Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 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. Prior period amounts related to impairment charges in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. 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 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. Short-Term Investments Short-term investments consist of a certificate of deposit with an original maturity of one year and a one-time option to accelerate maturity to 31 days without penalty. Interest income from the investment is included in interest expense, net, in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company’s objective with respect to this investment is to earn a higher rate of return, relative to deposit accounts, on funds that are otherwise not anticipated to be required to meet liquidity needs in the near term while maintaining a low level of investment risk. The Company has the intent and ability to hold this investment to maturity. As of January 28, 2017 , the Company held $30.2 million in short-term investments, which included $0.2 million in interest income recognized in interest expense, net in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company did not have short-term investments as of January 30, 2016 . 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 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 ........................ 3 – 10 years Equipment ......................................................................................... 7 years Vehicles ............................................................................................. 5 years Computer equipment and software ................................................... 3 – 5 years Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the asset or the lease term. Lease terms typically range from three 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 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 reasonably estimate the amount of product sales that customers will return. Product returns are often resalable through the Company’s annual outlet sale or other channels. 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 Beginning of Year Provision Charged to Net Revenues Allowances Taken Balance at End of Year Fiscal year ended January 28, 2017 $ 2,317 $ 32,905 $ (29,862 ) $ 5,360 Fiscal year ended January 30, 2016 2,173 25,707 (25,563 ) 2,317 Fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 1,424 30,140 (29,391 ) 2,173 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 $0.6 million and $0.5 million as of January 28, 2017 , and January 30, 2016 , 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. In addition, the Company recognizes revenue on unredeemed gift cards when the likelihood of the gift card being redeemed is remote and there is no legal obligation to remit the value of unredeemed gift cards to the relevant jurisdictions. The Company determines the gift card breakage rate based on historical redemption patterns. During the fiscal years ended January 28, 2017 , January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015 , the Company recorded $0.3 million , $0.3 million and $1.4 million of revenue related to gift card breakage, respectively. Gift card breakage is included in net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income, as well as Direct segment 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 purchase and distribute the products are recorded as cost of sales when the related revenues are recognized. 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 deferred rent liability. As of January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016 , deferred rent liability was $12.7 million and $11.5 million , respectively, and is included within long-term 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. As of January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016 , the deferred lease credit liability was $15.8 million and $16.2 million , respectively. Of this, $2.4 million and $2.3 million is included within other accrued liabilities and $13.4 million and $13.9 million is included within long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016 , respectively. 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 The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair-value recognition provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 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 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): Fiscal year ended January 28, 2017 $ 32,222 Fiscal year ended January 30, 2016 33,392 Fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 28,936 Total recovery from Indirect retailers was as follows (in thousands): Fiscal year ended January 28, 2017 $ 1,000 Fiscal year ended January 30, 2016 2,180 Fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 3,509 Debt-Issuance Costs During the fiscal year ended January 30, 2016, in connection with the second amendment and restatement of the credit agreement (see Note 5), the Company incurred additional debt-issuance costs of $0.5 million . The Company is amortizing the remaining debt-issuance costs to interest expense over the five -year term of the second amended and restated credit agreement. Debt-issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization, totaled $0.6 million at January 28, 2017 , and $0.8 million at January 30, 2016 , and are included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization expense of $0.2 million is included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income for each of the fiscal years ended January 28, 2017 , January 30, 2016 , and January 31, 2015 . 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, accounts receivable, other current assets, and accounts payable as of January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016 , approximated their fair values. Short-term investments consist of a certificate of deposit with an original maturity of one year and a one-time option to accelerate maturity to 31 days without penalty. The initial investment was $30.0 million , and the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the certificate of deposit to maturity. The accrued interest on the certificate of deposit is recognized in interest expense, net, in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Due to the observable inputs, the certificate of deposit approximated its fair value as of January 28, 2017 , and is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company has certain assets that are measured under circumstances and events described in Note 4. The categorization of the framework to price these assets are level 3 due to subjective nature of unobservable inputs. Income Taxes The Company accrues income taxes payable or refundable and recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the book 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. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . The updated guidance changes how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payment awards to employees, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as the classification of related matters in the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted this standard beginning with the quarter ended April 30, 2016. The impact of the adoption of this standard was as follows: • excess tax benefits were combined with other income tax cash flows within operating cash flows adopted on a prospective basis; • excess tax benefits were recorded to income tax expense as a discrete item adopted on a prospective basis; and • cash paid by the Company when directly withholding shares to satisfy an employee's statutory tax obligations continued to be classified as a financing activity. • The Company has elected to continue its current policy of estimating forfeitures rather than recognizing forfeitures when they occur. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . This guidance requires companies to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also will result in enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The standard allows for either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective transition method. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, which for the Company is fiscal 2019. Earlier application is permitted as of the original effective date, annual reporting periods beginning after December 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. In its preliminary assessment, the provisions of the standard the Company believes to be most significant is the determination of when a customer receives control of the product upon a sale, as this could result in earlier recognition of revenue as compared to the Company's current practice of adjusting for shipments not yet received. The Company is still evaluating the final impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows, as well as additional provisions that may impact the Company's recognition of revenue. The Company will adopt the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and is continuing to evaluate the transition method upon adoption. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory , which requires entities to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016 which for the Company is fiscal 2018. The application of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which increases transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by leases and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018. The Company has operating leases at all of its retail stores; therefore, the adoption of this standard will result a material increase of assets and liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company is continuing evaluate the impact on its consolidated results of operations and cash flows. |
