BROWN SHOE COMPANY, INC. 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

 

Note 1

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and reflect all adjustments and accruals of a normal recurring nature, which management believes are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows of Brown Shoe Company, Inc. (the “Company”). These statements, however, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, after the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. 

 

The Company’s business is seasonal in nature due to consumer spending patterns, with higher back-to-school and Christmas and Easter holiday season sales. Traditionally, the third fiscal quarter accounts for a substantial portion of the Company’s earnings for the year. Interim results may not necessarily be indicative of results which may be expected for any other interim period or for the year as a whole. 

 

Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not affect net earnings (loss) attributable to Brown Shoe Company, Inc. 

 

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2013.

In MarchFebruary 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income: Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which requires entities to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, entities are required to present, either on the face of the statement where net earnings are presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income, but only if the amount is required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") to be reclassified to net earnings in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net earnings, entities are required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail on these amounts. This standard is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this guidance on February 3, 2013. See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. This standard provides guidance on releasing cumulative translation adjustments to net earnings when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or business within a foreign entity. The cumulative translation adjustments should be released only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets resides. This standard is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this newly issued guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In addition, entities are required to present either onan unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward, similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforward, rather than as a liability, when the face ofuncertain tax position would reduce the statement where net earnings are presentedNOL or other carryforward under the tax law. The amendments in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income, but only if the amount is required under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") to be reclassified to net earnings in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that arethis ASU do not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net earnings, entities are required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail on these amounts. This standardrequire new recurring financial disclosures. The guidance is effective prospectively for reportingfiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012.2013, with early adoption permitted.

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company recognized a gain upon disposition of the ASG subsidiary of $1.0 million ($1.0 million after tax, $0.02 per diluted share).

Note 12

Risk Management and Derivatives

 

In the normal course of business, the Company’s financial results are impacted by currency rate movements in foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities, and cash flows as it makes a portion of its purchases and sales in local currencies. The Company has established policies and business practices that are intended to mitigate a portion of the effect of these exposures. The Company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily forward contracts, to manage its currency exposures. These derivative instruments are viewed as risk management tools and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. Derivatives entered into by the Company are designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign currency transactions. 

 

Derivative financial instruments expose the Company to credit and market risk. The market risk associated with these instruments resulting from currency exchange movements is expected to offset the market risk of the underlying transactions being hedged. The Company does not believe there is a significant risk of loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties associated with these instruments because these transactions are executed with major financial institutions and have varying maturities through AugustOctober 2014. Credit risk is managed through the continuous monitoring of exposures to such counterparties. 

 

The Company principally uses foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges to offset a portion of the effects of exchange rate fluctuations. The Company’s cash flow exposures include anticipated foreign currency transactions, such as foreign currency denominated sales, costs, expenses, intercompany charges, as well as collections and payments. The Company performs a quarterly assessment of the effectiveness of the hedge relationship and measures and recognizes any hedge ineffectiveness in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings. Hedge ineffectiveness is evaluated using the hypothetical derivative method, and the ineffective portion of the hedge is reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of earnings. The amount of hedge ineffectiveness for the thirteen weeks and twenty-sixthirty-nine weeks ended August 3,November 2, 2013 and July 28,October 27, 2012 was not material. 

 

The Company’s hedging strategy uses forward contracts as cash flow hedging instruments, which are recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The effective portion of gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these hedge instruments are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income and reclassified to earnings in the period that the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. 

 

As of August 3,November 2, 2013,  July 28,October 27, 2012, and February 2, 2013, the Company had forward contracts maturing at various dates through AugustOctober 2014,  AugustNovember 2013, and January 2014, respectively. The contract amount represents the net amount of all purchase and sale contracts of a foreign currency.

Note 13

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair Value Hierarchy 

FASB guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (“observable inputs”) or reflect the Company’s own assumptions of market participant valuation (“unobservable inputs”). In accordance with the fair value guidance, the hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows: 

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

 

Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

17 


 

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value. Classification of the financial or non-financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. 

 

Measurement of Fair Value 

The Company measures fair value as an exit price, the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, using the procedures described below for all financial and non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value. 

 

Money Market Funds 

The Company has cash equivalents consisting of short-term money market funds backed by U.S. Treasury securities. The primary objective of these investing activities is to preserve the Company’s capital for the purpose of funding operations. The Company does not enter into money market funds for trading or speculative purposes. The fair value is based on unadjusted quoted market prices for the funds in active markets with sufficient volume and frequency (Level 1). 

 

Deferred Compensation Plan Assets and Liabilities 

The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) for the benefit of certain management employees. The investment funds offered to the participant generally correspond to the funds offered in the Company’s 401(k) plan, and the account balance fluctuates with the investment returns on those funds. The Deferred Compensation Plan permits the deferral of up to 50% of base salary and 100% of compensation received under the Company’s annual incentive plan. The deferrals are held in a separate trust, which has been established by the Company to administer the Deferred Compensation Plan. The assets of the trust are subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors in the event that the Company becomes insolvent. Consequently, the trust qualifies as a grantor trust for income tax purposes (i.e., a “Rabbi Trust”). The liabilities of the Deferred Compensation Plan are presented in other accrued expenses and the assets held by the trust are classified as trading securities within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in deferred compensation are charged to selling and administrative expenses. The fair value is based on unadjusted quoted market prices for the funds in active markets with sufficient volume and frequency (Level 1). 

 

Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors  

Non-employee directors are eligible to participate in a deferred compensation plan with deferred amounts valued as if invested in the Company’s common stock through the use of phantom stock units (“PSUs”). Under the plan, each participating director’s account is credited with the number of PSUs that is equal to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock which the participant could purchase or receive with the amount of the deferred compensation, based upon the average of the high and low prices of the Company’s common stock on the last trading day of the fiscal quarter when the cash compensation was earned. Dividend equivalents are paid on PSUs at the same rate as dividends on the Company’s common stock and are re-invested in additional PSUs at the next fiscal quarter-end. When the participating director terminates his or her service as a director, the Company will pay the cash value of the deferred compensation to the director (or to the designated beneficiary in the event of death) in annual installments over a five-year or ten-year period, or in a lump sum, at the director’s election. The cash amount payable will be based on the number of PSUs credited to the participating director’s account, valued on the basis of the fair market value at fiscal quarter-end on or following termination of the director’s service and calculated based on the mean of the high and low price of an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock on the last trading day of the fiscal quarter. The plan also provides for earlier payment of a participating director’s account if the board determines that the participant has a demonstrated financial hardship. The accounts of participants continue to earn dividend equivalents on the account balance. The liabilities of the plan are based on the fair value of the outstanding PSUs and are presented in other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of the PSUs are reported in selling and administrative expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of earnings. The fair value of the liabilities is based on an unadjusted quoted market price for the Company’s common stock in an active market with sufficient volume and frequency (Level 1). 

 

Derivative Financial Instruments 

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily foreign exchange contracts, to reduce its exposure to market risks from changes in foreign exchange rates. These foreign exchange contracts are measured at fair value using quoted forward foreign exchange prices from counterparties corroborated by market-based pricing (Level 2). Additional information related to the Company’s derivative financial instruments are disclosed within Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Impairment Charges 

The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers important that could trigger an impairment review include underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results, a significant change in the manner of the use of the asset or a negative industry or economic trend. When the Company determines that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the aforementioned factors, impairment is measured based on a projected discounted cash flow method. Certain factors, such as estimated store sales and expenses, used for this nonrecurring fair value measurement are considered Level 3 inputs as defined by FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Long-lived assets held and used with a carrying amount of $89.4$84.6 million were assessed for indicators of impairment and written down to their fair value, resulting in impairment charges of  $0.4$0.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 3,November 2, 2013.  Of the $0.4The $0.1 million impairment charge includedwas recorded in the Specialty Retail segment and is reflected in selling and administrative expenses, $0.3expenses. An impairment charge of $0.8 million was recorded for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013, of which $0.4 million related to the Famous Footwear segment and $0.1$0.4 million related to the Specialty Retail segment. An impairment charge of $0.7 million was recorded for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013. Of the $0.7 million impairment charge included in selling and administrative expenses, $0.5 million related to the Famous Footwear segment and $0.2 million related to the Specialty Retail segment.

 

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $4.7 million ($4.7 million after tax, $0.11 per diluted share) related to certain supply chain and sourcing assets, which represented the excess net asset value over the estimated fair value of the assets less costs to sell. The fair value of net assets was estimated based on the anticipated sales proceeds. This is considered a Level 2 input as the assets were not sold on an active market. The impairment charge was recorded as impairment of assets held for sale in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings and was included in the Wholesale Operations segment. These assets were sold in the second quarter of 2013, and the Company recognized an additional loss on sale of $0.6 million. See Note 4 and Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Note 16

Commitments and Contingencies

 

Environmental Remediation 

Prior operations included numerous manufacturing and other facilities for which the Company may have responsibility under various environmental laws for the remediation of conditions that may be identified in the future. The Company is involved in environmental remediation and ongoing compliance activities at several sites and has been notified that it is or may be a potentially responsible party at several other sites.

 

Redfield

The Company is remediating, under the oversight of Colorado authorities, the groundwater and indoor air at its owned facility in Colorado (the “Redfield site” or, when referring to remediation activities at or under the facility, the “on-site remediation”) and residential neighborhoods adjacent to and near the property (the “off-site remediation”) that have been affected by solvents previously used at the facility. The on-site remediation calls for the operation of a pump and treat system (which prevents migration of contaminated groundwater off the property) as the final remedy for the site, subject to monitoring and periodic review of the on-site conditions and other remedial technologies that may be developed in the future. Off-site groundwater concentrations have been reducing over time since installation of the pump and treat system in 2000 and injection of clean water beginning in 2003. However, localized areas of contaminated bedrock just beyond the property line continue to impact off-site groundwater. The modified workplan for addressing this condition includes converting the off-site bioremediation system into a monitoring well network and employing different remediation methods in these recalcitrant areas. In accordance with the workplan, a pilot test was conducted of certain groundwater remediation methods and the results of that test were used to develop more detailed plans for remedial activities in the off-site areas, which were approved by the authorities and are being implemented in a phased manner. The results of groundwater monitoring are being used to evaluate the effectiveness of these activities. The liability for the on-site remediation was discounted at 4.8%. On an undiscounted basis, the on-site remediation liability would be $15.9 million as of August 3,November 2, 2013. The Company expects to spend approximately $0.2 million in each of the next five years and $14.9 million in the aggregate thereafter related to the on-site remediation.

 

The cumulative expenditures for both on-site and off-site remediation through August 3,November 2, 2013 were $26.4$27.0 million. The Company has recovered a portion of these expenditures from insurers and other third parties. The reserve for the anticipated future remediation activities at August 3,November 2, 2013 is $8.0$8.4 million, of which $7.2$7.6 million is recorded within other liabilities and $0.8 million is recorded within other accrued expenses. Of the total $8.0$8.4 million reserve, $4.8 million is for on-site remediation and $3.2$3.6 million is for off-site remediation.

 

Other

The Company has completed its remediation efforts at its closed New York tannery and two associated landfills. In 1995, state environmental authorities reclassified the status of these sites as being properly closed and requiring only continued maintenance and monitoring through 2024. The Company has an accrued liability of $1.5 million at August 3,November 2, 2013 related to these sites, which has been discounted at 6.4%. On an undiscounted basis, this liability would be $2.0 million. The Company expects to spend approximately $0.2 million in each of the next five years and $1.0 million in the aggregate thereafter related to these sites. In addition, various federal and state authorities have identified the Company as a potentially responsible party for remediation at certain other sites. However, the Company does not currently believe that its liability for such sites, if any, would be material.

 

Based on information currently available, the Company has an accrued liability of $9.5$9.8 million as of August 3,November 2, 2013 to complete the cleanup, maintenance and monitoring at all sites. Of the $9.5$9.8 million liability, $8.5$8.8 million is recorded in other liabilities and $1.0 million is recorded in other accrued expenses. The Company continues to evaluate its estimated costs in conjunction with its environmental consultants and records its best estimate of such liabilities. However, future actions and the associated costs are subject to oversight and approval of various governmental authorities. Accordingly, the ultimate costs may vary, and it is possible costs may exceed the recorded amounts.

Litigation

 

The Company is involved in legal proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such ordinary course of business proceedings and litigation currently pending is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. Legal costs associated with litigation are generally expensed as incurred.

 

 

Note 17

Financial Information for the Company and its Subsidiaries

 

Brown Shoe Company, Inc. issued senior notes, which are fully and unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed by all of its existing and future subsidiaries that are guarantors under its existing agreement. The following table presents the consolidating financial information for each of Brown Shoe Company, Inc. (“Parent”), the Guarantors and subsidiaries of the Parent that are not Guarantors (the “Non-Guarantors”), together with consolidating eliminations, as of and for the periods indicated. The Guarantors are 100% owned by the Parent. On May 14, 2013, during the second quarter of 2013, ASG was sold and ceased to be a borrower under the Credit Agreement. ASG is included as a “Guarantor” in the financial statements through the sale date. The proceeds from the sale were utilized to pay down the Company’s revolving credit facility. See Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the sale of ASG.

   

The consolidating financial statements have been prepared using the equity method of accounting in accordance with the requirements for presentation of such information. Management believes that the information, presented in lieu of complete financial statements for each of the Guarantors, provides meaningful information to allow investors to determine the nature of the assets held by, and operations and cash flows of, each of the consolidated groups.

In our Wholesale Operations segment, we saw continued improvement as net sales increased by $8.9 million, or 4.5%.  Wholesale Operations reported strong performance from many of our wholesale brands, as our trend-right styles continued to resonate with consumers.  Net sales of our Famous Footwear segment increased by $37.9$2.8 million, reflecting an increasecontinued growth in same-store sales of 6.8%4.9% in the secondthird quarter, of 2013. Net sales at our Wholesale Operations segment increased by $19.9 million, reflecting strong performance from the majority of our wholesale brands.with strength across nearly all geographies, climate zones, and genders. Our Specialty Retail segment experienced an  increase in same-store sales of 4.8%0.6% in the secondthird quarter of 2013, but lower e-commerce sales and a lower store count resulted in lowera $4.9 million decrease in overall net sales of $1.0 million infor the secondthird quarter of 2013. 

Due to the inclusion of the 53rd week in fiscal 2012, one week of our heavy back-to-school selling season shifted into the second quarter of 2013 from the third quarter, as compared to 2012.  We believe the impact of this fiscal calendar shift resulted in an increase in net sales at Famous Footwear in the second quarter of approximately $15 million as compared to the second quarter of 2012. In addition, within our Wholesale Operations segment, we also experienced a shift of approximately $7 million, due to the acceleration of wholesale orders at the request of our retail partners as well as supply chain improvements which have allowed us to deliver product to market earlier than was previously possible. In total, these timing differences impacted net sales favorably in the second quarter of 2013 by approximately $22 million.

In addition to the net sales increase and higher gross profit rate, this improvement also reflects the positive results of our portfolio realignment initiatives, described below.2012.

 

The following items impactedOur portfolio realignment efforts impact the comparison of our secondthird quarter results infor 2013 and 2012 and should be considered in evaluating comparability.  Our portfolio realignment efforts include the comparabilitysale of our results: Avia and Nevados divisions; the sale of AND 1; exiting certain women’s specialty and private label brands; exiting the children’s wholesale business; the sale and closure of certain sourcing and supply chain assets; closing or relocating numerous underperforming or poorly aligned retail stores; the termination of the Etienne Aigner license agreement; the election not to renew the Vera Wang license and other infrastructure changes. No portfolio realignment costs were incurred during the third quarter of 2013 compared to costs of $2.6 million ($1.6 million after-tax, or $0.04 per diluted share) incurred during the third quarter of 2012.

Portfolio realignment – Our portfolio realignment efforts include the sale of our Avia and Nevados divisions; the sale of AND 1; exiting certain women’s specialty and private label brands; exiting the children’s wholesale business; the sale and closure of certain sourcing and supply chain assets; closing or relocating numerous underperforming or poorly aligned retail stores; the termination of the Etienne Aigner license agreement; the election not to renew the Vera Wang license and other infrastructure changes. In total, we incurred costs of $1.8 million ($1.2 million of income on an after-tax basis, or $0.02 per diluted share) during the second quarter of 2013. Of the $1.8 million of costs, $1.1 million was reflected as discontinued operations and $0.7 million was reflected in continuing operations. During the second quarter of 2012, we incurred costs related to our portfolio realignment efforts of $12.4 million ($8.0 million after-tax, or $0.19 per diluted share). Of these costs, $5.1 million was reflected as continuing operations and $7.3 million was reflected in discontinued operations. See Note 3, Note 4 and Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to these initiatives.

Our debt-to-capital ratio, as defined herein, decreased to 34.2%30.6% at August 3,November 2, 2013, compared to 43.6%41.7% at July 28,October 27, 2012 and 41.6% at February 2, 2013, reflecting lower borrowings under our revolving credit agreement, primarily due to the cash proceeds of $60.3 million from the sale of our Avia and Nevados divisions in May 2013 as well as strong cash provided by operating activities.activities in 2013.  As of November 2, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit agreement. Our current ratio, as defined herein, was 1.762.12 to 1 at August 3,November 2, 2013, compared to 1.521.70 to 1 at July 28,October 27, 2012 and 1.65 to 1 at February 2, 2013. The increaseimprovement in the current ratio from July 28,October 27, 2012 as compared to August 3,November 2, 2013, was also primarily driven by lower borrowings under our revolving credit agreement. The increase in the current ratio from February 2, 2013 as compared to August 3, 2013, reflects an increase in inventory to support the higher level of anticipated sales and a decrease in borrowings under our revolving credit agreement, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable.

 

Outlook for the Remainder of 2013 

We delivered strong financial results in the secondthird quarter with solid performance across our businesses. Based on our secondthird quarter results, we now expect to earn $0.73$0.82 to $0.78$0.86 per diluted share in 2013, which includes pre-tax costs of approximately $31 million ($23.5 million on an after-tax basis, or $0.54 per diluted share) related to our portfolio realignment efforts. initiatives.    We remain cautious in our outlook of the macro economic environment and related impacts on consumer sentiment and spending.

Same-store sales changes are calculated by comparing the sales in stores that have been open at least 13 months. Relocated stores are treated as new stores, and closed stores are excluded from the calculation. Sales change from new and closed stores, net reflects the change in net sales due to stores that have been opened or closed during the period and are therebytherefore excluded from the same-store sales calculation. E-commerce sales for those e-commerce websites that function as an extension of a retail chain are included in the same-store sales calculation. For comparability purposes, same-store sales for the secondthird quarter of 2013 isare calculated based on retail sales for weeks 1427 through 2639 in 2013 as compared to weeks 1528 through 2740 in 2012. This adjustment is required due to the impact of the 53rd week of sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. The calculation for the secondthird quarter of 2013 appropriately reflects the change in same-store-sales on a comparable retail calendar week basis.

Credit Agreement 

On January 7, 2011, Brown Shoe Company, Inc. and certain of our subsidiaries (the “Loan Parties”) entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which was further amended on February 17, 2011 (as so amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement matures on January 7, 2016 and provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $530.0 million, subject to the calculated borrowing base restrictions, and provides for an increase at our option of up to $150.0 million from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement (the “general purpose accordion feature”) subject to satisfaction of certain conditions and the willingness of existing or new lenders to assume the increase. 

 

Borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement is limited to the lesser of the total commitments and the borrowing base, which is based on stated percentages of the sum of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, as defined, less applicable reserves. Under the Credit Agreement, the Loan Parties’ obligations are secured by a first-priority security interest in all accounts receivable, inventory, and certain other collateral. 

 

Interest on borrowings is at variable rates based on the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or the prime rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus a spread. The interest rate and fees for letters of credit vary based upon the level of excess availability under the Credit Agreement. There is an unused line fee payable on the unused portion under the facility and a letter of credit fee payable on the outstanding face amount under letters of credit. 

  

The Credit Agreement limits our ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments or specified payments, give guarantees, pay dividends, make capital expenditures and merge or acquire or sell assets. In addition, certain additional covenants would be triggered if excess availability were to fall below specified levels, including fixed charge coverage ratio requirements. Furthermore, if excess availability falls below the greater of (i) 15.0% of the lesser of (x) the borrowing base or (y) the total commitments and (ii) $35.0 million for three consecutive business days, or an event of default occurs, the lenders may assume dominion and control over our cash (a “cash dominion event”) until such event of default is cured or waived or the excess availability exceeds such amount for 30 consecutive days. 

  

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, judgment defaults in excess of a certain threshold, the failure of any guaranty or security document supporting the agreement to be in full force and effect and a change of control event. In addition, if the excess availability falls below the greater of (i) 12.5% of the lesser of (x) the borrowing base or (y) the total commitments and (ii) $35.0 million, and the fixed charge coverage ratio is less than 1.0 to 1.0, we would be in default under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains certain other covenants and restrictions. We were in compliance with all covenants and restrictions under the Credit Agreement as of August 3, 2013.November 2, 2013 in all material respects. 

 

At August 3,November 2, 2013, we had $23.0 million inno borrowings outstanding and $8.9$11.1 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Total additional borrowing availability was $498.1$514.6 million at August 3,November 2, 2013.  

On May 14, 2013, American Sporting Goods Corporation was sold and ceased to be a borrowerWhile we had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement. The proceeds fromAgreement as of November 2, 2013, we anticipate using the sale were utilized to pay down the revolving credit facility.

$200 Million Senior Notes Due 2019 

On May 11, 2011, we issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.125% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Senior Notes”). We used a portion of the net proceeds to call and redeem the outstanding 8.75% senior notes due in 2012. We used the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including repaying amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

Prior to May 15, 2014, we may redeem some or all of the 2019 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to the sum of the principal amount of the 2019 Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus a “make whole” premium.  After May 15, 2014, we may redeem all or a part of the 2019 Senior Notes at the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on May 15 of the years indicated below:

Reasons for the major variances in cash provided (used) in the table above are as follows: 

 

Cash provided by operating activities was $83.8$81.5 million lower infor the second quarter ofnine months ended November 2, 2013 as compared to the second quarter ofcomparable period in 2012, reflecting the following factors: 

 

·

A more significantAn increase in inventory in the first sixnine months ofended November 2, 2013 compared to the same period of 2012 to support the Company’s higher level of sales;sales compared to a decrease in inventory for the comparable period in 2012;  

·

An increase in accounts receivable in the first sixnine months ofended November 2, 2013 in support of the higher wholesaleWholesale Operations sales volume, as compared to a decrease in accounts receivable infor the first six months ofcomparable period in 2012;

·

An increase in prepaid expenses and other current and noncurrent assets in the first sixnine months ended November 2, 2013 driven by the promissory note received in conjunction with the sale of 2013 asASG, compared to a decrease last year;for the comparable period in 2012;

·

A smallerlarger decrease in trade accounts payable in the first sixnine months ofended November 2, 2013, as compared to the samecomparable period last yearin 2012 due to the timing of payments; partially offset by

·

A smaller decreaseAn increase in accrued expensesnon-cash impairment of net assets/disposition of discontinued operations and other liabilities in the first six months of 2013assets held for sale as compared to last year, due in part towell as higher anticipated payouts under our incentive plans;  net earnings.

 

Cash provided by investing activities was $77.2 million higher by $66.0 million infor the first half ofnine months ended November 2, 2013, as compared to the samecomparable period in 2012 primarily due to the $69.3 million of net proceeds from sale of subsidiaries, partially offset by $3.3a $5.0 million of increaseddecrease in acquisition costs, and a $2.9 million aggregate decrease in purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software. We expect purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software of approximately $55$54 million to $57$56 million in 2013, primarily related to remodeled and new stores and general infrastructure.

Cash used for financing activities was $4.3$12.9 million lower inhigher for the first half ofnine months ended November 2, 2013 as compared to the samecomparable period in 2012 primarily due to lowerhigher repayments, net of borrowings, under our Credit Agreement andas we reduced our outstanding borrowings to zero as of November 2, 2013, partially offset by a higher tax benefit associated with our share-based plans.

