SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and include consolidated domestic and international subsidiaries. Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying footnotes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2016.
Related Parties
As of March 31, 2016, the Company is a majority-owned subsidiary of JAB Cosmetics B.V. (“JABC”). Both JABC and the shares of the Company are indirectly controlled by Lucresca SE, Agnaten SE and JAB Holdings B.V. (“JAB”). The Company does not generally enter into material transactions with related parties other than certain share transactions with JABC and certain executives as described in Note 14.
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 revenues and expenses during the period reported. Significant accounting policies that contain subjective management estimates and assumptions include those related to revenue recognition, the market value of inventory, the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities associated with acquisitions, the fair value of share-based compensation, pension and other post-employment benefit costs, the fair value of the Company’s reporting units, and the assessment of goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets for impairment, income taxes, derivatives and redeemable noncontrolling interests when calculating the impact on Earnings Per Share (“EPS”). Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions. Significant changes, if any, in those estimates and assumptions resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods.
Tax Information
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was (133.3)% and 15.8%, and for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was (25.3)% and 14.5%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 includes the net impact of the settlement with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) as described below. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 includes the positive impacts of the decrease in the accrual for unrecognized tax benefits, partially offset by the negative impact of a partial valuation allowance established for excess U.S. net deferred tax assets.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company reached final settlement with the IRS in connection with the 2004–2012 examination periods. The settlement primarily relates to the acquisition of the Calvin Klein fragrance business. In connection with the settlement, the Company recognized a tax benefit of approximately $193.9 of which $164.2 was mainly due to the recognition of additional deferred tax assets related to the basis of the Calvin Klein trademark, and approximately $29.7 resulted from the reduction of gross unrecognized tax benefits. Of the $193.9 tax benefit, $113.0 was offset by a valuation allowance due to on-going operating losses in the U.S.
The effective income tax rates vary from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to the effect of (i) jurisdictions with different statutory rates, (ii) adjustments to the Company’s unrealized tax benefits (“UTBs”) and accrued interest, (iii) non-deductible expenses, (iv) audit settlements and (v) valuation allowance changes.
As of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, the gross amount of UTBs was $194.2 and $342.6, respectively. As of March 31, 2016, the total amount of UTBs that, if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rate is $72.2. As of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, the liability associated with UTBs, including accrued interest and penalties, was $83.9 and $182.9, respectively, which was recorded in Income and other taxes payable and Other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total interest and penalties recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to UTBs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $0.7 and $0.7, and for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $2.7 and $(2.5), respectively. The total gross accrued interest and penalties recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015 was $8.5 and $15.2, respectively. On the basis of the information available as of March 31, 2016, it is reasonably possible that a decrease of up to $4.2 in UTBs may occur within 12 months as a result of projected resolutions of global tax examinations and a potential lapse of the applicable statutes of limitations.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance related to adjustments within the measurement period for business combinations. The amendment requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendment requires that the acquirer record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amendment also requires an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The Company early adopted this amendment during the third quarter of fiscal 2016. There was no impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for three and nine months ended March 31, 2016.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance amending several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. The amendments will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2018. Early adoption is permitted if the Company adopts all of the amendments within this guidance in the period of adoption. The methods of adopting the guidance vary by amendment. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the amendments will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance clarifying the accounting for a change in a counterparty for derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments. The amendment will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2018 using either a prospective or modified retrospective basis with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance requiring that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in its balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. This standard will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the standard will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance relating to the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial assets and liabilities. The new guidance primarily affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The accounting for other financial instruments, such as loans, investments in debt securities and financial liabilities is largely unchanged. The amendment will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2019. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance relating to the classification of deferred taxes. The recently issued guidance will require all deferred income tax liabilities and assets to be classified as non-current. The amendment will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2018 either on a prospective or retrospective accounting basis. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on the treatment of debt issuance costs. The guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. This amendment will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2017 using a retrospective approach.  Additionally, in August 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that implements a common revenue model that will enhance comparability across industries and require enhanced disclosures. The new standard introduces a five step principles based process to determine the timing and amount of revenue ultimately expected to be received. This amendment will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2019 with either retrospective or modified retrospective treatment applied. Early adoption is permitted for the Company beginning in fiscal 2018. In March 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance amending certain portions of this standard to clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance amending certain portions of this standard to clarify the considerations for identifying performance obligations and to clarify the implementation guidance for revenue recognized from licensing arrangements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
