Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Neiman Marcus Group LTD LLC (the "Company") is a luxury omni-channel retailer conducting store and online operations principally under the Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman and Last Call brand names. References to "we," "our" and "us" are used to refer to the Company or collectively to the Company and its subsidiaries, as appropriate to the context. The Company is a subsidiary of Mariposa Intermediate Holdings LLC ("Holdings"), which in turn is a subsidiary of Neiman Marcus Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"). Parent is owned by entities affiliated with Ares Management, L.P. and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (together, the "Sponsors") and certain co-investors. The Sponsors acquired the Company on October 25, 2013 (the "Acquisition"). The Company's operations are conducted through its direct wholly owned subsidiary, The Neiman Marcus Group LLC ("NMG"). In October 2014, we acquired MyTheresa, a luxury retailer headquartered in Munich, Germany. The operations of MyTheresa are conducted primarily through the mytheresa.com website. In September 2018, substantially all of the holdings of NMG International LLC were distributed to NMG, to the Company, to Holdings and, ultimately, to Parent (the "Distribution"). These holdings consisted principally of the entities through which we had conducted the operations of MyTheresa. As a result of the Distribution, MyTheresa is no longer a subsidiary of the Company but rather a subsidiary of our Parent. The assets and liabilities of MyTheresa for periods prior to the Distribution are included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 include the operating results of MyTheresa only for the two months prior to the Distribution and three months of MyTheresa operating results are included in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements set forth financial information of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to July 31. Like many other retailers, we follow a 4-5-4 reporting calendar, which means that each fiscal quarter consists of thirteen weeks divided into periods of four weeks, five weeks and four weeks. All references to (i) the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 relate to the thirteen weeks ended October 27, 2018 and (ii) the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 relate to the thirteen weeks ended October 28, 2017 . We have prepared the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 . In our opinion, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the applicable interim periods. The luxury retail industry is seasonal in nature, with higher sales typically generated in the fall and holiday selling seasons. Due to seasonal and other factors, the results of operations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 are not necessarily comparable to, or indicative of, results of any other interim period or for the fiscal year as a whole. Certain prior period income statement amounts have been reclassified for comparability with the current year presentation related to the inclusion of income from our credit card program within revenues. The reclassifications have no net impact on the presentation of net earnings (loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. A detailed description of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 . Use of Estimates. We are required to make estimates and assumptions about future events in preparing our financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of gain and loss contingencies at the date of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. While we believe that our past estimates and assumptions have been materially accurate, the amounts currently estimated are subject to change if different assumptions as to the outcome of future events were made. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and predicate those estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. We make adjustments to our estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Since future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty, actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We believe the following critical accounting policies, among others, encompass the more significant estimates, assumptions and judgments used in the preparation of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements: • recognition of revenues; • valuation of merchandise inventories, including determination of original retail values, recognition of markdowns and vendor allowances, estimation of inventory shrinkage and determination of cost of goods sold; • determination of impairment of intangible and long-lived assets; • measurement of liabilities related to our loyalty program; • recognition of income taxes; and • measurement of accruals for general liability, workers’ compensation and health insurance claims and pension and postretirement health care benefits. Segments. We conduct our specialty retail store and online operations on an omni-channel basis. As our store and online operations have similar economic characteristics, products, services and customers, our operations constitute a single omni-channel reportable segment. Revenue Recognition. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , to clarify the principles for revenue recognition. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenues arising from contracts with customers and supersedes previous revenue recognition guidance. We adopted the revenue recognition requirements of this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 using the modified retrospective adoption method and applied the ASU only to contracts not completed as of July 29, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, but impacted the presentation of certain revenue transactions. These changes include (i) the gross balance sheet presentation of estimates for sales returns and related recoverable inventories and (ii) the inclusion of income from our credit card program within revenues. Prior to the adoption of this guidance, our estimates of recoverable inventories were netted with our reserves for estimated sales returns. In addition, the adoption of this guidance accelerated the recognition of (i) online sales to the time of shipment versus delivery to coincide with the point in time when control has transferred to the customer and (ii) direct response advertising costs as incurred. Upon adoption, we recorded a net cumulative effect adjustment to reduce beginning accumulated deficit of $7.1 million . In addition, we have determined that our previous income statement classification of certain reserves for sales returns and promotional programs resulted in the overstatement of previously reported revenues and cost of goods sold by $24.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. We evaluated the effects of these overstatements on prior periods' consolidated financial statements, individually and in the aggregate, and concluded that no prior period is materially misstated. However, we have revised our consolidated financial statements for the periods presented herein. The corrections had no impact on net earnings (loss). We recognize revenues at the point-of-sale or upon shipment of goods to the customer. Shipping and handling costs are expensed as a fulfillment activity at shipping point. Revenues are reduced when our customers return goods previously purchased. We maintain reserves for anticipated sales returns based primarily on our historical trends and our expectations of future returns. Revenues exclude sales taxes collected from our customers. Other Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost , which requires employers to disaggregate and present the service cost component in the same line of the income statement as other compensation costs and present the other components of net benefit costs, primarily interest costs and investment earnings, separately from the service cost component, outside a subtotal of operating earnings. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 using the retrospective adoption method and reclassified other components of net benefit costs from selling, general and administrative expenses to benefit plan expense, net. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income , which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings for certain stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Reform"), which was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The new guidance may be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the Tax Reform is recognized. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and reclassified $7.6 million of stranded tax benefits from accumulated other comprehensive loss to reduce accumulated deficit. Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , that requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. Previous GAAP did not require lease assets and liabilities to be recognized for operating leases. Additionally, companies are permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. For both finance leases and operating leases, the lease liability should be initially measured at the present value of the remaining contractual lease payments. In July 2018, the FASB amended the new leases standard to provide entities with an additional and optional transition method and to provide entities with a practical expedient, whereby entities may elect not to separate lease and non-lease components when certain conditions are met. We do not expect the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from our operating leases to significantly change under this new guidance. However, we expect this adoption to lead to a material increase in the assets and liabilities recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We are still evaluating the impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. This new guidance is effective for us as of the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities , to simplify how hedge accounting arrangements are accounted for and presented in the financial statements, including the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Under the new standard, all changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges included in the assessment of effectiveness will be recorded in other comprehensive earnings (loss) and reclassified to earnings in the same income statement line item when the hedged item affects earnings. This new guidance is effective for us as of the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07— Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , to align accounting for non-employee share-based payment transactions with the guidance for share-based payments to employees. Under the new standard, the measurement of equity-classified non-employee awards will be fixed at the grant date. This new guidance is effective for us as of the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other revenues, net is principally composed of payments we receive related to our proprietary credit card program pursuant to an agreement (the "Program Agreement") with a third-party credit provider. We have credit cards and non-card payment plans under both the "Neiman Marcus" and "Bergdorf Goodman" brand names. We receive payments based on sales transacted on our proprietary credit cards. These payments are based on the profitability of the credit card portfolio as determined under the Program Agreement and are impacted by a number of factors including credit losses incurred and our allocable share of the profits generated by the credit card portfolio, which in turn may be impacted by credit ratings as determined by various rating agencies. In addition, we receive payments for marketing and servicing activities we provide. We recognize income from our credit card program when earned. The Program Agreement expires July 2020, subject to early termination provisions. Contract Liabilities. Contract liabilities relate to the transfer of goods or services to customers, consisting principally of unearned revenue, gift cards, loyalty points and other credits outstanding, are included within accrued liabilities. The contract liabilities aggregated $255.3 million at October 27, 2018 and $210.4 million at July 28, 2018 . Revenues recognized from our beginning contract liabilities were $41.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 .

