NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies



Basis of Presentation



The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods of the fiscal year ending February 2, 2019 and of the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018. Certain items included in these statements are based on management’s estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Foot Locker, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2018, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 29, 2018.

 

Other than the changes to the Revenue Recognition policies as a result of the recently adopted accounting standards discussed below, there were no significant changes to our significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2018.



Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements



In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of Topic 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 during the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective method. We recognized $5 million, or $4 million net of tax, as the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an increase to the opening balance of retained earnings.



In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. ASU 2016-16 requires recognition of income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The Company adopted this ASU during the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective method, and as a result increased deferred income tax assets by $37 million. The Company recorded an adjustment to opening retained earnings to write off the income tax effects that had been deferred from past intercompany transactions involving non-inventory assets. The Company also recorded deferred tax assets with an offset to opening retained earnings for amounts that were not previously recognized under the previous guidance but are recognized under this ASU.



Other recently adopted ASUs are discussed within the applicable disclosures on the following pages.



Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted



In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires lessees to recognize a lease liability, on a discounted basis, and a right-of-use asset for all leases, as well as additional disclosure regarding leasing arrangements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides an optional transition method of applying the new lease standard. Topic 842 can be applied using either a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the earliest period presented, or as permitted by ASU 2018-11, at the beginning of the period in which it is adopted. These new leasing standards are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods therein. The Company intends to adopt Topic 842 during the first quarter of 2019 using the optional transition method provided by ASU 2018-11. The Company has historically presented a non-GAAP measure to adjust its balance sheet to present operating leases as if they were capital leases. Based upon that analysis and our current evaluation of the standard, we estimate the adoption will result in the addition of $3.2 billion to $3.7 billion of assets and liabilities to our consolidated balance sheet, with no significant change to our consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. The actual amount of additional assets and liabilities that will be recorded upon adoption will depend on the discount and foreign currency rates that are in effect as of the adoption date, as well liabilities associated with  leases that will be executed before the adoption date. 



Other recently issued accounting pronouncements did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material effect on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Revenue Recognition



Store revenue is recognized at the point of sale and includes merchandise, net of returns, and excludes taxes. Revenue from layaway sales is recognized when the customer receives the product, rather than when the initial deposit is paid.



In conjunction with the adoption of Topic 606 during the first quarter of 2018, we have determined that revenue for merchandise that is shipped to our customers from our distribution centers and stores will be recognized upon shipment date. Total revenue recognized includes shipping and handling fees. We have determined that control of the promised good is passed to the customer upon shipment date since the customer has legal title, the rewards of ownership, and paid for the merchandise as of the shipment date. This reflects a change in timing in how we previously recognized revenue for our direct-to-customer sales. Prior to the adoption of Topic 606, the Company recognized such revenue upon date of delivery. As a result of this change, the Company recorded $1 million, net of tax, as an increase to opening retained earnings to reflect the cumulative effect of adopting this change. We have elected to account for shipping and handling as a fulfillment activity. The Company accrues the cost and recognized revenue for these activities upon shipment date.



Gift Cards



The Company sells gift cards which do not have expiration dates. Revenue from gift card sales is recorded when the gift cards are redeemed by customers. Effective as of the first quarter of 2018 with the adoption of Topic 606, gift card breakage is recognized as revenue in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the customer, unless there is a legal obligation to remit the value of unredeemed gift cards to the relevant jurisdictions. This reflects a change in our accounting for gift card breakage from the remote method to the proportional method. As a result of adopting Topic 606, the Company recorded $4 million, or $3 million net of tax, as an increase to opening retained earnings to reflect the cumulative effect of this change based upon historical redemption patterns.  Additionally, breakage income was previously recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses; however, with the adoption of this standard in the first quarter of 2018, this income is reported as part of sales. This change in classification is not considered significant.

3. Segment Information



The Company has integrated all available shopping channels including stores, websites, and catalogs. Store sales are primarily fulfilled from the store’s inventory, but may also be shipped from any of our distribution centers or from a different store location if an item is not available at the original store. Direct-to-customer orders are primarily shipped to our customers through our distribution centers but may also be shipped from any store or a combination of our distribution centers and stores depending on the availability of particular items.



