INVENTORY

We use the moving average cost method to determine the cost of merchandise inventories. We identify potentially excess and slow-moving inventories by evaluating inventory aging, turn rates and inventory levels in conjunction with our overall sales trend. Further, inventory realization exposure is identified through analysis of gross margins and markdowns in combination with changes in current business trends. We record excess and slow-moving inventories at net realizable value.

Inventory write-offs for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2020 were $12.3 million and $55.4 million, respectively, which was primarily the result of changes in the market for those inventories and the resulting slowdown in sell through rates due to the impact of the pandemic during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2020. These inventory write-offs are included in COGS in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).

We recorded $0.4 million in inventory write-offs for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021, which is included in COGS in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). Inventory adjustments made in ordinary course are presented in inventories in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
