Description of the business
Description of the business
— Dave & Buster’s Entertainment, Inc. (“D&B Entertainment”) is a Delaware corporation formed in June 2010. References to the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refers to D&B Entertainment, any predecessor companies, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Dave & Buster’s Holdings, Inc. (“D&B Holdings”), a holding company which owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of Dave & Buster’s, Inc. (“D&B Inc”), the operating company. The Company, headquartered
in Coppell, Texas
, is a leading operator of high-volume entertainment and dining venues (“stores”) in North America for adults and families under the name “Dave & Buster’s”. The Company operates its business as one operating and one reportable segment.
During fiscal 2021, we opened five new stores, including one store in Cary, North Carolina that was closed and relocated during the fourth quarter. During fiscal 2020, we opened six new stores, and management made the decision to not
re-open
two stores located in the Chicago, Illinois area and Houston, Texas area, which were at or near the end of their respective lease terms. At January 30, 2022, we owned and operated 144 stores located in 40 states, Puerto Rico and one Canadian province.
The Company’s two stores located in the Canadian province of Ontario generated revenues of approximately $6,858, $2,896, and $18,649 in fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. At January 30, 2022, less than 2.0% of our long-lived assets were located outside of the United States.
COVID-19 Considerations
COVID-19
Considerations
— In March 2020, a novel strain of coronavirus
(“COVID-19”)
outbreak was declared a global pandemic and a National Public Health Emergency. Shortly after the national emergency declaration, state and local officials began placing restrictions on businesses, some of which allowed
To-Go
or curbside service only while others limited capacity in the dining room or
Midway
. By March 20, 2020, all our
137
operating stores were temporarily closed. On April 30, 2020, our first store
re-opened
to the public, and by the end of fiscal 2020,
107
of our
140
stores were open and operating in limited capacity. The Company
re-opened
the remaining
33
stores that had been temporarily closed by August 1, 2021, the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, our two Canadian stores temporarily closed due to the resurgence, and shortly after the end of our fiscal year, the
two
 
stores
re-opened
with limited operations.
During fiscal 2020, the Company negotiated with landlords and other vendors to negotiate relief from cash payments under existing lease and trade payable obligations, extending or reducing payment terms with several vendors. A total of 126 initial rent relief agreements related to our operating locations and former corporate headquarters were executed during fiscal 2020, and a second phase of negotiations, generally seeking to delay or extend the terms of deferral pay back periods and/or provide rent relief beyond the periods in the initial agreements, was substantially completed by the end of the Company’s second quarter of fiscal 2021 and resulted in 99 additional rent relief agreements.
The Company obtained additional liquidity during fiscal 2020 through the sale of common stock, which resulted in net proceeds of $182,207 and completed the private sale of $550,000 in aggregate principal amount of 7.625% senior secured notes due 2025. In that same year, the revolving credit commitments under our existing credit facility were extended through August 17, 2024, and the suspension of our financial ratio covenants was extended until the last day of the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. During fiscal 2021, the Company redeemed $110,000 outstanding principal amount of the senior secured notes and elected to end the financial covenant suspension period as of the last day of the third quarter of fiscal 2021. At the end of fiscal 2021, the Company had $492,495 of liquidity available under its revolving credit facility. See Note 5, Debt, for more information on these transactions.
The measures taken by the Company as well as the
re-opening
of the Company’s stores provide sufficient liquidity to meet estimated cash flow needs and covenant compliance obligations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of the financial statements. We cannot predict whether, when or the manner in which
the conditions surrounding
COVID-19,
particularly as a result of new variants of
COVID-19,
will change, including additional vaccination or mask mandates, capacity restrictions or
re-closures
of our currently open stores and customer engagement with our brand.
Principles of consolidation
Principles of consolidation
— The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of D&B Entertainment and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fiscal year
Fiscal year
— The Company’s fiscal year consists of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Sunday after the Saturday closest to January 31. Fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019, which ended on January 30, 2022, January 31, 2021, and February 2, 2020, respectively, each contained 52 weeks. Each quarterly period has 13 weeks, except in a
53-week
year when the fourth quarter has 14 weeks.
Use of estimates
Use of estimates
— The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and for the period then ended. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents
— We consider transaction settlements in process from credit card companies and all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Our cash management system provides for the daily funding of all major bank disbursement accounts as checks are presented for payment. Under this system, outstanding checks in excess of the cash balances at certain banks creates book overdrafts. Book overdrafts of $16,673 and $8,168
are presented in “Accounts payable” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 30, 2022, and January 31, 2021, respectively. Changes in the book overdraft position are presented within “Net cash provided by operating activities” within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. At the end of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, the Company had no restricted cash.
Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with multiple financial institutions. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions with reputable credit and therefore bear minimal credit risk. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances that exceed federally insured limits with a number of financial institutions.
Inventories
Inventories
— Inventories consist of food, beverages, amusement merchandise and other supplies and are stated at the lower of cost
(first-in,
first-out
method) or net realizable value. We record inventory reserves for obsolete and slow-moving inventory.
Cloud-based computing arrangements
Cloud-Based Computing Arrangements
— The Company defers application development stage costs for cloud-based computing arrangements and amortizes those costs over the related service (subscription) agreement. The unamortized cost is included in “Prepaid expenses” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment
— Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method, based on the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the terms of the underlying leases of the related assets. Estimated depreciable lives for the categories of property and equipment follows:
 
