Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Related Party | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS According to statements on form Schedule 13D filed with the SEC by ESL, ESL beneficially owned significant portions of both the Company's and Sears Holdings Corporation's outstanding shares of common stock. Therefore Sears Holdings Corporation, the Company's former parent company, is considered a related party both prior to and subsequent to the Separation. Prior to the Separation, Sears Holdings Corporation (including certain non-Lands’ End subsidiaries) and the Company entered into various agreements to, among other things: (i) support the Lands’ End Shops at Sears; (ii) provide various general corporate services; and (iii) support the Company's participation in the SYW program; and (iv) allow for the use of intellectual property or services. The amounts charged to the Company by Sears Holdings do not necessarily reflect the costs of obtaining the services from unaffiliated third parties or of the Company providing the applicable services itself. Management believes that such costs are reasonable; however, the Combined Financial Statements contained herein may not be indicative of the Company’s financial position, operating results, and cash flows in the future, or what they would have been if it had been a stand-alone company during all periods presented. In connection with the Separation, the Company entered into various agreements with Sears Holdings which, among other things, (i) govern specified aspects of the Company's relationship following the Separation, especially with regards to the Lands’ End Shops at Sears, and (ii) establish terms pursuant to which subsidiaries of Sears Holdings Corporation are providing services to us, including the International Buying Office under the Buying Agency Agreement. References to and descriptions of the agreements below represent the agreements entered into in connection with the Separation. See further descriptions of the transactions in the Company's 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The components of the transactions between the Company and Sears Holdings, which exclude pass-through payments to third parties, are as follows: Lands’ End Shops at Sears Related party costs charged by Sears Holdings to the Company related to Lands’ End Shops at Sears are as follows:
