Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Consolidation Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation, except for certain intercompany sales and related profit and receivables from the Company’s supply chain to the European Innerwear business, which was classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements in 2021 and 2022 and was sold on March 5, 2022. See Note “Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale” for additional information.
Use of Estimates Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, certain financial statement disclosures at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may vary from these estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation Foreign Currency Translation
Foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates existing at the respective balance sheet dates. Translation adjustments resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCI”) within stockholders’ equity. The Company translates the results of operations of its foreign operations at the average exchange rates during the respective periods. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in both the “Cost of sales” and “Selling, general and administrative expenses” lines in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Sales Recognition and Incentives Sales Recognition and Incentives
The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied, which occurs at a point in time, upon either shipment or delivery to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods, which includes estimates for variable consideration. The Company records a sales reduction for returns and allowances based upon historical return experience. The Company earns royalty revenues through license agreements with manufacturers of other consumer products that incorporate certain of the Company’s brands. The Company accrues revenue earned under these contracts based upon reported sales from the licensee. The Company offers a variety of sales incentives to resellers and consumers of its products, and the policies regarding the recognition and display of these incentives within the Consolidated Statements of Operations are as follows:
Discounts, Coupons, and Rebates
The Company provides customers with discounts and rebates that are explicitly stated in the Company’s contracts and are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the period the product revenue is recognized. The cost of these incentives is estimated using a number of factors, including historical utilization and redemption rates. The Company includes incentives offered in the form of free products in the determination of cost of sales.
For all variable consideration, where appropriate, the Company estimates the amount using the expected value, which takes into consideration historical experience, current contractual requirements, specific known market events and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which the customer is entitled based on the terms of the contracts.
Volume-Based Incentives
Volume-based incentives involve rebates or refunds of cash that are redeemable only if the customer completes a specified number of sales transactions. Under these incentive programs, the Company estimates the anticipated rebate to be paid
and allocates a portion of the estimated cost of the rebate to each underlying sales transaction with the customer. The Company records volume-based incentives as a reduction of revenue.
Cooperative Advertising
Under cooperative advertising arrangements, the Company agrees to reimburse the retailer for a portion of the costs incurred by the retailer to advertise and promote certain of the Company’s products. The Company recognizes the cost of cooperative advertising programs in the period in which the advertising and promotional activity takes place as a reduction of revenue.
Fixtures and Racks
Store fixtures and racks are periodically used by resellers to display Company products. The Company expenses the cost of these fixtures and racks in the period in which they are delivered to the resellers. The Company includes the costs of fixtures and racks incurred by resellers and charged back to the Company in the determination of net sales. Fixtures and racks purchased by the Company and provided to resellers are included in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Product Returns
The Company generally offers customers a limited right of return for a purchased product. The Company estimates the amount of its product sales that may be returned by its customers and records this as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized.
Advertising Expense Advertising ExpenseAdvertising represents one of several brand building methods used by the Company. Advertising costs, which include the development and production of advertising materials and the communication of these materials through various forms of media, are expensed in the period the advertising first takes place. Additionally, the Company has agreements with certain of its largest customers for digital advertising and the cost of these programs are expensed in the period the advertising and promotional activity first takes place. The Company recognized advertising expense in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations of $166,942, $208,881 and $208,998 in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs Shipping and Handling Costs
Revenue received for shipping and handling costs is included in net sales and was $11,299, $13,578 and $19,461 in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Shipping costs, which comprise payments to third-party shippers, and handling costs, which consist of warehousing costs in the Company’s various distribution facilities, were $378,541, $415,989 and $447,131 in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company recognizes shipping, handling and distribution costs in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Research and Development Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are included in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Research and development includes expenditures for new product, technological improvements for existing products and process innovation, which primarily consist of salaries, consulting and supplies attributable to time spent on research and development activities. Additional costs include depreciation and maintenance for research and development equipment and facilities. Research and development expense was $35,961, $38,911 and $39,320 in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Defined Contribution Benefit Plans Defined Contribution Benefit Plans
The Company sponsors 401(k) plans as well as other defined contribution benefit plans. Expense for these plans was $25,341, $26,296 and $37,979 in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash EquivalentsAll highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash that is subject to legal restrictions or is unavailable for general operating purposes is classified as restricted cash and is included within “Other current assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Accounts Receivable Valuation Accounts Receivable Valuation
Accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable portfolio. Trade receivables are evaluated on a collection (pool) basis and aggregated on the basis of similar risk characteristics which are determined on the basis of historical losses, the aging of trade receivables, industry trends, and its customers’ financial strength, credit standing and payment and default history.
Inventory Valuation Inventory Valuation
Inventories are stated at the estimated lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out, or “FIFO”, method for inventories. Obsolete, damaged, and excess inventory is carried at net realizable value, which is determined by assessing historical recovery rates, current market conditions and future marketing and sales plans. Rebates, discounts and other cash consideration received from a vendor related to inventory purchases are reflected as reductions in the “Cost of Sales” line in our Consolidated Statements of Operations related inventory item and are therefore reflected in cost of sales when the related inventory item is sold.
Property Property
Property is stated at historical cost and depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Machinery and equipment is depreciated over periods ranging from one to 15 years and buildings and building improvements over periods of up to 40 years. A change in the depreciable life is treated as a change in accounting estimate and the accelerated depreciation is accounted for in the period of change and future periods. Additions and improvements that substantially extend the useful life of a particular asset and interest costs incurred during the construction period of major properties are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Upon sale or disposition of an asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts.
Property is tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying value may not be recoverable. Such events include significant adverse changes in the business climate, several periods of operating or cash flow losses, forecasted continuing losses or a current expectation that an asset or an asset group will be disposed of before the end of its useful life. Recoverability of property is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If these comparisons indicate that an asset is not recoverable, the impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value. When an impairment loss is recognized for assets to be held and used, the adjusted carrying amount of those assets is depreciated over its remaining useful life. Restoration of a previously recognized impairment loss is not permitted under GAAP.
Leases Leases
The Company accounts for leases under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. At inception, a right of use asset and lease liability is recorded. The Company has operating leases for real estate (primarily retail stores and operating facilities) and certain equipment. The Company’s finance leases are not material. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. In general, for leased retail real estate, the Company will not include renewal options in the underlying lease term. However, if a situation arises where the lessor has control over the option periods, then the Company will include these periods within the lease term. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term.
Certain of the Company’s lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of retail sales over contractual levels and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
In light of temporary store closures related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company took actions in 2021 and 2022 with respect to certain of its existing leases, including withholding rent payments and engaging with landlords to obtain rent deferrals and other rent concessions. Consistent with updated guidance from the FASB in April 2020, the Company elected to treat agreed-upon payment deferrals that resulted in the total payments required by the modified contract being substantially the same as total payments required by the contract as if there were no modifications to the lease contract. The Company elected to treat other agreed-upon rent concessions, which resulted in reduced minimum lease payments, as variable lease payments. For any agreed-upon rent concessions, which change the payment terms from minimum rental amounts to amounts based on a percentage of sales volume, the Company elected to treat such changes as lease modifications under the current lease guidance.
Trademarks and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets Trademarks and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets
The primary identifiable intangible assets of the Company are trademarks, license agreements, customer and distributor relationships and computer software. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized and those with indefinite lives are not amortized. The estimated useful life of a finite-lived intangible asset is based upon a number of factors, including historical experience, the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain future cash flows, future business plans and the period over which the asset will be economically useful. Trademarks determined to have finite lives are generally amortized over periods ranging from 10 to 20 years, license agreements are generally amortized over periods ranging from three to 15 years, customer and distributor relationships are generally amortized over periods ranging up to 15 years, computer software is generally amortized over periods ranging from four to seven years and other intangibles are generally amortized over periods ranging up to 10 years.
Identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment using a process similar to that used in evaluating elements of property. Identifiable intangible assets not subject to amortization are assessed for impairment at least annually, as of the first day of the third fiscal quarter, and additionally if triggering events occur. The impairment test for identifiable intangible assets not subject to amortization consists of comparing the fair value of the intangible asset, which is determined using the income approach, to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to such excess. Fair values of intangible assets are primarily based on future cash flows projected to be generated from that asset. In performing the discounted cash flow analysis, management makes various judgments, estimates and assumptions, the most significant of which are the assumptions related to revenue growth rates, operating profit margin rates, terminal growth rates and discount rates. Rates used to discount cash flows are dependent upon interest rates and the cost of capital at a point in time. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of intangible asset impairment.
The Company capitalizes internal software development costs incurred during the application development stage, which include the actual costs to purchase software from vendors and generally include personnel and related costs for employees who were directly associated with the enhancement and implementation of purchased computer software. Additions to computer software are included in the “Capital expenditures” line in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Goodwill Goodwill
Goodwill is the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. When a business combination is completed, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are assigned to the reporting unit or units of the Company given responsibility for managing, controlling and generating returns on these assets and liabilities. In many instances, all of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities are assigned to a single reporting unit and in these cases, all of the goodwill is assigned to the same reporting unit. In those situations in which the acquired assets and liabilities are allocated to more than one reporting unit, the goodwill to be assigned to each reporting unit is determined in a manner similar to how the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination is determined.
Goodwill is not amortized; however, it is assessed for impairment at least annually, as of the first day of the third quarter, and additionally if triggering events occur. In evaluating the recoverability of goodwill, the Company estimates the fair value of
its reporting units, which is determined using the income approach, and compares it to the carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to such excess. Fair values of reporting units are primarily based on future cash flows projected to be generated from that business. In performing the discounted cash flow analysis, management makes various judgments, estimates and assumptions, the most significant of which are the assumptions related to revenue growth rates, operating profit margin rates, terminal growth rates and discount rates. Rates used to discount cash flows are dependent upon interest rates and the cost of capital at a point in time. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment.
Cloud Computing Arrangements Cloud Computing Arrangements
The Company’s cloud computing arrangements (“CCA”) include software licenses purchased from external vendors. Software license costs, implementation costs incurred during the application development stage and other costs meeting certain criteria are capitalized while all other costs are expensed as incurred. These assets are included in computer software in the “Trademarks and other identifiable intangibles, net” line in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized on a straight-line basis over their assessed useful lives. See Note “Intangible Assets and Goodwill” for additional information.
If a CCA does not include the purchase of a software license, the arrangement is accounted for as a service contract and the fees associated with the hosting service are expensed as incurred. Prepayments of these costs are included in the “Other current assets” line in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Implementation costs incurred during the application development stage as well as costs meeting certain criteria are capitalized and expensed on a straight-line basis over the term of the hosting contracts, which range from two to seven years. The capitalized assets are included in the “Other noncurrent assets” line in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, net capitalized assets were $94,425 and $53,637, respectively. Changes in the capitalized assets are included in the “Other assets” line within operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Insurance Reserves Insurance Reserves
The Company is self-insured for property, workers’ compensation, medical and other casualty programs up to certain stop-loss limits. Undiscounted liabilities for self-insured exposures are accrued at the present value of the expected aggregate losses below those limits and are based on a number of assumptions, including historical trends, actuarial assumptions and economic conditions.
Stock-Based Compensation Stock-Based Compensation
The Company established the Hanesbrands Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated), (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”) to award stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance shares and cash to its employees, non-employee directors and employees of its subsidiaries to promote the interests of the Company, incent performance and retain employees. Stock-based compensation is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company estimates forfeitures for stock-based awards granted that are not expected to vest.
Income Taxes Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are recognized for the future tax effects of temporary differences between financial and income tax reporting using tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Given continuing losses in certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates on a separate return basis, a valuation allowance has been established for the deferred tax assets in these specific locations. The Company periodically estimates the probable tax obligations using historical experience in tax jurisdictions and informed judgment. There are inherent uncertainties related to the interpretation of tax regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Company transacts business. The judgments and estimates made at a point in time may change based on the outcome of tax audits, as well as changes to, or further interpretations of, regulations. Income tax expense is adjusted in the period in which these events occur, and these adjustments are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. If such changes take place, there is a risk that the Company’s effective tax rate may increase or decrease in any period. A company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.
The Company continues to use a portfolio approach to release the income tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to pension and postretirement benefits. Under this approach, the income tax effects are released from AOCI based on the pre-tax adjustments to pension liabilities or assets recognized within other comprehensive income. Any tax effects remaining in AOCI are released only when the entire portfolio of the pension and postretirement benefits is liquidated, sold or extinguished.
