PART I
Item 1.
BusinessBUSINESS AND PRODUCTS
Overview
We are a globalleading branded apparel company that designs, sources, markets and distributes products bearing the trademarks of our Tommy Bahama®, Lilly Pulitzer® and Southern Tide®portfolio of lifestyle brands, other owned brands and licensed brands as well as private label apparel products. During Fiscal 2016, 92% of our net sales were from products bearing brands that we own and 66% of our net sales were through our direct to consumer channels of distribution. In Fiscal 2016, 96% of our consolidated net sales were to customers located in the United States, with the sales outside the United States consisting primarily of ourbrands: Tommy Bahama, products in CanadaLilly Pulitzer, Johnny Was, Southern Tide, TBBC and the Asia-Pacific region.
Our business strategy is to develop and market compelling lifestyle brands and products that evoke a strong emotional response from our target consumers. We consider lifestyle brands to be those brands that have a clearly defined and targeted point of view inspired by an appealing lifestyle or attitude. Furthermore, we believe lifestyle brands like Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Southern Tide that create an emotional connection with consumers can command greater loyalty and higher price points at retail and create licensing opportunities, which may drive higher earnings.opportunities. We believe the attraction of a lifestyle brand depends on creating compelling product, effectively communicating the respective lifestyle brand message and distributing products to consumers where and when they want it.
To further strengthen each lifestyle brand'sbrand’s connections with consumers, we directly communicate with consumers through electronicdigital and print media on a regular basis.basis with our loyal consumers, including the approximately 2.5 million who have transacted with us in the last year. We believe our ability to effectively communicate the images, lifestyle and products of our brands and create an emotional connection with consumers is critical to the success of the brands. Our advertising for our brands, often attempts to conveyas evidenced by our advertising which engages our consumers by conveying the lifestyle of the brand as well asbrand.
We believe the attraction of each of our lifestyle brands is a specific product.
During Fiscal 2022, 80% of our consolidated net sales were through our direct to consumer channels consisting of distribution, which consist of our brand specific full-price retail stores, e-commerce websites and outlets, as well as our Tommy Bahama food and Lilly Pulitzerbeverage operations. During Fiscal 2022, the breakdown of our consolidated net sales by direct to consumer channel was as follows: full-price retail storesof $487 million, or 35%; e-commerce of $465 million, or 33%; food and our e-commerce sites for Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzerbeverage of $109 million, or 8%; and Southern Tide, and through our wholesale distribution channels.outlet operations of $66 million, or 5%. Our direct to consumer operations provide us with the opportunity to interact directly with our customers, present to them a broad assortment of our current season products and immerse them in the theme of the lifestyle brand. We believe that presenting our products in a digital or physical setting specifically designed to showcase the lifestyle on which the brands are based enhances the image of our brands.
Our 128 Tommy Bahama257 full-price retail stores allow us the opportunity to carry a full line of current season merchandise, including apparel, accessories and 40 Lilly Pulitzerother products, all presented in an aspirational brand-specific atmosphere. We believe that our full-price retail stores provide high visibility for our brands and products and allow us to stay close to the preferences of our consumers,consumers. Further, we believe that our presentation of products and our strategy to operate the full-price retail stores with limited in-store promotional activities enhance the value and reputation of our lifestyle brands and, in turn, strengthen our business and relationships with key wholesale customers. While about one-half of our full-price retail stores are located in warm weather resort or travel-to destinations and states, we believe there are
7
opportunities for new stores in both warmer and colder climates, as we believe the more important consideration is whether the location attracts the affluent consumer that we are targeting.
Our brand-specific e-commerce business continues to grow. Our e-commerce business is very profitable as we have a high gross margin on e-commerce sales of approximately 70% while also providingaveraging in excess of $125 per order. Our high average order value and high gross margins allow us to absorb any incremental picking, packing and freight expense associated with operating an e-commerce business and still maintain a platform for long-term growth for the brands. Inhigh profit margin on e-commerce sales.
Additionally, our Tommy Bahama we also operate 17brand operates 21 food and beverage locations, including Marlin Bars and full-service restaurants, generally adjacent to a Tommy Bahama full-price retail store location, which we believe further enhance the brand's imagestore. These food and beverage locations provide us with consumers.
The wholesale operationsremaining 20% of our lifestyle brandsnet sales were generated through our wholesale distribution channels, which complement our direct to consumer operations and provide access to a larger groupbase of consumers. Our wholesale operations consist of sales of products bearing the trademarks of our lifestyle brands to various specialty stores, better department stores, multi-branded e-commerce retailers and other retailers.
As we seek to maintain the integrity and continued success of our lifestyle brands by limiting promotional activity in our full-price retail stores and e-commerce websites, we intend to maintain controlled distribution with careful selection of the retailers through which we sell our products and generally target wholesale customers that follow this same approach in their stores. Oura limited promotions approach. We continue to value our long-standing relationships with our wholesale customers for our Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Southern Tide brands include better department stores and specialty stores, including Signature Stores for Lilly Pulitzer and Southern Tide. Within our Lanier Apparel operating group, we sell tailored clothing and sportswear products under licensed brands, private labels and owned brands. Lanier Apparel's customers include department stores, discount and off-price retailers, warehouse clubs, national chains, specialty retailers and others throughoutare committed to working with them to enhance the United States.
We operate in a highly competitive apparel markets in which numerous U.S.-based and foreign apparel firms compete. No single apparel firm or small groupmarket that continues to evolve rapidly with the expanding application of apparel firms dominates the apparel industry, and our direct
This competitive and evolving environment requires that brands and retailers approach their operations, including marketing and advertising, very differently than they have historically and may result in increased operating costs and investments to generate growth or even maintain existing sales levels. While the competition and evolution present significant risks, especially for traditional retailers who fail or are unable to adapt, we believe it also presents a tremendous opportunity for brands and retailers to capitalize on the changing consumer environment.
No single apparel firm or small group of apparel firms dominates the apparel industry, and our competitors vary by operating group and distribution channel. The apparel industry is cyclical and very dependent on the overall level and focus of discretionary consumer spending, which changes as consumer preferences and regional, domestic and international economic conditions change. Also, in recent years consumers have chosen to spend less of their discretionary spending on certain product categories, including apparel, while spending more on services and other product categories.
Further, negative economic conditions often have a longer and more severe impact on the apparel industry than on other industries due, in part, to apparel purchases often being more of a discretionary purchase. The current macroenvironment, with heightened concerns about inflation, a global economic recession, geopolitical issues, the stability of the U.S. banking system, the availability and cost of credit and continued increases in interest rates, is creating a complex and challenging retail environment, which may impact our businesses and exacerbate some of the
8
inherent challenges to our operations. There remains significant uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment, and the impact of these and other factors could have a major effect on our businesses.
Investments and Opportunities
The evolution in the fashion retail industry presents significant risks, especially for traditional retailers and others who fail or are unable to adapt, but we believe it also presents a tremendous opportunity for brands and retailers to capitalize on the changing consumer environment. We believe our lifestyle brands have true competitive advantages in this new retailing paradigm, and we continue to invest in and leverage technology to serve our consumers when and where they want to be served. We continue to believe that our lifestyle brands, with their strong emotional connections with consumers, are well suited to succeed and thrive in the long term while managing the various challenges facing our industry. Further, each of our brands aims to further enhance its customer-focused, dynamic, thriving, digitally-driven, mobile-centered, cross-channel personalized and seamless shopping experience that recognizes and serves customers in their brand discovery and purchasing habits of the future.
We believe there are ample opportunities to expand the reach of each of our lifestyle brands in the future, including the opening of new direct to consumer locations, e-commerce growth and wholesale operations expansion. In order to expand the reach and maximize the success of each of our brands, we believe we must continue to invest in the lifestyle brands to take advantage of their long-term growth opportunities. Future investments include capital expenditures primarily related to direct to consumer operations, such as technology enhancements, e-commerce initiatives and direct to consumer location build-outs for new, relocated or remodeled locations, as well as distribution center enhancements and administrative office expenditures. In addition to our capital investments, we must continue to invest in our SG&A expense infrastructure, including people, technology, advertising and other resources. While we believe that our investments will generate long-term benefits, the investments may have a short-term negative impact on our operating margin, particularly if there is insufficient sales growth to absorb the incremental costs in a particular year. Fiscal 2023 will be a particularly heavy year for both capital expenditures and SG&A, which is expected to decrease our operating margins from the levels achieved in Fiscal 2022.
Meanwhile, as we grow we must be very diligent in our effort to avoid compromising the integrity of our brands by becoming overly promotional or maintaining or growing internet purchases.
While we believe we have significant opportunities to appropriately deploy our capital and resources in our existing lifestyle brands, we will continue to evaluate opportunities to add additional lifestyle brands, both large and small, to our portfolio if we identify appropriate targets that meet our investment criteria and/or take strategic measures to return capital to our shareholders as and when circumstances merit. For example, we acquired Johnny Was on September 19, 2022.
Important factors relating to certain risks, many of which are beyond our ability to control or predict, which could impact our business are described in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of this report.
Operating Groups
We identify our operating groups based on the way our management organizes the components of our business for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. Our operating group structure reflects a brand-focused management approach, emphasizing operational coordination and resource allocation across each brand'sbrand’s direct to consumer, wholesale and licensing operations, as applicable.

Direct to Consumer Operations
A key component of our Tommy Bahama growth strategy is to operate our ownretail stores, and e-commerce websites and food and beverage concepts, which we believe permits us to develop and build brand awareness by presenting our products in a setting specifically designed to showcase the aspirational lifestyle on which the products are based. Our Tommy Bahama direct to consumer channels, which consist of full-price retail store, e-commerce, food and restaurantbeverage and outlet store operations, in the aggregate, represented 77%83% of Tommy Bahama'sBahama’s net sales in Fiscal 2016. We expect the percentage of our Tommy Bahama sales which are direct to consumer sales will increase slightly in future years as we anticipate that the direct to consumer distribution channel will grow at a faster pace than the wholesale distribution channel. Retail2022. Full-price retail store, e-commerce, food and restaurantbeverage and outlet store net sales accounted for 50%39%, 16%24%, 13% and 11%7%, respectively, of Tommy Bahama'sBahama’s net sales in Fiscal 2016.
Our direct to consumer strategy for the Tommy Bahama brand includes locating and operating full-price retail stores in upscale malls, lifestyle shopping centers, resort destinations and brand-appropriate street locations. Generally, we seek shopping areas and malls with high-profile or upscale consumer brands for our full-price retail stores. As of January 28, 2017, the majority of our Tommy Bahama full-price retail stores were in street-front locations or lifestyle centers with the remainder primarily in regional indoor malls. Our full-price retail stores allow us the opportunity to carry a full line of current season merchandise, including apparel, home products and accessories, all presented in an aspirational, island-inspired atmosphere designed to be relaxed, comfortable and unique. We believe that the Tommy Bahama full-price retail stores provide high visibility for the brand and products, and allow us to stay close to the preferences of our consumers. Further, we believe that our presentation of products and our strategy to operate the full-price retail stores with limited in-store promotional activities are good for the Tommy Bahama brand and, in turn, enhance business with our wholesale customers. Generally, we believe there are opportunities for full-price retail stores in both warmer and colder climates, as we believe the more important consideration is whether the location attracts the affluent consumer that we are targeting.

Our direct to consumer strategy for the Tommy Bahama brand also includes locating and operating full-price retail stores in upscale malls, lifestyle shopping centers, resort destinations and brand-appropriate street locations. Generally, we seek to locate our full-price retail stores in shopping areas and malls that have high-profile or upscale consumer brand adjacencies. As of January 28, 2023, the majority of our Tommy Bahama full-price retail stores were in street-front locations or lifestyle centers with the remainder primarily in regional indoor malls, with a number of those regional indoor locations in resort travel destinations. We believe that we have opportunities for continued sales growth for Tommy Bahama, particularly in our women’s business, which represented 34% and 33% of sales in our direct to consumer operations in Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, respectively, with women’s swim representing about one-fourth of the women’s business. For Tommy Bahama’s domestic full-price retail stores and retail-food and beverage locations operating for the full Fiscal 2022 year, sales per gross square foot, excluding food and beverage sales and food and beverage space, were approximately $790, compared to approximately $645 in Fiscal 2021.
As of January 28, 2023, we operated 21 Tommy Bahama food and beverage locations including 13 restaurants and eight Marlin Bar locations, generally adjacent to a Tommy Bahama full-price retail store operationslocation. These retail-food and beverage locations, which generated approximately 25% of Tommy Bahama’s net sales in Fiscal 2022, provide us with the opportunity to immerse customers in the ultimate Tommy Bahama experience. We do not anticipate that the majority of our full-price retail locations will have an adjacent food and beverage location; however, we have determined that an adjacent food and beverage location can further enhance the image or wholesale operations. exposure of the brand in select, high-profile, brand appropriate locations. The net sales per square foot in our domestic full-price retail stores that are adjacent to a food and beverage location have historically been approximately twice the sales per square foot of our other domestic full-price retail stores. We believe that the customer immersing themselves into the Tommy Bahama lifestyle by having a meal or a drink at the Tommy Bahama food and beverage location and visiting the adjacent full-price retail store may entice the customer to purchase additional Tommy Bahama merchandise and potentially provide a memorable consumer experience that further enhances the relationship between Tommy Bahama and the consumer. The Marlin Bar concept, like our traditional restaurant locations, is adjacent to one of our full-price retail store locations and serves food and beverages, but in a smaller space and with food options more focused on small plate offerings rather than entrees. We believe that the smaller footprint, reduced labor requirements and lower required capital expenditure of the Marlin Bar concept provides us with the long-term potential for opening additional retail-food and beverage locations that are more in line with evolving customer trends toward fast casual dining, particularly with younger consumers.
Typically, at the end of the summer and holiday season, Tommy Bahama will conduct sales both in-store and online to move end of season product. Utilizing Tommy Bahama’s Enterprise Order Management (EOM) system, many
11
online orders will be fulfilled from retail stores, greatly reducing the amount of goods that ultimately get transferred from full-price retail stores to outlet stores. Tommy Bahama utilizes its outlet stores, which generated 7% of total Tommy Bahama sales in Fiscal 2022, and sales to off-price retailers to sell the remaining end of season or excess inventory. Our Tommy Bahama outlet stores are generally located in outlet shopping centers that include other upscale retailers and serve an important role in overall inventory management by often allowing us to sell discontinued and out-of-season products at better prices than are otherwise available from outside parties. We believe that this approach has helped us protect the integrity of the Tommy Bahama brand by allowing our full-price retail stores to limit promotional activity while controlling the distribution of discontinued and out-of-season product. To supplement the clearance items sold in Tommy Bahama outlets, we merchandise our Tommy Bahama outlets with certain made-for products. Currently, we operate one outlet store for approximately every four full-price retail stores.

In future periods, we anticipate that many of our new Tommy Bahama store openings will be Marlin Bar locations that are either new locations or conversions of existing full-price retail stores. Currently, we have three Marlin Bar openings scheduled for Fiscal 2016, we held a select number of e-commerce flash clearance sales as a means of complementing our outlets in liquidating discontinued or out-of-season inventory. These sales represented 10%2023, including the conversion of Tommy Bahama e-commerce salesfull-price retail locations in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida and San Antonio, Texas as well as a new Marlin Bar in Winter Park, Florida. We also have other locations in the pipeline for openings in Fiscal 2016.2024 and beyond and anticipate opening as many as five Marlin Bar locations in Fiscal 2024, subject to lease negotiation, construction timing and other factors. We continue to look for other appropriate locations for full-price retail stores and Marlin Bars. In addition to the planned Marlin Bars, we also have
12
two full-price retail store relocations and a couple of other new locations in negotiation. We believe that in Fiscal 2023, we may close a limited number of locations, including certain outlets and full-price retail locations.
The construction of and relocation of retail stores requires a greater amount of initial capital investment than wholesale operations, as well as greater operating costs. In addition to new store openings, we also incur capital expenditure costs related to remodels or expansions of existing stores, particularly when we renew or extend a lease beyond the original lease term, or otherwise determine that a remodel of a store is appropriate. The cost of a Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar is significantly more than the cost of a full-price retail store and can vary significantly depending on a variety of factors. Historically, the cost to build out our Marlin Bar locations has been approximately $3 million and future locations may be more expensive than that amount. For most of our full-price retail stores and our Marlin Bar locations, the landlord often provides certain incentives to fund a portion of our capital expenditures.

To complement our direct to consumer operations is dependent, in part, upon controlled wholesale distribution with careful selectionand have access to a larger group of the retailers through which Lilly Pulitzer products are sold. Lilly Pulitzer apparel products are available in more than 250 locations of our wholesale customers.

