Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Feb. 01, 2019

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Lands' End, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented have been reflected. Dollar amounts are reported in thousands, except per share data, unless otherwise noted.

Fiscal Period, Policy

Fiscal Year

The Company's fiscal year end is on the Friday preceding the Saturday closest to January 31 each year. The fiscal periods in this report are presented as follows, unless the context otherwise requires:



Fiscal Year	Ended	Weeks
2018	February 1, 2019	52
2017	February 2, 2018	53
2016	January 27, 2017	52

Accounting Policy - Seasonality

Seasonality

The Company's operations have historically been seasonal, with a disproportionate amount of net revenue occurring in the fourth fiscal quarter, reflecting increased demand during the year-end holiday selling season. The impact of seasonality on results of operations is more pronounced since the level of certain fixed costs, such as occupancy and overhead expenses, do not vary with sales. The Company's results of operations also may fluctuate based upon such factors as the timing of certain holiday seasons and promotions, the amount of net revenue contributed by new and existing stores, the timing and level of markdowns, competitive factors, weather and general economic conditions.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reportable amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid temporary instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less. It also includes deposits in-transit from banks for payments related to third-party credit card and debit card transactions.

Restricted cash

The Company classifies cash balances pledged as collateral as Restricted cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on both historical experience and specific identification. Allowances for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable balances were $542 thousand as of February 1, 2019 and $637 thousand as of February 2, 2018. The Accounts receivable balance on the Consolidated Balance Sheets is presented net of the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts and is comprised of various customer-related accounts receivable.

Changes in the balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts are as follows:



(in thousands)	Fiscal 2018			Fiscal 2017			Fiscal 2016
Beginning balance	$	637		$	579		$	626
Provision	192			187			281
Write-offs	(287		)	(129		)	(328		)
Ending balance	$	542		$	637		$	579

Inventory

Inventories primarily consist of merchandise purchased for resale. For financial reporting and tax purposes, the Company's United States inventory, primarily merchandise held for sale, is stated at last-in, first-out ("LIFO") cost, which is lower than net realizable value. The Company accounts for its non-United States inventory on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. The United States inventory accounted for using the LIFO method was 88% of total inventory as of February 1, 2019 as well as February 2, 2018. If the FIFO method of accounting for inventory had been used, the effect on inventory would have been an increase of $1.1 million and $1.0 million as of February 1, 2019 and February 2, 2018, respectively.

The Company maintains a reserve for excess and obsolete inventory. The reserve is calculated based on historical experience related to liquidation/disposal of identified inventory. The excess and obsolescence reserve balances were $12.5 million and $12.1 million as of February 1, 2019 and February 2, 2018, respectively.

In Fiscal 2016, the Company sold approximately $3.8 million of inventory in exchange for marketing trade credits. This was recorded as a non-monetary transaction and the trade credits receivable was recorded at the value of the inventory exchanged. The Company had approximately $0.3 million and $0.9 million of trade credits receivable recorded in Accounts receivable, net as of February 1, 2019 and February 2, 2018, respectively, and an additional $3.5 million of trade credits

Deferred Catalog Costs and Marketing

Costs incurred for direct response marketing consist primarily of catalog production and mailing costs that are generally amortized within two months from the date catalogs are mailed. Unamortized marketing costs reported as prepaid assets were $13.5 million and $13.7 million as of February 1, 2019 and February 2, 2018, respectively. The Company expenses the costs of marketing for website, magazine, newspaper, radio and other general media when the marketing takes place. Marketing expenses, including catalog costs amortization, website-related costs and other print media were $186.9 million, $186.4 million and $193.2 million for Fiscal 2018, Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2016, respectively. These costs are included within Selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Additions and substantial improvements are capitalized and include expenditures that materially extend the useful lives of existing facilities and equipment. Maintenance and repairs that do not materially improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed as incurred. As of the balance sheet dates, Property and equipment, net consisted of the following:



(in thousands)	Asset Lives	February 1, 2019			February 2, 2018
Land	—	$	3,459		$	3,533
Buildings and improvements	15-30	99,400			100,122
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	3-10	62,823			69,940
Computer hardware and software	3-10	146,400			122,336
Leasehold improvements	3-7	6,569			10,329
Assets in development		27,296			23,428
Gross property and equipment		345,947			329,688
Accumulated depreciation		(196,053		)	(193,187		)
Total property and equipment, net		$	149,894		$	136,501

As of February 1, 2019 and February 2, 2018, assets in development relate primarily to technological investments in the ERP system. Assets placed in service related to the ERP system during Fiscal 2018 were $16.2 million.

Depreciation expense is recorded over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the associated lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Depreciation expense was $27.6 million, $24.9 million and $19.0 million for Fiscal 2018, Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2016, respectively

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

Impairment of Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are subject to a review for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows generated by an asset or asset group is less than its carrying amount, the Company then determines the fair value of the asset generally by using a discounted cash flow model. When an impairment loss is recognized, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value as determined based on quoted market prices or through the use of other valuation techniques. During Fiscal 2018 an impairment of $254 thousand was recognized for property and equipment in two Retail locations. There were no impairments of property and equipment recognized in Fiscal 2017 or Fiscal 2016.

Goodwill and Intangible Asset Impairment Assessments

Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Asset Impairment Assessments

Goodwill and the indefinite-lived trade name intangible asset are tested separately for impairment on an annual basis, or are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company's goodwill and trade name intangible asset were originally valued in connection with Kmart Holding Corporation's acquisition of Sears Roebuck in March 2005.

The Company's impairment evaluation contains multiple uncertainties because it requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate future cash flows and asset fair values, including forecasting cash flows under different scenarios. We perform goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests on an annual basis and update these annual impairment tests mid-year if events or circumstances occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset below its carrying amount. If actual results fall short of the Company's estimates and assumptions used in estimating future cash flows and asset fair values, the Company may be exposed to losses that could be material.

Goodwill impairment assessments

The Company tests goodwill for impairment using a one-step quantitative test. The quantitative test compares the reporting unit's fair value to its carrying value. An impairment is recorded for any excess carrying value above the reporting unit's fair value, not to exceed the amount of goodwill. The Company estimates fair value using a discounted cash flow model, commonly referred to as the income approach. The income approach uses a reporting unit's projection of estimated operating results and cash flows that is discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions appropriate to the Company's reporting unit. The projection uses management's best estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected period using the best information available, including growth rates in revenues, costs, estimates of future expected changes in operating margins and cash expenditures. Other significant estimates and assumptions include terminal value growth rates, future estimates of capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements.

Prior to February 1, 2019, the Company had two reporting units, Direct and Retail. Goodwill was allocated to the Direct reporting unit as Retail did not exist at the time of the Kmart Holding Corporation’s acquisition of Sears Roebuck in March 2005. During Fiscal 2018, Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2016, the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value and as such, the Company did not record a goodwill impairment charge. A reporting unit is an operating segment, or one level below an operating segment, for which discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management. As a result of the Fiscal 2018 year end change in operating segments discussed in Note 12, the Company has reassessed the reporting units. At the end of Fiscal 2018, Lands' End's reporting units were identical to the operating segments of U.S. eCommerce, Outfitters, Europe eCommerce, Japan eCommerce and Retail. Goodwill was allocated to these reporting units based on relative fair value resulting in goodwill being allocated to the U.S. eCommerce, Outfitters and Japan eCommerce reporting units. The Europe eCommerce and Retail reporting units were not allocated goodwill. As required, the Company performed an impairment test before the change and after the change. Neither resulted in the recognition of impairment. At the end of Fiscal 2018, the fair value of these reporting units exceeded the carrying value by 56.1%, 30.2% and 36.7% respectively.

Goodwill impairment charges may be recognized in future periods to the extent changes in factors or circumstances occur, including deterioration in the macroeconomic environment, retail industry or in the equity markets, deterioration in our performance or our future projections, or changes in our plans for the reporting unit.

Indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment assessments

The Company's indefinite-lived intangible asset is the Lands' End trade name. Lands' End reviews the trade name for impairment, on an annual basis, by comparing the carrying amount to its fair value, using the income approach. Lands' End determined that the relief from royalty method of the income approach was most appropriate for analyzing the Company's indefinite-lived asset. This method is based on the assumption that, in lieu of ownership, a firm would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of this asset class. The relief from royalty method involves two steps: (1) estimation of reasonable royalty rates for the assets and (2) the application of these royalty rates to a net revenue stream and discounting the resulting cash flows to determine a present value. The Company multiplied the selected royalty rate by the forecasted net revenue stream to calculate the cost savings (relief from royalty payment) associated with the asset. The cash flows are then discounted to present value using the selected discount rate and compared to the carrying value of the asset.

In Fiscal 2018, Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2016, the Company tested the indefinite-lived intangible assets as required. As a result of this testing, in Fiscal 2016 the Company recorded a non-cash pretax trade name impairment charge of approximately $173.0 million to the Intangible asset impairment line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During Fiscal 2018 and Fiscal 2017 the fair value exceeded the carrying value by 45.1% and 9.7% respectively and as such, no trade name impairment charges were recorded

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk

The Company entered into the ABL Facility on November 16, 2017, which provides for maximum borrowings of $175.0 million for the Company, subject to a borrowing base. The ABL Facility has a letter of credit sub-limit of $70.0 million and will mature no later than November 16, 2022, subject to customary extension provisions provided for therein. The ABL Facility is available for working capital and other general corporate purposes, and was undrawn, other than for letters of credit. See Note 3, Debt.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company determines the fair value of financial instruments in accordance with accounting standards pertaining to fair value measurements. Such standards define fair value and establish a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP. Under fair value measurement accounting standards, fair value is considered to be the exchange price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or transfer a liability at the measurement date. The Company reports or discloses the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the fair value hierarchy prescribed by accounting standards for fair value measurements, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. Total accounts receivable were $34.5 million and $49.9 million as of February 1, 2019 and February 2, 2018, respectively. Bad debt expense was $0.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.3 million in Fiscal 2018, Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2016, respectively. At February 1, 2019 and February 2, 2018 accounts receivable included $0.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, due from Sears Holdings.

Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable, Accounts payable and Other current liabilities are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Long-term debt, net is reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at amortized cost. The fair value of debt was determined utilizing level 2 valuation techniques based on the closing inactive market bid price on February 1, 2019 and February 2, 2018. See Note 7, Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities.

Foreign Currency Translations and Transactions

The Company translates the assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries from their respective functional currencies to United States dollars at the appropriate spot rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses of operations are translated to United States dollars using weighted average exchange rates during the year. The foreign subsidiaries use the local currency as their functional currency. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity. The Company recognized an insignificant gain in Fiscal 2018, a loss of $4.8 million in Fiscal 2017 and an insignificant loss in Fiscal 2016, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue includes sales of merchandise and delivery revenue related to merchandise sold. Substantially all of the Company's revenue is recognized when control of product passes to customers, which for the eCommerce and Outfitters channels is when the merchandise is expected to be received by the customer and for the Retail channel is at the time of sale in the store. The Company recognizes revenue, including shipping and handling fees billed to customers, in the amount expected to be received when control of the Company's products transfers to customers, and is presented net of various forms of promotions, which range from contractually-fixed percentage price reductions to sales returns, discounts, and other incentives that may vary in amount. Variable amounts are estimated based on an analysis of historical experience and adjusted as better estimates become available. The Company's revenue is disaggregated by channel and geographic location.

The Company elected to exclude from revenue, taxes assessed by governmental authorities, including value-added and other sales-related taxes, that are imposed on and concurrent with revenue-producing activities, and as a result there is no change in presentation from prior comparative periods.

Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities consist of payments received in advance of the transfer of control to the customer. As products are delivered and control transfers, the Company recognizes the deferred revenue in Net revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table summarizes the deferred revenue associated with payments received in advance of the transfer of control to the customer reported in Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and amounts recognized through Net revenue for each period presented. The remainder of deferred revenue as of February 1, 2019 is expected to be recognized in Net revenue in the fiscal quarter ending May 4, 2019, as products are delivered to customers.



(in thousands)	Fiscal 2018
Deferred revenue beginning of period	$	12,993
Deferred revenue recognized in period	(12,993		)
Revenue deferred in period	9,051
Deferred revenue end of period	$	9,051

Revenue from gift cards is recognized when (i) the gift card is redeemed by the customer for merchandise, or (ii) as gift card breakage, an estimate of gift cards which will not be redeemed where the Company does not have a legal obligation to remit the value of the unredeemed gift cards to the relevant jurisdictions. Gift card breakage is recorded within Net revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Prior to their redemption, gift cards are recorded as a liability, included within Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total contract liability related to gift cards issued was $18.2 million and $19.3 million in Fiscal 2018 and Fiscal 2017 respectively. The liability is estimated based on expected breakage that considers historical patterns of redemption. The following table provides the reconciliation of the contract liability related to gift cards:



(in thousands)	Fiscal 2018
Balance as of beginning of period	$	19,272
Gift cards sold	57,465
Gift cards redeemed	(56,502		)
Gift card breakage	(984		)
Change in accounting principle	(1,060		)
Balance as of February 1, 2019	$	18,191

Refund Liabilities

Refund liabilities, primarily associated with product sales returns and retrospective volume rebates, represent variable consideration and are estimated and recorded as a reduction to Net revenue based on historical experience. As of Fiscal 2018 and Fiscal 2017, $22.2 million and $11.1 million, respectively, of refund liabilities, primarily associated with product returns, were reported in Other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Prior to adoption, product return assets and return liabilities were reported net within Other current liabilities. As of the adoption date, the product return assets were reclassified and reported as a component of Prepaid expenses and other current assets, and return liabilities continued to be reported in Other current liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales are comprised principally of the costs of merchandise, in-bound freight, duty, warehousing and distribution (including receiving, picking, packing, store delivery and value added costs), customer shipping and handling costs and physical inventory losses. Depreciation and amortization are not included in the Company's Cost of sales.

The Company participates to a limited extent in Sears Holdings' Shop Your Way program. Customers earn points issued by SHMC on purchases made in Lands’ End Shops at Sears which may be redeemed to pay for future purchases at Lands’ End Shops at Sears. The Company pays SHMC an agreed-upon fee for points issued in connection with purchases from the Company. Depending on the ratio of points redeemed in Lands' End formats to points issued in Lands' End formats in the previous 12 months, the Company generally either pays additional fees or is reimbursed fees by SHMC. All Shop Your Way program expenses are recorded in Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The expenses for this program are recorded in Cost of sales, as described in

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses are comprised principally of payroll and benefits costs, marketing, occupancy costs of retail stores and corporate facilities, buying, pre-opening costs and other administrative expenses. All stock-based compensation is recorded in Selling and administrative expenses

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial and tax basis of assets and liabilities based on currently enacted tax laws. The tax balances and income tax expense recognized are based on management's interpretation of the tax laws of multiple jurisdictions. Income tax expense also reflects best estimates and assumptions regarding, among other things, the level of future taxable income and tax planning. Future changes in tax laws, changes in projected levels of taxable income, tax planning and adoption and implementation of new accounting standards could impact the effective tax rate and tax balances recorded.

Tax positions are recognized when they are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement. The Company is subject to periodic audits by the United States Internal Revenue Service and other state and local taxing authorities. These audits may challenge certain of the Company's tax positions such as the timing and amount of income and deductions and the allocation of taxable income to various tax jurisdictions. The Company evaluates its tax positions and establishes liabilities in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance on uncertainty in income taxes. These tax uncertainties are reviewed as facts and circumstances change and are adjusted accordingly. This requires significant management judgment in estimating final outcomes. Interest and penalties are classified as Income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 9, Income Taxes, for further details.

