Fiscal Year
The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Thursday on or preceding December 31st. Fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 (“fiscal 2020”) includes 53 weeks, and the fiscal year ended December 26, 2019 (“fiscal 2019”) included 52 weeks. When a 53-week fiscal year occurs, we report the additional week at the end of the fiscal fourth quarter. 52-week fiscal years consist of thirteen-week periods in each quarter of the fiscal year.
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 26, 2019 has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet for the fiscal year then ended. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 20, 2020 (the “Annual Report”).
Management believes the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented.
Results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2020 and September 26, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full years.
Impairment Assessment of Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Impairment Assessment of Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more often if events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets may not be recoverable. We assess the value of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets under either a qualitative or quantitative approach. Under a qualitative approach, the Company evaluates various market and other factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the Company’s goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets have been impaired. In performing the qualitative assessment, the Company considers the carrying value of its single reporting unit compared to its fair value as well as events and changes in circumstances that could include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in customer demand or business climate, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, and significant adverse changes in the price of the Company’s common stock. If such qualitative assessment indicates that impairment may have occurred, an additional quantitative assessment is performed by comparing the carrying value of the assets to their respective estimated fair values. If the recorded carrying value of goodwill or an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment charge is recorded to write the asset down to its estimated fair value.
Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, the Company qualitatively assessed whether it was more likely than not that the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets were impaired as of March 26, 2020. As part of this assessment, the Company considered information available as of the April 30, 2020 filing date of its first quarter fiscal 2020 10-Q related to the negative financial impact that resulted from temporary store closures and limited curbside operations beginning in late March. Based on this interim impairment assessment, the Company determined that its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets were not impaired as of March 26, 2020. Further, the Company considered events and changes in circumstances subsequent to April 30, 2020, including the improvement in sales since reopening stores to customers for in-store shopping, and did not identify an indication of impairment of its goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets as of September 24, 2020.
Leases
Leases
During the second and third quarters of fiscal 2020, the Company negotiated rent deferrals or abatements for a significant number of its stores due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has also delayed rent payments for some stores as negotiations are in process with landlords. Total payments delayed or deferred as of September 24, 2020 were approximately $8.1 million, of which $7.1 million was included in the current portion of lease liabilities and $1.0 million was included in lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Staff Q&A - Topic 842: "Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic" issued in April 2020, the Company has elected to account for lease concessions that do not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee as though enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed in the original lease agreements. For qualified rent deferrals, the Company has recognized a non-interest bearing accrued liability, which will be reduced when the deferred payment is made in the future. For qualifying rent abatement concessions, which are immaterial in aggregate, the Company is recognizing negative lease expense for the amount of the abatement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2020, the Company recognized approximately $0.1 million of negative lease expense related to rent abatement concessions.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Implementation Costs Incurred in Cloud Computing Arrangements. In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-15, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract.” ASU No. 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-15 on a prospective basis for implementation costs for new or existing arrangements incurred on or after the adoption date. The adoption of ASU No. 2018-15 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Credit Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which modifies the measurement approach for credit losses on financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis from an 'incurred loss' method to an 'expected loss' method. The amended guidance requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information, including historical experience, current conditions, and a reasonable and supportable forecast that affects the collectability of the related financial asset. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Reference Rate Reform. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848),” which provides optional guidance to ease the potential accounting and financial reporting burden of reference rate reform, including the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The new guidance provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. These transactions include contract modifications, hedging relationships, and the sale or transfer of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity. Entities may apply the provisions of the new standard as of the beginning of the reporting period when the election is made. Unlike other topics, the provisions of this update are only available until December 31, 2022, by which time the reference rate replacement activity is expected to be completed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and has yet to elect an adoption date.
Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The ASU also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application among reporting entities. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
