(1) NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
We are a leading retailer of off-price, upscale decorative home accessories, housewares, seasonal goods and famous-maker gifts that we generally sell below retail prices charged by department stores and specialty and on-line retailers in the United States. We operated 810 discount retail stores in 41 states as of June 30, 2014 (828 and 852 stores at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively). We have promotional sales events that create a sense of urgency and excitement for our customer base. |
(a) Basis of Presentation —The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tuesday Morning Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We operate our business as a single operating segment. Certain reclassifications were made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. None of the reclassifications affected our net income/(loss) in any period. |
(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents —Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of credit card receivables and all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. At June 30, 2014 and 2013, credit card receivables from third party consumer credit card providers were $3.8 million and $7.4 million, respectively. |
(c) Inventories — Inventories, consisting of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or market using the retail inventory method for store inventory and the specific identification method for warehouse inventory. We have a perpetual inventory system that tracks on hand inventory and inventory sold at a SKU level. Inventory is relieved and cost of goods sold is recorded based on the current cost of the item sold. Buying, distribution, freight and certain other costs are capitalized as part of inventory and are charged to cost of sales as the related inventory is sold. We charged $70.5 million, $79.1 million, and $67.3 million, of such capitalized inventory costs to cost of sales for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. |
Stores conduct annual physical inventories, staggered throughout the year. We make adjustments to our financial statements based on the results of the physical inventories. During periods where no physical inventories occur, we utilize an estimate for recording shrinkage reserves, based on historical trends of physical inventory results. These shrinkage reserves may require a favorable or unfavorable adjustment to actual results to the extent our subsequent actual physical inventories yield a different result. We review our inventory during and at the end of each quarter to ensure that all necessary pricing actions are taken to adequately value our inventory at the lower of cost or market by recording permanent markdowns to our on hand inventory. Management believes these markdowns result in the appropriate prices necessary to stimulate demand of the merchandise. Actual required permanent markdowns could differ materially from management’s initial estimates based on future customer demand or economic conditions. |
(d) Property and Equipment— Property and equipment are stated at cost. Buildings, furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: |
Estimated Useful Lives |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Buildings | | 30 years | | | | | | | | |
Furniture and fixtures | | 3 to 7 years | | | | | | | | |
Leasehold improvements | | Shorter of lease life or life of improvement | | | | | | | | |
Equipment | | 5 to 10 years | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
|
Upon sale or retirement of an asset, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from our accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations. Expenditures for maintenance, minor renewals and repairs are expensed as incurred, while major replacements and improvements are capitalized. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 we disposed of assets with a net book value of approximately $1.3 million, primarily related to the exit of certain merchandise categories as part of our business transformation strategy, which is presented in other income/(expense) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. |
(e) Deferred Financing Costs —Deferred financing costs represent fees paid in connection with obtaining bank and other long-term financing. These fees are amortized over the term of the related financing using the effective interest method. |
(f) Income Taxes —Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using statutory tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment. We file our annual federal income tax return on a consolidated basis. Furthermore, we recognize uncertain tax positions when we have determined it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. However, new information may become available or applicable laws or regulations may change thereby resulting in a favorable or unfavorable adjustment to amounts recorded. Valuation allowances are established against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the realization of those deferred tax assets will not occur. Valuation allowances are released as positive evidence of future taxable income sufficient to realize the underlying deferred tax assets becomes available. |
(g) Self Insurance Reserves —We use a combination of insurance and self-insurance plans to provide for the potential liabilities associated with workers' compensation, general liability, property insurance, director and officers' liability insurance, vehicle liability and employee health care benefits. Our stop loss limits per claim are $500,000 for workers' compensation, $250,000 for general liability, and $150,000 for medical. Liabilities associated with the risks that are retained by us are estimated, in part, by historical claims experience, severity factors and the use of loss development factors. |
The insurance liabilities we record are primarily influenced by the frequency and severity of claims, and include a reserve for claims incurred but not yet reported. Our estimated reserves may be materially different from our future actual claim costs, and, when required adjustments to our estimate reserves are identified, the liability will be adjusted accordingly in that period. Our self-insurance reserves for workers' compensation, general liability and medical were $7.9 million, $3.1 million, and $1.0 million, respectively, at June 30, 2014; $6.0 million, $2.6 million, and $0.8 million, respectively, at June 30, 2013; and $5.9 million, $3.1 million, and $0.9 million, respectively, at June 30, 2012. |
