Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block] DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates attributable to inventory purchases denominated in a foreign currency. Specifically, our Canadian subsidiary’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar, but it purchases inventory from suppliers in U.S. dollars. In order to mitigate the variability of cash flows associated with certain of these forecasted inventory purchases, we enter, from time-to-time, into foreign exchange forward contracts. These contracts typically mature within 12 months. We do not use forward contracts to engage in currency speculation, and we do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
The Company accounts for all of its derivatives and hedging activity under FASB ASC 815—Derivatives and Hedging.
Under the Company’s risk management policy and in accordance with guidance under the topic, in order to qualify for hedge accounting treatment, a derivative must be considered highly effective at offsetting changes in either the hedged item’s cash flows or fair value. Additionally, the hedge relationship must be documented to include the risk management objective and strategy, the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the risk exposure, and how hedge effectiveness will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively. The Company formally measures effectiveness of its hedging relationships both at the hedge inception and on an ongoing basis. The Company would discontinue hedge accounting under a foreign exchange forward
contract prospectively: (i) if management determines that the derivative is no longer highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of a hedged item, (ii) when the derivative expires or is terminated, (iii) if the forecasted transaction being hedged by the derivative is no longer probable of occurring, or (iv) if management determines that designation of the derivative as a hedge instrument is no longer appropriate.
All derivative instruments are presented at gross fair value on the consolidated balance sheets within either prepaid expenses and other current assets or accrued expenses and other current liabilities. As of May 1, 2021, the Company did not have any open foreign exchange forward contracts. As of May 2, 2020, the Company had foreign exchange forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $2.7 million, and the fair value of the derivative instruments was an asset of $1.4 million. As these foreign exchange forward contracts were measured at fair value using observable market inputs such as forward rates, the Company’s credit risk, and our counterparties’ credit risks, they were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Cash settlements related to these forward contracts were recorded in cash flows from operating activities within the consolidated statements of cash flows.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings within cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in earnings within selling, general, and administrative expenses, consistent with where the Company records realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses on transactions in foreign denominated currencies. There were no losses related to hedge ineffectiveness during the First Quarter 2021 or First Quarter 2020. Changes in fair value associated with derivatives that were not designated and qualified as cash flow hedges were recognized in earnings within selling, general, and administrative expenses. During each of the First Quarter 2021 and First Quarter 2020, there were no derivatives that qualified as cash flow hedges.
