Interim Financial Statements In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of April 30, 2022 and January 29, 2022, and the condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the three months ended April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 and cash flows for the three months ended April 30, 2022 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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 29, 2022. Fiscal Periods The three months ended April 30, 2022 had the same number of days as the three months ended May 1, 2021. All references herein to “fiscal 2022” and “fiscal 2021” represent the results of the 52-week fiscal year ended January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, respectively. All references herein to “fiscal 2023” represent the 52-week fiscal year ending January 28, 2023. COVID-19 Business Update The COVID-19 pandemic is continuing to negatively impact certain regions of the Company’s business, especially in Asia where the Company’s operations for the quarter ended April 30, 2022 were impacted by capacity restrictions and temporary store closures. Overall, this resulted in the closure of a limited number of its directly operated stores as of April 30, 2022, mostly in China, the impact of which was minimal to the Company’s first quarter results. The COVID-19 crisis has also contributed to disruptions in the overall global supply chain, leading to industry-wide product delays and higher product and freight costs. The Company has been working actively to mitigate these headwinds to the extent possible through a number of global supply chain initiatives. In light of the fluid nature of the pandemic, the Company continues to carefully monitor global and regional developments and respond appropriately. The Company also continues to strategically manage expenses in order to protect profitability and to mitigate, to the extent possible, the effect of the supply chain disruptions. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accounting policies of the Company are set forth in further detail in Note 1 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s fiscal 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company includes herein certain updates to those policies. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosed in the accompanying notes. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the allowances for doubtful accounts, sales return and markdown allowances, gift card and loyalty accruals, valuation of inventories, share-based compensation, income taxes, recoverability of deferred taxes, unrecognized tax benefits, the useful life of assets for depreciation and amortization, evaluation of asset impairment (including goodwill and long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets), pension obligations, workers’ compensation and medical self-insurance expense and accruals, litigation reserves and restructuring expense and accruals. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revisions in estimates could materially impact the results of operations and financial position. As discussed above, the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the Company’s results during the three months ended April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021. The Company’s operations could continue to be impacted in ways the Company is not able to predict today due to the evolving situation. While the Company believes it has made reasonable accounting estimates based on the facts and circumstances that were available as of the reporting date, to the extent there are differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company’s results of operations and financial position could be materially impacted. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes the majority of its revenue from its direct-to-consumer (brick-and-mortar retail stores and concessions as well as e-commerce) and wholesale distribution channels at a point in time when it satisfies a performance obligation and transfers control of the product to the respective customer. The Company also recognizes royalty revenue from its trademark license agreements. The Company’s trademark license agreements represent symbolic licenses that are dependent on the Company’s continued support over the term of the license agreement. The amount of revenue that is recognized from the licensing arrangements is based on sales-based royalty and advertising fund contributions as well as specific fixed payments, where applicable. The Company’s trademark license agreements customarily provide for a multi-year initial term ranging from three to ten years and may contain options to renew prior to expiration for an additional multi-year period. The unrecognized portion of upfront payments is included in deferred royalties in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities depending on the short or long-term nature of the payments to be recognized. As of April 30, 2022, the Company had $5.1 million and $13.5 million of deferred royalties related to these upfront payments included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively. This compares to $5.1 million and $14.3 million of deferred royalties related to these upfront payments included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively, at January 29, 2022. During the three months ended April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021, the Company recognized $3.4 million and $3.5 million in net royalties related to the amortization of deferred royalties, respectively. Refer to Note 8 for further information on disaggregation of revenue by segment and country. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts In the normal course of business, the Company grants credit directly to certain wholesale customers after a credit analysis is performed based on financial and other criteria. Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may result from the inability of its wholesale customers and licensing partners to make their required payments. The Company bases its allowances on analysis of the aging of accounts receivable at the date of the financial statements, assessments of historical and current collection trends, evaluation of the impact of current and future forecasted economic conditions and whether the Company has obtained credit insurance or other guarantees. Management performs regular evaluations concerning the ability of its customers and records a provision for doubtful accounts based on these evaluations. As of April 30, 2022, approximately 45% of the Company’s total net trade accounts receivable and 61% of its European net trade receivables were subject to credit insurance coverage, certain bank guarantees or letters of credit for collection purposes. The Company’s credit insurance coverage contains certain terms and conditions specifying deductibles and annual claim limits. Management evaluates the creditworthiness of the counterparties to the credit insurance, bank guarantees, and letters of credit and records a provision for the risk of loss on these instruments based on these evaluations as considered necessary. The Company’s credit losses for the periods presented were not significant compared to sales and did not significantly exceed management’s estimates. Refer to Note 5 for further information on the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts. Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity The Company adopted guidance to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity and the diluted earnings per share computations for these instruments on January 30, 2022, using the modified retrospective transition method. The cumulative effect of the accounting change increased the carrying amount of the 2.00% convertible senior notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) by $27.5 million, reduced deferred income tax liabilities by $5.8 million, reduced additional paid-in capital by $43.1 million and increased retained earnings by $21.4 million, with no restatement of prior periods. Refer to Note 3 for the impact on the earnings per share calculation and Note 10 for the impact on the Notes. Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance as to how an issuer should account for a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option (i.e., a warrant) that remains classified in equity after modification or exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. An issuer should measure the effect of a modification or exchange as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged warrant and the fair value of that warrant immediately before modification or exchange and then apply a recognition model that comprises four categories of transactions and the corresponding accounting treatment for each category (equity issuance, debt origination, debt modification, and modifications unrelated to equity issuance and debt origination or modification). The Company adopted this guidance on January 30, 2022 which had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures. Recently Issued Accounting Guidance Reference Rate Reform The FASB issued guidance to provide temporary optional expedients to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. This guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to certain criteria, referencing LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The FASB issued subsequent amendments to further clarify the scope of optional expedients and exceptions to derivatives affected by the transition. The guidance is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. The Company identified and will modify, if necessary, its loans and other financial instruments with attributes directly or indirectly influenced by LIBOR. The Company determined, of its current LIBOR references as outlined in Note 9 Borrowings and Finance Lease Obligations, Note 15 Fair Value Measurements, and Note 16 Derivative Financial Instruments, only the obligations under Mortgage Debt, Credit Facilities, and Interest Rate Swap Agreements are impacted by this guidance. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Government Assistance In November 2021, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to increase the transparency of government assistance. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
