The reserves for variable consideration are recorded as customer refund liabilities and totaled $99.4 million as of January 31, 2021.
−Removed: Auditing the Company's measurement of variable consideration related to non-contractual markdowns and returns from wholesalers is especially challenging because the calculation involves subjective management assumptions about estimates of the expected markdowns and returns.
−Removed: For example, in addition to historical experience, estimates of future markdown allowances and returns from wholesale customers are adjusted to reflect management’s assumptions about performance of the Company’s merchandise, specific known events, and industry trends.
+Added: Auditing the Company's measurement of variable consideration related to non-contractual markdowns and returns from wholesale customers is especially challenging because the method of calculation involves subjective management assumptions about estimates of the expected markdowns and returns.
+Added: For example, in addition to historical experience, estimates of future markdown allowances and returns from wholesale customers are adjusted to reflect management’s assumptions about performance of the Company’s merchandise, specific known events and industry trends (including the effects of the global pandemic).

Description of the Matter
−Removed: As of January 31, 2020, the Company’s operating lease assets had an aggregate carrying value of $270 million.
−Removed: As described in Note D and Note E to the consolidated financial statements, long-lived assets, including operating lease assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
−Removed: An impairment is recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.
−Removed: During the year ended January 31, 2020, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $9.9 million related to the operating lease assets at certain of its retail stores.

−Removed: The fair value estimates developed by the Company, with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist, were sensitive to significant assumptions such as current comparable market rental rates, market rental growth rates, occupancy cost ratios, fixed expenses growth rates and discount rates.
−Removed: Changes in these assumptions could have a significant effect on the fair value of operating lease assets and the related impairment charge recognized.
+Added: At January 31, 2021, the carrying value of the Company’s indefinite-lived trademarks was approximately $443.6 million.
+Added: As discussed in Notes A and H to the consolidated financial statements, indefinite-lived trademarks are assessed for impairment on an annual basis, or whenever impairment indicators exist.
+Added: Auditing certain of the Company’s indefinite-lived trademark impairment assessments was complex and judgmental due to the significant estimation required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived trademarks.
+Added: In particular, the fair value estimates were sensitive to significant assumptions such as the revenue growth rate, royalty rate and discount rate, which are affected by expectations about future market or economic conditions (including the effects of the global pandemic).

−Removed: To test the estimated fair value of the operating lease assets related to retail stores, our audit procedures included, among others, involving our internal valuation specialists to assist in evaluating the methodologies used and significant assumptions described above and testing the completeness and accuracy of the data used in the analyses.
−Removed: For example, our internal valuation specialists performed independent market research to evaluate the appropriateness of the significant assumptions used in the valuation of a sample of leases.
−Removed: This included identifying comparable leases for similar properties taking into consideration the remaining lease term.

+Added: We assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates and performed sensitivity analyses of the significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the indefinite-lived trademarks that would result from changes in the assumptions.
