Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Schottenstein Affiliates- As of January 30, 2016, the Schottenstein Affiliates, entities owned by or controlled by Jay L. Schottenstein, the executive chairman of the DSW Inc. Board of Directors, and members of his family, beneficially owned approximately 19% of outstanding DSW Inc. Common Shares, representing approximately 51% of the combined voting power of outstanding DSW Inc. Common Shares. As of January 30, 2016, the Schottenstein Affiliates beneficially owned 7.6 million Class A Common Shares and 7.7 million Class B Common Shares. The Company leases its fulfillment center and certain store locations owned by Schottenstein Affiliates and purchases services and products from Schottenstein Affiliates. Accounts receivable from and payables to affiliates principally result from commercial transactions or affiliate transactions and normally settle in the form of cash in 30 to 60 days. Related party balances are disclosed on the consolidated balance sheets. Corporate Office Headquarters and Distribution Center Acquisition- In fiscal 2012, DSW Inc. acquired 810 AC LLC, an Ohio limited liability company, from certain Schottenstein affiliates, which owned property that was previously leased by DSW Inc. for its corporate office headquarters, its distribution center and a trailer parking lot. DSW Inc. leases certain portions of the properties. DSW Inc. paid to sellers $72 million in cash, subject to credits and adjustments, for 810 AC LLC. As this was a transaction between entities under common control, as provided by ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, there was no adjustment to the historical cost carrying amounts of assets transferred to DSW Inc. The difference between the historical cost carrying amounts and the consideration of $72 million transferred was an equity transaction. DSW Inc. also reduced the cost basis of the assets by the balance of tenant allowances and deferred rent recorded related to the properties. Other- Purchases and services from related parties were $1.1 million, $0.9 million and $0.9 million in fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In fiscal 2013, reimbursements of $1.8 million were paid to a Schottenstein Affiliate in connection with DSW Inc.'s test sale of luxury merchandise, which were then primarily paid to unrelated vendors. License Agreement with Town Shoes- DSW Shoe Warehouse, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of DSW Inc., licenses use of its trade name and trademark, DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse, to its equity investee, Town Shoes, for a sales-based royalty. The license is exclusive and non-transferable for use in Canada. Town Shoes pays DSW Inc. a percentage of net sales from its Canadian DSW stores on a monthly basis. The Canadian DSW stores operate in a manner similar to DSW stores in the United States and are required to maintain the standards and specifications that DSW uses to operate its own stores. DSW Inc. classifies the royalty fee as net sales.
