Iconix Brand Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2018

(dollars in thousands (unless otherwise noted) except per share data)

 

 

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management of Iconix Brand Group, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 (“Current Quarter”) are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.  The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

During the Current Quarter, the Company adopted seven new accounting pronouncements.  Refer to Note 20 for further details.

Certain reclassifications, which were immaterial, have been made to conform prior year data to the current presentation.    

Assessment of Going Concern

These consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis that contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.  Due to certain developments during the year ended December 31, 2017, including the decision by Target Corporation not to renew the existing Mossimo license agreement following its expiration in October 2018 and by Walmart, Inc. not to renew the existing Danskin Now license agreement following its expiration in January 2019, and the Company’s revised projected future earnings, the Company had initially forecasted that it would unlikely be in compliance with certain of its financial debt covenants in 2018 and beyond and that it may otherwise face possible liquidity challenges in 2018 and beyond. As a result, the Company amended its Senior Secured Term Loan to provide relief under certain covenants and implemented a cost savings plan to improve liquidity.

Following the completion of an exchange (the “Exchange”) whereby the Company exchanged an aggregate principal amount of approximately $125 million of our 1.50% convertible senior subordinated notes due March 2018 (the “1.50% Convertible Notes”) with the same aggregate principal value of our new 5.75% convertible senior subordinated notes due August 2023 (the “5.75% Convertible Notes”), the Company received proceeds of the Second Delayed Draw Term Loan of $110 million, and used these proceeds, as well as cash on hand, to extinguish the remaining 1.50% Convertible Notes outstanding as of their maturity date, March 15, 2018. See Note 9 for further information on these financings.

While conditions and events do exist that may raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months, management believes that (i) as a result of the aforementioned amendments to the Senior Secured Term Loan, (ii) the Exchange, (iii) the extinguishment of the 1.50% Convertible Notes at maturity, as well as (iv) implemented and planned cost savings, that its plans alleviate this substantial doubt, and therefore the management believes that it will continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.

For additional information, please refer to Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

2. Discontinued Operations

On May 9, 2017, the Company signed definitive agreements to sell its Entertainment segment for $349.1 million in cash, which included a customary working capital adjustment.  The sale was completed on June 30, 2017.  As a result of the sale, the Company has classified the results of its Entertainment segment as discontinued operations in its condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 (“Prior Year Quarter”).

The cash proceeds from the sale of the Company’s Entertainment segment were utilized by the Company to make mandatory principal prepayments on both its Senior Secured Notes and 2016 Senior Secured Term Loan (as well as a corresponding prepayment premium).  As a result, and in accordance with ASC 205-20-45-6, for the Prior Year Quarter, the Company allocated interest expense of $6.1 million (which includes $0.6 million of amortization of the original issue discount on the 2016 Senior Secured Term Loan) from continuing operations to discontinued operations.  Additionally, for the Prior Year Quarter, the Company allocated the prepayment premium of $15.7 million related to the 2016 Senior Secured Term Loan from continuing operations to discontinued operations on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.  Refer to Note 9 for further details.

3. Revenue Recognition

Adoption of ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC Topic 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), using the modified retrospective method applied to those license agreements which were not completed as of January 1, 2018.  Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historical accounting under Topic 605.  Under Topic 605, the Company recognized minimum royalty revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of each contract year, as defined, in each license agreement and royalties exceeding the defined minimum amounts were recognized as income during the period corresponding to the licensee’s sales.  Under Topic 606, the Company is recognizing the minimum royalty revenue on a straight-line basis over the entire contract term and royalties exceeding the defined minimum amounts are recognized only in the subsequent periods to when the minimum guarantee for the contract year has been achieved and when the later of the following events occur: (i) the subsequent sale occurs, or (ii) the performance obligation to which some or all of the sales-based royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied), as is discussed below.

We recorded a net increase to opening retained earnings and the corresponding amount to non-controlling interest of $16.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively, net of tax, as of January 1, 2018 due to the cumulative impact of adopting Topic 606, with the impact primarily related to our revenues associated with license agreements which have escalating guaranteed minimum royalties in the contract years of the license agreement term.  The impact to revenues for the Current Quarter was a decrease of $1.9 million as a result of applying Topic 606.  

Revenue Recognition

Licensing Revenue

The Company licenses its brands across a broad range of product categories, including fashion apparel, footwear, accessories, sportswear, home furnishings and décor, and beauty and fragrance.  The Company seeks licensees with the ability to produce and sell quality products in their licensed categories and to meet and exceed minimum sales and royalty payment thresholds.

