Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Restructuring | Restructuring Activities During the second quarter of 2020, the Company completed a comprehensive review of its home office organizations in order to achieve meaningful reductions in overhead expenses and decentralize significant shared functions and services to support the separation of the Bath & Body Works and Victoria's Secret businesses. This resulted in a reduction of the home office headcount by approximately 15%, or about 850 associates. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company made payments of $16 million related to severance and related costs associated with these reductions. As of May 1, 2021, a liability of $21 million related to these reductions is included in Accrued Expenses and Other on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Victoria's Secret U.K. Due to challenging business results for Victoria's Secret in the U.K., the Company entered into Administration in June 2020 to restructure store lease agreements and reduce operating losses in the Victoria's Secret U.K. business. In October 2020, the Company entered into a joint venture with Next PLC for the Victoria’s Secret business in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Under this agreement, the Company owns 49% of the joint venture, and Next owns 51% and is responsible for operations. The Company accounts for its investment in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting.
