Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business Victoria's Secret & Co. (together with its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company") is a specialty retailer of women's intimate and other apparel and beauty products marketed under the Victoria's Secret and PINK brand names. The Company has more than 890 Victoria’s Secret and PINK stores in the U.S., Canada and China as well as online at www.VictoriasSecret.com and www.PINK.com and other online channels worldwide. Additionally, Victoria’s Secret and PINK have more than 450 stores in more than 70 countries operating under franchise, license and wholesale arrangements. The Company also includes the Victoria's Secret and PINK merchandise sourcing and production function serving the Company and its international partners. The Company operates as a single segment designed to serve customers worldwide seamlessly through stores and online channels. Victoria's Secret & Co. Spin-Off On July 9, 2021, L Brands, Inc. (“L Brands” or the “Former Parent”) announced that its Board of Directors approved the previously announced separation of the Victoria's Secret business, including PINK, into an independent, publicly traded company (the "Separation"). Prior to the Separation, L Brands operated the Bath & Body Works, Victoria’s Secret and PINK retail brands. On August 2, 2021 (the “Distribution Date”), after the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") market closing, the Separation of the Victoria's Secret business was completed. On August 3, 2021, Victoria's Secret & Co. became an independent, publicly traded company trading on the NYSE under the stock symbol "VSCO." The Separation was achieved through the Former Parent’s distribution of 100% of the shares of the Company's common stock to holders of the Former Parent's common stock as of the close of business on the record date of July 22, 2021. The Former Parent's stockholders of record received one share of the Company's common stock for every three shares of the Former Parent's common stock. In connection with the Separation, the Company made a cash payment of approximately $976 million to the Former Parent on August 2, 2021 from the issuances of certain debt (discussed in Note 10, "Long-term Debt and Borrowing Facilities"). The Former Parent retained no ownership interest in the Company following the Separation. The Company entered into several agreements with the Former Parent that, among other things, effect the Separation and govern the relationship of the parties following the Separation, including a Separation and Distribution Agreement, a Tax Matters Agreement, an L Brands to VS Transition Services Agreement, a VS to L Brands Transition Services Agreement, an Employee Matters Agreement and a Domestic Transportation Services Agreement. For additional information, see Note 2, "Transactions with Former Parent." Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31. As used herein, “first quarter of 2022” and “first quarter of 2021” refer to the thirteen-week periods ended April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021, respectively. Basis of Presentation - Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements The Company’s financial statements for periods through the Separation date of August 2, 2021 are combined financial statements prepared on a carve-out basis as discussed below. The Company’s financial statements for the period from August 3, 2021 through April 30, 2022 are consolidated financial statements based on the reported results of Victoria's Secret & Co. as a standalone company. The Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). The Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements may not be indicative of the Company’s future performance and do not necessarily reflect what the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows would have been had it operated as an independent company during all of the periods presented. Basis of Presentation - Prior to Separation Through the Separation date, the Company's combined financial statements are prepared on a "carve-out" basis. The Combined Financial Statements have been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of the Former Parent in conformity with GAAP. Intracompany transactions have been eliminated. Transactions between the Company and the Former Parent have been included in these financial statements. For those transactions between the Company and the Former Parent that were historically settled in cash, the Company reflected such balances in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets in Other Current Assets for balances due from the Former Parent and in Accrued Expenses and Other for balances due to the Former Parent. The aggregate net effect of transactions between the Company and the Former Parent that were historically settled other than in cash are reflected in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets as Net Investment by Former Parent and in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Cash Flows as Net Transfers to Former Parent. For additional information, see Note 2, "Transactions with Former Parent." The Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets include certain of the Former Parent's assets and liabilities that were specifically identifiable or otherwise attributable to the Company. The Former Parent's third-party long-term notes payable and the related interest expense have not been allocated to the Company for any of the periods presented as the Company was not the legal obligor of such debt. Except for Long-term Debt due to Former Parent, the debt reflected in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets relate to third-party borrowings specifically attributable to, and legal obligations of, the Company. The Former Parent utilized a centralized approach to cash management and financing its operations. The Cash and Cash Equivalents held by the Former Parent at the corporate level were not specifically identifiable to the Company and, therefore, were not reflected in the Company’s Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets. Cash