SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and include all of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results specifically related to inventory reserves, realizability of deferred tax assets, goodwill and trademarks could materially differ from those estimates, which would impact the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents included investments in U.S. treasury bills, money market accounts, and/or cash deposits at various banks. The Company periodically has cash balances in excess of insured amounts. The Company has not experienced any losses on deposits in excess of insured amounts. Investments - At December 31, 2021, the Company held investments in highly liquid fixed income funds. The Company classified these investments as trading securities and reported them at fair value. The Company also invests in municipal bonds. All of the municipal bond investments are classified as held-to-maturity securities and reported at amortized cost pursuant to ASC 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities, as the Company has the intent and ability to hold all investments to maturity. See Note 5. Accounts Receivable – Trade accounts receivable arise from the sale of products on unsecured trade credit terms. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews all significant accounts with past due balances, as well as the collectability of other outstanding trade accounts receivable for possible write-off. It is the Company’s policy to write-off accounts receivable against the allowance account when receivables are deemed to be uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses in the accounts receivable balances. The Company determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience and other evidence currently available. Two of the Company’s large customers filed for bankruptcy during 2020. J.C. Penney Company, Inc. and affiliated entities (“JCP”) filed for bankruptcy in May 2020, and Tailored Brands, Inc. (“TB”) filed for bankruptcy in August 2020. The Company wrote off $4.3 million (net) in connection with these bankruptcy filings during 2020. Inventories - The majority of inventories are determined on a last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis. LIFO inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market. All other inventories are determined on a first-in, first-out basis (“FIFO”) basis, and are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory costs include the cost of shoes purchased from third-party manufacturers, as well as related freight and duty costs. The Company generally takes title to product at the time of shipping. See Note 6. Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation - Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Plant and equipment are depreciated using primarily the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows: buildings and improvements, 10 to 39 years; machinery and equipment, 3 to 15 years; furniture and fixtures, 5 to 15 years. For income tax reporting purposes, depreciation is calculated using applicable methods. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - Property, plant, equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets, along with other long-lived assets, are evaluated for impairment periodically whenever triggering events or indicators exist that the carrying values may not be fully recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its related estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset. During 2021, the Company recorded a $1.1 million impairment charge to write-off certain assets in connection with the closing of Florsheim Europe upon determination that the assets would no longer be recoverable. During 2020, as a result of the COVID pandemic, the Company recognized $1.9 million for the impairment of retail store fixed assets and $1.2 million for the impairment of operating lease right-of-use assets. These charges were recorded within selling and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Leases - The Company leases retail shoe stores, primarily located in the U.S. and Australia, as well as several office and distribution facilities worldwide. The Company determines whether an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception. All of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases, which are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has no finance leases. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date for leases exceeding 12 months. Minimum lease payments include only the fixed lease component of the agreement, as well as any variable rate payments that depend on an index, initially measured using the index at the lease commencement date. Lease terms may include options to renew when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. As the Company’s leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate was a hypothetical rate based on an understanding of what the Company could borrow from a third-party lender, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term, and in an amount that approximates the value of the Company’s future lease payments. The Company used a portfolio approach and applied a single discount rate to all of its leases. Operating lease costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and are included in selling and administrative expenses. Variable lease payments that do not depend on a rate or index, payments associated with non-lease components, and short-term rentals (leases with terms less than 12 months) are expensed as incurred. See Note 8. Goodwill - Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over fair value of identifiable net assets acquired from a business acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if indicators of impairment are present. The Company’s goodwill primarily resulted from the 2011 acquisition of the BOGS and Rafters brands, and, to a lesser extent, the 2021 acquisition of the Forsake brand. See Note 9. Intangible Assets (excluding Goodwill) - Other intangible assets consist of customer relationships and trademarks. Customer relationships are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Trademarks are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicates the carrying value may not be recoverable. See Note 9. Life Insurance – Life insurance policies are recorded at the amount that could be realized under the insurance contracts as of the balance sheet date. These assets are included within other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 10. Income Taxes - Deferred income taxes are provided on temporary differences arising from differences in the bases of assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates in effect. Tax rate changes affecting deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized in income at the enactment date. The Company records interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits within interest expense and