Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Business. Conn’s, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a holding company with no independent assets or operations other than its investments in its subsidiaries. References to “we,” “our,” “us,” “the Company,” “Conn’s” or “CONN” refer to Conn’s, Inc. and, as apparent from the context, its subsidiaries. Conn’s is a leading specialty retailer that offers a broad selection of quality, branded durable consumer goods and related services in addition to proprietary credit solutions for its core credit-constrained consumers. We operate an integrated and scalable business through our retail stores and website. Our complementary product offerings include furniture and mattresses, home appliances, consumer electronics and home office products from leading global brands across a wide range of price points. Our credit offering provides financing solutions to a large, under-served population of credit-constrained consumers who typically have limited credit alternatives. We operate two reportable segments: retail and credit. Our retail stores bear the “Conn’s HomePlus” name with all of our stores providing the same products and services to a common customer group. Our stores follow the same procedures and methods in managing their operations. Our retail business and credit business are operated independently from each other. The credit segment is dedicated to providing short- and medium-term financing to our retail customers. The retail segment is not involved in credit approval decisions or collection efforts. Our management evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the operating results of the retail and credit segments. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and prevailing industry practices. Fiscal Year. Our fiscal year ends on January 31. References to a fiscal year refer to the calendar year in which the fiscal year ends. Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Conn’s, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Variable Interest Entities. Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) are consolidated if the Company is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the VIE and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We securitize customer accounts receivables by transferring the receivables to various bankruptcy-remote VIEs. We retain the servicing of the securitized portfolio and have a variable interest in each corresponding VIE by holding the residual equity. We have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of each respective VIE because (i) our servicing responsibilities for the securitized portfolio give us the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the VIE and (ii) our variable interest in the VIE gives us the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive residual returns that potentially could be significant. As a result, we consolidate the respective VIEs within our consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 6, Debt and Financing Lease Obligations , and Note 13, Variable Interest Entities , for additional information. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make informed judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Changes in facts and circumstances or additional information may result in revised estimates, and actual results may differ, even significantly, from these estimates. Management evaluates its estimates and related assumptions regularly, including those related to the allowance for doubtful accounts and allowances for no-interest option credit programs, which are particularly sensitive given the size of our customer portfolio balance. Cash and Cash Equivalents. As of January 31, 2021 and 2020, cash and cash equivalents included cash, credit card deposits in transit, and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less. Credit card deposits in transit included in cash and cash equivalents were $7.9 million and $4.0 million as of January 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Restricted Cash. The restricted cash balance as of January 31, 2021 and 2020 includes $41.6 million and $59.7 million, respectively, of cash we collected as servicer on the securitized receivables that was subsequently remitted to the VIEs and $7.0 million and $13.9 million, respectively, of cash held by the VIEs as additional collateral for the asset-backed notes. Customer Accounts Receivable. Customer accounts receivable reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet includes total receivables managed, including both those transferred to the VIEs and those not transferred to the VIEs. Customer accounts receivable are recognized at the time the customer takes possession of the product. As discussed in more detail below, effective February 1, 2020 the Company adopted ASC 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . Under the newly adopted standard, expected lifetime losses on customer accounts receivable are recognized upon origination through an allowance for credit losses account that is deducted from the customer account receivable balance and presented net thereof. Customer accounts receivable include the net of unamortized deferred fees charged to customers and origination costs. Customer receivables are considered delinquent if a payment has not been received on the scheduled due date. Accounts that are delinquent more than 209 days as of the end of a month are charged-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts along with interest accrued subsequent to the last payment. In an effort to mitigate losses on our accounts receivable, we may make loan modifications to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. The loan modifications are intended to maximize net cash flow after expenses and avoid the need to exercise legal remedies available to us. We may extend or “re-age” a portion of our customer accounts, which involves modifying the payment terms to defer a portion of the cash payments due. Our re-aging of customer accounts does not change the interest rate or the total principal amount due from the customer and typically does not reduce the monthly contractual payments. To a much lesser extent, we may provide the customer the ability to refinance their account, which typically does not change the interest rate or the total principal amount due from the customer but does reduce the monthly contractual payments and extend the term. We consider accounts that have been re-aged in excess of three months or refinanced as Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDR” or “Restructured Accounts”). On March 27, 2020 the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law to address the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under the CARES Act, modifications deemed to be COVID-19 related are not considered a TDR if the loan was current (not more than 30 days past due as of March 31, 2020) and the deferral was executed between April 1, 2020 and the earlier of 60 days after the termination of the COVID-19 national emergency or December 31, 2020. In response to the CARES Act, the Company implemented short-term deferral programs for our customers. The carrying value of the customer receivables on accounts which were current prior to receiving a COVID-19 related deferment was $65.2 million as of January 31, 2021. Interest Income on Customer Accounts Receivable. Interest income, which includes interest income and amortization of deferred fees and origination costs, is recorded using the interest method and is reflected in finance charges and other revenues. Typically, interest income is recorded until the customer account is paid off or charged-off, and we provide an allowance for estimated uncollectible interest. We reserve for interest that is more than 60 days past due. Any contractual interest income received from customers in excess of the interest income calculated using the interest method is recorded as deferred revenue on our balance sheets. At January 31, 2021 and 2020, there were $8.9 million and $10.6 million, respectively, of deferred interest included in deferred revenues and other credits and other long-term liabilities. The deferred interest will ultimately be brought into income as the accounts pay off or charge-off. We offer a 12-month no-interest option program. If the customer is delinquent in making a scheduled monthly payment or does not repay the principal in full by the end of the no-interest option program period (grace periods are provided), the account does not qualify for the no-interest provision and none of the interest earned is waived. Interest income is recognized based on estimated accrued interest earned to date on all no-interest option finance programs with an offsetting reserve for those customers expected to satisfy the requirements of the program based on our historical experience. We recognize interest income on TDR accounts using the interest income method, which requires reporting interest income equal to the increase in the net carrying amount of the loan attributable to the passage of time. Cash proceeds and other adjustments are applied to the net carrying amount such that it equals the present value of expected future cash flows. We place accounts in non-accrual status when legally required. Payments received on non-accrual loans will be applied to principal and reduce the balance of the loan. At January 31, 2021 and 2020, the carrying value of customer accounts receivable in non-accrual status was $8.5 million and $12.5 million, respectively. At January 31, 2021 and 2020, the carrying value of customer accounts receivable that were past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $111.5 million and $132.7 million, respectively. At January 31, 2021 and January 31, 2020, the carrying value of customer accounts receivable in a bankruptcy status that were less than 60 days past due of $5.2 million and $12.1 million, respectively, were included within the customer receivables balance carried in non-accrual status. Inventories. Inventories consist of merchandise purchased for resale and service parts and are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The carrying value of the inventory is reduced to its net realizable value for any product lines with excess of carrying amount, typically weighted-average cost, over the amount we expect to realize from the ultimate sale or other disposition of the inventory, with a corresponding charge to cost of sales. The write-down of inventory to net realizable value is estimated based on assumptions regarding inventory aging and historical product sales. Vendor Allowances. We receive funds from vendors for price protection, product rebates (earned upon purchase or sale of product), marketing, and promotion programs, collectively referred to as vendor allowances, which are recorded on an accrual basis. We estimate the vendor allowances to accrue based on the progress of satisfying the terms of the programs based on actual and projected sales or purchase of qualifying products. If the programs are related to product purchases, the vendor allowances are recorded as a reduction of product cost in inventory still on hand with any remaining amounts recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold. During the years ended January 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, we recorded $122.7 million, $156.6 million and $143.3 million, respectively, as reductions in cost of goods sold from vendor allowances. Property and Equipment. Property and equipment, including any major additions and improvements to property and equipment, are recorded at cost. Normal repairs and maintenance that do not materially extend the life of property and equipment are expensed as incurred. Depreciation, which includes amortization of financed leases, is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or in the case of leasehold improvements, over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the remaining terms of the leases. Internal-Use Software Costs. Costs related to software developed or obtained for internal use and cloud-based computing arrangements are expensed as incurred until the application development stage has been reached. Once the application development stage has been reached, certain qualifying costs are capitalized until the software is ready for its intended use. Costs incurred during the post implementation stage are expensed as incurred. Once placed into service, capitalized costs are amortized over periods of up to 10 years. No software costs were written-off in the years ended January 31, 2021 and 2019. For the year ended January 31, 2020, we incurred a $1.2 million loss on impairments of software costs for a loan management system that was abandoned during fiscal year 2020. See Note 4, Charges and Credits, for further details regarding fiscal year 2020 write-offs. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment, primarily at the asset group level. The asset group is defined as stores and cross-docks within a distribution center’s service area. We monitor asset group performance in order to assess if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The most likely condition that would necessitate an assessment would be an adverse change in historical and estimated future results of an asset group's performance. For property and equipment held and used, we recognize an impairment loss if the carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measure the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and estimated fair value. During the year ended January 31, 2020, we recognized $3.2 million in impairments from the exiting of certain leases. See Note 4, Charges and Credits, for details. For the years ended January 31, 2021 and 2019 there were no impairments. Leases. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. If the estimate of our incremental borrowing rate was changed, our operating lease assets and liabilities could differ materially. We record lease incentives as a reduction to the operating lease right-of-use assets upon commencement of the lease and amortize the balance on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have made a policy election for all classifications of leases to combine lease and non-lease components and to account for them as a single lease component. Debt Issuance Costs. Costs that are direct and incremental to debt issuance are deferred and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected life of the debt. All other costs related to debt issuance are expensed as incurred. We present debt issuance costs associated with long-term debt as a reduction of the carrying amount of the debt. Unamortized costs related to the Revolving Credit Facility, as defined in Note 6, Debt and Financing Lease Obligations , are included in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet and were $3.5 million and $3.5 million as of January 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Revenue Recognition. The Company accounts for revenue under ASC 606 and has the following material revenue streams: the sale of products (e.g. appliances, electronics) including delivery; the sale of third party warranty and insurance programs, including retrospective income; service income; interest income generated from the financing of point of sale transactions; and volume rebate incentives received from a third party financier. Sale of Products Including Delivery: The Company has a single performance obligation associated with these contracts: the delivery of the product to the customer, at which point control transfers. Revenue for the sale of products is recognized at the time of delivery, net of any adjustments for sales incentives such as discounts, coupons, rebates or other free products or services. Sales financed through third-party no-interest option programs typically require us to pay a fee to the third party on each completed sale, which is recorded as a reduction of net sales in the retail segment. Sale of Third Party Warranty and Insurance Programs, Including Retrospective Income: We sell repair service agreements (“RSA”) and credit insurance contracts on behalf of unrelated third-parties. The Company has a single performance obligation associated with these contracts: the delivery of the product to the customer, at which point control transfers. Commissions related to these contracts are recognized in revenue upon delivery of the product. We also may serve as the administrator of the RSAs sold and defer 5% of the revenue received from the sale of RSAs as compensation for this performance obligation as 5% represents the estimated stand-alone sales price to serve as the administrator. The deferred RSA administration fee is recorded in income ratably over the life of the RSA contract sold. Retrospective income on RSA contracts is recognized upon delivery of the product based on an estimate of claims and is adjusted throughout the life of the contracts as actual claims materialize. Retrospective income on insurance contracts is recognized when earned as that is the point at which we no longer believe a significant reversal of income is probable as the consideration is highly susceptible to factors outside of our influence. Service Income: The Company has a single performance obligation associated with these contracts: the servicing of the RSA claims. Service revenues are recognized at the time service is provided to the customer. Volume Rebate Incentive: As part of our agreement with our third-party provider of no-interest option programs, we may receive a volume rebate incentive based on the total dollar value of sales made under our third-party provider. The Company has a single performance obligation associated with this contract: the delivery of the product to the customer, at which point control transfers. Revenue for the volume rebate incentive is recognized upon delivery of the product to the customer based on the projected total annual dollar value of sales to be made under our third-party provider. Deferred Revenue. Deferred revenue related to contracts with customers consists of deferred customer deposits and deferred RSA administration fees. During the twelve months ended January 31, 2021, we recognized $1.2 million of revenue for customer deposits deferred as of the beginning of the period compared to $1.0 million recognized during the twelve months ended January 31, 2020. During the twelve months ended January 31, 2021, we recognized $4.0 million of revenue for RSA administrative fees deferred as of the beginning of the period compared to $5.1 million recognized during the twelve months ended January 31, 2020. Expense Classifications. We record as cost of goods sold, the direct cost of products and parts sold and related costs for delivery, transportation and handling, inbound freight, receiving, inspection, and other costs associated with the operations of our distribution system, including occupancy related to our warehousing operations. The costs associated with our merchandising, advertising, sales commissions, and all store occupancy costs, are included in selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”). Advertising Costs. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019, advertising expense was $72.5 million, $84.8 million and $80.5 million, respectively. Stock-based Compensation. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded for share-based compensation awards, net of actual forfeitures, over the requisite service period using the straight-line method. For equity-classified share-based compensation awards, expense is recognized based on the grant-date fair value. For stock option grants, we use the Black-Scholes model to determine fair value. For grants of restricted stock units, the fair value of the grant is the market value of our stock at the date of issuance. For grants of performance-based restricted stock units, the fair value of the grant is the market value of our stock at the date of issuance adjusted for any market conditions. Self-insurance. We are self-insured for certain losses relating to group health, workers’ compensation, automobile, general and product liability claims. We have stop-loss coverage to limit the exposure arising from these claims. Self-insurance losses for claims filed and claims incurred, but not reported, are accrued based upon our estimates of the net aggregate liability for claims incurred using development factors based on historical experience. Income Taxes. We are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state jurisdictions. We follow the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between GAAP and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, as measured using the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period in which the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become realizable. To the extent penalties and interest are incurred, we record these charges as a component of our provision for income taxes. We review and update our tax positions as necessary to add any new uncertain tax positions taken, or to remove previously identified uncertain positions that have been adequately resolved. Additionally, uncertain positions may be remeasured as warranted by changes in facts or law. Accounting for uncertain tax positions requires estimating the amount, timing and likelihood of ultimate settlement. Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effects of any stock options, restricted stock unit awards (“RSUs”) and performance stock awards (“PSUs”), which are calculated using the treasury-stock method. The following table sets forth the shares outstanding for the earnings per share calculations: Year Ended January 31, 2021 2020 2019 Weighted-average common shares outstanding - Basic 29,060,512 30,275,662 31,668,370 Dilutive effect of stock options, RSUs and PSUs — 539,113 706,005 Weighted-average common shares outstanding - Diluted 29,060,512 30,814,775 32,374,375 For the years ended January 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the weighted-average number of stock options, RSUs, and PSUs not included in the calculation due to their anti-dilutive effect, was 1,097,996, 898,449 and 578,951, respectively. Contingencies. An estimated loss from a contingency is recorded if it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies are not recorded until realization is assured beyond a reasonable doubt. Legal costs related to loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are categorized using defined hierarchical levels related to subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair value measurements as follows: • Level 1 – Inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (for example, quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or market-corroborated inputs). • Level 3 – Inputs that are not observable from objective sources such as our internally developed assumptions used in pricing an asset or liability (for example, an estimate of future cash flows used in our internally developed present value of future cash flows model that underlies the fair-value measurement). In determining fair value, we use observable market data when available, or models that incorporate observable market data. When we are required to measure fair value and there is not a market-observable price for the asset or liability or for a similar asset or liability, we use the cost or income approach depending on the quality of information available to support management’s assumptions. The cost approach is based on management’s best estimate of the current asset replacement cost. The income approach is based on management’s best assumptions regarding expectations of future net cash flows and discounts the expected cash flows using a commensurate risk-adjusted discount rate. Such evaluations involve significant judgment, and the results are based on expected future events or conditions such as sales prices, economic and regulatory climates, and other factors, most of which are often outside of management’s control. However, we believe assumptions used reflect a market participant’s view of long-term prices, costs, and other factors and are consistent with assumptions used in our business plans and investment decisions. In arriving at fair-value estimates, we use relevant observable inputs available for the valuation technique employed. If a fair-value measurement reflects inputs at multiple levels within the hierarchy, the fair-value measurement is characterized based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair-value measurement. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of customer accounts receivable, determined using a Level 3 discounted cash flow analysis, approximates their carrying value, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The fair value of our Revolving Credit Facility approximates carrying value based on the current borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements. At January 31, 2021, the fair value of the Senior Notes outstanding approximates their carrying value and was determined using Level 1 inputs. At January 31, 2021, the fair value of the asset-backed notes was $416.3 million, compared to the carrying value of $414.0 million, which was determined using Level 2 inputs based on inactive trading activity. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology. Under the new guidance entities must reserve an allowance for expected credit losses over the life of the loan. The measurement of expected credit losses is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the customer account receivable’s amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected. Customer receivables are charged off against the allowance when management deems an account to be uncollectible. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses . ASU 2019-04 requires that the current estimate of recoveries are included in the allowance for credit losses. Effective February 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2019-04 using the modified retrospective approach. The Company has reviewed its entire portfolio of assets recognized on the balance sheet as of January 31, 2020 and identified Customer Accounts Receivables as the materially impacted asset in-scope of ASC 326. The risk of credit losses from the remaining portfolio of assets was concluded to be immaterial. Upon adoption of ASC 326 the Company recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $76.5 million as of February 1, 2020. Results for reporting periods prior to February 1, 2020 are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting policies under previously applicable GAAP. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis where similar risk characteristics exist. Upon adoption of ASC 326, the Company elected to maintain the pools of customer accounts receivable that were previously accounted for under ASC 310 (Non-TDR Non-Re-aged, Non-TDR Re-aged, and TDR). These pools are further segmented based on shared risk attributes, which include the borrower’s FICO score, product class, length of customer relationship and delinquency status. The allowance for credit losses is determined for each pool and added to the pool’s carrying amount to establish a new amortized cost basis. Changes to the allowance for credit losses after adoption are recorded through provision expense. We have elected to use a risk-based, pool-level segmentation framework to calculate the expected loss rate. This framework is based on our historical gross charge-off history. In addition to adjusted historical gross charge-off rates, estimates of post-charge-off recoveries, including cash payments from customers, sales tax recoveries from taxing jurisdictions, and payments received under credit insurance and repair service agreement (“RSA”) policies are also considered. We also consider forward-looking economic forecasts based on a statistical analysis of economic factors (specifically, forecast of unemployment rates over the reasonable and supportable forecasting period). To the extent that situations and trends arise which are not captured in our model, management will layer on additional qualitative adjustments. The Company uses a 24-month reasonable and supportable forecast period for the Customer Accounts Receivable portfolio. We estimate losses beyond the 24-month forecast period based on historic loss rates experienced over the life of our historic loan portfolio by loan pool type. We revisit our measurement methodology and assumption annually, or more frequently if circumstances warrant. The cumulative effect of the changes made to the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as a result of the adoption of ASC 326 were as follows: Impact of Adoption of ASC 326 (in thousands) Balance at January 31, 2020 Adjustments due to ASC 326 Balance at February 1, 2020 Assets Customer accounts receivable $ 673,742 $ (49,700) $ 624,042 Long-term portion of customer accounts receivable 663,761 (48,962) 614,799 Deferred Income Taxes 18,599 22,173 40,772 Stockholders’ Equity R

Net of the allowance for uncollectible interest, interest receivable outstanding as of January 31, 2021 and 2020 was $9.7 million and $20.0 million, respectively. (2) Our current methodology to estimate expected credit losses utilized macroeconomic forecasts as of January 31, 2021, which incorporated the continued estimated impact of the global COVID-19 outbreak on the U.S. economy. Our forecast utilized economic projections from a major rating service reflecting an increase in unemployment. The allowance for credit losses as of January 31, 2020 is based on an incurred loss model, which reserves for incurred losses in the portfolio as of January 31, 2020. (3) As of January 31, 2021 and 2020, the carrying value of customer accounts receivable past due one day or greater was $340.8 million and $527.0 million, respectively. These amounts include the 60+ days past due balances shown above. (4) The re-aged carrying value as of January 31, 2021 and 2020 includes $88.0 million and $131.4 million, respectively, in carrying value that are both 60+ days past due and re-aged. (5) The restructured carrying value as of January 31, 2021 and 2020 includes $57.1 million and $64.8 million, respectively, in carrying value that are both 60+ days past due and restructured. The allowance for credit losses included in the current and long-term portion of customer accounts receivable, net as shown in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet were as follows: (in thousands) January 31, 2021 Customer accounts receivable - current $ 643,903 Allowance for credit losses for customer accounts receivable - current (165,169) Customer accounts receivable, net of allowances 478,734 Customer accounts receivable - non current 563,617 Allowance for credit losses for customer accounts receivable - non current (132,868) Long-term portion of customer accounts receivable, net of allowances 430,749 Total customer accounts receivable, net $ 909,483 The following presents the activity in our allowance for credit losses and uncollectible interest for customer accounts receivable: January 31, 2021 (in thousands) Customer Accounts Receivable Restructured Accounts Total Allowance at beginning of period $ 145,680 $ 88,124 $ 233,804 Impact of adoption ASC 326 95,136 3,526 98,662 Provision (1) 185,210 80,276 265,486 Principal charge-offs (2)(5) (178,777) (81,142) (259,919) Interest charge-offs (50,060) (22,721) (72,781) Recoveries (3) 22,550 10,235 32,785 Allowance at end of period $ 219,739 $ 78,298 $ 298,037 Average total customer portfolio balance $ 1,184,174 $ 211,254 $ 1,395,428 January 31, 2020 (in thousands) Customer Accounts Receivable Restructured Accounts Total Allowance at beginning of period $ 147,123 $ 67,756 $ 214,879 Provision (4) 177,250 91,356 268,606 Principal charge-offs (2) (158,773) (63,074) (221,847) Interest charge-offs (37,850) (15,037) (52,887) Recoveries (2) 17,930 7,123 25,053 Allowance at end of period $ 145,680 $ 88,124 $ 233,804 Average total customer portfolio balance $ 1,367,260 $ 200,618 $ 1,567,878 January 31, 2019 (in thousands) Customer Accounts Receivable Restructured Accounts Total Allowance at beginning of period $ 148,856 $ 54,716 $ 203,572 Provision (4) 174,552 74,514 249,066 Principal charge-offs (2) (157,789) (55,024) (212,813) Interest charge-offs (32,432) (11,310) (43,742) Recoveries (2) 13,936 4,860 18,796 Allowance at end of period $ 147,123 $ 67,756 $ 214,879 Average total customer portfolio balance $ 1,355,011 $ 171,717 $ 1,526,728 (1) Includes provision for uncollectible interest, which is included in finance charges and other revenues, and changes in expected future recoveries. (2) Charge-offs include the principal amount of losses (excluding accrued and unpaid interest). Recoveries include the principal amount collected during the period for previously charged-off balances. Net charge-offs are calculated as the net of principal charge-offs and recoveries. (3) Recoveries include the principal amount collected during the period for previously charged-off balances. (4) Includes provision for uncollectible interest, which is included in finance charges and other revenues. (5) The increase in bad debt charge-offs, net of recoveries, was primarily due to an increase in new customer mix and the impact of difficulties in collection efforts related to the implementation of our new loan management system during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020. We manage our Customer Accounts Receivable portfolio using delinquency as a key credit quality indicator. The following table presents the delinquency distribution of the carrying value of customer accounts receivable by calendar year of origination as of January 31, 2021: (dollars in thousands) Delinquency Bucket 2021 2020 2019 2018 Prior Total % of Total Current $53,855 $458,502 $249,148 $75,599 $8,146 $845,250 71.2% 1-30 — 60,308 61,061 25,190 4,964 151,523 12.8% 31-60 — 14,216 17,613 8,302 2,369 42,500 3.6% 61-90 — 10,601 13,753 6,589 2,009 32,952 2.8% 91+ — 28,041 52,722 24,962 8,143 113,868 9.6% Total $53,855 $571,668 $394,297 $140,642 $25,631 $1,186,093 100.0%

On July 1, 2014, we issued $250.0 million of unsecured Senior Notes due July 2022 bearing interest at 7.25%, (the “Senior Notes”) pursuant to an indenture dated July 1, 2014 (as amended, the “Indenture”), among Conn’s, Inc., its subsidiary guarantors (the “Guarantors”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The effective interest rate of the Senior Notes after giving effect to the discount and issuance costs is 7.8%. The Indenture restricts the Company’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to: (i) incur indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends or make other distributions in respect of, or repurchase or redeem, our capital stock (“restricted payments”); (iii) prepay, redeem or repurchase debt that is junior in right of payment to the notes; (iv) make loans and certain investments; (v) sell assets; (vi) incur liens; (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (viii) consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. During any time when the Senior Notes are rated investment grade by either of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and no default (as defined in the Indenture) has occurred and is continuing, many of such covenants will be suspended and we will cease to be subject to such covenants during such period. As of January 31, 2021, $188.6 million was free from the restricted payments covenant contained in the Indenture. Events of default under the Indenture include customary events, such as a cross-acceleration provision in the event that we fail to make payment of other indebtedness prior to the expiration of any applicable grace period or upon acceleration of indebtedness prior to its stated maturity date in an amount exceeding $25.0 million, as well as in the event a judgment is entered against us in excess of $25.0 million that is not discharged, bonded or insured. On December 28, 2020, the Company retired $85.8 million aggregate principal amount of its Senior Notes in connection with a tender offer. Asset-backed Notes. From time to time, we securitize customer accounts receivables by transferring the receivables to various bankruptcy-remote VIEs. In turn, the VIEs issue asset-backed notes secured by the transferred customer accounts receivables and restricted cash held by the VIEs. Under the terms of the securitization transactions, all cash collections and other cash proceeds of the customer receivables go first to the servicer and the holders of issued notes, and then to us as the holder of non-issued notes, if any, and residual equity. We retain the servicing of the securitized portfolios and receive a monthly fee of 4.75% (annualized) based on the outstanding balance of the securitized receivables. In addition, we, rather than the VIEs, retain all credit insurance income together with certain recoveries related to credit insurance and repair service agreements on charge-offs of the securitized receivables, which are reflected as a reduction to net charge-offs on a consolidated basis. The asset-backed notes were offered and sold to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the exemptions from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act. If an event of default were to occur under the indenture that governs the respective asset-backed notes, the payment of the outstanding amounts may be accelerated, in which event the cash proceeds of the receivables that otherwise might be released to the residual equity holder would instead be directed entirely toward repayment of the asset-backed notes, or if the receivables are liquidated, all liquidation proceeds could be directed solely to repayment of the asset-backed notes as governed by the respective terms of the asset-backed notes. The holders of the asset-backed notes have no recourse to assets outside of the VIEs. Events of default include, but are not limited to, failure to make required payments on the asset-backed notes or specified bankruptcy-related events. The asset-backed notes outstanding as of January 31, 2021 consisted of the following: (dollars in thousands) Asset-Backed Notes Original Principal Amount Original Net Proceeds (1) Current Principal Amount Issuance Date Maturity Date Contractual Interest Rate Effective Interest Rate (2) 2019-A Class A Notes $ 254,530 $ 253,026 $ 19,521 4/24/2019 10/16/2023 3.40% 4.43% 2019-A Class B Notes 64,750 64,276 25,069 4/24/2019 10/16/2023 4.36% 4.84% 2019-A Class C Notes 62,510 61,898 24,202 4/24/2019 10/16/2023 5.29% 5.74% 2019-B Class A Notes 317,150 315,417 17,860 11/26/2019 6/17/2024 2.66% 4.32% 2019-B Class B Notes 85,540 84,916 85,540 11/26/2019 6/17/2024 3.62% 4.16% 2019-B Class C Notes 83,270 82,456 83,270 11/26/2019 6/17/2024 4.60% 4.96% 2020-A Class A Notes 174,900 173,716 93,326 10/16/2020 6/16/2025 1.71% 4.08% 2020-A Class B Notes 65,200 64,754 65,200 10/16/2020 6/16/2025 4.27% 5.12% Total $ 1,107,850 $ 1,100,459 $ 413,988 (1) After giving effect to debt issuance costs. (2) For the year ended January 31, 2021, and inclusive of the impact of changes in timing of actual and expected cash flows. On October 16, 2020, the Company completed the issuance and sale of $240.1 million aggregate principal amount of asset-backed notes secured by the transferred customer accounts receivables and restricted cash held by a consolidated VIE, which resulted in net proceeds to us of $238.5 million, net of debt issuance costs. Net proceeds from the offering were used to repay indebtedness under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility, as defined below, and for other general corporate purposes. The asset-backed notes mature on June 16, 2025 and consist of $174.9 million of 1.71% Asset Backed Fixed Rate Notes, Class A, Series 2020-A and $65.2 million of 4.27% Asset Backed Fixed Rate Notes, Class B, Series 2020-A. Additionally, the Company issued $62.9 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.10% Asset Backed Fixed Rate Notes, Class C, Series 2020-A which mature on June 16, 2025. The interest rate on the Class C, Series 2020-A Notes was reduced to 4.20% in connection with a sale of such notes on February 24, 2021. See Note 17. Subsequent Events , for details. Revolving Credit Facility. On May 23, 2018, Conn’s, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”) entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”), dated as of October 30, 2015, with certain lenders, which provides for a $650.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility (as amended, the “Revolving Credit Facility”) under which credit availability is subject to a borrowing base and a maturity date of May 23, 2022. The Revolving Credit Facility provides funding based on a borrowing base calculation that includes customer accounts receivable and inventory, and provides for a $40.0 million sub-facility for letters of credit to support obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business. The obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by substantially all assets of the Company, excluding the assets of the VIEs. As of January 31, 2021, we had immediately available borrowing capacity of $336.0 million under our Revolving Credit Facility, net of standby letters of credit issued of $22.5 million. We also had $239.5 million that may become available under our Revolving Credit Facility if we grow the balance of eligible customer receivables and total eligible inventory balances. On June 5, 2020 we entered into the Third Amendment to our Revolving Credit Facility (the “Third Amendment”). Under the Third Amendment, loans under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 3.00% to 3.75% per annum (depending on a pricing grid determined by our total leverage ratio) or the alternate base rate plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.75% per annum (depending on a pricing grid determined by our total leverage ratio). The alternate base rate is a rate per annum equal to the greatest of the prime rate, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, or LIBOR for a 30-day interest period plus 1.0%. We also pay an unused fee on the portion of the commitments that is available for future borrowings or letters of credit at a rate ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum, depending on the average outstanding balance and letters of credit of the Revolving Credit Facility in the immediately preceding quarter. The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings outstanding and including unused line fees under the Revolving Credit Facility was 5.9% for the year ended January 31, 2021. The Revolving Credit Facility places restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens on assets, make distributions on equity interests, dispose of assets, make loans, pay other indebtedness, engage in mergers, and other matters. The Revolving Credit Facility restricts our ability to make dividends and distributions unless no event of default exists and a liquidity test is satisfied. Subsidiaries of the Company may pay dividends and make distributions to the Company and other obligors under the Revolving Credit Facility without restriction. As of January 31, 2021, we were restricted from making distributions, including repayments of the Senior Notes or other distributions, in excess of $240.1 million as a result of the Revolving Credit Facility distribution restrictions. The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary default provisions, which, if triggered, could result in acceleration of all amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. Debt Covenants. We were in compliance with our debt covenants at January 31, 2021. A summary of the significant financial covenants that govern our Revolving Credit Facility compared to our actual compliance status at January 31, 2021 is presented below: Actual Required Interest Coverage Ratio for the quarter must equal or exceed minimum 5.05:1.00 1.00:1.00 Interest Coverage Ratio for the trailing two quarters must equal or exceed minimum 4.53:1.00 1.50:1.00 Leverage Ratio must not exceed maximum 1.61:1.00 4.50:1.00 ABS Excluded Leverage Ratio must not exceed maximum 0.95:1.00 2.50:1.00 Capital Expenditures, net, must not exceed maximum $34.7 million $100.0 million

Our state net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire starting with fiscal year 2030. Realization of our deferred tax asset ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income, which may include future taxable income and tax planning strategies. Based on the weight of available evidence at January 31, 2021, we believe that it is more likely than not that we will generate sufficient taxable income to utilize our entire deferred tax asset prior to its expiration.

Leases

Leases [Abstract]
Leases of Lessee Disclosure	Leases We lease most of our current store locations and certain of our facilities and operating equipment under operating leases. The fixed, non-cancelable terms of our real estate leases are generally five years to fifteen years and generally include renewal options that allow us to extend the term beyond the initial non-cancelable term. However, prior to the expiration of the existing contract, the Company will typically renegotiate any lease contracts as opposed to continuing in the current lease under the renewal terms. As such, the lease renewal options are not recognized as part of the right-of-use assets and liabilities. Most of the real estate leases require payment of real estate taxes, insurance and certain common area maintenance costs in addition to future minimum lease payments. Equipment leases generally provide for initial lease terms of three years to five years and provide for a purchase right at the end of the lease term at the then fair market value of the equipment. Certain operating leases contain tenant allowance provisions, which obligate the landlord to remit cash to us as an incentive to enter into the lease agreement. We record the full amount to be remitted by the landlord as a reduction to the operating lease right-of-use assets upon commencement of the lease and amortize the balance on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. Supplemental lease information is summarized below: January 31, (in thousands) Balance sheet classification 2021 2020 Assets Operating lease assets Operating lease right-of-use assets $ 265,798 $ 242,457 Finance lease assets Property and equipment, net 5,813 5,028 Total leased assets $ 271,611 $ 247,485 Liabilities Operating (1) Operating lease liability - current $ 53,958 $ 47,118 Finance Current maturities of debt and finance lease obligations 934 605 Operating Operating lease liability - non current 354,598 329,081 Finance Long-term debt and finance lease obligations 5,138 4,604 Total lease liabilities $ 414,628 $ 381,408 (1) Represents the gross operating lease liability before tenant improvement allowances.

Operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU Assets”) and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Operating lease ROU Assets are regularly reviewed for impairment under the long-lived assets impairment guidance in ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment - Overall . No impairment was recognized for the year ended January 31, 2021. For the year ended January 31, 2020, we recognized $1.9 million of impairments of ROU Assets on the consolidated statement of operations from the exiting of certain leases upon relocation of three of our distribution centers into one facility.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation On May 28, 2020, our stockholders approved the Conn’s, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2020 Plan”). Upon the effectiveness of the 2020 Plan, no further awards were, or may in the future, be granted under any of our prior plans, which include the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2016 Plan”), 2011 Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan (“2011 Director Plan”) and the 2003 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (“2003 Director Plan”). The 2020 plan provides for the issuance of 1,800,000 shares of Company common stock plus such number of shares as were, and may become, available under our prior plans. As such, shares subject to an award under the 2020 Plan, the 2016 Plan, the 2011 Plan, the 2011 Director Plan, the 2003 Director Plan or our Amended and Restated 2003 Incentive Stock Option Plan (“2003 Plan”) that lapse, expire, are forfeited or terminated, or are settled in cash will again become available for future grant under the 2020 Plan. During fiscal year 2021, a total of 937,514 shares were transferred to the 2020 Plan from the prior plans: 746,299 shares from the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan, 2,224 shares from the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan, and 48,991 shares from the 2011 Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan, 140,000 shares from the 2003 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan. Our 2020 Plan is an equity-based compensation plan that allows for the grant of a variety of awards, including stock options, restricted stock awards, RSUs, PSUs, stock appreciation rights and performance and cash awards. Awards are generally granted once per year, with the amount and type of awards determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Committee”). Stock options, RSUs and PSUs are subject to early termination provisions but generally vest over a period of three years or four years from the date of grant. Stock options under the various plans are issued with exercise prices equal to the market value on the date of the grant and, typically, expire ten years after the date of grant. In the event of a change in control of the Company, as defined in the 2020 Plan, the Board of Directors of the Company (“Board of Directors”) may cause some or all outstanding awards to fully or partially vest, either upon the change in control or upon a subsequent termination of employment or service, and may provide that any applicable performance criteria be deemed satisfied at the target or any other level. The Board of Directors may also cause outstanding awards to terminate in exchange for a cash or stock payment or to be substituted or assumed by the surviving corporation. As of January 31, 2021, shares authorized for future issuance were: 2,632,127 under the 2020 Plan. Stock-Based Compensation Expense. Total stock-based compensation expense, recognized primarily in SG&A, from stock-based compensation consisted of the following: Year Ended January 31, (in thousands) 2021 2020 2019 Stock options $ 3,908 $ 3,978 $ 3,414 RSUs and PSUs 5,058 8,316 8,540 Employee stock purchase plan 364 256 263 Accelerated RSU expense charged to severance 1,255 — — $ 10,585 $ 12,550 $ 12,217 During the years ended January 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, we recognized tax benefits related to stock-based compensation of $2.3 million, $1.