Revenue From Contracts With Customers [Abstract] |
Revenue From Contract With Customer [Text Block] | REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS Adoption of ASC Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" The Company has adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts as of the date of application. The Company elected the practical expedient to not adjust customer consideration for the effects of a financing component given, at contract inception, the Company’s customers are expected to pay for goods in one year or less. The Company also elected the practical expedient to expense costs associated with obtaining customer contracts given the associated performance obligation is less than one year. The Company has elected the practical expedient to treat shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the good transfers to the customer as fulfillment activities. Revenue Recognition and Performance Obligations Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company identifies the performance obligation in the contract, determines the transaction price, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes revenue upon completion of the performance obligation. Revenue is recognized net of variable consideration and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Control of the Company's goods and services, and associated fixed revenue, are transferred to customers at a point in time. The Company’s contract revenue consist of wholesale revenue and consumer-direct revenue. Wholesale revenue is recognized for products sourced by the Company when control transfers to the customer generally occurring upon the purchase, shipment or delivery of branded products by or to the customer. Consumer-direct includes eCommerce revenue that is recognized for products sourced by the Company when control transfers to the customer once the related goods have been shipped and retail store revenue recognized at time of sale. The point of purchase or shipment was evaluated to best represent when control transfers based on the Company’s right of payment for the goods, the customer’s legal title to the asset, the transfer of physical possession and the customer has the risks and rewards of the goods. The Company holds agreements to license symbolic intellectual property with minimum guarantees or fixed consideration. The Company recognizes the fixed consideration using time as an appropriate measure of progress and recognizes royalties only when cumulative royalties exceed the minimum guarantee. The Company believes time is the appropriate measure of progress and best represents a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods under the contract. The Company has $52.2 million of remaining fixed transaction price under its license agreements as of March 31, 2018. The Company expects to recognize the fixed amount per the terms of its contracts over the course of time through December 2024. The Company has elected to omit the remaining variable consideration under its license agreements given the Company recognizes revenue equal to what it has the right to invoice and that amount corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance to date. The Company provides disaggregated revenue by sales channel including the wholesale and consumer-direct sales channels reconciled to the Company’s reportable operating segments. The wholesale channel includes royalty revenues given the similarity in the Company’s oversight and management, customer base, the performance obligation (footwear and apparel goods) and point in time completion of the performance obligation.

Reserves for Variable Consideration Revenue is recorded at the net sales price (“transaction price”), which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established. Components of variable consideration include trade discounts and allowances, product returns, customer markdowns, customer rebates and other sales incentives relating to the sale of the Company’s products. These reserves, as detailed below, are based on the amounts earned, or to be claimed on the related sales. These estimates take into consideration a range of possible outcomes which are probability-weighted in accordance with the expected value method for relevant factors such as current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of the respective underlying contracts. Revenue recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 related to the Company’s contract liabilities was nominal. The Company’s contract balances are as follows:
(In millions) | March 31, 2018 |  | December 30, 2017
Contract balances: |  |  |
Product returns reserve | $ | 13.3 |  |  | $ | 12.6 |
Customer rebates liability | 10.6 |  |  | 10.4 |
Customer markdowns reserve | 6.3 |  |  | 6.4 |
Other sales incentives reserves | 4.2 |  |  | 3.3 |
Customer advances liability | 5.4 |  |  | 6.7 |
The amount of variable consideration which is included in the transaction price may be constrained, and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized under the contract will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from initial estimates. If actual results in the future vary from initial estimates, the Company subsequently adjusts these estimates, which would affect net revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known. Trade Discounts and Allowances The Company provides customers with discounts which include trade discounts and allowances that are explicitly stated in contracts and are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. Product Returns Consistent with industry practice, the Company offers limited product return rights for damaged or other return scenarios. The Company estimates the amount of product sales that may be returned by customers and records this estimate as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized, and a reduction to trade receivables, net on the consolidated condensed balance sheet. The Company believes there is sufficient current and historical information to record an estimate of the expected value of product returns although actual returns could differ from recorded amounts. Rebates The Company accrues for customer rebates related to customers who purchase required volumes or meet other criteria. These reserves are established in the same period that the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and an establishment of a current liability on the consolidated condensed balance sheet. Markdowns Chargebacks represent the estimated reserve resulting from commitments to sell products to the Company’s customers at prices lower than the list prices charged to customers who directly purchase the product from the Company. Customers charge the Company for the difference between what they pay for the product and the ultimate selling price to the end consumer. The reserve is established in the same period that the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and a reduction to trade receivables, net on the consolidated condensed balance sheet. Other Sales Incentives The Company accrues for other customer allowances for certain customers that purchase required volumes or meet other criteria. These reserves are established in the same period that the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and a reduction to trade receivables, net on the consolidated condensed balance sheet depending on the nature of the item. Customer Advances The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable (contract assets), and customer advances (contract liabilities) on the consolidated condensed balance sheet. Generally, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets. However, the Company sometimes receives advances from customers, before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities.