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements	3 Months Ended
	Oct. 27, 2018
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements Certain of our assets and liabilities are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. Assets and liabilities are classified using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows: • Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. • Level 2 — Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs corroborated by market data. • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s estimates and assumptions. The following table shows the Company’s financial asset and liability that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets: (in thousands) Fair Value Hierarchy October 27, July 28, October 28, Asset: Interest rate swaps (included in other long-term assets) Level 2 $ 34,880 $ 35,649 $ 11,363 Liability: Stock-based award liability (included in other long-term liabilities) Level 3 8,500 8,807 5,166 The fair value of the interest rate swaps is estimated using industry standard valuation models using market-based observable inputs, including interest rate curves. Because Parent is privately held and there is no public market for its common stock, the fair market value of Parent's common stock is determined by the Board of Directors of Parent (the "Parent Board") or the Compensation Committee, as applicable. In determining the fair market value of Parent's common stock, the Parent Board or the Compensation Committee, as applicable, considers such factors as any recent transactions involving Parent's common stock, the Company’s actual and projected financial results, the principal amount of the Company’s indebtedness, valuations of the Company performed by third parties and other factors it believes are material to the valuation process. Significant inputs to the common stock valuation model are updated as applicable and the carrying value of the obligation is adjusted to its estimated fair value at each reporting date. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, credit card receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. We determine the fair value of our long-term debt on a non-recurring basis, which results are summarized as follows: October 27, 2018 July 28, 2018 October 28, 2017 (in thousands) Fair Value Hierarchy Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Long-term debt: Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility Level 2 $ 366,000 $ 366,000 $ 159,000 $ 159,000 $ 339,000 $ 339,000 mytheresa.com Credit Facilities Level 2 — — — — 4,869 4,869 Senior Secured Term Loan Facility Level 2 2,802,850 2,583,892 2,810,207 2,492,316 2,832,276 2,264,065 Cash Pay Notes Level 2 960,000 608,861 960,000 609,302 960,000 583,450 PIK Toggle Notes Level 2 658,354 415,665 658,354 420,997 628,500 342,922 2028 Debentures Level 2 122,944 95,345 122,890 103,570 122,731 79,375 We estimated the fair value of long-term debt using (i) prevailing market rates for debt of similar remaining maturities and credit risk for the senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (as amended, the "Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility") and the senior secured term loan facility (as amended, the "Senior Secured Term Loan Facility" and, together with the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility, the "Senior Secured Credit Facilities") and (ii) quoted market prices of the same or similar issues for the $960.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.00% Senior Cash Pay Notes due 2021 (the "Cash Pay Notes"), the $658.4 million aggregate principal amount of 8.75% / 9.50% Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2021 (the "PIK Toggle Notes") and the $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.125% Debentures due 2028 (the "2028 Debentures" and, together with the Cash Pay Notes and the PIK Toggle Notes, the "Notes"). In connection with purchase accounting, we adjusted the carrying values of our long-lived and intangible assets to their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The fair value estimates were based upon assumptions related to the future cash flows, discount rates and asset lives utilizing currently available information, and in some cases, valuation results from independent valuation specialists (Level 3 determination of fair value). Subsequent to the Acquisition, we determine the fair value of our long-lived and intangible assets on a non-recurring basis in connection with our periodic evaluations of such assets for potential impairment and record impairment charges when such fair value estimates are lower than the carrying values of the assets.

Favorable lease commitments are amortized straight-line over the remaining lives of the leases, ranging from five to 55 years (weighted average life of 30 years) from the Acquisition date. Our definite-lived intangible assets, which primarily consist of customer lists, are amortized using accelerated methods which reflect the pattern in which we receive the economic benefit of the asset, currently estimated at ten to 16 years (weighted average life of 14 years) from the Acquisition date. Total amortization of all intangible assets recorded in connection with acquisitions for the current and next five fiscal years is currently estimated as follows (in thousands): October 28, 2018 through August 3, 2019 $ 69,785 2020 86,633 2021 82,166 2022 82,394 2023 81,239 2024 64,469 At October 27, 2018 , accumulated amortization was $260.5 million for favorable lease commitments and $343.3 million for other definite-lived intangible assets. Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets and Goodwill. Indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as our Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman tradenames and goodwill, are not subject to amortization. Rather, we assess the recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and upon the occurrence of certain events. These impairment assessments are performed for each of our two reporting units — Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman.

Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility . At October 27, 2018 , we have an Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility with a maximum committed borrowing capacity of $900.0 million . The Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility matures on July 25, 2021 (or July 25, 2020 if our obligations under our Senior Secured Term Loan Facility or any permitted refinancing thereof have not been repaid or the maturity date thereof has not been extended to October 25, 2021 or later). At October 27, 2018 , we had outstanding borrowings of $366.0 million under this facility, outstanding letters of credit of $1.3 million and unused commitments of $532.8 million , subject to a borrowing base, of which $90.0 million of such capacity is available to us subject to certain restrictions as more fully described below. Availability under the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base. The Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit (up to $150.0 million , with any such issuance of letters of credit reducing the amount available under the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis) and for borrowings on same-day notice. The borrowing base is equal to at any time the sum of (a) 90% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory, net of certain reserves, plus (b) 90% of the amounts owed by credit card processors in respect of eligible credit card accounts constituting proceeds from the sale or disposition of inventory, less certain reserves, plus (c) 100% of segregated cash held in a restricted deposit account. To the extent that excess availability is not equal to or greater than the greater of (a) 10% of the lesser of (1) the aggregate revolving commitments and (2) the borrowing base and (b) $50.0 million , we will be required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. Additional restrictions will apply if this condition is not met for five consecutive business days, including increased reporting requirements and additional administrative agent control rights over certain of our accounts. These restrictions will continue until the condition is satisfied and their imposition may limit our operational flexibility. The Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility permits us to increase commitments under the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility or add one or more incremental term loans to the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility by an amount not to exceed $200.0 million . However, the lenders are under no obligation to provide any such additional commitments or loans, and any increase in commitments or incremental term loans will be subject to customary conditions precedent. If we were to request any such additional commitments and the existing lenders or new lenders were to agree to provide such commitments, the size of the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility could be increased to $1,100.0 million , but our ability to borrow would still be limited by the amount of the borrowing base. The cash proceeds of any incremental term loans may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. At October 27, 2018 , borrowings under the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility bore interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the prime rate of Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch (the administrative agent), (2) the federal funds effective rate plus ½ of 1.00% and (3) the adjusted one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% or (b) LIBOR , subject to certain adjustments, in each case plus an applicable margin of 0.75% with respect to base rate borrowings and 1.75% with respect to LIBOR borrowings at October 27, 2018 . The applicable margin is based on the average historical excess availability under the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility, and is up to 1.00% with respect to base rate borrowings and up to 2.00% with respect to LIBOR borrowings, in each case with one 0.25% step down based on achievement and maintenance of a certain senior secured first lien net leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement governing the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility). The weighted average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings pursuant to the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility was 4.28% at October 27, 2018 . In addition, we are required to pay a commitment fee in respect of unused commitments at a rate of up to 0.375% per annum. We must also pay customary letter of credit fees and agency fees. If at any time the aggregate amount of outstanding revolving loans, unreimbursed letter of credit drawings and undrawn letters of credit under the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility exceeds the lesser of (a) the aggregate revolving commitments and (b) the borrowing base, we will be required to repay outstanding loans or cash collateralize letters of credit in an aggregate amount equal to such excess, with no reduction of the commitment amount. If the excess availability under the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility is less than the greater of (a) 10% of the lesser of (1) the aggregate revolving commitments and (2) the borrowing base and (b) $50.0 million for a period of five or more consecutive business days, funds held in a collection account maintained with the agent would be applied to repay the loans and other obligations and cash collateralize letters of credit. We would then be required to make daily deposits in the collection account maintained with the agent under the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility. We may voluntarily reduce the unutilized portion of the commitment amount and repay outstanding loans at any time without premium or penalty other than customary breakage costs with respect to LIBOR loans. There is no scheduled amortization under the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility. The principal amount of the revolving loans outstanding thereunder will be due and payable in full on July 25, 2021 (or July 25, 2020 if our obligations under our Senior Secured Term Loan Facility or any permitted refinancing thereof have not been repaid or the maturity date thereof has not been extended to October 25, 2021 or later). The Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by Holdings and each of our current and future direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (subsidiary guarantors) other than (a) unrestricted subsidiaries, (b) certain immaterial subsidiaries, (c) foreign subsidiaries and any domestic subsidiary of a foreign subsidiary, (d) certain holding companies of foreign subsidiaries, (e) captive insurance subsidiaries, not for profit subsidiaries, or a subsidiary which is a special purpose entity for securitization transactions or like special purposes and (f) any subsidiary that is prohibited by applicable law or contractual obligation from acting as a guarantor or which would require governmental approval to provide a guarantee. At October 27, 2018 , the assets of non-guarantor subsidiaries, primarily Nancy Holdings LLC, which holds legal title to certain real property used by us in conducting our operations, aggregated $89.7 million , or 1.2% of consolidated total assets. All obligations under the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured, subject to certain significant exceptions by substantially all of the assets of Holdings, the Company and the subsidiary guarantors. The Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility contains covenants limiting, among other things, dividends and other restricted payments, investments, loans, advances and acquisitions, and prepayments or redemptions of other indebtedness. These covenants permit such restricted actions in an unlimited amount, subject to the satisfaction of certain payment conditions, principally that we must have (x) pro forma excess availability under the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility for each day of the 30 -day period prior to such actions, which exceeds the greater of $90.0 million or 15% of the lesser of (a) the revolving commitments under the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility and (b) the borrowing base and (y) a pro forma fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0, unless pro forma excess availability for each day of the 30 -day period prior to such actions under the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility would exceed the greater of (1) $200.0 million and (2) 25% of the lesser of (i) the aggregate revolving commitments under the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility and (ii) the borrowing base. The Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility also contains customary affirmative covenants and events of default, including a cross-default provision in respect of any other indebtedness that has an aggregate principal amount exceeding $50.0 million . For a more detailed description of the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility, refer to Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 .