transfers between the Former Parent and the Company were accounted for through Net Investment by the Former Parent. Cash and Cash Equivalents in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets represent cash and cash equivalents held by the Company at period-end prior to any potential transfer to the centralized cash management pool of the Former Parent. The Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income include costs for certain functions, including information technology, human resources and store design and construction, that historically were provided and administered on a centralized basis by the Former Parent. Starting in the third quarter of 2020, as part of the steps to prepare the Company to operate as a separate, standalone company, these functions were transitioned to the business and began to be operated and administered as part of Victoria’s Secret & Co. Costs applicable to the Company related to these functions are included in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income for all periods presented. Prior to the transition of these functions, these costs were directly charged to the Company by the Former Parent. In addition, for purposes of preparing the combined financial statements on a “carve-out” basis prior to the Separation, a portion of the Former Parent's corporate expenses were allocated to the Company. These expense allocations include the cost of corporate functions and resources provided by, or administered by, the Former Parent including, but not limited to, executive management and other corporate and governance functions, such as corporate finance, internal audit, tax and treasury. The related employee payroll and benefit costs associated with such functions, such as share-based compensation, were included in the expense allocations. Corporate expenses of $19 million in the first quarter of 2021 were allocated and included within General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses in the 2021 Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income. Costs were allocated to the Company based on direct usage when identifiable or, when not directly identifiable, on the basis of proportional net sales. Management considers the basis on which the expenses have been allocated to reasonably reflect the utilization of services provided to, or the benefit received by, the Company during the periods presented. However, the allocations may not reflect the expenses the Company would have incurred if the Company had been a standalone company for the periods presented. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Company had been a standalone company would depend on a number of factors, including the organizational structure, whether functions were outsourced or performed by employees, and strategic or capital decisions. Going forward, the Company may perform these functions using its own resources or outsourced services. For a period following the Separation, however, some of these functions will continue to be provided by the Former Parent under a transition services agreement, and the Company will provide some services to the Former Parent under a transition services agreement. The Company has also entered into certain commercial arrangements with the Former Parent in connection with the Separation. For more information, see Note 2, "Transactions with Former Parent." During the periods prior to the Separation that are presented in these Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements, the Company's income tax expense (benefit) and deferred tax balances were included in the Former Parent's income tax returns. Income tax expense (benefit) and deferred tax balances contained in these Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for periods prior to the Separation are presented on a separate return basis, as if the Company had filed its own income tax returns. As a result, actual tax transactions included in the consolidated financial statements of the Former Parent may or may not be included in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements of the Company. Similarly, the tax treatment of certain items reflected in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements of the Company may or may not be reflected in the consolidated financial statements and income tax returns of the Former Parent. The taxes recorded in the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income for periods prior to the Separation are not necessarily representative of the taxes that may arise in the future when the Company files its income tax returns independent from the Former Parent's returns. Interim Financial Statements The Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements as of and for the periods ended April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021 are unaudited. These Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 18, 2022. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. Impacts of COVID-19 The coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19") has created significant public health concerns as well as economic disruption, uncertainty and volatility. The Company remains focused on the safe operation of its business, including its stores, distribution, fulfillment and call centers. There remains the potential for COVID-19-related risks of closure or operating restrictions, as well as risks related to delays or disruptions in our supply chain and related pricing impacts, which could materially impact the Company's operations and financial performance in future periods. Seasonality of Business Due to the seasonal variations in the retail industry, the results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year. Equity Method Investments The Company accounts for investments in unconsolidated entities where it exercises significant influence, but does not have control, using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company recognizes its share of the investee's net income or loss. Losses are only recognized to the extent the Company has positive carrying value related to the