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively. As of January 31, 2021, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to all unvested stock-based compensation awards was $7.9 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years. The total fair value of RSUs, PSUs and stock options vested during fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $5.1 million, $8.4 million and $12.6 million, respectively, based on the market price at the vesting date. Stock Options. No stock options were awarded during fiscal year 2021 and 2020. During fiscal year 2019, 620,166 stock options were awarded with an exercise price of $32.35 per share. The stock options awarded vest in equal installments three years and four years from the date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant. The fair values of the stock options at grant date ranged from $20.00 to $21.67 per share. The fair values of the stock option awards were determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average assumptions for the option awards granted in fiscal year 2019 included expected volatility of 68%, an expected term of six years to seven years and risk-free interest rate of 2.69%. No dividend yield was included in the weighted-average assumptions for the options awards granted in fiscal year 2019. The following table summarizes the activity for outstanding stock options: Shares Weighted- Weighted- Outstanding, January 31, 2020 744,191 $ 29.73 Granted — $ — Exercised — $ — Forfeited and expired (24,025) $ 6.81 Outstanding, January 31, 2021 720,166 $ 30.49 7.0 Vested and expected to vest, January 31, 2021 720,166 $ 30.49 7.0 Exercisable, January 31, 2021 100,000 $ 18.98 5.9 No stock options were exercised during the year ended January 31, 2021. During the years ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, the total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding, vested and expected to vest and exercisable at January 31, 2021 was approximately $0.1 million. The total fair value of common stock options vested during fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $0.3 million, $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, based on the market price at the vesting date. Restricted Stock Units. The restricted stock program consists of a combination of PSUs and RSUs. As of January 31, 2021 there are two PSU awards outstanding. Under the first award, the number of PSUs issued is dependent upon a measurement of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) target for the period identified in the grant, which is two fiscal years. In the event EBITDA exceeds the respective predefined target, shares for up to a maximum of 150% of the target award may be awarded. In the event the EBITDA falls below the respective predefined target, a reduced number of shares may be awarded. If the EBITDA falls below the respective threshold performance level, no shares will be awarded. Under the second PSU award the number of PSUs issued is dependent upon attainment of an annualized Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) target for the period identified in the award, which is three fiscal years. In the event TSR exceeds the respective defined target, shares for up to a maximum of 150% of the target award will be awarded. In the event TSR falls below the respective predefined target, a reduced number of shares will be awarded. If TSR falls below the respective threshold level, no shares will be awarded. PSUs vest on predetermined schedules, which occurs over three years. RSUs vest on a straight-line basis over their term, which is generally three years to five years. The following table summarizes the activity for RSUs and PSUs: Time-Based RSUs Performance-Based RSUs Number of Units Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Number of Units Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Total Number of Units Balance, January 31, 2020 588,823 $ 19.92 493,894 $ 12.47 1,082,717 Granted 625,808 $ 9.17 270,828 $ 8.36 896,636 Vested and converted to common stock (336,304) $ 15.93 (356,844) $ 11.67 (693,148) Forfeited (128,433) $ 15.32 (138,298) $ 12.08 (266,731) Balance, January 31, 2021 749,894 $ 13.53 269,580 $ 9.61 1,019,474 The total fair value of restricted and performance shares vested during fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $4.8 million, $8.1 million, and $12.1 million, respectively, based on the market price at the vesting date. The total fair value of restricted and performance shares granted during fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $8.0 million, $2.9 million and $7.6 million, respectively.

Contingencies	Contingencies Securities Litigation. On April 2, 2018, MicroCapital Fund, LP, MicroCapital Fund, Ltd., and MicroCapital LLC (collectively, “MicroCapital”) filed a lawsuit against us and certain of our former executive officers in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Cause No. 4:18-CV-01020 (the “MicroCapital Action”). The plaintiffs in this action allege that the defendants made false and misleading statements or failed to disclose material facts about our credit and underwriting practices, accounting and internal controls. Plaintiffs allege violations of sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, Texas and Connecticut common law fraud, and Texas common law negligent misrepresentation against all defendants; as well as violations of section 20A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and Connecticut common law negligent misrepresentation against certain defendants arising from plaintiffs’ purchase of Conn’s, Inc. securities between April 3, 2013 and February 20, 2014. The complaint does not specify the amount of damages sought. The Court previously stayed the MicroCapital Action pending resolution of other outstanding litigation (In re Conn’s Inc. Sec. Litig., Cause No. 14-CV-00548 (S.D. Tex.) (the “Consolidated Securities Action”)), which was settled in October 2018. After that settlement, the stay was lifted, and the defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiff’s complaint in the MicroCapital Action on November 6, 2018. On July 26, 2019, the magistrate judge issued a report recommending that defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint be granted in part and denied in part. On September 25, 2019, the district court adopted the magistrate judge’s report, which permitted MicroCapital to file an amended complaint, which MicroCapital filed on October 30, 2019. Defendants filed their answer to the amended complaint on November 27, 2019. We intend to vigorously defend our interests in the MicroCapital Action. It is not possible at this time to predict the timing or outcome of this litigation, and we cannot reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of possible loss from these claims. Derivative Litigation. On December 1, 2014, an alleged shareholder, purportedly on behalf of the Company, filed a derivative shareholder lawsuit against us and certain of our current and former directors and former executive officers captioned as Robert Hack, derivatively on behalf of Conn’s, Inc., v. Theodore M. Wright (former executive officer and former director), Bob L. Martin, Jon E.M. Jacoby (former director), Kelly M. Malson, Douglas H. Martin, David Schofman, Scott L. Thompson (former director), Brian Taylor (former executive officer) and Michael J. Poppe (former executive officer) and Conn’s, Inc., Case No. 4:14-cv-03442 (S.D. Tex.) (the “Original Derivative Action”). The complaint asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, gross mismanagement, and insider trading based on substantially similar factual allegations as those asserted in the Consolidated Securities Action. The plaintiff seeks unspecified damages against these persons and does not request any damages from Conn’s. Setting forth substantially similar claims against the same defendants, on February 25, 2015, an additional federal derivative action, captioned 95250 Canada LTEE, derivatively on Behalf of Conn’s, Inc. v. Wright et al., Cause No. 4:15-cv-00521 (S.D. Tex.), which was consolidated with the Original Derivative Action. The Court previously approved a stipulation among the parties to stay the Original Derivative Action pending resolution of the Consolidated Securities Action. The stay was lifted on November 1, 2018, and the defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiff’s complaint. Briefing on the motion to dismiss was completed December 3, 2018. On May 29, 2019, the magistrate judge issued a report, recommending that defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint be granted, but recommended that the plaintiff be permitted to replead his claims. The district court adopted the recommendation on July 5, 2019. On July 19, 2019, plaintiff filed an amended complaint. On November 1, 2019, the magistrate judge heard argument on the motion to dismiss and postponed certain deadlines. Adopting the report and recommendation issued by the magistrate judge on July 22, 2020, the district court entered an order on September 25, 2020 denying defendant’s motion on the breach of fiduciary duty claims and granting defendants’ motion on the insider trading claims. The district court also allowed plaintiff leave to amend to add 95250 Canada LTEE, which had been omitted from the amended complaint, as a party to the case. Plaintiffs filed a corrected amended complaint on October 21, 2020 in accordance with the district court’s order. Another derivative action was filed on January 27, 2015, captioned as Richard A. Dohn v. Wright, et al., Cause No. 2015-04405, in the 281st Judicial District Court, Harris County, Texas. This action makes substantially similar allegations to the Original Derivative Action against the same defendants. This case is stayed until at least July 15, 2021. Prior to filing a lawsuit, an alleged shareholder, Robert J. Casey II (“Casey”), submitted a demand under Delaware law, which our Board of Directors refused. On May 19, 2016, Casey, purportedly on behalf of the Company, filed a lawsuit against us and certain of our current and former directors and former executive officers in the 55th Judicial District Court, Harris County, Texas, captioned as Casey, derivatively on behalf of Conn’s, Inc., v. Theodore M. Wright (former executive officer and former director), Michael J. Poppe (former executive officer), Brian Taylor (former executive officer), Bob L. Martin, Jon E.M. Jacoby (former director), Kelly M. Malson (former director), Douglas H. Martin, David Schofman, Scott L. Thompson (former director) and William E. Saunders Jr., and Conn’s, Inc., Cause No. 2016-33135. The complaint asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment based on substantially similar factual allegations as those asserted in the Original Derivative Action. The complaint does not specify the amount of damages sought. This case is abated until at least July 31, 2021. Other than Casey, none of the plaintiffs in the other derivative actions made a demand on our Board of Directors prior to filing their respective lawsuits. The defendants in the derivative actions intend to vigorously defend against these claims. It is not possible at this time to predict the timing or outcome of any of this litigation, and we cannot reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of possible loss from these claims. We are involved in other routine litigation and claims, incidental to our business from time to time which, individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on us. As required, we accrue estimates of the probable costs for the resolution of these matters. These estimates have been developed in consultation with counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. However, the results of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, and changes in facts and circumstances could impact our estimate of reserves for litigation. The Company believes that any probable and reasonably estimable loss associated with the foregoing has been adequately reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Variable Interest Entities	Variable Interest Entities From time to time, we securitize customer accounts receivables by transferring the receivables to various bankruptcy-remote VIEs. Under the terms of the respective securitization transactions, all cash collections and other cash proceeds of the customer receivables go first to the servicer and the holders of the asset-backed notes, and then to the residual equity holder. We retain the servicing of the securitized portfolio and receive a monthly fee of 4.75% (annualized) based on the outstanding balance of the securitized receivables, and we currently hold all of the residual equity. In addition, we, rather than the VIEs, will retain certain credit insurance income together with certain recoveries related to credit insurance and RSAs on charge-offs of the securitized receivables, which will continue to be reflected as a reduction of net charge-offs on a consolidated basis for as long as we consolidate the VIEs. We consolidate VIEs when we determine that we are the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the VIEs and our obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive residual returns are significant.