Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Guess?, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of August 3, 2013 and February 2, 2013, the condensed consolidated statements of income and condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they have been condensed and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The results of operations for the three and six months ended August 3, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2013.
The Company has made certain reclassifications to the prior years consolidated financial statements to conform to classifications in the current year. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported results from operations or net cash provided by operating activities.  
The three and six months ended August 3, 2013 had the same number of days as the three and six months ended July 28, 2012. All references herein to “fiscal 2014”, “fiscal 2013” and “fiscal 2012” represent the results of the 52-week fiscal year ending February 1, 2014, the 53-week fiscal year ended February 2, 2013 and the 52-week fiscal year ended January 28, 2012, respectively. 
New Accounting Guidance
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued authoritative guidance that requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The Company adopted this guidance effective February 3, 2013 and accordingly has presented the required comprehensive income disclosures in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which requires that an unrecognized tax benefit be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar loss or a tax credit carryforward, if specific criteria are met. This guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