investee. Carrying values are only reduced below zero if the Company has an obligation to provide funding to the investee. The Company’s share of net income or loss of unconsolidated entities from which the Company purchases merchandise or merchandise components is included in Costs of Goods Sold, Buying and Occupancy in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income, and the Company's share of net income or loss from all other unconsolidated entities is included in General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income. The Company’s equity method investments are required to be reviewed for impairment when it is determined there may be an other-than-temporary loss in value. In March 2022, the Company acquired a minority interest in swimwear brand Frankies Bikinis, LLC ("Frankies Bikinis") in exchange for $18 million. The investment in Frankies Bikinis is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The carrying values of equity method investments were $54 million as of April 30, 2022, $35 million as of January 29, 2022 and $32 million as of May 1, 2021. These investments are recorded in Other Assets on the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets. Noncontrolling Interest The Company accounts for investments in entities where it has control over the entity by consolidating the entities' assets, liabilities and results of operations and including them in the Company's Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements. The share of the investment not owned by the Company is reflected in Noncontrolling Interest in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets. The Company recognizes the share of net income or loss not attributable to the Company in Net Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income. Noncontrolling interest in the first quarter of 2022 represents the portion of equity interests in a joint venture in China that is not owned by the Company. For additional information, see Note 4, "Restructuring Activities." Net Investment by Former Parent Net Investment by Former Parent in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets represents the Former Parent's historical investment in the Company, the accumulated net earnings after taxes and the net effect of the transactions with and allocations from the Former Parent. All transactions reflected in Net Investment by Former Parent in the accompanying Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets have been considered as financing activities for purposes of the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Cash Flows. For additional information, see Basis of Presentation above and Note 2, "Transactions with Former Parent." Derivative Financial Instruments The Company from time to time uses derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading purposes. All derivative instruments are recorded on the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets at fair value. The earnings of the Company’s foreign operations are subject to exchange rate risk as substantially all the merchandise is sourced through U.S. dollar transactions. The Company from time to time utilizes foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to mitigate this foreign currency exposure. Amounts for these designated cash flow hedges are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) upon sale of the hedged merchandise to the customer. These gains and losses are recognized in Costs of Goods Sold, Buying and Occupancy in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company terminated its foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges that were used to mitigate foreign currency exposure for its Canadian operations. The fair value of designated cash flow hedges is not significant for any period presented. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various major financial institutions. The Company monitors the relative credit standing of financial institutions with whom the Company transacts with and limits the amount of credit exposure with any one entity. As of April 30, 2022, the Company's investment portfolio is primarily comprised of bank deposits. Prior to the Separation, cash generated by the Company was invested by the Former Parent in U.S. government obligations and U.S. Treasury and AAA-rated money market funds. The Company also periodically reviews the relative credit standing of franchise, license and wholesale partners and other entities to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company determines the required allowance for expected credit losses using information such as customer credit history and financial condition. Amounts are recorded to the allowance when it is determined that expected credit losses may occur. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and the Company revises its estimates and assumptions as new information becomes available. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements The Company did not adopt any new accounting standards during the first quarter of 2022 that had a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In addition, there are no new accounting standards not yet adopted that are expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Victoria's Secret & Co. (together with its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company") is a specialty retailer of women's intimate and other apparel and beauty products marketed under the Victoria's Secret and PINK brand names. The Company has more than 890 Victoria’s Secret and PINK stores in the U.S., Canada and China as well as online at www.VictoriasSecret.com and www.PINK.com and other online channels worldwide. Additionally, Victoria’s Secret and PINK have more than 450 stores in more than 70 countries operating under franchise, license and wholesale arrangements. The Company also includes the Victoria's Secret and PINK merchandise sourcing and production function serving the Company and its international partners. The Company operates as a single segment designed to serve customers worldwide seamlessly through stores and online channels.

