Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | NOTE G — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Lease Agreements The Company leases warehousing, executive and sales facilities, retail stores, equipment and vehicles under operating leases with options to renew at varying terms. Leases with provisions for increasing rents have been accounted for on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. Certain leases provide for contingent rents, which are determined as a percentage of gross sales. The Company records a contingent rent liability in accrued expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the corresponding rent expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income when management determines that achieving the specified levels during the fiscal year is probable. The following schedule sets forth the future minimum rental payments for operating leases having non-cancelable lease periods in excess of one year at January 31, 2017:
Year Ending January 31, |  |  | Amount |
|  |  | (In thousands) |
2018 |  |  |  | $ | 95,882 |  |
2019 |  |  |  |  | 93,359 |  |
2020 |  |  |  |  | 86,243 |  |
2021 |  |  |  |  | 76,336 |  |
2022 |  |  |  |  | 63,379 |  |
Thereafter |  |  |  |  | 163,799 |  |
|  |  |  | $ | 578,998 |  |
Rent expense on the above operating leases for the years ended January 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $84.7 million, $75.6 million and $72.6 million, respectively. License Agreements The Company has entered into license agreements that provide for royalty payments ranging from 4% to 20% of net sales of licensed products. The Company incurred royalty expense (included in cost of goods sold) of approximately $139.0 million, $123.7 million and $109.6 million for the years ended January 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Contractual advertising expense, which is normally based on a percentage of net sales associated with certain license agreements (included in selling, general and administrative expense), was $39.2 million, $36.1 million and $32.1 million for the years ended January 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Based on minimum net sales requirements, future minimum royalty and advertising payments required under these agreements are:
