4. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under ASC 820 as the exit price associated with the sale of an asset or transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Financial Instruments

Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. In addition, ASC 820 establishes this three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:

•	Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets.

•	Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

•	Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

In accordance with ASC 820, the following tables represent the fair value hierarchy for the Company’s financial assets (Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of February 2, 2019 and February 3, 2018:

Non-Financial Assets

The Company’s non-financial assets, which include intangible assets and property and equipment, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur and the Company is required to evaluate the non-financial instrument for impairment, a resulting asset impairment would require that the non-financial asset be recorded at the estimated fair value. During Fiscal 2016, the Company concluded the goodwill was impaired for the Hong Kong and China businesses, resulting in a $2.5 million charge included within impairment and restructuring charges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a result of the performance of those businesses and the Company’s exploration of alternatives, including the licensing of these markets to third-party operators. All other goodwill for the Company was not impaired as a result of the annual goodwill impairment test.

Certain long-lived assets were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs as defined in ASC 820. During Fiscal 2018, the Company recorded immaterial asset impairment charges. During Fiscal 2017, the Company recorded no asset impairment charges. During Fiscal 2016, certain long-lived assets related to the Company’s retail stores, goodwill and corporate assets were determined to be unable to recover their respective carrying values and were written down to their fair value, resulting in a loss of $20.6 million, which is recorded within impairment and restructuring charges within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the impaired assets after the recorded loss is an immaterial amount.

The fair value of the Company’s stores was determined by estimating the amount and timing of net future cash flows and discounting them using a risk-adjusted rate of interest. The Company estimates future cash flows based on its experience and knowledge of the market in which the store is located.