At October 27, 2018 , the outstanding balance under the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility was $2,802.9 million . The principal amount of the loans outstanding is due and payable in full on October 25, 2020. The Senior Secured Term Loan Facility permits us to increase the term loans or add a separate tranche of term loans by an amount not to exceed $650.0 million plus an unlimited amount that would result (a) in the case of any incremental term loan facility to be secured equally and ratably with the term loans, a senior secured first lien net leverage ratio equal to or less than 4.25 to 1.00, and (b) in the case of any incremental term loan facility to be secured on a junior basis to the term loans, to be subordinated in right of payment to the term loans or unsecured and pari passu in right of payment with the term loans, a total net leverage ratio equal to or less than the total net leverage ratio as of October 25, 2013. At October 27, 2018 , borrowings under the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility bore interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the prime rate of Credit Suisse AG (the administrative agent), (2) the federal funds effective rate plus ½ of 1.00% and (3) the adjusted one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% , or (b) an adjusted LIBOR (for a period equal to the relevant interest period, and in any event, never less than 1.00% ), subject to certain adjustments, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is up to 2.25% with respect to base rate borrowings and up to 3.25% with respect to LIBOR borrowings. The applicable margin is subject to adjustment based on our senior secured first lien net leverage ratio. The applicable margin with respect to outstanding LIBOR borrowings was 3.25% at October 27, 2018 . The interest rate on the outstanding borrowings pursuant to the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility was 5.53% at October 27, 2018 . Subject to certain exceptions and reinvestment rights, the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility requires that 100% of the net cash proceeds from certain asset sales and debt issuances and 50% (which percentage will be reduced to 25% if our senior secured first lien net leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility, is equal to or less than 4.0 to 1.0 but greater than 3.5 to 1.0 and will be reduced to 0% if our senior secured first lien net leverage ratio is equal to or less than 3.5 to 1.0) from excess cash flow, as defined in the credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility, for each of our fiscal years (commencing with the period ended July 26, 2015) must be used to prepay outstanding term loans under the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility at 100% of the principal amount to be prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest. We were not required to prepay any outstanding term loans pursuant to the annual excess cash flow requirements for fiscal year 2018. We may repay all or any portion of the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility at any time, subject to redeployment costs in the case of prepayment of LIBOR borrowings other than the last day of the relevant interest period. The Senior Secured Term Loan Facility amortizes in equal quarterly installments of $7.4 million , less certain voluntary and mandatory prepayments, with the remaining balance due at final maturity.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments Interest Rate Swaps. At October 27, 2018 , we had outstanding floating rate debt obligations of $3,168.9 million . In April and June of 2016, we entered into floating to fixed interest rate swap agreements for an aggregate notional amount of $1,400.0 million to limit our exposure to interest rate increases related to a portion of our floating rate indebtedness. These swap agreements hedge a portion of our contractual floating rate interest commitments related to our Senior Secured Term Loan Facility from December 2016 to October 2020. As a result of the April 2016 swap agreements, our effective interest rate as to $700.0 million of floating rate indebtedness will be fixed at 4.9120% from December 2016 through October 2020. As a result of the June 2016 swap agreements, our effective interest rate as to an additional $700.0 million of floating rate indebtedness will be fixed at 4.7395% from December 2016 to October 2020. The fair value of our interest rate swap agreements was a gain of $34.9 million at October 27, 2018 , $35.6 million at July 28, 2018 and $11.4 million at October 28, 2017 , which amounts were included in other long-term assets. The interest rate swap agreements expire in October 2020. We designated the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. As cash flow hedges, unrealized gains on our outstanding interest rate swaps are recognized as assets while unrealized losses are recognized as liabilities. Our interest rate swap agreements are highly, but not perfectly, correlated to the changes in interest rates to which we are exposed. As a result, unrealized gains and losses on our interest rate swap agreements are designated as effective or ineffective. The effective portion of such gains or losses will be recorded as a component of other comprehensive earnings (loss) while the ineffective portion of such gains or losses will be recorded as a component of interest expense. In addition, we realize a gain or loss on our interest rate swap agreements in connection with each required interest payment on our floating rate indebtedness. The realized gains or losses effectively adjust the contractual interest requirements pursuant to the terms of our floating rate indebtedness to the interest requirements at the fixed rates established in the interest rate swap agreements. These realized gains or losses are reclassified to interest expense from accumulated other comprehensive loss. A summary of the recorded amounts related to our interest rate swaps reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations is as follows: Thirteen weeks ended (in thousands) October 27, October 28, Realized hedging loss (gain) related to interest rate swaps – included in net interest expense $ (1,922 ) $ 1,239 The amount of net gains recorded in other comprehensive earnings at October 27, 2018 that is expected to be reclassified into net interest expense in the next 12 months, if interest rates remain unchanged, is approximately $14.8 million .

Income Taxes	Income Taxes Our effective income tax rates are as follows: Thirteen weeks ended October 27, October 28, Effective income tax rate 25.7 % 41.9 % Our effective income tax rate of 25.7% on the loss for the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 exceeded the federal statutory rate of 21% due primarily to state income taxes. Our effective income tax rate of 41.9% on the loss for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 exceeded the previous federal statutory rate of 35% due primarily to state and foreign income taxes. At October 27, 2018 , the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $1.3 million ( $1.0 million of which would impact our effective tax rate, if recognized). We classify interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense and our liability for accrued interest and penalties was $0.3 million at October 27, 2018 , $0.3 million at July 28, 2018 and $0.4 million at October 28, 2017 . We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") is conducting an audit of our short-year 2014 (subsequent to the Acquisition) and fiscal years 2015 through 2017 federal income tax returns. With respect to state, local and foreign jurisdictions, with limited exceptions, we are no longer subject to income tax audits for fiscal years before 2013. We believe our recorded tax liabilities as of October 27, 2018 are sufficient to cover any potential assessments made by the IRS or other taxing authorities and we will continue to review our recorded tax liabilities for potential audit assessments based upon subsequent events, new information and future circumstances. We believe it is reasonably possible that adjustments to the amounts of our unrecognized tax benefits could occur within the next 12 months as a result of settlements with tax authorities or expiration of statutes of limitations. At this time, we do not believe such adjustments will have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Subsequent to the Acquisition, Parent and its subsidiaries, including the Company, file U.S. federal income taxes as a consolidated group. The Company has elected to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and all operations of Parent are conducted through its subsidiaries, including the Company. Income taxes incurred by Parent with respect to the Company's operations are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company. The Company’s financial statements recognize the current and deferred income tax consequences that result from the Company’s activities during the current and preceding periods as if the Company were a separate taxpayer rather than a member of the Parent company’s consolidated income tax return group.

In addition, we sponsor a defined benefit pension plan ("Pension Plan") and an unfunded supplemental executive retirement plan ("SERP Plan") that provides certain employees additional pension benefits. As of the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, benefits offered to all participants in our Pension Plan and SERP Plan were frozen. Retirees and active employees hired prior to March 1, 1989 are eligible for certain limited postretirement health care benefits ("Postretirement Plan") if they meet certain service and minimum age requirements. We also sponsor an unfunded key employee deferred compensation plan, which provides certain employees with additional benefits. Our obligations for employee benefit plans, included in other long-term liabilities, are as follows: (in thousands) October 27, July 28, October 28, Pension Plan $ 213,950 $ 202,820 $ 236,229 SERP Plan 100,390 98,814 111,596 Postretirement Plan 2,933 2,935 6,537 317,273 304,569 354,362 Less: current portion (6,550 ) (6,441 ) (6,679 ) Long-term portion of benefit obligations $ 310,723 $ 298,128 $ 347,683 Funding Policy and Status. Our policy is to fund the Pension Plan at or above the minimum level required by law. As of October 27, 2018 , we believe we will be required to contribute $27.6 million to the Pension Plan in fiscal year 2019 , of which $5.2 million has been funded as of October 27, 2018 . In fiscal year 2018 , we were required to contribute $25.2 million to the Pension Plan. Cost of Benefits. The components of the expenses we incurred under our Pension Plan, SERP Plan and Postretirement Plan are as follows: Thirteen weeks ended (in thousands) October 27, October 28, Pension Plan: Interest cost $ 5,753 $ 4,973 Expected return on plan assets (5,488 ) (5,396 ) Net amortization of losses 199 170 Pension Plan expense (income) $ 464 $ (253 ) SERP Plan: Interest cost $ 940 $ 844 SERP Plan expense $ 940 $ 844 Postretirement Plan: Interest cost $ 25 $ 51 Net amortization of gains (556 ) (180 ) Postretirement Plan income $ (531 ) $ (129 ) Employee Vacation Benefit Liability. We enacted changes to our vacation policy effective in fiscal year 2019. Pursuant to the provisions of our new vacation policy, vacation hours earned during each fiscal year must be taken during that fiscal year. Any accrued but unused vacation is forfeited at the end of the fiscal year subject to statutory requirements in certain states precluding such forfeitures. In fiscal year 2018, we recorded a non-cash gain of $19.5 million , of which amount $1.2 million was recorded in the first quarter, within selling, general and administrative expenses, in connection with the reduction of our liability for unused vacation prior to the effective date of our new vacation policy.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Employment, Benefits, and Consumer Class Actions Litigation. In August 2015, the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") affirmed an administrative law judge's recommended decision and order finding that the Company's Arbitration Agreement and class action waiver violated the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA"). We filed our petition for review of the NLRB's order with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. This case has been stayed while another similar case has been pending before the U.S. Supreme Court, which was decided on May 21, 2018 and held that class action waivers in arbitration agreements are lawful under the NLRA and must be enforced under the Federal Arbitration Act. On June 1, 2018, the NLRB filed a motion to remove this case from abeyance, grant our petition for review regarding the class action waiver issue consistent with the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision, and remand the remainder of the case to the NLRB. On June 11, 2018, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit granted the NLRB’s motion, and the remanded portion of the case is pending before the NLRB. The Company has several wage and hour putative class action matters pending in California. The earliest, filed in December 2015 and amended in February 2016, was filed against The Neiman Marcus Group, Inc. by Holly Attia and seven other named plaintiffs, seeking to certify a class of non-exempt employees for alleged violations for failure to pay overtime wages, failure to provide meal and rest breaks, failure to reimburse business expenses, failure to timely pay wages due at termination and failure to provide accurate itemized wage statements. Plaintiffs also allege derivative claims for restitution under California unfair competition law and a representative claim for penalties under the California Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act ("PAGA"), and all related damages for alleged violations (restitution, statutory penalties under PAGA, and attorneys' fees, interest and costs of suit). The case was removed to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California in March 2016, and the Company filed a motion to compel arbitration and requested to stay the PAGA claim. In June 2016, the court granted the motion and compelled arbitration of the individual claims. The court retained jurisdiction of the PAGA claim and stayed that claim pending the outcome of arbitration. In October 2016, the court granted the plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration of the arbitration decision based on a recent decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in Morris v. Ernst & Young, LLP , and reversed its order compelling arbitration. The Company appealed. The parties reached an agreement in principle to settle this case, subject to court approval. The motion for preliminary approval of the