October 3, 2020. Although our various product lines are sold on a year-round basis, the demand for specific products or styles reflects some seasonality, with sales in our June quarter generally being the highest and sales in our December quarter generally being the lowest. For more information regarding our resultsThe COVID-19 pandemic occurred during the seasonally strongest months of operations and financial position, refer to the business.

Note C—New Accounting Standards

 

Recently Adopted Standards

 

In May 2014, August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, ("FASB"), issued Accounting Standards Update, ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"). This new guidance requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, for public business entities and permitted the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early application is permitted only for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. ASU 2014-09 was adopted in our fiscal year beginning September 30, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method and we applied the provisions of ASU 2014-09 to all contracts at the date of adoption.

Our revenue streams consist of wholesale, direct-to-consumer ecommerce and retail stores which are included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The table below identifies the amount and percentage of net sales by distribution channel (in thousands):

Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of the contracts are satisfied. Our performance obligation primarily consists of delivering products to our customers. Control is transferred upon providing the products to customers in our retail stores, upon shipment of our products to the consumers from our ecommerce sites, and upon shipment from our distribution centers to our customers in our wholesale operations. Once control is transferred to the customer, we have completed our performance obligation.

9

Our receivables resulting from wholesale customers are generally collected within two months, in accordance with our established credit terms. Our direct-to-consumer ecommerce and retail store receivables are collected within a few days. Our revenue, including freight income, is recognized net of applicable taxes in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In certain areas of our wholesale business, we offer discounts and allowances to support our customers. Some of these arrangements are written agreements, while others may be implied by customary practices in the industry. Wholesale sales are recorded net of discounts, allowances, and operational chargebacks. As certain allowances and other deductions are not finalized until the end of a season, program or other event which may not have occurred, we estimate such discounts, allowances, and returns that we expect to provide.

In accordance with the new revenue guidance, we only recognize revenue to the extent that it is probable that we will not recognize a significant reversal of revenue when the uncertainties related to the variability are ultimately resolved. In determining our estimates for discounts, allowances, chargebacks, and returns, we consider historical and current trends, agreements with our customers and retailer performance. We record these discounts, returns and allowances as a reduction to net sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and as a liability in our accrued expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with the estimated value of inventory expected to be returned in prepaid and other current assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We have made accounting policy elections related to the new revenue recognition standard. We exclude any taxes collected from customers that are remitted to taxing authorities from net sales. We record shipping and handling charges incurred by us before and after the customer obtains control as a fulfillment cost rather than an additional promised service. Our customers' terms are less than one year from the transfer of goods, and we do not adjust receivable amounts for the impact of the time value of money. We do not capitalize costs of obtaining a contract which we expect to recover, such as commissions, as the amortization period of the asset recognized would be one year or less. We do not believe any of these expedients had a material impact on our financial statements upon our adoption of the guidance.

With the adoption of ASU 2014-09, the timing of revenue recognition for our primary revenue streams remained substantially unchanged, with no material effect on net sales. See the table below (in thousands) for the effect of the adoption of the standard on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 29, 2019 due to the change in recording provisions for customer refunds as a liability instead of netted against trade accounts receivable.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, ("ASU 2016-15"). The amendments add or clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. This was issued with the intent of reducing diversity in practice with respect to certain types of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is required to be adopted retrospectively. ASU 2016-15 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, No.2017 and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU 2016-15 was adopted in our fiscal year beginning September 30, 2018. During the March quarter, we paid $0.6 million in contingent consideration. With the adoption of ASU 2016-15, $0.1 million and $0.5 million were recorded in net cash used in operating activities and financing activities, respectively.

Standards Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases. All leases will be required to be recorded on the balance sheet with the exception of short-term leases. The guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early application permitted. ASU 2016-02 will therefore be adopted in our fiscal year beginning September 29, 2019. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

10

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12,-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities(", ("ASU 2017-12"2017-12"). The amendments in ASU 2017-122017-12 apply to any entity that elects to apply hedge accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP. ASU 2017-122017-12 permits more flexibility in hedging interest rate risk for both variable rate and fixed rate financial instruments, and the ability to hedge risk components for nonfinancial hedges. In addition, this ASU requires an entity to present the earnings effect of hedging the instrument in the same income statement line in which the earnings effect of the hedge item is reported. In addition, companies no longer need to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and can use an amortization approach or continue with mark-to-market accounting. We adopted ASU 2017-12 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU 2017-12 will be adopted in our fiscal year beginning 2017-12 as of September 29, 2019. We are evaluating the2019. The provisions of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material effect that ASU 2017-12 will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements and relatedfinancial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04,2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and other (Topic 350)350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, ("ASU 2017-04"2017-04"). To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, ASU 2017-042017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following a similar processthe procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. UnderInstead, under the amendments in ASU 2017-042017-04, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. ASU 2017-042017-04 also eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Therefore, the same impairment assessment applies to all reporting units. An entity is required to disclose the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. We early adopted ASU 2017-042017-04 as of September 29, 2019. The provisions of ASU 2017-04 did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.2016-02,Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to include most leases on the balance sheet as lease liabilities with an associated right-of-use ("ROU") asset. Since the issuance of ASU 2016-02, the FASB released several amendments to improve and clarify the implementation guidance, as well as to change the allowable adoption methods. These standards have been collectively codified within Accounting Standard Codification, ("ASC ") 842,Leases (“ASC 842”). We adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective method and applied the standard to all leases existing as of September 29, 2019. Information for prior years presented has not been restated and continues to reflect the authoritative accounting standards in effect for those periods. We elected to use the package of practical expedients that allows us to carryforward our historical assessments of whether existing contracts contain leases, determinations of lease classification, and treatments of initial direct costs. As of September 29, 2019, we recognized total operating lease liabilities of $44.6 million in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, of which $36.1 million was recorded within Long-term operating leases, less current maturities and $8.5 million was recorded within Current portion of operating leases. We additionally derecognized $0.8 million of previously recorded net deferred rent balances and recorded operating lease ROU assets of $43.8 million related to our operating leases, which are reflected within Operating lease assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The adoption of the new leasing standard had no significant impact on covenants or other provisions of our secured credit facility.

