Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation and New Accounting Guidance | Basis of Presentation and New Accounting Guidance Description of the Business Guess?, Inc. (the “Company” or “GUESS?”) designs, markets, distributes and licenses a leading lifestyle collection of contemporary apparel and accessories for men, women and children that reflect the American lifestyle and European fashion sensibilities. The Company’s designs are sold in GUESS? owned stores, to a network of wholesale accounts that includes better department stores, selected specialty retailers and upscale boutiques and through the Internet. GUESS? branded products, some of which are produced under license, are also sold internationally through a series of retail store licensees and wholesale distributors. Basis of Presentation In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of November 2, 2019 and February 2, 2019, the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss) and stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they have been condensed and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended November 2, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2019. The three and nine months ended November 2, 2019 had the same number of days as the three and nine months ended November 3, 2018. All references herein to “fiscal 2020,” “fiscal 2019” and “fiscal 2018” represent the results of the 52-week fiscal year ending February 1, 2020, the 52-week fiscal year ended February 2, 2019 and the 53-week fiscal year ended February 3, 2018, respectively. Reclassifications The Company has made certain reclassifications to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation within the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes the majority of its revenue from its direct-to-consumer (brick-and-mortar retail stores and concessions as well as e-commerce) and wholesale distribution channels at a point in time when it satisfies a performance obligation and transfers control of the product to the respective customer. The Company also recognizes royalty revenue from its trademark license agreements. The Company’s trademark license agreements represent symbolic licenses that are dependent on the Company’s continued support over the term of the license agreement. The amount of revenue that is recognized from the licensing arrangements is based on sales-based royalty and advertising fund contributions as well as specific fixed payments, where applicable. The Company’s trademark license agreements customarily provide for a multi-year initial term ranging from three to ten years, and may contain options to renew prior to expiration for an additional multi-year period. The unrecognized portion of upfront payments is included in deferred royalties in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities depending on the short or long-term nature of the payments to be recognized. As of November 2, 2019, the Company had $6.7 million and $11.1 million of deferred royalties related to these upfront payments included in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities, respectively. This compares to $6.4 million and $15.5 million of deferred royalties related to these upfront payments included in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities, respectively, at February 2, 2019. During the three and nine months ended November 2, 2019, the Company recognized $3.1 million and $9.2 million in net royalties related to the amortization of the deferred royalties, respectively. During the three and nine months ended November 3, 2018, the Company recognized $3.6 million and $10.5 million in net royalties related to the amortization of the deferred royalties, respectively. Refer to Note 8 for further information on disaggregation of revenue by segment and country. Other Assets During fiscal 2019, the Company invested $8.3 million in a privately-held apparel company and holds a 30% minority interest. The Company’s ownership in this company is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company recognized its proportionate share of net losses of $3.9 million and $6.8 million in other expense in its condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) during the three and nine months ended November 2, 2019. Sale of Australian Stores During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Australian retail locations to the Company’s wholesale distributor in the region for approximately AUD$7.1 million (US$4.9 million), subject to certain adjustments, and recognized a loss on the sale of approximately AUD$1.2 million (US$0.8 million). As per the terms of the agreement, the wholesale distributor entered into a promissory note with the Company to make periodic payments on the sale through August 2021. As of November 2, 2019, the Company included AUD$1.8 million (US$1.3 million) and AUD$5.3 million (US$3.6 million) in accounts receivable, net and other assets, respectively, in its condensed consolidated balance sheet based on the timing of the payments. European Commission Fine During the quarter ended November 3, 2018, the Company recognized charges of €37.0 million ($42.4 million) related to an estimated fine imposed on the Company by the European Commission related to its inquiry concerning possible violations of certain European Union competition rules by the Company. In December of fiscal 2019, the European Commission concluded its investigation and imposed a cumulative fine of €39.8 million ($45.6 million), which the Company paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. New Accounting Guidance Changes in Accounting Policies In February 2016, the FASB issued a comprehensive new lease standard which superseded previous lease guidance. The standard requires a lessee to recognize an asset related to the right to use the underlying asset and a liability that approximates the present value of the lease payments over the term of contracts that qualify as leases under the new guidance. The standard also requires expanded disclosures surrounding leases. The Company adopted this guidance as of February 3, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach and recorded a cumulative adjustment to increase retained earnings by approximately $0.3 million, net of taxes, with no restatement of prior periods. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allows the Company to carry forward historical lease classification. As of the adoption date, the Company recorded operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities of approximately $1.0 billion. The standard did not materially impact the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income or cash flows. Refer to Note 2 for the Company’s expanded disclosures on leases. In August 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to better align the results of hedge accounting with an entity’s risk management activities. This guidance eliminated the requirement to separately measure and report ineffectiveness for instruments that qualify for hedge accounting and generally requires that the entire change in the fair value of such instruments ultimately be presented in the same line as the respective hedge item. As a result, there is no interest component recognized for the ineffective portion of instruments that qualify for hedge accounting, but rather all changes in the fair value of such instruments are included in other comprehensive income (loss). The guidance also reduced the overall complexity of the hedge accounting model, including broadening the scope of risks eligible to qualify for hedge accounting, easing documentation and effectiveness assessment requirements, modifying the treatment of components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and updating disclosure requirements. In October 2018, the FASB clarified the new hedge accounting guidance by allowing the Secured Overnight Financing Rate to be eligible as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for purposes of applying hedge accounting. The Company adopted this guidance as of February 3, 2019. The adoption of this guidance resulted in a decrease in retained earnings and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of approximately $2.0 million. Approximately $1.4 million of this gain will be recognized in cost of product sales during fiscal 2020, on a pre-tax basis. Recently Issued Accounting Guidance In June 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. This guidance replaces the current “as incurred” loss model with an “expected loss” model which requires the recognition of an allowance for credit losses expected to be incurred over an asset’s lifetime. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts impacting the collectibility of the reported amounts. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2021. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2018, which was the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2020. The standard will require entities to record a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Although the Company is in the process of finalizing its evaluation of this guidance, the Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements other than requiring enhanced disclosures. In January 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to simplify the testing for goodwill impairment by removing step two from the goodwill testing. Under current guidance, if the fair value of a reporting unit is lower than its carrying amount (step one), an entity would calculate an impairment charge by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount (step two). The implied fair value of goodwill was calculated by deducting the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the respective reporting unit from the reporting unit’s fair value as determined under step one. This guidance instead provides that an impairment charge should be recognized based on the difference between a reporting unit’s fair value and its carrying value. This guidance also does not require a qualitative test to be performed on reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. However, entities need to disclose any reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts that have goodwill and the amount of goodwill allocated to each. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2021, with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2021 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s related disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its related disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The guidance provides criteria for determining which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and which costs to expense. The capitalized implementation costs are required to be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement. The guidance also clarifies the presentation requirements for reporting such costs in the entity’s financial statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2021, with early adoption permitted. Although the impact from the adoption of this guidance will depend on the composition of the Company’s cloud computing arrangements in place at that time, the adoption of this guidance is currently not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements other than the reclassification of implementation costs in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet and requiring enhanced disclosures.