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Segment Information Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities and for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance. We are a leading specialty retailer and offer a broad selection of quality, branded durable consumer goods and related services in addition to a proprietary credit solution for our core credit-constrained consumers. We have two operating segments: (i) retail and (ii) credit. Our operating segments complement one another. The retail segment operates primarily through our stores and website. Our retail segment product offerings include furniture and mattresses, home appliances, consumer electronics and home office products from leading global brands across a wide range of price points. Our credit segment offers affordable financing solutions to a large, under-served population of credit-constrained consumers who typically have limited credit alternatives. Our operating segments provide customers the opportunity to comparison shop across brands with confidence in our competitive prices as well as affordable monthly payment options, next day delivery and installation in the majority of our markets, and product repair service. The operating segments follow the same accounting policies used in our consolidated financial statements. We evaluate a segment’s performance based upon operating income before taxes. SG&A includes the direct expenses of the retail and credit operations, allocated overhead expenses, and a charge to the credit segment to reimburse the retail segment for expenses it incurs related to occupancy, personnel, advertising and other direct costs of the retail segment which benefit the credit operations by sourcing credit customers and collecting payments. The reimbursement received by the retail segment from the credit segment is calculated using an annual rate of 2.5% times the average outstanding portfolio balance for each applicable period. As of January 31, 2021, we operated retail stores in 15 states with no operations outside of the United States. No single customer accounts for more than 10% of our total revenues.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events Sale of Asset Backed Notes. On February 24, 2021, the Company completed the sale of $62.9 million aggregate principal amount of 4.20% Asset Backed Fixed Rate Notes, Class C, Series 2020-A, which were previously issued and held by the Company. The asset-backed notes are secured by the transferred customer accounts receivables and restricted cash held by a consolidated VIE, which resulted in net proceeds to us of $62.5 million, net of debt issuance costs. Net proceeds from the sale were used to repay amounts outstanding under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility. Amendment and Restatement of Revolving Credit Facility. On March 29, 2021 the Company entered into the Fifth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Fifth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement”), by and among the Company, as parent and guarantor, Conn Appliances, Inc., Conn Credit I, LP and Conn Credit Corporation, Inc., as borrowers, certain banks and financial institutions named therein, as lenders, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the Lenders. The Fifth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, among other things, (1) extended the maturity date of the existing revolving credit facility to March 2025 (originally scheduled to mature in May 2022), (2) expanded the eligibility criteria of certain component definitions of the borrowing base and increased the inventory advance rate thereunder, (3) changed the rates included in the definition of Applicable Margin (as defined in the Fifth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement) and the rate floor included in the definition of LIBOR contained in the Fifth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, (4) permitted borrowings under the Letter of Credit Subline (as defined in the Fifth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement) to exceed the cap of $40 million to $100 million, solely at the discretion of the Lenders for such amounts in excess of $40 million, (5) modified the incremental facility provisions to hardwire the ability for the borrowers to have such incremental facilities structured as a first-in, last-out (FILO) tranche, and (6) eliminated the additional covenants and certain other restrictions placed on the borrowers during the covenant relief period provided for under the existing revolving credit facility, which included removing the (i) minimum liquidity covenant, (ii) minimum availability covenant, (iii) anti-cash hoarding covenant and (iv) restrictions on (x) making acquisitions and certain other investments, (y) making certain non-ordinary course restricted payments and (z) prepaying certain indebtedness. The foregoing description of the Fifth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Fifth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, which is filed with this Annual Report on Form 10-K as Exhibit 10.15, which is incorporated by reference herein. High Yield Note Redemption. On March 15, 2021, we issued a notice of redemption to holders of our Senior Notes for the redemption of all 141,172,000 outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes. The redemption date for the Senior Notes will be April 15, 2021. The redemption price for the Senior Notes will be calculated in accordance with the indenture governing the Senior Notes and will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. After such redemptions, no Senior Notes will remain outstanding. We expect to fund the redemption with borrowings under our revolving credit agreement. The foregoing does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to the Senior Notes.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Business	Business. Conn’s, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a holding company with no independent assets or operations other than its investments in its subsidiaries. References to “we,” “our,” “us,” “the Company,” “Conn’s” or “CONN” refer to Conn’s, Inc. and, as apparent from the context, its subsidiaries. Conn’s is a leading specialty retailer that offers a broad selection of quality, branded durable consumer goods and related services in addition to proprietary credit solutions for its core credit-constrained consumers. We operate an integrated and scalable business through our retail stores and website. Our complementary product offerings include furniture and mattresses, home appliances, consumer electronics and home office products from leading global brands across a wide range of price points. Our credit offering provides financing solutions to a large, under-served population of credit-constrained consumers who typically have limited credit alternatives. We operate two reportable segments: retail and credit. Our retail stores bear the “Conn’s HomePlus” name with all of our stores providing the same products and services to a common customer group. Our stores follow the same procedures and methods in managing their operations. Our retail business and credit business are operated independently from each other. The credit segment is dedicated to providing short- and medium-term financing to our retail customers. The retail segment is not involved in credit approval decisions or collection efforts. Our management evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the operating results of the retail and credit segments.
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year. Our fiscal year ends on January 31. References to a fiscal year refer to the calendar year in which the fiscal year ends.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Conn’s, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Variable Interest Entities	Variable Interest Entities. Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) are consolidated if the Company is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the VIE and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We securitize customer accounts receivables by transferring the receivables to various bankruptcy-remote VIEs. We retain the servicing of the securitized portfolio and have a variable interest in each corresponding VIE by holding the residual equity. We have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of each respective VIE because (i) our servicing responsibilities for the securitized portfolio give us the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the VIE and (ii) our variable interest in the VIE gives us the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive residual returns that potentially could be significant. As a result, we consolidate the respective VIEs within our consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 6, Debt and Financing Lease Obligations , and Note 13, Variable Interest Entities , for additional information.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make informed judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Changes in facts and circumstances or additional information may result in revised estimates, and actual results may differ, even significantly, from these estimates. Management evaluates its estimates and related assumptions regularly, including those related to the allowance for doubtful accounts and allowances for no-interest option credit programs, which are particularly sensitive given the size of our customer portfolio balance.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents. As of January 31, 2021 and 2020, cash and cash equivalents included cash, credit card deposits in transit, and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less. Credit card deposits in transit included in cash and cash equivalents were $7.9 million and $4.0 million as of January 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Restricted cash	Restricted Cash. The restricted cash balance as of January 31, 2021 and 2020 includes $41.6 million and $59.7 million, respectively, of cash we collected as servicer on the securitized receivables that was subsequently remitted to the VIEs and $7.0 million and $13.9 million, respectively, of cash held by the VIEs as additional collateral for the asset-backed notes.
Customer accounts receivable	Customer Accounts Receivable. Customer accounts receivable reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet includes total receivables managed, including both those transferred to the VIEs and those not transferred to the VIEs. Customer accounts receivable are recognized at the time the customer takes possession of the product. As discussed in more detail below, effective February 1, 2020 the Company adopted ASC 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . Under the newly adopted standard, expected lifetime losses on customer accounts receivable are recognized upon origination through an allowance for credit losses account that is deducted from the customer account receivable balance and presented net thereof. Customer accounts receivable include the net of unamortized deferred fees charged to customers and origination costs. Customer receivables are considered delinquent if a payment has not been received on the scheduled due date. Accounts that are delinquent more than 209 days as of the end of a month are charged-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts along with interest accrued subsequent to the last payment. In an effort to mitigate losses on our accounts receivable, we may make loan modifications to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. The loan modifications are intended to maximize net cash flow after expenses and avoid the need to exercise legal remedies available to us. We may extend or “re-age” a portion of our customer accounts, which involves modifying the payment terms to defer a portion of the cash payments due. Our re-aging of customer accounts does not change the interest rate or the total principal amount due from the customer and typically does not reduce the monthly contractual payments. To a much lesser extent, we may provide the customer the ability to refinance their account, which typically does not change the interest rate or the total principal amount due from the customer but does reduce the monthly contractual payments and extend the term. We consider accounts that have been re-aged in excess of three months or refinanced as Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDR” or “Restructured Accounts”). On March 27, 2020 the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law to address the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under the CARES Act, modifications deemed to be COVID-19 related are not considered a TDR if the loan was current (not more than 30 days past due as of March 31, 2020) and the deferral was executed between April 1, 2020 and the earlier of 60 days after the termination of the COVID-19 national emergency or December 31, 2020. In response to the CARES Act, the Company implemented short-term deferral programs for our customers. The carrying value of the customer receivables on accounts which were current prior to receiving a COVID-19 related deferment was $65.2 million as of January 31, 2021.
