LEVI STRAUSS & CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED AUGUST 25, 2024
NOTE 1: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
Levi Strauss & Co. (the “Company”) is one of the world’s largest brand-name apparel companies. The Company designs, markets and sells – directly or through third parties and licensees – products that include jeans, casual and dress pants, tops, shorts, skirts, dresses, jackets, activewear, footwear and related accessories for men, women and children around the world under the Levi’s®, Levi Strauss Signature™, Denizen®, Dockers® and Beyond Yoga® brands.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The interim consolidated financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned foreign and domestic subsidiaries, including the notes, have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) applicable to interim period financial statements and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended November 26, 2023, included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended August 25, 2024 may not be indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the year ending December 1, 2024.
The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday that is closest to November 30 of that year, although the fiscal years of certain foreign subsidiaries end on November 30. Each quarter of both fiscal years 2024 and 2023 consists of 13 weeks, with the exception of the fourth quarter of 2024, which will consist of 14 weeks. All references to years and quarters relate to fiscal years and quarters rather than calendar years and quarters.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Estimates are based upon historical factors, current circumstances and the experience and judgment of the Company’s management. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist in its evaluations. Changes in such estimates, based on more accurate future information, or different assumptions or conditions, may affect amounts reported in future periods.
Expofaro S.A.S Distributor Acquisition
In December 2023, the Company signed a purchase agreement to acquire all operating assets related to Levi’s® brands from Expofaro S.A.S, the Company’s former distributor in Colombia, for $31.9 million in cash. This includes 40 Levi’s® retail stores and one e-commerce site, distribution with the country’s multi-brand retailers, and the logistical operations within these markets. The total fair value of assets acquired was $31.9 million and include goodwill, inventory, intangible and fixed assets. The goodwill and definite-lived intangible assets recognized as a result of the acquisition were $15.9 million and $10.3 million, respectively. The transaction closed in the second quarter of 2024.
Distribution Center Conversion
On May 24, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party logistics provider to manage all aspects of the Company’s Dorsten, Germany distribution center. As of the second quarter of 2024, the Company received the first payment of $77.9 million from the provider for use of the Company’s warehouse equipment and technologies over the term of the agreement. The Company will maintain certain rights over the warehouse equipment and technologies and will retain the related equipment on the consolidated balance sheets. The upfront payment will be amortized as a reduction in the related distribution expenses over the expected term of the arrangement, which commenced in the second half of the year. The upfront

LEVI STRAUSS & CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)
FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED AUGUST 25, 2024
payment is recognized on the consolidated balance sheets in “Other accrued liabilities” and “Long-term employee related benefits and other liabilities” and the proceeds are recorded as an operating activity in “Net change in operating assets and liabilities” on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
On June 6, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party logistics provider to replace the Company’s Canton, Mississippi distribution center with a new distribution center. The Company will maintain certain rights over the warehouse, and warehouse equipment and technologies resulting in an Operating lease right-of-use asset and lease liability of $30.6 million in “Operating lease right-of-use assets, net” and “Operating lease liabilities” balances and a Financing lease right-of-use asset and lease liability of $14.0 million in “Other non-current assets” and “Long-term employee related benefits and other liabilities” balances on the consolidated balance sheets.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may be impaired. Impairment losses are measured and recorded for the excess of carrying value over its fair value, estimated based on expected future cash flows and other quantitative and qualitative factors. Property, plant and equipment, net includes accumulated depreciation of $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion as of August 25, 2024 and November 26, 2023, respectively.

In the third quarter of 2024, the Company recorded $11.1 million of asset impairment charges related to technology projects discontinued in connection with Project Fuel, which were recorded in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The Company also recorded an impairment charge of $9.1 million related to the Beyond Yoga® customer relationship intangible assets, which is included in “Goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges” in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. See Note 2 for additional information.

In the third quarter of 2023, the Company recorded $6.1 million of impairment charges related to capitalized internal-use software as a result of the decision to discontinue certain technology projects, as well as $3.7 million of impairment related to other discontinued projects.
Supplier Finance Program
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations in the first quarter of 2024.
The Company offers a supplier financing program which enables the Company’s suppliers, at their sole discretion, to sell their receivables (i.e., the Company’s payment obligations to suppliers) to a financial institution on a non-recourse basis in order to be paid earlier than current payment terms provide.
The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by the supplier’s participation in these arrangements. The Company’s payment terms to the financial institutions, including the timing and amount of payments, are based on the original supplier invoices. Our current payment terms with a majority of our suppliers are typically 90 days. The Company has not pledged any assets and does not provide guarantees under the supplier finance program. As such, the outstanding payment obligations under the Company’s supplier finance program are included within Accounts Payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company’s outstanding payment obligations under this program were $139.9 million as of August 25, 2024 and $113.4 million as of November 26, 2023.

