Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


1. NATURE OF BUSINESS

Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (“A&F”), a company incorporated in Delaware in 1996, through its subsidiaries (collectively, A&F and its subsidiaries are referred to as “Abercrombie & Fitch” or the “Company”), is a global multi-brand omnichannel specialty retailer, whose products are sold primarily through its Company-owned store and digital channels, as well as through various third-party wholesale, franchise and licensing arrangements. The Company offers a broad assortment of apparel, personal care products and accessories for men, women and kids under the Hollister, Abercrombie & Fitch and abercrombie kids brands. The brands share a commitment to offering unique products of enduring quality and exceptional comfort that allow customers around the world to express their own individuality and style. The Company primarily has operations in North America, Europe and Asia, among other regions.


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include historical financial statements of, and transactions applicable to, the Company and reflect its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company has interests in an Emirati business venture and in a Kuwaiti business venture with Majid al Futtaim Fashion L.L.C. (“MAF”), each of which meets the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of these VIEs; therefore, the Company has consolidated the operating results, assets and liabilities of these VIEs, with MAF’s portion of net income presented as net income attributable to noncontrolling interests (“NCI”) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and MAF’s portion of equity presented as NCI on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Fiscal year

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31. This typically results in a fifty-two week year, but occasionally gives rise to an additional week, resulting in a fifty-three week year. Fiscal years are designated in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes, as well as the remainder of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, by the calendar year in which the fiscal year commences. All references herein to the Company’s fiscal years are as follows:
Fiscal yearYear endedNumber of weeks
Fiscal 2019February 1, 202052
Fiscal 2020January 30, 202152

Interim financial statements

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of October 31, 2020, and for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, are unaudited and are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto contained in A&F’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2019 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2020. The February 1, 2020 consolidated balance sheet data, included herein, were derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to state fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for Fiscal 2020.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved with estimates, actual results may differ. The extent to which the current outbreak of coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) impacts the Company’s business and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors including, but not limited to: the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the length or frequency of store closures, and the extent to
9
Table of Contents
which COVID-19 will impact worldwide macroeconomic conditions including interest rates, the speed of the economic recovery, and governmental, business and consumer reactions to the pandemic. The Company’s assessment of these, as well as other factors, could impact management's estimates and result in material impacts to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

Recent accounting pronouncements

The Company reviews recent accounting pronouncements on a quarterly basis and has excluded discussion of those not applicable to the Company and those that did not have, or are not expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. IMPACT OF COVID-19

Recent developments

The Company has seen, and may continue to see, material adverse impacts as a result of COVID-19. The extent of future impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, including the duration and impact on overall customer demand, are uncertain as current circumstances are dynamic and depend on future developments, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of COVID- 19 and the availability and acceptance of an effective vaccine or medical treatments.

In January 2020, the Company began to experience business disruptions in the Asia-Pacific (“APAC”) region as a result of COVID-19. In February 2020, the situation escalated as the scope of COVID-19 worsened beyond the APAC region, with the United States (the “U.S.”) and the Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) region experiencing significant outbreaks. In March 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak was declared to be a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. In response to COVID-19, certain governments have imposed travel restrictions and local statutory quarantines and the Company has recommended associates who are able to perform their role remotely continue to do so. The Company is reacting to COVID-19 on a daily basis, including by conforming to local government guidance and monitoring developments in government legislation or other government actions in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. The Company has also implemented a range of precautionary health and safety measures with the well-being of the Company’s customers, associates and business partners in mind.

As a result of COVID-19, in January 2020, the Company temporarily closed the majority of its stores in the APAC region and in March 2020, the Company temporarily closed its stores across brands in North America and the EMEA region. The majority of APAC stores were reopened during March 2020, and the Company began to reopen stores in North America and the EMEA region on a rolling basis in late April 2020. As of October 31, 2020, approximately 97% of Company-operated stores had reopened for in-store service, although many with modified operating hours. The Company plans to follow the guidance of local governments to determine when it can reopen stores that have been closed due to COVID-19 and to evaluate whether further store closures will be necessary.

The Company’s digital operations across brands have continued to serve the Company’s customers during this unprecedented period of temporary store closures as the Company’s distribution centers implemented enhanced cleaning and social distancing measures in order to remain operational. In response to elevated digital demand during this period, the Company has increased its omnichannel capabilities by continuing to offer Purchase-Online-Pickup-in-Store, including curbside pick-up at a majority of U.S. locations, and by utilizing ship-from-store capabilities. In addition, to prepare for the Fiscal 2020 holiday season, the Company has entered into a short-term lease for an additional distribution center and has partnered with incremental carriers.

