under our existing contracts, assuming that all bonuses, victories and similar incentives are achieved during the five-year period ending December 31, 2015, is
approximately $4.7 million. The actual amounts paid under these agreements may be higher or lower than the amounts discussed above as a result of the variable nature of these obligations.

Our contractual letters of credit have maturity dates of less than one year. We use these letters of credit to purchase finished goods.

At December 31, 2010, we had $0.3 million of total unrecognized tax benefits recorded as liabilities, which are not
included in the table above, and we are uncertain as to if or when such amounts may be settled.

Seasonality

Historically, we have experienced greater revenue in the second half of the year than in the first half due to a concentration of shopping
around the fall and holiday seasons and pricing differences between our products sold during the first and second half of the year, as products we sell in the fall and holiday seasons generally have higher prices per unit than products we sell in
the spring and summer seasons. We typically sell more of our summer products (boardshorts, t-shirts and sunglasses) in the first half of the year and a majority of our winter products (pants, long sleeve shirts, sweaters, fleece, jackets, outerwear
and goggles) in the second half of the year. We anticipate that this seasonal impact on our revenues is likely to continue. Our business in Europe is extremely seasonal with revenues concentrated primarily in the first and third quarters, shipment
of low margin samples concentrated in the second and fourth quarters, and a relatively steady pace of selling, general and administrative expenses throughout the year. During the two-year period ended December 31, 2010, approximately 57% of our
revenues, 56% of our gross profit and 70% of our operating income were generated in the second half of the year, with the third quarter generally generating most of our operating income due to fall, holiday and snow shipments. Accordingly, our
results of operations for the first and second quarters of any year are not indicative of the results we expect for the full year.

As a result of the effects of seasonality, particularly in preparation for the fall and holiday shopping seasons, our inventory levels and other working capital requirements generally begin to increase
during the second quarter and into the third quarter of each year. Based on our current cash and short-term investment position, we do not anticipate borrowing under our credit facility in the near term.

Backlog

We typically
receive the bulk of our orders for each of our seasons up to four months prior to the date the products are shipped to customers. Generally, these orders are not subject to cancellation prior to the date of shipment. At December 31, 2010, our
order backlog was approximately $94.4 million, compared to approximately $73.7 million at December 31, 2009. For a variety of reasons, including the timing of release dates for our seasonal product collections, the timing of
shipments, timing of order deadlines, timing of receipt of orders, product mix of customer orders and the amount of in-season orders, backlog may not be a reliable measure of future sales for any succeeding period. For these reasons, backlog figures
in one year may not be directly comparable to backlog figures in another year when measured at the same date.

Inflation

We do not believe inflation has had a material impact on our results of operations in the past. There can be no assurance that our business will not be affected by inflation in the future.

Vulnerability Due to Concentrations

One customer, Pacific Sunwear, accounted for approximately 10% and 11% of our product revenues in 2010 and 2009, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our product revenues in 2010
or 2009.

Sales to Pacific Sunwear increased 4%, or $1.1 million, for 2010 compared to 2009. Pacific Sunwear remains an
important customer for us and we are working both internally and with Pacific Sunwear to maximize our business with them. We believe our brand continues to be an important part of the Pacific Sunwear business. We also recognize that any customer
concentration creates risks and we are, therefore, assessing strategies to lessen our concentration with Pacific Sunwear.

We
do not own or operate any manufacturing facilities and source our products from independently-owned manufacturers. Purchases from Dragon Crowd and Ningbo Jehson Textiles totaled approximately 17% and 16%, respectively, of our product costs in 2010
and 2009.

|ITEM 7A. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|-------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Foreign Currency Risk

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risks (see Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) that could impact our results of operations. We are exposed
to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relating to certain sales, licensing revenues and product purchases of our international subsidiaries that are denominated in currencies other than their functional
currencies. We are also exposed to foreign currency gains and losses resulting from domestic transactions that are not denominated in U.S. dollars. Furthermore, we are exposed to gains and losses resulting from the effect that fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates have on the reported results in our consolidated financial statements due to the translation of the operating results and financial position of our international subsidiaries. Changes in foreign currency rates affect
our results of operations and distort comparisons between periods. For example, when the U.S. dollar strengthens compared to the Euro, there is a negative effect on our reported results from our European operation because it takes more profits in
Euro to generate the same amount of profits in stronger U.S. dollars. We do not enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge the translation of operating results and financial position of our international subsidiaries.

A portion of our domestic sales are made in Canadian dollars. In 2010, 2009 and 2008, we derived 11.6%, 10.7% and 9.6% of our product
revenues, respectively, from sales in Canada. As a result, we are exposed to fluctuations in the value of Canadian dollar denominated receivables and payables, foreign currency investments, primarily consisting of Canadian dollar deposits, and cash
flows related to repatriation of those investments. A weakening of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar could negatively impact the profitability of our products sold in Canada and the value of our Canadian receivables, as well as
the value of repatriated funds we may bring back to the United States from Canada. Account balances denominated in Canadian dollars are marked-to-market every period using current exchange rates and the resulting changes in the account balance
are included in our income statement as other income. If recent foreign currency market volatility continues and the Canadian dollar weakens, our results could be adversely affected. Based on the balance of Canadian dollar receivables of
approximately $11.5 million at December 31, 2010, an assumed 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar would result in pretax foreign currency losses of $1.1 million.

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risks between the Euro, Japanese yen, and Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar, as our foreign operations purchase a portion of their inventories in
U.S. dollars. In addition, we are also exposed to foreign currency gains and losses resulting from various other foreign operations transactions that are denominated in U.S. dollars. A weakening of these foreign currencies relative to the U.S.
dollar could have a negative impact on our net exposure of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar. If recent foreign currency market volatility continues and these foreign currencies weaken compared to the U.S. dollar, our results could be
adversely affected. Based on our net foreign currency exposure at December 31, 2010, an assumed 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar would result in pre-tax foreign currency losses of $1.9 million.

We generally purchase Volcom branded finished goods from our manufacturers in U.S. dollars. However, we source substantially all of
these finished goods abroad and their cost may be affected by changes in the value of the relevant currencies. Price increases caused by currency exchange rate fluctuations could increase our costs. If we are unable to increase our prices to a level
sufficient to cover the increased costs, it could adversely affect our margins and we may become less price competitive with companies who manufacture their products in the United States.

Interest Rate Risk

We maintain a $40.0 million unsecured credit agreement (which includes a line of credit, foreign exchange facility and letter of credit sub-facilities) with no balance outstanding at
December 31, 2010. The credit agreement, which expires on August 31, 2012, may be used to fund our working capital requirements. Borrowings under this agreement bear interest, at our option, either at the banks prime rate (3.25% at



44



---

##### Table of Contents

December 31, 2010) or LIBOR plus 1.25%. Based on the average interest rate on our credit facility during 2010, and to the extent that borrowings were outstanding, we do not believe that
a 10% change in interest rates would have a material effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

|ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|-------- | -----------------------

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and
procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and
forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of
controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that
breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of
controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent
limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

We carried
out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures
as of December 31, 2010, the end of the annual period covered by this report. The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of the disclosure controls and procedures objectives, design, implementation
and the effect of the controls and procedures on the information generated for use in this report. In the course of our evaluation, we sought to identify data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm the appropriate corrective
actions, including process improvements, were being undertaken.

Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and our
Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and were operating at the reasonable assurance level.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the Companys
most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal controls over financial reporting.

Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such
term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company has
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on the framework in Internal Control  Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on managements evaluation under the framework in Internal Control  Integrated Framework, management concluded that the Companys internal control over financial reporting
was effective as of December 31, 2010.

The Companys independent registered public accounting firm that audited the
consolidated financial statements included in the annual report containing the disclosure required by this Item has issued an attestation report on the Companys internal control over financial reporting. This report appears under the Report of
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, which is included below.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Volcom,
Inc.

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Volcom, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company)
as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control  Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. 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 Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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.

A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process
designed by, or under the supervision of, the companys principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the companys board of directors, management, and other personnel 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 the inherent limitations of internal control over financial
reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the
effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on the criteria established in Internal Control  Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated
financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 of the Company and our report dated March 16, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Volcom, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Volcom, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Volcom, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2010, 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), the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on the criteria established in
Internal Control  Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 16, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Companys internal control over

Presentation  The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Cash and Cash Equivalents  The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity at date of purchase of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risks  The Company is subject to
significant concentrations of credit risk, primarily from its cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. The Company invests its cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments with financial institutions with
high credit standing. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the majority of the Companys cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were held at financial institutions in the United States that are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Uninsured balances aggregate approximately $73.1 million (including foreign accounts) as of December 31, 2010.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customers current creditworthiness. The Company maintains an allowance
for estimated losses resulting from the failure of its customers to make required payments. An estimate of uncollectible amounts is made by management based upon historical bad debts, current customer receivable balances, age of customer receivable
balances, the customers financial condition and current economic trends, all of which are subject to change. Actual uncollected amounts have been consistent with the Companys expectations. Allowances for doubtful accounts are reported as
a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, no single customer represented over 10% of the Companys outstanding accounts receivable balance.

Inventories  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. The Company regularly reviews
inventory quantities on hand and adjusts inventory values for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on estimated forecasts of product demand and net realizable value.

Property and Equipment  The Companys property and equipment are
stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from three to 30 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease
term. Maintenance and repairs on the Companys property and equipment are charged to operations when incurred. Depreciable lives by fixed asset category are as follows:



|                       |  |               
|---------------------- |  | --------------
|Furniture and fixtures |  | 3 to 5 years  
|Office equipment       |  | 3 to 5 years  
|Computer equipment     |  | 3 years       
|Leasehold improvements |  | 3 to 10 years 
|Buildings              |  | 15 to 30 years

Long-Lived Assets  The Company assesses its long-lived assets for potential impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the assets carrying value may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and
eventual disposition of the asset (asset group). Once the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is deemed to no longer be recoverable, an impairment loss would be recognized equal to the difference between the current carrying amount
and the fair value of the long-lived asset (asset group). In 2009 and 2008, the Company determined that there were impairment losses associated with its amortizing intangible assets related to the 2008 acquisitions of Electric and Laguna
Surf & Sport. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Goodwill and
Intangible Assets  The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350, Intangibles  Goodwill and Other (ASC 350). Goodwill
and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually and also in the event of an impairment indicator. The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill based on a two-step impairment test. The
first step compares the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, then the second step of the impairment test is performed to measure the amount of any impairment
loss. Fair value is determined based on estimated future cash flows, discounted at a rate that approximates the Companys cost of capital. Such estimates are subject to change and the Company may be required to recognize an impairment loss in
the future. Impairment losses are reflected in operating income. In 2009, the Company recorded an impairment loss associated with the non-amortizing intangible assets related to Volcom Europe. In 2008, the Company determined that there was an
impairment loss associated with the goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets related to the 2008 acquisitions of Electric and Laguna Surf & Sport. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments  ASC 825, Financial Instruments (ASC 825), requires
management to disclose the estimated fair value of certain assets and liabilities defined by ASC 825 as financial instruments. At December 31, 2010, the Company believes that the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable
and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.

Revenue
Recognition  Product revenues are recognized at the time transfer of title occurs, risk of ownership passes to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Taxes collected from the Companys customers are recorded on a
net basis. Allowances for estimated returns are provided when product revenues are recorded based on historical experience, current economic trends, changes in customer demands and sell-through of products, and are reported as reductions in product
revenues.

Licensing revenues are recorded when earned based on a stated percentage of the licensees sales of Company
branded products.

Shipping and Handling  Amounts billed to customers for shipping and
handling are recorded as revenues. Freight costs associated with shipping goods to customers are included in cost of sales. Handling costs of $6.5 million, $5.7 million and $6.8 million are included in selling, general and
administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Significant
Concentrations  During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, sales to a single customer totaled approximately 10%, 11% and 16%, respectively, of product revenues. No other single customer represented over 10% of
product revenues.

During each of the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company made purchases from two
suppliers that totaled more than 10% of total product costs. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, purchases from those two suppliers were approximately 33%, 33% and 32% of total product costs, respectively.

Advertising and Promotion  The Companys promotion and advertising programs include athlete sponsorships, Volcom
branded events, print advertisements, music, films and online marketing. Costs of advertising, promotion and point-of-sale materials are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the years ended
December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, these expenses totaled $26.8 million, $21.9 million and $21.7 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no deferred advertising costs.

Income Taxes  The Company records a provision and liability for federal, state and foreign income taxes using an annual
effective tax rate. Deferred income taxes are recorded at the Companys effective tax rate. Managements judgment is required in assessing the realizability of its deferred tax assets. The Company considers future taxable income and
ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the value of the Companys deferred tax assets. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized, the Company would reduce the
value of these assets to their expected realizable value, thereby decreasing net income. Evaluating the value of these assets is necessarily based on the Companys judgment. If the Company subsequently determined that the deferred tax assets
that had been written down would, in the Companys judgment, be realized in the future, the value of the deferred tax assets would be increased, thereby increasing net income in the period when that determination was made. As of
December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of approximately $901,000 and $324,000, respectively, against deferred tax assets that the Company believes are not more likely than not to be realized.