Share Repurchases
During the three and nine months ended August 25, 2024, the Company repurchased 1.0 million and 3.3 million shares for $17.8 million and $59.7 million, plus broker’s commissions, respectively, in the open market. This equates to an average repurchase price of approximately $18.35 per share for the nine months ended August 25, 2024. During the nine months ended August 27, 2023, the Company repurchased 0.5 million shares for $8.1 million, plus broker's commissions, in the open market during the first quarter. This equates to an average repurchase price of approximately $17.97 per share. There were no shares repurchased in either the second or third quarters of 2023.
The Company accounts for share repurchases by charging entirely to retained earnings the excess of the repurchase price over the repurchased Class A common stock’s par value. All repurchased shares are retired and become authorized but unissued shares. The Company accrues for the shares purchased under the share repurchase plan based on the trade date. The Company may terminate or limit the share repurchase program at any time.
Reclassification
Certain amounts on the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income and statements of cash flows have been conformed to the August 25, 2024 presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
There have been no developments to recently issued accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures, from those disclosed in the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(1)Comprised of the Beyond Yoga® reporting unit goodwill only.
(2)For the nine months ended August 27, 2023 the company recorded a Beyond Yoga® goodwill noncash impairment charge of $75.4 million.
During the third quarter of 2024, as part of the Company’s annual review of the Beyond Yoga® reporting unit, the Company elected to perform a single step quantitative impairment test on the goodwill and indefinite lived trademark intangible assigned to the Beyond Yoga® reporting unit and performed impairment tests on the related customer relationship intangible assets. The Company engaged third-party valuation specialists and used industry accepted valuation models and criteria that were reviewed and approved by various levels of management.
The Company assessed the fair value of the Beyond Yoga® reporting unit as of the test date, May 27, 2024, using the discounted cash flow method under the income approach, utilizing estimated cash flows and a terminal value, discounted at a rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the cash flows. As a result of this assessment, we concluded that the carrying value of the Beyond Yoga® reporting unit exceeded the estimated fair value by $36.3 million, which was recorded as a noncash impairment charge to goodwill.
Prior to the assessment of the reporting unit, we concluded that the carrying values of the trademark and customer relationship intangible assets exceeded their estimated fair values. The trademark fair value was determined using the relief-from-royalty method to utilize the discounted projected future cash flows. Based on this assessment, we recorded a $66.0 million noncash impairment charge related to the Beyond Yoga® trademark. The customer relationship intangible assets fair values were determined using the multi-period excess earnings and distributor methods under the income approach. Based on these assessments, we recorded a $9.1 million noncash impairment charge related to the customer relationship intangible assets.
The significant assumptions used in the assessment of the fair value of the reporting unit included revenue growth rates, profit margins, operating expenses, capital expenditures, terminal value and a discount rate. The significant assumptions used in the assessment of the fair value of the trademark intangible asset included revenue growth rates, a discount rate and a royalty rate. The significant assumptions used in the assessment of the customer relationship intangible assets included revenues from existing customers and discount rates.

Total impairment charges for the nine months ended August 25, 2024 were $111.4 million and were recorded within “Goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges” on the accompanying consolidated statements of income. During 2024, the Company appointed new Beyond Yoga® executive management and implemented a new strategic plan for growth and expansion, resulting in an adverse impact on expected cash flows.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company recognized $5.5 million in goodwill impairment charges related to the footwear business in its Europe segment as a result of the decision to discontinue the category in connection with Project Fuel.
For the nine months ended August 27, 2023, the Company recognized impairment charges of $90.2 million related to the Beyond Yoga® acquisition including a $75.4 million impairment in goodwill and a $14.8 million impairment in the trademark intangible asset. The impairment resulted from incremental investments in the brand and team, and disciplined expansion in response to the current macroeconomic conditions, resulting in an adverse impact on expected cash flows, as well as an increase in discount rates.

counterparties are creditworthy financial institutions. See Note 4 for additional information.
Other Contingencies
Litigation. In the ordinary course of business, the Company has various claims, complaints and pending cases, including contractual matters, facility and employee-related matters, distribution matters, product liability matters, intellectual property matters, bankruptcy preference matters, and tax and administrative matters. The Company establishes loss provisions for these ordinary course claims as well as other matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not believe any of these pending claims, complaints and legal proceedings will have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Customs Duty Audits. The Company imports both raw materials and finished garments into all of its geographic regions and, as such, is subject to numerous countries’ complex customs laws and regulations with respect to its import and export activity. The Company has various pending audit assessments in connection with these activities. As of August 25, 2024, the Company has recorded certain reserves for these matters which are not material.