 
  
Estimated Depreciable Lives
(In Years)
Building and building improvements
  
5-40
Leasehold improvements
  
5-20
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
  
3-10
Games
  
3-20
 
Expenditures that extend the life, increase capacity of or improve the safety or the efficiency of the property and equipment are capitalized, whereas costs incurred to maintain the appearance and functionality of such assets are charged to repair and maintenance expense. Application development stage costs for significant internally developed software projects are capitalized and amortized as part of furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Interest cost on funds used during the acquisition period of significant capital assets are capitalized as part of the asset and depreciated. Gains and losses related to store property and equipment disposals are recorded in “Other store operating expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
We assess the potential impairment of our long-lived assets related to each store to be held and used in business, including property and equipment and
right-of-use
(“ROU”) assets, on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values of these assets may not be recoverable. In determining the recoverability of the asset value, an analysis is performed at the individual store level, since this is the lowest level of identifiable cash flows and primarily includes an assessment of historical cash flows and other relevant factors and circumstances, including the maturity of the store, changes in the economic environment, unfavorable changes in legal factors or business climate and future operating plans. The more significant inputs used in determining our estimate of the projected undiscounted cash flows included future revenue growth and projected margins as well as the estimate of the remaining useful life of the assets. If the carrying amount is not recoverable, we record an impairment charge equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, which is estimated based on discounted projected future operating cash flows of the store over the remaining service life using a risk adjusted discount rate that is commensurate with the inherent risk.
During fiscal 2021, the Company recorded an impairment charge for its ROU assets of $912 related to the abandonment of its corporate office and adjacent warehouse lease prior to the end of the respective lease agreement. During fiscal 2020, the Company recorded an impairment charge for its long-lived assets, including ROU assets, of $6,746, primarily driven by the expected impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic on future cash flows of specific stores. The Company also recorded an impairment loss and related contract termination costs of $6,981 related to potential new store projects that were in the early stage of development at that same time, which is included in “Other store operating expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Given the ongoing impacts of
COVID-19
to our business, the projected undiscounted cash flows are subject to greater uncertainty than historically. If in the future we reduce our estimate of cash flow projections, we could be required to record additional impairment charges. No impairment charges were recognized in fiscal 2019.
Goodwill and tradenames
Goodwill and tradenames
— The carrying amount of goodwill is impacted by foreign currency translation adjustments. The foreign currency translation adjustment decreased goodwill by $39 during fiscal 2020. Goodwill and tradenames which have an indefinite useful life, are not subject to amortization, and are evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that impairment may exist. Goodwill and tradenames are evaluated at the level of the Company’s single operating segment, which also represents the Company’s only reporting unit.
When evaluating goodwill and tradenames for impairment, the Company first performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that its reporting unit or tradenames are impaired. For fiscal year 2021, 2020 and 2019, there was no impairment to our goodwill or tradenames.
Other assets and deferred charges, net
Other assets and deferred charges, net
— Other assets and deferred charges, net consist primarily of intangible assets related to transferable liquor licenses and intellectual property licenses associated with some of our proprietary amusement offerings, and assets related to various deposits, the employee deferred compensation plan, and unamortized debt issuance costs on the revolving portion of our credit facility.
The balance of transferable liquor licenses was $5,162 and $5,213 at the end of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively. The costs of purchasing transferable liquor licenses through open markets in jurisdictions with a limited number of authorized liquor licenses are capitalized as indefinite-lived intangible assets and are tested for
impairment annually by comparing the estimated fair value of each asset with their carrying amount. The unamortized balance of our intellectual license costs was $1,264 and $1,862 at the end of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively. Intellectual licenses are amortized over the respective term of the license agreements, with a weighted average term remaining of 2.3 years at the end of fiscal 2021. Amortization of intellectual licenses of $598, $575 and $507 in fiscal 2021, fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively, is included in “Other store operating expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in connection with borrowings or establishment of credit facilities, and these costs are amortized as interest expense over the life of the borrowing or life of the related debt facility. Debt issuance costs on the revolving portion of our credit facility were $3,971 and $5,525 at the end of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively. Debt issuance costs on the senior secured notes are reported as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of our debt.
Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value of financial instruments
— Fair value is defined 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 under current market conditions. In determining fair value, the accounting standards establish a three-level hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level One inputs are quoted prices available for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; Level Two inputs are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; and Level Three inputs are unobservable and reflect management’s own assumptions.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap is determined based upon Level Two inputs which includes valuation models as reported by our counterparties and third-party valuation specialists. These valuation models are based on the present value of expected cash flows using forward rate curves. The fair value of borrowings under our revolving credit facility was $62,114 as of January 31, 2021, and the fair value of our senior secured notes was $456,204 and $576,033 as of January 30, 2022, and January 31, 2021, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s debt is determined based on a discounted cash flow method, using a sector-specific yield curve based on market-derived, traded price data as of the measurement date, which we classify as a Level Two input within the fair value hierarchy.
Interest rate swap
Interest rate swaps
— Effective February 28, 2019, the Company entered into three interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to interest rate movements on our variable rate credit facility. The agreements entitle the Company to receive at specified intervals, a variable rate of interest based on
one-month
LIBOR in exchange for the payment of a fixed rate of interest throughout the life of the agreements. The notional amount of the swap agreements, which mature August 17, 2022, totals $350,000 and the fixed rate of interest for all agreements is 2.47%
. The Company initially designated its interest rate swap agreements as a cash flow hedge and accounted for the underlying activity in accordance with hedge accounting. Prior to April 14, 2020, changes in the fair values of the interest rate swaps were recorded as a component of other comprehensive loss until the interest payments being hedged were recorded as interest expense, at which time the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss were reclassified as an adjustment to interest expense. Cash flows related to the interest rate swaps were included as a component of interest expense and in operating activities.
Effective April 14, 2020, the Company amended its existing credit facility agreement to obtain relief from its financial covenants, and as a result, the variable interest rate terms were modified to create an interest rate floor of 1.00%. Accordingly, and as a result of the then current forward interest rate curve, the Company discontinued the hedging relationship as of April 14, 2020
(de-designation
date). Given the continued existence of the hedged interest payments, the Company is reclassifying its accumulated other comprehensive loss of
$17,609
 