On July 9, 2021, L Brands, Inc. (“L Brands” or the “Former Parent”) announced that its Board of Directors approved the previously announced separation of the Victoria's Secret business, including PINK, into an independent, publicly traded company (the "Separation"). Prior to the Separation, L Brands operated the Bath & Body Works, Victoria’s Secret and PINK retail brands.

On August 2, 2021 (the “Distribution Date”), after the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") market closing, the Separation of the Victoria's Secret business was completed. On August 3, 2021, Victoria's Secret & Co. became an independent, publicly traded company trading on the NYSE under the stock symbol "VSCO."

The Separation was achieved through the Former Parent’s distribution of 100% of the shares of the Company's common stock to holders of the Former Parent's common stock as of the close of business on the record date of July 22, 2021. The Former Parent's stockholders of record received one share of the Company's common stock for every three shares of the Former Parent's common stock. In connection with the Separation, the Company made a cash payment of approximately $976 million to the Former Parent on August 2, 2021 from the issuances of certain debt (discussed in Note 10, "Long-term Debt and Borrowing Facilities"). The Former Parent retained no ownership interest in the Company following the Separation.

The Company entered into several agreements with the Former Parent that, among other things, effect the Separation and govern the relationship of the parties following the Separation, including a Separation and Distribution Agreement, a Tax Matters Agreement, an L Brands to VS Transition Services Agreement, a VS to L Brands Transition Services Agreement, an Employee Matters Agreement and a Domestic Transportation Services Agreement. For additional information, see Note 2, "Transactions with Former Parent."

The Company’s financial statements for periods through the Separation date of August 2, 2021 are combined financial statements prepared on a carve-out basis as discussed below. The Company’s financial statements for the period from August 3, 2021 through April 30, 2022 are consolidated financial statements based on the reported results of Victoria's Secret & Co. as a standalone company.

The Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). The Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements may not be indicative of the Company’s future performance and do not necessarily reflect what the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows would have been had it operated as an independent company during all of the periods presented.

Through the Separation date, the Company's combined financial statements are prepared on a "carve-out" basis. The Combined Financial Statements have been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of the Former Parent in conformity with GAAP.

Intracompany transactions have been eliminated. Transactions between the Company and the Former Parent have been included in these financial statements. For those transactions between the Company and the Former Parent that were historically settled in cash, the Company reflected such balances in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets in Other Current Assets for balances due from the Former Parent and in Accrued Expenses and Other for balances due to the Former Parent. The aggregate net effect of transactions between the Company and the Former Parent that were historically settled other than in cash are reflected in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets as Net Investment by Former Parent and in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Cash Flows as Net Transfers to Former Parent. For additional information, see Note 2, "Transactions with Former Parent."

The Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets include certain of the Former Parent's assets and liabilities that were specifically identifiable or otherwise attributable to the Company. The Former Parent's third-party long-term notes payable and the related interest expense have not been allocated to the Company for any of the periods presented as the Company was not the legal obligor of such debt. Except for Long-term Debt due to Former Parent, the debt reflected in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets relate to third-party borrowings specifically attributable to, and legal obligations of, the Company.

The Former Parent utilized a centralized approach to cash management and financing its operations. The Cash and Cash Equivalents held by the Former Parent at the corporate level were not specifically identifiable to the Company and, therefore, were not reflected in the Company’s Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets. Cash transfers between the Former Parent and the Company were accounted for through Net Investment by the Former Parent. Cash and Cash Equivalents in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets represent cash and cash equivalents held by the Company at period-end prior to any potential transfer to the centralized cash management pool of the Former Parent.

The Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income include costs for certain functions, including information technology, human resources and store design and construction, that historically were provided and administered on a centralized basis by the Former Parent. Starting in the third quarter of 2020, as part of the steps to prepare the Company to operate as a separate, standalone company, these functions were transitioned to the business and began to be operated and administered as part of Victoria’s Secret & Co. Costs applicable to the Company related to these functions are included in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income for all periods presented. Prior to the transition of these functions, these costs were directly charged to the Company by the Former Parent.

In addition, for purposes of preparing the combined financial statements on a “carve-out” basis prior to the Separation, a portion of the Former Parent's corporate expenses were allocated to the Company. These expense allocations include the cost of corporate functions and resources provided by, or administered by, the Former Parent including, but not limited to, executive management and other corporate and governance functions, such as corporate finance, internal audit, tax and treasury. The related employee payroll and benefit costs associated with such functions, such as share-based compensation, were included in the expense allocations. Corporate expenses of $19 million in the first quarter of 2021 were allocated and included within General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses in the 2021 Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income.

Costs were allocated to the Company based on direct usage when identifiable or, when not directly identifiable, on the basis of proportional net sales. Management considers the basis on which the expenses have been allocated to reasonably reflect the utilization of services provided to, or the benefit received by, the Company during the periods presented. However, the allocations may not reflect the expenses the Company would have incurred if the Company had been a standalone company for the periods presented. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Company had been a standalone company would depend on a number of factors, including the organizational structure, whether functions were outsourced or performed by employees, and strategic or capital decisions. Going forward, the Company may perform these functions using its own resources or outsourced services. For a period following the Separation, however, some of these functions will continue to be provided by the Former Parent under a transition services agreement, and the Company will provide some services to the Former Parent under a transition services agreement. The Company has also entered into certain commercial arrangements with the Former Parent in connection with the Separation. For more information, see Note 2, "Transactions with Former Parent."

