Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
FASB ASC 820—Fair Value Measurement provides a single definition of fair value, together with a framework for measuring it, and requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities.
This topic defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and establishes a three-level hierarchy, which encourages an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:
•Level 1 - inputs to the valuation techniques that are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
•Level 2 - inputs to the valuation techniques that are other than quoted prices, but are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly
•Level 3 - inputs to the valuation techniques that are unobservable for the assets or liabilities
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investments in the rabbi trust, accounts payable, and revolving loan are all short-term in nature. As such, their carrying amounts approximate fair value. The Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan assets and liabilities fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company stock included in the Deferred Compensation Plan is not subject to fair value measurement.
The Company’s assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include long-lived assets, such as intangible assets, fixed assets, and ROU assets. The Company reviews the carrying amounts of such assets when events indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Any resulting asset impairment would require that the asset be recorded at its fair value. The resulting fair value measurements of the assets are considered to fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The fair value of the Company’s long-lived assets is primarily calculated using a discounted cash-flow model directly associated with those assets, which consist principally of property and equipment and ROU assets. These assets are tested for impairment when events indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable.
The Company performed periodic quantitative impairment assessments of its long-lived assets, inclusive of ROU assets and recorded impairment charges of $5.6 million, $3.3 million, and $1.5 million during Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2022, and Fiscal 2021, respectively, primarily due to reductions in Gymboree sales forecasts. Impairment charges were primarily recorded in The Children’s Place U.S. segment.
Impairment of Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
The Company estimates the fair value of its indefinite-lived Gymboree tradename based on an income approach using the relief-from-royalty method. Estimating fair value using this method requires management to estimate future revenues, royalty rates, discount rates, long-term growth rates, and other factors in order to project future cash flows.
The Company performed its annual tradename impairment assessment of the Gymboree tradename as of December 31, 2023, in accordance with FASB ASC 350—Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Based on this assessment, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $29.0 million, primarily due to an increase in the discount rate used to value the tradename and reductions in Gymboree sales forecasts, which reduced the carrying value to its fair value of $41.0 million. The impairment charge was recorded in The Children’s Place U.S. segment.