The Company maintains direct-to-retail and traditional wholesale licenses.  Typically, in a direct-to-retail license, the Company grants exclusive rights to one of its brands to a national retailer for a broad range of product categories.  Direct-to-retail licenses provide retailers with proprietary rights to national brands at favorable economics.  In a traditional wholesale license, the Company grants the right to a specific brand to a single or small group of related product categories to a wholesale supplier, who is permitted to sell licensed products to multiple retailers within an approved distribution channel.

The Company’s license agreements typically require the licensee to pay the Company royalties based upon net sales with guaranteed minimum royalties in the event that net sales do not reach certain specified targets.  The Company’s licenses also typically require the licensees to pay to the Company certain minimum amounts for the advertising and marketing of the respective licensed brands.  

Licensing revenue is comprised of revenue related to the Company’s entry into various trade name license agreements that provide revenues based on minimum royalties and advertising/marketing fees and additional revenues based on a percentage of defined sales.  Minimum royalty amounts are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the full contract term.  Minimum royalties that escalate on an annual basis over the contract term are recognized on a straight-line basis over the full contract term.  Royalties exceeding the defined minimum amounts in a specific contract year (sales-based royalties), as defined in each license agreement, are recognized only in the subsequent periods to when the minimum guarantee for the contract year has been achieved and when the later of the following events occur: (i) the subsequent sale occurs, or (ii) the performance obligation to which some or all of the sales-based royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied).  

Within the Company's International segment, the Umbro business purchases replica soccer jerseys for resale to certain licensees. The Company generally does this as an accommodation to its licensees to consolidate ordering from the manufacturers. The revenue associated with such activity is included in licensing revenue and was approximately $2.0 million in the Current Quarter as compared to none in the Prior Year Quarter. The associated cost of goods sold is included in selling general and administrative expenses and was approximately $1.9 million in the Current Quarter as compared to none in the Prior Year Quarter.  Revenue for these sales are recognized upon the transfer of control of the promised product to the customer or licensee in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for these products.

Remaining Performance Obligation

We enter into long-term license agreements with our licensees across all operating segments.  Revenues are recognized on a straight line basis consistent with the nature, timing and extent of our services, which primarily relate to the ongoing brand management and maintenance of the intellectual property.  As of April 1, 2018, the Company and its joint ventures had a contractual right to receive over $470 million of aggregate minimum licensing revenue through the balance of all of their current licenses, excluding any renewals.

As of March 31, 2018, future minimum license revenue to be recognized is as follows: $101.0 million, $104.9 million, $76.0 million, $42.2 million, $35.8 million and $111.2 million for the remainder of FY 2018, FY 2019, FY 2020, FY 2021, FY 2022 and thereafter, respectively.

Contract Balances

Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to licensees.  We record a receivable when amounts are contractually due or when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing.  Deferred revenue is recorded when amounts are contractually due prior to satisfying the performance obligations of the contracts.  For multi-year license agreements, as the performance obligation is providing the licensee with the right of access to the Company’s intellectual property for the contractual term, the Company uses a time lapse measure of progress and straight lines the guaranteed minimum royalties over the contract term.

Contract Asset

We record contract assets when revenue is recognized in advance of cash payment being due from our licensees.  Contract assets due within one year of the most recent balance sheet date are recorded within Other assets – current and long term contract assets are recorded within Other assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.  As of March 31, 2018, our contract assets – current and long term contract assets were $6.4 million and $13.7 million, respectively, which has been included within other assets – current and other assets, respectively, in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Deferred Revenue

We record deferred revenue when cash payment is received or due in advance of our performance, including amounts which are refundable.  Advanced royalty payments are recognized ratably over the period indicated by the terms of the license and are reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet in deferred revenue at the time the payment is received.  The increase in deferred revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018 is primarily driven by cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying our performance obligations, offset by $2.2 million of revenues recognized that were included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period.

4. Goodwill and Trademarks and Other Intangibles, net

Goodwill

There were no changes in goodwill during the Current Quarter or Prior Year Quarter.  The annual evaluation of the Company’s goodwill, by segment, is typically performed as of October 1, the beginning of the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter.  There was no impairment of the Company’s goodwill during the Current Quarter or the Prior Year Quarter.