as of the
de-designation
date into “Interest expense, net” using a straight-line approach over the remaining life of the originally designated hedging relationship, and the unamortized balance of
$4,088
as of the end of fiscal 2021 will be fully amortized within the next twelve months. Effective with the
de-designation,
any
gain or loss on the derivatives are recognized in earnings in the period in which the change occurs. During fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, a gain of
$550 and a loss of $1,729, respectively, was recognized, which is included in “Other store operating expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Credit risk related to the failure of our counterparties to perform under the terms of the swap agreements is minimized by entering into transactions with carefully selected, credit-worthy parties and the fact that the swap contracts are distributed among several financial institutions to reduce the concentration of credit risk. Our swap agreements with our derivative counterparties contain a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, and repayment of the indebtedness has been accelerated, the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

Revenue recognition
Revenue recognition
— Food and beverage revenues are recognized when payment is tendered at the point of sale as the performance obligation has been satisfied. Beginning in fiscal 2020, we began to offer our customers delivery services, which are fulfilled by third-party service providers. We recognize revenues at the gross amount, and delivery fees are included in “Other store operating expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Amusement revenues are primarily recognized upon utilization of game play credits on Power Cards purchased and used by customers to activate video and redemption games. Redemption games allow customers to earn tickets, which may be redeemed for prizes in our WIN! area. We have deferred a portion of amusement revenues for the estimated unfulfilled performance obligations based on an estimated rate of future use by customers of unused game play credits and the material right provided to customers to redeem tickets in the future for prizes. We estimate the amount of deferred revenue based upon credits and tickets remaining on Power Cards, historic game play credit and ticket utilization patterns and estimates of the standalone selling prices of game play credits and the customer material right. The standalone selling price of the customer material right is estimated using an equivalent chip cost plus margin approach. For purposes of recognizing revenue, the total amount collected from each customer is then allocated between the two performance obligations based on the relative standalone selling price of each obligation.
Total deferred amusement revenue is included in “Accrued liabilities” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the fiscal year ended January 30, 2022, we recognized revenue of approximately $49,700 related to the amount in deferred amusement revenue as of the end of fiscal 2020. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021, we recognized revenue of approximately $20,100 related to the amount in deferred amusement revenue as of the end of
fiscal 2019.
 
We
sell gift cards, which do not have expiration dates, and we do not deduct
non-usage
fees from outstanding gift card balances. The Company recognizes revenue from gift cards upon redemption by the customer. For unredeemed gift cards that the Company expects to be entitled to breakage and for which there is not a legal obligation to remit the unredeemed gift card balances to the relevant jurisdictions, the Company recognizes expected breakage as revenue in proportion to the pattern of redemption by the customers. The determination of the gift card breakage is based on the Company’s specific historical redemption patterns. Recognized gift card breakage revenue is included in “Amusements and other revenues” in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The contract liability related to our gift cards is included in “Accrued liabilities” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the fiscal year ended January 30, 2022, we recognized revenue of approximately $3,900 related to the amount in deferred gift card revenue as of the end of fiscal 2020, of which approximately $1,390 was gift card breakage revenue. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021, we recognized revenue of approximately $2,330 related to the amount in deferred gift card revenue as of the end of fiscal 2019, of which approximately $570 was gift card breakage revenue.
Revenues are reported net of sales-related taxes collected from customers to be remitted to governmental taxing authorities. Sales tax collected is included in “Accrued liabilities” until the taxes are remitted to the appropriate taxing authorities. Historically, certain of our promotional programs include multiple performance obligations that are discounted from the standalone selling prices. We allocate the entire discount to the amusement performance obligation.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company launched an enhanced loyalty program, wherein eligible customers who enroll in the program generally earn rewards based on the level of chips played. Earned rewards generally expire one to two months after they are issued. We defer revenue associated with the estimated selling prices of rewards earned, net of rewards we do not expect to be redeemed.
Advertising costs
Advertising costs
— Advertising production costs are expensed in the period when the advertising first takes place. Other advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs expensed were $32,184, $21,107, and $44,834, in fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Advertising costs are included in “Other store operating expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Leases
Leases
— Our material operating leases consist of facility leases at our stores and our store support center. Operating leases also includes certain equipment leases that have a term in excess of one year. At contract inception, we determine whether a contract is, or contains, a lease by determining whether it conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset for a period of time. We recognize a lease liability representing the present value of lease payments not yet paid and a corresponding ROU asset as of the lease commencement date. Operating lease ROU assets are initially and subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability adjusted for lease incentives, initial direct costs, prepayments or accrued lease payments and impairment of ROU assets, if any. We assess lease classification at commencement and reassess lease classification subsequent to commencement upon a change to the expected lease term or modification of the contract. Generally, the Company’s lease contracts do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate, and therefore, the Company uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate as of the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company uses judgment in determining its incremental borrowing rate, which includes selecting a yield curve based on a hypothetical credit rating.
Our leases typically have initial terms ranging from ten to twenty years and most include options to extend the leases for one or more
5-year
periods. Generally, the lease term includes the noncancelable period of the lease inclusive of reasonably certain renewal periods up to a term of twenty years. The Company’s lease agreements generally contain rent holidays and/or escalating rent clauses. Lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company is generally obligated for the cost of property taxes, insurance, and maintenance of the leased assets, which are often variable lease payments. Our leases typically provide for a fixed base rent plus contingent rent to be determined as a percentage of sales greater than certain specified target amounts. Contingent rental payments, when considered probable, are recognized as variable lease expenses. The
Company accounts for the lease components and
non-lease
components, primarily fixed maintenance, for all leases, as a single lease component for new and modified leases. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
Tenant incentives used to fund leasehold improvements are recognized when earned and reduce our ROU asset related to the lease. Tenant incentives are amortized through the ROU asset as reductions of expense over the lease term. The balance of leasehold improvement incentive receivables is reflected as a reduction of the current portion of operating lease liabilities. We consider the concentration of credit risk for tenant improvement allowance receivables from landlords to be minimal due the payment histories and general financial condition of our landlords.
A total of 126 initial rent relief agreements related to our operating locations and former corporate headquarters were executed during fiscal 2020, and a second phase of negotiations, generally seeking to delay or extend the terms of deferral pay back periods and/or provide rent relief beyond the periods in the initial agreements, was substantially completed by the end of the Company’s second quarter of fiscal 2021 and resulted in 99 additional rent relief agreements. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to account for lease concessions and deferrals resulting directly from
COVID-19
as though the enforceable rights and obligations to the deferrals existed in the respective contracts at lease inception and will not account for the concessions as lease modifications unless the concession results in a substantial increase in the Company’s obligations. A total of 208 of our 225 rent relief agreements qualified for this accounting election, and the remaining agreements were treated as lease modifications, primarily due to a significant extension of the lease term. The Company has bifurcated our current operating lease liabilities into the portion that remains subject to accretion and the portion that is accounted for as a deferral of payments or as short payments. The current portion of deferred occupancy costs or short pays is included in “Accrued liabilities” and the balance, or
$8,434 and $16,243 as of January 30, 2022, and January 31, 2021, respectively, is included in “Other liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Operating leases are included within the “Operating lease right of use assets”, “Accrued liabilities” and “Operating lease liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease payments are classified as cash flows from operating activities with ROU asset amortization and the change in the lease liability combined within “Other liabilities” in the reconciliation of net income to cash flows provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Self-insurance programs
Self-insurance programs
— The Company utilizes a self-insurance plan for health, general liability and workers’ compensation coverage. To limit our exposure to losses, we maintain stop-loss coverage through third-party insurers. Losses are accrued based on the Company’s historical claims experience and case losses, assisted by independent third-party actuaries. The estimated cost to settle reported claims and incurred but unreported claims is included in “Accrued liabilities” and “Other liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Pre-opening costs
Pre-opening
costs
Pre-opening
costs include costs associated with the opening and organizing of new stores, including the cost of
pre-opening
rent, training, relocation, recruiting and travel costs for team members engaged in such
pre-opening
activities. All
pre-opening
costs are expensed as incurred.
Income taxes
Income taxes
— Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based upon anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying value of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using current enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which we expect the temporary differences to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred taxes is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We routinely evaluate the likelihood of realizing the benefit of our deferred tax assets and may record a valuation allowance if, based on all available evidence, we determine that it is more likely than not that some portion of the tax benefit will not be realized.
The calculation of tax liabilities involves judgment and evaluation of uncertainties in the interpretation of federal and state tax regulations. We evaluate our exposures associated with our various tax filing positions and recognize a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. For uncertain tax positions that do not meet this threshold, we have established accruals for taxes that may become payable in future years as a result of audits by tax authorities. Tax accruals are adjusted as events occur that affect the potential liability for taxes such as the expiration of statutes of limitations, conclusion of tax audits, identification of additional exposure based on current calculations, identification of new issues, or the issuance of statutory or administrative guidance or rendering of a court decision affecting a certain issue.​​​​​​​