During the periods prior to the Separation that are presented in these Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements, the Company's income tax expense (benefit) and deferred tax balances were included in the Former Parent's income tax returns. Income tax expense (benefit) and deferred tax balances contained in these Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for periods prior to the Separation are presented on a separate return basis, as if the Company had filed its own income tax returns. As a result, actual tax transactions included in the consolidated financial statements of the Former Parent may or may not be included in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements of the Company. Similarly, the tax treatment of certain items reflected in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements of the Company may or may not be reflected in the consolidated financial statements and income tax returns of the Former Parent. The taxes recorded in the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income for periods prior to the Separation are not necessarily representative of the taxes that may arise in the future when the Company files its income tax returns independent from the Former Parent's returns.

The Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements as of and for the periods ended April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021 are unaudited. These Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 18, 2022.

The coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19") has created significant public health concerns as well as economic disruption, uncertainty and volatility. The Company remains focused on the safe operation of its business, including its stores, distribution, fulfillment and call centers. There remains the potential for COVID-19-related risks of closure or operating restrictions, as well as risks related to delays or disruptions in our supply chain and related pricing impacts, which could materially impact the Company's operations and financial performance in future periods.

The Company accounts for investments in unconsolidated entities where it exercises significant influence, but does not have control, using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company recognizes its share of the investee's net income or loss. Losses are only recognized to the extent the Company has positive carrying value related to the investee. Carrying values are only reduced below zero if the Company has an obligation to provide funding to the investee. The Company’s share of net income or loss of unconsolidated entities from which the Company purchases merchandise or merchandise components is included in Costs of Goods Sold, Buying and Occupancy in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income, and the Company's share of net income or loss from all other unconsolidated entities is included in General, Administrative and Store Operating Expenses in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income. The Company’s equity method investments are required to be reviewed for impairment when it is determined there may be an other-than-temporary loss in value.

The Company accounts for investments in entities where it has control over the entity by consolidating the entities' assets, liabilities and results of operations and including them in the Company's Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements. The share of the investment not owned by the Company is reflected in Noncontrolling Interest in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets. The Company recognizes the share of net income or loss not attributable to the Company in Net Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income. Noncontrolling interest in the first quarter of 2022 represents the portion of equity interests in a joint venture in China that is not owned by the Company. For additional information, see Note 4, "Restructuring Activities."

Net Investment by Former Parent in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets represents the Former Parent's historical investment in the Company, the accumulated net earnings after taxes and the net effect of the transactions with and allocations from the Former Parent. All transactions reflected in Net Investment by Former Parent in the accompanying Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets have been considered as financing activities for purposes of the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company from time to time uses derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading purposes. All derivative instruments are recorded on the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets at fair value.

The earnings of the Company’s foreign operations are subject to exchange rate risk as substantially all the merchandise is sourced through U.S. dollar transactions. The Company from time to time utilizes foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to mitigate this foreign currency exposure. Amounts for these designated cash flow hedges are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) upon sale of the hedged merchandise to the customer. These gains and losses are recognized in Costs of Goods Sold, Buying and Occupancy in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company terminated its foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges that were used to mitigate foreign currency exposure for its Canadian operations. The fair value of designated cash flow hedges is not significant for any period presented.

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various major financial institutions. The Company monitors the relative credit standing of financial institutions with whom the Company transacts with and limits the amount of credit exposure with any one entity. As of April 30, 2022, the Company's investment portfolio is primarily comprised of bank deposits. Prior to the Separation, cash generated by the Company was invested by the Former Parent in U.S. government obligations and U.S. Treasury and AAA-rated money market funds.

The Company also periodically reviews the relative credit standing of franchise, license and wholesale partners and other entities to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company determines the required allowance for expected credit losses using information such as customer credit history and financial condition. Amounts are recorded to the allowance when it is determined that expected credit losses may occur.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and the Company revises its estimates and assumptions as new information becomes available.

The Company did not adopt any new accounting standards during the first quarter of 2022 that had a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In addition, there are no new accounting standards not yet adopted that are expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