Interest Income on Customer Accounts Receivable	Interest Income on Customer Accounts Receivable. Interest income, which includes interest income and amortization of deferred fees and origination costs, is recorded using the interest method and is reflected in finance charges and other revenues. Typically, interest income is recorded until the customer account is paid off or charged-off, and we provide an allowance for estimated uncollectible interest. We reserve for interest that is more than 60 days past due. Any contractual interest income received from customers in excess of the interest income calculated using the interest method is recorded as deferred revenue on our balance sheets. At January 31, 2021 and 2020, there were $8.9 million and $10.6 million, respectively, of deferred interest included in deferred revenues and other credits and other long-term liabilities. The deferred interest will ultimately be brought into income as the accounts pay off or charge-off. We offer a 12-month no-interest option program. If the customer is delinquent in making a scheduled monthly payment or does not repay the principal in full by the end of the no-interest option program period (grace periods are provided), the account does not qualify for the no-interest provision and none of the interest earned is waived. Interest income is recognized based on estimated accrued interest earned to date on all no-interest option finance programs with an offsetting reserve for those customers expected to satisfy the requirements of the program based on our historical experience. We recognize interest income on TDR accounts using the interest income method, which requires reporting interest income equal to the increase in the net carrying amount of the loan attributable to the passage of time. Cash proceeds and other adjustments are applied to the net carrying amount such that it equals the present value of expected future cash flows. We place accounts in non-accrual status when legally required. Payments received on non-accrual loans will be applied to principal and reduce the balance of the loan. At January 31, 2021 and 2020, the carrying value of customer accounts receivable in non-accrual status was $8.5 million and $12.5 million, respectively. At January 31, 2021 and 2020, the carrying value of customer accounts receivable that were past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $111.5 million and $132.7 million, respectively. At January 31, 2021 and January 31, 2020, the carrying value of customer accounts receivable in a bankruptcy status that were less than 60 days past due of $5.2 million and $12.1 million, respectively, were included within the customer receivables balance carried in non-accrual status.
Inventories	Inventories. Inventories consist of merchandise purchased for resale and service parts and are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The carrying value of the inventory is reduced to its net realizable value for any product lines with excess of carrying amount, typically weighted-average cost, over the amount we expect to realize from the ultimate sale or other disposition of the inventory, with a corresponding charge to cost of sales. The write-down of inventory to net realizable value is estimated based on assumptions regarding inventory aging and historical product sales.
Vendor Allowances	Vendor Allowances. We receive funds from vendors for price protection, product rebates (earned upon purchase or sale of product), marketing, and promotion programs, collectively referred to as vendor allowances, which are recorded on an accrual basis. We estimate the vendor allowances to accrue based on the progress of satisfying the terms of the programs based on actual and projected sales or purchase of qualifying products. If the programs are related to product purchases, the vendor allowances are recorded as a reduction of product cost in inventory still on hand with any remaining amounts recorded as a
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment. Property and equipment, including any major additions and improvements to property and equipment, are recorded at cost. Normal repairs and maintenance that do not materially extend the life of property and equipment are expensed as incurred. Depreciation, which includes amortization of financed leases, is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or in the case of leasehold improvements, over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the remaining terms of the leases.
Internal-Use Software Costs	Internal-Use Software Costs. Costs related to software developed or obtained for internal use and cloud-based computing arrangements are expensed as incurred until the application development stage has been reached. Once the application development stage has been reached, certain qualifying costs are capitalized until the software is ready for its intended use. Costs incurred during the post implementation stage are expensed as incurred. Once placed into service, capitalized costs are amortized over periods of up to 10 years. No software costs were written-off in the years ended January 31, 2021 and 2019. For the year ended January 31, 2020, we incurred a $1.2 million loss on impairments of software costs for a loan management system that was abandoned during fiscal year 2020. See Note 4, Charges and Credits, for further details regarding fiscal year 2020 write-offs.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment, primarily at the asset group level. The asset group is defined as stores and cross-docks within a distribution center’s service area. We monitor asset group performance in order to assess if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The most likely condition that would necessitate an assessment would be an adverse change in historical and estimated future results of an asset group's performance. For property and equipment held and used, we recognize an impairment loss if the carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measure the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and estimated fair value. During the year ended January 31, 2020, we recognized $3.2 million in impairments from the exiting of certain leases. See Note 4, Charges and Credits, for details. For the years ended January 31, 2021 and 2019 there were no impairments.
Leases	Leases. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. If the estimate of our incremental borrowing rate was changed, our operating lease assets and liabilities could differ materially. We record lease incentives as a reduction to the operating lease right-of-use assets upon commencement of the lease and amortize the balance on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have made a policy election for all classifications of leases to combine lease and non-lease components and to account for them as a single lease component.
Debt Issuance Costs	Debt Issuance Costs. Costs that are direct and incremental to debt issuance are deferred and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected life of the debt. All other costs related to debt issuance are expensed as incurred. We present debt issuance costs associated with long-term debt as a reduction of the carrying amount of the debt. Unamortized costs related to the Revolving Credit Facility, as defined in Note 6, Debt and Financing Lease Obligations , are included in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet and were $3.5 million and $3.5 million as of January 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition. The Company accounts for revenue under ASC 606 and has the following material revenue streams: the sale of products (e.g. appliances, electronics) including delivery; the sale of third party warranty and insurance programs, including retrospective income; service income; interest income generated from the financing of point of sale transactions; and volume rebate incentives received from a third party financier. Sale of Products Including Delivery: The Company has a single performance obligation associated with these contracts: the delivery of the product to the customer, at which point control transfers. Revenue for the sale of products is recognized at the time of delivery, net of any adjustments for sales incentives such as discounts, coupons, rebates or other free products or services. Sales financed through third-party no-interest option programs typically require us to pay a fee to the third party on each completed sale, which is recorded as a reduction of net sales in the retail segment. Sale of Third Party Warranty and Insurance Programs, Including Retrospective Income: We sell repair service agreements (“RSA”) and credit insurance contracts on behalf of unrelated third-parties. The Company has a single performance obligation associated with these contracts: the delivery of the product to the customer, at which point control transfers. Commissions related to these contracts are recognized in revenue upon delivery of the product. We also may serve as the administrator of the RSAs sold and defer 5% of the revenue received from the sale of RSAs as compensation for this performance obligation as 5% represents the estimated stand-alone sales price to serve as the administrator. The deferred RSA administration fee is recorded in income ratably over the life of the RSA contract sold. Retrospective income on RSA contracts is recognized upon delivery of the product based on an estimate of claims and is adjusted throughout the life of the contracts as actual claims materialize. Retrospective income on insurance contracts is recognized when earned as that is the point at which we no longer believe a significant reversal of income is probable as the consideration is highly susceptible to factors outside of our influence. Service Income: The Company has a single performance obligation associated with these contracts: the servicing of the RSA claims. Service revenues are recognized at the time service is provided to the customer. Volume Rebate Incentive: As part of our agreement with our third-party provider of no-interest option programs, we may receive a volume rebate incentive based on the total dollar value of sales made under our third-party provider. The Company has a single performance obligation associated with this contract: the delivery of the product to the customer, at which point control transfers. Revenue for the volume rebate incentive is recognized upon delivery of the product to the customer based on the projected total annual dollar value of sales to be made under our third-party provider.
Deferred Revenue	Deferred Revenue. Deferred revenue related to contracts with customers consists of deferred customer deposits and deferred RSA administration fees. During the twelve months ended January 31, 2021, we recognized $1.2 million of revenue for customer deposits deferred as of the beginning of the period compared to $1.0 million recognized during the twelve months ended January 31, 2020. During the twelve months ended January 31, 2021, we recognized $4.0 million of revenue for RSA administrative fees deferred as of the beginning of the period compared to $5.1 million recognized during the twelve months ended January 31, 2020.
Expense Classifications	Expense Classifications. We record as cost of goods sold, the direct cost of products and parts sold and related costs for delivery, transportation and handling, inbound freight, receiving, inspection, and other costs associated with the operations of our distribution system, including occupancy related to our warehousing operations. The costs associated with our merchandising, advertising, sales commissions, and all store occupancy costs, are included in selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”).
Advertising Costs	Advertising Costs. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019, advertising expense was $72.5 million, $84.8 million and $80.5 million, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-based Compensation. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded for share-based compensation awards, net of actual forfeitures, over the requisite service period using the straight-line method. For equity-classified share-based compensation awards, expense is recognized based on the grant-date fair value. For stock option grants, we use the Black-Scholes model to determine fair value. For grants of restricted stock units, the fair value of the grant is the market value of our stock at the date of issuance. For grants of performance-based restricted stock units, the fair value of the grant is the market value of our stock at the date of issuance adjusted for any market conditions.
Self-insurance	Self-insurance. We are self-insured for certain losses relating to group health, workers’ compensation, automobile, general and product liability claims. We have stop-loss coverage to limit the exposure arising from these claims. Self-insurance losses for claims filed and claims incurred, but not reported, are accrued based upon our estimates of the net aggregate liability for claims incurred using development factors based on historical experience.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes. We are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state jurisdictions. We follow the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between GAAP and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, as measured using the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period in which the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become realizable. To the extent penalties and interest are incurred, we record these charges as a component of our provision for income taxes.