Standards Not Yet Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No.2018-15,Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”), which will require customers to apply internal-use software guidance to determine the implementation costs that are able to be capitalized. Capitalized implementation costs will be required to be amortized over the term of the arrangement, beginning when the cloud computing arrangement is ready for its intended use. ASU 2018-15 is effective for financial statements issued for annual fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019.within those annual periods. ASU 2017-042018-15 will therefore be adopted ineffective for us as of October 4, 2020 including the interim periods within our fiscal year beginning October 4, 2020.2021 annual period. The standard allows changes to be applied either retrospectively or prospectively. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2017-042018-15 will have on our Consolidated Financial Statementsfinancial statements and related disclosures.

Note D—AcquisitionsRevenue Recognition

 

On October 8, 2018, our DTG2Go, LLC subsidiary purchased substantially allOur revenue streams consist of the assets of Silk Screen Ink, Ltd. d/b/a SSI Digital Print Services ("SSI"), a premium provider of direct-to-garment digital printed products. The SSI business operated from locations in Iowaretail stores, direct-to-consumer ecommerce, and Colorado serving the western and mid-western parts of the United States. During the March quarter, we stopped production at the smaller operation in Colorado as the location was not strategic as it served the same geographic locations as the Iowa and existing Nevada locations.

The financial results of the acquired business have beenwholesale channels which are included in our Delta Group sinceCondensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The table below identifies the dateamount and percentage of the acquisition. It is not practicable to disclose thenet sales by revenue and income of SSI since the acquisition date as we have integrated the SSI and DTG2Go businesses together since acquisition.

The SSI acquisition purchase price consisted of $2.0 million in cash, a promissory note for $7.0 million and $3.0 million in capital lease funding secured by the acquired fixed assets. The cash portion of the purchase price included a payment at closing of $2.0 million and a post-closing net working capital adjustment. The post–closing net working capital adjustment of $0.7 million was paid during the March quarter. The below table represents the total consideration for the acquisitionstream (in thousands):

The Amended Credit Agreement allows us to borrow up to $145$170 million (subject to borrowing base limitations), including a maximum of $25 million in letters of credit. Provided that no event of default exists, we have the option to increase the maximum credit to $200 million (subject to borrowing base limitations), conditioned upon the Administrative Agent's ability to secure additional commitments and customary closing conditions. The credit facility matures on May 10, 2021.

As of June 29, 201927, 2020, there was $114.8$106.5 million outstanding under our U.S. revolving credit facility at an average interest rate of 4.7% and additional borrowing2.9%. Our cash on hand combined with the availability of $21.6 million. Thisunder the U.S. credit facility includes a financial covenant requiring that if the amount of availability falls below the threshold amounts set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement, our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”) (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) for the preceding 12-month period must not be less than 1.1 to 1.0. We were not subject to the FCCR covenant at totaled $45.7 million. At June 29,27, 2020, and September 28, 2019, because our availability was above the minimum required under the Amended Credit Agreement, but we would have satisfied our financial covenant had we been subject to it. At June 29, 2019, and September 29, 2018, there was $14.4$6.3 million and $14.7$16.1 million, respectively, of retained earnings free of restrictions to make cash dividends or stock repurchases.

 

The Amended Credit Agreement contains a subjective acceleration clause and a “springing” lockbox arrangement (as defined in FASB Codification No. 470, Debt ("ASC 470")) whereby remittances from customers will be forwarded to our general bank account and will not reduce the outstanding debt until and unless a specified event or an event of default occurs. Pursuant to ASC 470, we classify borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement as long-term debt.

In August 2013, we acquired Salt Life and issued two promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $22.0 million, which included a one-time installment of $9.0 million that was due and paid as required on September 30, 2014, and quarterly installments commencing on March 31, 2015, with the final installment due on June 30, 2019. The promissory notes are zero-interest notes and state that interest will be imputed as required under Section 1274 of the Internal Revenue Code. We imputed interest at 1.92% on the promissory note that matured on June 30, 2016, and was paid in full as required. We impute interest at 3.62% on the promissory note that matured on June 30, 2019. At June 29, 2019, the discounted value of the promissory note outstanding was $0.5 million.Promissory Note

 

On October 8, 2018, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Silk Screen Ink, Ltd. d/b/a SSI Digital Print Services.  See Note-D Acquisitions for more information on this transaction. In conjunction with the acquisition, we issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $7.0 million. The promissory note bears interest at 6% with quarterly installments beginning which began January 2, 2019, with the final installment due October 1, 2021. As of June 29, 201927, 2020, there was $5.9$3.5 million outstanding on the promissory note.

 

Honduran Debt

Since March 2011, we have entered into term loans and a revolving credit facility with Banco Ficohsa, a Honduran bank, to finance both the operations and capital expansion of our Honduran facilities. Each of these loans is secured by a first-priorityfirst-priority lien on the assets of our Honduran operations and is not guaranteed by our U.S. entities. These loans are denominated in U.S. dollars and Honduran lempiras and the carrying value of the debt approximates its fair value. The revolving credit facility requires minimum payments during each ninesix-month period of the 18-month term;12 to 18 month terms; however, the loan agreement permits additional drawdowns to the extent payments are made and certain objective covenants are met. The current revolving Honduran debt, by its nature, is not long-term, as it requires scheduled payments each six months. However, as the loan permits us to re-borrow funds up to the amount repaid, subject to certain objective covenants, and we intend to re-borrow funds, subject to those covenants, the amounts have been classified as long-term debt.  In response to COVID-19 pandemic, monthly term loan payments were paused during the June fiscal quarter and resumed in the September fiscal quarter.

