Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all short-term investments with an initial maturity of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Marketable Securities Marketable debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity and are carried at fair value and amortized cost plus accrued income, respectively. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of income taxes, on available-for-sale debt securities are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized. For the purposes of computing realized and unrealized gains and losses, cost is determined on a specific identification basis. We classify all marketable securities within current assets on our accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, including those with maturity dates beyond twelve months, as they are available to support our current operational liquidity needs. Merchandise Inventories Merchandise inventories are comprised of finished goods offered for sale at our retail stores and online. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the retail inventory method. An initial markup is applied to inventory at cost in order to establish a cost-to-retail ratio. We believe that the retail inventory method approximates cost. Shipping and handling costs for merchandise shipped to customers of $20.6 million, $12.1 million and $10.8 million in fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, are included in cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. We review our inventory levels to identify slow-moving merchandise and generally use markdowns to clear this merchandise. At any given time, merchandise inventories include items that have been marked down to management’s best estimate of their fair market value at retail price, with a proportionate write-down to the cost of the inventory. Our management bases the decision to mark down merchandise primarily upon its current sell-through rate and the age of the item, among other factors. These markdowns may have an adverse impact on earnings, depending on the extent and amount of inventory affected. Markdowns are recorded as an increase to cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Total markdowns, including permanent and promotional markdowns, on a cost basis were $46.5 million, $53.3 million, and $49.5 million in fiscal year 2020, 2019, and 2018 respectively. In addition, we accrued $1.1 million and $1.1 million for planned but unexpected markdowns, including markdowns related to slow moving merchandise, as of January 30, 2021 and February 1, 2020, respectively. Property and Equipment, net Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Equipment is depreciated over five Repairs and maintenance costs are charged directly to expense as incurred. Major renewals, replacements and improvements that substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Impairments are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Important factors that could result in an impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant under-performance relative to historical or planned operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the assets or significant changes in business strategies. An evaluation is performed using estimated undiscounted future cash flows from operating activities compared to the carrying value of related assets for the individual stores. If the undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the assets based on the discounted cash flows of the assets using a rate that approximates the weighted average cost of capital. With regard to retail store assets, which are comprised of leasehold improvements, fixtures and computer hardware and software, we consider the assets at each individual retail store to represent an asset group. In addition, we have considered the relevant valuation techniques that could be applied without undue cost and effort and have determined that the discounted estimated future cash flow approach provides the most relevant and reliable means by which to determine fair value in this circumstance. Refer to "Note 11: Fair Value Measurements", for further information. Operating Leases We conduct all of our retail sales and corporate operations in leased facilities. Lease terms for our stores are generally ten years in duration (subject to extensions) and provide for escalations in base rents periodically. Many of our store leases contain one or more options to renew the lease at our sole discretion. Generally, we do not consider any additional renewal periods to be reasonably certain of being exercised. Most store leases include tenant allowances from landlords, rent escalation clauses and/or contingent rent provisions. Certain leases provide for additional rent based on a percentage of sales and annual rent increases generally based upon the Consumer Price Index. In addition, many of the store leases contain certain co-tenancy provisions that permit us to pay rent based on a pre-determined percentage of sales when the occupancy of the retail center falls below minimums established in the lease. For non-cancelable operating lease agreements, operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are established for leases with an expected term greater than one year and we recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, excluding contingent rent, and record the difference between the amount charged to expense and the rent paid as a deferred rent liability. Contingent rent, determined based on a percentage of sales in excess of specified levels, is recognized as rent expense when the achievement of the specified sales that triggers the contingent rent is probable. The tenant allowances are amortized as a reduction to rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease starting at the date of possession. Refer to "Note 9: Leases" for further information. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized for store sales when the customer receives and pays for the merchandise at the register, net of estimated returns and taxes collected from our customers. For e-commerce sales, we recognize revenue, net of sales taxes and estimated sales returns, and the related cost of goods sold at the time the merchandise is shipped to the customer. Amounts related to shipping and handling that are billed to customers are reflected in net sales, and the related costs are reflected in cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018, shipping and handling fee revenue included in net sales was $5.4 million, $2.9 million, and $2.7 million, respectively. We accrue for estimated sales returns by customers based on historical sales return results. As of January 30, 2021 and February 1, 2020, our reserve for sales returns was $1.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively. We recognize revenue from gift cards as they are redeemed for merchandise. Prior to redemption, we maintain a current liability for unredeemed gift card balances. The customer liability balance was $9.6 million as of January 30, 2021 and $9.3 million as of February 1, 2020, and is included in deferred revenue on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our gift cards do not have expiration dates and in most cases there is no legal obligation to remit unredeemed gift cards to relevant jurisdictions. Based on actual historical redemption patterns, we determined that a small percentage of gift cards are unlikely to be redeemed (which we refer to as gift card “breakage”). Based on our historical gift card breakage rate, we recognize breakage revenue over the redemption period in proportion to actual gift card redemptions. Revenue recognized from gift cards was $14.7 million, $18.9 million and $17.9 million for fiscal years 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. For fiscal years 2020, 2019, and 2018, the opening gift card balances were $9.3 million, $8.7 million, and $9.2 million, respectively, of which $5.0 million, $5.5 million, and $4.8 million, respectively were recognized as revenue during the period. The following table summarizes net sales from our retail stores and e-commerce (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended January 30, February 1, February 2, Retail stores $ 357,896 $ 520,843 $ 508,853 E-commerce 173,433 98,457 89,625 Total net sales $ 531,329 $ 619,300 $ 598,478 The