Foreign currency
Foreign currency
— Foreign currency translation adjustments represent the unrealized impact of translating the financial statements of our Canadian stores from their respective functional currency (Canadian dollars) to U.S. dollars and are reported as a component of comprehensive income and recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are recognized in “Other store operating expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Earnings per share
Earnings per share
— Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share, the basic weighted average shares outstanding is increased by the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted share awards. Stock options and restricted share awards with an anti-dilutive effect are not included in the diluted net income (loss) per share calculation. For fiscal 2021, 2020 and fiscal 2019, we excluded approximately 170,000, 1,200,000, and 150,000 anti-dilutive awards from the calculation. Basic weighted average shares outstanding are reconciled to diluted weighted average shares outstanding as follows
 
    
January 30, 2022
    
January 31, 2021
    
February 2, 2020
 
Basic weighted average shares outstanding
     48,142,090        43,549,887        33,450,217  
Weighted average dilutive impact of awards (1)
     1,121,630        —          649,161  
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding
     49,263,720        43,549,887        34,099,378  
 
(1)
Amounts exclude all potential common and common equivalent shares for periods when there is a net loss.
Recently adopted accounting guidance
Recently adopted accounting guidance —
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2019-12,
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the calculation of income taxes in interim periods, and the recognition of deferred taxes for taxable goodwill. The Company adopted this standard as of the beginning of fiscal year 2021, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recent accounting pronouncements —
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU

Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance for contract modifications and hedging relationships through December 31, 2022, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. A contract modification resulting from reference rate reform may be accounted for as a continuation of the existing contract rather than the creation of a new contract. Additionally, changes in the critical terms of hedging relationships, caused by reference rate reform, should not result in the
de-designation
of the instrument, provided certain criteria are met. Although the Company has swap agreements based on LIBOR rates, the guidance is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements due to the
de-designation
of our hedging relationships in fiscal 2020.