The guidance included in ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740), prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute
for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax
position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a
greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.

Foreign Currency and Derivatives 
The Company owns subsidiaries that operate with the local currency as their functional currency. The Companys international subsidiaries generate revenues and collect receivables at future dates in the customers local currencies, and
purchase inventory primarily in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, the Company is exposed to gains and losses that result from the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on foreign currency denominated transactions. The Companys
assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate for the period. Gains and losses from
translation of foreign subsidiary financial statements are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI).

On the date the Company enters into a derivative contract, management designates the
derivative as a hedge of the identified exposure. The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for entering into various hedge transactions. In
this documentation, the Company identifies the asset, liability, firm commitment, or forecasted transaction that has been designated as a hedged item and indicates how the hedging instrument is expected to hedge the risks related to the hedged item.
The Company formally measures effectiveness of its hedging relationships both at the hedge inception and on an ongoing basis in accordance with its risk management policy. The Company would discontinue hedge accounting prospectively (i) if
management determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of a hedged item, (ii) when the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, (iii) if it becomes probable that the
forecasted transaction being hedged by the derivative will not occur, (iv) because a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment, or (v) if management determines that designation of the derivative as a hedge
instrument is no longer appropriate.

Derivative financial instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the
balance sheet and are measured at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the use and type of the derivative. The Companys derivative financial instruments consist of foreign currency exchange
contracts that the Company uses to manage its exposure to the risk of foreign currency exchange rates. The Companys objectives are to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

A portion of the
Companys domestic sales are made in Canadian dollars. In addition, the Companys Electric subsidiary purchases sunglass inventory in Euros. As a result, the Company is exposed to transaction gains and losses that result from movements in
foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in the Companys assets and liabilities that are denominated in these foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange on the balance sheet date, and are reflected in the
Companys consolidated statements of operations.

Comprehensive Income  Comprehensive income represents
the results of operations adjusted to reflect all items recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive earnings.

The components of comprehensive income for the Company include net income, unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency cash flow hedges and foreign currency adjustments that arise from the translation
of the Companys international subsidiaries financial statements into U.S. dollars. The components of accumulated OCI, net of tax, are as follows:

Net Income Per Share  The Company calculates net income per share in
accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share (ASC 260). Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period.
Diluted net income per common share reflects the effects of potentially dilutive securities, which consists solely of restricted stock and stock options using the treasury stock method. A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the
calculation of basic and diluted net income per share is as follows:



|                                                                                              |  |                                   |            |  |      |   |            |      |  |   |            |

For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, stock options of 600,615, 1,103,158 and 437,558,
respectively, were excluded from the weighted-average number of shares outstanding because their effect would be antidilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation  The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the fair value recognition provisions
of ASC 718, Compensation  Stock Compensation (ASC 718). The Company accounts for all stock-based compensation using a fair-value method and recognizes the fair value of each award as an expense over the service period. See
Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the
Financial Statements  The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-13, which amends the guidance in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition (ASC 605). ASU No. 2009-13 eliminates the residual method of accounting
for revenue on undelivered products and instead, requires companies to allocate revenue to each of the deliverable products based on their relative selling price. In addition, this ASU expands the disclosure requirements surrounding
multiple-deliverable arrangements. ASU No. 2009-13 will be effective for revenue arrangements entered into for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU No. 2009-13 will not have an impact on the
Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations.

2. Acquisitions

Effective August 1, 2010, the Company acquired the remaining 86.1% of the outstanding common stock of Volcom Australia Pty Ltd (Volcom Australia), the Australian licensee of the
Companys products, subject to certain indemnities and post-closing adjustments. Prior to the closing of the transaction, the Company held a 13.9% ownership interest in Volcom Australia. The purchase price, excluding transaction costs, was
approximately $2.9 million in cash. The assets and liabilities of Volcom Australia were recorded at estimated fair value as of the date of acquisition under the purchase method of accounting. Total net tangible assets acquired are estimated at
$2.4 million, with $755,000 of the remaining purchase price allocated to amortizing intangible assets, including reacquired license rights, customer relationships, backlog and athlete contracts, and $224,000 allocated to goodwill. These amounts
represent the estimated preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition and are subject to change upon finalization of the valuation of all
post-closing adjustments. The operations of Volcom Australia have been included in the Companys financial results since August 1, 2010. The effects of this acquisition are not considered material. Accordingly, pro forma information
reflecting this acquisition has been omitted.