Financial Instruments Financial Instruments
The Company uses forward foreign exchange contracts and has used cross-currency swap contracts to manage its exposures to movements in foreign exchange rates and uses interest rate contracts to manage its exposure to movements in interest rates. The Company has also used a combination of cross-currency swap contracts and long-term debt to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk associated with the Company’s net investment in certain European subsidiaries. The use of these derivative and nonderivative financial instruments modifies the Company’s exposure to these risks with the goal of reducing the risk or cost to the Company. The Company does not use derivatives for trading purposes and is not a party to leveraged derivative contracts.
Depending on the nature of the underlying risk being hedged, these derivative and nonderivative financial instruments are accounted for either as cash flow, net investment or mark to market hedges against changes in the value of the hedged item. Derivatives are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The fair value is based upon either market quotes for actively traded instruments or independent bids for nonexchange traded instruments. The accounting for changes in fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether the instrument has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship. The Company determines whether a derivative instrument meets the criteria for cash flow or net investment hedge accounting treatment on the date the derivative is executed. Derivatives accounted for as mark to market hedges are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.
The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including identifying the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process includes linking financial instruments to the hedged assets, liabilities, firm commitments, forecasted transactions or net investments.
The Company may be exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by individual counterparties or the entire group of counterparties to the Company’s derivative contracts. Risk of nonperformance by counterparties is mitigated by dealing with highly rated counterparties and by diversifying across counterparties.
Cash Flow Hedges
For a cash flow hedge, the Company formally assesses, both at inception and on at least a quarterly basis thereafter, whether the designated derivative instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. The change in the fair value of a derivative instrument that is designated and highly effective as a cash flow hedge is recorded as a deferred gain or loss in the “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” line in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. When the hedged item affects the statement of operations, the deferred gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reclassified from AOCI and recorded on the same line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as the hedged item. The Company does not exclude amounts from effectiveness testing for cash flow hedges that would require recognition into earnings based on changes in fair value. If it is determined that a designated derivative instrument ceases to be a highly effective cash flow hedge, or if the anticipated transaction is no longer likely to occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting, and any deferred gain or loss is reclassified from AOCI and recorded on the same line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as the hedged item.
Cash flows from derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are classified in the same category as the item being hedged in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Net Investment Hedges
For a net investment hedge, the Company formally assesses, both at inception and on a quarterly basis thereafter, whether the designated financial instrument is highly effective as an economic hedge of foreign exchange risk associated with the hedged net investment. The change in the fair value of a derivative instrument or the change in the carrying value of a nonderivative financial instrument that is designated and highly effective as a net investment hedge is recorded as a deferred gain or loss in the cumulative translation adjustment component of AOCI, offsetting the translation gain or loss for the net investment being hedged.
The Company assesses net investment hedge effectiveness and measures net investment hedge results for both derivative and nonderivative hedging instruments on an after-tax basis. The interest component of a cross-currency swap derivative contract designated in a highly effective net investment hedge is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and is initially recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment component of AOCI. This excluded component is amortized in earnings using a systematic and rational method over the term of the cross-currency swap derivative contract and recorded in the “Interest expense, net” line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
If a net investment hedging relationship ceases to be highly effective, the Company discontinues hedge accounting, and any future change in the fair value of the derivative hedging instrument or future change in the carrying value of the nonderivative hedging instrument is recorded in the “Other expenses” line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, which is where the gain or loss on the sale or substantial liquidation of the underlying net investment would be recorded. However, any deferred gain or loss previously recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment component of AOCI will remain in AOCI until the hedged net investment is sold or substantially liquidated, at which time the cumulative deferred gain or loss is reclassified from AOCI and recorded in the “Other expenses” line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Cash flows from the periodic and final settlements of the cross-currency swap contracts are reported as cash flows from investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows because the hedged item is a net investment in foreign subsidiaries, and the cash paid or received from acquiring or selling the subsidiaries would typically be classified as investing.