Impact of COVID-19

The Company has seen, and may continue to see, material reductions in sales across brands and regions as a result of COVID-19. Total net sales decreased approximately 5% and 18% for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2020
10
Table of Contents
as compared to the comparable periods ended November 2, 2019, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in total net sales was primarily driven by temporary widespread store closures and a decline in traffic as compared to the previous year as a result of COVID-19. The year-over-year decline in store sales was partially offset by digital sales growth of approximately 43% and 42% for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2020 as compared to the comparable periods ended November 2, 2019, respectively.

Primarily as a result of COVID-19 and the temporary closure of the Company’s stores, the Company recognized $14.8 million of charges to reduce the carrying value of inventory in cost of sales, exclusive of depreciation and amortization on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020.

During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2020, reductions in revenue have not been offset by proportional decreases in expense, as the Company continued to incur store occupancy costs such as operating lease costs, net of rent abatements agreed upon during the period, depreciation expense, and certain other costs such as compensation, net of government payroll relief, and administrative expenses resulting in a negative effect on the relationship between the Company’s costs and revenues. During this period, the Company suspended rent payments for a significant number of stores that were closed, and continues to engage with its landlords to find a mutually beneficial and agreeable path forward. The Company has elected to account for all qualifying lease concessions, those that are a direct consequence of COVID-19 and that result in revised lease consideration that is substantially the same or less than the original consideration, as if the enforceable rights and obligations associated with the concession existed in the original lease agreement. Rent abatements associated with such concessions are recognized in variable lease cost. Lease concessions granted as part of an agreement that substantially increases the total consideration as a result of the inclusion of additional terms, such as rent payments associated with a lease term extension, are treated as lease modifications. For stores where the Company suspended payments, the Company reclassified related amounts from operating lease liability to accrued expenses in the period during which rent was due, while continuing to recognize operating lease cost in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), which among other things, provides refundable employee retention tax credits for wages paid to employees who are unable to work during the COVID-19 outbreak and the deferral of the employer–paid portion of social security taxes. Similar relief programs have also been established throughout the EMEA and APAC regions. Based on the Company's evaluation of the CARES Act and legislation across regions, the Company qualifies for certain payroll tax credits, and such government subsidies have been treated as offsets to the related operating expenses when recognized. During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2020, the Company recognized qualified payroll tax credits reducing payroll expenses by approximately $2.8 million and $14.7 million, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), The Company intends to continue to defer qualified payroll and other tax payments as permitted by the CARES Act and other regional legislation.

The Company also recognized asset impairment charges related to the Company’s right-of-use assets and property and equipment of $6.3 million and $57.3 million during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2020, respectively, which were principally the result of the impact of COVID-19 on store cash flows. Refer to Note 9, “ASSET IMPAIRMENT,” for additional information.

In addition, the Company has also experienced other material impacts as a result of COVID-19, such as deferred tax valuation allowances and other tax charges during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2020, adversely impacting results by $77.4 million. Refer to Note 11, “INCOME TAXES,” for additional information.

Balance sheet, cash flow and liquidity

During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2020, the Company has taken various actions to preserve liquidity and manage cash flows in order to best position the business for key stakeholders, including (i) partnering with merchandise and non-merchandise vendors in regards to payment terms; (ii) tightly managing inventory receipts to align inventory with expected market demand; (iii) significantly reducing expenses to better align operating costs with sales; and (iv) temporarily suspending its share repurchase program in March 2020 and its dividend program in May 2020. In addition, despite the Company's recent history of partnering with its vendors regarding payment terms, certain payment term extensions were temporary and certain previously deferred payments have since been made. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain extended payment terms or continue to defer payments, which may result in incremental operating cash outflows in future periods.

As a precautionary measure in response to COVID-19, in March 2020, the Company borrowed $210.0 million under its senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) to improve its near-term cash position and withdrew the majority of excess funds from the overfunded Rabbi Trust assets, providing the Company with $50.0 million of additional cash. In July 2020, the Company completed a private offering of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes (the “Senior Secured Notes”) and used the net proceeds to repay all outstanding borrowings under the Company’s term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”), to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility and to pay fees and expenses in connection with such repayments and the offering. Refer to Note 12, “BORROWINGS,” and Note 10, “ RABBI TRUST ASSETS,” for additional information.

As of October 31, 2020, the Company had liquidity of $1.158 billion as compared to $913.8 million as of February 1, 2020, comprised of cash and equivalents and actual incremental borrowing available to the Company under the ABL Facility.

6. FAIR VALUE

Fair value is 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. The inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized based on a three-level hierarchy. The three levels of inputs to measure fair value are as follows:
•Level 1—inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities that are available in active markets that the Company can access at the measurement date.
•Level 2—inputs are other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for assets or liabilities, directly or indirectly.
•Level 3—inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable.

The lowest level of significant input determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy. The three levels of the hierarchy and the distribution of the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as of October 31, 2020 and February 1, 2020 were as follows:
