Customer in-house finance receivables

As discussed in Note 12, the Company retained certain customer in-house finance receivables prior to the date of the portfolio sale during the second quarter of Fiscal 2022. The Company accounted for the expected credit losses under ASC 326, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which is referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model. The allowance for credit losses related to these receivables was an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the estimated life of its credit card receivables that considered forecasts of future economic conditions in addition to information about past events and current conditions.

To estimate its allowance for credit losses, the Company segregated its credit card receivables into credit quality categories using the customers’ FICO scores. The following three industry standard FICO score categories were used:

•620 to 659 (Near Prime)

•580 to 619 (Subprime)

•Less than 580 (Deep Subprime)

The following table is a rollforward of the Company’s allowance for credit losses on customer in-house finance receivables:


(in millions)	Fiscal 2022
Beginning balance	$	25.5
Provision for credit losses	(1.0)
Write-offs	(5.5)
Recoveries	0.6
Reversal of allowance on receivables sold	(19.6)
Ending balance	$	—

Additions to the allowance for credit losses were made by recording charges to bad debt expense (credit losses) within SG&A within the consolidated statements of operations.

Interest income related to the Company’s customer in-house finance receivables was included within other operating income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. Accrued interest was included within the same line item as the respective principal amount of the customer in-house finance receivables in the consolidated balance sheets. The accrual of interest was discontinued at the time the receivable was determined to be uncollectible and written-off. The Company recognized $6.5 million of interest income on its customer in-house finance receivables during Fiscal 2022. Interest income recognition ceased at the date of the sale of the portfolio as noted above.
