Use of Significant Estimates | ' |
Use of Significant Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the Company’s assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as the disclosures relating to contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include the valuation of inventories, accounts receivable valuation allowances, sales return allowances, and the useful lives of assets for depreciation or amortization. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company revises its estimates and assumptions as new information becomes available. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ' |
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand, deposits with financial institutions, and investments with an original maturity of three months or less. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | ' |
Concentration of Credit Risk |
The Company maintains nearly all of its cash and cash equivalents with one financial institution. The Company monitors the credit standing of this financial institution on a regular basis. |
Inventories | ' |
Inventories |
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Market is determined based on net realizable value, which includes costs to dispose. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excess quantities, and other factors, including the popularity of a pattern or product, in evaluating net realizable value. |
Property, Plant, and Equipment | ' |
Property, Plant, and Equipment |
Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost and depreciated or amortized over the following estimated useful lives using the straight-line method: |
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Buildings and building improvements .............................................. | 39.5 years | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Land improvements ........................................................................... | 5 – 15 years | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements ........................ | 5 – 10 years | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Computer equipment and software ................................................... | 3 – 5 years | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Production equipment ....................................................................... | 7 years | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Vehicles ............................................................................................. | 5 years | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the asset or the lease term. Lease terms typically range from five to ten years. |
When a decision is made to abandon property, plant, and equipment prior to the end of the previously estimated useful life, depreciation or amortization estimates are revised to reflect the use of the asset over the shortened estimated useful life. At the time of disposal, the cost of assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting loss is included in the Consolidated Statements of Income. |
|
Property, plant, and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The reviews are conducted at the lowest identifiable level of cash flows. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows related to the property, plant, and equipment are less than the carrying value, the Company recognizes a loss equal to the difference between the carrying value and the fair value, as further defined below in “Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” |
Routine maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. |
The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in connection with acquiring, modifying, and installing internal-use software. Capitalized costs are included in property, plant, and equipment and are amortized over three to five years. Software costs that do not meet capitalization criteria are expensed as incurred. |
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable | ' |
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable |
Revenue from the sale of the Company’s products is recognized upon customer receipt of the product when collection of the associated receivables is reasonably assured, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed and determinable, and ownership and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer, which, for e-commerce and most Indirect sales, reflects an adjustment for shipments that customers have not yet received. The adjustment of these shipments is based on actual delivery dates to the customer. |
Included in net revenues are product sales to Direct and Indirect customers, including amounts billed to customers for shipping fees. Costs related to shipping of product are classified in cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Net revenues exclude sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities. |
Historical experience provides the Company the ability to estimate reasonably the amount of product sales that customers will return. Product returns are often resalable through the Company’s annual outlet sale or other channels. The Company accounts for anticipated returns by reducing net revenues, cost of sales, and accounts receivable and increasing inventories, essentially reversing the effects of the original sales transactions. Additionally, the Company reserves for other potential product credits granted to Indirect retailers. The returns and credits reserve and the related activity for each fiscal year presented were as follows (in thousands): |
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Balance at | | Provision | | Allowances | | Balance at End |
Beginning of Year | Charged to | Taken | of Year |
| Net Revenues | | |
Fiscal year ended February 1, 2014 | | $ | 2,145 | | | $ | 30,335 | | | $ | (31,056 | ) | | $ | 1,424 | |
|
Fiscal year ended February 2, 2013 | | 1,807 | | | 28,656 | | | (28,318 | ) | | 2,145 | |
|
Fiscal year ended January 28, 2012 | | 1,265 | | | 20,804 | | | (20,262 | ) | | 1,807 | |
|
The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and customer-specific identification and believes that collections of receivables, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, are reasonably assured. The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $0.3 million and $0.7 million at February 1, 2014, and February 2, 2013, respectively. |
The Company sells gift cards with no expiration dates to customers and does not charge administrative fees on unused gift cards. Gift cards issued by the Company are recorded as a liability until they are redeemed, at which point revenue is recognized. The Company currently does not recognize breakage on its gift cards. |
Cost of Sales | ' |
Cost of Sales |
Cost of sales includes material and labor costs, freight, inventory shrinkage, operating lease costs, duty, and other operating expenses, including depreciation of the Company’s distribution center and equipment. Costs and related expenses to manufacture and distribute the products are recorded as cost of sales when the related revenues are recognized. |
Operating Leases and Tenant-Improvement Allowances | ' |
Operating Leases and Tenant-Improvement Allowances |
The Company has leases that contain rent holidays and predetermined, fixed escalations of minimum rentals. For each of these leases, the Company recognizes the related rent expense on a straight-line basis commencing on the date of initial possession of the leased property. The Company records the difference between the recognized rent expense and the amount payable under the lease as a step-up rent liability. As of February 1, 2014 and February 2, 2013, step-up rent liability was $7.0 million and $5.5 million, respectively and is included within other accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. |
The Company receives tenant-improvement allowances from some of the landlords of its leased properties. These allowances generally are in the form of cash received by the Company from its landlords as part of the negotiated lease terms. The Company records each tenant-improvement allowance as a deferred credit and amortizes the allowance on a straight-line basis as a reduction to rent expense over the term of the lease, commencing on the possession date. |
Store Pre-Opening, Occupancy, and Operating Costs | ' |
Store Pre-Opening, Occupancy, and Operating Costs |
The Company charges costs associated with the opening of new stores to selling, general, and administrative expenses as incurred. Selling, general, and administrative expenses also include store operating costs, store employee compensation, and store occupancy and supply costs. |
Stock-Based Compensation | ' |
Stock-Based Compensation |
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair-value recognition provisions of ASC 718, Stock Compensation. Under these provisions, for its awards of restricted stock and restricted-stock units, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock on the grant date of the respective award. The Company recognizes this expense, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. |
Other Income and Advertising Costs | ' |
Other Income and Advertising Costs |
The Company expenses advertising costs at the time the promotion first appears in media, in stores, or on the website, and includes those costs in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company classifies the related recovery of a portion of such costs from Indirect retailers as other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. |
Total advertising expense was as follows (in thousands): |

Debt-Issuance Costs | ' |
Debt-Issuance Costs |
During the fiscal year ended January 29, 2011, in connection with the amendment and restatement of the credit agreement (see Note 5), the Company incurred debt-issuance costs of $1.1 million and wrote off, to interest expense, $0.2 million of unamortized debt-issuance costs relating to certain portions of the original credit agreement. The Company is amortizing the remaining debt-issuance costs to interest expense over the five-year term of the amended and restated credit agreement. Debt-issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization, totaled $0.7 million at February 1, 2014, and $0.9 million at February 2, 2013, and are included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization expense of $0.2 million, $0.2 million, and $0.3 million is included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the fiscal years ended February 1, 2014, February 2, 2013, and January 28, 2012, respectively. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ' |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date: |
•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities |
•Level 2 – Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly |
•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions |
The classification of fair value measurements within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement. |
The carrying amounts reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents, receivables, other current assets, and payables as of February 1, 2014, and February 2, 2013, approximated their fair values. |
The carrying amount for the amended and restated credit agreement (“credit agreement”) approximates fair value at February 1, 2014, and February 2, 2013, as the interest rates of these borrowings fluctuate with the market. The credit agreement falls within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. |
Income Taxes | ' |
Income Taxes |
The Company accrues income taxes payable or refundable and recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the GAAP and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse, and recognizes the effect of a change in enacted rates in the period of enactment. |
The Company establishes liabilities for uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns, using a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. The Company includes in income tax expense any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. |