The Company performed an evaluation over its deferred tax assets and determined that a valuation allowance is considered necessary. See Note 9, Income Taxes, for further details on the valuation allowance. Excluding the $173.0 million non-cash impairment charge to the indefinite-lived intangible asset in Fiscal 2016 the Company would not be in a cumulative loss position.

Lands' End and Sears Holdings Corporation entered into the Tax Sharing Agreement in connection with the Separation which governs Sears Holdings Corporation's and Lands' End's respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the Separation with respect to liabilities for United States federal, state, local and foreign taxes attributable to the Lands' End business. Pursuant to this agreement, Sears Holdings Corporation is generally responsible for all United States federal, state and local UTBs, through the date of the Separation. On October 15, 2018, Sears Holdings Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (collectively the “Sears Filing").As a result of the Sears Filing, the Company believes that the recovery of the UTBs provided by the Tax Sharing Agreement is uncertain.

Self-Insurance

The Company has a self-insured plan for health and welfare benefits and provides an accrual to cover the obligation. The accrual for the self-insured liability is based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. The Company considers a number of factors, including historical claims information, when determining the amount of the accrual. Costs related to the administration of the plan and related claims are expensed as incurred.

Postretirement Benefit Plan

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company decided to indefinitely suspend eligibility to the postretirement medical plan for future company retirees.

The Company has a 401(k) retirement plan, which covers most regular employees and allows them to make contributions. The Company also provides a matching contribution on a portion of the employee contributions. Total expense incurred under this plan was $3.5 million, $3.2 million and $3.3 million for Fiscal 2018, Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2016

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss) encompasses all changes in equity other than those arising from transactions with stockholders, and is comprised solely of foreign currency translation adjustments, impact of the Tax Act on the translation adjustments and net income (loss).

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock units is determined based on the grant date fair value. The fair value is determined based on the Company's stock price on the date of the grant. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost net of estimated forfeitures and revises the estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from the estimates. The Company estimates the forfeiture rate based on historical data as well as expected future behavior. Stock-based compensation is recorded in Selling and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the period in which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the restricted stock units.

Earnings per Share

The numerator for both basic and diluted EPS is net income attributable to Lands' End. The denominator for basic EPS is based upon the number of weighted average shares of Lands' End common stock outstanding during the reporting periods. The denominator for diluted EPS is based upon the number of weighted average shares of Lands' End common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the reporting periods using the treasury stock method in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income, in response to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted on December 22, 2017 by the U.S. federal government. The standard eliminates the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act by reclassifying the effect out of Accumulated other comprehensive loss and into Accumulated deficit. This guidance was adopted by the Company during Fourth Quarter 2017 and resulted in a $2.4 million reclassification on the Consolidated Balance Sheets from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Accumulated deficit in the period the standard was adopted. See Note 9, Income Taxes, for additional details.

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. In First Quarter 2018, the Company adopted the guidance using the modified retrospective method resulting in only those contracts that were open as of the date of adoption requiring assessment. The comparative information presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements was not restated and is reported under the accounting standards in effect for the periods presented. The adoption of this guidance did not have, and is not expected to have, a significant impact on our reported revenue, gross margin or income from operations.

Revenue includes sales of merchandise and delivery revenue related to merchandise sold. Substantially all of the Company's revenue is recognized when control of product passes to customers. Revenue is adjusted for estimated returns and volume rebates with a corresponding liability recorded. Effective in the First Quarter 2018, the Company changed its balance sheet presentation for estimated product returns by reporting a product return asset for the right to receive returned products and a returns liability for amounts expected to be refunded to customers as a result of product returns. The product return asset is reported within Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Prior to adoption, product return assets were netted against the returns liability and reported within Other current liabilities. The impact of the adoption was recorded as a non-cash transaction in Other operating assets and Other operating liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The returns liability and payments received from customers for future delivery of products are reported within Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the recording of these liabilities.

Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products

The Company sells gift certificates, gift cards and e-certificates (collectively, "gift cards") to customers through both the eCommerce and Retail channels. The gift cards do not have expiration dates. Revenue from gift cards is recognized when (i) the gift card is redeemed by the customer for merchandise, or (ii) as gift card breakage, an estimate of gift cards which will not be redeemed where the Company does not have a legal obligation to remit the value of the unredeemed gift cards to the relevant jurisdictions.

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. The Company has evaluated the impacts of this ASU and has identified a change in the timing of recognition of revenue from gift cards. The Company will recognize breakage income over the breakage period for the estimated portion of unredeemed gift cards that is unlikely to be redeemed where the Company does not have an obligation to remit the value of the unredeemed gift card to the relevant jurisdiction as unclaimed or abandoned property. Previously the Company recognized gift card breakage after three years of no activity, or when the likelihood of redemption was considered remote. This guidance was adopted by the Company during First Quarter 2018 and resulted in a cumulative impact to be recognized as a reduction in Accumulated deficit and Other current liabilities of $1.1 million for estimated gift card breakage occurring prior to Fiscal 2018, under the modified retrospective approach described under the preceding Revenue from Contracts with Customers section.

The impact of adoption on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 3, 2018 was:



(in thousands)	February 2, 2018 (As reported)			Impact of Adoption		February 3, 2018
Assets:
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	26,659		$	10,425	$	37,084
Liabilities:
Other current liabilities	100,257			9,365		109,622
Stockholder' equity:
Accumulated deficit	(29,810		)	1,060		(28,750		)

The impact of the new revenue recognition guidance on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 1, 2019 was:



(in thousands)	Balances Without Adoption			Impact of Adoption		As Reported
Assets:
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	25,381		$	11,193	$	36,574
Liabilities:
Other current liabilities	107,259			10,165		117,424
Stockholder' equity:
Accumulated deficit	(18,188		)	1,029		(17,159		)

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 guidance to reduce the current diversity in practice of the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments within the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. This guidance was effective for Lands' End in the first quarter of its Fiscal 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

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 Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. This guidance was adopted by the Company during First Quarter 2018. As a result of the adoption, the Company changed the presentation in its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods presented.

Leases

In February 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842), which will change how lessees account for leases. For most leases, a liability will be recorded on the balance sheet based on the present value of future lease obligations with a corresponding right-of-use asset. Primarily for those leases currently classified by the Company as operating leases, the Company will recognize a single lease cost, on a straight line basis, based on the combined amortization of the lease obligation and the right-of-use asset. The Company is a lessee under various lease agreements for its retail stores and equipment. These leases are currently accounted for as operating leases as discussed in Note 4, Leases. Upon transition, the Company will recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the retained earnings, on the opening balance sheet, in the period of adoption, using a modified retrospective approach. Lands’ End believes the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on its Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company plans to elect certain optional practical expedients which include the option to retain the current classification of leases entered into prior to February 1, 2019, and thus does not anticipate a material impact to the Consolidated Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company additionally plans to adopt an optional transition method finalized by the FASB in July 2018 that waives the requirement to apply this ASU in the comparative periods presented within the financial statements in the year of adoption. The Company is also evaluating and implementing changes to our accounting policies, processes, and internal controls to ensure compliance with the standard’s reporting and disclosure requirements as well as implementing a new lease accounting and management system to support the new accounting requirements. The new standard will be adopted in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 and the Company anticipates that the adoption will result in the recognition of an additional right-of-use asset and operating lease liability under noncancelable operating leases, net of deferred rent payments and tenant improvement allowances, ranging from approximately $16.0 million to $26.0 million as of the date of the adoption. Additionally, the Company expects to record an adjustment to Accumulated deficit related to impairments of right-of-use asset for certain leases.
