NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods of the fiscal year ending February 1, 2014 and of the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013. Certain items included in these statements are based on management’s estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 1, 2013.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2013-02,Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income(“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 amended existing guidance by requiring additional disclosure either on the face of the incomestatement or in the notes to the financial statements of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The provisions of this new guidance were effective prospectively as of the beginning of 2013. Accordingly, enhanced footnote disclosure for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 is included inNote 45. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 had no effect on our results of operations or financialposition.

 

We performed our annual goodwill impairment assessment during the first quarter of 2013, using a qualitative approach as permitted under Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08,Testing Goodwill for Impairment. In performing the assessment, we identified and considered the significance of relevant key factors, events, and circumstances that affected the fair value and/or carrying amounts of our reporting units. These factors included external factors such as macroeconomic, industry and market conditions, as well as entity-specific factors, such as our actual and planned financial performance. Based on the results of the impairment assessment performed, we concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units substantially exceeded their respective carrying values and there are no reporting units at risk of impairment.

 

Other recently issued accounting pronouncements did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material effect on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

 

2.Acquisition

Effective beginning on July 7, 2013, the Company completed its acquisition of 100 percent of the shares of Runners Point Warenhandelsgesellschaft mbH, (“Runners Point Group”) a specialty athletic store and online retailer based in Recklinghausen, Germany. The aggregate purchase price paid for the acquisition was $87 million in cash, subject to adjustment for finalization of the value of the net assets acquired. Runners Point Group operates 194 stores in Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands. Additionally, there are 24 Runners Point Group franchise stores operating in Germany and Switzerland. The acquisition is intended to enhance the Company’s position in Germany and also provide additional banners to further diversify and expand the Company’s European business. Also, the addition of the strong digital capabilities of Tredex, the e-commerce subsidiary of Runners Point Group, allows for the potential of accelerated e-commerce growth in Europe.

The results of Runners Point Group are included in our consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.

5.6.Financial Instruments

 

The Company operates internationally and utilizes certain derivative financial instruments to mitigate its foreign currency exposures, primarily related to third-party and intercompany forecasted transactions. As a result of the use of derivative instruments, the Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate this counterparty credit risk, the Company has a policy of entering into contracts only with major financial institutions, selected based upon their credit ratings and other financial factors. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of counterparties throughout the duration of the derivative instrument.

Additional information is contained within Note 6,7,Fair Value Measurements.

Derivative Holdings Designated as Hedges

 

For a derivative to qualify as a hedge at inception and throughout the hedged period, the Company formally documents the nature of the hedged items and the relationships between the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk-management objectives, strategies for undertaking the various hedge transactions, and the methods of assessing hedge effectiveness and hedge ineffectiveness. In addition, for hedges of forecasted transactions, the significant characteristics and expected terms of a forecasted transaction must be specifically identified, and it must be probable that each forecasted transaction would occur. If it were deemed probable that the forecasted transaction would not occur, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument would be recognized in earnings immediately. No such gains or losses were recognized in earnings for any of the periods presented. Derivative financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting must maintain a specified level of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedged period, which management evaluates periodically.

 

The primary currencies to which the Company is exposed are the euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, and Australian dollar. For option and forward foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges of the purchase of inventory, the effective portion of gains and losses is deferred as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (“AOCL”) and is recognized as a component of cost of sales when the related inventory is sold. The amount reclassified to cost of sales related to such contracts was not significant for any of the periods presented. The effective portion of gains or losses associated with other forward contracts is deferred as a component of AOCL until the underlying transaction is reported in earnings. The ineffective portion of gains and losses related to cash flow hedges recorded to earnings was also not significant for any of the periods presented. When using a forward contract as a hedging instrument, the Company excludes the time value of the contract from the assessment of effectiveness. At each quarter-end, the Company had not hedged forecasted transactions for more than the next twelve months, and the Company expects all derivative-related amounts reported in AOCL to be reclassified to earnings within twelve months. The net change in the fair value of foreign exchange derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges of the purchase of inventory wasresulted in a loss of $1 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 4,August 3, 2013, and was not significant for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013. The net change resulted in a gain of $1 million for both the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended AprilJuly 28, 2012. The notional value of the contracts outstanding at May 4,August 3, 2013 was $59$57 million and these contracts extend through JanuaryJuly 2014.

