Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Jan. 31, 2015 |
Principles of Consolidation | PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Perry Ellis International, Inc. and its wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company consolidates any entity in which the Company would be deemed a primary beneficiary. |
Use of Estimates | USE OF ESTIMATES—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying footnotes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS—Cash and cash equivalents include cash, deposits and liquid short-term investments that have a maturity of three months or less when purchased. |
Investments | INVESTMENTS—The Company’s investments include marketable securities and certificates of deposit for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2015 and February 1, 2014. All investments are classified as available-for-sale. Investments are stated at fair value. The estimated fair value of the marketable securities is based on quoted prices in an active market. Gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method and are recognized in income based on trade dates. Unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale are included in accumulated other comprehensive income until realized. Management evaluates securities held with unrealized losses for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis. Consideration is given to (a) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost; (b) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; and (c) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. |
Inventories | INVENTORIES—Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (weighted moving average cost) or market. Cost principally consists of the purchase price (adjusted for lower of cost or market), customs, duties, freight, and commissions to buying agents. |
Property and Equipment | PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT—Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Amortization of leasehold improvements and capital leases is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful lives of the assets or improvements. The useful lives are as follows: |
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Asset Class | | Average Useful Lives in Years | | | | | | | | | | |
Furniture, fixtures and equipment | | 10-Mar | | | | | | | | | | |
Vehicles | | 7-May | | | | | | | | | | |
Leasehold improvements | | 15-Apr | | | | | | | | | | |
Buildings and building improvements | | Oct-39 | | | | | | | | | | |
Intangible Assets and Goodwill | INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL—As of January 31, 2015, intangible assets were comprised of trademarks, goodwill and customer lists. The trademarks and goodwill were identified as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, and accordingly, are not being amortized. The Company assesses the carrying value of intangible assets and goodwill at least annually. Customer lists were identified as intangible assets with finite useful lives and are amortized using a method of amortization that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed or otherwise realized. |
Fair Value Measurements | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS—A description of the Company’s policies regarding fair value measurement is summarized below. |
The Company has chosen not to elect the fair value measurement option for any instruments not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. |
Fair Value Hierarchy—The fair value hierarchy requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of observable or unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy: |
|
| • | | Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. | | | | | | | | | |
|
| • | | Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. | | | | | | | | | |
|
| • | | Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. | | | | | | | | | |
Determination of Fair Value—The Company generally uses quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities for which the Company has the ability to determine fair value, and classifies such items in Level 1. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, and inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. |
If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed valuation techniques that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters, such as interest rates, currency rates, etc. Assets or liabilities valued using such internally generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. Thus, an item may be classified in Level 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable. |
Derivatives | DERIVATIVES—Derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swap contracts and foreign exchange contracts are recognized in the financial statements and measured at fair value regardless of the purpose or intent for holding them. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are either recognized in income or stockholders’ equity (as a component of comprehensive income), depending on whether the derivative is not designated as a hedge or is designated as a hedge of changes in fair value or cash flows. When designated as a hedge of changes in fair value, the effective portion of the hedge is recognized as an offset in income with a corresponding adjustment to the hedged item. When designated as a hedge of changes in cash flows, the effective portion of the hedge is recognized as an offset in comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the hedged item and recognized in income in the same period as the hedged item is settled. |
Leases | LEASES—Leases are evaluated and classified as either operating or capital leases for financial reporting purposes. Capital leases, which transfer substantially all of the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income as a component of interest expense. Capitalized leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. Operating lease payments, other than contingent rentals, are recognized as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term, whereby an equal amount of rent expense is attributed to each period during the term of the lease, regardless of when actual payments are made. This generally results in rent expense in excess of cash payments during the early years of a lease and rent expense less than cash payments in the later years. The difference between rent expense recognized and actual rental payments is recorded as deferred rent and included in liabilities. Percentage rent expense is generally based on sales levels and is accrued when determined that it is probable that such sales levels will be achieved. |
Deferred Debt Issue Costs | DEFERRED DEBT ISSUE COSTS—Costs incurred in connection with financing transactions have been capitalized and are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the interest method, over the term of the related debt instrument. Unamortized debt issue costs are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. |
Long-Lived Assets | LONG-LIVED ASSETS—Property and equipment, along with other long-lived assets, are evaluated for impairment periodically whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. In evaluating long-lived assets for recoverability, the Company uses its best estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. To the extent that estimated future undiscounted net cash flows attributable to the asset are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference between the carrying value of such asset and its fair value. Fair value is estimated based on the future expected discounted cash flows for the assets. Judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on market and operational performance. Preparation of estimated expected future cash flows is inherently subjective and is based on management’s best estimate of assumptions concerning future conditions. |
