Description of business and basis of presentation | The Container Store Group, Inc. Notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited) (In thousands, except share amounts and unless otherwise stated) December 26, 2020 1. Description of business and basis of presentation These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statement disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 17, 2020 (the “2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We use the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. All adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of quarterly operating results are reflected herein and are of a normal, recurring nature. Certain items in these consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. All references herein to “fiscal 2020” refer to the 53-week fiscal year ending April 3, 2021, “fiscal 2019” refer to the 52-week fiscal year ended March 28, 2020, and “fiscal 2018” refer to the 52-week fiscal year ended March 30, 2019. Description of business The Container Store, Inc. was founded in 1978 in Dallas, Texas, as a retailer with a mission to provide customers with storage and organization solutions through an assortment of innovative products and unparalleled customer service. In 2007, The Container Store, Inc. was sold to The Container Store Group, Inc. (the “Company”), a holding company, of which a majority stake was purchased by Leonard Green and Partners, L.P. (“LGP”). On November 6, 2013, the Company completed its initial public offering (the “IPO”), at which time LGP held a controlling interest in the Company as the majority shareholder. During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, LGP sold common stock of the Company, reducing their ownership to less than 50% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Although LGP is no longer the majority shareholder, LGP continues to have significant influence over the Company. As of December 26, 2020, The Container Store, Inc. (“TCS”) operates 93 stores with an average size of approximately 25,000 square feet (19,000 selling square feet) in 33 states and the District of Columbia. The Container Store, Inc. also offers all of its products directly to its customers (including business customers), through its website and call center. The Container Store, Inc.’s wholly-owned Swedish subsidiary, Elfa International AB (“Elfa”), designs and manufactures component-based shelving and drawer systems and made-to-measure sliding doors. elfa ® Business Update Related to Coronavirus The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic had a negative impact on the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2020 operations and financial results. We experienced significant disruptions in store operations, including the temporary closure of all stores to in-store customer traffic, which adversely affected our business, results of operations and financial condition, and saw a significant increase in our curbside pick-up and online selling. Since the second quarter of fiscal 2020, all 93 stores were open with limited capacity. As a result, online sales somewhat moderated during the second and third quarters of fiscal 2020 as customers shifted to purchasing in-store, compared to the significant increase in online sales experienced while our stores were temporarily closed to in-store customer traffic in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. We will continue to review local, state, and federal mandates as we may need to temporarily adjust our operations to comply as COVID-19 and other uncertainties continue to unfold. The Company has taken actions to tightly manage costs, working capital and capital expenditures to preserve the Company’s financial health. As previously announced, the Company furloughed approximately 2,800 employees, primarily in its stores, as well as a portion of corporate employees, and reduced the base salaries of its executive officers and certain employees, due to COVID-19. As of the date of this filing, we have no furloughed employees and approximately 4,500 active employees and have returned temporarily reduced base salaries to pre-COVID-19 levels. We continue to prioritize the health and safety of our customers and employees by implementing strict health and safety protocols in our stores, including intensive and frequent cleaning procedures and limitations on the number of customers shopping in each store at any given time. Furthermore, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law on March 27, 2020 and the Company is implementing applicable benefits of the CARES Act. As such, we have deferred approximately $5,200 of employer payroll taxes as of December 26, 2020 and recorded an employee retention credit of approximately $1,000. We will continue to monitor guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, local, state and federal guidance, and the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Seasonality The Company’s business is moderately seasonal in nature and, therefore, the results of operations for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. The Company has historically realized a higher portion of net sales, operating income, and cash flows from operations in the fourth fiscal quarter, attributable primarily to the timing and impact of Our Annual elfa ® Recent accounting pronouncements In July 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . ASU 2016-13 changes how to recognize expected credit losses on financial assets. The standard requires a more timely recognition of credit losses on loans and other financial assets and also provides additional transparency about credit risk. The current credit loss standard generally requires that a loss actually be incurred before it is recognized, while the new standard will require recognition of full lifetime expected losses upon initial recognition of the financial instrument. Originally, ASU 2016-13 was effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. An entity should apply the standard by recording a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842) . This ASU defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for public companies that are considered smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is planning to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, The Company is planning to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. In March 2020, the FASB issued, ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 are elective and are effective upon issuance for all entities. The adoption of this standard did not result in a material impact to the Company’s financial statements. |

Long-term debt and revolving lines of credit | 3. Long-term debt and revolving lines of credit On April 6, 2012, The Container Store Group, Inc., The Container Store, Inc. and certain of our domestic subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and the lenders party thereto (the “Senior Secured Term Loan Facility”). On November 25, 2020, the Company entered into Amendment No. 7 (the “Seventh Amendment”) to the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility. In connection with the Seventh Amendment, the Company (a) paid down approximately $47,200 of the outstanding loans under the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility, which reduced the aggregate principal amount of the loans under the facility to $200,000 and (b) amended the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility to, among other things, extend the maturity date to January 31, 2026 and impose a 1.00% premium if a voluntary prepayment is made from the proceeds of a repricing transaction within the one year anniversary of the Seventh Amendment. Commencing on March 31, 2021, the Company will be required to make quarterly amortization payments of $500 on the term loan facility, with the balloon payment for the remaining balance due on January 31, 2026. Prior to the date of delivery of a compliance certificate for the fiscal quarter ended December 26, 2020, the applicable interest rate margin for LIBOR loans was 4.75%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, and 3.75% for base rate loans On April 6, 2012, The Container Store Group, Inc., The Container Store, Inc. and certain of our domestic subsidiaries entered into an asset-based revolving credit agreement with the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Syndication Agent (as amended, the “Revolving Credit Facility”). On November 25, 2020, the Company entered into Amendment No. 5 (the “Fifth Amendment”) to the Revolving Credit Facility. The Fifth Amendment amends the Revolving Credit Facility to extend the maturity date to the earlier of (a) November 25, 2025 and (b) October 31, 2025 if any portion of the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility remains outstanding on such date and the maturity date of the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility is not extended. The Company capitalizes certain costs associated with issuance of various debt instruments. These deferred financing costs are amortized to interest expense on a straight-line method, which is materially consistent with the effective interest method, over the terms of the related debt agreements. In the thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2020, the Company capitalized $5,579 of fees associated with the Seventh Amendment which will be amortized through January 31, 2026. Long-term debt and revolving lines of credit consist of the following: December 26, March 28, December 28, 2020 2020 2019 Senior secured term loan facility $ 200,000 $ 252,282 $ 253,985 2019 Elfa term loan facility — 9,050 — 2019 Elfa revolving credit facility — — — Obligations under finance leases 389 274 293 Revolving credit facility — 78,000 58,000 Total debt 200,389 339,606 312,278 Less current portion (2,186) (16,002) (6,953) Less deferred financing costs (1) (9,313) (6,119) (6,567) Total long-term debt $ 188,890 $ 317,485 $ 298,758 (1) Represents deferred financing costs related to our Senior Secured Term Loan Facility, which are presented net of long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheet. |

Leases | |
Leases | 4. Leases We conduct all of our U.S. operations from leased facilities that include corporate headquarters, warehouse facilities, and 93 store locations. The corporate headquarters, warehouse facilities, and stores are under operating leases that generally expire over the next 1 to 20 years. We also lease computer hardware under operating leases that generally expire over the next few years. In most cases, management expects that in the normal course of business, leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases. The Company also has finance leases at our Elfa segment that are immaterial. Lease expense on operating leases is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, commencing on the date the Company takes possession of the leased property and is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”). We consider lease payments that cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty upon lease commencement to be variable lease payments, which are recorded as incurred each period and are excluded from our calculation of lease liabilities. Our variable lease payments include lease payments that are based on a percentage of sales. Upon lease commencement, we recognize the lease liability measured at the present value of the fixed future minimum lease payments. We have elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components. Therefore, lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability include all fixed payments in the lease arrangement. We record a right-of-use asset for an amount equal to the lease liability, increased for any prepaid lease costs and initial direct costs and reduced by any lease incentives. We remeasure the lease liability and right-of-use asset when a change to our future minimum lease payments occurs. Key assumptions and judgments included in the determination of the lease liability include the discount rate applied to present value the future lease payments and the exercise of renewal options. Many of our leases contain renewal options. The option periods are generally not included in the lease term used to measure our lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon commencement as exercise of the options is not reasonably certain. We remeasure the lease liability and right-of-use asset when we are reasonably certain to exercise a renewal option. During fiscal 2020, the Company renegotiated terms with landlords as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in the deferral of approximately $11,900 of certain cash lease payments, of which approximately $10,100 remains deferred as of December 26, 2020, and the modification of certain lease terms for a substantial portion of our leased properties. Under ASC 842, changes to lease payments that are not stipulated in the original lease contract are generally accounted for as lease modifications. In April 2020, the FASB issued guidance related to the relief for lease concessions offered as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and does not require these concessions to be accounted for in accordance with the lease modification guidance in ASC 842. Under existing lease guidance, the Company would determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement with the tenant or if it was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the lease agreement. Under the relief guidance, a company can account for the concessions (i) as if no changes to the existing lease contract were made or (ii) as a variable lease adjustment. The Company did not apply the lease modification relief , and the remeasurement impact is included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2020. Discount Rate Our leases do not provide information about the rate implicit in the lease. Therefore, we utilize an incremental borrowing rate to calculate the present value of our future lease obligations. The incremental borrowing rate represents the rate of interest we would have to pay on a collateralized borrowing, for an amount equal to the lease payments, over a similar term and in a similar economic environment. The components of lease costs for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019 were as follows: Thirteen Weeks Ended Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended December 26, 2020 December 28, 2019 December 26, 2020 December 28, 2019 Operating lease costs $ 22,926 $ 22,842 $ 68,132 $ 67,840 Variable lease costs 331 270 642 903 Total lease costs $ 23,257 $ 23,112 $ 68,774 $ 68,743 We do not have sublease income and do not recognize lease assets or liabilities for short-term leases, defined as operating leases with initial terms of less than 12 months. Our short-term lease costs were not material for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019. Supplemental cash flow information related to our leases for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019 were as follows: Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended December 26, 2020 December 28, 2019 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities $ 60,044 $ 67,321 Additions to right-of-use assets $ 44,785 $ 41,976 Weighted average remaining operating lease term and incremental borrowing rate as of December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019 were as follows: Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended December 26, 2020 December 28, 2019 Weighted average remaining lease term (years) 7.0 7.2 Weighted average incremental borrowing rate 13.9 % 8.8 % As of December 26, 2020, future minimum lease payments under our operating lease liabilities were as follows: Operating leases (1) Within 1 year (remaining) $ 26,868 2 years 93,543 3 years 80,849 4 years 73,779 5 years 66,053 Thereafter 207,725 Total lease payments $ 548,817 Less amount representing interest (202,388) Total lease liability $ 346,429 Less current lease liability (54,719) Total noncurrent lease liability $ 291,710 (1) Operating lease payments exclude approximately $6,054 of legally binding minimum lease payments for leases signed but not yet commenced. |

During the thirteen weeks ended December 26, 2020, the effective tax rate rose above the U.S. statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to tax related to stock-based compensation, U.S. state income taxes, officer compensation limitation and the impact of the global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") provision from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("The Act"). During the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019, the effective tax rate rose above the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to tax related to stock-based compensation, U.S. state income taxes, and the impact of the GILTI provision. The provision for income taxes in the thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2020 was $10,356 as compared to a provision of $1,428 in the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019.