During the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023, we acquired three Southern Tide website. In the future,Signature Stores located in Massachusetts, and during Fiscal 2023 we may open owned retail stores; however, we do not expect to open any owned retailat least five additional Southern Tide stores, with the majority of those in Florida, resulting in a planned store count increase of eight or more for Southern Tide during Fiscal 2023. Additionally, for TBBC, we anticipate opening two new stores during Fiscal 2017. The2023. We continue to look at additional opportunities for new full-price store locations for both Southern Tide website marketsand TBBC. The operation of full-price retail stores requires a full linegreater amount of merchandise, including apparel and accessories, all presented in a manner intended to enhance the Southern Tide image, brand awareness and acceptance. We believe our Southern Tide website enables us to stay close to the needs and preferences of consumers.
Lanier Apparel
In Fiscal 2021, we exited our Lanier Apparel business, which had been focused on moderately priced tailored clothing and related products. This decision aligns with our stated business strategy of developing and marketing compelling lifestyle brands. It also affordstook into consideration the opportunity to enhance overall brand awareness and exposure.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and Other is a reconciling category for reporting purposes and includes our corporate offices, substantially all financing activities, the elimination of inter-segment sales, LIFO inventory accounting adjustments,any other costsitems that are not allocated to the operating groups, and operations of other businesses which are not included in our operating groups, including our Lyons, Georgia distribution center operations (which performs warehouse and distribution services for third parties, as wellLIFO inventory accounting adjustments as our Southern Tide and Lanier Apparel businesses). Our LIFO inventory pool does not correspond to our operating group definitions; therefore, LIFO inventory accounting adjustments are not allocated to operating groups.
TRADEMARKS
We own trademarks, severalmany of which are very important and valuable to our business, including Tommy Bahama,Bahama®, Lilly PulitzerPulitzer®, Johnny Was®, Southern Tide®, The Beaufort Bonnet Company® and Southern Tide.Duck Head®. Generally, our significant trademarks are subject to registrations and pending applications throughout the world for use on apparel and, in some cases, apparel-related products, accessories, home furnishings and beauty products, as well as in connection
18
with retail services. We continue to evaluate our worldwide usage and registration of certain of our trademarks. In general, trademarks remain valid and enforceable as long as the trademarks are used in connection with our products and services in the relevant jurisdiction and the required registration renewals are filed. Important factors relating to risks associated with our trademarks include, but are not limited to, those described in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors.
ADVERTISING AND MARKETING
During Fiscal 2022, we incurred $82 million, or 6% of net sales, of advertising expense. Advertising and marketing are an integral part of the long-term strategy for our lifestyle brands, and we therefore devote significant resources to these efforts. Thus, we believe that it is very important that our brands communicate regularly with consumers about product offerings or other brand events in order to maintain and strengthen connections with consumers. Our advertising emphasizes the respective brand’s image and lifestyle and attempts to engage individuals within the target consumer demographic and guide them on a regular basis to our e-commerce websites, direct to consumer locations or wholesale customers’ stores and websites in search of our products.
We increasingly utilize digital marketing, social media and email, and continue to use traditional direct mail communications, to interact with our consumers. We vary our engagement tactics to elevate the consumer experience as we attract new consumers, drive conversion, build loyalty, activate consumer advocacy and address the transformation of consumer shopping behaviors. Our creative marketing teams design and produce imagery and content, social media strategies and email and print campaigns designed to inspire the consumer and drive traffic to the brand. We attempt to increase our brand awareness through a strategic emphasis on technology and the elevation of our digital presence which encompasses e-commerce, mobile e-commerce, digital media, social media and influencer marketing. In this environment where many people are digital-first consumers, we continue to enhance our approach to digital marketing and invest in analytical capabilities to promote a more personalized experience across our distribution channels. At the same time, we continue to innovate to better meet consumer online shopping preferences (e.g. loyalty, ratings and reviews and mobile phone applications) and build brand equity. The ongoing trend towards a digital first consumer that was accelerated as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic provided a catalyst for accelerating the implementation of new direct to consumer business models and consumer engagement programs, such as selling through social media.
Marketing initiatives in our direct to consumer operations may include special event promotions, including loyalty award card, Flip Side, Friends & Family and gift with purchase events and a variety of public relations activities designed to create awareness of our brands and products, drive traffic to our websites and stores, convert new consumers and increase demand and loyalty. Our various initiatives are effective in increasing online and in-store traffic resulting in the proportion of our sales that occur during our marketing initiatives increasing in recent years, which puts some downward pressure on our direct to consumer gross margins.
We believe that highly visible full-price retail stores with creative design, broad merchandise selection and brand appropriate visual presentation are key enticements for customers to visit and buy merchandise. We believe that full-price retail stores attract new consumers and enhance the shopping experience of our existing customers, which will increase consumer brand loyalty, our net sales and sales of our products by our wholesale customers.
Our marketing may also include sponsorships, collaborations, and co-branding initiatives, which may be for a particular cause or non-profit organization that is expected to resonate with target consumers. For certain of our wholesale customers, we may also provide point-of-sale materials and signage to enhance the presentation of our products at their retail locations and/or participate in cooperative advertising programs.
PRODUCT DESIGN
We believe the principal competitive factors in the apparel industry are the reputation, value, and image of brand names; design of differentiated, innovative or otherwise compelling product; consumer preference; price; quality; marketing (including through rapidly shifting digital and social media vehicles); product fulfillment capabilities; and customer service. Our ability to compete successfully in the apparel industry is dependent on our proficiency in foreseeing changes and trends in fashion and consumer preference and presenting appealing products for consumers. Our
19
design-led, commercially informed lifestyle brand operations strive to provide exciting, differentiated products each season.
Each of our lifestyle brands’ products are designed and developed by dedicated brand-specific teams who focus on the target consumer for the respective brand. The design process includes feedback from buyers, consumers and sales agents, along with market trend research. Our apparel products generally incorporate fabrics made of cotton, silk, linen, nylon, leather, tencel and other natural and man-made fibers, or blends of two or more of these materials.
PRODUCT SOURCING
We intend to maintain flexible, diversified, cost-effective sourcing operations that provide high-quality apparel and related products. Our operating groups, either internally, using in-house employees located in the United States and/or Hong Kong, or through the use of third party buying agents, source virtuallymanage the production and sourcing of substantially all of our apparel and related products from non-exclusive, third party producers located in foreign countries, with a significant concentration in Asia, or from our licensees for licensed products sold in our direct to consumer distribution channels. During Fiscal 2016, we sourced approximately 58% and 16% of our products from producers located in China and Vietnam, respectively, with no other country greater than 10%. countries.
Although we place a high value on long-term relationships with our suppliers of apparel and related products and have used many of our suppliers for a number of years, generally we do not have long-term contracts with our suppliers. Instead, we conduct business on an order-by-order basis. Thus, we compete with other companies for the production capacity of independent manufacturers. We believe that this approach provides us with the greatest flexibility in identifying the appropriate manufacturers while considering quality, cost, timing of product delivery and other criteria and also utilizing the expertise of the manufacturers.criteria. During Fiscal 2016,2022, we purchased our products from more than 250 suppliers, with a significant concentration of suppliers in Asia. Our 10 largest suppliers provided approximately one-third of our product purchases. During Fiscal 2022, no individual third party manufacturer, suppliedlicensee or other supplier provided more than 10% of our product purchases in total. We generally acquire products sold in our food and beverage operations from various third party domestic suppliers, with a particular emphasis on procuring sustainably sourced food and locally grown produce.
During Fiscal 2022, approximately 36%, 23%, and 11% of our apparel and related products acquired directly by us or via buying agents, were from producers located in China, Vietnam and Peru, respectively, with no other country representing more than 10% of such purchases.
We purchase virtually all of our apparel and related products from third party producers, substantially all as package purchases of finished goods, whichgoods. These products are manufactured with oversight by us or our third party buying agents and to our design and fabric specifications. The use of contractthird party manufacturers reduces the amount of capital investment required by us, as operating manufacturing facilities can requirerequires a significant amount of capital investment.investment, labor and oversight. We depend upon the ability ofon third party producers to secure a sufficient supply of specified raw materials, specified by us, adequately finance the production of goods ordered and maintain sufficient manufacturing and shipping capacity rather than us providing or financing the costs of these items.capacity. We believe that purchasing substantially all of our products as package purchases allows us to reduce our working capital requirements as we are not required to purchase, or finance the purchase of, the raw materials or other production costs related to our apparel and related product purchases until we take ownership of the finished goods, which typically occurs when the goods are shipped by the third party producers. In addition to purchasing products from third parties, our Lanier Apparel operating group operates our only owned manufacturing facility, which is located in Merida, Mexico and produced 2% of our total company, or 10% of our total Lanier Apparel, products during Fiscal 2016.
As the design, manufacture and transportation of apparel and related products for our brands may take as many as six months for each season, we typically make commitments months in advance of when products will arrive in our full-price retail stores or our wholesale customers'customers’ stores. We continue to seek ways to reduce the time required from design and ordering to bringing products to our customer. As our merchandising departments must estimate our requirements for finished goods purchases for our own full-price retail stores and e-commerce sites based on historical product demand data and other factors, and as purchases for our
20
all wholesale customer orders, in some cases, we carry the risk that we have purchased more inventory than will ultimately be desired or that we will ultimately desire.
As part of our commitment to source our products in a lawful, ethical and socially responsible manner, each of our operating groups has implemented a code of conduct program applicable to vendors from whom we purchase goods,apparel and related products, which includes provisions related to abiding by applicable laws as well as compliance with other business or ethical standards, including related human rights, health, safety, working conditions, environmental and other requirements. We require that each of our vendors and licensees comply with the applicable code of conduct or substantially similar compliance standards. All of our vendors from whom we purchase goods are also required by us to adhere to the United States Customs and Border Protection’s Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism program, including standards relating to facility, procedural, personnel and cargo security.
On an ongoing basis we assess vendors'vendors’ compliance with the applicable code of conduct and applicable laws and regulations through audits performed by either our employees or our designated agents. This assessmentWe periodically review each tier 1 supplier’s compliance with our requirements and conduct social compliance audits more frequently depending on the severity of compliance by vendors is directed by our corporate leadership team.issues identified and the cooperation received during remediation. In the event we determine that a vendor is not abiding by our required standards, we work with the vendor to remediate the violation. If the violation is not satisfactorily remediated, we will discontinue use of the vendor.
CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
We believe that as a leading apparel company, we have a responsibility to reduce our environmental impact and make the world a better place for all people. Our Board is ultimately charged with overseeing the risks to our business on behalf of our shareholders, and we believe that our Board’s active involvement in oversight of environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) initiatives affords us tremendous benefits. We report routinely to our Board and/or various Board committees about ESG risks and strategies and communicate insights provided by our directors to our brands to assist in formulating ESG goals and initiatives. Within our Corporate team, at the end of Fiscal 2022, we created an enterprise-wide Corporate Responsibility Department reporting to our General Counsel which, with input from our Executive Leadership Team, will focus in the immediate future on assessing ESG opportunities within our industry, establishing baseline metrics and objectives which we expect to publish in the future and collaborating with our brands on potential opportunities to execute brand-specific ESG initiatives.
Reducing our Footprint
Our business operations – throughout the value chain – impact the environment, and we are committed to identifying and executing commercially viable environmental sustainability initiatives to further a safer, more sustainable world for the generations that follow us. Our brands are continuously working to improve sustainability in direct to consumer location design and operations, and we have also undertaken efforts to implement sustainability measures at our offices and distribution centers.
Increasing our use of sustainable materials is and will continue to be a key priority, and we are excited to introduce products crafted from sustainable materials. For example, in Fiscal 2022, we launched the Tommy Bahama Palm ModernTM line of women’s swimwear, made with 75% recycled nylon. At Southern Tide, we reintroduced the Shoreline shorts, beloved by customers for their versatility and comfort, in 100% recycled materials. Within our businesses, we also seek to use preferred materials that are more environmentally responsible than their conventional counterparts like LENZINGTM, ECOVEROTM Viscose and TENCELTM Modal and raw materials that are certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard or Global Recycled Standard.
Our operating groups also maintain and enforce restricted substances lists, which are informed by the American Apparel & Footwear Association Environmental Task Force restricted substances list, to ensure that the use of chemicals in our products complies with all applicable legal and safety requirements.
We participate in various trade initiatives and organizations to better inform ourselves about risks, opportunities and best practices. We are a proud member of the American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA), and all of our
21
brands are signatories to the “Commitment to Responsible Recruiting” sponsored by the AAFA and the Fair Labor Association. Our Tommy Bahama business is a member of the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, and within our organization, we have membership in Better Cotton and partnerships with the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and FSC-certified suppliers.
Empowering our People
We believe that our long-term success as an organization relies on recruiting, developing, promoting and rewarding the best and most talented people within our industry. Diversity and inclusion are key components of our corporate responsibility framework, and we are committed to creating a culture where people have a sense of belonging and purpose to maximize their fullest potential. For more information about our workforce and diversity and inclusion initiatives, please refer to Part I, Item 1, Business—Human Capital Management.
Enriching our Communities
Since our founding in 1942, we have prided ourselves on being model citizens for the communities in which we operate. We focus our community initiatives on programs that can impact a broad set of constituents where we operate. Our community partners include the United Way of Greater Atlanta, the Woodruff Arts Center and Grady Hospital, and each of our operating groups partners with organizations improving quality of life in the communities where our customers and employees live and work, such as the Garden of Hope and Courage, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Folds of Honor and the Kentucky Children’s Hospital.
In 2020, we announced the launch of the Oxford Educational Access Initiative to further our goal of reducing economic and racial inequality through access to education. We believe that every child, regardless of race or economic circumstance, deserves the chance to learn and be successful. Over the course of four years beginning in 2021, we have given and will continue to give an aggregate of $1 million to community organizations with innovative program models that address a broad spectrum of educational challenges that children in underserved communities face. Each of our brands has selected recipient organizations that are working to address disparities in educational access and barriers to success for children in our local communities.
IMPORT RESTRICTIONS AND OTHER GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
We are exposed to certain risks as a result of our international operations as substantially all of our merchandise, as well as the products purchased by our licensing partners, is manufactured by foreign suppliers. During Fiscal 2016, we sourced approximately 58% of our products from producers located in China. Oursuppliers as discussed above. Products imported productsby us, or imported by others and ultimately sold to us, are subject to customs, trade and other laws and regulations governing their entry into the United States and other countries where we sell our products.
Substantially all of the merchandise we acquire is subject to certain duties which are assessed on the value of the imported product andproduct. These amounts represent a component of the inventories we sell and are included in cost of goods sold in our consolidated statements of operations. We paid total duties of more than $57 million on products imported into the goods we sell.United States directly by us in Fiscal 2022, with the average duty rate on those products of approximately 17% of the value of the imported product in Fiscal 2022. Duty rates vary depending on the type of garment, and its fiber content and country of origin and are subject to change in future periods. In addition, while the World Trade Organization'sOrganization’s member nations have eliminated quotas on apparel and textiles, the United States and other countries into which we import our products are still allowed in certain circumstances to unilaterally impose "anti-dumping" or "countervailing" duties in response to threats to their comparable domestic industries.
Although we have not been materially inhibited from doing business insourcing products from desired markets in the past, we cannot assure that significant impediments will not arise in the future as we expand product offerings and brands and enter into new markets. In addition, after the 2016 elections in the United States, there has been discussion ofrecent years the United States government implementing significant tax and trade reform, including disallowing deductibility of imported products, providing for a border adjustability tax mechanism for imports and other potential changes. There is a significant amount of uncertainty related to these topics; however ithas implemented additional duties on certain product categories across various industries. It is possible that the proposed changes, if implemented,additional duty increases could occur in future years, which could have a
22
significant unfavorable impact on the apparel retail industry and our cost of goods sold, operations, net sales, net earnings and cash flows. Our management regularly monitors proposed regulatory changes and the existing regulatory environment, including any impact on our operations or on our ability to import products.
In addition, apparel and other related products sold by us are subject to stringent and complex product performance and security and safety standards, laws and other regulations. These regulations relate principally to product labeling, certification of product safety and importer security procedures. We believe that we are in material compliance with those regulations. Our licensed products and licensing partners are also generally subject to such regulation. Our agreements require our licensing partners to operate in compliance with all laws and regulations.
Important factors relating to risks associated with government regulations include those described in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors.
DISTRIBUTION CENTERS
We operate a number of distribution centers. Our Auburn, Washington, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania and Los Angeles, California distribution centers serve our Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Johnny Was operating groups, respectively. Additionally, a third party distribution center in Los Angeles, California provides distribution services for the Johnny Was e-commerce operations. Our Lyons, Georgia distribution center provides primary distribution services for our smaller Southern Tide, TBBC and Duck Head businesses, as well as certain distribution services for our Lilly Pulitzer and Tommy Bahama businesses.
Activities at the distribution centers include receiving finished goods from suppliers, inspecting the products and shipping the products to our retail store, e-commerce and wholesale customers, as applicable. We seek to maintain sufficient levels of inventory at the distribution centers to support our direct to consumer operations, as well as pre-booked, at-once and some in-stock replenishment orders for our wholesale customers. We use a local third party distribution center for our Tommy Bahama Australia operations.
In Fiscal 2022, 80% of our net sales were direct to consumer sales, which are filled on a current basis; accordingly, an order backlog is not material to our business.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES
We believe that sophisticated information systems and functionality are important components of maintaining our competitive position and supporting continued growth of our businesses, particularly in the ever changingever-changing consumer shopping environment. Our information systems are designed to provide effective retail store, e-commerce, food and beverage and wholesale operations while emphasizing efficient point-of-sale, distribution center, design, sourcing, order processing, marketing, customer relationship management, accounting and other functions. We regularly evaluate the adequacy of our information technologies and upgrade or enhance our systems to gain operating efficiencies, to provide additional consumer access and to support our anticipated growth as well as other changes in our business. We believe that continuous upgrading and enhancements to our information systems with newer technology that offers greater efficiency, functionality and reporting capabilities is critical to our operations and financial condition. We plan to increase our investment in information technology initiatives in Fiscal 2023 compared to Fiscal 2022 levels which will result in increased capital expenditures and SG&A and decrease operating margin from the levels achieved in Fiscal 2022 in the near term but provide significant long term benefits to our business operations and financial success.
LICENSING AND OTHER DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS
We license certain of our trademarks, including the Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzer names, to licensees in categories beyond our brands’ core product categories. We believe licensing is an attractive business opportunity for our larger lifestyle brands. Once a brand is more fully established, licensing typically requires modest additional investment but can yield high-margin income. It also affords the opportunity to enhance overall brand awareness and exposure. In
23
evaluating a licensee for our brands, we consider the candidate’s experience, financial stability, sourcing expertise and marketing ability. We also evaluate the marketability and compatibility of the proposed licensed products with the brand image and our own products.
Our agreements with our licensees are brand specific, relate to specific geographic areas and have expirations at various dates in the future, with contingent renewal options in limited cases. Generally, the agreements require minimum royalty payments as well as royalty payments based on specified percentages of the licensee’s net sales of the licensed products as well as certain obligations for advertising and marketing. Our license agreements generally provide us the right to approve all products, advertising and proposed channels of distribution.
We license the Tommy Bahama brand for a broad range of product categories including indoor furniture, outdoor furniture, beach chairs, bedding and bath linens, fabrics, leather goods and gifts, headwear, hosiery, sleepwear, shampoo, toiletries, fragrances, cigar accessories, distilled spirits, resort operations and other products. Third party license arrangements for Lilly Pulitzer products include stationery and gift products; home furnishing products; and eyewear.
In addition to our license arrangements for the specific product categories listed above, we may enter into certain international distributor agreements which allow third parties to distribute apparel and other products on a wholesale and/or retail basis within certain countries or regions. As of January 28, 2023, we have agreements for the distribution of Tommy Bahama products in the Middle East and parts of Latin America. The products sold by the distributors generally are identical to the products sold in our own Tommy Bahama stores. In addition to selling Tommy Bahama goods to wholesale accounts, the distributors may, in some cases, operate a limited number of their own retail stores. Additionally, we have arrangements for distribution of Johnny Was products in certain countries. None of our international distributor agreements are expected to generate growth that would materially impact our operating results in the near term.
SEASONAL ASPECTS OF BUSINESS
Each of our operating groups is impacted by seasonality as the demand by specific product or style, as well as by distribution channel, may vary significantly depending on the time of year. For details ofAs a result, our quarterly operating results and working capital requirements fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. Typically, the impact of seasonality on eachdemand for products for our larger brands is higher in the spring, summer and holiday seasons and lower in the fall season (the third quarter of our operating groups, seefiscal year). Thus, our third quarter historically has had the business discussion of each operating group above.

HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Our key strategy is to own brands that make people happy, and we recognize that successful execution of our sales are directstrategy starts with people. We believe treating people fairly and with respect is key to consumer sales, which are not reflected in an order backlog,long-term success and, more importantly, is simply the order backlog for wholesale sales may be impacted by a variety of factors, we do not believe that order backlog information is necessarily indicative of salesright thing to be expected for future periods. Therefore, we believe the order backlog is not material for an understanding of our business taken as a whole. Further, as our sales continue to shift towards direct to consumer rather than wholesale sales, the order backlog will continue to be less meaningful as a measure of our future sales and results of operations.
As of January 28, 2017,2023, we employed approximately 5,800 persons,6,000 individuals globally, more than 95% of whom approximately 85% were employed in the United States. Approximately 70% of our employees were retail store and restaurantfood and beverage employees. Our employee base fluctuates during the year, as we typically hire seasonal employees to support our retail store and food and beverage operations, primarily during the holiday selling season. None of our employees as of January 28, 2023 was represented by a union.

Commitment to Human Rights and our Code of Conduct
We are committed to respecting human rights in our business operations, including throughout our supply chain and product life cycle. As part of our supplier audit processes, we conduct human rights due diligence to identify risks and work to mitigate them, and our supplier codes of conduct set forth minimum social responsibility requirements to ensure that the human rights of all people in our value chain are respected. We do not tolerate harassment, discrimination, violence or retaliation of any kind.
Our Code of Conduct applies to all employees, officers and directors in our organization and addresses, among other topics, compliance with laws, avoiding conflicts of interest, gifts and entertainment, bribery and kickbacks, anti-discrimination and anti-harassment and reporting misconduct. Our General Counsel takes responsibility for reviewing and refreshing our Code of Conduct; educating our team members about our expectations; and, as applicable, enforcing the Code of Conduct. All employees at the time of hire are required to read and certify compliance with the Code of Conduct and are given an opportunity to ask questions.
Talent and Development
We are always looking for great people to join our team. We recognize that in order to remain competitive, we must attract, develop and retain top caliber employees in our design, marketing, merchandising, information technology and other functions, as well as in our direct to consumer locations and distribution centers. Competition for talented employees is intense.
In furtherance of attracting and retaining employees committed to our core values and business strategy, we maintain competitive compensation programs that include a variety of components, including competitive pay consistent with skill level, experience and knowledge, as well as comprehensive benefit plans consisting of health and welfare plans, retirement benefits and paid leave for our employee relationsbase in the United States.
In 2018, we launched an ongoing initiative to assess how well we are good.doing in managing performance, developing our people and putting our talent to its highest and best use across our company. Our aim is greater employee engagement and ultimately a more effective organization. As part of our commitment to our people, throughout our brands and businesses, we provide employees with training, growth and development opportunities, including on-the-job training, learning and development programs, and other educational programs. Outside of the United States, we work with outside partners familiar with the local markets and laws to ensure our rewards are competitive within that jurisdiction and support employee well-being.
Diversity & Inclusion
Our ongoing commitment to having the best people includes a commitment to equal opportunity. We believe in a diverse and inclusive workplace that respects and invites differing ideas and perspective. We have a number of
25
initiatives to ensure that our hiring, retention and advancement practices promote fair and equal opportunities across our workforce and ensure that we will have the best people in the industry to support our businesses going forward.
Our diversity and inclusion strategies begin at the recruiting stage, where we seek to attract and hire the most qualified candidates possible, without regard to race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, age, sexual orientation, genetics or other protected characteristics. We reinforce our values and goals through our Code of Conduct and other workplace policies, with an anonymous, confidential ethics hotline that allows our employees to voice concerns.

Item 1A.
Risk FactorsThe risks described below highlight some of the factors that could materially affect our operations. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, prospects and/or operating results may be adversely affected. These are not the only risks and uncertainties we face. We operate in a competitive and rapidly changing business environment, and additionalAdditional risks and uncertainties that we currently consider immaterial or are not presently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also adversely affect our business.
Risks Related to our Industry and Macroeconomic Conditions
Our business and financial condition are heavily influenced by general economic and market conditions which are outside of our control.
We are a consumer products company and are highly dependent on consumer discretionary spending and retail traffic patterns, particularly in the United States. The demand for apparel products changes as regional, domestic and international economic conditions change and may be significantly impacted by trends in consumer confidence and discretionary consumer spending patterns. These trends may be influenced by employment levels; recessions; inflation and increased interest rates; fuel and energy costs; tax rates; personal debt levels; savings rates; stock market and housing market volatility; shifting social ideology; and general uncertainty about the future. The factors impacting consumer confidence and discretionary consumer spending patterns are outside of our control and difficult to predict, and, often, the apparel industry experiences longer periods of recession and greater declines than the general economy.
In recent months, we have seen increased uncertainty about current and future economic conditions, which has led to heightened concerns about inflation, a global economic recession, geopolitical issues, the stability of the U.S. banking system, the availability and cost of credit and continued increases in interest rates. These conditions are creating a complex and challenging retail environment, which may impact consumer spending and consumer preferences. For instance, entering Fiscal 2023, these concerns have led to conservative purchase order decisions for future seasons by
26
many of our wholesale customers. A decline in consumer confidence or change in discretionary consumer spending patterns could reduce our sales, increase our inventory levels, result in more promotional activities and/or lower our gross margins, any or all of which may adversely affect our business and financial condition.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may in the future have, a material adverse effect on our business, revenues, financial condition and results of operations.
Since 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has created tremendous uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and has had an adverse impact on our business, revenues and results of operations. In Fiscal 2020, we experienced a net sales decline of 33% from Fiscal 2019 and incurred a net loss of $96 million. While our bricks and mortar operations largely resumed normal operations during most of Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2022, we did continue to experience temporary closures of our physical locations due to one or more employees testing positive for COVID-19, and our operations were impacted by various health and safety guidelines and restrictions imposed by state and local governments. There can be no assurance that distribution centers, restaurants and/or retail stores will not close in the future, including for extended periods, upon additional COVID-19 outbreaks, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, revenues, financial condition and results of operations.
We also rely on suppliers outside of the United States to manufacture our products. As a result of COVID-19 and the measures designed to contain the spread of the virus, our third party suppliers, who are concentrated in Asia, have been, and may in the future be, impacted by materials, capacity, capability or labor constraints. The failure to timely deliver products to us in accordance with our specifications negatively impacts our inventory levels and our ability to have fresh, in-season product available for sale, which may adversely impact our revenues. In addition, we engage freight forwarders, logistics providers and third party shipping vendors to deliver products to us, our retail locations and/or our customers. Service delays or disruptions, restrictions on services available to us or price increases imposed by these vendors due to increased demand or operational challenges has and may continue to exacerbate these challenges, which could also result in lost sales, returns, requests for refunds or cancellation of orders, any or all of which could harm our reputation and relationships with our customers.
The rapid development and fluidity of the pandemic prevents us from making any prediction as to its ultimate impact. The full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our future revenues, operations, financial condition and results of operations continues to remain uncertain. Furthermore, other public health crises, including any outbreak of other diseases or pandemics, could negatively impact our business and results of operations.
We operate in a highly competitive industry which is evolving very rapidly; our ability to execute and/or transform our direct to consumerwith significant pricing pressures and portfolio-level strategies in light of shifts in consumer shopping behavior subjects us to risks that could adversely affect our financial results and operations.
We operate in a highly competitive industry in which the principal competitive factors are the reputation, value and image of brand names; design;design of differentiated, innovative or otherwise compelling product; consumer preference; price; quality; marketing;marketing (including through rapidly shifting digital and social media vehicles); product fulfillment capabilities; and customer service. The highly competitive apparel industry is characterized by low barriers to entry, with new competition entering the marketplace regularly. There are numerous domestic and foreign apparel designers, distributors, importers, licensors and retailers. Some of these companies may be significantly larger or more diversified than us and/or have significantly greater financial resources than we do.
Competition in the apparel industry is particularly enhanced in the digital marketplace for our rapidly growing e-commerce businesses, where there are new entrants in the market, greater pricing pressure and heightened customer expectations and competitive pressure related to, among other things, customer engagement, delivery speed, shipping charges and return privileges. In addition, fast fashion, value fashion and off-price retailers have shifted customer expectations of pricing for well-known brands and have contributed to additional promotional pressure in recent years.
These and other competitive factors within the apparel industry may result in reduced sales, increased costs, lower prices for our products and/or decreased margins.
27
Failure to anticipate and adapt to changing fashion trends and consumer preferences could harm our reputation and financial performance.
We believe that our ability to compete successfully is directly related to our proficiency in foreseeing changes and trends in fashion and consumer preference including the manner in which retail consumers seek to transact business and access products, and presenting appealing products for consumers when and where they seek it.
Our operations and those of our suppliers, vendors and wholesale customers may be affected by changes in weather patterns, natural or man-made disasters, public health crises, war, terrorism or other catastrophes.
Our sales volume and operations and the operations of third parties on whom we rely, including our suppliers, vendors, licensees and wholesale customers, may be adversely affected by unseasonable or severe weather conditions, natural or man-made disasters, hurricanes, public health crises, war, terrorist attacks, including heightened security measures and responsive military actions, or other catastrophes which may cause consumers to alter their purchasing habits or result in a disruption to our operations. Our business may also be adversely affected by instability, disruption or destruction, regardless of cause. These events may result in reduced sales, increased costs, lower prices for our products and/or decreased margins.
The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine has adversely affected the global economy, resulted in heightened economic sanctions against Russia from the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and the international community, and has resulted in geopolitical instability and market disruption. Although we do not have operations or generate revenues in the impacted regions, the geopolitical tensions related to the war could result in broader impacts that expand into other markets, cyberattacks, supply chain and logistics disruptions and lower consumer demand, any failureof which could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.
Risks Related to our Business Strategy and Operations
Failure to maintain the reputation or value of our brands and/or to offer innovative, fashionable and desirable products could adversely affectharm our business operations and financial condition.
Our success depends on the reputation and value of our brand names. The value of our brands could be diminished by actions taken by us or by our licensees, wholesale customers or others who have an interest in theour brands. Actions that could cause harm to our brands include failing to respond to emerging fashion trends or meet consumer quality expectations; selling products bearing our brands through distribution channels that are inconsistent with the retail channels in which our customers expect to find those brands;customer expectations; becoming overly promotional; or setting up consumer expectations for promotional activity for our products. We are becoming more reliant onIn addition, social media as one of ouris a critical marketing strategiesand customer acquisition and customer retention strategy in today’s technology-driven retail environment, and the value of our brands could be adversely affected if we do not effectively and accurately communicate our brand message through social media vehicles, including with respect to our social responsibility and environmental sustainability initiatives. The concentration in our portfolio heightens the risks we face if one of our larger brands is adversely impacted by actions we or third parties take with respect to that interfacebrand.
The improper or detrimental actions of a licensee or wholesale customer, including a third party distributor in an international market, or for example, the operator of the planned Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa targeted
28
to open in late Fiscal 2023, which is an unproven concept with previously untested brand and operating standards, could also significantly impact the perception of our consumers in “real-time.”brands. While we enter into comprehensive license and similar collaborative agreements with third party licensees covering product design, product quality, brand standards, sourcing, social compliance, distribution, operations, manufacturing and/or marketing requirements and approvals, there can be no guarantee our brands will not be negatively impacted through our association with products or concepts outside of our core apparel products and by the market perception of the third parties with whom we associate. In addition, we cannot always control the marketing and promotion of our products by our wholesale customers, or other third parties, and actions by such parties that are inconsistent with our own marketing efforts or that otherwise adversely affect the appeal of our products could diminish the value or reputation of one or more of our brands and have an adverse effect on our sales, gross margins and business operations.
The appeal of our brands may also depend on the perceived relevance and Lilly Pulitzer’ssuccess of our environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) initiatives and our commitments to operating our business in a socially responsible fashion. ESG risks include increased stakeholder focus on social and environmental sustainability matters, including forced labor, chemical use, energy and water use, packaging and waste, animal welfare and land use. ESG risks may also include increased pressure to expand our disclosures in these areas, make commitments, set targets or establish additional goals and take actions to meet them, which could expose us to market, operational and execution costs or risks. The metrics we disclose may not meet stakeholder expectations and may impact our reputation and the value of our brands, and a failure to achieve progress on our metrics on a timely basis, or at all, could adversely affect our business and financial performance.
Our inability to execute our direct to consumer and portfolio-level strategies in response to shifts in consumer shopping behavior could adversely affect our financial results and operations.
One of our key long-term initiatives over the last several years has been to grow our branded businesses through distribution strategies that allow our consumers to access our brands whenever and wherever they choose to shop. Our ability to anticipate and transform our business in response to the manner in which consumers seek to transact business and access products requires us to introduce new retail, restaurant and other concepts in suitable locations; anticipate and implement innovations in sales and marketing technology to align with our consumers’ shopping preferences; invest in appropriate digital and other technologies; establish the infrastructure necessary to support growth; maintain brand specific websites and mobile applications that offer the functionality and security customers expect; and effectively enhance our advertising and marketing activities, including our social media presence, to maintain our current customers and attract and introduce new consumers to our brands and offerings.
For the last several years, the retail apparel market has been evolving very rapidly in ways that are disruptive to traditional fashion retailers. These changes included sustained declines in bricks and mortar retail traffic; entry into the fashion retail space by large e-commerce retailers and others with significant financial resources and enhanced distribution capabilities; increased costs to attract and retain consumers; increased investment in technology and multi-channel distribution strategies by large, traditional bricks and mortar and big box retailers; ongoing emphasis on off-price and fast fashion channels of distribution, in particular those who offer brand label products at clearance; and increased appeal for consumers of products that incorporate sustainable materials and processes in the supply chain and/or otherwise reflect their social or personal values. In response, fashion retailers and competing brands have increasingly offered greater transparency for consumers in product pricing and engaged in increased promotional activities, both online and in-store. These trends accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic and are likely to continue to evolve in ways that may not yet be evident.
In response to these evolving and rapidly changing trends in consumer shopping behavior, we have made and expect to continue to make significant investments in expanding our digital capabilities and technologies in three key areas: mobile technology; digital marketing; and the digital customer experience. Although we have experienced significant growth in our e-commerce businesses in recent years, there is no assurance that we will realize a return on these investments, be successful in continuing to grow our e-commerce businesses over the long term or that any increase we may see in net sales represented 64%from our e-commerce business will not cannibalize, or be sufficient to offset any decreases in, net sales from bricks and 23%, respectively,mortar retail stores.
29
Any inability on our part to effectively adapt to rapidly evolving consumer behavioral trends may result in lost sales, increase our costs and/or adversely impact our results of operations, financial condition, reputation and credibility.
We may be unable to grow our business through organic growth, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
A key component of our consolidated net sales. The significant concentrationbusiness strategy is organic growth in our portfoliobrands. Organic growth may heightenbe achieved by, among other things, increasing sales in our direct to consumer channels; selling our products in new markets; increasing our market share in existing markets; expanding the risks we face if onedemographic appeal of theseour brands; expanding our margins through product cost reductions, price increases or otherwise; expanding the customer reach of our brands failsthrough new and enhanced advertising initiatives; and increasing the product offerings and concepts within our various operating groups, such as the opening of additional Marlin Bars at Tommy Bahama and owned retail stores at Southern Tide and TBBC. Successful growth of our business is also subject to meet our expectationsability to implement plans for expanding and/or maintaining our existing businesses at satisfactory levels. We may not be successful in achieving suitable organic growth, and our inability to grow our business may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
In addition, investments we make in technology, advertising and infrastructure, retail stores and restaurants, office and distribution center facilities, personnel and elsewhere may not yield the full benefits we anticipate, and sales growth may be outpaced by increases in operating costs, putting downward pressure on our operating margins and adversely affecting our results of operations. If we are unable to increase our revenues organically, we may be required to pursue other strategic initiatives, including reductions in costs and/or acquisitions, in order to grow our business. These initiatives may not be available to us on desirable terms, inhibiting our ability to increase profitability.
The acquisition of new businesses is adversely impactedinherently risky, and we cannot be certain that we will realize the anticipated benefits of any acquisition.
Growth of our business through acquisitions of lifestyle brands that fit within our business model is a key component of our long-term business strategy, as evidenced by actions we or third parties takeour acquisition of Johnny Was in September 2022. Johnny Was is an affordable luxury, artisan-inspired bohemian apparel, accessories and home goods brand that is exposed to similar industry, macroeconomic, operational, cybersecurity and information technology, sourcing, regulatory and other general risks as our other businesses.
Integrating an acquired business is a complex, time-consuming and expensive process and is even more challenging for a larger, rapidly growing business such as Johnny Was. The integration process could create a number of challenges and adverse consequences for us associated with respect to that brand or by competitive conditionsthe integration of product lines, support functions, employees, sales teams and outsourced manufacturers; employee turnover, including key management and creative personnel of the acquired business and our existing businesses; disruption in product cycles for newly acquired product lines; maintenance of acceptable standards, controls, procedures and policies; operating a business in new geographic territories; diversion of the attention of our management from other areas of our business; and the impairment of relationships with customers of the acquired and existing businesses. We are still relatively early in the apparel industry.
In addition, the competitive climate for desirable acquisition candidates drives higher market multiples, and we may pay more to consummate an acquisition than the value we ultimately derive from the acquired business. Acquisitions may cause us to incur debt, as we did in connection with the Johnny Was acquisition, or make dilutive issuances of our equity securities, and may result in certain impairment or amortization charges in our statements of operations. In addition, we may not complete a potential acquisition for a variety of reasons but still incur material, unrecoverable costs in the preliminary stages of evaluating and pursuing an acquisition. Additionally, as a result of acquisitions, we may become responsible for unexpected liabilities that we failed or were unable to discover in the course of performing due diligence.
30
As the fashion retail environment evolves, our investment criteria for acquisitions has grown to include smaller brands and non-controlling investments in burgeoning brands seeking debt or equity financing. The limited operating history, less experienced management teams and less sophisticated systems, infrastructure and relationships generally associated with such brands may heighten the risks associated with acquisitions generally. Minority investments present additional risks, including the potential disproportionate distraction to our management team relative to the potential financial benefit; the potential for a conflict of interest; the damage to our reputation of associating with a brand which may take actions inconsistent with our values; and the financial risks associated with making an investment in an unproven business model.
The divestiture or discontinuation of businesses and product lines could result in unexpected liabilities and adversely affect our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
From time to time, we may also divest or discontinue businesses, product lines and/or wholesale relationships that do not align with our strategy or provide the returns that we expect or desire, such as our Fiscal 2021 exit of the Lanier Apparel business. Such dispositions and/or discontinuations may result in underutilization of our retained resources if the exited operations are not replaced with new lines of business, either internally or through acquisition. In addition, we may become responsible for unexpected liabilities, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Our business could be harmed if we fail to maintain proper inventory levels.
Many factors, such as economic conditions, fashion trends, consumer preferences, the financial condition of our wholesale customers and weather, make it difficult to accurately forecast demand for our products. In order to meet the expected demand for our products in a cost-effective manner, we make commitments for production several months prior to our receipt of goods and almost entirely without firm commitments from our customers. Depending on the demand for our products, will not declinewe may be unable to sell the products we have ordered or that we will be able to successfully evaluatehave in our inventory, which may result in inventory markdowns or the sale of excess inventory at discounted prices and adaptthrough off-price channels. These events could significantly harm our operating results and impair the image of our brands. Conversely, if we underestimate the timing or extent of demand for our products or if we are unable to alignaccess our products when we need them, for example due to a third party manufacturer’s inability to source materials or produce goods in a timely fashion or as a result of delays in the delivery of products to us, issues which have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, we may experience inventory shortages, which might result in lost sales, unfilled orders, negatively impacted customer relationships, and diminished brand loyalty, any of which could harm our business. These risks relating to inventory may also escalate as our direct to consumer sales, for which we do not have any advance purchase commitments, continue to increase as a proportion of our consolidated net sales.
We are subject to risks associated with leasing real estate for our retail stores and restaurants.
We lease all of our retail store and restaurant locations. Successful operation of our retail stores and restaurants depends, in part, on our ability to identify desirable, brand appropriate locations; the overall ability of the location to attract a consumer base sufficient to make sales volume profitable; our ability to negotiate satisfactory lease terms and employ qualified personnel; and our ability to timely construct and complete any build out and open the location in accordance with our plans, which could be delayed due to supply chain constraints, delays in permitting and government approval processes and/or labor or materials shortages. A decline in the volume of consumer traffic at our retail stores and restaurants, due to economic conditions, shifts in consumer shopping preferences or technology, a decline in the popularity of malls or lifestyle centers in general or at those in which we operate, the closing of anchor stores or other adjacent tenants or otherwise, could have a negative impact on our sales, gross margins and results of operations. Our growth may be limited if we are unable to identify new locations with consumer preferencestraffic sufficient to support a profitable sales level or the local market reception to a new retail store opening is inconsistent with our expectations.
Our retail store and changesrestaurant leases generally represent long-term financial commitments, with substantial costs at lease inception for a location’s design, leasehold improvements, fixtures and systems installation and recurring fixed costs. On an ongoing basis, we review the financial performance of our retail and restaurant locations in consumer demographics. Any failure on our partorder to develop and market appealing productsdetermine whether continued operation is appropriate. Even if we determine that it is desirable to exit a particular
31
location, we may be unable to close an underperforming location due to continuous use clauses and/or because negotiating an early termination would be cost prohibitive. In addition, due to the fixed-cost structure associated with these operations, negative cash flows or the closure of a retail store or restaurant could result in weakened financial performanceimpairment of leasehold improvements, impairment of operating lease assets and/or harmother long-lived assets, severance costs, lease termination costs or the reputation and desirabilityloss of our brands and products.
Furthermore, a deterioration in the financial condition of shopping center operators or developers could, for third parties with whom weexample, limit their ability to invest in improvements and finance tenant improvements for us and other retailers and lead consumers to view these locations as less desirable. In addition, if our e-commerce businesses continue to grow, they may do business.
We make use of debt to predict, and, often, the apparel industry experiences longer periods of recession and greater declines than the general economy. Any deterioration or worsening of consumer confidence or discretionary consumer spendingfinance our operations, which could reduce our sales and/orexpose us to risks that adversely affect our business, financial position and financial condition.
Our levels of debt vary as a result of the seasonality of our business, investments in our operations, acquisitions we undertake and working capital needs. As of January 28, 2023, we had $119 million of borrowings under our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement, which was primarily driven by our acquisition of Johnny Was.
In the future, our debt levels may increase under our existing facility or potentially under new facilities, or the terms or forms of our financing arrangements may change. Our indebtedness under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement includes certain obligations and limitations, including the periodic payment of principal, interest and unused line fees, maintenance of certain covenants and certain other limitations. The negative covenants in the operationsU.S. Revolving Credit Agreement limits our ability to, among other things, incur debt, guaranty certain obligations, incur liens, pay dividends, repurchase common stock, make investments, sell assets or liquiditymake acquisitions. These obligations and limitations may increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions, place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to any competitors that may be less leveraged and limit our flexibility in carrying out our business plans and planning for, or reacting to, change.
In addition, we are subject to interest rate risk on the indebtedness under our variable rate U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement, particularly in the current macroeconomic environment. An increase in the interest rate environment, such as the recent increases in interest rates implemented by the Federal Reserve, would require us to pay a greater amount towards interest on our borrowings.
The continued growth of our business depends on our access to sufficient funds. If the need arises in the future to finance expenditures in excess of those supported by our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement, we may need to seek additional funding through debt or equity financing. Our ability to obtain that financing will depend on many factors, including prevailing market conditions, our financial condition and our ability to negotiate favorable terms and conditions. The terms of any ofsuch financing or our inability to secure such financing could adversely affect our ability to execute our strategies, and the parties with which we conductnegative covenants in our business, including suppliers, customers, trademark licensees and lenders, among others,debt agreements, now or in the future, may increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions and/or limit our flexibility in the access to capital markets for any such parties, could result in lower demand forcarrying out our products, lower sales, higher costs or other disruptions in our business.
The loss of one or more of our key wholesale customers, or a significant adverse change in a customer’s financial performance or financial position, could negatively impact our net sales and profitability.
We generate a significantmaterial percentage of our wholesale sales, which was 20% of our net sales in Fiscal 2022, from a few key customers. For example, during Fiscal 2016, 46% ofAlthough our consolidated wholesale sales, or 16%largest customer only represented 4% of our consolidated net sales werein Fiscal 2022, the failure to increase or maintain our five largest customers.sales with our key customers as much as we anticipate would have a negative
32
impact on our growth prospects and any decrease or loss of these customers’ business could result in a decrease in our net sales and operating income if we are unable to capture these sales through our direct to consumer operations or other wholesale accounts. Over the last several years, there have been significant levels of store closures by department stores and other large retailers particularly as the retail industry has transitioned more towards online and mobile transactions; increased prevalence and emphasis on private label products at large retailers; direct sourcing of products by large retailers; consolidation of a number of retailers; andhave faced increased competition experienced by our wholesale customers from online competitors. A decreasecompetitors, declining sales and profitability and tightened credit markets, resulting in the number of stores that carry our products, restructuringstore closures, bankruptcies and financial restructurings. Restructuring of our customers’ operations, continued store closures by major department stores,or increased direct sourcing and greater leverage by customers realignment of customer affiliations or other factors could negatively impact our net sales and profitability.
We also extend credit to most of our key wholesale customers without requiring collateral, which results in a large amount of receivables from just a few customers. At January 28, 2017, our five largest outstanding customer balances represented $29 million, or 50% of our consolidated receivables balance. Companies in the apparel industry, including some of our customers, may experience financial difficulties, including bankruptcies, restructurings and reorganizations, tightened credit markets and/or declining sales and profitability. A significant adverse change in a customer’s financial position or ability to satisfy its obligations to us could cause us to limit or discontinue business with that customer, in some cases after we have already made product purchase commitments for inventory; require us to assume greater credit risk relating to that customer’s receivablesreceivables; or limit our ability to collect amounts related to shipments to that customer. In addition, a decision by one or more of our key wholesale customers to terminate its relationship with us or to reduce its purchases, whether motivated by competitive considerations, a change in desired product assortment, quality or style issues, financial difficulties, economic conditions or otherwise, could also adversely affect our business.
Risks Related to Cybersecurity and Information Technology
Cybersecurity attacks and/or breaches of information security or privacy could disrupt our operations, cause us to incur additional expenses, expose us to litigation and/or cause us financial harm.
Cybersecurity attacks continue to become increasingly sophisticated, and experienced computer programmers and hackers may be able to penetrate our network security and misappropriate or compromise our assets, including confidential information, or disrupt our systems. We collect, use, store and transmit sensitive and confidential personal information of our customers, employees, suppliers and others as an ongoing part of our business operations, and we are regularly subject to attempts by attackers to gain unauthorized access to our networks, systems and data, or to obtain, change or destroy confidential information. In addition, customers may use devices or software that are beyond our control environment to purchase our products, which may provide additional avenues for attackers to gain access to confidential information.
Despite our implementation of security measures, if an actual or perceived data security breach occurs, whether as a result of cybersecurity attacks, computer viruses, vandalism, ransomware, human error or otherwise, or if there are perceived vulnerabilities in our systems, the image of our brands and our reputation and credibility could be damaged, and, in some cases, our continued operations may be impaired or restricted. Ongoing and increasing costs to enhance cybersecurity protection and prevent, eliminate or mitigate vulnerabilities and comply with required security or other measures under state, federal and international laws, which may include deploying additional personnel and protection technologies, training employees and engaging third party experts and consultants, are significant. Although we have business continuity plans and other safeguards in place, our operations may be adversely affected by an actual or perceived data security breach. Costs to resolve any litigation or to investigate and remediate any actual or perceived breach could result in significant financial losses and expenses, as well as lost sales. While we continue to evolve and modify our business continuity plans, there can be no assurance in an escalating threat environment that they will be effective in avoiding disruption and business impacts.
As part of our routine operations, we also contract with third party service providers to store, process and transmit personal information of our customers and employees. Although we may contractually require that these providers implement reasonable security measures, we cannot control third parties and cannot guarantee that a security breach will not occur at their location or within their systems. Privacy breaches of confidential information stored or used by our third party service providers or disruptions in their systems may expose us to the same risks as a breach of our own systems, including negative publicity, potential out-of-pocket costs and adverse effects on our business and customer relationships.
Our operations are reliant on information technology, and any interruption or other failure could have an adverse effect on our business or results of operations.
33
The efficient operation of our business depends on information technology. This requires us to devote significant financial and employee resources to information technology initiatives and operations. Information systems are used in all stages of our operations and as a method of communication, both internally and with our customers, service providers and suppliers. Many of our information technology solutions are operated and/or maintained by third parties, including our use of cloud-based solutions. Additionally, each of our operating groups uses e-commerce websites, point-of-sale systems, enterprise order management systems, warehouse management systems and wholesale ordering systems to acquire, manage, sell and distribute goods. Our management also relies on information systems to provide relevant and accurate information in order to allocate resources, manage operations and forecast, account for and report our operating results. Service interruptions may occur as a result of a number of factors, including power outages, consumer traffic levels, computer viruses, sabotage, hacking or other unlawful activities by third parties, human error, disasters or failures to properly install, upgrade, integrate, protect, repair or maintain our various systems, networks and e-commerce websites. All of these events could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In light of the current geopolitical environment, there are heightened risks that our information technology systems, as well as those of third parties on whom we rely in order to conduct our operations, could be compromised by threat actors.
Reliance on outdated technology or failure to upgrade our information technology systems and capabilities could impair the efficient operation of our business and our ability to compete.
Any failure to timely upgrade our technology systems and capabilities may impair our ability to market, sell and deliver products to our customers, efficiently conduct our operations, facilitate customer engagement in today’s digital marketplace and/or meet the needs of our management. We relyregularly evaluate upgrades or enhancements to our information systems to more efficiently and competitively operate our businesses, including periodic upgrades to digital commerce and marketing, warehouse management, guest relations, omnichannel and/or enterprise order management systems in our businesses. Digital commerce and marketing have continued to increase in importance to our business, and we have invested and will continue to invest significant capital in the digital strategies, systems, expertise and capabilities necessary for us to compete effectively in this arena. Upgrades to our systems may be expensive undertakings, may not be successful and/or could be abandoned, as we did in the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2020 with a large extentTommy Bahama information technology project. We may also experience difficulties during the implementation, upgrade or subsequent operation of our systems, including the risk of introducing cybersecurity vulnerabilities into our systems or the loss of certain functionality, information from our legacy systems and/or efficient interfaces with third party and continuing systems. Temporary processes or solutions, including manual operations, which may be required to be instituted in the short term could also significantly increase the risk of loss or corruption of data and information. Additionally, if such upgraded information technology systems fail to operate or are unable to support our growth, our store operations and websites could be severely disrupted, and we could be required to make significant additional expenditures to remedy any such failure.
Remote work arrangements could inhibit our ability to effectively operate our business and result in enhanced cybersecurity risks.
We anticipate continuing to implement remote work arrangements for a substantial portion of our employees in the future. If remote work arrangements negatively impact the performance or management of our employees, whether as a result of technological challenges, unsuitable work environments or other limitations, our ability to carry out key functions and successfully manage our operations could be compromised. In addition, remote work arrangements could exacerbate our existing cybersecurity and privacy risks, including by introducing vulnerabilities in our systems due to the use of laptops, mobile devices and remote work environments. Cybersecurity attacks or data security incidents resulting from a failure to manage these risks could negatively impact our business and results of operations.
Risks Related to our Sourcing and Distribution Strategies
Our reliance on third party producers in foreign countries to meet our production demands and failures by these producersexposes us to meet our requirements, the unavailability of suitable producers at reasonable prices and/or changes in international trade regulation may negatively impact our ability to deliver quality products to our customers on a timely basis,risks that could disrupt our supply chain, or result in higherincrease our costs or reduced net sales.and negatively impact our operations.

We source substantially all of our products from non-exclusive, third party producers located in foreign countries, including sourcing approximately 58% and 16% of our product purchases from China and Vietnam, respectively, during Fiscal 2016.countries. Although we place a high value on long-term relationships with our suppliers, generally we do not have long-term supply contracts but instead conduct business on an order-by-order basis. Therefore, we compete with other companies for the production capacity of independent manufacturers. We also depend on the ability of these third party producers to secure a sufficient supply of raw materials, adequately finance the production of goods ordered and maintain sufficient manufacturing and shipping capacity, and in some cases, the products we purchase and the raw materials that are used in our products are available only from one source or a limited number of sources. Although we monitor production in third party manufacturing
Our operations are dependent on the global supply chain, and the impact of supply chain constraints may adversely impact our business and operating results.
Our operations in recent years have been, and may continue to our sourcing activities, we are exposed to risks associated with changesbe, impacted by supply chain constraints, labor shortages and raw material shortages, resulting in increased costs for raw materials, longer lead times, port congestion and increased freight costs caused, in part, by the lawsCOVID-19 pandemic, increased consumer demand, the uncertain economic environment, and regulations governing the importing and exporting of apparel products into and from the countries in which we operate. These risks include changes in social, political, labor and economic conditions or terrorist acts that could result in the disruption of trade from the countries in which our manufacturers are located; the imposition of additional or new duties, tariffs, taxes, quota restrictions or other changes and shifts in sourcing patterns asmacroeconomic trends. As a result of such changes; significant delaysthese factors within the global supply chain, our gross margins were negatively impacted during Fiscal 2021 and, to a lesser extent in the delivery ofFiscal 2022. We also rely on logistics providers to transport our products due to securityour distribution centers. Delays in shipping may cause us to have to use more expensive air freight or other considerations; fluctuations in sourcing costs; the imposition of antidumping or countervailing duties; fluctuations in the value of the dollar against foreign currencies; changes in customs procedures for importing apparel products;more costly methods to ship our products. Failure to adequately produce and restrictions on the transfer of fundstimely ship our products to or from foreign countries. We may not be ablecustomers could lead to offset anyincreased costs and lost sales, negatively impact our relationships with customers, and adversely impact our brand reputation.
Any disruption or cost increases to our supply chain as a result of any of these factors by shifting production to suitable manufacturers in other jurisdictions in a timely manner or at acceptable prices, and future regulatory actions or changes in international trade regulation may provide our competitors with a material advantage over us.
We rely on our senior management and other key personnel, and the unsuccessful transition of key management responsibilities, the unexpected loss of individuals integral to our business, our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel in the future or our failure to successfully plan for and implement succession of our senior
If any of our primary distribution facilities were to shut down or otherwise become inoperable or inaccessible for any reason, including as a result of natural or man-made disasters, pandemics or epidemics, human error, or cybersecurity attacks or computer viruses, or otherwise, if our distribution facilities fail to upgrade their technological systems to ensure efficient operations or if we are unable to receive goods in a distribution center or to ship the goods in a distribution center, as a result of a technology failure, labor shortages or otherwise, we could experience a reduction in sales, a substantial loss of inventory, ora reduction in sales, higher costs, insufficient inventory at our retail stores to meet consumer expectations and longer lead times associated with the distribution of our products. In addition, for the distribution facilities that we operate, there are substantial fixed costs associated with these large, highly automated distribution centers, and we could experience reduced operating and cost efficiencies during periods of economic weakness. Any disruption to our distribution facilities or in their efficient operation could negatively affect our operating results and our customer relationships.
Fluctuations and volatility in the cost and availability of raw materials, labor and freight may materially increase our costs.
We and our third party suppliers rely on the availability of raw materials at reasonable prices. The principal fabrics used in our business are cotton, linens, wools, silk, linen, leather, tencel, and other natural and man-made fibers, synthetics andor blends of
35
two or more of these materials. The prices paid for these fabrics depend on the market price for raw materials used to produce them. In addition, theThe cost of the materials and components that are used in our manufacturing process, such as oil-related commodity prices and other raw materials, such as dyes and chemicals, and other costs, can fluctuate. In recent years, we have seen increases in the costs of certain raw materials as a result of weather-related supply disruptions, significant declines in U.S. inventory and a sharp rise in the futures market for cotton. We historically have not entered into any futures contracts to hedge commodity prices.
Employment costs represented more than 40% of our consolidated SG&A in Fiscal 2022, and we have also seen increases in the cost of labor in our retail, restaurant and distribution center operations as well as at many of our suppliers particularly within recent years, which intensified during the growth of the middle class in certain countries, as well as in freight costs. In China, for example, apparel manufacturers have experienced increased costs due to labor shortages and other factors, and these increased costs are often passed on to us. Although we attempt to mitigate the effect of increases in our cost of goods sold through sourcing initiatives and by selectively increasing the prices of our products, these product costing pressures, as well as other variable cost pressures, may materially increase our costs, and we may be unable to fully pass on these costs to our customers.
Labor-related matters, including labor disputes, may adversely affect our operations.
We may be adversely affected as a result of labor disputes in our own operations or in those of third parties with whom we work. Our business depends on our ability to source and distribute products in a timely manner, and our new retail store and restaurant growth is dependent on timely construction of our locations. While we are not subject to any organized labor agreements and have historically enjoyed good employee relations, there can be no assurance that we will not experience work stoppages or other labor problems in the future with our non-unionized employees. In addition, potential labor disputes at independent factories where our goods are produced, shipping ports or transportation carriers create risks for our business, particularly if a dispute results in work slowdowns, lockouts, strikes or other disruptions during our peak manufacturing, shipping and selling seasons. For example, a severe and prolonged disruption to ocean freight transportation, such as the disruption to West Coast port operations in 2014 and 2015 due to a port workers’ union dispute, delayed our receipt of product. Further, we plan our inventory purchases and forecasts based on the anticipated timing of retail store and restaurant openings, which could be delayed as a result of a number of factors, including labor disputes among contractors engaged to construct our locations or within government licensing or permitting offices.offices or the unavailability of qualified contractors due to labor shortages. Any potential labor dispute, either in our own operations or in those of third parties on whom we rely, could materially affect our costs, decrease our sales, harm our reputation or otherwise negatively affect our operations.
Our geographic concentration of retail stores, restaurants and wholesale customers exposes us to certain regional risks.
Our operations and retail and restaurant locations are heavily concentrated in the United States and certain geographic areas within the United States, including Florida, California, Texas and Hawaii for our Tommy Bahama operations; Florida for our Lilly Pulitzer operations; California for our Johnny Was operations; and Florida for our Emerging Brands operations. Additionally, the wholesale sales for our businesses are also geographically concentrated, including in geographic areas where we have concentrations of our own retail store locations. Due to these concentrations, as well as our brands’ association with the resort lifestyle and destinations, we have heightened exposure to factors that impact these regions, including general economic conditions, weather patterns, natural disasters, public health crises, changing demographics and other factors.
Our international operations, including foreign sourcing, result in an exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
We are exposed to certain currency exchange risks in conducting business outside of the United States. The substantial majoritySubstantially all of our orders for the production of apparel inproduct purchases are from foreign countries isvendors and are denominated in U.S. dollars. If the value of the U.S. dollar decreases relative to certain foreign currencies in the future, then the prices that we negotiate for products could increase and it is possible that we would notmay be ableunable to pass this increase on to customers, which would negatively impact our margins.
36
However, if the value of the U.S. dollar increases between the time a price is set and payment for a product, the price we pay may be higher than that paid for comparable goods by competitors that pay for goods in local currencies, and these competitors may be able to sell their products at more competitive prices. An increase in the value of the U.S. dollar compared to other currencies in which we have sales could also result in lower levels of sales and earnings reported in our consolidated statements of operations and lower gross margins. Additionally, currency fluctuations could also disrupt the business of our independent manufacturers by making their purchases of raw materials more expensive and difficult to finance.
Risks Related to Regulatory, Tax and Financial Reporting Matters
Our business is subject to various federal, foreign, state and local laws and regulations, and the costs of compliance with, or the violation of, such laws and regulations could have an adverse effect on our costs or operations.
We received U.S. dollars for 96% of ourare subject to stringent standards, laws and other regulations, including those relating to labor, employment, privacy and data security, consumer protection, marketing, health, product sales during Fiscal 2016, with the remaining sales primarily related to our retail operations in Canada, Australiaperformance, content and Japan. An increasesafety, anti-bribery, taxation, customs, logistics and other operational matters. These laws and regulations, in the value ofUnited States and abroad, are complex and often vary widely by jurisdiction, making it difficult for us to ensure that we are currently or will in the U.S. dollar compared to other currenciesfuture be compliant with all applicable laws and regulations in all the states and countries in which we have sales could result in lower levels of sales and earnings in our consolidated statements of operations, although the sales in foreign currencies could be equal to or greater than amounts in prior periods.operate. In addition to the extentlocal laws of the foreign countries in which we operate, we are subject to certain anti-corruption laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. If any of our international operations, or our employees or agents, violates such laws, we could become subject to sanctions or other penalties that could negatively affect our reputation, business and operating results.
We may be required to make significant expenditures and devote significant time and management resources to comply with existing or future laws or regulations, and a stronger U.S. dollar increasesviolation of applicable laws and regulations by us, or any of our suppliers or licensees, may restrict our ability to import products, require a recall of our products, lead to fines or otherwise increase our costs, negatively impact our ability to attract and retain employees or materially limit our ability to operate our business. In addition, regardless of whether any allegations of violations of the laws and regulations governing our business are valid or whether we ultimately become liable, we may be materially affected by negative publicity as a result of such allegations.
In addition, the regulatory environment governing our use of individually identifiable data is complex, and compliance with new and modified state, federal and international privacy and security laws may require us to modify our operations and/or incur costs to make necessary systems changes and implement new administrative processes. In addition, because we process and transmit payment card information, we are subject to the payment card industry data security standard and card brand operating rules, which provide for a comprehensive set of rules relating to the retention and/or transmission of payment card information. If we do not comply with the applicable standards, we may be subject to fines or restrictions on our ability to accept payment cards, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Changes in international trade regulation could increase our costs and/or disrupt our supply chain.
Due to our international sourcing activities, we are exposed to risks associated with changes in the laws and regulations governing the importing and exporting of apparel products into and from the countries in which we operate. These risks include imposition of additional or new antidumping, countervailing or other duties, tariffs, taxes or quota restrictions; government-imposed restrictions as a result of public health issues; changes in customs procedures for importing apparel products; restrictions on the transfer of funds to or from foreign countries; and the issuance of sanctions and trade orders. Any of these factors may disrupt our supply chain, and we may be unable to offset any associated cost increases by shifting production to suitable manufacturers in other jurisdictions in a timely manner or at acceptable prices, and future regulatory actions or changes in international trade regulation may provide our competitors with a material advantage over us or render our products less desirable in the marketplace.
37
There has been heightened trade tension between the United States and China, from which we sourced 36% of our products in Fiscal 2022 and from which Johnny Was has sourced more than 90% of its products in recent years, with multiple rounds of increased U.S. tariffs on China-imported goods implemented in 2018 and 2019. It is unclear what, if any, additional actions might be considered or implemented, particularly in the current geopolitical environment. Significant tariffs or other restrictions placed on Chinese imports and any related countermeasures that are soldtaken by China could have an adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Any violation or perceived violation of our codes of conduct or environmental and social compliance programs, including by our manufacturers or vendors, could have a material adverse effect on our brands.
We have a robust legal, social and environmental compliance program, including codes of conduct and vendor compliance standards. The reputation of our brands could be harmed if we or our third-party manufacturers and vendors, substantially all of which are located outside the United States, fail to meet appropriate product safety, product quality and social and environmental compliance standards. Despite our efforts, we cannot ensure that our manufacturers and vendors will at all times conduct their operations in another currency butaccordance with ethical practices or that the additional cost cannotproducts we purchase will always meet our safety and quality control standards, and any failure to do so could disrupt our supply chain and adversely affect our business operations.
The presence or perception of forced labor in our supply chain in spite of our efforts to ensure that our third party manufacturers and vendors meet human rights and labor standards could result in adverse impacts on our business, including the detention of goods at U.S. ports of entry, challenges in identifying replacement vendors and harm to our reputation. While we have diversified the jurisdictions from which we source products and product inputs, our manufacturing operations remain concentrated in China, cotton is among the principal raw materials used in many of our goods and even the cotton used in our products manufactured outside of China largely originates from Chinese fabric mills. Starting in Fiscal 2020, the U.S. Government issued withhold release orders in response to concerns regarding forced labor in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (the “XUAR”) of China. The XUAR is a globally significant source of cotton production, much of which is controlled by the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corporation (“XPCC”) and its affiliates. The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (“UFLPA”), which was enacted in 2021, created a rebuttable presumption that goods produced in whole or in part in the XUAR or connected with certain listed companies, including the XPCC and its affiliates, were produced using forced labor and are, therefore, barred from entry into the United States. Requirements for enhanced supply chain traceability, monitoring and risk screening, including pursuant to the UFLPA, have increased our compliance costs. Furthermore, while we do not knowingly source any products or product inputs from the XUAR, we have no known involvement with the XPCC, its affiliates or other entity list companies and we prohibit our suppliers from using forced labor, our supply chain is complex, and we may not have the ability to completely map and monitor it. We could be passed onsubject to penalties, fines or sanctions if any of the manufacturers from which we purchase goods is found or suspected to have dealings, directly or indirectly, with the XUAR or entity list companies, and any actions taken by customs officials to block the import of products suspected of being manufactured with forced labor, whether or not founded, could adversely impact our operations and financial results.
Furthermore, consumers are increasingly attuned to the environmental and social impact of the products they purchase and companies with which they do business. A failure to effectively convey our core principles to our customers and investors or to accurately communicate our gross margins will besocial responsibility and environmental sustainability initiatives and respond to concerns raised about them, including through our social media channels, could result in a negative public perception of our brands and products and negatively impacted.
As a multi-national apparel company, we may experience fluctuations in our tax liabilities and effective tax rate.
As a multi-national apparel company, we are subject to income taxes in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. We record our income tax liability based on an analysis and interpretation of local tax laws and regulations, which requires a significant amount of judgment and estimation. In addition, we may from time to time modify our operations in an effort to minimize our consolidated income tax expense. Our operationseffective income tax rate in any particular period or in future periods may be affected by a number of factors, including a shift in the mix of revenues, income and/or losses among domestic and international sources during a year or over a period of years; changes in weather patterns, natural tax laws and regulations and/or man-made disasters, war, terrorisminternational tax treaties; the outcome of income tax audits in various jurisdictions; the difference
38
between the income tax deduction and the previously recognized income tax benefit related to the vesting of equity-based compensation awards; and the resolution of uncertain tax positions, any of which could adversely affect our effective income tax rate and profitability. Further, changes to U.S. and foreign tax laws and compliance with new tax laws could have a material adverse effect on our tax expense, cash flows and operations.
Impairment charges for goodwill or intangible assets could have a material adverse impact on our financial results.
The carrying values of our goodwill and intangible assets, including those recorded in connection with our acquisition of a business or our bricks and mortar operations, are subject to periodic impairment testing. In connection with our acquisition of Johnny Was, we preliminarily recognized $135 million of intangible assets and $97 million of goodwill associated with those operations. Impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets requires us to make estimates about future performance and cash flows that are inherently uncertain and can be affected by numerous factors, including changes in economic conditions, income tax rates, our results of operations and competitive conditions in the industry. For example, in Fiscal 2020, we recognized $60 million of non-cash impairment charges for goodwill and intangible assets, which reflected the impact of COVID-19 on the operations, plans and strategy of the Southern Tide business. Future impairment charges may have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements or results of operations.
Any failure to maintain liquor licenses or comply with applicable regulations could adversely affect the profitability of our restaurant operations.
The restaurant industry requires compliance with a variety of federal, state and local regulations. In particular, all of our Tommy Bahama restaurants and Marlin Bars serve alcohol and, therefore, maintain liquor licenses. Our ability to maintain our liquor licenses and other permits depends on our compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The loss of a liquor license or other catastrophes.
General Risks
Our sales volumebusiness depends on our senior management and other key personnel, and failure to successfully attract, retain and implement succession of our senior management and key personnel or to attract, develop and retain personnel to fulfill other critical functions may have an adverse effect on our operations and ability to execute our strategies.
Our senior management has substantial experience in the apparel and related industries, with our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Thomas C. Chubb III having worked with our company for more than 30 years, including in various executive management capacities. Our success depends on disciplined execution at all levels of our organization, including our senior management, and continued succession planning. Competition for qualified personnel is intense, and we compete to attract and retain these individuals with other companies that may have greater financial resources than us. While we believe that we have depth within our management team, the unexpected loss of any of our senior management, or the unsuccessful integration of new leadership, could harm our business and financial performance. In addition, we may be adversely affected by unseasonableunable to retain or severe weather conditions, natural or man-made disasters, war, terrorist attacks, including heightened security measuresrecruit qualified personnel in key areas such as product design, sales, marketing (including individuals with key insights into digital and responsive military actions, orsocial media marketing strategies), distribution, technology, sourcing and other catastrophessupport functions, which could result in missed sales opportunities and harm to key business relationships.
During Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2022, we experienced staffing shortages, higher turnover rates and challenges in recruiting and retaining qualified employees at all levels of our organization, which may cause consumerscontinue in the future. Our inability or failure to alter their purchasing habits or result in a disruption to our operations. Because of the seasonality of our business, the concentration of a significant proportion of our retail storesrecruit and wholesale customers in certain geographic regions, the concentration of our sourcing operations and the concentration of our distribution operations, the occurrence of such eventsretain skilled personnel could disproportionatelyadversely impact our business, financial conditionperformance, reputation, ability to keep up with the needs of our customers and operating results.overall customer satisfaction.
39
We may be unable to protect our trademarks and other intellectual property.
We believe that our trademarks and other intellectual property rights have significant value and are important to our continued success and our competitive position due to their recognition by consumers and retailers. Substantially all of our consolidated net sales are attributable to branded products for which we own the trademark. Therefore, our success depends to a significant degree on our ability to protect and preserve our intellectual property. We rely on laws in the United States and other countries to protect our proprietary rights. However, we may not be able to sufficiently prevent third parties from using our intellectual property without our authorization, particularly in those countries where the laws do not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. We have also experienced inherent, expanding challenges with enforcing our intellectual property rights on third party e-commerce websites, especially those based in foreign jurisdictions. The use of our intellectual property or similar intellectual property by others could reduce or eliminate any competitive advantage we have developed, causing us to lose sales or otherwise harm the reputation of our brands.
We devote significant resources to the registration and protection of our trademarks and to anti-counterfeiting efforts. Despite these efforts, we regularly discover products that infringe our proprietary rights or that otherwise seek to mimic or leverage our intellectual property. Counterfeiting and other infringing activities typically increase as brand recognition increases, and association of our brands with inferior counterfeit reproductions or third party labels could adversely affect the integrity and reputation of our brands.
Additionally, there can be no assurance that the actions that we have taken will be adequate to prevent others from seeking to block sales of our products as violations of proprietary rights. As we extend our brands into new product categories and new product lines and expand the geographic scope of the sourcing, distribution and marketing of our brands’ products, we could become subject to litigation or challenge based on allegations of the infringement of intellectual property rights of third parties, including by various third parties who have acquired or claim ownership rights in some of our trademarks internationally. In the event a claim of infringement against us is successful or would otherwise affect our operations, we may be required to pay damages, royalties, license fees or other costs to continue to use intellectual property rights that we had been using, or we may be unable to obtain necessary licenses from third parties at a reasonable cost or within a reasonable time. Litigation and other legal action of this type, regardless of whether it is successful, could result in substantial costs to us and diversion of the attention of our management and other resources.
We are subject to periodic litigation, which may cause us to incur substantial expenses or unexpected liabilities.
From time to time, we are involved in litigation matters, which may relate to employment practices, consumer protection, intellectual property infringement, product liability and contract disputes, and which may include a class action, and we are subject to various claims and pending or threatened lawsuits in the ordinary course of our business operations. Often, these cases raise complex factual and legal issues and, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings. Regardless of the outcome or whether the claims have merit, legal proceedings may be expensive and require significant management time.
Our common stock price may be highly volatile, and we may be unable to meet investor and analyst expectations.
Our common stock, which is currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange, may be subject to extreme and unpredictable fluctuations in price. The market price of our common stock may decline if the results of our operations or projected results do not meet the expectations of securities analysts or our shareholders, investors are unreceptive to an announcement of changes in our business could be impactedor our strategic initiatives or securities analysts who follow our company change their ratings or estimates of our future performance. Our stock price may also change suddenly as a result of actionsother factors beyond our control, including general economic conditions, new or modified legislation impacting our industry, announcements by activist shareholdersour competitors, or others.sales of our stock by existing shareholders.
The stock market has also experienced periods of general volatility which result in fluctuations in stock prices unrelated or disproportionate to operating performance. We cannot provide assurances that there will continue to be an
40
active trading market for our stock, and the price of our common stock may also be affected by illiquidity or perceived illiquidity of our shares. In addition, although we have paid dividends in each quarter since we became a public company in July 1960, we may discontinue or reduce dividend payments based upon several factors, including the terms of our credit facility and applicable law, the need for funding for our strategic initiatives or other capital expenditures and our future cash needs. Any modification or suspension of dividends could cause our stock price to decline. We also may be subject, from time to time, to legal and business challenges or disruptions in the operation of our company due to actions instituted by activist shareholders or others. Responding to such actions could be costly and time-consuming,
Other factors may not align withhave an adverse effect on our business, strategiesresults of operations and financial condition.

Perceived uncertainties as to our future direction as a result of shareholder activism may lead to the perception of a changeand financial performance, including changes in social, political, labor, health and economic conditions; changes in the directionoperations or liquidity of any of the parties with which we conduct our business, or in the access to capital markets for any such parties; increasing costs of customer acquisition, activation and retention; consolidation in the retail industry; and other instabilityfactors.

As disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2021, and in subsequent filings, on December 7, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized us to spend up to $150 million to repurchase shares of our stock.

Over the life of the $100 million open market repurchase program we repurchased 1.1 million, or 6%, of our outstanding shares at the commencement of the program, for an average price of $90 per share.
After considering the repurchases during Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2022 as of January 28, 2023, there were no amounts remaining under the open market repurchase program and $50 million remaining under the Board of Directors’ authorization.

Under the plans, we can repurchase shares from employees to cover employee tax liabilities related to the vesting of equity awards. Duringshares of our stock.

OVERVIEW
Business Overview
We are a globalleading branded apparel company that designs, sources, markets and distributes products bearing the trademarks of our portfolio of lifestyle brands: Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer, andJohnny Was, Southern Tide, lifestyle brands, other owned brandsTBBC and licensed brands as well as private label apparel products. During Fiscal 2016, 92% of our net sales were from products bearing brands that we own and 66% of our net sales were through our direct to consumer channels of distribution. In Fiscal 2015, 96% of our consolidated net sales were to customers located in the United States, with the sales outside the United States consisting primarily of our Tommy Bahama products in Canada and the Asia-Pacific region.
Our business strategy is to develop and market compelling lifestyle brands and products that evoke a strong emotional response from our target consumers. We consider lifestyle brands to be those brands that have a clearly defined and targeted point of view inspired by an appealing lifestyle or attitude. Furthermore, we believe lifestyle brands like Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Southern Tide that create an emotional connection with consumers can command greater loyalty and higher price points at retail and create licensing opportunities, which may drive higher earnings.opportunities. We believe the attraction of a lifestyle brand depends on creating compelling product, effectively communicating the respective lifestyle brand message and distributing products to consumers where and when they want it.
During Fiscal 2022, 80% of our owned lifestyle branded products primarilyconsolidated net sales were through our direct to consumer channels consisting of distribution, which consist of our brand specific full-price retail stores, e-commerce websites and outlets, as well as our Tommy Bahama food and Lilly Pulitzer retail stores andbeverage operations. The remaining 20% of our e-commerce sites for Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Southern Tide, andnet sales was generated through our wholesale distribution channels. Our direct to consumer operations provide us with the opportunity to interact directly with our customers, present to them a broad assortment of our current season products and immerse them in the theme of the lifestyle brand. We believe that presenting our products in a setting specifically designed to showcase the lifestyle onchannels, which the brands are based enhances the image of our brands. Our Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzer full-price retail stores provide high visibility for our brands and products, and allow us to stay close to the preferences of our consumers, while also providing a platform for long-term growth for the brands. In Tommy Bahama, we also operate a limited number of restaurants, generally adjacent to a Tommy Bahama full-price retail store location, which we believe further enhance the brand's image with consumers.
For additional information about our business and each of our operating groups, see Part I, Item 1. Business included in this report. Important factors relating to certain risks which could impact our business are described in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of this report.
Industry Overview
We operate in a highly competitive apparel markets in which numerous U.S.-based and foreign apparel firms compete.market that continues to evolve rapidly with the expanding application of technology to fashion retail. No single apparel firm or small group of apparel firms dominates the apparel industry, and our direct competitors vary by operating group and distribution channel. We believe the principal competitive factors in the apparel industry are reputation, value, and image of brand names; design; consumer preference; price; quality; marketing; product fulfillment capabilities; and customer service.

We continue to believe that our lifestyle brands, with their strong emotional connections with consumers, are well suited to succeed and thrive in the long term while managing the various challenges facing our industry.

Despite the changes in the industry. Further, negative economic conditions often have a longer and more severe impact on the apparel industry than on other industries due, in part, to apparel purchases often being more of a discretionary purchase. The current macroenvironment, with heightened concerns about inflation, a global economic recession, geopolitical issues, the stability of the U.S. banking system, the availability and cost of credit and continued increases in interest rates, is creating a complex and challenging retail environment, we expect there will continuewhich may impact our businesses and exacerbate some of the inherent challenges to be desirable locations to increase our store count.
Johnny Was Acquisition
On September 19, 2022, we must be diligent in our effort to avoid compromisingacquired the integrity ofJohnny Was California lifestyle brand and related operations, which includes the brand by maintaining or growing sales with wholesale customers that may not be aligned with our long-term strategy. This is particularly important with the challenges in the department store channel, which represents about one-half of our consolidated wholesale sales, or 16% of our consolidated net sales. We also believe that there are opportunities for modest sales growth for Lanier Apparel in the future through new product programs for existing and new customers.

In the 12 months ended on January 28, 2023, the Johnny Was business generated approximately $207 million of net sales. We anticipate that gross margins in the future for Johnny Was will be approximately 65%, as we do not anticipate any subsequent inventory step-up charges related to Part I, Item 1. Businesspurchase accounting. We also anticipate Johnny Was’ earnings before interest and taxes will be in the high single digit percentage of net sales range, which includes $14 million of expected amortization of intangible assets in Fiscal 2023, or the mid teen percentage of net sales range absent the amortization of intangible assets. We expect that the business will continue to grow as each channel of distribution grows. During the 12 months ended on January 28, 2023, e-commerce, retail and wholesale represented 40%, 35% and 25%, respectively, of the net sales of Johnny Was.

Share Repurchase Program
As disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2021, and in subsequent filings, on December 7, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized us to spend up to $150 million to repurchase shares of our stock. This authorization superseded and replaced all previous authorizations to repurchase shares of our stock and has no automatic expiration. Pursuant to the Board of Directors’ authorization, we entered into a $100 million open market stock repurchase program (Rule 10b5-1 plan) to acquire shares of our stock, under which we repurchased shares of our stock totaling: (1) $8 million in the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2021, (2) $43 million in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2022, (3) $30 million in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2022, (4) $14 million in the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2022, and (5) $5 million in the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2022, which completed the purchases pursuant to the open market stock repurchase program. Over the life of the $100 million open market repurchase program we repurchased 1.1 million, or 6%, of our outstanding shares at the commencement of the program for an average price of $90 per share.
After considering the repurchases during Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2022 as of January 28, 2023, there were no amounts remaining under the open market repurchase program and $50 million remaining under the Board of Directors’ authorization.
Lanier Apparel Exit
In Fiscal 2021, we exited our Lanier Apparel business, which had been focused on moderately priced tailored clothing and related products. This decision aligns with our stated business strategy of developing and marketing compelling lifestyle brands. It also took into consideration the increased macroeconomic challenges faced by the Lanier Apparel business, many of which were magnified by the COVID-19 pandemic. The operating results of the Lanier Apparel business in Fiscal 2021 largely consisted of activities associated with the wind down of operations following our Fiscal 2020 decision to exit the business. Refer to Note 11 and Note 2 toof our consolidated financial statements both included in this report.
Key Operating Results
The following table sets forth our consolidated operating results (in thousands, except per share amounts) for Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021:
| | | | | | |
|
| Fiscal 2022 | | Fiscal 2021 | ||
Net sales | | $ | 1,411,528 | | $ | 1,142,079 |
Operating income | | $ | 218,774 | | $ | 165,503 |

Net earnings per diluted share | | $ | 10.19 | | $ | 7.78 |
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted | |
| 16,259 | |
| 16,869 |
Net earnings per diluted share were $10.19 in Fiscal 2022 compared to $7.78 in Fiscal 2021. The 31% increase in net earnings per diluted share was primarily operated throughdue to a 26% increase in net earnings as well as a 4% reduction in weighted average shares outstanding due to our share repurchase program which commenced in the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2021 and was completed in the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2022. The increased net earnings was primarily due to higher net sales and gross margin, partially offset by increased SG&A, a decrease in royalties and other income, a higher effective tax rate and increased interest expense. The increased net earnings include higher operating income in both Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzer partially offset by a reduction in operating income in Lanier Apparel, a larger operating loss in Corporate and Southern TideOther, the operating groups. loss of Johnny Was and lower operating income in Emerging Brands. Each of these changes are discussed further below.
During Fiscal 2022 we generated $126 million of cash flows from operations, which exceeded our cash used for capital expenditures and dividends. With our long history of strong positive cash flows from operations exceeding cash requirements for capital expenditures and dividends and our strong balance sheet, we believe our anticipated future cash flows from operations will provide sufficient cash over both the short and the long term to satisfy our ongoing operating cash requirements, ample funds to continue to invest in our lifestyle brands, direct to consumer initiatives and
47
information technology projects, additional cash flow to repay outstanding debt and sufficient cash for other strategic initiatives.
OPERATING GROUPS
We identify our operating groups based on the way our management organizes the components of our business for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. Our operating group structure reflects a brand-focused management approach, emphasizing operational coordination and resource allocation across each brand'sbrand’s direct to consumer, wholesale and licensing operations, as applicable.
COMPARABLE STORE SALES
We often disclose comparable store sales in order to provide additional information regarding changes in our results of operations between periods. Our disclosures of comparable store sales include net sales from our full-price retail stores and our e-commerce sites, excluding sales associated with e-commerce flash clearance sales. We believe that the inclusion of both our full-price retail stores and e-commerce sites in the comparable store sales disclosures is a more meaningful way of reporting our comparable store sales results, given similar inventory planning, allocation and return policies, as well as our cross-channel marketing and other initiatives for the direct to consumer channel.channels. For our comparable store sales disclosures, we exclude (1) outlet store sales, warehouse sales and e-commerce flash clearance sales, as those clearance sales are used primarily to liquidate end of season inventory, which may vary significantly depending on the level of end of season inventory on hand and generally occur at lower gross margins than our non-clearance direct to consumer sales, and (2) restaurantfood and beverage sales, as we do not currently believe that the inclusion of restaurantfood and beverage sales in our comparable sales disclosures is meaningful in assessing our consolidated results of operations.branded apparel businesses. Comparable store sales information reflects net sales, including shipping and handling revenues, if any, associated with product sales.
For purposes of our disclosures, we consider a comparable store to be, in addition to oursales consists of sales through e-commerce sites aand any physical full-price retail store that was owned and open as of the beginning of the prior fiscal year and which did not have during the relevant periods, and is not within the current fiscal year scheduled to have, (1) a remodel resultingor other event which would result in the store being closeda closure for an extended period of time (which we define as a period of two weeks or longer), (2) a greater than 15% change in the size of the retail space due to expansion, reduction or relocation to a new retail space or (3) a relocation to a new space that wasis significantly different from the prior retail space, or (4) a closing or opening of a Tommy Bahama restaurant adjacent to the full-price retail store.space. For those stores which are excluded from comparable stores based on the preceding sentence, the stores continue to be excluded from comparable store sales until the criteria for a new store is met subsequent to the remodel, relocation, or restaurant closing or opening.other event. A full-price retail store that is remodeled will generally will continue to be included in our comparable store sales metrics as a store is not typically closed for longer than a two weektwo-week period during a remodel; however, in some cases a store may be closed for more than two weeks during a remodel. Afull-price retail store that is relocated generally will not be included in our comparable store sales metrics until that store has been open in the relocated space for the entirety of the prior fiscal year asbecause the size or other characteristics of the store typically change significantly from the prior location. Additionally, anyAny stores that were closed during the prior fiscal year or current fiscal year, or which we planexpect to close or vacate in the current fiscal year, as well as any pop-up or temporary store locations, are excluded from the definition ofour comparable store sales.
Definitions and calculations of comparable store sales differ among retail companies, and therefore comparable store sales metrics disclosed by us may not be comparable to the metrics disclosed by other companies.

Consolidated net sales increased $53.3 million, or 5.5%,were $1.4 billion in Fiscal 20162022 compared to Fiscal 2015. The increase in consolidated net sales was primarily driven by (1) the $27.4 million of net sales of Southern Tide, which was acquired on April 19, 2016, (2) an incremental$1.1 billion in Fiscal 2021. The 24% increase in net sales increaseincluded double-digit percentage increases in each of $20.2 million associated with the operation of additional full-price retail stores inour Tommy Bahama, and Lilly Pulitzer, (3) a $7.0 million net increase in direct to consumer clearance sales reflecting an increase in e-commerce flash clearance sales at Lilly Pulitzer, and decreases in outlet storeEmerging Brands operating groups as well as $73 million of sales at Tommy Bahama and (4) a $5.4 million increase in restaurant sales in Tommy Bahama.for Johnny Was, which we acquired during the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2022. These sales increases were partially offset by a $6.5$25 million or 2%, decrease in comparable store sales to $404.1 millionfor Lanier Apparel, which we exited in Fiscal 20162021. In Fiscal 2021, and particularly in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2021, consumer traffic and our operations had only partially rebounded from $410.6 millionthe impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic as we still had certain store closures and operating restrictions in certain regions, wholesale customer demand was still soft and most of the consumer traffic improvement occurred after the First Quarter of Fiscal 2021. The higher net sales in Fiscal 2015 reflecting2022 were due to a decreasecombination of increased volume as well as price increases, which were implemented during Fiscal 2022 in comparable store sales at Tommy Bahama of 3%order to mitigate increased product and another costs.
The increase in comparable store sales at Lilly Pulitzer of 2%. We believe that certain macroeconomic factors, including lower retail store traffic, the evolving impact of digital technology on consumer shopping habits and the 2016 election cycle, impacted the sales in each of our direct to consumer and wholesale businesses in Fiscal 2016. The changes in net sales by operating group are discussed below.
● | an increase in full-price retail store sales of $101 million, or 26%, including (1) a 20% aggregate increase in full-price retail store sales in Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Emerging Brands driven primarily by increased consumer traffic and average dollars per transaction partially offset by lower conversion rates, and (2) $26 million of full-price retail store sales in Johnny Was; |
● | an increase in full-price e-commerce sales of $75 million, or 22%, including (1) a 13% aggregate increase in e-commerce sales in Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Emerging Brands and (2) $31 million of full-price e-commerce sales in Johnny Was; |
● | an increase in wholesale sales of $50 million, or 22%, with this increase primarily due to (1) higher order books as wholesale accounts bought more inventory in Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Emerging Brands for Fiscal 2022 compared to Fiscal 2021 and (2) $16 million of wholesale sales for Johnny Was offset by a reduction of $25 million of wholesale sales for Lanier Apparel, with no Lanier Apparel sales in Fiscal 2022; |
● | an increase in e-commerce flash clearance sales of $22 million, or 68%; |
● | an increase in food and beverage sales of $13 million, or 14%; and |
● | an increase in outlet sales of $9 million, or 16%, including $1 million of outlet sales in Johnny Was. |

These sales increases were offset by (1) a $8.8$8 million, or 3%, decrease in comparable store sales to $302.5 million in Fiscal 2016 from $311.3 million in Fiscal 2015, (2) a $3.6 million decrease in net sales through our off-price direct to consumer clearance channels, primarily reflecting a decrease in sales in existing outlet stores, and (3) a $5.2 million decrease in wholesale sales. The decreases in the direct to consumer channels were primarily due to lower traffic in both our full-price retail stores and outlet stores. The decrease in wholesale sales reflects lower full-price wholesale sales reflecting the challenging environment of our wholesale department store and specialty store accounts.

The increase in consolidatedincreased gross profit of 26% was primarily due to higherthe 24% increase in net sales as well as increased consolidated gross margin. The higher gross margin in Fiscal 2022 included the benefit of (1) a $13 million lower LIFO accounting charge in Fiscal 2022 compared to Fiscal 2021 as discussed above,below, (2) lower incremental freight costs of $7 million as compared to Fiscal 2021 after incurring approximately 160 basis points of incremental freight in Fiscal 2021, but still 60 basis points of incremental freight in Fiscal 2022 as compared to pre-pandemic levels, (3) a change in sales mix with the exit of the lower gross margin Lanier Apparel business and addition of the higher gross margin Johnny Was business, and (4) improved initial product margins, as certain sales prices were increased more than the increased product costs. These items were partially offset by (1) the impact of the Lilly Pulitzer e-commerce flash sale, which represented a larger proportion of net sales and had lower gross margins in Fiscal 2022, (2) increased inventory markdowns in the Emerging Brands businesses, (3) the $4 million inventory step up charge related to the Johnny Was acquisition in Fiscal 2022, and (4) the absence of a favorable adjustment of Lanier Apparel exit charges in cost of goods sold after recognizing a $3 million favorable adjustment of Lanier Apparel exit charges in cost of goods sold in Fiscal 2021.
During Fiscal 2022, LIFO accounting had a $3 million unfavorable impact on gross profit, primarily due to an $8 million increase in the LIFO reserve in Fiscal 2022, which was partially offset by a $5 million increase in inventory markdowns, which are generally reversed in Corporate and Other as part of LIFO accounting. The favorable impact of these items was partially offset byinventory markdowns in Fiscal 2022 primarily related to the Emerging Brands business. During Fiscal 2021, LIFO accounting had a $16 million unfavorable impact of the inventory step-up charge included in Southern Tide and loweron gross margins in Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzer, both as discussed below. The table below presents gross margin by operating group and in total for Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal 2015.

In the Third Quarter and Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2021, freight costs increased significantly from prior periods, including rate increases for both ocean and air shipments as well as the increased utilization of air freight on inbound products as we navigated our need for inventory and the supply chain challenges. The increased inbound freight rates and utilization of air freight moderated in Fiscal 2022 and returned closer to pre-pandemic levels in the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 20162022 due to the easing of pricing pressures and a more accelerated timeline we implemented for certain women's, homeinventory purchases to reduce the risk of late delivery of our products.
Tommy Bahama:
The higher gross margin for Tommy Bahama was primarily due to reduced freight costs in Fiscal 2022, after significantly higher freight costs were incurred in the Third and other productsFourth Quarters of Fiscal 2021, as well as lower gross margin in both the direct to consumer and wholesale businesses. The inventory markdowns primarily resulted from a change in Tommy Bahama's approach to inventory clearance; starting in January 2017, Tommy Bahama intends to aggressively clear prior season inventoryimproved initial product margins. These items were partially offset by taking initial markdowns on certain product categories in its full-price retail stores and then clearing any remaining inventory through both its outlet stores and third party off-price retailers and by operating the outlet stores with lower inventory levels and with better merchandised assortments.
Lilly Pulitzer:
The decrease inlower gross margin for Lilly Pulitzer in Fiscal 2016 was primarily driven by thedue to (1) a change in sales mix aswith e-commerce flash clearance sales, representedwhich typically have gross margins in the low 40% range, representing a greaterlarger proportion of net sales during Fiscal 2016 and in-store markdowns were more significant(2) lower gross margins on the e-commerce flash clearance sales, as the gross margin achieved in Fiscal 2016.2021 was higher than typical e-commerce flash clearance sales gross margins due to less end of season inventory available in Fiscal 2021. The impact of the e-commerce flash clearance sales was partially offset by (1) reduced freight costs, (2) improved initial product margins and (3) better gross margin on wholesale off-price sales.
53
Johnny Was:
The increase inJohnny Was gross profit and gross margin for Lanier Apparelthe 19 weeks from September 19, 2022 through the end of the fiscal year was primarily due to the net favorable impact of in-stock program allowances and inventory markdowns in Fiscal 2016 as compared to Fiscal 2015.
Emerging Brands:
The lower gross margin for future periods. All amounts related to the step-up of inventory were recognized during Fiscal 2016, thus gross margin for Southern Tide is expected to be higher in future periods.

Consolidated gross margin | 57.6 | % | 56.3 | % |
Lanier Apparel:
There was no gross margin was primarily due to a greater proportion of sales in our full-price retail stores and e-commerce website occurring in connection with Tommy Bahama's loyalty award card, Flip-Side and Friends & Family events and more significant in-store discounts in our outlet stores. The lower gross margin in the wholesale business was primarily a result of more significant discounts and allowances, particularly for wholesale off-price sales.
Corporate and Other:
The gross profit in Corporate and Other in each period primarily reflects (1) the gross profit of our Lyons, Georgia distribution center operations, (2)includes the impact of LIFO accounting adjustments, the sales of the Lyons, Georgia distribution center operations to third parties and the sales of the Oxford America business. The primary driver for the improved gross profit was the $13 million lower LIFO accounting charge. The LIFO accounting impact in Corporate and Other in each period includes the net impact of (1) a charge in Corporate and Other when inventory that had been marked down in an operating group in a prior period was ultimately sold, (2) a credit in Corporate and Other when inventory had been marked down in an operating group in the current period, but had not been sold as of period end and (3) the impact of certain consolidating adjustments, includingchange in the elimination of intercompany sales between our operating groups. The higher gross profit for Corporate and Other was due to the lower impact of LIFO accounting in Fiscal 2015.

SG&A was primarily due$692 million in Fiscal 2022 compared to (1) $19.9SG&A of $574 million in Fiscal 2021. The increase includes the net impact of approximately $46 million of incremental costs in Fiscal 2015SG&A associated with additional Tommy Bahama full-price retail stores and restaurants,Johnny Was, including the Waikiki retail-restaurant location, and Lilly Pulitzer stores, (2) costs to support the growing Lilly Pulitzer and Tommy Bahama businesses, (3) $2.7 million of increased occupancy costs associated with duplicate rent expense, moving costs and higher rent structure related to the relocation of Tommy Bahama's office in Seattle, Washington and (4) $1.1 million of additional equity compensation expense. SG&A included $1.9$5 million of amortization of intangible assets, in Fiscal 2015 compared to $2.32022, and $10 million of SG&A associated with Lanier Apparel, including $4 million of Lanier Apparel exit charges, in Fiscal 2014.2021. These amounts for Johnny Was and Lanier Apparel are included in the changes in each category noted in the following paragraph, as applicable.
The 21% increase in SG&A in Fiscal 2022 included (1) increased employment costs of $54 million, including increases in retail store, food and beverage and distribution center operations and other functions, as well as higher stock compensation, employee benefits and bonus amounts, (2) a $22 million increase in advertising expense, (3) an $18 million increase in variable expenses related to higher sales, including credit card transaction fees, supplies,
54
commissions, royalties and other expenses, (4) a $12 million increase in occupancy expenses, including increases in percentage rent, occupancy related operating costs and base rent, (5) a $5 million increase in amortization of intangible assets expense, due to the amortization associated with Johnny Was, (6) $3 million of higher travel expenses, (7) $3 million of charges related to transaction expenses and integration costs associated with the Johnny Was acquisition, (8) a $3 million increase in administrative expenses including professional fees and other items, and (9) a $2 million increase in depreciation expense. These items were partially offset by the absence of $5 million of Tommy Bahama lease termination charges and $1 million of TBBC change in fair value of contingent consideration incurred in Fiscal 2021.

Tommy Bahama lease termination charge | | $ | — | | $ | 4,850 | | | | | | |
The lowerincreased operating income for Tommy Bahama was primarily due to the higher SG&A and lowersales, gross margin partially offset by higher sales. The higher SG&A reflects (1) $15.1 million of incremental SG&A associated with the cost of operating additional full-price retail stores and restaurants, including pre-opening rent and set-up costs associated with new stores and restaurants, (2) $2.7 million of increased occupancy costs associated with duplicate rent expense, moving costs and higher rent structure related to the relocation of Tommy Bahama's office in Seattle, Washington during the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2015 and (3) higher costs to support the growing Tommy Bahama business. These higher SG&A amounts were partially offset by reductions in other SG&A accounts, including incentive compensation. The operating loss for the Tommy Bahama Waikiki retail-restaurant location prior to opening in late October 2015 was $2.1 million, with the substantial majority of this loss consisting of pre-opening rent and set-up costs, which are included in the incremental SG&A amount associated with new locations above. Fiscal 2015 included an operating loss of $8.3 million related to our Tommy Bahama Asia-Pacific expansion compared to an operating loss of $10.3 million in Fiscal 2014.

The increased operating income for Lilly Pulitzer was primarily due to higher sales and royalty income partially offset by increased SG&A and lower gross margin. The increased SG&A was primarily due to (1) $7 million of increased advertising expense, (2) $4.8$6 million of incrementalincreased employment costs, with increased headcount, salaries and wages partially offset by lower incentive compensation amounts, (3) $4 million of increased variable expenses related to higher net sales including credit card transaction fees, supplies and other expenses, (4) $1 million of higher depreciation expense, (5) $1 million of increased occupancy expenses and (6) $1 million of higher travel expenses.

Net earnings per diluted share were $10.19 in Fiscal 2022 compared to $7.78 in Fiscal 2021. The 31% increase in net earnings per diluted share was primarily due to a 26% increase in net earnings as well as a 4% reduction in weighted average shares outstanding due to our share repurchase program which commenced in the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2021 and was completed in the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2022. The increased net earnings was primarily due to higher net sales and gross margin, partially offset by increased SG&A, a decrease in royalties and other income, a higher effective tax rate and increased interest expense. The increased net earnings include higher operating income in both Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzer partially offset by a reduction in operating income in Lanier Apparel, a larger operating loss in Corporate and Other, the operating loss of Johnny Was and lower operating income in Tommy Bahama and (2) lower operating income in Lanier Apparel.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary source of revenue and cash flow is through our design, sourcing, marketing and distribution of branded apparel products bearing the trademarks of our Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer, andJohnny Was, Southern Tide, TBBC and Duck Head lifestyle brands, as well as certain licensed and private label products. brands. We primarily distribute our products to our customers via direct to consumer channels of distribution, but we also distribute our products via wholesale channels of distribution.
Our primary uses of cash flow include the purchase of products in the operation of our businessbranded apparel products from third party contract manufacturerssuppliers located outside of the United States, as well as operating expenses, including employee compensation and benefits, operating lease commitments and other occupancy-related costs, marketing and advertising costs, information technology costs, variable expenses, distribution costs, other general and administrative expenses and the periodic payment of periodic interest payments related to our financing arrangements.interest. Additionally, we use our cash for the funding ofto fund capital expenditures and other investing activities, dividends, share repurchases and repayment of indebtedness.indebtedness, if any. In the ordinary course of business, we maintain certain levels of inventory, and extend credit to our wholesale customers.customers and pay our operating expenses. Thus, we require a certain amount of ongoing working capital to operate our business. IfOur need for working capital is typically seasonal with the greatest working capital requirements to support our larger spring, summer and holiday direct to consumer seasons. Our capital needs depend on many factors including the results of our operations and cash flows, future growth rates, the need to finance inventory levels and the success of our various products.
We have a long history of generating sufficient cash flows from operations to satisfy our cash requirements for our ongoing capital expenditure needs as well as payment of dividends and repayment of our debt. Thus, we believe our anticipated future cash flows from operating activities will provide (1) sufficient cash over both the short and long term to satisfy our ongoing operating cash requirements, (2) ample funds to continue to invest in our lifestyle brands, direct to consumer initiatives and information technology projects, (3) additional cash flow to repay outstanding debt and (4) sufficient cash for other strategic initiatives. Also, if cash inflows are less than cash outflows, we have access to amounts under our U.S.$325 million Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement,Agreement”), subject to its terms, which is described below. We may seek to finance our future cash requirements through various methods, including cash flow from operations, borrowings under our current or additional credit facilities, sales

The increase in inventories of our existing brands was primarily due to (1) inventory in Fiscal 2021 generally at lower than optimal levels, when a stronger than anticipated rebound in consumer demand outpaced inventory purchases, (2) increases resulting from the paymentearlier receipt of $18.1 millioninventory in Fiscal 2022 to mitigate supply chain risks, (3) anticipated sales growth in each of dividends whichour brands for Fiscal 2023 and (4) increased product costs. The inventory increases in our brands were partially offset by $118.6the impact of LIFO accounting of $3 million, including the net impact of an $8 million increase in the LIFO reserve and a $5 million increase in inventory markdowns as of January 28, 2023.

The increase in other assets, net as of January 28, 2023, was primarily due to an increase in investments in unconsolidated entities partially offset by a reduction in assets set aside for potential deferred compensation obligations.

Cash and cash equivalents were $9 million as of January 28, 2023, compared to $45 million as of January 29, 2022. There were no short-term investments as of January 28, 2023, compared to $165 million as of January 29, 2022. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments from January 29, 2022 was due to the use of cash and short-term investments to fund the acquisition of Johnny Was, with the remainder of the purchase price funded via borrowings pursuant to our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement. Changes in cash flows in Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021 related to operating activities, investing activities and financing activities are discussed below.
Operating Activities:
In Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, operating activities provided $126 million and $198 million of cash, respectively. The cash flow from operating activities for each period primarily consisted of net earnings for the relevant period adjusted, as applicable, for non-cash activities including depreciation, amortization, equity-based compensation, gains on sale of assets and other non-cash items as well as the net impact of changes in deferred income taxes and operating assets and liabilities. In Fiscal 2022, changes in operating assets and liabilities had a significant net unfavorable impact on cash flow from operations, while in Fiscal 2021 the changes in operating assets and liabilities had a significant net favorable impact on cash flow from operations.
In Fiscal 2022, the net change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase in inventories, a decrease in other non-current liabilities, including operating lease liabilities, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, all of which decreased cash flow from operations, partially offset by a decrease in non-current assets, including operating lease assets, and an increase in current liabilities, which both increased cash flow from operations. Shareholders'In Fiscal 2021, changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily due to an increase in current liabilities, a decrease in non-current assets including operating lease assets, and a decrease in inventories, all of which increased cash flow from operations, partially offset by a decrease in non-current liabilities, including operating lease liabilities, which decreased cash flow from operations.
Investing Activities:
In Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, investing activities used $152 million and $182 million of cash, respectively. On an ongoing basis, our cash flow used in investing activities is expected to primarily consist of costs associated with investments in information technology initiatives, including e-commerce capabilities; direct to consumer operations, including opening, relocating and remodeling locations; and facilities enhancements for distribution centers and offices. Capital expenditures were $47 million and $32 million in Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, respectively.
During Fiscal 2022, we paid $264 million for the acquisition of Johnny Was. We also converted $165 million of short-term investments into cash to fund a portion of the Johnny Was acquisition. In Fiscal 2022, other investing activities included the net impact of an $8 million investment in an unconsolidated entity which has an ownership interest in the property that is being converted into the Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa in Fiscal 2023, the collection of a $2 million loan from a small apparel brand and the receipt of $1 million of proceeds from the sale of an office building in Lyons, Georgia.
62
During Fiscal 2021, we converted $165 million of cash on hand into short-term investments and received $15 million of proceeds from the sale of our investment in an unconsolidated entity. We also received $3 million of proceeds from the sale of Lanier Apparel’s Toccoa, Georgia distribution center, and made a loan of $2 million to a small apparel brand, both of which are included in other investing activities.
Financing Activities:
In Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, financing activities used $12 million and $38 million of cash, respectively. During Fiscal 2022, we used cash to repurchase $95 million of shares, consisting of repurchased shares of our stock pursuant to an open market stock repurchase program and equityincreased awards in respect of employee tax withholding liabilities, to pay $35 million of dividends and to pay $2 million of contingent consideration for the final contingent consideration payment related to the TBBC acquisition, which is included in other financing activities. In Fiscal 2022, we borrowed $119 million under our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement to fund our investing and financing activities that exceeded cash flow from operations.
In Fiscal 2021, we used cash flow from operations to pay $28 million of dividends, repurchase $11 million of shares, consisting of repurchased shares of our stock pursuant to an open market stock repurchase program and equity awards in respect of employee tax withholding liabilities, and pay $1 million of contingent consideration, which is included in other financing activities.
To the extent our net cash requirements exceed our net cash flows, we may borrow amounts from our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement, like we did during Fiscal 2022. Alternatively, if net cash requirements are less than our net cash flows, we may repay amounts outstanding on our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement, if any.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have a long history of generating sufficient cash flows from operations to satisfy our cash requirements for our ongoing capital expenditure needs as well as payment of dividends and repayment of our debt. Thus, we believe our anticipated future cash flows from operating activities will provide (1) sufficient cash over both the short and long term to satisfy our ongoing operating cash requirements, (2) ample funds to continue to invest in our lifestyle brands, direct to consumer initiatives and information technology projects, (3) additional cash flow to repay outstanding debt and (4) sufficient cash for other strategic initiatives.
Our capital needs depend on many factors including the results of our operations and cash flows, future growth rates, the need to finance inventory and the success of our various products. To the extent cash flow needs in the future exceed cash flow provided by our operations, we will have access, subject to its terms, to our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement to provide funding for operating activities, capital expenditures and acquisitions, if any, and any other investing or financing activities. Our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement may also be used to establish collateral for certain insurance programs and leases and to finance trade letters of credit for certain product purchases, which reduce the amounts available under our line of credit when issued and totaled $7 million as of January 30, 2016, primarily28, 2023. As of January 28, 2023, after considering our borrowings, letters of credit and available assets, we had $199 million of unused availability under our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement.
Our cash and debt, as a result of net earnings less dividends paid. Our debtwell as availability, levels and ratio of debt to total capital in future periods maywill not be comparable to historical amounts, asparticularly after the completion of the acquisition of Johnny Was in September 2022. Further, we continue to assess, and may possibly make changes to, our capital structure.structure, which we may achieve by borrowing from additional credit facilities, selling debt or equity securities or repurchasing additional shares of our stock in the future. Changes in our capital structure, in the future, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