The Company recorded a $0.9 million and $3.5 million impairment charge, in fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively, to reduce the net carrying value of certain long-lived assets (primarily real property and leaseholds) to their estimated fair value, considered a level 3 fair value measure. There was no such impairment charge for fiscal 2015. Impairment charges are included in impairment on assets in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. |
Retirement-Related Benefits | RETIREMENT-RELATED BENEFITS—The Company accounts for its defined benefit pension plan using actuarial models. These models use an attribution approach that generally spreads the individual events over the service lives of the employees in the plan. The principle underlying the required attribution approach is that employees render service over their service lives on a relatively consistent basis and therefore, the income statement effects of pensions or non-pension postretirement benefit plans are earned in, and should follow, the same pattern. |
|
The principal components of the net periodic pension calculations are the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, discount rate and the rate of compensation increases. The Company uses long-term historical actual return information, the mix of investments that comprise plan assets, and future estimates of long-term investment returns by reference to external sources to develop its expected return on plan assets. The discount rate assumptions used for pension and non-pension postretirement benefit plan accounting reflects the rates available on high-quality fixed income debt instruments at the Company’s fiscal year end. |
Advertising and Related Costs | ADVERTISING AND RELATED COSTS—The Company’s accounting policy relating to advertising and related costs is to expense these costs in the period incurred. Advertising and related costs were $15.2 million, $16.4 million and $14.9 million for the years ended January 31, 2015, February 1, 2014 and February 2, 2013, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. |
Cost of Sales | COST OF SALES—Cost of sales includes costs to acquire and source inventory, produce inventory for sale, and provisions for inventory shrinkage and obsolescence. These costs include costs of purchased products, inbound freight, custom duties, buying commissions, cargo insurance, customs inspection and licensed product royalty expenses. |
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses | SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES—Selling expenses include costs incurred in the selling of merchandise. General and administrative expenses include costs incurred in the administration or general operations of the business. Selling, general and administrative expenses include employee and related costs, advertising, professional fees, distribution, warehouse costs, and other related selling costs. |
Treasury Stock | TREASURY STOCK—Treasury stock is recorded at acquisition cost. Gains and losses on disposition are recorded as increases or decreases to additional paid-in capital with losses in excess of previously recorded gains charged directly to retained earnings. The carrying amount in excess of par is allocated to additional paid-in capital and retained earnings on a pro rata basis when treasury shares are retired. |
Revenue Recognition | REVENUE RECOGNITION—Sales are recognized at the time title transfers to the customer, generally upon shipment. Trade allowances and a provision for estimated returns and other allowances are recorded at the time sales are made, considering historical and anticipated trends. The Company records revenues net of corresponding sales taxes. Retail store revenue is recognized net of estimated returns and corresponding sales tax at the time of sale to consumers. The Company operates predominantly in North America, with 91% of its sales in that market. Four customers accounted for approximately 14%, 10%, 10% and 10%, respectively, of net sales for fiscal 2015. Two customers accounted for approximately 11% and 10%, respectively, of net sales for fiscal 2014. Two customers accounted for approximately 14% and 10%, respectively, of net sales for fiscal 2013. Sales to these customers are included in the Men’s Sportswear and Swim, as well as, the Women’s Sportswear segments. A significant decrease in business from or loss of any of the major customers could harm the financial condition of the Company by causing a significant decline in revenues attributable to such customers. The Company does not believe that concentrations of credit risk represent a material risk of loss with respect to its financial position as of January 31, 2015. |
Royalty income is recognized when earned on the basis of the terms specified in the underlying contractual agreements. A liability for unearned royalty income is recognized when licensees pay contractual obligations before being earned or when up-front fees are collected. This liability is recognized as royalty income over the applicable term of the respective license agreement. |
Advertising Reimbursements | ADVERTISING REIMBURSEMENTS—The majority of the Company’s license agreements require licensees to reimburse the Company for advertising placed on behalf of the licensees based on a percentage of the licensees’ net sales. The Company records earned advertising reimbursements received from its licensees as a reduction of the related advertising costs in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the fiscal years 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company has reduced selling, general and administrative expenses by $6.8 million, $5.9 million and $5.8 million of licensee reimbursements, respectively. Unearned advertising reimbursements result when a licensee pays required reimbursements prior to the Company incurring the advertising expense. A liability is recorded for these unearned advertising reimbursements. |
Foreign Currency Translation | FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION—For the Company’s international operations, local currencies are generally considered their functional currencies. The Company translates assets and liabilities to their U.S. dollar equivalents at rates in effect at the balance sheet date and revenue and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are recorded in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. Transactions in foreign currencies during the year are re-measured at rates of exchange at the date of the transaction. Gains and losses related to re-measurement of items arising through operating activities are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. |
Income Taxes | INCOME TAXES—Deferred income taxes result primarily from timing differences in the recognition of expenses for tax and financial reporting purposes, which requires the liability method of computing deferred income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are adjusted for tax rate changes as they occur. |
The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent it believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In the event that a net deferred tax asset is not realizable, a valuation allowance would be recorded. In making such determination, it considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be recorded, which would reduce the provision for income taxes in the period of such determination. |
In regards to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements, a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on its technical merits. |
