Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

NOTE 3 – IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment at least quarterly or whenever an event or change in circumstances indicates that their carrying values may not be recoverable. If the impairment analysis indicates that the carrying value of the assets exceeds the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows, the assets may be considered impaired. For store level long-lived assets, expected cash flows are determined based on management’s estimate of future sales, merchandise margin rates and expenses over the remaining expected terms of the leases. The Company determines the fair value of operating lease ROU assets by comparing the contractual rent payments to estimated market rental rates. Long-lived store ROU and fixed assets are valued at fair value using inputs classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, which are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions. Impairment, if any, is recorded in the period in which the impairment occurred. The Company recorded impairment charges for the third quarter and year-to-date period of fiscal 2020 of $4,897,000 and $8,103,000, respectively, related to fixed assets. The Company also recorded impairment charges for the third quarter and year-to-date period of fiscal 2020 of $9,190,000 and $10,629,000, respectively, related to lease ROU assets. Impairment charges were included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company recorded no impairment charges in the third quarter and year-to-date period of fiscal 2019. The projection of future cash flows and the determination of market rental rates requires the use of judgment and estimates. If actual results differ from the Company’s estimates, additional charges for asset impairments may be recorded in the future.
