Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	NOTE 13 – INCOME TAXES On March 27, 2020, Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) which provides economic relief to assist American families and companies during the COVID-19 global pandemic. The CARES Act includes, among other things, provisions related to net operating loss carryback periods, refundable payroll tax credits and the delay of certain payroll taxes, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The CARES Act allows U.S. net operating losses generated in fiscal 2019, 2020, and 2021 to be carried back up to five years to prior taxable years with a U.S. statutory tax rate of 35.0% and to offset 100% of regular taxable income in such years (the “CARES Act NOL Carryback Provision”). The Company anticipates that there will be a U.S. net operating loss generated in fiscal 2021 which will be carried back to prior taxable years. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1.6 million and income tax provision of $4.7 million for the three months ended July 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective tax rate was 19.1% and 21.4% for three months ended July 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The significant components of the effective tax rate changed primarily due to a change in the statutory rate in the United Kingdom, U.S. tax provided on the sale of a non-operating asset in an international location, excess tax deficiencies related to stock-based compensation and no tax benefit being recognized on losses incurred by certain foreign operations. These changes were partially offset by changes in jurisdictional earnings and the CARES Act NOL Carryback Provision. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $33.9 million and income tax provision of $5.6 million for the six months ended July 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective tax rate was 17.8% and 20.7% for the six months ended July 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The significant components of the effective tax rate changed primarily due to impairments of the portion of goodwill of the Watch and Accessory Brands reporting unit which is not tax deductible and the recording of valuation allowances on certain foreign deferred tax assets, both of which occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. These changes were partially offset by changes in foreign profits in lower tax jurisdictions and the CARES Act NOL Carryback Provision. The effective tax rate for the three months ended July 31, 2020 differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to a change in the statutory tax rate in the United Kingdom, U.S. tax provided on the sale of a non-operating asset in an international location and excess tax deficiencies related to stock-based compensation, partially offset by foreign profits being taxed in lower taxing jurisdictions and the CARES Act NOL Carryback Provision. The effective tax rate for the six months ended July 31, 2020 differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to impairments of the portion of goodwill of the Watch and Accessory Brands reporting unit which is not tax deductible, partially offset by the CARES Act NOL Carryback Provision. The effective tax rate for the three months ended July 31, 2019 differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to no tax benefit being recognized on losses incurred by certain foreign operations, partially offset by foreign profits being taxed in lower taxing jurisdictions. The effective tax rate for the six months ended July 31, 2019 differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to foreign profits being taxed in lower taxing jurisdictions, partially offset by no tax benefit being recognized on losses incurred by certain foreign operations. In December 2019, the FASB issues ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”. ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to general principles in “Income Taxes (Topic 740)”. It also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company early adopted this standard effective February 1, 2020. The provision of ASU 2019-12 which has the most significant impact on the Company is the removal of a limitation on the tax benefit recognized on pre-tax losses during interim periods which exceed the expected loss for the fiscal year. The Company’s income tax benefit for the six months ended July 31, 2020 includes an income tax benefit of $6.2 million as a result of early adoption in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. As of July 31, 2020, the Company had no deferred tax liability for the undistributed foreign earnings of approximately $186.6 million because the Company intends to continue permanently reinvesting such earnings in its foreign operations. It is not practicable to estimate the tax liability related to a future distribution of these permanently reinvested foreign earnings.
