Revenue Recognition
 
We implemented ASU 
2014
-
09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(Accounting Standards Codification Topic
606,
“ASC
606”
), in the
first
quarter of fiscal
2019
using the cumulative effect approach, which required us to apply the new guidance retrospectively to revenue transactions completed on or after
July 1, 2018.
Adopting this new standard did
not
have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements but did result in enhanced presentation and disclosures.
 
Our revenue consists substantially of product sales. We report product sales net of discounts and recognize them at the point in time when control transfers to the customer. For sales to our customers in our wholesale segment, control typically transfers when the product is shipped. For sales in our retail segment, control generally transfers upon delivery to the customer.
 
Estimated refunds for returns and allowances are recorded using our historical return patterns. Under the new standard, we record estimated refunds for sales returns on a gross basis rather than on a net basis, and have recorded an asset for product we expect to receive from customers in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets”, and a corresponding refund liability in ”accrued expenses and other current liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At
September 30, 2018,
these amounts were
not
material.
 
In many cases we receive deposits from customers before we have transferred control of our product to our customers, resulting in contract liabilities. These contract liabilities (“Customer Deposits”) are reported as within current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. At the beginning of fiscal
2019,
we had
$61.2
million of Customer Deposits. During the quarter ended
September 30, 2018,
we recognized revenue of
$46.7
million related to our Customer Deposits.
 
Upon adoption of ASC
606,
we have elected the following accounting policies and practical expedients:
 
We recognize shipping and handling expense as fulfillment activities (rather than as a promised good or service) when the activities are performed even if those activities are performed after the control of the good has been transferred. Accordingly, we record the expenses for shipping and handling activities at the same time we recognize revenue.
 
We exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the entity from a customer, including sales, use, excise, value-added, and franchise taxes (collectively referred to as sales taxes).
 
We do
not
adjust revenue for the effects of financing components if the contract has a duration of
one
year or less, as we believe that we will receive payment from the customer within
one
year of when we transfer control of the related goods.