The U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement generally (i)(1) is limited to a borrowing base consisting of specified percentages of eligible categories of assets, (ii)(2) accrues variable-rate interest (weighted average borrowinginterest rate of 2.3%6% as of January 28, 2017)2023), unused line fees and letter of credit fees based upon average utilization or unused availability, or utilization, (iii)as applicable, (3) requires periodic interest payments with principal due at maturity (May 2021) and (iv)(4) is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Oxford Industries, Inc. and substantially all of its domestic subsidiaries, including accounts receivable, books and records, chattel paper, deposit accounts, equipment, certain general intangibles, inventory, investment property (including the equity interests of certain subsidiaries), negotiable collateral, life insurance policies, supporting obligations, commercial tort claims, cash and cash equivalents, eligible trademarks, proceeds and other personal property.
The U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement is subject to a number of affirmative covenants regarding the delivery of financial information, compliance with law, maintenance of property, insurance requirements and conduct of business. Also, the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement is subject to certain negative covenants or other restrictions including, among other things, limitations on our ability to (i)(1) incur debt, (ii)(2) guaranty certain obligations, (iii)(3) incur liens, (iv)(4) pay dividends to shareholders, (v)(5) repurchase shares of our common stock, (vi)(6) make investments, (vii)(7) sell assets or stock of subsidiaries, (viii)(8) acquire assets or businesses, (ix)(9) merge or consolidate with other companies or (x)(10) prepay, retire, repurchase or redeem debt.
Additionally, the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant that applies only if excess availability under the agreement for three consecutive business days is less than the greater of (i)(1) $23.5 million or (ii)(2) 10% of availability. In such case, our fixed charge coverage ratio as defined in the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement must not be less than 1.0 to 1.0 for the immediately preceding 12 fiscal months for which financial statements have been delivered. This financial covenant continues to apply until we have maintained excess availability under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement of more than the greater of (i)(1) $23.5 million or (ii)(2) 10% of availability for 30 consecutive days.
We believe that the affirmative covenants, negative covenants, financial covenants and other restrictions under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement are customary for those included in similar facilities entered into at the time we entered intoamended the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement. During Fiscal 20162022 and as of January 28, 2017,2023, no financial covenant testing was required pursuant to our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement or Prior Credit Agreement as the minimum availability threshold was met at all times. As of January 28, 2017,2023, we were compliant with all applicable covenants related to the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement.
Operating Lease Commitments:
In the ordinary course of business, we will be ableenter into long-term real estate lease agreements for our direct to satisfyconsumer locations, which include both retail store and food and beverage locations, and office and warehouse/distribution space, as well as leases for certain equipment. Our real estate leases have varying terms and expirations and may have provisions to extend, renew or terminate the lease agreement at our ongoing cash requirements, which generally consistdiscretion, among other provisions. Our real estate lease terms are typically for a period of working capital10 years or less and typically require monthly rent payments with specified rent escalations during the lease term. Our real estate leases usually provide for payments of our pro rata share of real estate taxes, insurance and other operating activity needs, capital expenditures, interestexpenses applicable to the property, and certain of our leases require payment of sales taxes on rental payments. Also, our direct to consumer location leases often provide for contingent rent payments based on sales if certain sales thresholds are achieved. Base rent amounts specified in the
64
leases are included in determining the operating lease liabilities included in our consolidated balance sheet, while amounts for real estate taxes, sales tax, insurance, other operating expenses and contingent rent applicable to the properties pursuant to the respective leases are not included in determining the operating lease liabilities included in our consolidated balance sheets.
These leases require us to make a substantial amount of cash payments on our debt and dividends, if any, primarily from positive cash flow from operations supplemented by borrowingsan annual basis. Base rent amounts required to be paid in the future over the remaining lease terms under our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement. Our needexisting leases as of January 28, 2023, totaled $336 million, including $83 million, $66 million, $50 million, $43 million and $30 million of required payments in each of the next five years. Additionally, amounts for working capital is typically seasonal withreal estate taxes, sales tax, insurance, other operating expenses and contingent rent applicable to the greatest requirements generallyproperties pursuant to the respective operating leases are required to be paid in the fall and spring of each year. Our capital needs will depend on many factors including our growth rate,future, but the need to finance inventory levels and the success of our various products. We anticipate that at the maturity of the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement or as otherwise deemed appropriate, we will be able to refinance the facility or obtain other financing on terms availableamounts payable in future periods are, in most cases, not quantified in the market at that time. The terms of any future financing arrangementslease agreement or are dependent on factors which may not be known at this time. Such amounts incurred in Fiscal 2022 totaled $43 million.
Refer to Note 1 and Note 6 of our consolidated financial statements for additional disclosures about our operating lease agreements and related commitments.
Capital Expenditures:
Our anticipated capital expenditures for Fiscal 2023 are expected to be approximately $90 million, as favorablecompared to $47 million in Fiscal 2022. The planned increase is primarily due to increased investment in our various technology systems initiatives, the commencement of a significant multi-year project at our Lyons, Georgia distribution center to modernize the operations into a more efficient e-commerce distribution center for our brands, increased Marlin Bar openings, the addition of Johnny Was, which is increasing its store count by 10 or more stores this year and increases in store openings in our other brands. Our capital expenditure amounts in future years will fluctuate from the amounts incurred in prior years depending on the investments we believe appropriate for that year to support future expansion of our businesses.
Dividends:
On March 21, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of $0.65 per share payable on April 28, 2023 to shareholders of record as the terms of the current agreement or current market terms.
Although we have paid dividends in each quarter since we became a public company in July 1960. However,1960, including $35 million in total, or $2.20 per common share, in Fiscal 2022, we may discontinue or modify dividend payments at any time if we determine that other uses of our capital, including payment of outstanding debt, funding of acquisitions, funding of capital expenditures or repurchases of outstanding shares, may be in our best interest; if our expectations of future cash flows and future cash needs outweigh the ability to pay a dividend; or if the terms of our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement,credit facility, other debt instruments or applicable law limit our ability to pay dividends. We may borrow to fund dividends or repurchase shares in the short term based on our expectation of operating cash flows in future periods subject to the terms and conditions of the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement,our credit facility, other debt instruments and applicable law. All cash flow from operations will not be paid out as dividends in all periods.dividends. For details about limitations on our ability to pay dividends, see the discussion of theour U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement above.above and in Note 5 of our consolidated financial statements contained in this report.
Share Repurchases:
As disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2021, and in subsequent filings, on December 7, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized us to spend up to $150 million to repurchase shares of our stock. This authorization superseded and replaced all previous authorizations to repurchase shares of our stock and has no automatic expiration. Pursuant to the Board of Directors’ authorization, we entered into a $100 million open market stock repurchase program (Rule 10b5-1 plan) to acquire shares of our stock, under which we repurchased shares of our stock totaling: (1) $8 million in the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2021, (2) $43 million in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2022, (3) $30 million in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2022, (4) $14 million in the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2022, and (5) $5 million in the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2022, which completed the purchases pursuant to the open market stock repurchase
65
program. Over the life of the $100 million open market repurchase program we repurchased 1.1 million, or 6% of our contractual cash obligations,outstanding shares at the commencement of the program for an average price of $90 per share.
After considering the repurchases during Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2022, as of January 28, 2017, by future period (in thousands):

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP in a consistent manner. The preparation of these financial statements requires the selection and application of accounting policies. Further, the application of GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those discussed below. We base our estimates on historical experience, current trends and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe it is possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same set of facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts. We believe that we have appropriately applied our critical accounting policies. However, in the event that inappropriate assumptions or methods were used relating to the critical accounting policies, below, our consolidated statements of operations could be materially misstated.
A detailed summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 toof our consolidated financial statements contained in this report. The following is a brief discussion of the more significant estimates, assumptions and judgments we use or the amounts most sensitive to change from outside factors.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
Our revenue consists of direct to consumer sales, which includesincluding our retail store, e-commerce and restaurantfood and beverage operations, and wholesale sales, as well as wholesale sales. We consider revenue realized or realizable and earned when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, (2) delivery has occurred, (3) our price to the buyerroyalty income, which is fixed or determinable and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured.
In our direct to consumer operations, which represented 80% of original purchase by the consumer, we mustour consolidated net sales in Fiscal 2022, consumers have certain rights to return product within a specified period and are eligible for certain point of sale discounts. We make estimates of reserves for products which were sold prior to the balance sheet date but that we anticipate may be returned by the consumer subsequent to that date. The determination of direct to consumer return reserve amounts requires judgment and consideration of historical and current trends, evaluation of current economic trends and other factors. Our historical estimates of direct to consumer return reserves have not differed materially from actual results. As of January 28, 2017,2023, our direct to consumer return reserve liability was $3.0 million.$12 million compared to $11 million as of January 29, 2022. A 10% change in the direct to consumer sales return reserve as of January 28, 20172023 would have had a $0.3an impact of less than $1 million pre-tax impact on net earnings in Fiscal 2016.
In the ordinary course of our wholesale receiveables,operations, we offer discounts, allowances and cooperative advertising support to some of our wholesale accounts for certain products. As certain allowances, other deductions and returns are not finalized until the end of a season, program or other event which may not have occurred yet, we estimate such discounts, allowances and returns on an ongoing basis to estimate the consideration from the customer that we expect to
66
ultimately receive. Significant considerations in determining our estimates for these amounts for wholesale customers may include historical and current trends, agreements with customers, projected seasonal or program results, an evaluation of current economic conditions, specific program or product expectations and retailer performance. As of January 28, 2023, our total reserves for discounts, returns and allowances for our wholesale businesses were $4 million compared to $3 million as of January 29, 2022. If these allowances changed by 10% it would have had an impact of less than $1 million on net earnings in Fiscal 2022.
We extend credit to certain wholesale customers based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial capacity and condition, usually without requiring collateral. We recognize estimated reservesprovisions for bad debtscredit losses based on our historical collection experience, the financial condition of our customers, an evaluation of current economic conditions, and anticipated trends, and the risk characteristics of the receivables, each of which is subjective and requires certain assumptions. Actual charges for uncollectible amounts have not differed materially from our estimates in prior periods. As of both January 28, 2017,2023 and January 29, 2022, our allowanceprovision for doubtful accountscredit losses for our wholesale receivables was $0.8 million, and therefore, if$1 million. If the allowanceprovision for doubtful accountscredit losses changed by 10% it would have had a pre-taxan impact of $0.1less than $1 million on net earnings in Fiscal 2016. While the amounts deemed uncollectible have not been significant in recent years if, in the future, amounts due from significant customer(s) were deemed to be uncollectible as a result of events that occur subsequent to January 28, 2017 this could result in a material charge to our consolidated statements of operations in future periods.
Inventories, net
For operating group reporting, our inventory is carried at the lower of the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method(“FIFO”) cost or market. We continually evaluate the composition of our inventories substantially all of which is finished goods inventory, for identification of distressed inventory. In performing this evaluation we consider slow-turning products, an indication of lack of consumer acceptance of particular products, prior seasons' fashion products and current levels of replenishment program products as compared to future sales estimates.inventory at least quarterly. We estimate the amount of goods that we will not be able to sell in the normal course of business and write down the value of these goods as necessary. As the amount to be ultimately realized for the goods is not necessarily known at period end, we must utilizeuse certain assumptions considering historical experience, inventory quantity, quality, age and mix, historical sales trends, future sales projections, consumer and retailer preferences, market trends, general economic conditions and our anticipated plans to sell the inventory. Also, we provide an allowance for shrinkage, as appropriate, for the period between the last count and each balance sheet date. Historically, our estimates of inventory markdowns and inventory shrinkage have not varied significantly from actual results.
For consolidated financial reporting, $133.8$204 million, or 94%93%, of our inventories arewere valued at the lower of the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method(“LIFO”) cost or market after deducting the $58.1$76 million LIFO reserve as of January 28, 2017.2023. The remaining $8.4$16 million of our inventories arewere valued at the lower of FIFO cost or market as of January 28, 2017.2023. LIFO reserves are based on the Producer Price Index (PPI)(“PPI”) as published by the United States Department of Labor. We write down inventories valued at the lower of LIFO cost or market when LIFO cost exceeds market value. We deem LIFO accounting adjustments to not only include changes in the LIFO reserve, but also changes in markdown reserves which are considered in LIFO accounting. As our LIFO inventory pool does not correspond to our operating group definitions, LIFO inventory accounting adjustments are not
As of January 28, 2017,2023, we had recorded a reserve of $2.2$4 million related to inventory on the lower of FIFO cost or market method and for inventory on the lower of LIFO cost or market method with markdowns in excess of our LIFO reserve. A 10% change in the amount of such markdowns would have a pre-taxhad an impact of $0.2less than $1 million on net earnings in Fiscal 2016.2022. A change in the markdowns of our inventory valued at the lower of LIFO cost or market method that is not marked down in excess of our LIFO reserve typically would not be expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. A change in inventory levels, the mix of inventory by category or the mix by inventory category,PPI at the end of future fiscal years compared to inventory balancesamounts as of January 28, 20172023 could result in a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as such a change may erode portions of our earlier base year layers for purposes of making our annual LIFO computation. Additionally, a change in the PPI as published by the United States Department of Labor as compared to the indexes as of January 28, 2017 could result in a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as inflation or deflation would change the amount of our LIFO reserve.
Given the significant amount of uncertaintiesuncertainty surrounding the year-end LIFO calculation, including the estimate of year-end inventory balances, the proportion of inventory in each inventory category and the year-end PPI, we have not typically do not adjustadjusted our LIFO reserve in the first three quarters of a fiscal year. ThisHowever, due to the significant levels of inflation throughout Fiscal 2022, we did recognize an adjustment to the LIFO reserve in each quarter of Fiscal 2022. Our policy of typically not adjusting the LIFO reserve at interim periods may result in significant LIFO accounting adjustments in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year resulting from the year over year changes in inventory levels, the PPI and markdown reserves.year. We do recognize on a quarterly basischanges in markdown reserves during each of the first three quartersquarter of the fiscal year changes in markdown reserves as those amounts can be estimated on a quarterlyan interim basis.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, net
The cost of each acquired business is allocated to the individual tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed or incurred as a result of thean acquisition based on their estimated fair values. The assessment of the estimated fair values of assets and liabilities acquired requires us to make certain assumptions regarding the useabout a number of the acquired assets, anticipated cash flows, probabilities of cash flows, discount rates and otheruncertain factors. In most of our acquisitions, significantOur intangible assets and goodwill were acquired resulting in $175.2 million of intangible assets and $60.0 million of goodwill in our consolidated balance sheet as of January 28, 2017.

rights. Goodwill is recognized as the amount by which the cost to acquire a company or group of assetsbusiness exceeds the fair value of assets acquired less any liabilities assumed at acquisition. See Note 4 in our consolidated financial statements included in this report for further details about our various intangible assets and goodwill amounts.
The fair values and useful lives of theseour acquired intangible assets and goodwill are estimated based on our assessment as well as independent third party appraisals, in some cases. Such valuations, whichAt acquisition, as well as any subsequent impairment tests, assumptions and estimates about various items with significant uncertainty are dependent upon a number of uncertain factors, may include a discounted cash flow analysis of anticipated revenues and expenses or cost savings resulting fromrequired to determine the acquired intangible asset using an estimate of a risk-adjusted market-based cost of capital as the discount rate. The valuationfair value of intangible assets and goodwill requiresgoodwill. When determining the fair value, significant judgment due to the variety of uncertain factors, includingassumptions may include our planned use of the intangible assetsasset as well as estimates of net sales, royalty income, operating income, growth rates, royalty rates for the trademarks, a risk-adjusted market based cost of capital as the discount rates and income tax rates, among other factors. Our fair value assessment may also consider any comparable market transactions. The use of different assumptions related to these uncertain factors at acquisition could result in a material change to the amounts of intangible assets and goodwill initially recorded at acquisition, which could result in a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Trademarks with indefinite lives, which totaled $225 million as of January 28, 2023, and goodwill, which totaled $120 million as of January 28, 2023, are not amortized but instead evaluated, either qualitatively or quantitatively, for impairment annually as of the first day of theour fourth quarter, of our fiscal year or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the intangible asset or goodwill might be impaired. The evaluationassessment of the recoverabilityfair value of trademarks with indefinite lives and goodwill often includes valuationsassessments based on a discounted cash flow analysis. This analysis which is typically
If our operating results, plans for the acquired business and/or macroeconomic conditions, anticipated results or other assumptions change after an acquisition, it could result in the impairment of the acquired assets. Aintangible assets or goodwill. Also, a change in macroeconomic conditions may not only impact the estimated operating cash flows used in our cash flow models but may also impact other assumptions used in our analysis, including but not limited to, the risk-adjusted market-based cost of capital and/or discount rates. Additionally,
During Fiscal 2020, we are requiredrecognized impairment charges for goodwill and intangible assets of Southern Tide of $60 million, resulting in the impairment of all goodwill for Southern Tide and the majority of the indefinite-lived intangible assets for Southern Tide. As noted above, the use of different assumptions related to ensure that assumptions used to determinethe estimated fair value in our analyses are consistent withof the assumptions a hypothetical market participant would use. Therefore the cost of capital discount rates used in our analyses may increase or decrease based on market conditions and trends regardless of whether our actual cost of capital changed. As we acquired Southern Tide amounts could have resulted in Fiscal 2016a different fair value and recorded a significant amount of intangible assets and goodwill related to this acquisition the assets recognized are more sensitive to changesdifferent impairment charge or charges in assumptions than our other intangible assets and goodwill amounts.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill that have been recently acquired or impaired are typically much more sensitive to changes in assumptions than other intangible asset and goodwill amounts as those amounts have recently been recorded at or adjusted to fair value. Accordingly, the $78 million of indefinite-lived trademarks and $97 million of goodwill associated with Johnny Was, which was acquired in Fiscal 2023, have the least excess of fair value over book value as of January 28, 2023. Thus, if the Johnny Was business does not achieve the anticipated growth and operating income in future years or if interest rates or tax rates increase, the Johnny Was intangible assets and/or goodwill could be determined to be impaired in the future.
Intangible assets with finite lives totaled $58 million as of January 28, 2023 and primarily consist of customer relationships, certain trademarks and reacquired rights. These assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment periodically if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the assets are determined to not be recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis and the expected future discounted cash flows of the asset group are less than the carrying amount, an asset group is impaired and a loss is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group exceeds its fair value.

Other Fair Value Measurements
For many assets and liabilities, the determination of fair value may not require the use of many assumptions or other estimates. However, in some cases the assumptions or inputs associated with the determination of fair value as of a measurement date may require the use of many assumptions andwhich may be internally derived or otherwise unobservable. These assumptions may include the planned use of the assets, anticipated cash flows, probabilities of cash flows, discount rates and other factors. We utilizeuse certain market-based and internally derived information and make assumptions about the information in (1) determining the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired as part of a business combination, as well asincluding the acquisition of Johnny Was in other circumstances,Fiscal 2022, (2) adjusting previously recordedrecognized assets and liabilities to fair value at each balance sheet date, including the fair value of any contingent consideration obligations and any lease loss obligations incurred, and(3) assessing recognized assets for impairment, including intangible assets, goodwill and other non-current assets.
From time to time, we may recognize asset impairment or other charges related to certain lease assets, property and equipment as discussed above.
In connection with certain acquisitions, including the acquisition of TBBC in 2017, we have entered into contingent consideration arrangements, which are recognized at fair value at acquisition and each subsequent balance sheet date, to compensate the sellers if certain targets are achieved. For aThe valuation of these contingent consideration arrangement, if any, as of the date of acquisition we must determine the fair value of the contingent consideration which would estimate the discounted fair value of any expected
Income Taxes
Income taxes included in our consolidated financial statements includedare determined using the asset and liability method, in this reportwhich income taxes are recognized based on amounts of income tax payable or refundable in the current year as well as the impact of any items that are recognized in different periods for further discussionconsolidated financial statement reporting purposes and tax return reporting purposes. Significant judgment is required in determining our income tax provision as there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain and tax laws and regulations are often complex and subject to interpretation and judgment. These uncertainties relate to the recognition or changes to the realizability of discontinued operations and the related lease obligations.
The use of recent operations. Valuation allowances are established when we determine that it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Refer to Note 1 inof our consolidated financial statements included in this report for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB that we have not yet adopted that are expected to possiblymay have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.flows in the future.
SEASONALITY
Each of our operating groups is impacted by seasonality as the demand by specific product or style, as well as by distribution channel, may vary significantly depending on the time of year. For information regarding the impact of seasonality impact on individual operating groups and for our total company,business operations, see Part I, Item 1, Business, included in this report.
Item 7A.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market RiskWe are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of business from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. In recent years, we have not used financial instruments to mitigate our exposure to these risks, and we do not use financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. However, we could use financial instruments to mitigate our exposure to these risks in the future.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on our indebtedness,U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement when we have any borrowings outstanding, which could impact our financial condition and results of operations in future periods. We may attempt to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flow, primarily through a mix of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt, although at times all of our debt may be either variable-rate or fixed-rate debt. Further at times, we may enter into interest rate swap arrangements related to certain of our variable-rate debt in order to fix the interest rate if we determine that our exposure to interest rate changes is higher than optimal. Our assessment also considers our need for flexibility in our borrowing arrangements resulting from the seasonality of our business, anticipated future cash flows and our expectations about the risk of future interest rate changes, among other factors. We continuously monitor interest rates to consider the sources and terms of our borrowing facilities in order to determine whether we have achieved our interest rate management objectives. We do not enter into debt agreements or interest rate hedging transactions on a speculative basis.
As of January 28, 2023, we had $119 million of borrowings outstanding under our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement, after borrowing amounts to fund the Johnny Was acquisition in September 2022. We do not consider that amount to necessarily be indicative of the average borrowings outstanding expected for Fiscal 2016,2023 due to our expectation that we will reduce debt levels during Fiscal 2023, particularly after the first quarter. Our expected cash flows from operations is expected to be sufficient to fund our planned capital expenditures and dividends as well as allow for the repayment of some of our outstanding debt in Fiscal 2023. As of March 24, 2023, the weighted average interest expenserate on our borrowings was $3.4 million. Based6%, which includes borrowings pursuant to arrangements based on the average amountTerm Secured Overnight Financing Rate or the lender’s prime rate plus an applicable margin. Using the $119 million of variable-rate debt outstanding in Fiscal 2016,as of January 28, 2023 as an example, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have increased ourincrease interest expense by $1.0less than $1 million. To the extent that the amounts outstanding under our variable-rate lines of credit increase or decrease, our
Foreign Currency Risk
We have exposure to foreign currency exchange rate changes in interest rates would also change.
With 97% of increasing our cost of goods soldconsolidated net sales in the future even though our inventory is purchased on a United States, dollar arrangement. Additionally, to the extent that the exchange rate between the United States dollar and the currency that the inventory will be sold in (e.g. the Canadian dollar, Australian dollar or Japanese Yen) changes, the gross margins of those businesses could be impacted significantly, particularly if we are not able to increase sales prices to our customers.
Commodity and Inflation Risk
We are affected by inflation and changing prices through the purchase of full-package finished goods from contract manufacturers,suppliers, who manufacture products consisting of various raw material components.components, including fabrics made of cotton, silk, linen, nylon, leather, tencel and other natural and man-made fibers, or blends of two or more of these materials. Inflation/deflation risks are managed by each operating group, through, when possible, through negotiating product prices in advance, selective price increases productivity improvements and cost containment initiatives. We have not historically entered into significant long-term sales or purchase contracts or engaged in hedging activities with respect to our commodity risk.risks.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
January 28, 2017
Note 1. Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business Activity
We are a globalleading branded apparel company that designs, sources, markets and distributes products bearing the trademarks of our Tommy Bahama®, Lilly Pulitzer®, Johnny Was®, Southern Tide®, The Beaufort Bonnet Company® and Southern Tide®Duck Head® lifestyle brands, other owned brands and licensed brands as well as private label apparel products.brands. We distribute our owned lifestyle branded products through our direct to consumer channel,channels, consisting of our brand specific full-price retail stores, e-commerce websites and e-commerce sites,outlet stores, and our wholesale distribution channel, which includes sales to various specialty stores, Signature Stores, better department stores, multi-branded e-commerce websites and specialty stores.other retailers. Additionally, we operate Tommy Bahama food and beverage locations, including Marlin Bars and full-service restaurants, generally adjacent to selecteda Tommy Bahama full-price retail stores. Our brandedstore.
On September 19, 2022, we acquired the Johnny Was lifestyle apparel brand and private label apparel products ofits related assets and operations, which is discussed in further detail in Note 12. Also, in Fiscal 2021, we exited our Lanier Apparel are distributed through department stores, national chains, warehouse clubs, specialty stores, specialty catalogs and internet retailers.
Recent Macroeconomic Conditions
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant effect on overall economic conditions and our operations in recent years and accelerated or exacerbated many of the changes in the industry. In Fiscal 2021, the economic environment improved significantly with a rebound in retail traffic starting in March 2021 and other improvements as the year progressed, although certain stores were closed for portions of Fiscal 2021, particularly in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2021. This exceptionally strong consumer demand, along with the strength of our brands, resulted in record earnings for us during both Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2022. The strong earnings in recent periods are despite certain challenges in the retail apparel market, including labor shortages, supply chain disruptions and product and operating cost increases in Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2022. We, as well as others in our industry, have increased prices to attempt to offset inflationary pressures.
Further, negative economic conditions often have a longer and more severe impact on the apparel industry than on other industries due, in part, to apparel purchases often being more of a discretionary purchase. The current macroenvironment, with heightened concerns about inflation, a global economic recession, geopolitical issues, the stability of the U.S. banking system, the availability and cost of credit and continued increases in interest rates, is creating a complex and challenging retail environment, which may impact our businesses and exacerbate some of the inherent challenges to our operations. There remains significant uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment, and the impact of these and other factors could have a major effect on our businesses.
Fiscal Year
We operate and report on a 52/53 week53-week fiscal year. Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31.31 and is designated by the calendar year in which the fiscal year commences. As used in our consolidated financial statements, the terms Fiscal 2014,2020, Fiscal 2015,2021, Fiscal 20162022 and Fiscal 20172023 reflect the
Principles of Consolidation
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oxford Industries, Inc. and any other entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, including our wholly-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries, or variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary, if any. Generally, we consolidate businesses that in which
76
we controlhave a controlling financial interest which may be evidenced through ownership of a majority voting interest. However, there are situations in which consolidation is required even though the usual condition of consolidation (ownership of a majority voting interest) does not apply. In determining whether a controlling financial interest exists, we consider ownership of voting interests, as well asor other rights of the investors which might indicate which investor isthat we are the primary beneficiary.beneficiary of the entity. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity'sentity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity. The results of operations of acquired businesses are included in our consolidated statements of operations from the respective dates of the acquisitions.
Business Combinations
The cost of each acquired business is allocated to the individual tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed or incurred as a result of an acquisition based on their estimated fair values.values pursuant to the acquisition method of accounting. The assessment of the estimated fair values of assets and liabilities acquired requires us to make certain assumptions regarding the use of the acquired assets, anticipated cash flows, probabilities of cash flows, discount rates and other factors. Thefactors, many of which involve a significant amount of uncertainty. Additionally, the definition of fair value of inventories acquired as part of a business combination generally will equal the expected sales price less certain costs associated with selling the inventory, which may exceed the actual cost of the acquired inventories, resulting in an inventory step-up to fair value at acquisition, which would be recognized in our consolidated statements of operations as the acquired inventory is sold.
Our estimates of the purchase price allocation of a business combination may be revised during an allocationa measurement period as necessary when, and if, information becomes available to revise the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Actual fair values ultimately assigned to the acquired assets and liabilities when final information is available may materially differ from our preliminary estimates during the measurement period. The allocation period willmay not exceed
Refer to Note 12 for additional disclosuresinformation related to business combinations.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
Our revenue consists of direct to consumer sales, including our retail store, e-commerce and food and beverage operations, and wholesale sales, as well as royalty income, which is included in royalties and other income in our consolidated statements of operations. Revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received for those goods and services pursuant to a five-step approach: (1) identify the contracts with the customer; (2) identify the separate performance obligations in the contracts; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to separate performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, each performance obligation is satisfied. The table below quantifies the amount of net sales by distribution channel (in thousands) for each period presented.

