Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation | 1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation Nature of Business— Zumiez Inc., including its wholly owned subsidiaries, (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “its” and “our”) is a leading specialty retailer of apparel, footwear, accessories and hardgoods for young men and women who want to express their individuality through the fashion, music, art and culture of action sports, streetwear, and other unique lifestyles. At May 5, 2018, we operated 700 stores; 608 in the United States (“U.S.”), 50 in Canada, 35 in Europe, and 7 in Australia. We operate under the names Zumiez, Blue Tomato and Fast Times. Additionally, we operate ecommerce websites at zumiez.com , blue-tomato.com and fasttimes.com.au. Fiscal Year— We use a fiscal calendar widely used by the retail industry that results in a fiscal year consisting of a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. Each fiscal year consists of four 13-week quarters, with an extra week added to the fourth quarter every five or six years. The three months ended May 5, 2018 and April 29, 2017 were 13-week periods. Basis of Presentation— The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zumiez Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. In our opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The financial data at February 3, 2018 is derived from audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2018, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year due to seasonality and other factors. Use of Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates can also affect supplemental information disclosed by us, including information about contingencies, risk and financial condition. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. Significant Accounting Policies— Our significant accounting policies are detailed in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” within Part IV Item 15 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2018. There have been no significant changes in accounting policies, with exception of the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Our significant accounting policies impacted by the adoption of ASC 606 are discussed below. Revenue Recognition— Revenue is recognized upon purchase at our retail store locations. For our ecommerce sales, revenue is recognized when control passes to the customer upon shipment. Taxes collected from our customers are recorded on a net basis. We accrue for estimated sales returns by customers based on historical return experience. The allowance for sales returns was $1.7 million at May 5, 2018 and $2.6 million at February 3, 2018. We record the sale of gift cards as a current liability and recognize revenue when a customer redeems a gift card. The current liability for gift cards was $3.1 million at May 5, 2018 and $6.4 million at February 3, 2018. Additionally, the portion of gift cards that will not be redeemed (“gift card breakage”) is recognized in proportion of the patterns used by the customer based on our historical redemption patterns. For the three months ended May 5, 2018 and April 29, 2017, we recognized net sales related to gift card breakage of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Loyalty Program— We have a customer loyalty program, the Zumiez STASH, which allows members to earn points for purchases or performance of certain activities. The points can be redeemed for a broad range of rewards, including product and experiential rewards. Points earned for purchases are recorded as a current liability and a reduction of net sales based on the relative fair value of the points at the time the points are earned and estimated redemption rates. The revenue is recognized upon redemption of points for rewards. Points earned for the performance of activities are recorded as a current liability based on the estimated cost of the points and as marketing expense when redeemed. The deferred revenue related to our customer loyalty program was $1.7 million at May 5, 2018 and $1.6 million at February 3, 2018. Recent Accounting Standards— In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a comprehensive standard related to lease accounting to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Most significantly, the new guidance requires lessees to recognize operating leases with a term of more than 12 months as lease assets and lease liabilities. The adoption will require a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The new standard is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018. We will adopt for the fiscal year beginning February 3, 2019. All of our retail store locations are subject to operating lease arrangements. While we expect this standard to result in a material increase to the assets and liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, we are continuing to evaluate the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Our minimum lease commitments at May 5, 2018 are disclosed in Note 4, “Commitments and Contingencies”. In January 2016, the FASB issued a new standard related primarily to accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities where the fair value option has been elected, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. There will no longer be an available-for-sale classification for equity securities and therefore, no changes in fair value will be reported in other comprehensive income for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. We adopted this standard beginning February 4, 2018 and it did not have a material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard codified under ASC 606. The new standard allows for a full retrospective approach to transition or a modified retrospective approach. This guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. On February 4, 2018, we adopted this standard using the modified retrospective approach. Results at May 5, 2018 and for the three months ended May 5, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while results at April 29, 2017 and for the three months ended April 29, 2017 continue to be reported in accordance with our historical accounting under ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition The adoption of ASC 606 resulted in a change to the timing of revenue recognition on ecommerce sales from delivery to shipment and the timing of revenue recognition on gift card breakage from remote to in proportion to the patterns of rights exercised by our customers. We recorded an increase to retained earnings of $2.1 million, net of $0.6 million in taxes, as of February 4, 2018 due to the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 606. The cumulative effect resulted in a decrease in other liabilities of $3.1 million and inventory of $0.4 million, as well as $0.4 million decrease in our deferred tax assets and $0.2 million increase in income taxes payable. The impact of adopting ASC 606 was not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended May 5, 2018. We elected to use the practical expedients to account for shipping and handling costs that occur after the customer obtains control of the goods as fulfillment costs. We accrue the expense of shipping and handling costs when product is shipped. We also elected to exclude from net sales the tax amounts collected from our customers to be remitted to governmental authorities |
