Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations Levi Strauss & Co. (the "Company") is one of the world’s largest brand-name apparel companies. The Company designs, markets and sells – directly or through third parties and licensees – products that include jeans, casual and dress pants, tops, shorts, skirts, jackets, footwear and related accessories for men, women and children around the world under the Levi’s®, Dockers®, Signature by Levi Strauss & Co.™ and Denizen® brands. The Company operates its business through three geographic regions: Americas, Europe and Asia. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned foreign and domestic subsidiaries are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended November 29, 2020, included in the Company's 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Management believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented in the unaudited consolidated financial statements not misleading. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended August 29, 2021 may not be indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the year ending November 28, 2021. The Company’s fiscal year ends on the last Sunday of November in each year, although the fiscal years of certain foreign subsidiaries end on November 30. Each quarter of both fiscal years 2021 and 2020 consists of 13 weeks, with the exception of the fourth quarter of 2020, which consisted of 14 weeks. All references to years and quarters relate to fiscal years and quarters rather than calendar years and quarters. Impact of COVID-19 on the Business In fiscal year 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic materially impacted the Company's business and results of operations. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was minimal, as temporary store closures were primarily within China. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and government authorities around the world imposed lockdowns and restrictions. As a result, substantially all company-operated stores and third-party retail locations were temporarily closed, and $242.0 million in incremental charges were recognized, primarily consisting of $67.4 million of restructuring charges, COVID-19 related inventory costs of $86.6 million, and charges for customer receivables, asset impairments and other related charges of $88.0 million. During the second half of fiscal year 2020, as global management of the COVID-19 pandemic evolved and government restrictions were removed or lightened, company-operated and third-party retail locations reopened and substantially all stores were open by the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, a global resurgence in COVID-19 cases led to the temporary closure of some of the Company's stores, yet overall operations improved from when initial estimates were made, resulting in the reduction to some of the inventory and receivable related charges initially recognized in the second quarter. In accordance with the continuation of the restructuring initiative, the Company recognized charges in the fourth quarter. As a result, $250.0 million in total charges were recognized during fiscal year 2020, consisting of $90.4 million of restructuring charges, COVID-19 related inventory costs of $68.5 million, and charges for customer receivables, asset impairments and other related charges of $91.1 million. During fiscal year 2021, many COVID-19 related restrictions on store business hours and customer capacity in many parts of the world eased and social events resumed. Consumer traffic in many markets progressively improved and as of quarter end, approximately 95% of company-operated stores were open globally. Within the Company's Americas and Europe regions, net revenues in most markets have fully recovered as net revenues in these regions were higher in the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the pre-pandemic third quarter in 2019. Markets within the Company's Asia region continued to experience temporary store closures and other COVID-19 related restrictions along with reduced consumer confidence due to COVID-19 resurgences and the emergence of new variants. The Company assessed the impacts of the pandemic on the estimates and assumptions used in preparing these consolidated financial statements. The estimates and assumptions used in these assessments were based on management’s judgment and may be subject to change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. In particular, significant uncertainty remains about the duration and extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its resulting impact on global economic conditions. If economic conditions caused by the pandemic do not recover as currently estimated by management, the Company’s financial condition, cash flows and results of operations may be further materially impacted. See below for areas that required judgments and estimates as a result of COVID-19. Inventory Valuation and Adverse Purchase Commitments The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined by estimating expected selling prices based on anticipated recovery rates for slow-moving and obsolete inventory and other factors, such as market conditions, expected channel of distribution and current consumer demand and preferences. During the nine-month period ended August 29, 2021, there was a $2.3 million net reduction in COVID-19 related inventory reserves recognized. During the three-month period ended August 23, 2020, a net reduction of $1.8 million in COVID-19 related inventory reserves was recognized. During the nine-month period ended August 23, 2020, $48.1 million in incremental inventory reserves were recognized upon the onset of COVID-19. All COVID-19 related impacts on inventory valuation were recognized within "Cost of goods sold" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company also has minimum inventory purchase commitments, including fabric commitments, with suppliers that secure a portion of material needs for future seasons. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and in response to decreased demand, some of the Company's orders were canceled and an initial charge for estimated adverse purchase commitments was recorded in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. During the three-month and nine-month periods ended August 29, 2021, the Company recorded a net reduction of $0.7 million and $12.8 million, respectively, in charges for inventory purchase commitments based on updated demand and actual claims received from suppliers, as compared to a net reduction in charges of $6.1 million recorded during the three-month period ended August 23, 2020 and net incremental charges of $29.8 million recognized upon the onset of COVID-19 during the nine-month period ended August 23, 2020. All COVID-19 related impacts on inventory purchase commitments were recognized within "Cost of goods sold" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of August 29, 2021 and November 29, 2020, adverse purchase commitments of $6.1 million and $25.5 million, respectively, which primarily relate to fabric liabilities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, were included in "Other accrued liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for credit losses. The Company estimates the allowance for credit losses based on an analysis of the aging of accounts receivable, assessment of collectability, including any known or anticipated bankruptcies, customer-specific circumstances and an evaluation of current economic conditions. During the nine-month period ended August 29, 2021, a net reduction of $12.5 million in allowances related to customer receivables was recorded as a result of a change in customers' financial condition, actual and anticipated bankruptcies and other associated claims. During the three-month period ended August 23, 2020, a net reduction of $6.6 million in allowances related to customer receivables was recorded. During the nine-month period ended August 23, 2020, $21.0 million in charges were recognized upon the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The allowance for credit losses was $12.8 million and $14.7 million as of August 29, 2021 and November 29, 2020, respectively. Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews its other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may be impaired. Impairment losses are measured and recorded for the excess of carrying value over its fair value, estimated based on expected future cash flows and other quantitative and qualitative factors. Expected future cash flows decreased due to the COVID-19 related impact on foot traffic and consumer spending trends. The Company recorded $5.7 million and $11.3 million in impairment charges in the three-month and nine-month periods ended August 29, 2021, respectively, related to the impairment of certain store right-of-use and other store assets. During the three-month period ended August 23, 2020, there were no additional impairment charges recorded. During the nine-month period ended August 23, 2020, the Company recorded $54.1 million of non-cash impairment charges, of which $43.0 million and $11.1 million were related to the impairment of certain store right-of-use and other store assets, respectively. An additional $6.3 million was recognized related to other property and equipment. The impairment charges are included in selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Property, plant and equipment, net includes accumulated depreciation of $1.1 billion and $1.1 billion as of August 29, 2021 and November 29, 2020, respectively. Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Liabilities In June 2021, the Company communicated the intention to extend the lease contract for Levi's Plaza, the Company's primary corporate headquarters in San Francisco. As a result of expecting an additional 10 year term commencing in 2023, approximately $170 million of right-to-use assets and lease liabilities were recognized, subject to negotiation with landlord, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For the nine-month period ending August 29, 2021 and August 23, 2020, operating lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities totaled $359.1 million and $111.2 million, respectively. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Estimates are based upon historical factors, current circumstances and the experience and judgment of the Company’s management. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist in its evaluations. Changes in such estimates, based on more accurate future information, or different assumptions or conditions, may affect amounts reported in future periods. As a result of uncertainty and frequently changing information regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on global economic conditions, estimates may change frequently and in the near term. The Jeans Company Acquisition In December 2019, the Company completed an acquisition of all operating assets related to Levi’s® and Dockers® brands from The Jeans Company ("TJC"), the Company's distributor in Chile, Peru and Bolivia, for $52.2 million in cash, plus transaction costs. This includes 78 Levi’s® and Dockers® retail stores and one e-commerce site, distribution with the region’s leading multi-brand retailers, and the logistical operations within these markets. The total fair value of assets acquired was $52.2 million and include goodwill, inventory, intangible and fixed assets. The goodwill and intangibles recognized as a result of the acquisition were $22.8 million and $9.2 million, respectively. Share Repurchases In January 2020, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a share repurchase program that authorizes the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of the Company's Class A common stock. During the six months ended May 24, 2020, 3.0 million shares were repurchased for $56.2 million, plus broker's commissions, in the open market and the share repurchase program was suspended. In October 2021, subsequent to the Company's quarter end, the Board approved a share repurchase program that authorizes the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of the Company's Class A common stock. The Company accounts for share repurchases by charging the excess of repurchase price over the repurchased Class A common stock's par value entirely to retained earnings. All repurchased shares are retired and become authorized but unissued shares. The Company accrues for the shares purchased under the share repurchase plan based on the trade date. The Company may terminate or limit the share repurchase program at any time. Noncontrolling Interest In January 2020, the Company completed an all cash tender offer for the acquisition of the remaining 16.4% minority interest shares of Levi Strauss Japan K.K.'s common stock for a total purchase price of $13.6 million, plus transaction costs. As a result, Levi Strauss Japan K.K. has become a wholly owned subsidiary. Prior to this transaction, the noncontrolling interest included a 16.4% minority interest of third parties in Levi Strauss Japan K.K., the Company's Japanese subsidiary. Reclassification Certain insignificant amounts on the consolidated statements of cash flow have been conformed to the August 29, 2021 presentation. Changes in Accounting Principles •In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The FASB has subsequently issued updates to the standard to provide additional clarification on specific topics. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. •In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The guidance provides criteria for determining which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and which costs to expense. The capitalized implementation costs are required to be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement. The guidance also clarifies the presentation requirements for reporting such costs in the entity’s financial statements. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Recently Issued Accounting Standards There have been no developments to recently issued accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures, from those disclosed in the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except for the following: First Quarter 2023 •In March 2020 and January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting and ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform: Scope, respectively. Together, the ASUs provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This guidance is effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and the Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, if adopted.
