Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] |
Discontinued Operations | Discontinued Operations Victoria's Secret & Co. Spin-Off On July 9, 2021, the Company announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") approved the previously announced Separation of the Victoria’s Secret business into an independent, publicly traded company, Victoria's Secret & Co. On August 2, 2021 (the "Distribution Date"), after the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") market closing, the Separation was completed. The Separation was achieved through the Company's tax-free distribution (the "Distribution") of 100% of the shares of Victoria's Secret & Co. common stock to holders of L Brands, Inc. common stock as of the close of business on the record date of July 22, 2021. The Company's stockholders of record received one share of Victoria’s Secret & Co. common stock for every three shares of the Company's common stock. On August 3, 2021, Victoria’s Secret & Co. became an independent, publicly-traded company trading on the NYSE under the stock symbol "VSCO." The Company retained no ownership interest in Victoria’s Secret & Co. following the Separation. In connection with the Separation, the Company entered into several agreements with Victoria's Secret & Co. that govern the relationship of the parties following the spin-off, including the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Transition Services Agreements, the Tax Matters Agreement, the Employee Matters Agreement and the Domestic Transportation Services Agreement. Under the terms of the Transition Services Agreements, as amended, the Company provides to Victoria's Secret & Co. various services or functions, including human resources, payroll and certain logistics functions. Additionally, Victoria's Secret & Co. provides to the Company various services or functions, including information technology, certain logistics functions, customer marketing and customer call center services. Generally, these services will be performed for a period of up to two years following the Distribution, except for information technology services, which will be provided for a period of up to three years following the Distribution and may be extended for a maximum of two additional one-year periods subject to increased administrative charges. Consideration and costs for the transition services are determined using several billing methodologies as described in the agreements, including customary billing, pass-through billing, percent of sales billing or fixed fee billing. Consideration for transition services provided to Victoria's Secret & Co. are recorded within the 2022 Consolidated Statements of Income based on the nature of the service and as an offset to expenses incurred to provide the services. Costs for transition services provided by Victoria's Secret & Co. are recorded within the 2022 Consolidated Statements of Income based on the nature of the service. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company recognized consideration of $19 million and recognized costs of $20 million pursuant to the Transition Service Agreements. During year-to-date 2022, the Company recognized consideration of $38 million and recognized costs of $40 million pursuant to the Transition Service Agreements. Under the terms of the Domestic Transportation Services Agreement, the Company provides transportation services for Victoria's Secret & Co. merchandise in the U.S. and Canada for an initial term of three years following the Distribution, which term will thereafter continuously renew unless and until Victoria’s Secret & Co. or the Company elects to terminate the arrangement upon 18 or 36 months’ prior written notice, respectively. Consideration for the transportation services is determined using customary billing and fixed billing methodologies, which are described in the agreement, and are subject to an administrative charge. Consideration for logistics services provided to Victoria's Secret & Co. are recorded within Costs of Goods Sold, Buying and Occupancy in the 2022 Consolidated Statements of Income and as an offset to expenses incurred to provide the services. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company recognized consideration of $21 million pursuant to the Domestic Transportation Services Agreement. During year-to-date 2022, the Company recognized consideration of $39 million pursuant to the Domestic Transportation Services Agreement. In conjunction with the Separation, the Company has contingent obligations relating to certain lease payments under the current terms of noncancelable leases. For additional information, see Note 12, "Commitments and Contingencies."
