BASIS OF PRESENTATION | BASIS OF PRESENTATION Description of Business The Children’s Place, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is the largest pure-play children’s specialty apparel retailer in North America. The Company provides apparel, footwear, accessories, and other items for children and ‘tweens.’ The Company designs, contracts to manufacture, sells at retail and wholesale, and licenses to sell trend right, high-quality merchandise predominantly at value prices, primarily under the Company’s proprietary “The Children’s Place”, “Place”, “Baby Place”, “Gymboree”, and “Sugar & Jade” brand names. The Company classifies its business into two segments: The Children’s Place U.S. and The Children’s Place International. Included in The Children’s Place U.S. segment are the Company’s U.S. and Puerto Rico-based stores and revenue from its U.S.-based wholesale business. Included in The Children’s Place International segment are its Canadian-based stores, revenue from the Company’s Canadian-based wholesale business, as well as revenue from international franchisees. Each segment includes an e-commerce business located at www.childrensplace.com, www.gymboree.com, and www.sugarandjade.com. Terms that are commonly used in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements are defined as follows: •First Quarter 2022 — The thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2022 •First Quarter 2021 — The thirteen weeks ended May 1, 2021 •SEC — U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission •U.S. GAAP — Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States •FASB — Financial Accounting Standards Board •FASB ASC — FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which serves as the source for authoritative U.S. GAAP, except that rules and interpretive releases by the SEC are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants Basis of Presentation The unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. As of April 30, 2022, January 29, 2022 and May 1, 2021, the Company did not have any investments in unconsolidated affiliates. FASB ASC 810—Consolidation is considered when determining whether an entity is subject to consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company as of April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021, the results of its consolidated operations for the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021, consolidated comprehensive income for the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021, consolidated cash flows for the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021, and consolidated changes in stockholders’ equity for the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021. The consolidated balance sheet as of January 29, 2022 was derived from audited financial statements. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, the results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for a full fiscal year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2022. Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year is a 52-week or 53-week period ending on the Saturday on or nearest to January 31. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and amounts of revenues and expenses reported during the period. Actual results could differ from the assumptions used and estimates made by management, which could have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Critical accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include impairment of long-lived assets, income taxes, stock-based compensation, and inventory valuation. Recent Accounting Standards Updates There are no pending accounting standards updates that are currently expected to have a material impact on the Company.