settlement was filed with the court on July 24, 2018. On September 5, 2018, the district court preliminarily approved the settlement, and the final approval hearing is scheduled for February 25, 2019. The associated appeal has been administratively closed due to the pending settlement of the underlying action. A PAGA representative action filed by Xuan Hien Nguyen asserting the same factual allegations as the plaintiff in Attia will be resolved in connection with the Attia settlement, as Nguyen and her claims have been amended into Attia . A PAGA representative action filed by Milca Connolly asserting substantially identical claims and a putative class and representative action filed by Ondrea Roces and Sophia Ahmed seeking to certify a class of current and former sales associates for alleged failure to pay wages for all hours worked, recordkeeping and wage statement violations, and failure to timely pay wages due at termination have been stayed pending the settlement approval process in Attia . On October 24, 2017, a putative class action complaint was filed against The Neiman Marcus Group LLC and the Company’s Health and Welfare Benefit Plan in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington by a plan beneficiary alleging violations of the Federal Mental Health Parity Act and the Affordable Care Act through the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") in connection with the alleged failure to cover particular treatments for developmental health conditions. The parties have agreed to a settlement with the named plaintiffs, in which they have agreed not to pursue their class claims. On November 6, 2018, the court dismissed the named plaintiffs' claims with prejudice and the claims of the putative class members without prejudice. On October 27, 2017, a putative class action complaint was filed against Neiman Marcus Group, Inc., The Neiman Marcus Group LLC, and Bergdorf Goodman, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York by Victor Lopez, an allegedly visually-impaired and legally blind individual, in connection with his visits to Bergdorf Goodman, Inc.’s website. Mr. Lopez alleges, on behalf of himself and those similarly situated, that Bergdorf Goodman, Inc.’s website is not fully and equally accessible to legally blind individuals, resulting in denial of access to the equal enjoyment of goods and services, in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the New York State and City Human Rights Laws. The defendant Companies have filed a joint answer denying the claims. On August 7, 2014, a putative class action complaint was filed against The Neiman Marcus Group LLC in Los Angeles County Superior Court by a customer, Linda Rubenstein, in connection with the Company's Last Call stores in California. Ms. Rubenstein alleges that the Company has violated various California consumer protection statutes by implementing a marketing and pricing strategy that suggests that clothing sold at Last Call stores in California was originally offered for sale at full-line Neiman Marcus stores when allegedly, it was not, and that the Company lacks adequate information to support its comparative pricing labels. In September 2014, we removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. After dismissing Ms. Rubenstein’s original and first amended complaint, the court dismissed her second amended complaint in its entirety in May 2015, without leave to amend, and Ms. Rubenstein appealed. In April 2017, the Court of Appeal reversed, holding that Ms. Rubenstein’s allegations were sufficient to proceed past the pleadings stage of litigation. The case was transferred back to the district court. On September 7, 2017, the district court issued an order permitting Ms. Rubenstein to file a proposed Third Amended Complaint, which modifies the putative class period. Additionally, Ms. Rubenstein filed a motion for class certification, which was fully briefed by both parties. The parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the case, subject to court approval. A notice of settlement was filed, and the hearing on Ms. Rubenstein’s motion for class certification was vacated. On October 1, 2018, the court granted final approval of the settlement and entered judgment accordingly. The deadline to appeal the judgment expired with no appeals, and thus the settlement is final. As of October 27, 2018 , our recorded reserve related to this matter represents the remaining settlement liability paid in November 2018. In addition, we are currently involved in various other legal actions and proceedings that arose in the ordinary course of business. With respect to the matters described above as well as all other current outstanding litigation involving us, we believe that any liability arising as a result of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Cyber-Attack Class Actions Litigation. In January 2014, three class actions relating to a cyber-attack on our computer systems in 2013 (the "Cyber-Attack") were filed and later voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiffs between February and April 2014. The plaintiffs had alleged negligence and other claims in connection with their purchases by payment cards and sought monetary and injunctive relief. Three additional putative class actions relating to the Cyber-Attack were filed in March and April 2014, also alleging negligence and other claims in connection with plaintiffs’ purchases by payment cards. Two of the cases were voluntarily dismissed. The third case, Hilary Remijas v. The Neiman Marcus Group, LLC, was filed on March 12, 2014 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. On June 2, 2014, an amended complaint in the Remijas case was filed, which added three plaintiffs (Debbie Farnoush and Joanne Kao, California residents; and Melissa Frank, a New York resident) and asserted claims for negligence, implied contract, unjust enrichment, violation of various consumer protection statutes, invasion of privacy and violation of state data breach laws. The Company moved to dismiss the Remijas amended complaint, and the court granted the Company's motion on the grounds that the plaintiffs lacked standing due to their failure to demonstrate an actionable injury. Plaintiffs appealed the district court's order dismissing the case to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, and the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the district court's ruling, remanding the case back to the district court. The Company filed a petition for rehearing en banc, which the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals denied. The Company filed a motion for dismissal on other grounds, which the court denied. The parties jointly requested, and the court granted, an extension of time for filing a responsive pleading, which was due on December 28, 2016. On February 9, 2017, the court denied the parties' request for another extension of time, dismissed the case without prejudice, and stated that plaintiffs could file a motion to reinstate. On March 8, 2017, plaintiffs filed a motion to reinstate, which the court granted on March 16, 2017. On March 17, 2017, plaintiffs filed a motion seeking preliminary approval of a class action settlement resolving this action, which the court granted on June 21, 2017. On August 21, 2017, plaintiffs moved for final approval of the proposed settlement. In September 2017, purported settlement class members filed two objections to the settlement, and plaintiffs and the Company filed responses to the objections on October 19, 2017. At the fairness hearing on October 26, 2017, the Court ordered supplemental briefing on the objections. Objectors filed a supplemental brief in support of their objections on November 9, 2017, and plaintiffs and the Company filed their supplemental responses to the objections on November 21, 2017. On January 16, 2018, an order was issued by the District Court reassigning the case to Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman due to the prior judge’s retirement. On September 17, 2018, Judge Coleman denied final approval of the proposed settlement and decertified the settlement class. Judge Coleman has set a status conference for this matter for December 10, 2018. At this point, we are unable to predict the developments in, outcome of or other consequences related to this matter. In addition to class actions litigation, payment card companies and associations may require us to reimburse them for unauthorized card charges and costs to replace cards and may also impose fines or penalties in connection with the security incident, and enforcement authorities may also impose fines or seek other remedies against us. We have also incurred other costs associated with this security incident, including legal fees, investigative fees, costs of communications with customers and credit monitoring services provided to our customers. We expect to continue to incur costs associated with maintaining appropriate security measures and otherwise complying with our obligations. We will continue to evaluate these matters based on subsequent events, new information and future circumstances. Other. We had $1.3 million of irrevocable letters of credit and $3.5 million in surety bonds outstanding at October 27, 2018 , relating primarily to merchandise imports and state sales tax and utility requirements.