Leases [Abstract]

Lease Accounting

Lease Accounting

The Company primarily leases its showrooms, advertising, licensing, sales and merchandising offices, remote distribution and warehousing facilities and retail and factory outlet store locations under operating lease agreements expiring on various dates through January 2039. The Company also leases some of its equipment as well as computer hardware and software under operating and finance lease agreements expiring on various dates through May 2027.

The Company’s lease agreements primarily provide for lease payments based on a minimum annual rental amount, a percentage of annual sales volume, periodic adjustments related to inflation or a combination of such lease payments. Certain retail store leases provide for rents based upon the minimum annual rental amount and a percentage of annual sales volume, generally ranging from 3% to 24%, when specific sales volumes are exceeded. The Company’s retail concession leases also provide for rents primarily based upon a percentage of annual sales volume which average approximately 35% of annual sales volume. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

In addition to the amounts as disclosed below, the Company has estimated additional operating lease commitments of approximately $11.9 million for leases where the Company has not yet taken possession of the underlying asset as of February 1, 2020. As such, the related operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities have not been recognized in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of February 1, 2020.