We recognize revenue when performance obligations under the terms of the contracts with our customers are satisfied, which generally occurs when we deliver our products to our direct to consumer and wholesale customers. Control of the product is generally transferred upon providing the product to consumers in our bricks and mortar retail stores and food and beverage locations, upon physical delivery of the products to consumers in our e-commerce operations and upon shipment from our distribution center to customers in our wholesale operations. Once control is transferred to the customer, we have completed our performance obligations related to the contract and have an unconditional right to consideration for the products sold as outlined in the contract. Our receivables resulting from contracts with customers in our direct to consumer operations are generally collected within a few days, upon settlement of the credit card transaction, while our receivables resulting from contracts with our customers in our wholesale operations are generally due within one quarter, in accordance with established credit terms. All of our performance obligations under the terms of our contracts with customers in our direct to consumer and wholesale operations have an expected original duration of one year or less. We only recognize revenue to the extent that it is probable that we will not have a significant reversal of revenue in a future period. Our revenue, including any freight income, is recognized net of applicable taxes in our consolidated statements of operations, consists ofoperations.
In our direct to consumer sales, which includeoperations, consumers have certain rights to return product within a specified period and are eligible for certain point of sale discounts; thus retail store, e-commerce and restaurantfood and sales, and wholesale sales. We consider revenue realized or realizable and earned when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, (2) delivery has occurred, (3) our price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured.
In the ordinary course of our wholesale operations, we consider a submitted purchase order oroffer discounts, allowances and cooperative advertising support to some form of electronic communication from the customer requesting shipment of the goods to be persuasive evidence of an agreement. For substantially all of our wholesale sales, our productscustomers for certain products. Some of these arrangements are considered sold and delivered atwritten agreements, while others may be implied by customary practices or expectations in the time of shipment. For certain transactions in which the goods do not pass through our owned or third party distribution centers and title and the risks and rewards of ownership pass at the time the goods leave the foreign port, revenue is recognized at that time.
We extend credit to certain wholesale customers based on an evaluation of the customer'scustomer’s financial capacity and condition, usually without requiring collateral. In circumstances where we become aware of a specific wholesale customer'scustomer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserveprovision for bad debtcredit losses is taken as a reduction to accounts receivable to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected. Such amounts are ultimately written off at the time that the amounts are not considered collectible. For all otherour wholesale customers,customer receivable amounts not specifically provided for, we recognize estimated reservesprovisions for bad debtscredit losses, using the current expected loss model based on our historical collection experience, the financial condition of our customers, an evaluation of current economic conditions, and anticipated trends eachand the risk characteristics of the receivables. Provisions for credit loss expense, which is subjective and requires certain assumptions. We include such charges and write-offsincluded in SG&A in our consolidated statements of operations, for Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021 and asFiscal 2020 were a reduction tocredit of less than $1 million, a credit of $1 million and a charge of $4 million, respectively,

As of both January 28, 2023 and January 29, 2022, receivables, net in our consolidated balance sheets. Assheet included a provision for credit losses related to trade receivables of $1 million.
In addition to trade receivables, tenant allowances due from landlord of $2 million and $1 million are included in receivables, net in our consolidated balance sheet, as of January 28, 20172023 and January 30, 2016, bad debt reserve balances were $0.829, 2022, respectively. Substantially all other amounts recognized in receivables, net represent trade receivables related to contracts with customers, including receivables from wholesale customers, credit card receivables related to our direct to consumer operations, and receivables from licensing partners. As of both January 28, 2023 and January 29, 2022, prepaid expenses and other current assets included $4 million representing the estimated value of inventory for expected direct to consumer and $0.5 million, respectively.
In addition to our estimated expected return amounts, contract liabilities related to contracts with our customers include gift cards and merchandise credits issued by us as well as unredeemed loyalty program award points. Gift cards and merchandise credits issued by us are redeemable on demand by the holder, do not have an expiration date and do not incur administrative fees. Historically, substantially all gift cards and merchandise credits are redeemed within one year of issuance. Gift cards and merchandise credits are recorded as a liability until they areour performance obligation is satisfied, which occurs when redeemed by the consumer, at which point revenue is recognized. WeHowever, we recognize estimated breakage income for certain gift cards and merchandise credits using the redemption recognition method, subject to applicable laws in certain states, using the redemption recognition method or in some cases when we determine that the likelihood of the redemption of the gift cards and merchandise credits is remote. Deferred revenuestates. Contract liabilities for gift cards purchased by consumers and merchandise credits received by customers but not yet redeemed, less any breakage income recognized to date, is included in other accrued expenses and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets and totaled $9.5$19 million and $8.5$16 million as of January 28, 20172023 and January 30, 2016,29, 2022, respectively. Gift card breakage income, which was not material in any period presented, is included in net sales in our consolidated statements of operations.
In Fiscal 2021, each of our brands in our Emerging Brands operating group initiated brand specific loyalty award programs. These programs allow consumers to earn loyalty points associated with the brand. These programs are primarily spend-based loyalty programs, with varying terms and conditions for each respective brand’s program. The consumer earns points which, depending on the program, allows the consumer to (1) achieve a specified status with the brand, which provides the consumer with benefits, such as early access to events, free shipping or other benefits, for a specified period, and/or (2) earn a monetary reward by accumulating loyalty points that can be redeemed in association with future purchases from the brand. As loyalty points are earned, we defer revenue, based on the estimated fair value of the loyalty points, with a corresponding liability in accrued expenses and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The loyalty points liability is generally recognized as revenue when the loyalty points are redeemed or expire. Deferred revenue associated with the loyalty programs totaled $1 million as of both January 28, 2023 and January 29, 2022.
Royalties from the license of our owned brands whichare recognized over the time that licensees are provided access to utilize our trademarks (i.e. symbolic intellectual property) and benefit from such access through their sales of licensed products.

Short-Term Investments
As of January 28, 2023 and January 29, 2022, we had $0 million and $165 million, respectively, of short-term investments on our consolidated balance sheet, generally consisting of highly liquid corporate and U.S. Treasury securities, which were expected to be liquidated within one year. We classify these short-term investments as trading securities, and accordingly, the investments are recorded at fair value, based on Level 1 measurements, with the gains or losses recognized in our consolidated statements of operations in royalties and other income.
Inventories, net
Substantially all of our inventories are finished goods inventories of apparel, accessories footwear and other related products. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.
For operating group reporting, inventory is carried at the lower of FIFO cost or market. We continually evaluate the composition of our inventories for identification of distressed inventory.inventory at least quarterly. In performing this evaluation, we consider slow-turning products, an indication of lack of consumer acceptance of particular products, prior-seasons'prior-seasons’ fashion products, broken assortments, discontinued products and current levels of replenishment program products as compared to expected sales. We estimate the amount of goods that we will not be able to sell in the normal course of business and write down the value of these goods as necessary. Asnecessary based on various assumptions about the amountamounts we ultimately expect to be ultimately realizedrealize for the goods is not necessarily known at period end, we must utilize certain assumptions considering historical experience, inventory quantity, quality, age and mix, historical sales trends, future sales projections, consumer and retailer preferences, market trends, general economic conditions and our plans to sell the inventory.inventories. Also, we provide an allowance for shrinkage, as appropriate, for the period between the last physical inventory count and each balance sheet date.
For consolidated financial reporting, as of January 28, 20172023 and January 30, 2016, $133.829, 2022, $204 million, or 94%93%, and $120.9$103 million, or 94%88%, respectively, of our inventories were valued at the lower of LIFO cost or market after deducting our LIFO accounting reserve. The remaining $8.4$16 million and $8.3$14 million of our inventories were valued at the lower of FIFO cost or market as of January 28, 20172023 and January 30, 2016,29, 2022, respectively. Generally, for consolidated financial reporting, inventories of our domestic operations are valued at the lower of LIFO cost or market, and our inventories of our international operations are valued at the lower of FIFO cost or market. Our LIFO reserves are based on the estimated Producer Price Index as published by the United States Department of Labor. We write down inventories valued at the lower of LIFO cost or market when LIFO cost exceeds market value. We deem LIFO accounting adjustments to not only include changes in the LIFO reserve, but also includes changes in markdown reserves which are considered in LIFO accounting.reserves. As our LIFO inventory pool does not correspond to our operating group definitions, LIFO inventory accounting adjustments are not allocated to the respectiveour operating groups. Thus, the impact of accounting for inventories on the LIFO method is reflected in Corporate and Other for operating group reporting purposes included in Note 2.
There were no material LIFO inventory layer liquidations that had a material impact on our net earnings in Fiscal 2016,2022, Fiscal 20152021 or Fiscal 2014.2020.

Leasehold improvements | Lesser of remaining life of the asset or lease term | |
Furniture, fixtures, equipment and technology | 2 – 15 years | |
Buildings and improvements | 7 – 40 years |
Property and equipment is reviewed periodically for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be recoverable. Events that would typically resultrecoverable, as discussed in such an assessment would include a change in the estimated useful lifeImpairment of the assets, including a change in our plans of the anticipated period of operating a leased retail store or restaurant location, the discontinued use of an assetLong-Lived Assets, other than Goodwill and other factors. This review includes the evaluation of any under-performing stores and assessing the recoverability of the carrying value of the assets related to the store. We calculate the fair value of long-lived assets using the age-life method. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an asset is determined to be impaired and a loss is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.

Intangible Assets net
At acquisition, we estimate and record the fair value of purchased intangible assets, which primarily consist of trademarks, as well as customer relationships and reacquired rights and customer relationships.rights. The fair values and useful lives of these intangible assets are estimated based on our assessment as well as independent third party appraisals in some cases. Such valuations,Additionally, at acquisition we must determine whether the intangible asset has an indefinite or finite life and account for it accordingly. Refer to Note 4 for additional details about intangible assets.
Goodwill is recognized as the amount by which the cost to acquire a business exceeds the fair value of identified tangible and intangible assets acquired, net of assumed liabilities. Thus, the amount of goodwill recognized in connection with a business combination depends on the fair values assigned to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is allocated to the respective reporting unit at the time of acquisition. As of January 28, 2023, substantially all of our goodwill included in our consolidated balance sheet, including the goodwill of Johnny Was, is deductible for income tax purposes. Refer to Note 4 for additional information about our goodwill amounts.
At acquisition, as well as any subsequent impairment tests, assumptions and estimates about various items with significant uncertainty are dependent upon a numberrequired to determine the fair value of uncertain factors,intangible assets and goodwill. When determining the fair value of intangible assets, including trademarks, customer relationships and other items, significant assumptions may include a discounted cash flow analysisour planned use of anticipated revenues and expenses or cost savings resulting from the acquired intangible asset using an estimateas well as estimates of net sales, royalty income, operating income, growth rates, royalty rates for the trademarks, a risk-adjusted, market-basedmarket based cost of capital asfor the discount rate. Any costs associated with extending or renewing recognized intangible assets are generally expensed as incurred.
Intangible assets with indefinite lives, which primarily consistconsists of trademarks, and goodwill are not amortized but instead evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the intangible asset or goodwill might be impaired. The evaluation ofThis analysis is typically similar to the recoverability of trademarks with indefinite lives includes valuations based on a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing the relief from royalty method, among other considerations.

We have a non-qualified deferred compensation plan offered to a select group of highly compensated employees and our non-employee directors. The plan provides participants with the opportunity to defer a portion of their cash compensation in a given plan year, of which a percentage may be matched by us in accordance with the terms of the plan. We make contributions to rabbi trusts or other investments to provide a source of funds for satisfying these deferred compensation liabilities. Investments held for our deferred compensation plan consist of insurance contracts and are recorded based on valuations which generally incorporate unobservable factors.

Equity Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
We account for equity investments in which we exercise significant influence, but do not control via voting rights and were determined to not be the primary beneficiary of, using the equity method of accounting. Generally, we determine that we exercise significant influence over a corporation or a limited liability company when we own 20% or more or 3% or more, respectively, of the voting interests, unless the facts and circumstances of that investment indicate that we do not have the ability to exhibit significant influence. Under the equity method of accounting, original investments are recorded at cost, and are subsequently adjusted for our contributions to, distributions from and share of income or losses of the entity. We account for equity investments in which we do not control or exercise significant influence using the fair value method of accounting unless there is not a readily determinable fair value for the equity investment. If there is no readily determinable fair value for such equity investment, we account for the equity investment using the alternative measurement method of cost adjusted for impairment and any identified observable price changes of the investment.
Equity investments accounted for using the equity method of accounting, fair value method of accounting, or alternative measurement method are included in other non-current assets in our consolidated balance sheets, while the income or loss related to such investments is included in royalties and other operating income in our consolidated statements of operations. During Fiscal 2022, we paid $8 million for equity investments in entities accounted for using the equity method of accounting. During Fiscal 2020, we paid $6 million, in the aggregate, for equity investments in entities accounted for using either the equity method of accounting or the alternative measurement method. These payments in Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2020 are included in other investing activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows.
As of January 28, 2023 and January 29, 2022, our consolidated balance sheet included equity investments accounted for using the equity method of accounting, fair value and alternative measurement method totaling, in the aggregate, $11 million and $3 million, respectively. The equity investments in unconsolidated entities included in our consolidated balance sheet represents substantially all of our exposure or loss related to these investments, as there are no meaningful obligations to fund additional amounts or losses related to these investments. These investments include (1) our minority ownership interest in a property in Indian Wells, California that will be converted into the Tommy
84
Bahama Miramonte Resort and Spa during Fiscal 2023, and (2) our minority ownership interests in smaller apparel lifestyle brands, in which we generally have an ownership interest of approximately 10% as of January 28, 2023. During Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020 we recognized amounts related to these investments in royalties and other income of a loss of $1 million, income of $12 million and a loss of less than $1 million, respectively. In Fiscal 2021, our minority ownership interests in an unconsolidated entity was redeemed upon that entity consummating a change in control transaction, resulting in proceeds to us of $15 million and a gain on sale of $12 million.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, other than Goodwill and Intangible Assets with Indefinite Lives
We assess our long-lived assets other than goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment whenever events indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or asset group may not be fully recoverable. This recoverability and impairment assessment is performed for a specific asset or asset group and includes any property and equipment, operating lease assets, intangible assets with finite lives and other non-current assets included in the asset group. Events that would typically result in such an assessment would include a change in the estimated useful life of the assets, including a change in our plans of the anticipated period of operating a leased direct to consumer location, the decision to vacate a leased space before lease expiration, the abandonment of an asset or other factors. These events may also result in a change in the determination of the assets included in an asset group for impairment testing. To analyze recoverability, we consider undiscounted net future cash flows over the remaining life of the asset or asset group. If the amounts are determined to not be recoverable an impairment is recognized resulting in the write-down of the asset or asset group and a corresponding charge to our consolidated statements of operations. Impairment losses are measured based on the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the assets. For any assets impaired during Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, there was no significant fair value at the date of impairment testing.
During Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, we recognized $1 million, $2 million and $20 million, respectively, of property and equipment impairment charges, which were primarily included in SG&A. During Fiscal 2020, these charges primarily related to a $15 million write-off of previously capitalized costs associated with a Tommy Bahama information technology project that was abandoned in Fiscal 2020, $2 million of charges related to retail store assets due to retail store closures in Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzer, $1 million of charges related to office leasehold improvements resulting from the Lanier Apparel exit and $1 million of charges related to office leasehold improvements associated with the 2020 restructuring of Tommy Bahama’s international sourcing operations.
During Fiscal 2022, we did not recognize any operating lease asset impairment charges. During Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, we recognized $5 million and $4 million, respectively, of operating lease asset impairment charges, which were primarily included in SG&A. During Fiscal 2021, these charges primarily related to our Tommy Bahama New York office and showroom lease, which was vacated in Fiscal 2021 and provides the landlord the ongoing right to terminate the lease. During Fiscal 2020, these charges primarily related to $3 million of charges related to certain office leases resulting from the Lanier Apparel exit and $1 million of charges related to an office lease associated with the 2020 restructuring of Tommy Bahama’s international sourcing operations.
As disclosed in Note 4, we recognized an impairment charge of less than $1 million of an intangible asset with a finite life in Lanier Apparel in Fiscal 2020. No impairment of intangible assets with finite lives was recognized during Fiscal 2022 or Fiscal 2021.
Accounts Payable, Accrued Compensation and Other Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities
Liabilities for accounts payable, accrued compensation and other accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at cost, which reflectsapproximates the fair value of the consideration expected to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to us.us as of the balance sheet date. Accruals for employeemedical insurance and workers'workers’ compensation, which are included in other accrued expenses and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets, include estimated settlements for known claims, as well as accruals for estimates of incurred but not reported claims based on our claims experience and statistical trends.
85
Legal and Other Contingencies
We are subject to certain litigation, claims and assessments in the ordinary course of business. The claims and assessments may relate, among other things, to disputes about trademarks and other intellectual property, employee relations matters, real estate, and contracts, as well as labor, employment, environmental, customs and tax matters.licensing arrangements, importing or exporting regulations, product safety requirements, taxation or other topics. For those matters where it is probable that we have incurred a loss and the loss, or range of loss, can be reasonably estimated, we have recorded reserves in other accrued expenses and other liabilities or other non-current liabilities in our consolidated financial statements for the estimated loss and related expenses, such as legal fees. In other instances, because of the uncertainties related to both the probable outcome or amount or range of loss, we are unable to make a reasonable estimate of a liability, if any, and therefore have not recorded a reserve. As additional information becomes available or as circumstances change, we adjust our assessment and estimates of such liabilities accordingly. Additionally, for any potential gain contingencies, we do not recognize the gain until the period that all contingencies have been resolved and the amounts are realizable. We believe the outcome of outstanding or pending matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, based on information currently available.
In connection with acquisitions, we may enter into contingent consideration arrangements, which provide for the payment of additional purchase price consideration to the sellers if certain performance criteria are achieved during a specified period. We must recognize the fair value of the contingent consideration based on its estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. Such valuation requires assumptions regarding anticipated cash flows, probabilities of cash flows, discount rates and other factors. Each of these assumptions may involve a significant amount of uncertainty. Subsequent to the date of acquisition, we must periodically adjust the liability for the contingent consideration to reflect the fair value of the contingent consideration by reassessing our valuation assumptions as of that date. A change in assumptions related to contingent consideration amounts could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Any change in the fair value of the contingent consideration is recognized in SG&A in our consolidated statements of operations.

Other Non-current Liabilities
Amounts included in other non-current liabilities primarily consist of deferred rentcompensation amounts and amounts related to our operating lease agreements as discussed below and deferred compensation as discussed above.
Leases
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into real estate lease agreements for our direct to consumer locations, which include both retail restaurant,and food and beverage locations, office and warehouse/distribution space, as well as leases for certain equipment. TheOur real estate leases have varying terms and expirations and frequentlymay have provisions to extend, renew or terminate the lease agreement at our discretion, among other provisions. Our real estate lease terms are typically for a period of ten years or less and conditions, as negotiated. We assesstypically require monthly rent payments with specified rent escalations during the lease at inceptionterm. Our real estate leases usually provide for payments of our pro rata share of real estate taxes, insurance and determine whetherother operating expenses applicable to the property, and certain of our leases require payment of sales taxes on rental payments. Also, our direct to consumer location leases often provide for contingent rent payments based on sales if certain sales thresholds are achieved. For many of our real estate lease qualifiesagreements, we obtain lease incentives from the landlord for tenant improvement or other allowances. Our lease agreements do not include any material residual
86
value guarantees or material restrictive financial covenants. Substantially all of our leases are classified as long-term operating leases.
For our leases, we recognize operating lease liabilities equal to our obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases on a capitaldiscounted basis and operating lease assets which represent our right to use, or operating lease. Assets leased under capital leases, if any, andcontrol the relateduse of, a specified asset for a lease term. Operating lease liabilities, which are included in current portion of operating lease liabilities and non-current portion of operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets, are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The significant judgments in propertycalculating the present value of lease obligations include determining the lease term and equipment and long-term debt, respectively. Assets leased underlease payment amounts, which are dependent upon our assessment of the likelihood of exercising any renewal or termination options that are at our discretion, as well as the discount rate applied to the future lease payments. The operating leaseslease assets, which are not recognized asincluded in operating lease assets and liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
Lease expense for operating leases is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, even if there are fixed escalation clauses, lease incentives for rent holidays, or landlord build-out-related allowances, rent expense is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the leaseother similar items from the date that we take possession of the space and does not assume that any termination options included in thespace. Substantially all of our lease will be exercised. The amount by which rents payable under the lease differs from the amount recognized on a straight-line basis is recorded in other non-current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Deferred rent as of January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016 was $57.3 million and $54.6 million, respectively. Contingent rents, including those based on a percentage of retail sales over stated levels, and rental payment increases based on a contingent future event are recognized as the expense is incurred.
We account for the underlying operating lease at the individual lease level. The lease guidance requires us to discount future lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, our estimated incremental borrowing rate. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use an estimated incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the applicable commencement date. Our estimated incremental borrowing rate for a losslease is the rate of interest we estimate we would have to pay on a collateralized basis over the lease term to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments.
During the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020, the FASB provided for an optional practical expedient that simplifies how a lessee accounts for rent concessions that are a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The practical expedient only applies if a lease is modified to allow for a rental concession and (1) the revised consideration is substantially the same as, or less than, the original consideration in the lease agreement, (2) the reduction in lease payments relates to payments due on or before June 30, 2021, and (3) no other substantive changes have been made to the terms of the leases. The practical expedient provides that, if the above conditions are met for the lease termination payment atagreement, the timelessee is not required to assess whether the eligible rent concessions are lease modifications. We have elected to apply the practical expedient for all eligible lease modifications resulting in the rent concession being recorded as an adjustment to variable lease payments and recognized in our consolidated statement of operations in that period. The amounts of concessions recognized immediately in our consolidated statement of operations pursuant to this practical expedient in Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020 was $1 million and $4 million, respectively. For lease modifications that do not meet the criteria for the practical expedient, we account for the amendment and concession as a lease modification requiring lease remeasurement with the concession recognized as a reduction to the operating lease asset and recognized in our consolidated statements of operations over the remaining term of the respective lease agreement. The amount of concessions agreed to in Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020 that were recognized as reductions of the operating lease asset and will be recognized in future periods over the remaining lease term as a reduction to rent expense was $3 million and $4 million, respectively. There were no concession amounts recognized immediately or initially recognized as reductions of the operating lease asset during Fiscal 2022 pursuant to this practical expedient.
87
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk when we generate net sales or incur expenses in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective operations. The resulting assets and liabilities denominated in amounts other than the respective functional currency are re-measured into the respective functional currency at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date, and income and expenses are re-measured at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the relevant period. The impact of any such re-measurement is recognized in our consolidated statements of operations in that period. Net gains (losses)losses (gains) included in our consolidated statements of operations related to foreign currency transactions recognized in Fiscal 2016,2022, Fiscal 20152021 and Fiscal 20142020 were not material to our consolidated financial statements.
Additionally, the financial statements of our operations for which the functional currency is a currency other than the United StatesU.S. dollar are translated into United StatesU.S. dollars at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date for the balance sheet and at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the relevant period for the statements of operations. The impact of such translation is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in our consolidated balance sheets and included in other comprehensive income (loss) in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income resulting in no impact on net earnings for the relevant period.
As of January 28, 2017,2023, our foreign currency exchange risk exposure primarily results from our businesses operating outside of the United States, which are primarily related to (1) our Tommy Bahama operations in Canada Australia and JapanAustralia purchasing goods in United StatesU.S. dollars or other currencies which are not the functional currency of the business and (2) certain other transactions, including intercompany transactions. We mayDuring Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, we did not enter into short-term forward foreign currency exchange contracts in the ordinary course of business to mitigate a portion of the risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations related to purchases of inventory or selling goods in currencies other than the functional currencies by certain of our foreign operations. As of January 28, 2017, weand were not a party to any forward foreign currency exchange contracts.
Interest Rate Risk Management
As all of January 28, 2017,our indebtedness is variable-rate debt, we are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates onrates. If we determine that our variable-rate indebtedness under our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement. Weexposure to interest rate changes is higher than we believe is appropriate, we may attempt to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flow primarily through a mix of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt although at times all of our debt may be either variable-rate or fixed-rate debt. At times we may enterby entering into interest rate swap arrangements related to certainarrangements. Our assessment of our variable-rate debt in order to fix the interest rate if we determine that ourappropriate levels of exposure to changes in interest rate changes is higher than optimal. Our assessmentrates also considers our need for flexibility in our borrowing arrangements resulting from the significant seasonality of our business and cash flows, anticipated future cash flows and our expectations about the risk of future interest rate changes, among other factors. We continuously monitor interest ratesDuring Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, we did not enter into and were not a party to consider the sources and terms of our borrowing facilities in order to determine whether we have achieved our interest rate management objectives. As of January 28, 2017, we do not have any interest rate swap agreements.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value, in accordance with GAAP, is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). These valuation techniques may be based upon either observable andor unobservable inputs.
The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value pursuant to the guidance are as follows:
88
that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities, which includesinclude certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
As of January 28, 2023, our financial instruments consist primarily of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, other current liabilities and debt. Given their short-term nature, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables,
We have determined that our operating lease assets, property and equipment, intangible assets, goodwill and goodwill, for which the book values are disclosedcertain other non-current assets included in Notes 3 and 4,our consolidated balance sheets are non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. We have determined that our approaches for determining fair values of our property and equipment, intangibleeach of these non-current assets and goodwillare generally are based on Level 3 inputs.
In the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020, in determining the $9 million fair value, and resulting carrying value, of the Southern Tide trade name in our interim impairment test, which utilized the relief from royalty valuation method, we used certain Level 3 inputs. The significant unobservable inputs used in determining the fair value of the Southern Tide trade name as of the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020 included: (a) a double-digit percentage decrease in sales for the remainder of Fiscal 2020 as compared to the comparable prior year sales amounts, reflecting the anticipated impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during the remainder of Fiscal 2020; a double-digit percentage increase for sales in Fiscal 2021, reflecting an anticipated partial recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic; and high single-digit percentage growth rates for sales subsequent to Fiscal 2021, with the growth rate in future periods ultimately decreasing to a low single-digit percentage in the long term, and (b) a required rate of return for the intangible asset of 13%.
Equity Compensation
We have certain equity compensation plans as described in Note 7,8, which provide for the ability to grant restricted shares, restricted share units, options and other equity awards to our employees and non-employee directors. We recognize compensation expense related to equity awards to employees and non-employee directors in SG&A in our consolidated statements of operations based on theirthe fair valuesvalue of the awards on the grant date. The fair valuesvalue of restricted sharesshare awards that are service and restricted share unitsperformance-based are determined based on the fair value of our common stock on the grant date, regardless of whether the awards are performance or service based.
For awards with specified service requirements, the fair value of the equity awards granted to employees is recognized over the respectiverequisite service period. For performance-based awards (e.g. awards based on our earnings per share), during the performance period we assess expected performance versus the predetermined performance goals and adjust the cumulative equity compensation expense to reflect the relative expected performance achievement. The equity compensation expensefair value of the performance-based awards, if earned, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the aggregate performance period and any additional required service period. NoFor market-based awards (e.g. TSR-based awards) with specified service requirements that are equal to or longer than the market-based specification period, the fair value of the awards granted to employees is recognized over the requisite service period, regardless of whether, and to the extent to which, the market condition is ultimately satisfied. The impact of stock award forfeitures on compensation expense is recognized at the time of forfeiture as no estimate of future stock award forfeitures areis considered in our calculation of compensation expense as the impactfor our service-based, performance-based or market-based awards.