Mark to Market Hedges
A derivative instrument whose change in fair value is used to hedge against changes in the value of a hedged item, but which is not designated as a hedge under the accounting standards, is accounted for as a mark to market hedge. These derivatives are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets when the hedged item is recorded as an asset or liability and then are revalued each accounting period. Changes in the fair value of derivatives accounted for as mark to market hedges are reported in the “Cost of sales” and “Selling, general and administrative expenses” lines in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Cash flows from derivatives not designated as hedges are classified as cash flows from operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Assets and Liabilities Acquired in Business Combinations Assets and Liabilities Acquired in Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method, which requires the Company to allocate the cost of an acquired business to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The Company recognizes the excess of an acquired business’ cost over the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities as goodwill. Fair values are determined using the income approach based on market participant assumptions focusing on future cash flow projections and accepted industry standards.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Reference Rate Reform
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.” In January 2021, the FASB clarified the scope of that guidance with the issuance of ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform: Scope.” The new accounting rules provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. In December 2022, the FASB deferred the expiration date of Topic 848 with the issuance of ASU 2022-06, “Reference Rate Reform: Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848.” The new accounting rules extend the relief in Topic 848 beyond the cessation date of USD London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The new accounting rules must be adopted by the fourth quarter of 2024. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the new rules on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures and does not currently intend to early adopt the new rules.
Business Combinations
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” The new accounting rules require entities to apply “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. The new accounting rules were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2023. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have any impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
Derivatives and Hedging
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method.” The new accounting rules allow entities to expand the use of the portfolio layer method to all financial assets and designate multiple hedged layers within a single closed portfolio. The new accounting rules also clarify guidance related to hedge basis adjustments and the related disclosures for these adjustments. The new accounting rules were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2023. As the Company does not currently have any fair value hedging programs that leverage the portfolio layer method, the adoption of the new accounting rules did not have any impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
Supplier Finance Program Obligations
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, “Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations.” The new accounting rules create certain disclosure requirements for a buyer in a supplier finance program. The new accounting rules require qualitative and quantitative disclosures including key terms of the program, balance sheet presentation of related amounts, the obligation amount the buyer has confirmed as valid to the finance provider and a rollforward of the obligation. The accounting rules do not impact the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. The disclosure of the obligation rollforward is effective for the Company beginning in 2024 and all other disclosures were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2023. While the new accounting rules did not have any impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, the adoption of the new accounting rules did result in additional disclosures beginning in the first quarter of 2023 which are included below.
The Company reviews supplier terms and conditions on an ongoing basis and has negotiated payment term extensions in recent years in connection with its efforts to effectively manage working capital and improve cash flow. Separate from these payment term extension actions noted above, the Company and certain financial institutions facilitate voluntary supplier finance programs that enable participating suppliers the ability to request payment of their invoices from the financial institutions earlier than the terms stated in Company’s payment policy. The Company is not a party to the arrangements between the suppliers and the financial institutions and its obligations to suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by the suppliers’ participation in the supplier finance programs. The Company’s payment terms to the financial institutions, including the timing and amount of payments, are based on the original supplier invoices. The Company has no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to participate in the supplier finance programs and has no financial impact in connection with the supplier finance programs. Accordingly, obligations under these programs continue to be trade payables and are not indicative of borrowing arrangements. As of December 30, 2023, the amounts due to suppliers participating in supplier finance programs totaled $148,032 and are included in the “Accounts Payable” line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Leases
In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements.” The new accounting rules require that leasehold improvements associated with common control leases be amortized by the lessee over the useful life of the leasehold improvements to the common control group (regardless of the lease term) as long as the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset (the leased asset) through a lease. These leases should also be accounted for as a transfer between entities under common control through an adjustment to equity if, and when, the lessee no longer controls the use of the underlying asset. The new accounting rules will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2024, including interim periods. The adoption of the new rules will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures.
Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” The new accounting rules are designed to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The new accounting rules will be effective for the Company for the annual period of 2024 and interim periods beginning in 2025. Early adoption is permitted. While the new accounting rules will not have any impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, the adoption of the new accounting rules will result in additional disclosures.
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The new accounting rules on income tax disclosures require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit as separated between domestic and foreign and (3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations as separated by federal, state, and foreign. The new accounting rules also require entities to disclose their income tax payments to federal, state and local jurisdictions, and international, among other changes. The new accounting rules will be effective for the Company for the annual periods beginning in 2025 and should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
