Karl Lagerfeld
The Company owned an economic interest of approximately 8% in Karl Lagerfeld Holding B.V. (“Karl Lagerfeld”). The Company was deemed to have significant influence with respect to this investment and accounted for the investment under the equity method of accounting prior to the completion of the Karl Lagerfeld transaction (as defined below) on May 31, 2022.

The Company completed the sale of its economic interest in Karl Lagerfeld to a subsidiary of G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (the “Karl Lagerfeld transaction”) on May 31, 2022 for approximately $20.5 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments, of which $19.1 million was received during the second quarter of 2022 and $1.4 million is being held in escrow and subject to exchange rate fluctuation. The carrying value of the Company’s investment in Karl Lagerfeld was $1.0 million immediately prior to the completion of the sale.

In connection with the closing of the Karl Lagerfeld transaction, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $16.1 million during the second quarter of 2022, which reflected (i) the excess of the proceeds over the carrying value of the Karl Lagerfeld investment, less (ii) $3.4 million of foreign currency translation adjustment losses previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The gain was included in equity in net income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and recorded in corporate expenses not allocated to any reportable segments, consistent with how the Company has historically recorded its proportionate share of the net income or loss of its investment in Karl Lagerfeld.
The Company had previously determined during the first quarter of 2020 that the then-recent and projected business results for Karl Lagerfeld, which included an adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, was an indicator of an other-than-temporary impairment with respect to the Company’s investment in Karl Lagerfeld. The Company calculated the fair value of its investment using future operating cash flow projections that were discounted at a rate of 10.9%, which accounted for the relative risks of the estimated future cash flows. The Company classified this as a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. The Company determined the fair value of its investment was lower than its carrying amount as of May 3, 2020, and as a result recorded a noncash other-than-temporary impairment of $12.3 million during the first quarter of 2020 to fully impair the investment. The impairment was included in equity in net income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company recorded the impairment charge in corporate expenses not allocated to any reportable segments, consistent with how it had historically recorded its proportionate share of the net income or loss of its investment in Karl Lagerfeld.