Net (Loss) Income Per Share | NET (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE—Basic net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares of outstanding common stock. The calculation of diluted net income per share is similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator includes potentially dilutive common stock. The potentially dilutive common stock included in the Company’s computation of diluted net (loss) income per share includes the effects of stock options, warrants, stock appreciation rights (“SARS”) and unvested restricted shares as determined using the treasury stock method. |
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted (loss) income per share: |

|
-1 | Represents weighted average of stock options to purchase shares of common stock, SARS and unvested restricted stock that were not included in computing diluted income per share because their effects were antidilutive for the respective periods. | | | | | | | | | | | |
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation | ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION—Accounting for stock-based compensation requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. The Company uses fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and applies a fair-value-based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees except for equity instruments held by employee share ownership plans. |
For fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, approximately $6.0 million, $5.3 million and $4.3 million in compensation expense has been recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations related to stock options, SARS and restricted stock, respectively. During fiscal 2014 and 2013, the Company reversed $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of previously recognized compensation expense into earnings, since it was no longer probable that the previously established performance targets would be met and those equity awards were no longer expected to vest. Compensation expense for these awards is based on the fair value at the original grant date. During fiscal 2015, 2014, and 2013, the Company received cash of $0.4 million, $0.2 million, and $1.8 million, respectively, from the exercise of stock options and realized a tax benefit of approximately ($0.2) million, $0.1 million, and $1.6 million, respectively, from such exercises. |
The fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the quoted market price on the date of grant. The fair value of the options is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. This model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including: expected volatility based on the expected price of the Company’s common stock over the expected life of the option; the risk free rate of return based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option; the expected life based on the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding using historical data to estimate option exercises and employee terminations; and dividend yield based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payments. Using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, the estimated weighted-average fair value per option granted in fiscal years 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $10.22, $10.06 and $10.32, respectively. |
The following weighted-average assumptions for 2015, 2014 and 2013 were derived from the Black-Scholes model and used to determine the fair value of stock options: |
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2015 | | 2014 | | 2013 | | | | | | |
Risk free interest | | 2.2 - 2.4% | | 2.4% - 2.7% | | 2.40% | | | | | | |
Dividend yield | | 0.00% | | 0.00% | | 0.00% | | | | | | |
Volatility factors | | 62.3% - 63.3% | | 63.7% - 64.8% | | 65.4% - 66.1% | | | | | | |
Weighted-average life (years) | | 5 | | 5 | | 5 | | | | | | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS—In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2013-05, “Foreign Currency Matters.” Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-05 indicates that a cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) is attached to the parent’s investment in a foreign entity and should be released in a manner consistent with the derecognition guidance on investments in entities. Thus, the entire amount of the CTA associated with the foreign entity would be released when there has been a sale of a subsidiary or group of net assets within a foreign entity and the sale represents the substantially complete liquidation of the investment in the foreign entity, loss of a controlling financial interest in an investment in a foreign entity (i.e., the foreign entity is deconsolidated), or step acquisition for a foreign entity (i.e., when an entity has changed from applying the equity method for an investment in a foreign entity to consolidating the foreign entity). ASU No. 2013-05 does not change the requirement to release a pro rata portion of the CTA of the foreign entity into earnings for a partial sale of an equity method investment in a foreign entity. ASU No. 2013-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or the Company’s financial position. |
|
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists.” Under the amendments of this update an entity is required to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. The provisions of this update were effective prospectively for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, and for the interim periods within such fiscal years with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-11 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or the Company’s financial position. |
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU No. 2014-08 amends the definition of discontinued operations by limiting discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The amendments require expanded disclosures for discontinued operations that would provide users of financial statements with more information about the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of discontinued operations and disclosure of the pretax profit or loss of individually significant components of an entity that do not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. ASU No. 2014-08 is to be applied prospectively to all disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of an entity and all businesses or nonprofit activities that, on acquisition, are classified as held for sale that occur within fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or the Company’s financial position. |
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU No. 2014-09 clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) that removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements, provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets, provides more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Companies can choose to apply the ASU using either the full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating both methods of adoption and the impact, if any, that the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company’s results of operations or the Company’s financial position. |
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” ASU No. 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. ASU No. 2014-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The amendments can be applied either prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards. The Company is currently evaluating both methods of adoption and the impact, if any, that the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company’s results of operations or the Company’s financial position. |
