COVID-19 [Abstract] |
COVID-19 | Note B – COVID-19 In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, subsequently named COVID-19, emerged from China and spread worldwide. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic and a national health emergency was declared by the United States beginning on March 1, 2020. In response, many states and local governments began a series of restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders and advisories and quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus. In an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and protect our team members, customers, and communities, Havertys closed all of its stores on March 19 and halted deliveries on March 21, with the expectation at that time of reopening stores on April 2. Our stores remained closed during April and we reopened 103 locations on May 1 and the remaining 17 stores were reopened by June 20. We restarted our delivery operations on May 5. The pandemic has resulted in significant economic disruption. Although our stores and other businesses are open others remain closed or are operating on a reduced scale. There continues to be sporadic resurgences in COVID-19 cases in several of our markets. We cannot reasonably estimate the impact on Havertys should the pandemic persist or worsen. Accordingly, the estimates and assumptions management made as of September 30, 2020 could change in subsequent interim reports and upon final determination at year-end, and it is reasonably possible that such changes could be significant (although the potential effects cannot be estimated at this time). The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements covered by this quarterly report were issued. CARES Act On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") was signed into law. The CARES Act provides numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including temporary suspension of certain payment requirements for the employer-paid portion of social security taxes, the creation of certain refundable employee retention credits, and technical corrections from prior tax legislation for tax depreciation of certain qualified improvement property. Havertys elected to defer the employer-paid portion of social security taxes beginning with pay dates on and after April 1, 2020. We recorded an estimate for refundable employee retention credits for eligible wages paid to employees during March 2020 affected by the cessation of our operations. Havertys recorded additional employee retention credits during the second quarter of 2020 for additional wages paid, primarily for health care benefits paid for employees furloughed in April 2020. We have also estimated a benefit from the technical correction for qualified leasehold improvements eligible for 100% tax bonus depreciation and adjusted our balances for deferred income taxes and income taxes receivable.