Foreign currency forward contracts | 9. Foreign currency forward contracts The Company’s international operations and purchases of inventory products from foreign suppliers are subject to certain opportunities and risks, including foreign currency fluctuations. In the TCS segment, we utilize foreign currency forward contracts in Swedish krona to stabilize our retail gross margins and to protect our domestic operations from downward currency exposure by hedging purchases of inventory from our wholly-owned subsidiary, Elfa. Forward contracts in the TCS segment are designated as cash flow hedges, as defined by ASC 815. In the Elfa segment, we utilize foreign currency forward contracts to hedge purchases, primarily of raw materials, that are transacted in currencies other than Swedish krona, which is the functional currency of Elfa. Forward contracts in the Elfa segment are economic hedges and are not designated as cash flow hedges as defined by ASC 815. During the thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, the TCS segment used forward contracts for 90% and 87% of inventory purchases in Swedish krona, respectively. Generally, the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts have terms from 1 to 24 months and require the Company to exchange currencies at agreed-upon rates at settlement. The counterparties to the contracts consist of a limited number of major domestic and international financial institutions. The Company does not hold or enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company records its foreign currency forward contracts on a gross basis and generally does not require collateral from these counterparties because it does not expect any losses from credit exposure. The Company records all foreign currency forward contracts on its consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The Company accounts for its foreign currency hedging instruments in the TCS segment as cash flow hedges, as defined. Changes in the fair value of the foreign currency hedging instruments that are considered to be effective, as defined, are recorded in other comprehensive loss until the hedged item (inventory) is sold to the customer, at which time the deferred gain or loss is recognized through cost of sales. Any portion of a change in the foreign currency hedge instrument’s fair value that is considered to be ineffective, as defined, or that the Company has elected to exclude from its measurement of effectiveness, is immediately recorded in earnings as cost of sales. The Company assessed the effectiveness of the foreign currency hedge instruments and determined the foreign currency hedge instruments were highly effective during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019. Forward contracts not designated as hedges in the Elfa segment are adjusted to fair value as SG&A on the consolidated statements of operations; however, during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2020, the Company did not amount associated with the change in fair value of forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments, as the Company had none of these instruments outstanding. The Company had a $6,237 gain in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to foreign currency hedge instruments at December 26, 2020, of which $1,639 represents an unrealized loss for settled foreign currency hedge instruments related to inventory on hand as of December 26, 2020. The Company expects the unrealized loss of $1,639, net of taxes, to be reclassified into earnings over the next 12 months as the underlying inventory is sold to the end customer. The change in fair value of the Company’s foreign currency hedge instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges and are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, are presented in Note 8 of these financial statements. |

Fair value measurements | |
Fair value measurements | 10. Fair value measurements Under GAAP, the Company is required to a) measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value or b) disclose the fair values of certain assets and liabilities recorded at cost. Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is calculated assuming the transaction occurs in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability and includes consideration of non-performance risk and credit risk of both parties. Accounting standards pertaining to fair value establish a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: ● Level 1—Valuation inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. ● Level 2—Valuation inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. ● Level 3—Valuation inputs are unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. As of December 26, 2020, March 28, 2020 and December 28, 2019, the Company held certain items that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These included the nonqualified retirement plan, which consists of investments purchased by employee contributions to retirement savings accounts. The fair value amount of the nonqualified retirement plan is measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient, and therefore, is not classified in the fair value hierarchy. The Company also considers counterparty credit risk and its own credit risk in its determination of all estimated fair values. The Company has consistently applied these valuation techniques in all periods presented and believes it has obtained the most accurate information available for the types of contracts it holds. The following items are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements December 26, March 28, December 28, Description Balance Sheet Location 2020 2020 2019 Assets Nonqualified retirement plan N/A Other current assets $ 6,116 $ 5,066 $ 6,249 Total assets $ 6,116 $ 5,066 $ 6,249 The fair value of long-term debt was estimated using quoted prices as well as recent transactions for similar types of borrowing arrangements (Level 2 valuations). As of December 26, 2020, March 28, 2020 and December 28, 2019, the estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, including current maturities, was as follows: December 26, March 28, December 28, 2020 2020 2019 Senior secured term loan facility $ 200,000 $ 198,041 $ 241,286 2019 Elfa revolving credit facility — 9,050 — Obligations under finance leases 389 274 293 Revolving credit facility — 78,000 58,000 Total fair value of debt 200,389 285,365 299,579 |