Dividends
Dividends are accrued at the time declared by our Board of Directors and typically paid within the same fiscal quarter.
Share Repurchases
From time to time, we may repurchase shares of our stock under an open market repurchase program or otherwise. We account for share repurchases for open market transactions by charging the excess of repurchase price over the par value entirely to retained earnings based on the trade settlement date.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
We are exposed to concentrations of credit risk as a result of our receivables balances, for which the total exposure is limited to the amount recognized in our consolidated balance sheets. We sell our merchandise to wholesale customers operating in a number of retail distribution channels in the United States and other countries. We extend credit to certain wholesale customers based on an evaluation of the customer'scustomer’s credit history and financial capacity and condition, usually without requiring collateral. Credit risk is impacted by conditions or occurrences within the economy and the retail industry and is principally dependent on each customer'scustomer’s financial condition. Additionally,As of January 28, 2023, one customer represented 16% and another customer represented 11% of our receivables, net included in our consolidated balance sheet.
No individual customer represented greater than 10% of our consolidated net sales in Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021 or Fiscal 2020. However, a decision by the controlling owner of a group of stores or any significant customer to decrease the amount of merchandise purchased from us or to cease carrying our products could have an adverse effect on our results of operations in future periods. No individual customer represented greater than 10% of our consolidated net sales in Fiscal 2016, Fiscal 2015 or Fiscal 2014. As of January 28, 2017, three customers each represented 13% of our receivables included in our consolidated balance sheet.
Income Taxes
Income taxes included in our consolidated financial statements are determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, income taxes are recognized based on amounts of income taxes payable or refundable in the current year as well as the impact of any items that are recognized in different periods for consolidated financial

statement reporting and tax return reporting purposes. Prepaid income taxes and income taxes payable are recognized in prepaid expenses and other accrued expenses and liabilities, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheets.
As certain amounts are recognized in different periods
We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets areit is more likely than not tothat these assets will be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, taxable income in carrybackany carry-back years, tax-planning strategies, and recent results of recent operations.
Valuation allowances are established when we determine that it is more-likely-than-notmore likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Also, we use a two-step approach for evaluating uncertain tax positions. Under the two-step method, recognition occurs when we conclude that a tax position, based solely on technical merits, is more-likely-than-notmore likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The second step, measurement, is only addressed if step one has been satisfied. The tax benefit recorded is measured as the largest amount of benefit determined on a cumulative probability basis that is more-likely-than-notmore likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Those tax positions failing to qualify for initial recognition are recognized in the first subsequent interim period they meet the more-likely-than-notmore likely than not threshold or are resolved through negotiationsettlement or litigation with the relevant taxing authority, or upon expiration of the statute of limitations.limitations or otherwise. Alternatively, de-recognition of a tax position that was previously recognized occurs when we subsequently determine that a tax position no longer meets the more-likely-than-notmore likely than not threshold of being sustained. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax positions are recorded within income tax expense in our consolidated statements of operations. As of January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016 and during Fiscal 2016, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014, we did not have any material unrecognized tax benefit amounts, including any related potential penalty or interest expense, or material changes in such amounts.
In the case of foreign subsidiaries, there are certain exceptions to the requirement that deferred tax liabilities be recognized for the difference in the financial statement and tax bases of assets. WhenIf we consider the investment to be essentially permanent in duration and the financial statement basis of the investment in a foreign subsidiary, excluding undistributed earnings, exceeds the tax basis in such investment, the deferred tax liability is not recognized if management considers the investment to be essentially permanent in duration.recognized. Further, deferred tax liabilities are not required to be recognized for undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries when management considerswe consider those earnings to be permanently reinvested outside the United States
Additionally, United States astax regulations currently include certain tax provisions including a tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”), disallowance of January 28, 2017deductions for certain payments (the base erosion anti-abuse tax, or “BEAT”) and thereforecertain deductions enacted for certain foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”). While the calculations for GILTI, BEAT and FDII are complex calculations, these provisions did not have not recorded a deferred tax liabilitymaterial impact on these amounts in our consolidated financial statements.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law, with applicable provisions reflected in our financial statements upon enactment. This law included several taxpayer favorable provisions which impacted us, including allowing the carry-back of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
We file income tax returns in the United States and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. Our federal, state, local and foreign income tax returns filed for the years ended on or before February 2, 2013,prior to Fiscal 2019, with limited exceptions, are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic net earnings from continuing operations, net earnings from discontinued operations and net earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the respectivenet earnings amount by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Shares repurchased, if any, are removed from the weighted average number of shares outstanding upon repurchase and delivery.
Diluted net earnings from continuing operations, net earnings from discontinued operations and net earnings per share amounts are calculated similarly to the amounts above, except that the weighted average shares outstanding in the diluted calculationsnet earnings per share calculation also includesinclude the potential dilution using the treasury stock method that could occur if dilutive securities, including restricted share awards options or other dilutive awards, were converted to shares. The treasury stock method assumes that shares are issued for any restricted share awards, options or other dilutive awards that are "in the money," and that we use the proceeds received to repurchase shares at the average market value of our shares for the respective period. For purposes of the treasury stock method, proceeds consist of cash to be paid and future compensation expense to be recognized.
In periods that we incur a loss, we exclude restricted shares or restricted share unit awards as including the awards would be anti-dilutive. During Fiscal 2020, there were 0.4 million restricted shares and restricted share units outstanding that were excluded from the diluted earnings (loss) per share calculation. No restricted shares or restricted share units were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for Fiscal 2022 or Fiscal 2021.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported as assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounting Standards Adopted in Fiscal 2016
No recently issued an update to the accounting guidance on equity compensation with the intent of simplifying and improving the accounting and statement of cash flow presentation for income taxes at settlement, forfeitures, and settlements for withholding taxes. We early adopted this guidance in Fiscal 2016 resulting in no2022 had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements in Fiscal 2016. This guidance was adopted prospectively with no adjustmentsupon adoption or is expected to prior periods. This guidance may have a material impact on our effective tax rate and income tax expense in future periods, depending in part on whether significant restricted stock awards vest and if the priceperiods.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Applicable to Future Years
Recent accounting model for revenue arising from contracts with customers. This guidance has been revised and clarified through various supplementalpronouncements pending adoption guidance subsequentare either not applicable or not expected to May 2014. This new revenue recognition guidance supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance which specifies that revenue is recognized when risks and rewards transfer to a customer. Under the new guidance, revenue will be recognized pursuant to a five-step approach to revenue recognition: (1) identify the contracts with the customer; (2) identify the separate performance obligations in the contracts; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to separate performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, each performance obligation is satisfied. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures about the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flow arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The new guidance is effective for us beginning in Fiscal 2018, and may be applied via the full retrospective method to all prior periods presented or through the modified retrospective method as a cumulative adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance at the date of initial adoption. We have not finalized our determination of our adoption method. We have initiated a review of revenue streams including retail, e-commerce, wholesale and royalty income to evaluate the impact of the adoption of the revised guidance on our consolidated financial statements, but have not completed the assessment of the impact of adopting the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 2. Operating Groups
We identify our operating groups based on the way our management organizes the components of our business for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. Our operating group structure reflects a brand-focused management approach, emphasizing operational coordination and resource allocation across each brand'sbrand’s direct to consumer, wholesale and licensing operations, as applicable.

The Emerging Brands operating group, which was organized in Fiscal 2022, consists of the operations of our smaller, earlier stage Southern Tide, TBBC and Duck Head brands. In prior years, Southern Tide was reported as a separate operating group, while Lanier Apparelboth TBBC and Duck Head were included in Corporate and Other. All prior year amounts have been restated to conform to the current year presentation.

Note 5. Debt
As of January 28, 20172023 and January 29, 2022, we had $119 million and no amounts outstanding, respectively, under our $325 million Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("(as amended, the “U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement”). On March 6, 2023, we amended the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement") comparedAgreement by entering into the Second Amendment to $44.0 million of borrowings outstanding as of January 30, 2016 under our Thirdthe Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Prior Credit Agreement"). On May 24, 2016, the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement amended and restated the Prior Credit Agreement to, (i) increase the borrowing capacity of the facility, (ii)among other things, (1) extend the maturity of the facility from July 2024 to March 2028 and (iii)(2) modify certain other provisions and restrictions of the Prioragreement. Pursuant to the amended agreement, the interest rate applicable to our borrowings under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement. Agreement will be based on either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus an applicable margin of 135 to 185 basis points or prime plus an applicable margin of 35 to 85 basis points.
The U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement generally (i)(1) is limited to a borrowing base consisting of specified percentages of eligible categories of assets, (ii)(2) accrues variable-rate interest (weighted average borrowinginterest rate of 2.3%6% as of January 28, 2017)2023), unused line fees and letter of credit fees based upon average utilization or unused availability, or utilization, (iii)as applicable, (3) requires periodic interest payments with principal due at maturity (May 2021) and (iv)(4) is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Oxford Industries, Inc. and substantially all of its domestic subsidiaries, including accounts receivable, books and records, chattel paper, deposit accounts, equipment, certain general intangibles, inventory, investment property (including the equity interests of certain subsidiaries), negotiable collateral, life insurance policies, supporting obligations, commercial tort claims, cash and cash equivalents, eligible trademarks, proceeds and other personal property.

To the extent cash flow needs in the future exceed cash flow provided by our operations, we will have access, subject to its terms, to our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement to provide funding for operating activities, as well as any capital expenditures, acquisitions, and acquisitions, if any.other investing or financing activities. Our credit facility isU.S. Revolving Credit Agreement may also be used to establish collateral for certain insurance programs and leases and to finance trade letters of credit for certain product purchases, which reduce the amounts available under our line of credit when issued. As of January 28, 2017, $4.72023, $7 million of letters of credit were outstanding againstunder our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement. After considering these limitations and the amount of eligible assets in our borrowing base, as applicable, as of January 28, 2017,2023, we had $185.5$199 million in unused availability under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement, subject to certain limitations on borrowings.
Covenants, Other Restrictions and Prepayment Penalties
The U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement is subject to a number of affirmative covenants regarding the delivery of financial information, compliance with law, maintenance of property, insurance requirements and conduct of business. Also, the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement is subject to certain negative covenants or other restrictions including, among other things, limitations on our ability to (i)(1) incur debt, (ii)(2) guaranty certain obligations, (iii)(3) incur liens, (iv)(4) pay dividends to shareholders, (v)(5) repurchase shares of our common stock, (vi)(6) make investments, (vii)(7) sell assets or stock of subsidiaries, (viii)(8) acquire assets or businesses, (ix)(9) merge or consolidate with other companies or (x)(10) prepay, retire, repurchase or redeem debt.
Additionally, the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant that applies only if excess availability under the agreement for three consecutive business days is less than the greater of (i)
We believe that the affirmative covenants, negative covenants, financial covenants and other restrictions under the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement are customary for those included in similar facilities entered into at the time we entered intoamended the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement. During Fiscal 20162022 and as of January 28, 2017,2023, no financial covenant testing was required pursuant to our U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement or Prior Credit Agreement as the minimum availability threshold was met at all times. As of January 28, 2017,2023, we were compliant with all applicable covenants related to the U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement.

As of January 28, 2023, the required lease liability payments, which include base rent amounts but excludes payments for real estate taxes, sales taxes, insurance, other operating expenses and contingent rents incurred under all leases was $87.8 million, $82.6 million and $72.8 million in Fiscal 2016, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014, respectively. Most of our leases provide for payments of real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses applicable to the property and most of our retail leases also provide for contingent rent based on retail sales. Payments for real estate taxes, insurance, other operating expenses and contingent percentage rent are included in rent expense above, but are generally not included in the aggregate minimum rental commitments below, as, in many cases, the amounts payable in future periods are not quantified in the lease agreement and are dependent on future events. The total amount of such charges included in total rent expense above were $23.9 million, $22.1 million and $19.3 million in Fiscal 2016, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014, respectively, which includes $1.1 million, $1.0 million and $0.9 million of contingent percentage rent during Fiscal 2016, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014, respectively.

Although we have paid dividends in each quarter since we became a public company in July 1960, we may discontinue or modify dividend payments at any time if we determine that other uses of our capital, including payment of outstanding debt, funding of acquisitions, funding of capital expenditures or repurchases of outstanding shares, may be in our best interest; if our expectations of future cash flows and future cash needs outweigh the ability to pay a dividend; or if the terms of our credit facility, other debt instruments or applicable law limit our ability to pay dividends.
Share Repurchases
During Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, we repurchased $92 million, $8 million and $18 million, respectively in open market transactions. Additionally, during Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, we purchased $3 million, $3 million and $2 million, respectively, of shares from our employees to cover employee tax liabilities related to the vesting of shares of our stock.
On December 7, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized us to spend up to $150 million to repurchase shares of our stock in open market transactions. This authorization superseded and replaced all previous authorizations to repurchase shares of our stock and has no automatic expiration. Through January 28, 2023, we repurchased in open market transactions 1.1 million shares of our common stock for $100 million, an average price of $90 per share, pursuant to the Board of Directors’ December 7, 2021 authorization.

The Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan allows us to grant equity-based awards to employees and non-employee directors in the form of, among other things, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares and/or restricted share units.
The specific provisions of restricted share awards are evidenced by agreements with the employee as determined by the compensation committee of our Board of Directors. Restricted shares and restricted share unit awardsunits granted to officers and other key employees in recent years generally vest
In recent years, we have granted a combination of service-based restricted share awards and awards based on total shareholder return (“TSR”) to certain of our employees. As of January 28, 2023, there was $15 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested service-based and TSR-based restricted share awards included in the tables below, which have been granted to employees but have not yet vested. As of January 28, 2023, the weighted average remaining life of the outstanding awards was one year.
Service-Based and Performance-Based Restricted Share Awards

The number of shares ultimately earned, which will be settled in shares of our common stock on the vesting date, subjectwill be between 0% and 200% of the restricted share units at target. These TSR-based restricted share units are entitled to dividend equivalents for dividends declared on our common stock prior to the employee still being an employee at that time.

The non-employee directors must complete certain service requirements; otherwise, the restricted shares are subject to forfeiture. On the date of issuance, the non-employee directors are entitled to the same dividend and voting rights as other holders of our common stock. The non-employee directors are restricted from transferring or selling the restricted shares prior to the end of the vesting period.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
There were 0.4less than 1 million shares of our common stock authorized for issuance under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") as of January 28, 2017.2023. The ESPP allows qualified employees to purchase shares of our common stock on a quarterly basis, based on certain limitations, through payroll deductions. The shares purchased pursuant to the ESPP are not subject to any vesting or other restrictions. On the last day of each calendar quarter, the accumulated payroll deductions are applied toward the purchase of our common stock at a price equal to 85% of the closing market price on that date. Equity compensation expense related to the employee stock purchase plan recognized was $0.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.2less than $1 million in each of Fiscal 2016,2022, Fiscal 20152021 and Fiscal 2014, respectively.

Note 9. Defined Contribution Plans
We have a tax-qualified voluntary defined contribution retirement savings plan covering substantially all full-time United States employees and other similar plans covering certain foreign employees. If aan eligible participant decideselects to contribute, a portion of the contribution ismay be matched by us. Additionally, we incur certain charges related to our non-qualified deferred compensation plan as discussed in Note 1. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on the deferred compensation plan investments are recorded in SG&A in our consolidated statements of operations and substantially offset the changes in deferred compensation liabilities to participants resulting from changes in market values. Our aggregate expense under these defined contribution and non-qualified deferred compensation plans in Fiscal 2016, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014 was $3.5 million, $3.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively.2022,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020 was $5 million, $4 million and $1 million, respectively. The increase in Fiscal 2022 was primarily due to an increase in the company match percentage for our defined contribution plan. The lower amount in Fiscal 2020 was primarily due to the suspension of the company match for our defined contribution plan during Fiscal 2020 to reduce our expenses during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The majority of our valuation allowance of $2 million as of January 28, 2023 relate to our capital loss carry-forwards. As of January 29, 2022, the majority of our valuation allowance of $6 million related to operating loss carry-forwards and deferred tax assets in the jurisdictions with operating losses as well as our capital loss carry-forwards. The positive operating results in Fiscal 2022, as well as the positive net earnings (loss) per share amounts may not equalin the amountsmost recent three-year cumulative period, are considered significant positive evidence about the realizability of our operating loss carry-forwards in certain jurisdictions, and in Fiscal 2022 resulted in the utilization or reversal of the substantial majority of our valuation allowances related to our operating loss carry-forward amounts. The short carry-forward period for the full year duecapital losses, which can only offset qualifying capital gain income, continue to rounding.be considered significant negative evidence against the future realizability of these capital loss tax benefits. The Fourth Quarteramount of Fiscal 2016the valuation allowance could change in the future if our operating results or estimates of future taxable operating results changes.
Certain amounts of foreign earnings are subject to U.S. federal tax currently pursuant to the GILTI rules regardless of whether those earnings are distributed, and Fiscal 2015actual distributions of foreign earnings are generally no longer subject to U.S. federal tax. We continue to assert that our investments in substantially all of our foreign subsidiaries and substantially all of the related earnings are permanently reinvested outside the United States. We believe that any other taxes such as foreign withholding or U.S. state tax payable would be immaterial if we were to repatriate the foreign earnings. Therefore, we have not recorded any deferred tax liabilities related to these foreign investments and earnings in our consolidated balance sheets as of January 28, 2023 and January 29, 2022.
Accounting for income taxes requires that we offset deferred tax liabilities and assets within each tax jurisdiction and present the net deferred tax amount for each jurisdiction as a net deferred tax amount in our consolidated balance sheets.

Approximately $1 million of our uncertain tax positions as of January 28, 2023, if recognized, would reduce the future effective tax rate in the period settled. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits relating to our tax positions is subject to change based on future events including, but not limited to, settlements of ongoing audits and assessments and the expiration of applicable statutes of limitation. We expect that the balance of the gross unrecognized tax benefits may decrease during Fiscal 2023. However, the ultimate occurrence, outcomes, and timing of such events could differ from our current expectations. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax positions are recorded within income tax expense in our consolidated statements of operations. During each of Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, we recognized less than $1 million of interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax positions in our consolidated statements of operations.
Note 11. Lanier Apparel Exit
In Fiscal 2021, we exited our Lanier Apparel business, which had been focused on moderately priced tailored clothing and related products. The Lanier Apparel exit aligns with our stated business strategy of developing and marketing compelling lifestyle brands. It also took into consideration the increased macroeconomic challenges faced by the Lanier Apparel business, many of which were magnified by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In connection with the Fiscal 2020 decision to exit the Lanier Apparel business, we recorded pre-tax charges of $13 million in the Lanier Apparel operating group during Fiscal 2020. These charges consisted of (1) $6 million of estimated inventory markdown charges, the substantial majority of which were reversed in Corporate and Other as part of LIFO accounting as the inventory had not been sold as of January 30, 2021, (2) $3 million of employee charges, including severance and employee retention costs, (3) $3 million of operating lease asset impairment charges for leased office space, (4) $1 million of non-cash fixed asset impairment charges, primarily related to leasehold improvements, and (5) $1 million of charges related to our Merida manufacturing facility, which ceased operations in Fiscal 2020.
During Fiscal 2021, we recognized in the Lanier Apparel operating group a benefit of $2 million related to the Lanier Apparel exit primarily consisting of (1) $4 million of reductions in inventory markdowns previously recognized, of which the substantial majority of this amount was reversed in Corporate and Other as part of LIFO accounting and (2) a $3 million gain on the sale of Lanier Apparel’s Toccoa, Georgia distribution center. These items were partially offset by (1) $2 million of severance and employee retention costs, (2) $2 million of termination charges related to certain license agreements and (3) $1 million of additional charges related to the Merida manufacturing facility.
For each of Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, the estimated inventory markdown charges and manufacturing facility charges are included in cost of goods sold in Lanier Apparel, while the charges for operating lease asset impairments, employee charges, and fixed asset impairments are included in SG&A in Lanier Apparel. The gain on sale of the Toccoa, Georgia distribution center in Fiscal 2021 is included in royalties and other income in Lanier Apparel.
We do not expect to incur any additional Lanier Apparel exit charges. Substantially all of the cumulative accrued employee charges, termination charges related to contractual commitments and charges related to the Merida
106
manufacturing facility have been paid. As of January 28, 2023, future lease amounts totaling $2 million related to the Lanier Apparel office leases that were previously impaired and vacated are expected to be paid through 2024 over the remaining terms of the respective leases, with no other anticipated significant future cash requirements related to the Lanier Apparel business.

| the relief from royalty method and multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach to measure trade names and trademarks and customer relationships, respectively. The fair value measure was sensitive to underlying assumptions including certain assumptions that form the basis of the forecasted results (e.g., future EBITA margins, terminal growth rate, and royalty rate). The significant assumptions are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. |
Fair Value of Intangible Assets Acquired in the Johnny Was Business Combination | |
Description of the Matter How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | As disclosed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company completed the acquisition of JW Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries (Johnny Was) on September 19, 2022 for an aggregate net purchase price of $271 million. This acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The Company allocated the net purchase price to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values as of the date of acquisition, including intangible assets of $134.6 million. Of the intangible assets acquired, the largest were trade names and trademarks and customer relationships of $77.9 million and $56.7 million, respectively. Auditing the Company's valuation of trade names and trademarks and customer relationships was complex and required significant auditor judgment due to the significant estimation uncertainty in evaluating certain assumptions required to estimate the fair value. The significant estimation uncertainty was primarily due to the sensitivity of the respective fair value of the trade names and trademarks and customer relationships to assumptions about the future cash flows that the Company expects to generate from the acquired business. The Company used the relief from royalty method and multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach to measure trade names and trademarks and customer relationships, respectively. The fair value measure was sensitive to underlying assumptions including certain assumptions that form the basis of the forecasted results (e.g., operating income, growth rates and royalty rates). The significant assumptions are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of relevant controls over the Company’s process for estimating the fair value of trade names and trademarks and customer relationships, including controls over management's review of the significant assumptions, including the operating income, growth rates and royalty rates, used in the valuation of these intangible assets and review of the valuation models. To test the estimated fair value of the trade names and trademarks and customer relationships, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, evaluating the Company's valuation methodologies and evaluating the significant assumptions used by the Company. We involved our valuation specialists to assist with our evaluation of the methodology used by the Company and significant assumptions included in the fair value estimates. Our testing also included comparing the significant assumptions used to the historical results of the acquired business and to other guideline companies within the same industry. We also performed sensitivity analyses of the significant assumptions to evaluate the change in the fair value of the intangible assets resulting from changes in the assumptions. |

Our company, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in and Evaluation of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
On September 19, 2022, we completed the acquisition of Johnny Was. We continue integrating the Johnny Was business processes, information technology systems and other components into our operations and internal controls over financial reporting, resulting in certain changes into our internal controlcontrols over financial reporting during the fourth quarterFourth Quarter of Fiscal 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

On September 19, 2022, we completed our acquisition of Johnny Was. The results of operations of Johnny Was are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. As permitted by the SEC, we have elected to exclude Johnny Was from our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 28, 2023. Net sales of Johnny Was represent 5% of net sales as reported in our consolidated financial statements for Fiscal 2022.
We assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 28, 2017.2023. In making this assessment, management used the updated framework issued by

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Because of their inherent limitations, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness for future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
