Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

DuringIn April 2014, the first quarter of 2013, the Company adoptedFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-02,(“ASU”) 2014-08,Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Amounts Reclassified outDisposals of Accumulated Other Comprehensive IncomeComponents of an Entity(“. The amendments in this update change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. A discontinued operation may include a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity. A disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results and when the component or group of components meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, is disposed by sale or is disposed of by other than by sale. ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 amended existing guidance by requiring additional disclosure either on the face of the incomestatement or in the notes to the financial statements of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The provisions of this new guidance were2014-8 is effective prospectively as of thefor fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning of 2013. Accordingly, enhanced footnote disclosure is included inNote 5.after December 15, 2014, with earlier adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 had nothis guidance did not have a significant effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or financialposition.cash flows.

 

We performed our annual goodwill impairment assessment during the first quarter of 2013, usingIn May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, issued as a qualitative approach as permitted undernew Topic, Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08,Testing GoodwillCodification Topic 606. The core principle of this amendment is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for Impairment. In performingthose goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, with earlier adoption not permitted. ASU 2014-09 can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the assessment, we identified and considered the significancedate of relevant key factors, events, and circumstances that affected the fair value and/or carrying amountsadoption. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant effect on our reporting units. These factors included external factors such as macroeconomic, industry and market conditions, as well as entity-specific factors, such as our actual and plannedconsolidated financial performance. Based on theposition, results of the impairment assessment performed, we concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units substantially exceeded their respective carrying values and there are no reporting units at risk of impairment.operations or cash flows.

 

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

5.Financial Instruments

 

The Company operates internationally and utilizes certain derivative financial instruments to mitigate its foreign currency exposures, primarily related to third-party and intercompany forecasted transactions. As a result of the use of derivative instruments, the Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate this counterparty credit risk, the Company has a policypractice of entering into contracts only with major financial institutions selected based upon their credit ratings and other financial factors. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of counterparties throughout the duration of the derivative instrument.

5.Financial Instruments – (continued)

 

Derivative Holdings Designated as Hedges

 

For a derivative to qualify as a hedge at inception and throughout the hedged period, the Company formally documents the nature of the hedged items and the relationships between the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk-management objectives, strategies for undertaking the various hedge transactions, and the methods of assessing hedge effectiveness and hedge ineffectiveness. In addition, for hedges of forecasted transactions, the significant characteristics and expected terms of a forecasted transaction must be specifically identified, and it must be probable that each forecasted transaction would occur. If it were deemed probable that the forecasted transaction would not occur, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument would be recognized in earnings immediately. No such gains or losses were recognized in earnings for any of the periods presented. Derivative financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting must maintain a specified level of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedged period, which management evaluates periodically.

 

The primary currencies to which the Company is exposed are the euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, and Australian dollar. For option and foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges of the purchase of inventory, the effective portion of gains and losses is deferred as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (“AOCL”) and is recognized as a component of cost of sales when the related inventory is sold. The amount reclassified to cost of sales related to such contracts was not significant for any of the periods presented. The effective portion of gains or losses associated with other forward contracts is deferred as a component of AOCL until the underlying transaction is reported in earnings. The ineffective portion of gains and losses related to cash flow hedges recorded to earnings was also not significant for any of the periods presented. When using a forward contract as a hedging instrument, the Company excludes the time value of the contract from the assessment of effectiveness. At each quarter-end, the Company had not hedged forecasted transactions for more than the next twelve months, and the Company expects all derivative-related amounts reported in AOCL to be reclassified to earnings within twelve months. The net change in the fair value of the foreign exchange derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges of the purchase of inventory resulted inwas a loss of $1 million gain and a $1 million loss for the thirteen weeks ended AugustMay 3, 2014 and May 4, 2013, and was not significant for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013. The net change resulted in a gain of $1 million for both the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 2012. respectively.

The notional value of the contracts outstanding at AugustMay 3, 20132014 was $57$55 million and these contracts extend through January 2015.

Derivative Holdings Designated as Non-Hedges

The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts that are not designated as hedges in order to manage the costs of foreign-currency denominated merchandise purchases and intercompany transactions. Changes in the fair value of these foreign exchange forward contracts are recorded in earnings immediately within selling, general and administrative expenses. The net change in fair value resulted in expense for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2014 of $1 million. The net change in fair value was not significant for the prior-year period. The notional value of the contracts outstanding at May 3, 2014 was $37 million and these contracts extend through July 2014.