Note G—Leases

We lease property and equipment under operating lease arrangements, most of which relate to distribution centers and manufacturing facilities in the U.S., Honduras, El Salvador, and Mexico. We also lease machinery and equipment in the U.S. under finance lease arrangements. We include both the contractual term as well as any renewal option that we are reasonably certain to exercise in the determination of our lease terms. For leases with a term of greater than 12 months, we value lease liabilities and the related assets as the present value of the lease payments over the related term. We apply the short-term lease exception to leases with a term of 12 months or less and exclude such leases from our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Payments related to these short-term leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term and are reflected as a component of lease cost within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Our operating lease agreements for buildings generally include provisions for the payment of our proportional share of operating costs, property taxes, and other variable payments. These incremental payments are excluded from our calculation of operating lease liabilities and right of use assets. We have elected to use the practical expedient present in ASC 842 to not separate lease and non-lease components for all significant underlying asset classes and instead account for them together as a single lease component in the measurement of our lease liabilities.

Generally, the rate implicit in our operating leases is not readily determinable. Therefore, we discount future lease payments using our estimated incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement. We determine this rate based on a credit-adjusted risk-free rate, which approximates a secured rate over the lease term. The weighted average discount rate for operating leases as of June 27, 2020, was 4.2%. We discount our finance lease payments based on the rate implicit and stated in the lease. The weighted average discount rate for finance leases as of June 27, 2020, was 5.2%.

Our Ceiba Textiles manufacturing facility is leased under an operating lease arrangement with a Honduran company, of which we own 31% of the outstanding capital stock of the lessor at June 27, 2020. During the nine-months ended June 27, 2020, and June 29, 2019, we paid approximately $0.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in lease payments under this arrangement.

As of June 27, 2020, we had $42.9 million of operating lease ROU assets which were reflected within Operating lease assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, and $24.5 million of finance lease ROU assets, which were reflected within Property, plant, and equipment, net in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The weighted average remaining lease terms for our operating leases and finance leases were approximately 7 years and 3 years, respectively, as of June 27, 2020.

The components of total lease expense were as follows for the nine months ended June 27, 2020 (in thousands):

Operating lease fixed expense

 $8,355 

Operating lease variable cost expense

  1,054 

Finance lease amortization of ROU assets expense

  2,519 

Finance lease interest expense

  728 

Total lease expense

 $12,656 

Total operating lease expense, excluding variable lease costs, recognized during the nine months ended June 29, 2019, prior to the adoption of ASC 842, was $7.9 million. In addition, during the nine months ended June 29, 2019, we incurred expenses related to finance leases, including interest expense and depreciation expense, related to financed machinery and equipment.

Cash outflows for operating lease payments and for interest payments on finance leases during the nine months ended June 27, 2020, were $8.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and are classified within net cash provided by operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Cash outflows for finance lease payments during the nine months ended June 27, 2020, were $3.2 million and are classified within net cash used in financing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

During the three month period ended June 27, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company entered into certain lease arrangements deferring approximately $1.7 million of operating lease payments and approximately $1.7 million of finance lease payments. The operating lease deferrals will be paid over the next 12 months while finance lease deferrals will be repaid at the end of each lease.

ROU assets obtained in exchange for operating lease and finance lease liabilities during the nine months ended June 27, 2020, were $6.6 million and $5.0 million, respectively.

Note K—L—Income Taxes

 

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “New Tax Legislation”) was enacted on December 22, 2017, which significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax code by, among other things, lowering federal corporate income tax rates, implementing a modified territorial tax system and imposing a repatriation tax ("transition tax") on deemed repatriated cumulative earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The New Tax Legislation created, among other things, a new requirement that certain income earned by controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”) mustsubsidiaries which will be included currently in the gross income of the CFCs’ U.S. shareholder.paid over eight years. In addition, new taxes were imposed related to foreign income, including a tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) as well as a limitation on the deduction for business interest expense (“Section 163(j)163(j)")".

GILTI is the excess of the shareholder’s net CFCcontrolled foreign corporations ("CFC") net tested income over the net deemed tangible income.  GILTI income is eligible for a deduction of up to 50% of the income inclusion, but the deduction is limited to the amount of U.S. adjusted taxable income.  The Section 163(j)163(j) limitation does not allow the amount of deductible interest to exceed the sum of the taxpayer's business interest income or 30% of the taxpayer’s adjusted taxable income and the taxpayer’s floor plan financing interest expense for the year. We have included in our calculation of our effective tax rate the estimated impact of GILTI and Section 163(j).163(j) which were effective for us beginning in fiscal year 2019. We have elected to account for the tax on GILTI as a period cost and, therefore, do not record deferred taxes related to GILTI on our foreign subsidiaries.

 

In the quarter ended December 30, 2017, whenThe Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES Act”), which was enacted on March 27, 2020, provided temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws, including some provisions which were previously enacted under the New Tax Legislation was enacted, we made reasonable estimatesLegislation. The CARES Act revised the U.S. corporate income tax code on a temporary basis by, among other things, eliminating the 80% of taxable income limitation on net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards, allowing NOL carrybacks, and increasing the effects on our existing deferred tax balances andSection 163(j) interest limitation deduction from 30% to 50% of adjusted taxable income. We have included the transition tax, recording $10.6 millionestimated impact of tax expense based on an estimate of our total earnings and profits (E&P) from our foreign subsidiaries which were previously deferred from U.S. taxes. During the quarter ended September 29, 2018, we increased the provisional amount by $0.1 million based on our E&P study resulting in $10.7 million recordedthese provisions in our 2018 fiscal year. The transitioneffective tax will be paid over eight years. The transitional tax was finalized during the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and is no longer considered provisional.rate calculation.