provision for income taxes, respectively. See Note 14. Revenue Recognition – The Company’s revenue contracts represent a single performance obligation to sell its products to its customers. Sales are recorded at the time control of the product is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the products. Wholesale revenue is generally recognized upon shipment of the product, as that is when the customer obtains control of the promised goods. Shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the product transfers to the customer are treated as fulfillment activities, not as a separate performance obligation. Retail revenue is generated primarily from the sale of footwear to customers through the Company’s websites and at retail locations. For sales made through the Company’s websites, revenue is recognized upon shipment to the customer. For in-store sales, the Company recognizes revenue at the point of sale. Sales taxes collected from website or retail sales are excluded from the Company’s reported net sales. Revenue from third-party licensing agreements is recognized in the period earned. Licensing revenues were $1.7 million in 2021 and $1.2 million in 2020. All revenue is recorded net of estimated allowances for returns and discounts; these revenue offsets are accrued for at the time of sale. The Company’s estimates of allowances for returns and discounts are based on such factors as specific customer situations, historical experience, and current and expected economic conditions. The Company evaluates the reserves and the estimation process and makes adjustments when appropriate. Generally, payments from customers are received within 90 days following the sale. The Company’s contracts with customers do not have significant financing components or significant prepayments from customers, and there is no non-cash consideration. The Company does not have unbilled revenue, and there are no contract assets and liabilities. Shipping and Handling Fees - The Company classifies shipping and handling fees billed to customers as sales. Shipping and handling expenses incurred by the Company are included in selling and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. See “Selling and Administrative Expenses” below. Cost of Sales - The Company’s cost of sales includes the cost of products and inbound freight and duty costs. Selling and Administrative Expenses - Selling and administrative expenses primarily include salaries and commissions, advertising costs, employee benefit costs, distribution costs (e.g., receiving, inspection, warehousing, shipping, and handling costs), rent and depreciation. Consolidated distribution costs were $15.5 million in 2021 and $14.8 million in 2020. Advertising Costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising costs were $9.7 million and $7.6 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively. Advertising expenses are primarily included in selling and administrative expenses. Foreign Currency Translations - The Company accounts for currency translations in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. The Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries’ local currencies are the functional currencies under which the balance sheet accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at fiscal year-end and income and expense accounts are translated at the weighted average rates of exchange in effect during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are recognized as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is a component of equity. Foreign Currency Transactions - Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in other income, net, in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Net foreign currency transaction gains and losses were not material to the Company’s financial statements in 2021 and 2020. Financial Instruments – The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Florsheim Australia, had foreign exchange contracts outstanding to buy $3.5 million U.S. dollars at a price of approximately $4.7 million Australian dollars. These contracts expire in 2022. Realized gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts are related to the purchase and sale of inventory and therefore are included in the Company’s net sales or cost of sales. In 2021 and 2020, realized gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts were not material to the Company’s financial statements. Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of restricted stock and options to purchase common stock. Diluted earnings per share includes any dilutive effects of restricted stock and options to purchase common stock. See Note 17. Comprehensive Income (Loss) – Comprehensive income (loss) includes net earnings (loss) and changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Comprehensive income (loss) is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. See Note 13 for more details regarding changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Share-Based Compensation - At December 31, 2021, the Company had two share-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 19. The Company accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The Company’s policy is to estimate the fair market value of each option award granted on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company estimates the fair value of each restricted stock award based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock price on the grant date. The resulting compensation cost for both the options and restricted stock is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the respective awards. Concentration of Credit Risk – There was one individual customer accounts receivable balance outstanding that represented 13% of the Company’s gross accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2021. There was one individual customer accounts receivable balance outstanding that was 15% of the Company’s gross accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2020. There were no individual customers with sales above 10% of the Company’s total sales in 2021 and 2020. New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12 Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This guidance removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This guidance also clarifies and simplifies other areas of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provided optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. These amendments are effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurements of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments, and applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases, and trade accounts receivable as well as certain off-balance sheet credit exposures, such as loan commitments. The guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings/(deficit) in the period of adoption. This ASU will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
