Defined Benefit Plan [Abstract] |
Defined Benefit Plans | The Company maintains defined benefit plans for certain employees primarily in the U.S. and Switzerland. In accordance with authoritative guidance for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans, an asset for a plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status is recognized in the consolidated balance sheets; plan assets and obligations that determine the plan’s funded status are measured as of the end of the Company’s fiscal year; and changes in the funded status of defined benefit postretirement plans are recognized in the year in which they occur. Such changes are reported in other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Company’s pension obligations and related costs are calculated using actuarial concepts, within the authoritative guidance framework, and are considered Level 3 inputs as defined in Note 20. The Company uses the corridor approach to amortize unrecognized actuarial gains or losses over the average remaining service life of active participants. The life expectancy, estimated retirement age, discount rate, estimated future compensation and expected return on plan assets are important elements of expense and/or liability measurement. These critical assumptions are evaluated annually which enables expected future payments for benefits to be stated at present value on the measurement date. If actual results are not consistent with actuarial assumptions, the amounts recognized for the defined benefit plans could change significantly. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan On August 23, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) which became effective January 1, 2006. The SERP provides select employees who satisfy certain eligibility requirements with certain benefits upon retirement, termination of employment, death, disability or a change in control of the Company, in certain prescribed circumstances. As a non-qualified pension plan, no dedicated funding of the SERP is required; however, the Company has made periodic payments into insurance policies held in a rabbi trust to fund the expected obligations arising under the non-qualified SERP. The amount of any future payments into the insurance policies, if any, may vary depending on investment performance of the trust. The cash surrender values of the insurance policies were $61.7 million and $64.5 million as of February 2, 2019 and February 3, 2018, respectively, and were included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. As a result of changes in the value of the insurance policy investments, the Company recorded unrealized gains (losses) of $(1.1) million, $7.7 million and $6.9 million in other income and expense during fiscal 2019, fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017, respectively. The Company assumed a discount rate of approximately 3.8% and 3.5% for the years ended February 2, 2019 and February 3, 2018, respectively, as part of the actuarial valuation performed to calculate the projected benefit obligation, based on the timing of cash flows expected to be made in the future to the participants, applied to high quality yield curves. The Company also considers recent updates to the mortality tables and mortality improvement scale published by the Society of Actuaries in developing its best estimate of the expected mortality rates for its plan participants. As of February 2, 2019, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) included actuarial losses of $0.1 million that are expected to be amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic defined benefit pension cost in fiscal 2020. Aggregate benefits projected to be paid in the next five fiscal years are approximately $1.7 million in fiscal 2020, $2.9 million in fiscal 2021, $3.9 million for each year from fiscal 2022 to fiscal 2024. Aggregate benefits projected to be paid in the five fiscal years following fiscal 2024 amount to $18.3 million. Foreign Pension Plans In certain foreign jurisdictions, primarily in Switzerland, the Company is required to guarantee the returns on Company sponsored defined contribution plans in accordance with local regulations. These plans are typically government-mandated defined contribution plans that provide employees with a minimum investment return, and as such, are treated under pension accounting in accordance with authoritative guidance. The minimum investment return for our Swiss pension plan was 1.00% during calendar 2018 and calendar 2017. Under the Swiss pension plan, both the Company and certain of its employees with annual earnings in excess of government determined amounts are required to make contributions into a fund managed by an independent investment fiduciary. The Company’s contributions must be made in an amount at least equal to the employee’s contribution. Minimum employee contributions are based on the respective employee’s age, salary and gender. As of February 2, 2019 and February 3, 2018, actuarial assumptions used by the Company to calculate the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of the plans assets related to its Swiss pension plan included discount rates of 0.70% and 0.60%, respectively, and expected returns on plan assets of 1.20% and 1.40%, respectively. As of February 2, 2019, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) included actuarial losses of $0.4 million that are expected to be amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic defined benefit pension cost in fiscal 2020. The components of net periodic defined benefit pension cost to accumulated comprehensive income (loss) for fiscal 2019 related to the Company’s defined benefit plans are as follows (in thousands):

1 | During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company early adopted authoritative guidance which addresses certain stranded income tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive loss resulting from the Tax Reform enacted in December 2017. As a result, the Company recorded a cumulative adjustment to increase retained earnings by $1.4 million with a corresponding reduction to accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the Company’s SERP.

1 | The SERP is a non-qualified pension plan and hence the insurance policies are not considered to be plan assets. Accordingly, the table above does not include the insurance policies with cash surrender values of $61.7 million and $64.5 million as of February 2, 2019 and February 3, 2018, respectively.
2 | The net liability was included in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets depending on the expected timing of payments.