 

Our effective income tax rate on operations for the nine-month period ended June 29, 2019, 27, 2020, was 23.6% compared to a rate of 16.8%. For in the nine-monthsame period ended June 30, 2018, ourof the prior year and an effective income tax rate excluding the $10.6 million provision related to the New Tax Legislation, was 10.5%. Our effective income tax rate on operationsof 5.5% for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2018, excluding the $10.7 million provision related to the New Tax Legislation, was a benefit of 1.7%.

2019.We intend to reinvest all of our unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries and therefore, outside of the transition tax mentioned previously, we have provided no provision for income taxes which may result from withholding taxes and/or other outside basis differences.  We believe that the determination of such income taxes is impracticable.

Wegenerally benefit from having income in foreign jurisdictions that are either exempt from income taxes or have tax rates that are lower than those in the United States. Based on our current projected pre-tax income and the anticipated amount of U.S. taxable income compared to profits in the offshore taxable and tax-free jurisdictions in which we operate, our estimated annual income tax rate for the fiscal year ending September 28, 2019, is currently expected to be approximately 17%-19%. However,As such, changes in the mix of U.S. taxable income compared to profits in tax-free or lower-tax jurisdictions can have a significant impact on our overall effective tax rate. Furthermore, we may be limited in our ability to deduct 50% of applicable foreign earnings under the GILTI income inclusion or to deduct U.S. interest expense based on anticipated lower U.S. taxable income due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the finalfuture impact of the CARES Act and New Tax Legislation may differ from our estimates,historical amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations additional regulatoryand assumptions made regarding the CARES Act and New Tax Legislation, guidance that may be issued, additional information that may become available to us, and actions we may take as a result of the CARES Act and New Tax Legislation.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. Tax years 2015, 2016, and 2017, according to statute and with few exceptions, remain open to examination by various federal, state, local and foreign jurisdictions.

 

 

 

Note L—M—Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements

 

From time to time, we may use interest rate swaps or other instruments to manage our interest rate exposure and reduce the impact of future interest rate changes. These financial instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes. We have designated our interest rate swap contracts as cash flow hedges of our future interest payments. As a result, the gains and losses on the swap contracts are reported as a component of other comprehensive income and are reclassified into interest expense as the related interest payments are made. All componentsAs of June 27, 2020, all of other comprehensive income arewas attributable to shareholders.  As of June 29, 2019, there are no componentsshareholders; none related to the non-controlling interest.  Outstanding instruments as of June 29, 201927, 2020, are as follows:

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are grouped in three levels. The levels prioritize the inputs used to measure the fair value of the assets or liabilities. These levels are:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

   
 

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are less active.

The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements was derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the forward interest rate curves adjusted for our credit risk, which fall in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. At June 29,27, 2020 and September 28, 2019,, book value for fixed rate debt approximates fair value based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to us for debt of the same remaining maturities (a Level 2 fair value measurement).

At September 28, 2019, the fair value of contingent consideration was estimated at $8.9 million. During the nine-months ended June 27, 2020, $2.5 million was paid related to the 2019 period. As of June 27, 2020, we estimate the fair value of contingent consideration to be $6.8 million, a $0.4 million increase, excluding the $2.5 million payment, from September 28, 2019, resulting from changes in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for derivatives relatedprojections and adjustments to our interest swap agreements as of June 29, 2019, and September 29, 2018 (in thousands):the discount rate.

In August 2013, we acquired Salt Life, and issuedwhich included contingent consideration as part of the purchase price and which is payable in cash after the end of calendar year 2019 if financial performance targets involving the sale of Salt Life-branded products are met during the 2019 calendar year. We usedDuring fiscal year 2020, it was determined that the calendar year 2019 performance targets were not achieved and, as a Monte Carlo model utilizingresult, the historical results and projected cash flows based on the contractually defined terms, discounted$0.2 million accrual as necessary, to estimate the fair value of theSeptember 28, 2019, was reversed. At June 27, 2020, no amount was accrued for contingent consideration for Salt Life at the acquisition date as well as to remeasure the contingent consideration relatedin relation to the acquisition of Salt Life at each reporting period.  Accordingly, the fair value measurement for contingent consideration falls in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.Life.

Note N—Legal Proceedings

 

AtJune 29, 2019, we had $0.2 million accrued in contingent consideration related to the Salt Life acquisition, a $1.1 million reduction from the accrual at September 29, 2018. The reduction in the fair value of contingent consideration is recorded in other income and is based on the inputs into the Monte Carlo model, including the time remaining in the measurement period and our expectations of sales in calendar year 2019 which have been reduced based on our current view of the retail environment.

On March 9, 2018, we acquired Teeshirt Ink, Inc. d/b/a DTG2Go. The purchase price consisted of $16.6 million in cash and additional contingent consideration based on achievement of certain performance targets related to sales and EBITDA for the period from April 1, 2018, through September 29, 2018, as well as for our fiscal years 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, in accordance with the purchase agreement, contingent consideration of $0.6 million was paid to the sellers for the earn-out period from April 1, 2018, through September 29, 2018.  During the nine-months ended June 29, 2019, we expensed $0.6 million to increase the contingent consideration primarily driven from the time value from the discount period.

At June 29, 2019, we had a total of $9.4 million accrued in contingent consideration, a $1.1 million decrease from the accrual at September 29, 2018. The decrease is driven by the $0.6 million payment made during the second fiscal quarter along with a $0.5 million decrease in the accrual which is recorded in other income. The fair value of contingent consideration is based on the inputs into the Monte Carlo model, including the time remaining in the measurement period. Accordingly, the fair value measurement for contingent consideration falls in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Sports Authority Bankruptcy Litigation

Soffe was previously involved in several related litigation matters stemming from The Sports Authority's ("TSA") March 2, 2016, filing of a voluntary petition(s) for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "TSA Bankruptcy"). Prior to such filing, Soffe provided TSA with products to be sold on a consignment basis pursuant to a "pay by scan" agreement and the litigation matters related to Soffe's interest in the products it provided TSA on a consignment basis (the "Products") and the proceeds derived from the sale of such products (the "Proceeds").

TSA Stores, Inc. and related entities TSA Ponce, Inc. and TSA Caribe, Inc. filed an action against Soffe on March 16, 2016, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "TSA Action") including requests for declaratory judgment on a variety of matters related to the Products and Proceeds as well as several related claims. TSA lender Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as Successor Administrative and Collateral Agent ("WSFS"), intervened in the TSA Action seeking declaratory judgment on a variety of matters related to the Products and Proceeds and including several related claims. Soffe subsequently asserted counterclaims against WSFS in the TSA Action seeking declaratory judgment on a variety of matters related to the Products and Proceeds.

On November 26, 2018, the court issued an order in favor of WSFS with respect to its claimed interest in the majority of the Products and Proceeds. Soffe, WSFS, TSA Stores, Inc., TSA Ponce, Inc. and TSA Caribe, Inc. subsequently reached agreement to settle the above-referenced matters, with Soffe agreeing to pay approximately $2.5 million in exchange for a comprehensive release of all claims at issue in the matters. These matters have now been finally resolved, with the agreed amounts funded on December 31, 2018. We recorded the settlement expense in other expense, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three-month period ended December 29, 2018.

In addition to the foregoing, at times we are party to various legal claims, actions and complaints. We believe that, as a result of legal defenses, insurance arrangements, and indemnification provisions with parties believed to be financially capable, such actions should not have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

Goodwill was recorded in conjunction with our acquisitions of Salt Life and DTG2Go businesses and represents the acquired goodwill, net of the $0.6 million cumulative impairment losses recorded in fiscal year 2011. The goodwill recorded on our financial statements is included in both of our segments, with $18.0 million At June 27, 2020, the Salt Life reporting unit within the Salt Life Group segment and $19.9 million included inDTG2Go reporting unit within the Delta Group segment had goodwill of $19.9 million and $18.0 million, respectively. We evaluate the carrying value of goodwill annually on the first day of our third fiscal quarter or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have occurred. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in business climate, increased competition or other economic conditions.

As of March 29, 2020, we performed our annual goodwill impairment evaluation and concluded that the goodwill for the Salt Life Group, respectively.

On October 8, 2018, we acquired substantiallyand DTG2Go reporting units were not impaired. The goodwill impairment testing process involved the use of significant assumptions, estimates and judgments with respect to a variety of factors, including projected sales, gross margins, selling, general and administrative expenses, capital expenditures and cash flows and the selection of an appropriate discount rate, all of which are subject to inherent uncertainties and subjectivity. Our assumptions were based on annual business plans and other forecasted results as well as the assetsselection of Silk Screen Ink, Ltd. d/b/a SSI Digital Print Services. See Note D—Acquisitions.discount rate, all of which we believe represent those of a market participant. We have identified certainalso believe these assumptions are reflective of the current macro-economic environment, including our best estimate of the impacts of the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Although we are aggressively managing our response to the pandemic, its impact on the Salt Life and DTG2Go reporting units' full year fiscal 2020 and beyond results and cash flows is uncertain. We believe that the most significant elements of uncertainty are the intensity and duration of the impact on retailers as well as the ability of our customers, supply chain, and distribution to operate with minimal disruption for the remainder of fiscal 2020 and beyond, all of which could negatively impact the reporting units' financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Given the current macro-economic environment and the uncertainties regarding its potential impact on our business, there can be no assurance that our estimates and assumptions used in our impairment tests will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions regarding fair value are not achieved, it is possible that an impairment review may be triggered and goodwill or other intangible assets associated with the acquisition, including technology, customer relationships, non-compete agreements and goodwill. While we are stillmay be impaired in the process of finalizing the valuations of the intangible assets acquired, we provisionally valued goodwill associated with SSI at $4.7 million, and customer relationships and non-compete agreements at $2.9 million.a future period.

Business Outlook

 

Business OutlookOur fiscal 2020 third quarter results were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which halted retail in the U.S. beginning in mid-March through the first half of the quarter, as well as disrupted our offshore manufacturing plant operations for most of the quarter. Net sales were approximately 60% of net sales in the prior year quarter, with monthly sales performance sequentially accelerating from April sales at 33% of prior year to June sales tracking at nearly 90% of prior year levels.

 

We were pleasedare encouraged at the momentum experienced across our business segments as the third quarter progressed, which further validates our strategic advantages, including our diversification of sales channels, our broad geographic footprint, and the strong connection our Salt Life and Soffe brands have with consumers. During the third quarter, direct-to-consumer sales significantly increased, including ecommerce sales that more than doubled compared to deliver overallprior year, led by sales growth of approximately 140% on the Salt Life ecommerce site and earnings80% on the Soffe consumer site. We anticipate continued strength in orders from ecommerce channels, both on our branded consumer sites and our retail partners’ sites.

The June quarter delivered record non-holiday performance in the DTG2Go business, a market leader in the direct-to-garment digital print and fulfillment industry, which registered net sales growth for our thirdthe quarter with both our Delta Group and Salt Life Group segments performing well.  Our investmentsof 32%, including 38% year-over-year growth in new manufacturing technologies, speed-to-market distribution strategies, and additional sales channelsthe month of June.  We continue to generate growth opportunitiessee impressive demand for our unique DTG2Go model.  We are the only digital print supplier in the world that can offer a seamless, vertically-integrated solution, utilizing our proprietary software and internal supply chain to offer a fully-decorated, on-demand product shipped directly to the consumer, eliminating non-value added costs and reducing the risk of third-party supply chains.  We see this as a tremendous competitive advantage. With the recent disruptions in supply chains and the inability for consumers to shop in traditional retail stores due to COVID-19, the benefits of our DTG2Go model have become apparent in the marketplace.  We were able to continue operations, utilizing our network of facilities across the country, giving our businessesexisting customers, and differentiate us from competitors.  We expect to capitalize on this momentum and further accelerate our top and bottom-line performance as we bring our fiscal year tonew customers, a close. source of expanded revenue during times when needed most.

 

Customer diversification remainsTo provide the expanded capacity needed for DTG2Go to meet the rapidly growing demands for our digital print model, we plan to open a key strategic focusnew integrated digital print and our DTG2Godistribution facility in Phoenix, Arizona, combining DTG2Go’s digital print business is taking advantagewith Delta Apparel’s own supply of excitinggarments. The Phoenix facility will increase DTG2Go’s footprint to eight digital printing locations across the U.S., further expanding its one-day shipping reach to multiple markets, including Phoenix, Tucson, and into portions of southern California. As a part of the expansion, the Company plans to increase its fleet of digital printers by 10%, including adding eight new opportunities inKornit Atlas printers to Phoenix.  Overall, the Phoenix facility gives DTG2Go the space to ultimately operate sixteen digital print machines, giving DTG2Go future expansion opportunities.

The Phoenix facility will join our network of U.S.-based distribution centers that have generally remained open and operational throughout the third quarter. We are committed to servicing our customers with same-day shipping, picking to the piece level, retail ready packaging and EDI support, and operate the majority of our business based on at-once orders. We maintain an inventory position at these distribution centers to service our customers’ needs.

During the latter half of the quarter, we saw orders accelerating and coming from a varietybroader base of channels including its traditional e-retailer base.  The adoptionsales channels. Our Activewear business experienced sequential sales growth each month of DTG2Go’s virtual inventory modelthe quarter, which included our Catalog business returning to sales growth in the brick and mortar retailer channel demonstratesmonth of June compared to prior year driven by strength in the significant untapped potential for on-demand printing and fulfillment. We recently began offering customers in this channel the additional "retail-ready" service of affixing unique universal product codes (UPC) and other packaging options to products to allow a seamless customer experience with on-demand and in-store purchases. We see similar growth opportunities within other channels, including retail license, promotional products, large brands, screen printers, team uniforms and social media, as we continue to differentiate ourselves from competitors through not only value-added services but also our first-to-market adoption of polyester printing technology.  To further solidify our leadership position in this area we are expanding our fulfillment footprint and capacity through the opening of two new facilities in New Jersey and Texas.  These new facilities will continue our strategy of integrating DTG2Go’s on-demand platform with our Activewear business’s cost-effective blank garment supply in combined locations and also give DTG2Go the unique ability to reach over half of all U.S. consumers with one-day shipping, including the key New York City and Dallas metropolitan areas. 

Market conditions in our core Activewear business are solid, with demand for our higher-margin Catalog fashion basics products and Western Hemisphere manufacturing platform continuing to accelerate.licensing channel. Our FunTees private label business remains on pace for record unit sales for the year and, as expected, profitability is improving as we move past the new customer start-up expenses and other costs impacting prior periods.  Our emphasis on newdiversified sales channels such as direct-to-retail and ecommerce, andcoupled with cross-selling opportunities involving the DTG2Go and Soffe decoration platforms, is drivingshould continue to drive new Catalog business. Our FunTees business along with valuablewas impacted by our El Salvador plant being closed for the majority of the quarter, although we were able to service several orders utilizing our Mexico facilities which were operational for several weeks during the quarter. We expect that our diversified customer diversification. We anticipate morebase within the FunTees business, as well as our new direct-to-retail programs, will provide a balanced growth at Activewear as we further leverage our internal manufacturing capacity and build out our distribution network with unique, single-solution facilities integrated with DTG2Go’s digital printing. strategy for this business.

 

We were pleased to see both top and bottom-line improvement from our SoffeThe strength of the Salt Life brand with consumers was apparent during the third quarter and believe there arequarter. Sales on the Salt Life branded consumer site more opportunities for growth going forward.  We are pursuing a variety of programsthan doubled in the military channel and look for conditionsquarter compared to prior year. Following the opening of all our branded retail stores by the end of May 2020, we experienced same store sales increases of 5% compared to prior year. In addition, our newly opened stores generated approximately 50% incremental sales dollars compared to prior year. As our retail partners opened their stores in the specialty channellatter half of the quarter, the Salt Life wholesale orders resumed, resulting in a 7% net sales growth for the Salt Life Group segment in June compared to remain solid going into the holiday season. The Soffe brand also continues to gain momentum with key ecommerce partners and the growth to date in direct-to-consumer sales from Soffe’s ecommerce and brick and mortar retail platforms indicates that the brand’s authenticity and heritage are resonating with consumers.prior year.

 

WeWhile our non-U.S. manufacturing operations were pleasedclosed for most of the quarter, we are encouraged that by the end of June we had resumed production at all of our manufacturing plants.  In accordance with the strong double-digit sales growth in our Salt Life business during the third quarter, including expansion across all major sales channels.  We expect the momentumlocal regulations, we have implemented strict safety protocols and will operate at Salt Life to continue as the brand expands geographically through growth with national and regional retailers, and to potentially escalate with several new key account opportunities on the horizon. The increasing penetration of Salt Life’s higher-priced performance products within both wholesale and direct-to-consumer channels and the success of brand extensions such as Salt Life Lager and Salt Life Food Shack restaurants continue to broaden the brand’s audience and lifestyle positioning. Salt Life Lager is now sold in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and South Carolina, and we expect it to be available in additional marketsa reduced capacity in the near term. New Salt Life-branded brickterm for the safety our employees and mortar retail stores in Orlandoto align our production levels with anticipated future business.

Our third quarter fiscal 2020 results included approximately $23.1 million of expenses associated with the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. These costs primarily related to the curtailment of our manufacturing operations, incremental costs to right size production to new forecasted demand, and Key West, Florida are scheduledincreased accounts receivable and inventory reserves related to openthe heightened risks in the next few quarters, along with several more locations in Florida and South Carolina now under development, should also drive more consumer awareness and revenue formarket as the brand.U.S. continues its recovery. We anticipate incurring approximately $3 million of higher production expenses during the September quarter related to the start-up of manufacturing production.

