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. We operate under the names Zumiez, Blue Tomato and Fast Times. We operate ecommerce websites at zumiez.com, zumiez.ca, blue-tomato.com and fasttimes.com.au. At July 31, 2021, we operated 725 stores; 602 in the United States (“U.S.”), 52 in Canada, 55 in Europe, and 16 in Australia COVID-19— In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was first identified, and in March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 as a pandemic. In March 2020, we experienced global store closures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that extended for a significant portion of March and April. We began gradually re-opening retail stores near the end of the first quarter and into the second quarter of fiscal 2020, with the majority of our stores open through the third and fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 . Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, during the three and six months ended August 1, 2020, our stores were, open on an aggregate basis, approximately 73.4%, and 61.8% of the possible days across the global business, compared to 96.3% and 95.0% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2021. In certain regions, COVID-19 related closures have continued into 2021 where we have seen the majority of our closures in Europe, Eastern Canada, and Australia. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen an increased demand in ecommerce sales in markets with store closures. Changes in our operations due to COVID-19 resulted in material fluctuations to our results of operations during the six months ended August 1, 2020 and throughout fiscal 2020 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 July 31, 2021 and August 1, 2020 were 13-week periods. The six months ended July 31, 2021 and August 1, 2020 were 26-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 January 30, 2021 is derived from audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 30, 2021, 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. Restricted Cash— Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or use under the terms of certain contractual agreements are recorded as restricted cash in other long-term assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows (in thousands): July 31, 2021 January 30, 2021 Cash and cash equivalents $ 74,207 $ 73,622 Restricted cash included in other long-term assets 7,091 7,068 Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as shown in the statement of cash flows $ 81,298 $ 80,690 Restricted cash included in other long-term assets represents amounts held as insurance collateral and collateral for bank guarantees on certain store operating leases. Recent Accounting Standards— We review recent account pronouncements on a quarterly basis and have excluded discussion of those that are not applicable and those that we determined did not have, or are not expected to have, a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. |
