Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES Impact of valuation allowances and other tax benefits during Fiscal 2023 During Fiscal 2023, the Company did not recognize income tax benefits on $103.0 million of pre-tax losses, primarily in Switzerland, resulting in adverse tax impacts of $15.6 million. As of February 3, 2024, the Company had foreign net deferred tax assets of approximately $36.7 million, including $7.6 million, $7.5 million, and $12.6 million in China, Japan, and the United Kingdom, respectively. While the Company believes that these net deferred tax assets are more-likely-than-not to be realized, it is not a certainty, as the Company continues to evaluate and respond to emerging situations. Should circumstances change, the net deferred tax assets may become subject to additional valuation allowances in the future. Additional valuation allowances would result in additional tax expense. Impact of valuation allowances and other tax benefits during Fiscal 2022 During Fiscal 2022, the Company did not recognize income tax benefits on $136.5 million of pre-tax losses, primarily in Switzerland, resulting in adverse tax impacts of $20.0 million. As of January 28, 2023, the Company had foreign net deferred tax assets of approximately $43.8 million, including $8.0 million, $9.1 million, and $15.6 million in China, Japan, and the United Kingdom, respectively. Impact of valuation allowances and other tax charges during Fiscal 2021 During Fiscal 2021, as a result of the improvement seen in business conditions, the Company recognized $42.5 million of tax benefits due to the release of valuation allowances, primarily in the U.S. and Germany, and a discrete tax benefit of $3.9 million due to a rate change in the United Kingdom. The Company did not recognize income tax benefits on $25.3 million of pre-tax losses generated in Fiscal 2022, primarily in Switzerland, resulting in adverse tax impacts of $4.6 million. As of January 29, 2022, the Company had foreign net deferred tax assets of approximately $54.6 million, including $9.7 million, $12.2 million, and $20.1 million in China, Japan, and the United Kingdom, respectively.

The Company’s earnings and profits from its foreign subsidiaries could be repatriated to the U.S., without incurring additional federal income tax. The Company determined that the balance of the Company’s undistributed earnings and profits from its foreign subsidiaries as of February 2, 2019, are considered indefinitely reinvested outside of the U.S., and if these funds were to be repatriated to the U.S., the Company would expect to incur an insignificant amount of state income taxes and foreign withholding taxes. The Company accrues for both state income taxes and foreign withholding taxes with respect to earnings and profits earned after February 2, 2019, in such a manner that these funds may be repatriated without incurring additional tax expense. Reconciliation between the statutory federal income tax rate and the effective tax rate is as follows:
| Fiscal 2023 |  | Fiscal 2022 |  | Fiscal 2021
U.S. Federal income tax rate | 21.0 | % |  | 21.0 | % |  | 21.0 | %
State income tax, net of U.S. federal income tax effect | 4.9 |  |  | 12.4 |  |  | 4.4 |

(1)U.S. branch operations in Puerto Rico were subject to tax at the full U.S. tax rates. As a result, income from these operations do not create reconciling items. (2)Refer to Note 13, “SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION,” for details on discrete income tax benefits and charges related to share-based compensation awards during Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2022, and Fiscal 2021. For certain years, the impact of various tax items on the Company's effective tax rate were amplified on a percentage basis at lower levels of consolidated pre-tax income (loss) in absolute dollars. The effective tax rate remains dependent on jurisdictional mix. The taxation of non-U.S. operations line items in the table above excludes items related to the Company's non-U.S. operations reported separately in the appropriate corresponding line items. For Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2022, and Fiscal 2021, the impact of taxation of non-U.S. operations on the Company's effective income tax rate was related to the Company's jurisdictional mix driven primarily by the Company’s operations within Switzerland.

(1)This table does not reflect deferred taxes classified within AOCL. As of February 3, 2024 and January 28, 2023, AOCL included deferred tax liabilities of $0.1 million and deferred tax assets of $0.9 million, respectively. As of February 3, 2024, the Company had deferred tax assets related to foreign and state NOL and credit carryforwards of $84.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, that could be utilized to reduce future years’ tax liabilities. If not utilized, a portion of the foreign NOL carryforwards will begin to expire in Fiscal 2025 and a portion of state NOL carryforwards will begin to expire in Fiscal 2026. Some foreign NOLs have an indefinite carryforward period. As of February 3, 2024, the Company did not have any deferred tax assets related to federal NOL and credit carryforwards that could be utilized to reduce future years’ tax liabilities. The valuation allowances for Fiscal 2023 and 2022 were $147.0 million and $130.6 million, respectively. The valuation allowances as of Fiscal 2023 have been established against deferred tax assets, primarily in Switzerland. All valuation allowances have been reflected through the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The valuation allowances will remain until there is sufficient positive evidence to release them, such positive evidence would include having positive income within the jurisdiction. In such case, the Company will record an adjustment in the period in which a determination is made. The Company continues to review the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis. Share-based Compensation Refer to Note 13, “SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION,” for details on income tax benefits and charges related to share-based compensation awards during Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021. Other The amount of uncertain tax positions as of February 3, 2024, January 28, 2023 and January 29, 2022, which would impact the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized and a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of uncertain tax positions, excluding accrued interest and penalties, are as follows:

The IRS is currently conducting an examination of the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for Fiscal 2023 and 2022 as part of the IRS’ Compliance Assurance Process program. The IRS examinations for Fiscal 2021 and prior years have been completed. State and foreign returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three to five years after the filing of the respective return. The Company typically has various state and foreign income tax returns in the process of examination, administrative appeals or litigation. The outcome of the examinations is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company believes that some of these audits and negotiations will conclude within the next 12 months and that it is reasonably possible the amount of uncertain income tax positions, including interest, may change by an immaterial amount due to settlement of audits and expiration of statues of limitations. The Company does not expect material adjustments to the total amount of uncertain tax positions within the next 12 months, but the outcome of tax matters is uncertain and unforeseen results can occur. Refer to Note 2, “SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Income Taxes,” for discussion regarding significant accounting policies related to the Company’s income taxes.