Results of Operations

Our financial results have been presented on a generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") basis and, in certain limited instances, we have presented our financial results on a GAAP and non-GAAP (“adjusted”) basis, which is further described in the sections entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

 

Net sales for the thirdJune quarter were $71.8 million compared to sales of $119.3 million up $7.1 million, or over 6%, fromin the prior year period’s net sales of $112.2 million. DTG2Go continued its accelerated sales growth with an increase of 63% from the prior quarter. Organic growth as well as the acquisition of the SSI Digital Print business acquired in fiscal year 2019 drove this increase. Salt Life and Soffe had sales growth of approximately 18% and 3%, respectively, and Activewear sales were flat with the prior yearJune quarter. For the first nine months of 2019,2020, net sales grew 7%were $264.4 million compared to $323.8 million from $302.5 millionmillion.

Our direct-to-consumer sales channels, comprised of consumer-facing ecommerce sites and our branded retail stores, increased 153% to over $47 million, and Salt Life sales grew by 7% to over $30 million.

Adjusting for $14.5 million of year-to-date COVID impacts, gross margins in thewould have been 19.4%, an expansion of 340 basis points from prior year.

The Salt Life Group segment gross margins were 47.3%40.8% in the third quarter compared to 49.1%47.3% in the prior year quarter due to a changequarter. Margins were impacted by increased product costs from recently-enacted tariffs and by fewer garments produced off-shore in the current quarter, partially offset by a higher sales mix of more profitable direct-to-consumer ecommerce and retail sales.

For the first nine months of fiscal year 2020, Salt Life Group segment income was $0.2 million compared to $5.6 million in the prior year. Operating income declined from lower sales coupled with higher product costs from the newly-enacted tariffs on imported goods.  In addition, the prior year benefited from a $1.3 million discrete gain realized from the settlement of a commercial litigation matter amountsin the June quarter as well as favorable adjustments to $1.3 million and derives from a claim Salt Life previously filed with the BP Deepwater Horizon claims fund administration established in connection with the 2010 oil spill off of the Gulf Coast seeking damages for the impacts of the spill on Salt Life's business. The change in fair value of contingent consideration was associated with the DTG2Go acquisitions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

We provide all information required in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but we believe that evaluating our ongoing operating results may be difficult if limited to reviewing only U.S. GAAP financial measures. In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results, we also provide non-GAAP information that management believes is useful to investors. We discuss gross margin, SG&A expenses, operating income, net income and earnings per diluted share performance measures that are, for comparison purposes, adjusted to eliminate items or results stemming from discrete events. We do this because management uses these measures in evaluating our underlying performance on a consistent basis across periods. We also believe these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of our ongoing performance. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and securities analysts, investors and other interested parties should not consider any of these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The tables below reconcile operating income, net income and earnings per diluted share to adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share (in thousands except per share data):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our current primary cash needs are for working capital, capital expenditures, and debt service, as well as to fund share repurchases under our Stock Repurchase Program.

 

Operating Cash Flows

 

Operating activities used $8.5provided $22.0 million in cash in the first nine months of fiscal year 20192020 compared to $8.5 million of cash provided in operations of $4.0 millionused in the first nine months of fiscal year 2018.2019. The increased useimproved operating cash flows in 2020 relate to an increase in direct-to-consumer and DTG2Go sales during the June quarter, which benefited us with a quicker cash collections cycle, while reducing inventory levels as inventory sold was not replaced because of cash from the prior year is primarily duemanufacturing disruptions beginning in mid-March 2020.   In addition, we slowed payments to more inventory units from expansionour suppliers during the June quarter and negotiated deferrals for the June quarter with the majority of skus and the SSI acquisition as well as timing of payments from our customers.operating lease landlords.

 

Investing Cash Flows

 

Cash used for capitalCapital expenditures was $4.2were $4.4 million during the first nine months of fiscal year 20192020 compared to $4.3$4.2 million in the same period last year. Capital expenditures in both periodsrelated primarily related to machinery and equipment, including investments in our digital print business. In addition,distribution expansion, retail stores, and printing equipment. During fiscal year 2019, property, plant, and equipment of $3.4 million waswere acquired as part of the SSI acquisition during fiscal year 2019. There was an additional $6.7 million in expenditures financed under capital lease arrangements and $0.8 million in unpaid expenditures as of June 29, 2019. During the first nine months of fiscal year 2018, investing cash flows also included $1.9 million in proceeds received from the promissory note related to the sale of our Junkfood business.

Investing activities for the first nine months of fiscal year 2018 included $5.8 million of proceeds from the sale of fixed assets. Property, plant, and equipment (“equipment”) of $5.0 million was acquired as part of the DTG2Go acquisition. Subsequently, a capital lease arrangement was entered into to finance the purchase of the equipment. There were $6.7$3.8 million in expenditures financed under a capital lease arrangement and $0.8$1.8 million in unpaid expenditures as of June 29, 2019.27, 2020.

 

We anticipate our fiscal year 20192020 capital expenditures, including those financed under capital leases, to be approximately $15$18 million and to be focused primarily on digital print equipment and our distribution expansion, along with information technology and direct-to-consumer enhancements.

 

Financing Activities

 

During the nine months ended June 29, 2019,27, 2020, cash providedused by financing activities was $17.3$1.4 million compared to $4.1$17.3 million provided by financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2018.29, 2019.  The cash provided by financing activities during the first nine months of fiscal year 2020 was used to fund our operating activities, certain capital investments, and share repurchases. The cash provided by our financing activities during the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 was used to fund the SSI digital print acquisition as well as fund our operating activities and share repurchases.

 

Based onFuture Liquidity and Capital Resources

See Note F – Debt to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of our current expectations, we believe thatvarious financing arrangements, including the terms of our revolving U.S. credit facility.