In October 2010, the Company entered into an agreement for the transition and
sale of certain assets of the Companys distributor of Volcom branded products in Spain, whereby the Company will take direct control of the Spain territory beginning with the delivery of the Fall 2011 product line, which will begin shipping in
approximately July 2011. The consideration related to this transition and acquisition agreement shall not exceed 1.9 million Euro (or approximately $2.5 million based on a 1 Euro to 1.3253 U.S. dollar exchange rate as of December 31,
2010), of which the Company made an initial payment of 700,000 Euro (approximately $972,000) in October 2010, and the remaining 1.2 million Euro will be due upon the closing of the agreement on July 1, 2011. The acquisition is contingent
upon the Spanish distributor delivering certain assets, customer information, certain inventory stock and other sales and marketing tools through July 1, 2011.

The provision for doubtful accounts represents charges to selling, general and administrative expenses for
estimated bad debts, whereas the provision for product returns is reported as a direct reduction of revenues. As the economic conditions in the global economy have deteriorated during recent years, the Company has experienced an increase in its
provisions required for doubtful accounts and product returns over previous historical levels.

6. Investment in
Unconsolidated Investee

The Company previously held an ownership interest in the common stock of Volcom Australia. The
Companys total ownership interest was 13.9%. The investment was accounted for under the cost method, as the Company did not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the financial and operating policies of the investee. At
December 31, 2009, the Companys investment in Volcom Australia was $330,000. In 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of Volcom Australia, and the operations of Volcom Australia have been included in the Companys financial
results since August 1, 2010.

At December 31, 2009, the Company recorded a $112,000 impairment charge associated with land-use
rights, a non-amortizing intangible asset, for a Company owned retail store in Europe. At December 31, 2008, as part of the Companys annual impairment test in accordance with ASC 350, it was determined that the goodwill and non-amortizing
intangible assets associated with the 2008 acquisitions of Electric and Laguna Surf & Sport were impaired, as the carrying amount of the reporting units, including goodwill, exceeded the fair value of the reporting units. The fair value of
assets was estimated using a combination of a discounted cash flow and market approach. The value implied by the test was affected by (1) reduced future cash flows expected for the Electric segment, (2) the discount rates that were applied
to future cash flows, and (3) current market estimates of value. The discount rates applied and current estimates of market values were affected by the existing macro-economic conditions, contributing to the estimated decline in value. Total
impairment charges of $6.5 million were incurred for the year ended December 31, 2008 related to goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets.

For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, certain amortizing intangible
assets associated with Electric and Laguna Surf & Sport were determined to be impaired in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (ASC 360). The Company recorded impairment charges of $21,000 and $9.7
million for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Amortizing intangible assets include customer
relationships, trademarks, non-compete agreements, backlog, leasehold rights, reacquired license rights and athlete contracts. Other non-amortizing intangible assets consist of trademarks and land use rights. Amortizable intangible assets are
amortized by the Company using estimated useful lives of three months to 20 years with no residual values. Fluctuations in the gross carrying amounts of intangible assets associated with the Companys international subsidiaries are due to the
effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Intangible amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, was approximately $732,000, $929,000 and $2.3 million, respectively. The Companys annual
amortization expense is estimated to be approximately $674,000, $477,000, $365,000, $309,000 and $246,000 in the fiscal years ending December 31, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively.

9. Line of Credit

The Company maintains a $40.0 million unsecured credit agreement with a bank (which includes a line of credit, foreign exchange facility and letter of credit sub-facilities). The amended credit agreement,
which expires on August 31, 2012, may be used to fund the Companys working capital requirements. Borrowings under this agreement bear interest, at the Companys option, either at the banks prime rate (3.25% at December 31,
2010) or LIBOR plus 1.25%. Under this credit facility, the Company had $1.1 million outstanding in letters of credit at December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2010 there were no outstanding borrowings under this credit facility, and $38.9
million was available under the credit facility. The credit agreement requires compliance with conditions precedent that must be satisfied prior to any borrowing, as well as ongoing compliance with specified affirmative and negative covenants,
including covenants related to the Companys financial condition, including requirements that the Company maintain a minimum net profit after tax and a minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).
At December 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all restrictive covenants.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases  The Company leases certain office, warehouse and retail facilities under long-term operating lease
agreements. Total rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, was $7.5 million, $6.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively.

