License Agreements
We have entered into license agreements that provide for royalty payments on net sales of licensed products as set forth in the agreements. These license agreements are within our branded segment. We have incurred royalty expense (included in SG&A expenses) of approximately $1.9 million and $2.2 million in the December quarter of fiscal years 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decline in royalty expense for the three months ended January 2, 2016, compared to the prior year is due to the sale of The Game branded collegiate headwear and apparel business to David Peyser Sportswear, in March, 2015. See Note D—Sale of The Game, for further information on this transaction.
At January 2, 2016, based on minimum sales requirements, future minimum royalty payments required under these license agreements were as follows (in thousands):