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Stock-Based Awards	Stock-Based Awards Incentive Plans. Parent established various incentive plans pursuant to which eligible employees, consultants and non-employee directors are eligible to receive stock-based awards. Under the incentive plans, Parent is authorized to grant stock options, restricted stock and other types of awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are payable or otherwise based on, the shares of common stock of Parent. Charges with respect to options issued by Parent pursuant to the incentive plans are reflected by the Company in the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Co-Invest Options. In connection with the Acquisition, certain executive officers of the Company rolled over a portion of the amounts otherwise payable in settlement of their pre-Acquisition stock options into stock options of Parent representing options to purchase a total of 56,979 shares of common stock of Parent (the "Co-Invest Options"). Non-Qualified Stock Options. Pursuant to the terms of the incentive plans, Parent granted time-vested and performance-vested non-qualified stock options to certain executive officers, employees and non-employee directors of the Company. These non-qualified stock options will expire no later than the ten th anniversary of the grant date. Accounting for Stock Options. We currently account for stock options issued to certain optionees who will become retirement eligible prior to the expiration of their stock options and certain options held by our former Chief Executive Officer ("Eligible Optionees") as variable awards using the liability method as these optionees could receive a cash settlement of their awards should Parent exercise its repurchase rights with respect to such shares. Under the liability method, we recognize the estimated liability for option awards held by Eligible Optionees over the vesting periods of such awards. In periods in which the estimated fair value of our equity increases, we increase our stock compensation liability. Conversely, in periods in which the estimated fair value of our equity decreases, we reduce our stock compensation liability. These increases/decreases are recorded as stock compensation expense and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. With respect to time-vested options held by non-Eligible Optionees, such options are effectively forfeited should the optionee voluntarily leave the Company without good reason or be terminated for cause prior to an IPO. As a result, we currently record no expense or liability with respect to such options. With respect to performance-vested options, such options are effectively forfeited should the optionee voluntarily leave the Company without good reason or be terminated for cause prior to achievement of the performance condition. As a result, we currently record no expense or liability with respect to such options. At October 27, 2018 , an aggregate of 48,788 Co-Invest Options and time-vested options were held by Eligible Optionees. The recorded liability with respect to such options was $7.5 million at October 27, 2018 , $7.8 million at July 28, 2018 and $3.7 million at October 28, 2017 . The following table sets forth certain summary information with respect to our stock options for the periods indicated: Thirteen weeks ended October 27, 2018 (in actuals) Shares Weighted Outstanding at July 28, 2018 183,506 $ 597 Granted 12,511 744 Forfeited (3,511 ) 813 Expired (5,160 ) 450 Outstanding at October 27, 2018 187,346 $ 607 Restricted Stock. At October 27, 2018 , 21,486 shares of unvested restricted common stock were outstanding. The recorded liability with respect to such shares was $1.0 million at October 27, 2018 , $1.0 million at July 28, 2018 and $1.5 million at October 28, 2017 . Thirteen weeks ended October 27, 2018 (in actuals) Unvested Shares Weighted Grant Date Fair Value Outstanding at July 28, 2018 19,823 $ 482 Granted 2,359 348 Forfeited (696 ) 768 Outstanding at October 27, 2018 21,486 $ 458 Stock Compensation Expense.

The New Co-Invest Options have the effect of replacing the previous Co-Invest Options held by those employees, which were cancelled, and extending the expiration date to the ten th anniversary of the grant date. All other terms of the New Co-Invest Options remain unchanged from the terms of the cancelled Co-Invest Options. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, we recorded non-cash stock compensation expense aggregating $4.2 million related to the cancellation and replacement of the previous Co-Invest Options with the New Co-Invest Options. In January 2018, the Compensation Committee determined that the exercise prices of certain time-vested stock options were higher than the current fair market value of Parent's common stock. In order to enhance the retentive value of these options, the Compensation Committee approved a repricing of 43,261 time-vested stock options to an exercise price of $500 per share. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, we recorded non-cash stock compensation expense aggregating $0.5 million related to the repricing of the time-vested stock options. For a more detailed description of our stock-based awards, refer to Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 .

The difference in net earnings (loss) of the unrestricted subsidiaries for the thirteen weeks ended October 27, 2018 compared to the net earnings (loss) of the non-guarantor subsidiaries for such period, as presented in the tables above in this Note 14 , consisted primarily of a net interest income of approximately $2.1 million associated with an intercompany note payable by the MyTheresa unrestricted subsidiaries and, prior to the Distribution, held by NMG International LLC, which is a non-guarantor restricted subsidiary. This information may not necessarily be indicative of the financial condition and results of operations of the unrestricted subsidiaries had they operated as independent entities during the periods presented.

The difference in net earnings (loss) of the unrestricted subsidiaries for the thirteen weeks ended October 27, 2018 compared to the net earnings (loss) of the non-guarantor subsidiaries for such period, as presented in the tables above in this Note 14 , consisted primarily of a net interest income of approximately $2.1 million associated with an intercompany note payable by the MyTheresa unrestricted subsidiaries and, prior to the Distribution, held by NMG International LLC, which is a non-guarantor restricted subsidiary. This information may not necessarily be indicative of the financial condition and results of operations of the unrestricted subsidiaries had they operated as independent entities during the periods presented.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Consolidation	The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements set forth financial information of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Fiscal Period	Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to July 31. Like many other retailers, we follow a 4-5-4 reporting calendar, which means that each fiscal quarter consists of thirteen weeks divided into periods of four weeks, five weeks and four weeks. All references to (i) the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 relate to the thirteen weeks ended October 27, 2018 and (ii) the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 relate to the thirteen weeks ended October 28, 2017 .
