Basis of Presentation

1.    Basis of Presentation:  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial reporting and the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. We believe the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal, recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations as of the dates and for the periods presented. Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for our full fiscal year.

The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported as assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We assessed certain accounting matters, including the carrying value of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets, provisions for credit losses, inventory markdowns and the estimated effective tax rate, that require consideration of forecasted financial information based on information reasonably available to us as well as the uncertain future impacts of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the Lanier Apparel exit. These assessments resulted in the recognition of certain charges in the First Nine Months of Fiscal 2020, as discussed below and in Note 9. Future changes in the business environment, our expectations and assumptions as compared to the information at the time of this filing regarding the actual magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the actual impact of the Lanier Apparel exit and other factors could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements in future periods.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic. COVID-19 had a significant effect on overall economic conditions and our operations, resulting in a significant net sales reduction and a significant net loss in the First Nine Months of Fiscal 2020. While our mission remains the enhancement of long-term shareholder value, our focus during this crisis has been, and will continue to be, (1) the health and well-being of our employees, customers and communities, (2) protecting the reputation, value and image of our brands and (3) preserving liquidity.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw reduced consumer traffic starting in early March 2020 and temporarily closed all our retail and restaurant locations in March 2020. We began reopening our stores and restaurants in a phased approach on May 3, 2020 with additional stores and restaurants reopening throughout the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2020. Certain retail stores and restaurants, including several in Hawaii and California, were required to close again for certain periods in the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2020 after local jurisdictions reinstated some previous closure requirements, and there can be no assurance that additional closures will not occur as a result of any resurgence of COVID-19 cases and/or additional government mandates or recommendations.

The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to continue to have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the foreseeable future, due to decreased consumer traffic in stores and restaurants; uncertainty as to the continued strength of our brands’ e-commerce websites during the pendency of the pandemic; overall changes in consumer confidence and consumer spending habits; reduced demand from our wholesale customers, several of which have filed for bankruptcy or are undergoing restructurings and closures; any potential disruptions to our supply chain; and a slowdown in the U.S. and global economies.

For many reasons, including those identified above, the full magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be difficult to predict at this time, and its ultimate duration and severity will depend on future developments. We could experience other potential adverse impacts in the future as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic including additional charges resulting from adjustments to the carrying amount of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets, provisions for credit losses and inventory markdowns as well as potential changes to our estimated effective tax rate.

As a result of the COVID-19 impact on our First Quarter of Fiscal 2020 net sales and operating results, as well as lower operating results projected for future periods, we concluded that a goodwill impairment test triggering event had occurred during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020 for the goodwill associated with our Lilly Pulitzer, Southern Tide and TBBC reporting units. Further, we determined that an intangible asset impairment test triggering event had occurred in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020 for our indefinite-lived Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Southern Tide trademarks. These goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset triggering events required the need for a quantitative interim impairment assessment in accordance with our accounting policies as described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Fiscal 2019 Form 10-K. These assessments in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020 concluded that the fair values of the Southern Tide goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of May 2, 2020 did not exceed their respective carrying values, resulting in impairment charges as discussed in Note 4. These impairment charges, which totaled $60 million, were recorded in impairment of goodwill and intangible assets in our consolidated statements of operations in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020. We determined there were no additional triggering events that occurred in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2020 or Third Quarter of Fiscal 2020 that would require an additional interim impairment test for our goodwill and intangible assets during those quarters.

In the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020, due to the lower operating results and lower projected operating results, we performed recoverability tests for certain other non-current assets, including property and equipment, finite-lived intangible assets and operating lease assets, and we determined that the amounts included in the asset group were recoverable, except for a small charge related to a finite-lived intangible asset in Lanier Apparel included in Note 4. In the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2020, Third Quarter of Fiscal 2020 and the First Nine Months of Fiscal 2020 due to changes in the planned use of certain leased real estate assets, including providing notice of termination of certain retail store leases or plans to discontinue use of certain office space, we recognized impairment charges of $3 million, $3 million and $7 million, respectively. These impairment charges are for fixed assets and operating lease assets, with the substantial majority of the amounts included in SG&A and the remainder included in cost of goods sold in our consolidated statements of operations. The charges in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2020 were primarily recognized in Tommy Bahama, while the charges in the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2020 were primarily recognized in Lanier Apparel. Refer to Note 9 for additional discussion of the $3 million of impairment charges recognized in the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2020, which are related to the exit of Lanier Apparel. There were no significant operating lease asset or fixed asset impairment charges in the First Nine Months of Fiscal 2019.

The significant accounting policies applied during the interim periods presented are consistent with the significant accounting policies described in our Fiscal 2019 Form 10-K, except for the adoption of the credit losses and income tax guidance discussed below.

Accounting Standards Adopted in Fiscal 2020

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance, as amended, related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments, which requires that companies use a forward-looking current expected loss approach to estimate credit losses on certain financial instruments, including trade and other receivables, as well as other financial assets and instruments. We estimate current expected credit losses based on our historical collection experience, the financial condition of our customers, an evaluation of current economic conditions and anticipated trends. We adopted the guidance on the first day of Fiscal 2020 resulting in a charge to retained earnings, which is included in the shareholders’ equity statement for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020 included in Note 8, and a reduction to various asset amounts included in our consolidated balance sheet.

In December 2019, the FASB amended its guidance related to accounting for income taxes, which simplified the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions in existing guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas. On the first day of Fiscal 2020, we adopted the provisions related to classification of franchise taxes partially based on income and changes in ownership of foreign equity method investments or foreign subsidiaries on a modified retrospective basis while we adopted the other provisions on a prospective basis. The adoption of the new guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements as of the first day of Fiscal 2020.

Other recently issued guidance that was adopted in Fiscal 2020 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Applicable to Future Periods

Recent accounting pronouncements pending adoption are either not applicable or not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