Derivative Holdings Designated as Non-Hedges

 

The Company mitigates the effect of fluctuating foreign exchange rates on the reporting of foreign-currency denominated earnings by entering into currency option contracts. Changes in the fair value of these foreign currency option contracts, which are not designated as hedges,non-hedges, are recorded in earnings immediately within other income. The realized gains, premiums paid, and changes in the fair market value recorded were not significant for any of the periods presented. There were no options outstanding at August 3, 2013.

Short-term investments represent corporate bonds with maturity dates within one year from the purchase date. These securities are valued using model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets and therefore are classified as Level 2 instruments.

 

The fair value of the auction rate security is determined by using quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets and accordingly is classified as a Level 2 instrument.

 

The Company’s derivative financial instruments are valued using market-based inputs to valuation models. These valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, and measures of volatility.

There were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 assets and liabilities for any of the periods presented.

INCOME TAXES

For the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2014, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $92 million, which represented an effective tax rate of 36.1 percent, compared to the prior-year income tax provision of $78 million, which also represented an effective tax rate of 36.1 percent. The Company’s interim provision for income taxes is measured using an annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items that occur within the periods presented.

The Company regularly assesses the adequacy of the Company’s provisions for income tax contingencies in accordance with the applicable authoritative guidance on accounting for income taxes. As a result, the Company may adjust the reserves for unrecognized tax benefits considering new facts and developments, such as changes to interpretations of relevant tax law, assessments from taxing authorities, settlements with taxing authorities, and lapses of statutes of limitation. The effective tax rate included tax benefits of $1 million and $2 million from reserve releases due to the settlements of tax examinations during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2014 and May 4, 2013 respectively.

Excluding these nonrecurring benefits, the effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2014 decreased as compared with the corresponding prior-year period, due primarily to the effect of full implementation of international tax planning initiatives.

The Company currently expects its full year tax rate to approximate 36.5 percent, excluding the effect of any additional nonrecurring items that may occur. The actual tax rates will depend primarily on the level and mix of income earned in the United States as compared with its international operations.

The improved performance represents a 16.5 percent flow-through of increased sales to pre-tax income, reflecting leveraging of fixed costs, and controlling operating expenses.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax provisions of $40 million and $118 million, which represent effective tax rates of 37.7 percent and 36.6 percent for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013, respectively. For the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 2012, the Company recorded income tax provisions of $34 million and $107 million, which represented effective tax rates of 36.7 percent and 36.5 percent, respectively. The Company’s interim provision for income taxes is measured using an annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items that occur within the periods presented.

The Company regularly assesses the adequacy of its provisions for income tax contingencies in accordance with the applicable authoritative guidance on accounting for income taxes.  As a result, the Company may adjust the reserves for unrecognized tax benefits considering new facts and developments, such as changes to interpretations of relevant tax law, assessments from taxing authorities, settlements with taxing authorities, and lapses of statutes of limitation. Included in the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2013 is an additional state tax provision of $1 million.

The effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended July 28, 2012 included a tax benefit related to a Canadian provincial tax rate change that resulted in a $1 million increase in the value of the Company’s net deferred tax assets.both periods presented.

Excluding the reserve activity and other discrete items, the effective tax rate for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013 decreased as compared with the corresponding prior-year period, due primarily to the effect of certain recently implemented tax planning initiatives.

Subsequent to the second quarter, in August 2013, the Company released reserves of approximately $3 million due to the settlement of a foreign audit. The Company currently expects its third quarter and full year tax rate to approximate 37 percent, excluding the effect of the foreign audit settlement and any additional nonrecurring items that may occur. The actual tax rates will primarily depend on the level and mix of income earned in the United States as compared with its international operations. 

Net Income

For the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013, net income increased by $7 million, or 11.9 percent, and $17 million, or 9.1 percent, respectively, as compared with the corresponding prior-year periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The Company’s primary source of liquidity has been cash flow from operations, while the principal uses of cash have been to: fund inventory and other working capital requirements; finance capital expenditures related to store openings, store remodelings, Internet and mobile sites, information systems, and other support facilities; make retirement plan contributions, quarterly dividend payments, share repurchases, and interest payments; and fund other cash requirements to support the development of its short-term and long-term operating strategies. The Company generally finances real estate with operating leases. Management believes its cash, cash equivalents and future cash flow from operations and the Company’s current revolving credit facility will be adequate to fund these requirements.

