Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Implementation Costs in Cloud Computing Arrangements
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2018-15, "Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract" ("ASU 2018-15"). ASU 2018-15 addresses diversity in practice surrounding the accounting for costs incurred to implement a cloud computing hosting arrangement that is a service contract by establishing a model for capitalizing or expensing such costs, depending on their nature and the stage of the implementation project during which they are incurred. Any capitalized costs are to be amortized over the reasonably certain term of the hosting arrangement and presented in the same line as the service arrangement's fees within the statement of operations. ASU 2018-15 also requires enhanced qualitative and quantitative disclosures surrounding hosting arrangements that are service contracts. ASU 2018-15 is effective for the Company beginning in its fiscal year ending March 27, 2021 ("Fiscal 2021"), with early adoption permitted, and may be adopted on either a retrospective or prospective basis. Although the impact of adopting ASU 2018-15 will depend on the Company's cloud computing arrangements in place at that time, other than the new disclosure requirements, the Company does not currently expect that it will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, "Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities" ("ASU 2017-12"). ASU 2017-12 amends existing hedge accounting guidance by better aligning an entity's financial reporting with its risk management activities and by simplifying its application. Among its provisions, ASU 2017-12 eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report ineffectiveness for instruments that qualify for hedge accounting and generally requires that the entire change in fair value of such instruments ultimately be presented in the same income statement line as the respective hedged item. Additionally, the updated guidance reduces the overall complexity of the hedge accounting model, including easing documentation and effectiveness assessment requirements and modifying the treatment of components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The new guidance also broadens the scope of risks eligible to qualify for hedge accounting and enhances the understandability of hedge results through amended disclosure requirements. ASU 2017-12 is to be applied using a modified retrospective transition approach, except for the amended presentation and disclosure requirements, which are to be applied prospectively.
The Company early-adopted ASU 2017-12 as of the beginning of the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, which resulted in a cumulative adjustment of $0.7 million, net of tax, to increase its opening retained earnings balance. Overall, the adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, "Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory" ("ASU 2016-16"). ASU 2016-16 requires recognition of income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs, rather than when the asset has been sold to a third party. The Company adopted ASU 2016-16 as of the beginning of the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 using the modified retrospective method, which resulted in a cumulative adjustment of $0.6 million to reduce its opening retained earnings balance. Overall, the adoption of ASU 2016-16 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13, which was further updated and clarified by the FASB through issuance of additional related ASUs, amends the guidance surrounding measurement and recognition of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade receivables and debt securities, by requiring recognition of an allowance for credit losses expected to be incurred over an asset's lifetime based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and supportable forecasts impacting its ultimate collectibility. This "expected loss" model will result in earlier recognition of credit losses than the current "as incurred" model, under which losses are recognized only upon an occurrence of an event that gives rise to the incurrence of a probable loss. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning in its Fiscal 2021, with early adoption permitted, and is to be adopted on a modified retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee's rights and fixed payment obligations under most leases be recognized as right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 retains a dual model for classifying leases as either finance or operating, which governs the pattern of expense recognition to be reflected in the consolidated statement of operations. Variable lease payments based on performance, such as percentage-of-sales-based payments, will not be included in the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities. Rather, consistent with current practice, such amounts will be recognized as an expense in the period incurred. After its original issuance, the FASB issued several additional related ASUs to address implementation concerns and further amend and clarify certain guidance within ASU 2016-02.
The Company will adopt ASU 2016-02 in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending March 28, 2020 ("Fiscal 2020") using a modified retrospective approach under which the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard will be recognized as an adjustment to its opening Fiscal 2020 retained earnings, with no restatement of prior year amounts. In connection therewith, the Company will apply an optional package of practical expedients intended to ease transition to the standard for existing leases by, among its provisions, allowing the Company to carry forward its original lease classification conclusions without reassessment. The Company also intends to elect application of the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from lease components for purposes of measuring its lease-related balances.
Based on assessment efforts to date, the Company estimates that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will result in initial increases in its long-term assets and liabilities of approximately $1.6 billion to $1.8 billion relating to its existing lease commitments that will become subject to balance sheet recognition. These balances will fluctuate over time as the Company's lease portfolio changes as a result of ongoing lease-related activity. The standard also requires enhanced quantitative and qualitative lease-related disclosures. Recognition of lease expense in the consolidated statement of operations will not significantly change (see Note 3).
In connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company has assessed the transition impact related to a certain real estate lease for which it has been deemed the owner of the related leased asset for accounting purposes under existing accounting guidance (commonly referred to as a "build-to-suit" lease arrangement), but no longer actively uses the related space. Although the Company no longer generates revenue or any other cash flows through its rights underlying the leased asset, it has not been considered impaired under existing accounting guidance as the asset's fair value from an ownership perspective (and not from the perspective of a sublessor) exceeds its carrying value. However, in accordance with and upon transitioning to ASU 2016-02, the Company will derecognize the remaining lease asset and liability balances that had been recognized solely as a result of the arrangement's build-to-suit designation, as the related construction activities that gave rise to such designation have since ended, and will establish a ROU asset and related lease liability measured based on its remaining fixed payment obligations. The initial ROU asset will then be assessed for impairment based on the aggregate estimated cash flows that could be generated by transferring the lease to a market participant sublessee for the remainder of its term, which are expected to be materially lower than the aggregate remaining minimum lease payments underlying the ROU asset. Accordingly, the Company expects to impair the initial ROU asset by approximately $170 million to $190 million to its estimated fair value, which will be recorded as a reduction to its opening retained earnings balance upon adoption, net of related income tax effects.
The Company also anticipates recording other initial ROU asset impairment adjustments of approximately $20 million to $30 million upon adoption of ASU 2016-02 related to certain underperforming retail locations for which the fair value of the respective store's lease is lower than the carrying value of the related initial ROU asset. These impairments will be recorded as an adjustment to reduce the Company's opening retained earnings balance, net of related income tax effects. Leasehold improvements related to these underperforming retail locations were fully impaired prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-02, as their carrying values were determined not to be recoverable.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 provides a single, comprehensive accounting model for revenues arising from contracts with customers that supersedes most previously existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. Under this model, revenue, representing the amount that an entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for providing promised goods or services (i.e., performance obligations), is recognized upon control of promised goods or services transferring to a customer. ASU 2014-09 also requires enhanced qualitative and quantitative revenue-related disclosures. After its original issuance, the FASB issued several additional related ASUs to address implementation concerns and further amend and clarify certain guidance within ASU 2014-09.
The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 as of the beginning of the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 using the modified retrospective method and applied the standard to all contracts as of the adoption date. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, as the performance obligations underlying its core revenue streams (i.e., its retail and wholesale businesses) and the timing of recognition thereof, remain substantially unchanged. Revenues for these businesses are generated through the sale of finished products, and continue to be recognized at the point in time when merchandise is transferred to the customer and in an amount that considers the impacts of estimated returns, end-of-season markdowns, and other allowances that are variable in nature. For its licensing business, the Company continues to recognize revenue, including any contractually-guaranteed minimum royalty amounts, over time consistent with historical practice.
The Company's adoption of ASU 2014-09 did have an impact on its accounting for certain ancillary items. Specifically, certain costs associated with the marketing of merchandise to wholesale customers for a particular selling season are now expensed as incurred, rather than deferred and expensed over the course of the season. Additionally, revenue related to gift card breakage is now recognized in proportion to the pattern of actual customer redemptions, rather than when the likelihood of redemption becomes remote. As a result of applying these changes and in order to transition to ASU 2014-09, the Company reduced (i) prepaid expenses and other current assets by $12.1 million related to certain previously deferred wholesale marketing costs and (ii) accrued expenses and other current liabilities by $6.1 million related to outstanding gift cards, which together resulted in a net cumulative adjustment to reduce its opening retained earnings balance by $5.2 million, net of tax, as of the beginning of the first quarter of Fiscal 2019. In addition to these changes, inventory amounts associated with estimated sales returns, which were $18.4 million as of March 30, 2019, are now presented within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet, rather than within inventories. Other than these changes, the Company's adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on its consolidated balance sheet as of March 30, 2019 or its consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows during Fiscal 2019. Prior periods have not been restated and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect during those periods.