Basis of Presentation	We have prepared the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 28, 2018 . In our opinion, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the applicable interim periods.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates. We are required to make estimates and assumptions about future events in preparing our financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of gain and loss contingencies at the date of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. While we believe that our past estimates and assumptions have been materially accurate, the amounts currently estimated are subject to change if different assumptions as to the outcome of future events were made. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and predicate those estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. We make adjustments to our estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Since future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty, actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We believe the following critical accounting policies, among others, encompass the more significant estimates, assumptions and judgments used in the preparation of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements: • recognition of revenues; • valuation of merchandise inventories, including determination of original retail values, recognition of markdowns and vendor allowances, estimation of inventory shrinkage and determination of cost of goods sold; • determination of impairment of intangible and long-lived assets; • measurement of liabilities related to our loyalty program; • recognition of income taxes; and • measurement of accruals for general liability, workers’ compensation and health insurance claims and pension and postretirement health care benefits.
Segments	Segments. We conduct our specialty retail store and online operations on an omni-channel basis. As our store and online operations have similar economic characteristics, products, services and customers, our operations constitute a single omni-channel reportable segment.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , to clarify the principles for revenue recognition. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenues arising from contracts with customers and supersedes previous revenue recognition guidance. We adopted the revenue recognition requirements of this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 using the modified retrospective adoption method and applied the ASU only to contracts not completed as of July 29, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, but impacted the presentation of certain revenue transactions. These changes include (i) the gross balance sheet presentation of estimates for sales returns and related recoverable inventories and (ii) the inclusion of income from our credit card program within revenues. Prior to the adoption of this guidance, our estimates of recoverable inventories were netted with our reserves for estimated sales returns. In addition, the adoption of this guidance accelerated the recognition of (i) online sales to the time of shipment versus delivery to coincide with the point in time when control has transferred to the customer and (ii) direct response advertising costs as incurred. Upon adoption, we recorded a net cumulative effect adjustment to reduce beginning accumulated deficit of $7.1 million . In addition, we have determined that our previous income statement classification of certain reserves for sales returns and promotional programs resulted in the overstatement of previously reported revenues and cost of goods sold by $24.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. We evaluated the effects of these overstatements on prior periods' consolidated financial statements, individually and in the aggregate, and concluded that no prior period is materially misstated. However, we have revised our consolidated financial statements for the periods presented herein. The corrections had no impact on net earnings (loss). We recognize revenues at the point-of-sale or upon shipment of goods to the customer. Shipping and handling costs are expensed as a fulfillment activity at shipping point. Revenues are reduced when our customers return goods previously purchased. We maintain reserves for anticipated sales returns based primarily on our historical trends and our expectations of future returns. Revenues exclude sales taxes collected from our customers.
Other Newly Adopted And Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Other Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost , which requires employers to disaggregate and present the service cost component in the same line of the income statement as other compensation costs and present the other components of net benefit costs, primarily interest costs and investment earnings, separately from the service cost component, outside a subtotal of operating earnings. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 using the retrospective adoption method and reclassified other components of net benefit costs from selling, general and administrative expenses to benefit plan expense, net. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income , which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings for certain stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Reform"), which was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The new guidance may be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the Tax Reform is recognized. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and reclassified $7.6 million of stranded tax benefits from accumulated other comprehensive loss to reduce accumulated deficit. Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , that requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. Previous GAAP did not require lease assets and liabilities to be recognized for operating leases. Additionally, companies are permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. For both finance leases and operating leases, the lease liability should be initially measured at the present value of the remaining contractual lease payments. In July 2018, the FASB amended the new leases standard to provide entities with an additional and optional transition method and to provide entities with a practical expedient, whereby entities may elect not to separate lease and non-lease components when certain conditions are met. We do not expect the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from our operating leases to significantly change under this new guidance. However, we expect this adoption to lead to a material increase in the assets and liabilities recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We are still evaluating the impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. This new guidance is effective for us as of the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities , to simplify how hedge accounting arrangements are accounted for and presented in the financial statements, including the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Under the new standard, all changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges included in the assessment of effectiveness will be recorded in other comprehensive earnings (loss) and reclassified to earnings in the same income statement line item when the hedged item affects earnings. This new guidance is effective for us as of the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07— Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , to align accounting for non-employee share-based payment transactions with the guidance for share-based payments to employees. Under the new standard, the measurement of equity-classified non-employee awards will be fixed at the grant date. This new guidance is effective for us as of the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Fair Value Measurements	Certain of our assets and liabilities are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. Assets and liabilities are classified using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows: • Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. • Level 2 — Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs corroborated by market data. • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s estimates and assumptions. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is estimated using industry standard valuation models using market-based observable inputs, including interest rate curves. Because Parent is privately held and there is no public market for its common stock, the fair market value of Parent's common stock is determined by the Board of Directors of Parent (the "Parent Board") or the Compensation Committee, as applicable. In determining the fair market value of Parent's common stock, the Parent Board or the Compensation Committee, as applicable, considers such factors as any recent transactions involving Parent's common stock, the Company’s actual and projected financial results, the principal amount of the Company’s indebtedness, valuations of the Company performed by third parties and other factors it believes are material to the valuation process. Significant inputs to the common stock valuation model are updated as applicable and the carrying value of the obligation is adjusted to its estimated fair value at each reporting date.
Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets and Goodwill	Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets and Goodwill. Indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as our Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman tradenames and goodwill, are not subject to amortization. Rather, we assess the recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and upon the occurrence of certain events. These impairment assessments are performed for each of our two reporting units — Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman.