Professional Athlete Sponsorships  The Company establishes relationships with professional
athletes in order to promote its products and brands. The Company has entered into endorsement agreements with professional athletes in skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing and motocross. Many of these contracts provide incentives for magazine
exposure and competitive victories while wearing or using the Companys products. Such expenses are an ordinary part of the Companys operations and are expensed as incurred. The following is a schedule of future estimated minimum payments

The amounts listed above are the approximate amounts of the minimum obligations required
to be paid under these contracts. The additional estimated maximum amount that could be paid under the Companys existing contracts, assuming that all bonuses, victories and similar incentives are achieved during the five-year period ending
December 31, 2015, is approximately $4.7 million. The actual amounts paid under these agreements may be higher or lower than the amounts discussed above as a result of the variable nature of these obligations.

Litigation  The Company is involved from time to time in litigation incidental to its business. In the opinion of
management, the resolution of any such matter currently pending will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Company is subject to various other claims, complaints and legal actions in the normal course of business from time to time. These
other matters are, in the opinion of management, immaterial both individually and in the aggregate with respect to the Companys consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

Indemnities and Guarantees  During its normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities 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 and 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 vendors and service providers pertaining to claims based on the
negligence or willful misconduct of the Company, and (iv) 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 on the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. The Company has not been required to record nor has it
recorded any liability for these indemnities, commitments and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

11.
Stockholders Equity

The Company accounts for all stock-based compensation using a fair-value method and recognizes
the fair value of each award as an expense over the service period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value compensation expense. Forfeitures are estimated at the date of grant based on historical employee turnover rates and
reduce the compensation expense recognized. Depending upon the option grant, the expected option term is based upon historical industry data on employee exercises and managements expectation of exercise behavior, or is estimated based on the
simplified method as prescribed in ASC 718. For options granted concurrently with the Companys initial public offering of common stock, the expected volatility of the Companys stock price was based upon the historical volatility of
similar entities whose share prices were publicly available. For options granted subsequent to the Companys public offering, expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Companys stock. The risk-free interest rate is
based upon the current yield on U.S. Treasury securities having a term similar to the expected option term. Dividend yield is estimated at zero because the Company does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. The fair value
of employee stock-based awards is amortized using the straight-line method over the vesting period.

During the years ended
December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized approximately $1.9 million, or $1.2 million net of tax, $1.8 million, or $1.2 million net of tax, and $985,000 or $638,000 net of tax, respectively, in stock-based
compensation expense, which includes the impact of all stock-based awards and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Stock Compensation Plans  In 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Stock
Option Plan (the 1996 Plan), which authorized the Company to grant or issue options to purchase up to a total of 4,663,838 shares of the Companys common stock. In June 2005, the Companys Board of Directors and
stockholders approved the 2005 Incentive Award Plan (the Incentive Plan), as amended and restated in February 2007, and re-approved by the stockholders in May 2009. A total of 2,300,000 shares of common stock were initially
authorized and reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan for incentives such as stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance shares and deferred stock awards. The actual number of awards
reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan automatically increases on the first trading day in January of each calendar year by an amount equal to 2% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on the last trading day in December
of the preceding calendar year, but in no event will any such annual increase exceed 750,000 shares. As of December 31, 2010, there were 3,393,629 shares available for issuance pursuant to new stock option grants or other equity
awards. Under the Incentive Plan, stock options have been granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Companys stock at the time of grant. The vesting period for stock options is determined by the Board of Directors or
the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, as applicable, and the stock options generally expire 10 years from the date of grant or 90 days after employment or services are terminated.

Stock Option Awards  In May 2008, the Companys Board of Directors approved the grant of 2,000 options to purchase
the Companys common stock to each independent member of the Companys Board of Directors (10,000 options in total). The Company granted these options at the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. The
stock options vested one year from the date of grant. The fair value of these awards was calculated through the use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model assuming an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Companys stock and
the following additional significant weighted-average assumptions: expected life of 2.0 years; volatility of 61.9%; risk-free interest rate of 2.38%; and no dividends during the expected term.

