Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation Interim Financial Statements These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. In addition, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP") and the notes thereto have been condensed or omitted from this report as is permitted by the SEC's rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2020 (the "Fiscal 2020 10-K"). Basis of Consolidation These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements present the consolidated financial position, income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows of the Company, including all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and is determined to be the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Fiscal Periods The Company utilizes a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to March 31. As such, fiscal year 2021 will end on March 27, 2021 and will be a 52-week period ("Fiscal 2021"). Fiscal year 2020 ended on March 28, 2020 and was also a 52-week period ("Fiscal 2020"). The first quarter of Fiscal 2021 ended on June 27, 2020 and was a 13-week period. The first quarter of Fiscal 2020 ended on June 29, 2019 and was also a 13-week period. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and notes thereto. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include reserves for bad debt, customer returns, discounts, end-of-season markdowns, operational chargebacks, and certain cooperative advertising allowances; the realizability of inventory; reserves for litigation and other contingencies; useful lives and impairments of long-lived tangible and intangible assets; fair value measurements; accounting for income taxes and related uncertain tax positions; valuation of stock-based compensation awards and related forfeiture rates; reserves for restructuring activity; and accounting for business combinations, among others. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial information in order to conform to the current period's presentation. Seasonality of Business The Company's business is typically affected by seasonal trends, with higher levels of retail sales in its second and third fiscal quarters and higher wholesale sales in its second and fourth fiscal quarters. These trends result primarily from the timing of key vacation travel, back-to-school, and holiday shopping periods impacting its retail business and the timing of seasonal wholesale shipments. As a result of changes in its business, consumer spending patterns, and the macroeconomic environment, including those resulting from disease pandemics and other catastrophic events, historical quarterly operating trends and working capital requirements may not be indicative of the Company's future performance. In addition, fluctuations in sales, operating income (loss), and cash flows in any fiscal quarter may be affected by other events affecting retail sales, such as changes in weather patterns. Accordingly, the Company's operating results and cash flows for the three-month period ended June 27, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results and cash flows that may be expected for the full Fiscal 2021. COVID-19 Pandemic A novel strain of coronavirus commonly referred to as COVID-19 has spread rapidly across the globe in recent months, including throughout all major geographies in which the Company operates (North America, Europe, and Asia), resulting in adverse economic conditions and business disruptions, as well as significant volatility in global financial markets. Governments worldwide have imposed varying degrees of preventative and protective actions, such as temporary travel bans, forced business closures, and stay-at-home orders, all in an effort to reduce the spread of the virus. Such factors, among others, have resulted in a significant decline in retail traffic, tourism, and consumer spending on discretionary items. Additionally, during this period of uncertainty, companies across a wide array of industries have implemented various initiatives to reduce operating expenses and preserve cash balances, including work furloughs and reduced pay, which could lower consumers' disposable income levels or willingness to purchase discretionary items. Further, even after such government restrictions and company initiatives are lifted, consumer behavior, spending levels, and/or shopping preferences, such as willingness to congregate in shopping centers or other populated locations, could be adversely affected. In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has experienced varying degrees of business disruptions and periods of closure of its stores, distribution centers, and corporate facilities, as have the Company's wholesale customers, licensing partners, suppliers, and vendors. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, the majority of the Company's stores in key markets were closed for an average of 8 to 10 weeks, resulting in significant adverse impacts to its operating results. Although nearly all of the Company's stores were reopened by the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, the majority are operating at limited hours and customer capacity levels in accordance with local health guidelines, with traffic remaining challenged. The Company's wholesale business has also been adversely affected, particularly in North America and Europe, as a result of department store closures and lower traffic and consumer demand. Throughout the pandemic, the Company's priority has been to ensure the safety and well-being of its employees, consumers, and the communities in which it operates around the world. The Company continues to take into account the guidance of local governments and global health organizations and has implemented new health and safety protocols in its stores, distribution centers, and corporate facilities. The Company has also taken various preemptive actions to preserve cash and strengthen its liquidity position, including:
• | amending its Global Credit Facility in May 2020 to temporarily waive its leverage ratio requirement (see Note 10);
• | issuing $1.250 billion of unsecured senior notes in June 2020, the proceeds of which are being used for general corporate purposes (see Note 10);
• | temporarily suspending its quarterly cash dividend and common stock repurchase program, effective beginning in the first quarter of Fiscal 2021 (see Note 14);
• | temporarily reducing the base compensation of its executives and senior management team, as well as its Board of Directors, for the first quarter of Fiscal 2021;
• | temporarily furloughing or reducing work hours for a significant portion of its employees, who nevertheless remain eligible to receive employee benefits during such period;
• | carefully managing its expense structure across all key areas of spend, including aligning inventory levels with anticipated demand, negotiating rent abatements with certain of its landlords, and postponing non-critical capital build-out and other investments and activities;
• | pursuing relevant government subsidy programs related to COVID-19 business disruptions; and
• | improving upon its cash conversion cycle largely driven by its accounts receivable collection efforts and extended vendor payment terms.
The COVID-19 pandemic remains highly volatile and continues to evolve daily. Accordingly, the Company cannot predict for how long and to what extent the pandemic will impact its business operations or the global economy as a whole. The Company will continue to assess its operations location-by-location, taking into account the guidance of local governments and global health organizations to determine when its operations can begin returning to normal levels of business.