The increase in the current ratio from July 28,October 27, 2012 as compared to August 3,November 2, 2013 was primarily driven by a decrease inhigher inventory and lower borrowings under our revolving credit agreement due to the cash proceeds from the sale of our Avia and Nevados divisions in May 2013 and cash provided by operating activities.activities in 2013. The increase in the current ratio from February 2, 2013 as compared to August 3,November 2, 2013 was primarily driven by an increase in inventory, a decrease in accounts payable, and a decrease in borrowings under our revolving credit agreement, both partially offsetreflecting the proceeds from the sale of subsidiaries and cash provided by an increaseoperating activities in accounts payable.2013. Our debt-to-capital ratio was 34.2%30.6% as of August 3,November 2, 2013, compared to 41.6% as of February 2, 2013 and 43.6%41.7% as of July 28,October 27, 2012. The decrease in our debt-to-capital ratio from February 2, 2013 and July 28,October 27, 2012 is primarily due to lower borrowings under our revolving credit agreement.

 

At August 3,November 2, 2013, we had $53.1$42.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, substantially all of which represents cash and cash equivalents of our foreign subsidiaries. In accordance with Internal Revenue Service guidelines limiting the length of time that our parent company can borrow funds from foreign subsidiaries, Brown Shoe Company, Inc. utilizes the cash and cash equivalents of its foreign subsidiaries to manage the liquidity needs of the consolidated company and minimize interest expense on a consolidated basis.  

 

On May 14, 2013, we sold American Sporting Goods Corporation.ASG. The proceeds from the sale were utilized to pay down the revolving credit facility.

 

We declared and paid dividends of $0.07 per share in both the secondthird quarter of 2013 and the secondthird quarter of last year.2012. The declaration and payment of any future dividend is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, business conditions, and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors; however, we presently expect that dividends will continue to be paid.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

 

 

Our contractual obligations primarily consist of operating lease commitments, purchase obligations, borrowings under our revolving credit agreement, long-term debt, minimum license commitments, interest on long-term debt, obligations for our supplemental executive retirement plan, and other postretirement benefits and obligations related to our restructuring and expense and capital containment initiatives.  

 

During the first quarter of 2013, in connection with our agreement to sell certain supply chain and sourcing assets we entered into a minimum purchase commitment contract with the purchaser of these assets to source the manufacturing of eight million pairs of shoes over the next two years, four million each year, at market pricing. The agreement also allows a six month extension (through approximately January 2016) in the event that the required purchase level has not been met at the end of the two year period. This represents less than 10% of the Company’s sourcing requirements related to its Wholesale Operations division. The total purchase obligation is estimated at approximately $100 million. This commitment can be fulfilled from a defined group of facilities owned by the purchaser.

 

As discussed earlier, we sold our American Sporting Goods CorporationASG subsidiary on May 14, 2013. In connection with the sale of American Sporting Goods Corporation,ASG, we entered into a six monthsix-month transition services agreement. Certain lease and purchase obligations associated with that subsidiary willare no longer be obligations of the Company after May 14, 2013, or in some cases, beyond the six monthsix-month transition services period.

 

Except for the changes discussed above and within the normal course of business (primarily changes in purchase obligations, which fluctuate throughout the year as a result of the seasonal nature of our operations, borrowings under and repayments of our revolving credit agreement and changes in operating lease commitments as a result of new stores, store closures and lease renewals), there have been no other significant changes to our contractual obligations identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2013.

ITEM 4

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

It is the Chief Executive Officer's and Chief Financial Officer's ultimate responsibility to ensure we maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures include mandatory communication of material events, automated accounting processing and reporting, management review of monthly, quarterly and annual results, an established system of internal controls, and internal control reviews by our internal auditors. 

 

A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to errors or fraud may occur and not be detected.  Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance that their objectives are achieved.  As of August 3,November 2, 2013, management of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon and as of the date of that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level. 

 

There were no significant changes to internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended August 3,November 2, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
