Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Fiscal Year

Fiscal Year—We use a fiscal calendar widely used by the retail industry that results in a fiscal year consisting of a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to January 31.  Each fiscal year consists of four 13-week quarters, with an extra week added to the fourth quarter every five or six years.  The three months ended July 31, 2021 and August 1, 2020 were 13-week periods. The six months ended July 31, 2021 and August 1, 2020 were 26-week periods.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation—The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zumiez Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

In our opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The financial data at January 30, 2021 is derived from audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 30, 2021, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year due to seasonality and other factors.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  These estimates can also affect supplemental information disclosed by us, including information about contingencies, risk and financial condition.  Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Restricted Cash

Restricted Cash—Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or use under the terms of certain contractual agreements are recorded as restricted cash in other long-term assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows (in thousands):

	July 31, 2021		January 30, 2021
Cash and cash equivalents	$	74,207	$	73,622
Restricted cash included in other long-term assets		7,091		7,068
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as shown in the statement of cash flows	$	81,298	$	80,690

Restricted cash included in other long-term assets represents amounts held as insurance collateral and collateral for bank guarantees on certain store operating leases.

Recent Accounting Standards

Recent Accounting Standards—We review recent account pronouncements on a quarterly basis and have excluded discussion of those that are not applicable and those that we determined did not have, or are not expected to have, a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