following table summarizes the percent of net sales by department: Fiscal Year Ended January 30, February 1, February 2, Mens 36% 36 % 35 % Womens 27% 24 % 25 % Accessories 15% 18 % 18 % Footwear 12% 12 % 12 % Boys 5% 6 % 6 % Girls 4% 4 % 4 % Outdoor 1% — % — % Total net sales 100% 100 % 100 % The following table summarizes the percent of net sales by third-party and proprietary branded merchandise: Fiscal Year Ended January 30, February 1, February 2, Third-party 74% 75 % 75 % Proprietary 26% 25 % 25 % Total net sales 100% 100 % 100 % Loyalty Program We have a customer loyalty program where customers accumulate points based on purchase activity. Once a loyalty member achieves a certain point level, the member earns an ward that may be used towards the purchase of merchandise. Unredeemed awards and accumulated partial points are accrued as deferred revenue and awards redeemed by the member for merchandise are recorded as an increase to net sales. Our loyalty program allows customers to redeem their awards instantly or build up to additional awards over time. We currently expire unredeemed awards and accumulated partial points 365 days after the last purchase activity. A liability is estimated based on the standalone selling price of awards and partial points earned and estimated redemptions. The deferred revenue for this program was $3.9 million as of January 30, 2021 and $2.4 million as of February 1, 2020. The value of points redeemed through our loyalty program was $6.5 million, $6.1 million and $1.7 million during fiscal year 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. For fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018, the opening loyalty program balances were $2.4 million, $1.7 million, and $1.2 million, respectively, of which $1.8 million, $0.8 million, and $0.6 million, respectively were recognized as revenue during the period. Cost of Goods Sold Cost of goods sold includes product costs and buying, distribution and occupancy costs as follows: • Costs of products sold include: ◦ freight expenses associated with merchandise received from our vendors into our distribution centers; ◦ vendor allowances; ◦ cash discounts on payments to merchandise vendors; ◦ physical inventory losses; and ◦ markdowns of inventory. • Buying, distribution and occupancy costs include: ◦ payroll, benefit costs, and incentive compensation for merchandising personnel; ◦ customer shipping and handling expenses; ◦ costs associated with operating our distribution and fulfillment center, including payroll and benefit costs for our distribution center, occupancy costs, and depreciation; ◦ freight expenses associated with shipping merchandise inventories from our distribution center to our stores and e-commerce customers; and ◦ store occupancy costs, including rent, maintenance, utilities, property taxes, business licenses, security costs and depreciation. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses • Payroll, benefit costs and incentive compensation for store, regional, e-commerce and corporate employees; • Occupancy and maintenance costs of corporate office facilities; • Depreciation related to corporate office assets; • Advertising and marketing costs, net of reimbursement from vendors; • Tender costs, including costs associated with credit and debit card interchange fees; • Long-lived asset impairment charges; • Legal provisions; • Other administrative costs such as supplies, consulting, audit and tax preparation fees, travel and lodging; and • Charitable contributions. Store Pre-opening Costs Store pre-opening costs consist primarily of occupancy costs, which are included in cost of goods sold, and payroll expenses, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Advertising We expense advertising costs as incurred, except for direct-mail advertising expenses which are recognized at the time of mailing. Advertising costs include such things as production and distribution of print and digital catalogs; print, online and mobile advertising costs; radio advertisements; and grand openings and other events. Advertising expense, which is classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, was $20.5 million, $15.9 million and $13.2 million in fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Share-Based Compensation We apply the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), for accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of this standard, share-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measurement of the estimated fair value of award and related share-based compensation expense. Refer to “Note 12: Share-Based Compensation”, for further information. Income Taxes We account for income taxes and the related accounts using the asset and liability method in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under this method, we accrue income taxes payable or refundable and recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between GAAP and tax bases of assets and liabilities. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse, and recognize the effect of a change in enacted rates in the period of enactment. We establish assets and liabilities for uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns, using a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. We include in income tax expense any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental shares attributed to restricted stock and outstanding options to purchase common stock. Incremental shares of 0, 255 thousand and 490 thousand in fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Refer to “Note 15: (Loss) Earnings Per Share”, for further information. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. At January 30, 2021 and February 1, 2020, and at various times throughout these years, we had cash in financial institutions in excess of the $250,000 amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. We typically invest our cash in highly rated, short-term commercial paper, interest-bearing money market funds, municipal bonds and certificates of deposit. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions 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 net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13), which modifies or replaces existing models for impairment of trade and other receivables, debt securities, loans, beneficial interests held as assets, purchased-credit impaired financial assets and other instruments. The new standard requires entities to measure expected losses over the life of the asset and recognize an allowance for estimated credit losses upon recognition of the financial instrument. ASU 2016-13 will become effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, and must be adopted using the modified retrospective method. We expect the new rules to apply to our fixed income securities recorded and carried at amortized cost and classified as held-to-maturity and our trade receivables. We do not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) : Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes . The new rules reduce complexity by removing specific exceptions to general income tax accounting methodology including an exception for interim periods showing operating losses in excess of anticipated operating losses for the year. The new rules will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2021. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) : Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting , which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The FASB later issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope , to clarify the scope of Topic 848 so that derivatives affected by the discounting transition are explicitly eligible for certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Accounting Standard Adopted in Fiscal 2019 On February 3, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842), using the additional modified retrospective transition method. By electing this additional transition method, we were not required to recast our comparative financial statements or provide disclosures required by the new standard for comparative periods. 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. This classification determines whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months, regardless of lease classification. |