5.Financial Instruments – (continued)

 

Derivative Holdings Designated as Non-Hedges

 

The Company mitigates the effect of fluctuating foreign exchange rates on the reporting of foreign-currency denominated earnings by entering into currency option contracts. Changes in the fair value of these foreign currency option contracts, which are not designated as hedges, are recorded in earnings immediately within other income. The realized gains, premiums paid and changes in the fair market value were not significant for any of the periods presented. The notional value of the contractThere were no options outstanding at May 4, 2013 was $10 million and this contract extends through JulyAugust 3, 2013.

Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported, net of tax, in other comprehensive income, unless unrealized losses are determined to be other than temporary. As of May 4,August 3, 2013, the Company held $54$53 million of available-for-sale securities, which was comprised of $48$47 million of short-term investments and a $6 million auction rate security, which is included in other assets.

 

Short-term investments represent corporate bonds with maturity dates within one year from the purchase date. These securities are valued using model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets and therefore are classified as Level 2 instruments.

 

The fair value of the auction rate security is determined by using quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets and accordingly is classified as a Level 2 instrument.

 

The Company’s derivative financial instruments are valued using market-based inputs to valuation models. These valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, and measures of volatility.

The fair value of long-term debt is determined by using model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets and therefore is classified as Level 2.

 

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and other current receivables and payables approximate their fair value.

 

There were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 assets and liabilities for any of the periods presented.

7.8.Earnings Per Share

 

The Company accounts for and discloses net earnings per share using the treasury stock method. The Company’s basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the Company’s reported net income for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding at the end of the period. The Company’s restricted stock awards, which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, are considered participating securities and are included in the calculation of basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share reflects the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period used in the basic earnings per share computation plus dilutive common stock equivalents.

The Company’s basic and diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding was as follows:

 

 Thirteen weeks ended  Thirteen weeks ended  Twenty-six weeks ended 
 May 4, April 28,  August 3, July 28, August 3, July 28, 
(in millions) 2013  2012  2013  2012  2013  2012 
Weighted-average common shares outstanding  150.4   151.8   149.5   151.4   149.9   151.6 
Effect of Dilution:                        
Stock options and awards  2.3   2.5   1.9   2.5   2.2   2.5 
Weighted-average common shares assuming dilution  152.7   154.3   151.4   153.9   152.1   154.1 

 

Options to purchase 0.51.2 million and 0.9 million shares of common stock were not included in the computation for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013.August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012, respectively. Options to purchase 0.8 million and 0.7 million shares of common stock were not included in the computation for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012, respectively. These options were not included primarily because the exercise prices of the options were greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would have been antidilutive. Substantially all options to purchase common stock outstanding as of April 28, 2012 were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. As of May 4,August 3, 2013, contingently issuable shares of 0.50.4 million have not been included as the vesting conditions have not been satisfied.

Corporate expense for the thirteen weeks ended May 4,August 3, 2013 decreased by $4$5 million to $19$20 million from the corresponding prior-year period. Corporate expense for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013 decreased by $9 million to $39 million from the corresponding prior-year period. The decline is primarily as a result of a reallocation of expense between corporate and the operating divisions. Based upon an internal study of corporate expense, the allocation of such expenses to the operating divisions was increased thereby reducing corporate expense. This decrease was partially offset by $1$3 million and $4 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013, respectively, of transaction costs incurred related to the Company’s pending acquisition and integration of Runners Point Group.

SG&A, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 20.3 percent for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013, as compared with 20.8 percent in the corresponding prior-year period. The improvement as a percentage of sales was driven by effective expense management, specifically store wages and marketing. Excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, SG&A increased by $10$6 million and $16 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended May 4,August 3, 2013, respectively, as compared with the corresponding prior-year period. This increase primarily represents increased variable costs to support sales, such as store wages.

Included in SG&A duringfor the first quarter ofthirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013, is $1$3 million and $4 million, respectively, of transaction costs related to the Company’s pending acquisition and integration of Runners Point Group as noted above in the discussion of corporate expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The Company’s primary source of liquidity has been cash flow from operations, while the principal uses of cash have been to: fund inventory and other working capital requirements; finance capital expenditures related to store openings, store remodelings, Internet and mobile sites, information systems, and other support facilities; make retirement plan contributions, quarterly dividend payments, and interest payments; and fund other cash requirements to support the development of its short-term and long-term operating strategies. The Company generally finances real estate with operating leases. Management believes its cash, cash equivalents, future cash flow from operations, and the Company’s current revolving credit facility will be adequate to fund these requirements.