Our operating segments are identified according to how our business activities are managed and evaluated by our chief operating decision maker, our CEO. Prior to fiscal 2018, the Company had two reportable segments: Athletic Stores and Direct-to-Customers. Beginning in fiscal 2018, the Company has changed its organizational and internal reporting structure in order to execute our omni-channel strategy. In light of these changes, the Company has re-evaluated its operating segments, which now reflect the combination of stores and direct-to-customer by geography. The Company has determined that it has two operating segments, North America and International. Our North America operating segment includes the results of the following banners operating in the U.S. and Canada: Foot Locker, Kids Foot Locker, Lady Foot Locker, Champs Sports, Footaction, and SIX:02, including each of their related e-commerce businesses, as well as our Eastbay business that includes internet, catalog, and team sales. Our International operating segment includes the results of the following banners operating in Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand: Foot Locker, Runners Point, Sidestep, and Kids Foot Locker, including each of their related e-commerce businesses. We have further aggregated these operating segments into one reportable segment based upon their shared customer base and similar economic characteristics. Prior-year information has been restated to reflect this change.



The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is the banner’s financial results referred to as division profit. Division profit reflects income before income taxes, pension litigation charge, corporate expense, non-operating income, and net interest income. The following table summarizes our results:

6. Goodwill



Annually during the first quarter, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, the Company reviews goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment.



As a result of the first quarter 2018 change in our organizational and internal reporting structure, we have determined that we have one reportable segment. We have reassessed our reporting units in light of this change and have deemed the collective omni-channel banners in North America and International to be the two reporting units at which goodwill is tested. Therefore, goodwill was re-allocated to these reporting units based on their relative fair values. As required, we conducted our annual impairment review both before and after this change. Neither review resulted in the recognition of impairment, as the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value.

The change in the ending balances also reflects the effect of foreign currency fluctuations due primarily to the movements of the euro in relation to the U.S. dollar.

9. Income Taxes



In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”). This update provides guidance on income tax accounting implications under Public Law 115-97, informally known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"), which was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax by, among other things, lowering the statutory corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, eliminating certain deductions, imposing a mandatory one-time tax on accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries, introducing new tax regimes, and changing how foreign earnings are subject to U.S. tax. SAB 118 addressed the application of GAAP to situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act. 



As of February 3, 2018, the Company had not completed the determination of the accounting implications of the Tax Act on the Company’s tax accruals. However, we reasonably estimated the effects of the Tax Act and recognized a provisional net tax expense of $99 million associated with the Tax Act in the fourth quarter of 2017. During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018, the Company reduced its provisional calculation by $16 million and $17 million, respectively, which primarily represented revised estimates of foreign tax credits.

FOOT LOCKER, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Our accounting for the Tax Act is still incomplete as we have not finalized the taxation of deemed repatriation of foreign income previously deferred from U.S. income taxes and adjustments to our deferred taxes. We are continuing to analyze additional information, regulatory guidance, and developing technical interpretations to complete our accounting for these items. Our accounting will be completed during the fourth quarter as provided by SAB 118.



The Company continues to evaluate the provisions of the Tax Act, including the global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”), the foreign derived intangible income (“FDII”) provisions, and the base erosion and anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”). The Company has made an accounting policy election to treat GILTI taxes as a current period expense.



The ultimate effect of the Tax Act may differ from these provisional amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, as well as any related actions the Company may take.



For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018, the Company recorded income tax provisions of $16 million and $107 million, which represented effective tax rates of 10.8 percent and 21.8 percent, respectively. For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2017, the Company recorded income tax provisions of $54 million and $165 million, which represented effective tax rates of 34.7 percent and 33.2 percent, respectively. The Company’s interim provision for income taxes is measured using an annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items that occur within the periods presented. 





10. Fair Value Measurements



The Company’s financial assets recorded at fair value are categorized as follows:





 

 

 

Level 1 

Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.







 

 

 

Level 2 –

Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets.



 

 



Level 3 –

Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable.



The following table provides a summary of the Company’s recognized assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
