Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The interim consolidated financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned foreign and domestic subsidiaries, including the notes, have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) applicable to interim period financial statements and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. 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 26, 2023, included in the Company’s 2023 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. The results of operations for the three and six months ended May 26, 2024 may not be indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the year ending December 1, 2024. The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday that is closest to November 30 of that year, although the fiscal years of certain foreign subsidiaries end on November 30. Each quarter of both fiscal years 2024 and 2023 consists of 13 weeks, with the exception of the fourth quarter of 2024, which will consist of 14 weeks. All references to years and quarters relate to fiscal years and quarters rather than calendar years and quarters. 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. Expofaro S.A.S Distributor Acquisition In December 2023, the Company signed a purchase agreement to acquire all operating assets related to Levi’s® brands from Expofaro S.A.S, the Company’s former distributor in Colombia, for $31.9 million in cash. This includes 40 Levi’s® retail stores and one e-commerce site, distribution with the country’s multi-brand retailers, and the logistical operations within these markets. The total fair value of assets acquired was $31.9 million and include goodwill, inventory, intangible and fixed assets. The goodwill and definite-lived intangibles recognized as a result of the acquisition were $15.9 million and $10.3 million, respectively. The transaction closed in the second quarter of 2024. Distribution Center Conversion On May 24, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party logistics provider to manage all aspects of the Company’s Dorsten, Germany distribution center. As of the second quarter of 2024, the Company received the first payment of $77.9 million from the provider for use of the Company’s warehouse equipment and technologies over the term of the agreement. The Company will maintain certain rights over the warehouse equipment and technologies and will retain the related equipment on the consolidated balance sheets. The upfront payment will be amortized as a reduction in the related distribution expenses over the expected term of the arrangement, which we expect to commence in the second half of the year. The upfront payment is recognized on the consolidated balance sheets in “Other accrued liabilities” and “Long-term employee related benefits and other liabilities” and the proceeds are recorded as an operating activity in “Net change in operating assets and liabilities” on the consolidated statements of cash flows. Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews its 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. Property, plant and equipment, net includes accumulated depreciation of $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion as of May 26, 2024 and November 26, 2023, respectively. Supplier Finance Program The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations in the first quarter of 2024. The Company offers a supplier financing program which enables the Company’s suppliers, at their sole discretion, to sell their receivables (i.e., the Company’s payment obligations to suppliers) to a financial institution on a non-recourse basis in order to be paid earlier than current payment terms provide. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by the supplier’s participation in these arrangements. The Company’s payment terms to the financial institutions, including the timing and amount of payments, are based on the original supplier invoices. Our current payment terms with a majority of our suppliers are typically 90 days. The Company has not pledged any assets and does not provide guarantees under the supplier finance program. As such, the outstanding payment obligations under the Company’s supplier finance program are included within Accounts Payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s outstanding payment obligations under this program were $124.0 million as of May 26, 2024 and $113.4 million as of November 26, 2023. Share Repurchases During the three and six months ended May 26, 2024, the Company repurchased 0.8 million and 2.3 million shares for $17.0 million and $41.9 million, plus broker’s commissions, respectively, in the open market. This equates to an average repurchase price of approximately $18.21 per share for the six months ended May 26, 2024. During the six months ended May 28, 2023, the Company repurchased 0.5 million shares for $8.1 million, plus broker's commissions, in the open market during the first quarter. This equates to an average repurchase price of approximately $17.97 per share. During the second quarter of 2023, there were no shares repurchased. The Company accounts for share repurchases by charging entirely to retained earnings the excess of the repurchase price over the repurchased Class A common stock’s par value. 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. Reclassification Certain amounts on the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations and statements of cash flows have been conformed to the May 26, 2024 presentation. 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 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
