Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Business Francesca’s Holdings Corporation is a holding company incorporated in 2007 Delaware 744 47 The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and are in the form prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, changes in equity, and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. The financial information as of February 3, 2018 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2018. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Due to seasonal variations in the Company’s business, interim results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for a full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company maintains its accounts on a 52- or 53-week year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31st. Fiscal year 2018 includes 52 weeks of operations while fiscal year 2017 includes 53 weeks of operations. The fiscal quarters ended May 5, 2018 and April 29, 2017 refer to the thirteen week periods ended as of those dates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, net of estimated sales returns, and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” on February 4, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. Prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition.” As a result of adoption of ASC 606, the Company recorded an adjustment of $2.0 million, net of $ 0.7 Disaggregated revenue Thirteen Weeks Ended May 5, 2018 April 29, 2017 (in thousands) Apparel $ 49,534 $ 60,012 Jewelry 23,858 23,771 Accessories 15,484 13,981 Gifts 11,105 11,115 99,981 108,879 Others (1) 424 (1,190) $ 100,405 $ 107,689 (1) Includes gift card breakage income, shipping revenue and change in return reserve. Contract liability Contract liability consists of gift card liability. The Company accounts for the sale of gift cards as a liability at the time a gift card is sold. The liability is relieved and revenue is recognized upon redemption of the gift card. The Company’s gift cards do not have an expiration date. Income from gift card breakage is estimated based on historical redemption patterns and recognized over the historical redemption period. Unredeemed gift cards at the end of the prior fiscal year recognized in revenues during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2018 and April 29, 2017 totaled $ 1.7 2.0 0.2 0.1 Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014 the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This pronouncement requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services. This standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that fiscal year, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016. Since the original issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB has issued several amendments and updates to this guidance. This guidance may be adopted on a full retrospective basis to each prior reporting period presented or on a modified retrospective basis with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application. Revenue Recognition Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” The new guidance, among other things, requires lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all public business entities upon issuance. The guidance is required to be adopted using the modified retrospective approach. The Company has selected its leasing software solution and is in the process of identifying changes to its business processes, systems and controls to support the adoption in fiscal year 2019. While the Company is still evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements, it expects that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its results of operations; however, it will result in a significant increase in total assets and total liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet given that the Company has a significant number of leases. |