In May 2009, the Companys Board of Directors approved the grant of 670,000 options to purchase the Companys common stock. The
Company granted these options at the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. The stock option vesting periods range from one to five years from the date of grant. The fair value of these awards was calculated
through the use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model assuming an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Companys stock and the following additional significant weighted-average assumptions: expected life ranging from 1.0 to
6.5 years; volatility ranging from 69.7% to 90.7%; risk-free interest rate ranging from 0.53% to 3.22%; and no dividends during the expected term.

In May 2010, the Companys Board of Directors approved the grant of 2,000 options to purchase the Companys common stock to each non-employee member of the Companys Board of Directors
(12,000 options in total). The Company granted these options at the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. The stock options vest one year from the date of grant. The fair value of these awards was calculated
through the use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model assuming an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Companys stock and the following additional significant weighted average assumptions: expected life of 5.5 years;
volatility of 65.2%; risk-free interest rate of 2.38%; and no dividends during the expected term.

On October 27, 2010,
the Companys Board of Directors approved a special cash dividend of $1.00 per share payable on each share of the Companys outstanding common stock, including any unvested shares of restricted common stock. The special dividend was paid
on November 19, 2010 to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 8, 2010. In accordance with the antidilution provisions set forth in the Companys

Incentive Plan, each share of the Companys outstanding stock options was repriced to reflect the $1.00 per share dividend, and the exercise price of each stock option outstanding was
reduced by $1.00, which is reflected in the weighted-average exercise prices as of December 31, 2010 listed below. As the modification did not result in an increase in the fair value of the outstanding stock options, no incremental stock based
compensation was recorded.

A summary of the Companys stock option activity under the Incentive Plan is as follows:

expense was $242,000, $264,000 and $247,000, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, excess tax benefits (detriment) from stock-based
compensation of $54,000 and $(59,000), respectively, were recorded as a (reduction) addition to paid-in capital.

The Company
has a foreign net operating loss of approximately $3.4 million, of which $57,000 expires in 2023, $39,000 expires in 2024, $188,000 expires in 2025 and the remaining $3.1 million does not expire as it carries forward indefinitely. The Company does
not provide for U.S. Federal, state or additional foreign taxes on certain foreign earnings that management intends to permanently reinvest.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of approximately $901,000 and $324,000, respectively, against deferred tax assets that the Company believes are not more
likely than not to be realized.

At December 31, 2010, the Company had $283,000 of total unrecognized tax benefits, all
of which, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in any future periods. It is reasonably possible that a change in the unrecognized tax benefits could occur within the next 12 months. However, the Company
anticipates that any change would not be significant and would not have a material impact on the consolidated statements of operations or consolidated balance sheets.

The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized
approximately $26,000, $2,000 and $6,000 of interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had $39,000 and $12,000, respectively, accrued for interest and penalties. To the extent
interest and penalties are not assessed with respect to uncertain tax positions, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax provision.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the French tax authorities began an investigation into the
appropriateness of the Companys tax positions associated with the operations of its Swiss subsidiary, Volcom International SARL, for tax years beginning in 2008. The investigation specifically relates to intercompany transactions between
certain of the Companys wholly-owned European subsidiaries. Conclusion of this matter could result in payment of a different amount than the Company has accrued as uncertain tax benefits. If a position for which the Company concluded was more
likely than not is subsequently not upheld, then the Company would need to accrue and ultimately pay an additional amount, which may or may not be significant. The Company has recorded a tax liability of approximately $152,000 associated with this
uncertain tax position as of December 31, 2010.

In addition, the Companys subsidiary in France, Volcom SAS, is
currently under audit by the French tax authorities for the tax years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. The Company is currently not undergoing any other audits.

15. Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components
of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates exclusively in the
consumer products industry in which the Company designs, produces and distributes clothing, accessories, eyewear and related products. Based on the nature of the financial information that is received by the chief operating decision maker, the
Company operates in four operating and reportable segments, the United States, Europe, Australia and Electric. The United States segment primarily includes Volcom product revenues generated from customers in the United States, Canada, Asia Pacific,
Central America and South America that are served by the Companys United States and Japanese operations, as well as licensing revenues and revenues generated from Company-owned domestic retail stores, including Laguna Surf & Sport.
The European segment primarily includes Volcom product revenues generated from customers in Europe that are served by the Companys European operations. The Australian segment primarily includes Volcom product revenues generated from customers
in Australia and New Zealand that are served by the Companys Australian operations. The Electric segment includes Electric product revenues generated from customers worldwide, primarily in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia Pacific.
All intercompany revenues, expenses, payables and receivables are eliminated in consolidation and are not reviewed when evaluating segment performance. Each segments performance is evaluated based on revenues, gross profit and operating
income. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1.

16. Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments

The Companys financial assets and liabilities are measured and reported on a fair value basis in accordance with ASC 820, Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure about fair value
measurements. It also establishes a three-level hierarchy of fair value measurements for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. ASC 820 requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be
classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:



| |  |  | Level 1  Quoted market prices in active markets for identical instruments
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 2  Quoted market prices in active markets for similar instruments; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments that are not active;
and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 3  Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Companys financial assets and liabilities include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable,
accounts payable and foreign currency exchange contracts. The Company believes the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short term maturities. The fair value of
the Companys short-term investments is determined based on quoted market prices in active markets and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets. The fair value of the Companys foreign
currency exchange contracts is determined based on observable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

The following
table presents information on the Companys financial instruments (in thousands):

17. Derivative Financial
Instruments

The Company is exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates
relating to certain sales and product purchases of its international subsidiaries that are denominated in currencies other than their functional currencies. The Company is also exposed to foreign currency gains and losses resulting from domestic
transactions that are not denominated in U.S. dollars. Furthermore, the Company is exposed to gains and losses resulting from the effect that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have on the reported results in the Companys
consolidated financial statements due to the translation of the operating results and financial position of the Companys international subsidiaries.

VOLCOM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



As part of its overall strategy to manage the level of exposure to the risk of
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge a portion of its European and Australian operations U.S. dollar denominated inventory purchases. All of the
Companys forward foreign currency exchange contracts qualified for hedge accounting and the changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded in other comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2010, the Company was hedging
forecasted transactions expected to occur through December 2011. Assuming exchange rates at December 31, 2010 remain constant, $352,000 of losses, net of tax, related to hedges of these transactions are expected to be reclassified into earnings
during the next 12 months.

On the date the Company enters into a derivative contract, the Company designates the derivatives
as a hedge of the identified exposure. The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and strategy for entering into various hedge transactions. The Company
identifies in this documentation the asset, liability, firm commitment, or forecasted transaction that has been designated as a hedged item and indicates how the hedging instrument is expected to hedge the risks related to the hedged item. The
Company formally measures effectiveness of its hedging relationships both at the hedge inception and on an ongoing basis in accordance with the Companys risk management policy. The Company will discontinue hedge accounting prospectively:



| |  |  | if the Company determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of a hedged item;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | when the derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | if it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction being hedged by the derivative will not occur;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | if a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment; or
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | if the Company determines that designation of the derivative as a hedge instrument is no longer appropriate.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company has entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts with a bank and is exposed to foreign currency losses in the
event of nonperformance by this bank. The Company anticipates, however, that this bank will be able to fully satisfy its obligations under the contracts. Accordingly, the Company does not obtain collateral or other security to support the contracts.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company had U.S. dollar denominated forward foreign currency contracts outstanding to hedge
a portion of its European and Australian operations U.S. dollar denominated inventory purchases with a notional amount of $12.1 million and a net fair value of $(429,000), which mature from January 2011 through December 2011. Some outstanding
contracts were in a loss position and the $539,000 liability is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The remaining outstanding contracts were in a gain position and the $110,000 asset is included in prepaid
expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

For derivative instruments that are
designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of OCI and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods that the hedged transaction affects earnings. The
following table summarizes the effective portions of gains (losses) of foreign exchange derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations:

18. Subsequent Event

On February 24, 2011, the Company signed a definitive agreement to terminate the current Volcom outlet license agreement and purchase
the assets related to the operation of the 10 existing Volcom outlet stores from the current licensee. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company will pay $4.0 million in cash to the current licensee upon the closing of the transaction,
subject to certain indemnities. Additional consideration shall be paid by the Company within 20 days from the closing date for certain net assets, the value of which will be determined based upon the fair value of such net assets as of the
closing date. The Company anticipates completing the transaction by mid-2011.