21

 

The Company may also from time to time repurchase its common stock or seek to retire or purchase outstanding debt through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. SuchShare repurchases and retirement of debt, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.As of May 3, 2014, approximately $301 million remains on the Company’s current $600 million share repurchase program.

 

Any material adverse change in customer demand, fashion trends, competitive market forces, or customer acceptance of the Company’s merchandise mix and retail locations, uncertainties related to the effect of competitive products and pricing, the Company’s reliance on a few key vendors for a significant portion of its merchandise purchases and risks associated with global product sourcing, economic conditions worldwide, the effects of currency fluctuations, as well as other factors listed under the heading “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” could affect the ability of the Company to continue to fund its needs from business operations.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Legal proceedings pending against the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries consist of ordinary, routine litigation, including administrative proceedings, incidental to the business of the Company or businesses that have been sold or disposed of by the Company in past years. These legal proceedings include commercial, intellectual property, customer, environmental, and employment-related claims.

 

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are defendants in a number of lawsuits filed in state and federal courts containing various class action allegations under federal or state wage and hour laws, including allegations concerning unpaid overtime, meal and rest breaks, and uniforms.

 

The Company is a defendant in one such case in which plaintiff alleges that the Company permitted unpaid off-the-clock hours in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act and state labor laws. The case,Pereira v. Foot Locker, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in 2007. In his complaint, in addition to unpaid wage and overtime allegations, plaintiff seeks compensatory and punitive damages, injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs. In 2009, the Court conditionally certified a nationwide collective action. During the course of 2010, notices were sent to approximately 81,888 current and former employees of the Company offering them the opportunity to participate in the class action, and approximately 5,027 have opted in.

 

The Company is a defendant in additional purported wage and hour class actions that assert claims similar to those asserted inPereira and seek similar remedies. With the exception ofHill v. Foot Locker filed in state court in Illinois,Kissinger v. Foot Locker filed in state court of California,Ghattas v. Foot Locker filed in state court of California, andCortes v. Foot Locker filed in federal court of New York, andMcGlothin v. Foot Locker filed in the state of California, all of these actions were consolidated by the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation withPereiraunder the captionIn re Foot Locker, Inc. Fair Labor Standards Act and Wage and Hour Litigation.The consolidatedcases are in the discovery stages of proceedings. InHill v. Foot Locker, in May 2011, the court granted plaintiffs’ motion for certification of an opt-out class covering certain Illinois employees only. The Company's motion for leave to appeal was denied. The Company has had and continues tomay in the future have discussions with plaintiffs’ counsel in an attempt to determine whether it will be possible to resolve the consolidated cases andHill. Meanwhile, the Company is vigorously defending these class actions. InGhattas,the court has preliminarily approved a settlement of the action. Due to the inherent uncertainties of such matters, and because fact and expert discovery have not been completed, the Company is currently unable to make an estimate of the range of loss.

 

The Company and the Company’s U.S. retirement plan are defendants in a purported class action (Osberg v. Foot Locker, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York) in which the plaintiff alleges that, in connection with the 1996 conversion of the retirement plan to a defined benefit plan with a cash balance formula, the Company and the retirement plan failed to properly advise plan participants of the “wear-away” effect of the conversion. Plaintiff asserted claims for: (a) breach of fiduciary duty under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA); (b) violation of the statutory provisions governing the content of the Summary Plan Description; (c) violation of the notice provision of Section 204(h) of ERISA; and (d) violation of ERISA’s age discrimination provisions. In September 2009, the court granted the Company's motion to dismiss the Section 204(h) claim and the age discrimination claim. In December 2012, the court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment on the remaining two claims, dismissing the action. Plaintiff has appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit. BecauseSecond Circuit, which issued a Summary Order on February 13, 2014 that affirmed the judgment of the inherent uncertainties of such mattersDistrict Court in part, and the current status of this case, the Company is currently unable to make an estimate of loss or range of loss for this case.vacated and remanded in part.

 

Management does not believe that the outcome of any such legal proceedings pending against the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries, includingIn re Foot Locker, Inc. Fair Labor Standards Act and Wage and Hour Litigation,Hill, Cortes, Kissinger, Ghattas,McGlothin,and Osberg,as described above, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations, taken as a whole. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and judgments could be rendered or settlements entered that could adversely affect the Company’s operating results or cash flows in a particular period.
