Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation Our fiscal year is a 52-week or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to July 31. The fiscal years ending July 30, 2022 (“2022”), and July 31, 2021 (“2021”), consist of 52 weeks. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Stitch Fix, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries, and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP can be condensed or omitted. These financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for the fair statement of our financial information. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending July 30, 2022, or for any other interim period or for any other future year. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2021, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 27, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Report”).
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for inventory, stock-based compensation expense, income taxes, and revenue recognition. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Short-Term and Long-Term Investments | Short-Term and Long-Term Investments Our short-term and long-term investments have been classified and accounted for as available-for-sale securities. We determine the appropriate classification of our investments at the time of purchase and reevaluate the classification at each balance sheet date. Available-for-sale securities with maturities of 12 months or less are classified as short-term and available-for-sale securities with maturities greater than 12 months are classified as long-term. Our available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) in stockholders’ equity. The cost of securities sold is based upon the specific identification method. For debt securities with an amortized cost basis in excess of estimated fair value, we determine what amount of that deficit, if any, is caused by expected credit losses. The portion of the deficit attributable to expected credit losses is recognized in other (income) expense, net on our condensed consolidated statements of income. During the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022, we did not record any expected credit losses on our available-for-sale debt securities. We have elected to present accrued interest receivable separately from short-term and long-term investments on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Accrued interest receivable was $0.7 million and $1.0 million as of April 30, 2022, and July 31, 2021, respectively, and was recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets. We have also elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the estimation of expected credit losses on our available-for-sale securities and reverse accrued interest receivable through interest income (expense) when amounts are determined to be uncollectible. We did not write off any accrued interest receivable during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022.
Inventory, net | Inventory, net Inventory, net consists of finished goods which are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method. Gross inventory costs include both merchandise costs and in-bound freight costs. Inventory, net includes reserves for excess and slow-moving inventory we expect to write off based on historical trends, damaged inventory, and shrinkage. We estimate and accrue shrinkage as a percentage of inventory out to the client and damaged items at 100% of cost.
Leases | LeasesOur leasing portfolio consists of operating leases, which include lease arrangements for our corporate offices, fulfillment centers, and, to a lesser extent, equipment. Operating leases with a term greater than one year are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities at the commencement date. These balances are initially recorded at the present value of future minimum lease payments calculated using our incremental borrowing rate and expected lease term. Certain adjustments to our operating lease right-of-use assets may be required for items such as initial direct costs paid or incentives received.
Foreign Currency | Foreign CurrencyThe functional currency of our international subsidiary is the British pound sterling. For that subsidiary, we translate assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates, and average monthly exchange rates for revenues, costs, and expenses. We record translation gains and losses in AOCI as a component of stockholders’ equity. Net foreign exchange transaction gains and losses resulting from the conversion of the transaction currency to functional currency are recorded in other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition We generate revenue primarily from the sale of merchandise in a Fix and from Freestyle purchases. Clients create an online account on our website or mobile app, complete a style profile, and order a Fix or merchandise to be delivered on a specified date. Each Fix represents an offer made by us to the client to purchase merchandise. The client is charged a nonrefundable upfront styling fee before the Fix is shipped. As an alternative to the styling fee, we offer select clients the option to purchase a Style Pass. Style Pass clients pay a nonrefundable annual fee for unlimited Fixes that is credited towards merchandise purchases. If the offer to purchase merchandise is accepted, we charge the client the order amount for the accepted merchandise, net of the upfront styling fee or Style Pass annual fee. For each Fix, acceptance occurs when the client checks out the merchandise on our website or mobile app. We offer a discount to clients who purchase all of the items in the Fix. We recognize revenue through the following steps: (1) identification of the contract, or contracts, with the customer; (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determination of the transaction price; (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation. Our styling fee and Style Pass arrangements represent the option to purchase merchandise. These fees and arrangements are not distinct within the context of the contract with our Fix customers and therefore do not give rise to separate performance obligations. Both the upfront styling fee and Style Pass annual fee are included in deferred revenue until the performance obligation is satisfied when the client exercises his or her option to purchase merchandise (i.e., upon checkout of a Fix) or when the option(s) to purchase merchandise expire(s). Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods is transferred to the client. For a Fix, control is transferred when the client accepts or rejects the offer to purchase merchandise. Upon acceptance by purchasing one or more items within the Fix at checkout, the total amount of the order, including the upfront styling fee, is recognized as revenue. If none of the items within the Fix are accepted at checkout, the upfront styling fee is recognized as revenue at that time. The Style Pass annual fee is recognized at the earlier of (i) the time at which a client accepts and applies the Style Pass fee to an offer to purchase merchandise or (ii) upon expiry of the annual period. Under Style Pass arrangements, if a client does not accept any items within the Fix, the annual fee will continue to be deferred until it is applied to a future purchase or upon expiry of the annual period. If a client would like to exchange an item, we recognize revenue at the time the exchanged item is shipped, which coincides with the transfer of control to the customer. For a Freestyle purchase, control is transferred and revenue is recognized upon shipment to the client. We deduct discounts, sales tax, and estimated refunds to arrive at net revenue. Sales tax collected from clients is not considered revenue and is included in accrued liabilities until remitted to the taxing authorities. All shipping costs are accounted for in cost of goods sold and all handling costs are accounted for as fulfillment costs within selling, general, and administrative expense (“SG&A”), and are therefore not evaluated as a separate performance obligation. Discounts are recorded as a reduction to revenue when the order is accepted. We record a refund reserve based on our historical refund patterns. Our refund reserve, which is included in accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, was $10.8 million and $11.7 million as of April 30, 2022, and July 31, 2021, respectively. We have five types of contractual liabilities: (i) cash collections of upfront styling fees, which are included in deferred revenue and are recognized as revenue upon the earlier of application to a merchandise purchase or expiry of the offer, (ii) cash collections of Style Pass annual fees, which are included in deferred revenue and are recognized upon the earlier of application to a merchandise purchase or expiry of the Style Pass annual period, (iii) unredeemed gift cards, which are included in gift card liability and recognized as revenue upon usage or inclusion in gift card breakage estimates, (iv) referral credits, which are included in other current liabilities and are recognized as revenue when used, and (v) cash collections of Freestyle purchases, which are included in deferred revenue and are recognized as revenue upon shipment. We sell gift cards to clients and establish a liability based upon the face value of such gift cards. We reduce the liability and recognize revenue upon usage of the gift card. If a gift card is not used, we will recognize estimated gift card breakage revenue proportionately to customer usage of gift cards over the expected gift card usage period, subject to requirements to remit balances to governmental agencies. All commissions paid to third parties upon issuance of gift cards are recognized in SG&A as incurred, as on average, gift cards are used within a one-year period. Similarly, referral credits that are considered incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer are recognized in SG&A when issued, as on average, referral credits are used within a one-year period. We expect deferred revenue for upfront styling fees, Freestyle orders, and Style Pass annual fees to be recognized within one year. On average, gift card liability and other current liabilities are also recognized within one year.
Concentration of Credit Risks | Concentration of Credit Risks We are subject to concentrations of credit risk principally from cash and cash equivalents and investment securities. The majority of our cash is held by two financial institutions within the United States. Our cash balances held by these institutions may exceed federally insured limits. The associated risk of concentration for cash is mitigated by banking with credit-worthy institutions. The associated risk of concentration for cash equivalents and investments is mitigated by maintaining a diversified portfolio of highly rated instruments. No client accounted for greater than 10% of total revenue, net for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022, and May 1, 2021, respectively.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This update amends and simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions in existing guidance related to performing intraperiod tax allocation, calculating interim period taxes, and recognizing deferred taxes for investments. The update also provides new guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas. The Company adopted this guidance on August 1, 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