Our credit facility, should be sufficientas amended on April 27, 2020, as well as cash flows from operations, are intended to satisfy our foreseeable working capital needs, and that cash flow generated by our operations and funds available under our credit facility should be sufficient to service our debt payment requirements, to satisfyfund our day-to-day working capital needs, and along with capital lease financing arrangements, to fund our planned capital expenditures. AnyHowever, any material deterioration in our results of operations, however,such as could occur with the COVID-19 pandemic, may result in the loss of our ability to borrow under our U.S. revolving credit facility and to issue letters of credit to suppliers, or may cause the borrowing availability under that facility to be insufficient for our needs. Availability under our credit facility is primarily a function of the levels of our accounts receivable and inventory. A significant deterioration in our accounts receivable or inventory levels could restrict our ability to borrow additional funds or service our indebtedness. Moreover,

Prior to the Fifth Amendment executed on April 27, 2020, our credit facility includesincluded a financial covenant that if the availability under our credit facility falls below the amounts specified in our U.S. credit agreement, our fixed charge coverage ratio (FCCR)("FCCR") for the preceding 12-month period must not be less than 1.1 to 1.0. WhileThe Fifth Amendment amends the financial covenant provisions from the amendment date through October 3, 2020, including effectively lowering the minimum availability thresholds and removing the requirement that our availability at FCCR for the preceding 12-month period must not be less than 1.1 to 1.0. As of June 29, 2019, was27, 2020, we maintained availability above the minimum availability thresholds specified in our credit agreement,but were below the 1.1 to 1.0 FCCR for the preceding 12-month period primarily due to the non-recurring expenses recorded during the June 2020 quarter. Following the expiration of these Fifth Amendment terms on October 3, 2020, a significant deterioration in our business could cause our availability to fall below suchminimum thresholds, thereby requiring us to maintain the minimum FCCR specified in our credit agreement.agreement, which we may not be able to maintain.

 

Purchases By Delta Apparel Of Its Own Shares

 

During the nine months ended June 29, 2019,27, 2020, we purchased 141,50199,971 shares of our common stock for an aggregate amount of $2.7$2.0 million (see Note N—Repurchase of Common Stock). As of June 29, 2019,27, 2020, there was $9.5$7.5 million of repurchase authorization remaining under our Stock Repurchase Program. We evaluate current leverage, working capital requirements, our free cash flow outlook, stock valuation and future business opportunitiesDuring March 2020, we temporarily suspended share repurchases in an effort to determine when we believepreserve liquidity during the repurchase of our stock is a sound investment opportunity that we can pursue without sacrificing future growth plans.COVID-19 pandemic.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant estimates and assumptions relate to revenue recognition, accounts receivable and related reserves, inventory and related reserves, the carrying value of goodwill, and the accounting for income taxes.

 

A detailed discussion of critical accounting policies is contained in the Significant Accounting Policies included in Note 2 to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2018,28, 2019, and there have been no changes in those policies, except as disclosed in Note C—New Accounting Standards related to the adoption of the new revenue recognitionlease accounting standard, since the filing of that Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC.

 


Environmental and Regulatory Matters

 

We are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other things, wastewater discharges, storm water flows, air emissions and solid waste disposal. Some of our facilities generate small quantities of hazardous waste that are either recycled or disposed of off-site.

 

The environmental regulations applicable to our business are becoming increasingly stringent and we incur capital and other expenditures annually to achieve compliance with environmental standards. We currently do not expect that the amount of expenditures required to comply with environmental laws and regulations will have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial condition or liquidity. There can be no assurance, however, that future changes in federal, state, or local regulations, interpretations of existing regulations or the discovery of currently unknown problems or conditions will not require substantial additional expenditures. Similarly, while we believe that we are currently in material compliance with all applicable environmental requirements, the extent of our liability, if any, for past failures to comply with laws, regulations and permits applicable to our operations cannot be determined and could have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial condition and liquidity.

The World Health Organization has declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, and the virus continues to spread in areas where we operate and sell our products. The COVID-19 pandemic, and similar pandemics or disruptions in the future, have had an adverse effect and could continue to adversely effect our performance and results of operations. These pandemics or disruptions could also impact our financial condition, liquidity, and capital investments. Several public health organizations have recommended, and some local and foreign governments have implemented, certain measures to slow and limit the transmission of the virus, including shelter in place and social distancing ordinances. Such preventive measures, or others we may voluntarily put in place, may have a material adverse effect on our business for an indefinite period of time, such as the potential shutdown of certain locations, decreased employee availability, potential border closures, and others. In mid-March 2020, all of our branded retail locations were temporarily closed in compliance with guidelines for retail store operations and were re-opened by the end of May 2020. Our facilities in El Salvador and Honduras were temporarily closed in mid-March through late June due to government-mandated country shutdowns. In addition, we experienced intermittent closures during the June quarter at our manufacturing facilities in Mexico and North Carolina. As of June 27, 2020, all our manufacturing facilities were open and operating. Uncertainty remains whether our retail stores and plants may be required to close again.

Many of our customers and suppliers also face these and other challenges, which could lead to reduced demand for our products and services and a disruption in our supply chain. These challenges could impair our customers' ability to pay all or a portion of amounts owed to us per the sales agreements, resulting in reduced cash flows and charges incurred for bad debt.  These issues may also materially affect our future access to our sources of liquidity, particularly our cash flows from operations, financial condition, capitalization, and capital investments.

The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the pandemic, a resurgence of the pandemic, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19, and public and private actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact. The COVID-19 pandemic has and will likely continue to result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we, or the third parties with whom we engage, operate. The long-term economic impact and near-term financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including but not limited to, possible impairment, restructuring, and other charges, as well as overall impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, or capital resources and investments, cannot be reliably quantified or estimated at this time due to the uncertainty of future developments.
