RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Intangibles - Goodwill and Other
The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, which simplifies the test for goodwill impairment by removing the second step of the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, the Company will apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit, during its annual test for impairment to be conducted as of the end of Fiscal November 2017. The new guidance does not amend the optional qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides guidance for revenue recognition. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. This guidance was deferred by ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, issued by the FASB in August 2015, and will be effective for Lands' End in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending February 1, 2019. Subsequently, the FASB has also issued accounting standards updates which clarify the guidance.
The Company has developed a road map for implementation and is currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09 on our revenue recognition practices. While most revenue recognition policies are not expected to change, the Company has identified anticipated changes to our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations related to the timing of revenue recognition for gift card breakage and to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to the presentation of the reserve for returns, in addition to increased disclosures required. The Company is continuing to study the impacts of this standard and its amendments and expects to finalize its evaluation in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2017.
Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-04, Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products. This update clarifies when it is acceptable to recognize the unredeemed portion of prepaid gift cards into income. This guidance will be effective for Lands' End in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending February 1, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This update clarifies issues to reduce the current and potential future diversity in practice of the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments within the statement of cash flows. This guidance will be effective for Lands' End in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending February 1, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Restricted Cash
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash. This ASU requires the inclusion of restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This guidance will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending February 1, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which will replace the existing guidance in ASC 840, Leases. This ASU requires a dual approach for lessee accounting under which a lessee would account for leases as finance leases or operating leases. Both finance leases and operating leases will result in the lessee recognizing a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. For finance leases, the lessee would recognize interest expense and amortization of the right-of-use asset, and for operating leases, the lessee would recognize a straight-line total lease expense. This guidance will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending January 31, 2020. While it is expected that the standard will have a material increase in the assets and liabilities recorded on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Company is still evaluating the overall impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