Earnings per Share	Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effects of any stock options, restricted stock unit awards (“RSUs”) and performance stock awards (“PSUs”), which are calculated using the treasury-stock method. The following table sets forth the shares outstanding for the earnings per share calculations: Year Ended January 31, 2021 2020 2019 Weighted-average common shares outstanding - Basic 29,060,512 30,275,662 31,668,370 Dilutive effect of stock options, RSUs and PSUs — 539,113 706,005 Weighted-average common shares outstanding - Diluted 29,060,512 30,814,775 32,374,375
Contingencies	Contingencies. An estimated loss from a contingency is recorded if it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies are not recorded until realization is assured beyond a reasonable doubt. Legal costs related to loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are categorized using defined hierarchical levels related to subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair value measurements as follows: • Level 1 – Inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (for example, quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or market-corroborated inputs). • Level 3 – Inputs that are not observable from objective sources such as our internally developed assumptions used in pricing an asset or liability (for example, an estimate of future cash flows used in our internally developed present value of future cash flows model that underlies the fair-value measurement). In determining fair value, we use observable market data when available, or models that incorporate observable market data. When we are required to measure fair value and there is not a market-observable price for the asset or liability or for a similar asset or liability, we use the cost or income approach depending on the quality of information available to support management’s assumptions. The cost approach is based on management’s best estimate of the current asset replacement cost. The income approach is based on management’s best assumptions regarding expectations of future net cash flows and discounts the expected cash flows using a commensurate risk-adjusted discount rate. Such evaluations involve significant judgment, and the results are based on expected future events or conditions such as sales prices, economic and regulatory climates, and other factors, most of which are often outside of management’s control. However, we believe assumptions used reflect a market participant’s view of long-term prices, costs, and other factors and are consistent with assumptions used in our business plans and investment decisions. In arriving at fair-value estimates, we use relevant observable inputs available for the valuation technique employed. If a fair-value measurement reflects inputs at multiple levels within the hierarchy, the fair-value measurement is characterized based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair-value measurement. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of customer accounts receivable, determined using a Level 3 discounted cash flow analysis, approximates their carrying value, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The fair value of our Revolving Credit Facility approximates carrying value based on the current borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements. At January 31, 2021, the fair value of the Senior Notes outstanding approximates their carrying value and was determined using Level 1 inputs. At January 31, 2021, the fair value of the asset-backed notes was $416.3 million, compared to the carrying value of $414.0 million, which was determined using Level 2 inputs based on inactive trading activity.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology. Under the new guidance entities must reserve an allowance for expected credit losses over the life of the loan. The measurement of expected credit losses is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the customer account receivable’s amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected. Customer receivables are charged off against the allowance when management deems an account to be uncollectible. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses . ASU 2019-04 requires that the current estimate of recoveries are included in the allowance for credit losses. Effective February 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2019-04 using the modified retrospective approach. The Company has reviewed its entire portfolio of assets recognized on the balance sheet as of January 31, 2020 and identified Customer Accounts Receivables as the materially impacted asset in-scope of ASC 326. The risk of credit losses from the remaining portfolio of assets was concluded to be immaterial. Upon adoption of ASC 326 the Company recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $76.5 million as of February 1, 2020. Results for reporting periods prior to February 1, 2020 are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting policies under previously applicable GAAP. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis where similar risk characteristics exist. Upon adoption of ASC 326, the Company elected to maintain the pools of customer accounts receivable that were previously accounted for under ASC 310 (Non-TDR Non-Re-aged, Non-TDR Re-aged, and TDR). These pools are further segmented based on shared risk attributes, which include the borrower’s FICO score, product class, length of customer relationship and delinquency status. The allowance for credit losses is determined for each pool and added to the pool’s carrying amount to establish a new amortized cost basis. Changes to the allowance for credit losses after adoption are recorded through provision expense. We have elected to use a risk-based, pool-level segmentation framework to calculate the expected loss rate. This framework is based on our historical gross charge-off history. In addition to adjusted historical gross charge-off rates, estimates of post-charge-off recoveries, including cash payments from customers, sales tax recoveries from taxing jurisdictions, and payments received under credit insurance and repair service agreement (“RSA”) policies are also considered. We also consider forward-looking economic forecasts based on a statistical analysis of economic factors (specifically, forecast of unemployment rates over the reasonable and supportable forecasting period). To the extent that situations and trends arise which are not captured in our model, management will layer on additional qualitative adjustments. The Company uses a 24-month reasonable and supportable forecast period for the Customer Accounts Receivable portfolio. We estimate losses beyond the 24-month forecast period based on historic loss rates experienced over the life of our historic loan portfolio by loan pool type. We revisit our measurement methodology and assumption annually, or more frequently if circumstances warrant. The cumulative effect of the changes made to the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as a result of the adoption of ASC 326 were as follows: Impact of Adoption of ASC 326 (in thousands) Balance at January 31, 2020 Adjustments due to ASC 326 Balance at February 1, 2020 Assets Customer accounts receivable $ 673,742 $ (49,700) $ 624,042 Long-term portion of customer accounts receivable 663,761 (48,962) 614,799 Deferred Income Taxes 18,599 22,173 40,772 Stockholders’ Equity Retained Earnings $ 570,636 $ (76,489) $ 494,147 Leases. In February 2016 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases. Effective February 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02 using the modified retrospective approach. For most leases, a liability was recorded on the balance sheet based on the present value of future lease obligations with a corresponding right-of-use asset. Primarily for those leases currently classified by us as operating leases, we recognize a single lease cost on a straight line basis. Other leases are required to be accounted for as financing arrangements similar to how we previously accounted for capital leases. Upon adoption we elected a package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard. The practical expedients adopted allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification, allowed us to not separate and allocate the consideration paid between lease and non-lease components included within a contract and allowed us to carry forward our accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements. We also adopted an optional transition method that waived the requirement to apply this ASU in the comparative periods presented within the financial statements in the year of adoption. Additionally, we have elected the short-term policy election for the Company for any lease that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of twelve months or less. We will not recognize a lease liability or right-of-use asset on the balance sheet for any of our short-term leases. Rather, the short-term lease payments will be recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The current period short-term lease expense reasonably reflects our short-term lease commitments. The cumulative effect of the changes made to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as a result of the adoption of ASC 842 were as follows (in thousands): Impact of Adoption of ASC 842 (in thousands) Balance at January 31, 2019 Adjustments due to ASC 842 Balance at February 1, 2019 Assets Current assets (1) $ 1,014,394 $ (2,983) $ 1,011,411 Operating lease right-of-use assets (2) — 227,421 227,421 Deferred income taxes (3) 27,535 (1,447) 26,088 Liabilities Current liabilities (4) 237,568 (12,426) 225,142 Operating lease liability - current (5) — 29,815 29,815 Deferred rent (4) 93,127 (93,127) — Operating lease liability - non-current (5) — 300,170 300,170 Other long-term liabilities (3) 33,015 (7,606) 25,409 Stockholder’s equity (3) 619,975 6,160 626,135 (1) Reclassification of the $3.0 million January 31, 2019 balance of accounts receivable for tenant improvement allowances to a reduction in the operating lease liability. (2) The operating lease right-of-use assets represent the present value of the lease liability offset by the full value of deferred rent and tenant improvement allowances received from the lessor which had not been utilized as of the date of adoption. (3) A net cumulative-effect adjustment to increase retained earnings by $6.2 million to recognize the $7.6 million January 31, 2019 balance of deferred gains which resulted from sale and operating leaseback transactions made at off-market terms offset by the $1.4 million impact on our deferred tax asset related to the sale-leaseback transactions. (4) Reclassification of the full value of deferred rent and tenant improvement allowances received from lessors, which were previously recorded as liabilities as they had not been utilized as of the date of adoption, to a reduction of the operating lease right-of-use assets. (5) The operating lease liability represents the $340.5 million present value of future operating lease obligations as of January 31, 2019, offset by $10.5 million of accounts receivable for tenant improvement allowances. Cloud Computing Arrangements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract . ASU 2018-15 requires companies to apply the accounting guidance as prescribed by ASC 350- 40, Internal Use Software , in determining which cloud-based implementation costs should be capitalized as assets or expensed as incurred. The internal-use software guidance requires the capitalization of certain costs incurred during the application development stage of an internal-use software project, while requiring companies to expense all costs incurred during preliminary project and post-implementation project stages. The standard may be applied either prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the adoption date or retrospectively. ASU 2018-15 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2018-15 on a prospective basis effective February 1, 2019. Costs eligible for capitalization are capitalized within prepaid expenses and other assets and expensed through operating expenses in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, respectively. Prior to adoption, eligible costs were capitalized within property and equipment and expensed through depreciation. Changes due to Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X Rules 13-01 and 13-02. In March 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) amended Regulation S-X to create Rules 13-01 and 13-02. These new rules reduce and simplify financial disclosure requirements for issuers and guarantors of registered debt offerings. Previously, with limited exceptions, a parent entity was required to provide detailed disclosures with regard to guarantors of registered debt offerings within the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements. Under the new regulations, disclosure exceptions have been expanded and required disclosures may be provided within Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations rather than in the notes to the financial statements. Further, summarized guarantor balance sheet and income statements are permitted, with the requirement to provide guarantor cash flow statements eliminated. Summarized guarantor financial statements only need be disclosed for the current fiscal year rather than all years presented in the financial statements as was previously required. The guidance will become effective for filings on or after January 4, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to early adopt the new regulations beginning with the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. Our summarized guarantor financial statements are presented outside the audited financial statements in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Yet To Be Adopted. Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes , an update intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. This guidance removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This accounting standards update will be effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reportin g, an update that provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This accounting standards update was effective upon issuance, with adoption permitted through December 31, 2022. We expect to adopt ASC 2020-04 in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. We do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective as of January 31, 2021 have had or are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