 

The Company may also from time to time repurchase its common stock or seek to retire or purchase outstanding debt through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

 

Any material adverse change in customer demand, fashion trends, competitive market forces, or customer acceptance of the Company’s merchandise mix and retail locations, uncertainties related to the effect of competitive products and pricing, the Company’s reliance on a few key vendors for a significant portion of its merchandise purchases and risks associated with global product sourcing, economic conditions worldwide, the effects of currency fluctuations, as well as other factors listed under the heading “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” could affect the ability of the Company to continue to fund its needs from business operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2013-02,Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income(“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 amended existing guidance by requiring additional disclosure either on the face of the incomestatement or in the notes to the financial statements of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The provisions of this new guidance were effective prospectively as of the beginning of 2013. Accordingly, enhanced footnote disclosure for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 is included inNote 45. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 had no effect on our results of operations or financialposition.

We performed our annual goodwill impairment assessment during the first quarter of 2013, using a qualitative approach as permitted under Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08,Testing Goodwill for Impairment. In performing the assessment, we identified and considered the significance of relevant key factors, events, and circumstances that affected the fair value and/or carrying amounts of our reporting units. These factors included external factors such as macroeconomic, industry and market conditions, as well as entity-specific factors, such as our actual and planned financial performance. Based on the results of the impairment assessment performed, we concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units substantially exceeded their respective carrying values and there are no reporting units at risk of impairment.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Legal proceedings pending against the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries consist of ordinary, routine litigation, including administrative proceedings, incidental to the business of the Company or businesses that have been sold or disposed of by the Company in past years. These legal proceedings include commercial, intellectual property, customer, environmental, and labor-and-employment-relatedemployment-related claims.

 

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are defendants in a number of lawsuits filed in state and federal courts containing various class action allegations under federal or state wage and hour laws, including allegations concerning unpaid overtime, meal and rest breaks, and uniforms.

 

The Company is a defendant in one such case in which plaintiff alleges that the Company permitted unpaid off-the-clock hours in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act and state labor laws. The case,Pereira v. Foot Locker, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in 2007. In his complaint, in addition to unpaid wage and overtime allegations, plaintiff seeks compensatory and punitive damages, injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs. In 2009, the Court conditionally certified a nationwide collective action. During the course of 2010, notices were sent to approximately 81,888 current and former employees of the Company offering them the opportunity to participate in the class action, and approximately5,027 have opted in.

 

The Company isa defendant in additional purported wage and hour class actions that assert claims similar to those asserted inPereira and seek similar remedies. With the exception ofHill v. Foot Locker filed in state court in Illinois, in 2011,Kissinger v. Foot Locker filed in state court of California,Ghattas v. Foot Locker filed in state court of California,, andCortes v. Foot Locker filed in federal court of New York, all of these actions were consolidated by the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation withPereiraunder the captionIn re Foot Locker, Inc. Fair Labor Standards Act and Wage and Hour Litigation.The consolidatedcases are in thediscovery stages of proceedings. InHill v. Foot Locker, in May 2011, the court granted plaintiffs’ motion for certification of an opt-out class covering certain Illinois employees only. The Company's motion for leave to appeal was denied. The Company has had and continues to have discussions with plaintiff’splaintiffs’ counsel in an attempt to determine whether it will be possible to resolve the consolidated cases andHill. Meanwhile, the Company is vigorously defending these class actions. InGhattas,the court has preliminarily approved a settlement of the action. Due to the inherent uncertainties of such matters, and because fact and expert discovery have not been completed, the Company is currently unable to make an estimate of the range of loss.

The Company and the Company’s U.S. retirement plan are defendants in a purported class action (Osberg v. Foot Locker, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York) in which the plaintiff alleges that, in connection with the 1996 conversion of the retirement plan to a defined benefit plan with a cash balance formula, the Company and the retirement plan failed to properly advise plan participants of the “wear-away” effect of the conversion. Plaintiff asserted claims for: (a) breach of fiduciary duty under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA); (b) violation of the statutory provisions governing the content of the Summary Plan Description; (c) violation of the notice provision of Section 204(h) of ERISA; and (d) violation of ERISA’s age discrimination provisions. In September 2009, the court granted the Company's motion to dismiss the Section 204(h) claim and the age discrimination claim. In December 2012, the court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment on the remaining two claims, dismissing the action. Plaintiff has appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit. Because of the inherent uncertainties of such matters and the current status of this case, the Company is currently unable to make an estimate of loss or range of loss for this case.

 

Management does not believe that the outcome of any such legal proceedings pending against the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries, includingIn re Foot Locker, Inc. Fair Labor Standards Act and Wage and Hour Litigation,Hill, Cortes, Kissinger, Ghattas,and Osberg,as described above, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations, taken as a whole.