The Company has determined that the Chief Executive Officer is the CODM and the Company’s two reportable segments consist of TCS and Elfa. The TCS segment includes the Company’s retail stores, website and call center, as well as the installation and organization services business. The Elfa segment includes the manufacturing business that produces the elfa ® brand products that are sold domestically exclusively through the TCS segment, as well as on a wholesale basis in approximately 30 countries around the world, with a concentration in the Nordic region of Europe. The intersegment sales in the Elfa column represent elfa ® product sales to the TCS segment. These sales and the related gross margin on merchandise recorded in TCS inventory balances at the end of the period are eliminated for consolidation purposes in the Eliminations column. The net sales to third parties in the Elfa column represent sales to customers outside of the United States. The Company has determined that adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is the profit or loss measure that the CODM uses to make resource allocation decisions and evaluate segment performance. Adjusted EBITDA assists management in comparing our performance on a consistent basis for purposes of business decision-making by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations and, therefore, are not included in measuring segment performance. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated in accordance with the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility and we define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, certain non-cash items, and other adjustments that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance from period to period.

The amount varies depending on the average age of our lease portfolio (weighted for size), as our GAAP operating lease expense on younger leases typically exceeds our cash operating lease payments, while our GAAP operating lease expense on older leases is typically less than our cash operating lease payments. Non-cash lease expense increased in the thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2020 due to renegotiated terms with landlords due to COVID-19 that resulted in deferral of $11,900 of certain cash lease payments, of which approximately $10,100 remains deferred as of December 26, 2020, a nd the modification of certain lease terms for a substantial portion of our leased properties.

(j) Severance and other credits/costs include amounts our management does not consider in our evaluation of our ongoing operations.

Business Update Related to Coronavirus | Business Update Related to Coronavirus The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic had a negative impact on the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2020 operations and financial results. We experienced significant disruptions in store operations, including the temporary closure of all stores to in-store customer traffic, which adversely affected our business, results of operations and financial condition, and saw a significant increase in our curbside pick-up and online selling. Since the second quarter of fiscal 2020, all 93 stores were open with limited capacity. As a result, online sales somewhat moderated during the second and third quarters of fiscal 2020 as customers shifted to purchasing in-store, compared to the significant increase in online sales experienced while our stores were temporarily closed to in-store customer traffic in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. We will continue to review local, state, and federal mandates as we may need to temporarily adjust our operations to comply as COVID-19 and other uncertainties continue to unfold. The Company has taken actions to tightly manage costs, working capital and capital expenditures to preserve the Company’s financial health. As previously announced, the Company furloughed approximately 2,800 employees, primarily in its stores, as well as a portion of corporate employees, and reduced the base salaries of its executive officers and certain employees, due to COVID-19. As of the date of this filing, we have no furloughed employees and approximately 4,500 active employees and have returned temporarily reduced base salaries to pre-COVID-19 levels. We continue to prioritize the health and safety of our customers and employees by implementing strict health and safety protocols in our stores, including intensive and frequent cleaning procedures and limitations on the number of customers shopping in each store at any given time. Furthermore, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law on March 27, 2020 and the Company is implementing applicable benefits of the CARES Act. As such, we have deferred approximately $5,200 of employer payroll taxes as of December 26, 2020 and recorded an employee retention credit of approximately $1,000. We will continue to monitor guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, local, state and federal guidance, and the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows. |
Seasonality | Seasonality The Company’s business is moderately seasonal in nature and, therefore, the results of operations for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. The Company has historically realized a higher portion of net sales, operating income, and cash flows from operations in the fourth fiscal quarter, attributable primarily to the timing and impact of Our Annual elfa ® |
Recent accounting pronouncements | Recent accounting pronouncements In July 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . ASU 2016-13 changes how to recognize expected credit losses on financial assets. The standard requires a more timely recognition of credit losses on loans and other financial assets and also provides additional transparency about credit risk. The current credit loss standard generally requires that a loss actually be incurred before it is recognized, while the new standard will require recognition of full lifetime expected losses upon initial recognition of the financial instrument. Originally, ASU 2016-13 was effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. An entity should apply the standard by recording a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842) . This ASU defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for public companies that are considered smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is planning to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, The Company is planning to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. In March 2020, the FASB issued, ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 are elective and are effective upon issuance for all entities. The adoption of this standard did not result in a material impact to the Company’s financial statements. |