We recognize insurance expenses based on the date of an occurrence of a loss including the actual and estimated ultimate costs of our claims. Claims are paid from our reserves and our current period insurance expense is adjusted for the difference in prior period recorded reserves and actual payments. Current period insurance expenses also include the amortization of our premiums paid to our insurance carriers. Expenses for workers' compensation, general liability and medical insurance were $5.6 million, $3.8 million and $8.4 million, respectively, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014; $4.0 million, $2.1 million and $8.5 million, respectively, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013; and $3.4 million, $2.8 million and $9.5 million, respectively, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. |
(h) Revenue Recognition —Sales are recorded at the point of sale and conveyance of merchandise to customers. Sales are net of returns and exclude sales tax. |
|
(i) Advertising —Costs for direct mail, television, radio, newspaper, and other media are expensed as the advertised events take place. Advertising expenses for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014, 2013, and 2012 were $26.2 million, $27.5 million, and $28.9 million, respectively. We do not receive money from vendors to support our advertising expenditures. As of June 30, 2014, there was prepaid advertising of $113,000 compared to prepaid advertising of $121,000 at June 30, 2013. |
|
(j) Use of Estimates —The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
(k) Financial Instruments — The fair value of financial instruments is determined by reference to various market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate. The only financial instruments we carry are our revolving credit facility and foreign currency exchange contracts for merchandise purchases denominated in foreign currency. |
We enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts with a major financial institution that participates in our revolving credit facility to manage and reduce the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on certain contractual merchandise purchases with international vendors between the order and payment dates, which generally approximate 2 to 6 months. We do not utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. |
|
We account for our foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States. Changes in the fair value of the contracts that are considered to be effective are recorded in other comprehensive income/(loss) until the hedged item is recorded in earnings. Effective cash flow hedges are reclassified out of other comprehensive income/(loss) and into cost of sales when the hedged inventory is sold. The ineffective portion of cash flow hedges are recorded in other income or loss and were not material for the periods presented. The effect of foreign exchange contracts on our financial position or results of operations historically and for the periods presented is and has been immaterial. |
|
(l) Share-Based Compensation —We recognized share-based compensation costs under the requirements of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles as follows (in thousands): |
|
|
|
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Fiscal Years Ended | |
June 30, |
| | 2014 | | 2013 | | 2012 | |
Amortization of share-based compensation during the period | | $ | 3,048 | | $ | 1,886 | | $ | 1,834 | |
Amounts capitalized in inventory | | | (867 | ) | | (497 | ) | | (625 | ) |
Amount recognized and charged to cost of sales | | | 794 | | | 599 | | | 778 | |
Amounts charged against income for the period before tax | | $ | 2,975 | | $ | 1,988 | | $ | 1,987 | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
|
Consistent with prior years, the fair value of each stock option granted during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected term of an option is based on our historical review of employee exercise behavior based on the employee class (executive or non-executive) and based on our consideration of the remaining |
|
|
The risk-free interest rate is the constant maturity risk free interest rate for U.S. Treasury instruments with terms consistent with the expected lives of the awards. The expected volatility is based on both the historical volatility of our stock based on our historical stock prices and implied volatility of our traded stock options. |
These factors were as follows: |
|
|
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Fiscal Years Ended June 30, | |
| | 2014 | | 2013 | | 2012 | |
Weighted average risk-free interest rate | | | 0.5-1.6 | % | | 0.3-0.7 | % | | 0.4-1.6 | % |
Expected life of options (years) | | | 3.1-6.2 | | | 2.9-5.6 | | | 3.2-4.8 | |
Expected stock volatility | | | 48.8-69.6 | % | | 53.7-75.3 | % | | 68.4-83.5 | % |
Expected dividend yield | | | 0 | % | | 0 | % | | 0 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | |
|
(m) Net Income/(Loss) Per Common Share —Basic net income/(loss) per common share for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014, 2013, and 2012, was calculated by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Diluted net income/(loss) per common share for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014, 2013, and 2012, was calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares including the impact of dilutive common stock equivalents. See Note 10. |
|
|
(n) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of —Long-lived assets, principally property and equipment and leasehold improvements, are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. For assets that are to be held and used, an impairment is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows or internal appraisals, as applicable. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Impairment of long-lived assets has not had a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity for the periods presented. |
