The fair value of money market mutual funds is based on quoted market prices, such as quoted net asset values published by the fund as supported in an active market. Money market mutual funds included in the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $145.5 million and $158.0 million as of January 28, 2023 and January 29, 2022, respectively. Also included in the Company’s money market mutual funds balances were $11.1 million and $9.3 million as of January 28, 2023 and January 29, 2022, respectively, which relate to the Company’s restricted cash, and are included in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan for key executives and other members of management, which is funded by investments in officers’ life insurance. The fair value of this obligation is based on participants’ elected investments, which reflect the closing market prices of similar assets.

The Company previously held an equity investment, in the form of multiple series of preferred stock, in A Place for Rover, Inc., an online marketplace for pet care, which was historically accounted for as an equity security without a readily determinable fair value. In July 2021, A Place for Rover, Inc. completed a business combination with Nebula Caravel Acquisition Corp., a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company. The combined entity was renamed to Rover Group, Inc. (“Rover”), and the Company’s equity investment was converted into shares of Rover Class A common stock. In September 2021, the Company received additional shares of Rover Class A common stock in accordance with certain earnout provisions from the July 2021 business combination. The Company now remeasures the fair value of its investment on a quarterly basis, and the resulting gains or losses are included in other non-operating income in the consolidated statements of operations. On November 23, 2021, the Company completed the sale of approximately 11% of its Rover Class A common stock for net proceeds of $6.1 million in cash as part of its participation in an underwritten secondary offering by certain Rover shareholders.

In February 2022, the Company amended a collaboration agreement with a vendor, and as part of the amendment the Company was granted a right to receive equity and warrants for common shares of the vendor that is subject to certain performance conditions and other contingencies. The Company evaluated the agreement under FASB ASC 705-20, Consideration Received from a Vendor, and no material consideration was recognized during the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023.

Assets Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company’s non-financial assets, which primarily consist of goodwill, other intangible assets, fixed assets and equity and other investments, are reported at carrying value, or at fair value as of the date of the Company’s acquisition of Petco Holdings, Inc. LLC on January 26, 2016, and are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, on a periodic basis (at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable), non-financial assets are assessed for impairment. If impaired, the carrying values of the assets are written down to fair value using Level 3 inputs.

In fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, the Company determined that the fair value of its reporting unit was greater than its carrying amount, and therefore no goodwill impairment charge was recorded (Note 6). In fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, the Company determined that the fair value of its trade name was greater than its carrying amount, and therefore no tradename impairment charge was recorded. There were no indications of impairment of the Company’s other intangible assets or equity and other investments in fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020.

The Company recorded fixed asset and right-of-use asset impairment charges of $2.2 million, $10.4 million $14.5 million in fiscal years 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Impairment charges are primarily related to pet care center locations and are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
