BUSINESS
|
|
•
|
Drive the profitable core businesses
. Our core businesses represent the greatest value on a brand, geographic, customer or business-segment basis. These include our men's bottoms business for the Levi's
®
brand globally and the Dockers
®
brand in the United States, including our iconic 501
®
jean and Dockers
®
khaki pant. We also consider our key international markets of France, Germany, Mexico and the United Kingdom, as well as key wholesale accounts globally, to be vital elements of our long-term growth strategies. We manage collaborative relationships with these wholesale accounts to focus on customer support, marketing planning, and inventory levels, in order to achieve mutual commercial success.
|
|
•
|
Expand the reach of our brands and build a more balanced portfolio.
We believe we have opportunities to grow our two largest brands through new or expanded product categories, consumer segments and geographic markets. We are building upon our iconic brands, including our innovative design and marketing expertise, to deepen our connection with consumers and expand the reach and appeal of our brands globally. For example, we believe we can better serve the female consumer, and that there are significant opportunities in tops, outerwear and accessories. We also believe opportunities remain to expand in emerging and underpenetrated geographic markets, including China, India and Russia.
|
|
•
|
Become a world-class omni-channel retailer
. We will continue to grow our direct-to-consumer business in brand-dedicated stores globally, including making selective investments in additional company-operated stores, dedicated ecommerce sites, franchisee and other dedicated store models. We believe these brand-dedicated stores represent an attractive opportunity to establish incremental distribution and sales, as well as to showcase the full breadth of our product offerings and deliver a consistent brand experience to the consumer.
|
|
•
|
Improve our cost structure to achieve operational excellence
. We are focused on operational excellence to improve our long-term profitable growth, including stabilizing the work we have outsourced while delivering the anticipated financial savings, reducing our controllable cost structure and driving efficiencies by streamlining our product development, planning, and go-to-market strategies, implementing efficiencies across retail, supply chain and distribution networks and continuing to pursue practices that result in greater cost efficiencies. We will continue to balance our pursuit of improved organizational agility and marketplace responsiveness with our ongoing cost management efforts to improve the structural economics of the company.
|
|
•
|
We require all third-party contractors and subcontractors who manufacture or finish products for us to comply with our code of conduct relating to supplier working conditions as well as environmental, employment and sourcing practices. We also require our licensees to ensure that their manufacturers comply with our requirements.
|
|
•
|
Our code of conduct covers employment practices such as wages and benefits, working hours, health and safety, working age and discriminatory practices, environmental matters such as wastewater treatment and solid waste disposal, and ethical and legal conduct.
|
|
•
|
We regularly assess manufacturing and finishing facilities through periodic on-site facility inspections and improvement activities, including use of independent monitors to supplement our internal staff. We integrate review and performance results into our sourcing decisions.
|
|
•
|
anticipating and responding to changing consumer demands and apparel trends in a timely manner;
|
|
•
|
developing high-quality, innovative products with relevant designs, fits, finishes, fabrics, style and performance features that meet consumer desires and trends;
|
|
•
|
maintaining favorable and strong brand name recognition and appeal through strong and effective marketing support and intelligence in diverse market segments;
|
|
•
|
securing desirable retail locations and presenting products effectively at company-operated retail and franchised and other brand-dedicated stores;
|
|
•
|
ensuring product availability at wholesale and direct-to-consumer channels, and at franchised and other brand-dedicated stores;
|
|
•
|
optimizing supply chain cost efficiencies and product development cycle lead times;
|
|
•
|
delivering compelling value for the price of our products in diverse market segments; and
|
|
•
|
generating competitive economics for wholesale customers, including retailers, franchisees, and distributors.
|
|
Item 1A.
|
RISK FACTORS
|
|
•
|
result in reduced gross margins across our product lines;
|
|
•
|
increase retailer demands for allowances, incentives and other forms of economic support; and
|
|
•
|
increase pressure on us to reduce our production costs and our operating expenses.
|
|
•
|
actual or perceived disruption of service or reduction in service levels to wholesale customers and retail consumers;
|
|
•
|
potential adverse effects on our internal control environment and inability to preserve adequate internal controls relating to our general and administrative functions in connection with the decision to outsource certain business service activities;
|
|
•
|
actual or perceived disruption to suppliers, distribution networks and other important operational relationships and the inability to resolve potential conflicts in a timely manner;
|
|
•
|
diversion of management attention from ongoing business activities and strategic objectives; and
|
|
•
|
failure to maintain employee morale and retain key employees.
|
|
•
|
the retailers in these channels maintain – and seek to grow – substantial private-label and exclusive offerings as they strive to differentiate the brands and products they offer from those of their competitors;
|
|
•
|
these retailers may also change their apparel strategies in a way that shifts focus away from our typical consumer or that otherwise results in a reduction of sales of our products generally, a reduction of fixture spaces or purchases of brands misaligned with their strategic requirements;
|
|
•
|
other channels, including vertically integrated specialty stores and ecommerce sites, account for a substantial portion of jeanswear and casual wear sales. In some of our mature markets, these stores have placed competitive pressure on our primary distribution channels, and many of these stores are now looking to our developing markets to grow their business; or
|
|
•
|
shrinking points of distribution, including fewer doors at our customer locations, or bankruptcy or financial difficulties of a customer.
|
|
•
|
currency fluctuations, which have impacted our results of operations significantly in recent years;
|
|
•
|
political, economic and social instability;
|
|
•
|
changes in tariffs and taxes;
|
|
•
|
regulatory restrictions on repatriating foreign funds back to the United States; and
|
|
•
|
less protective foreign laws relating to intellectual property.
|
|
•
|
increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
|
|
•
|
limiting our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business and industry;
|
|
•
|
placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to some of our competitors that have less debt; and
|
|
•
|
limiting our ability to obtain additional financing required to fund working capital and capital expenditures and for other general corporate purposes.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
|
•
|
Factors that impact consumer discretionary spending, which remains mixed globally, have created a challenging retail environment for us and our customers, characterized by declining traffic patterns and contributing to a generally promotional environment. In developed economies, slow real wage growth and a shift in consumer spending to interest-rate sensitive durable goods and other non-apparel categories also continue to pressure global discretionary spending. Given consumers' increasing focus on value pricing amid the slowly recovering economy, the off-price retail channel remains strong, partially to the detriment of traditional broadline retailers, particularly at the mid-tier.
|
|
•
|
More competitors are seeking growth globally, thereby raising the competitiveness across regions. Some of these competitors are entering into markets where we already have a mature business such as the United States, Mexico, Western Europe and Japan, and those new brands may provide consumers discretionary purchase alternatives or lower-priced apparel offerings.
|
|
•
|
Wholesaler/retailer dynamics and wholesale channels remain challenged by slowed growth prospects due to increased competition from vertically-integrated specialty stores, fast-fashion retail, and ecommerce shopping, and pricing transparency enabled by proliferation of online technologies. As a result, many of our customers desire increased returns on their investment with us through increased margins and inventory turns, and they continue to build competitive exclusive or private-label offerings. Many apparel wholesalers, including us, seek to strengthen relationships with customers as a result of these changes in the marketplace through efforts such as investment in new products, marketing programs, fixtures and collaborative planning systems.
|
|
•
|
Many apparel companies that have traditionally relied on wholesale distribution channels have invested in expanding their own retail store and ecommerce distribution and consumer-facing technologies, which has increased competition in the retail market.
|
|
•
|
Competition for, and price volatility of, resources throughout the supply chain have increased, causing us and other apparel manufacturers to continue to seek alternative sourcing channels and create new efficiencies in our global supply chain. Trends affecting the supply chain include the proliferation of lower-cost sourcing alternatives, resulting in reduced barriers to entry for new competitors, and the impact of fluctuating prices of labor and raw materials. Trends such as these can bring additional pressure on us and other wholesalers and retailers to shorten lead-times, reduce costs and raise product prices.

While currency values are in constant flux, we expect that the appreciation of the U.S. Dollar against various foreign currencies, particularly the Euro, British Pound, Yen and Mexican Peso, will continue to impact our financial results, affecting translation, revenue and operating margins, as well as traffic in stores located in or near major domestic tourist attractions.
|
|
•
|
Recent sociopolitical events, including the results of the November 2016 U.S. election, and the Brexit decision, have introduced greater uncertainty with respect to future tax and trade regulations. Changes in tax policy or trade regulations, including import tariffs, could have material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
|

•
|
Net revenues.
Compared to
2015
, consolidated net revenues increased by
1%
on a reported basis and increased by
3%
on a constant-currency basis, driven by higher retail revenues from the expansion and improved performance of our retail network performance in all three regions, partially offset by a decline in wholesale revenues in the United States.
|
|
•
|
Operating income
. Compared to
2015
, consolidated operating income increased by
7%
and operating margin improved to
10%
, primarily reflecting lower restructuring and restructuring-related charges in 2016 and an improvement in our constant-currency gross margin, partially offset by increased investment in retail and the effects of currency.
|
|
•
|
Cash flows.
Cash flows provided by operating activities were
$307 million
for
2016
as compared to
$218 million
for
2015
; the increase reflects higher trade receivable collections and lower payments associated with restructuring-related items and interest, offset by increased inventory levels.
|
|
•
|
Net revenues is primarily comprised of sales of products to wholesale customers, including franchised stores, and direct sales to consumers at our company-operated ecommerce sites and stores and at our company-operated shop-in-shops located within department stores. It includes discounts, allowances for estimated returns and incentives. Net revenues also include royalties earned from the use of our trademarks by third-party licensees in connection with the manufacturing, advertising and distribution of trademarked products.
|
|
•
|
Cost of goods sold is primarily comprised of product costs, labor and related overhead, sourcing costs, inbound freight, internal transfers, and the cost of operating our remaining manufacturing facilities, including the related depreciation expense.
|
|
•
|
Selling costs include, among other things, all occupancy costs and depreciation associated with our company-operated stores and commissions associated with our company-operated shop-in-shops, as well as costs associated with our ecommerce operations.
|
|
•
|
We reflect substantially all distribution costs in SG&A, including costs related to receiving and inspection at distribution centers, warehousing, shipping to our customers, handling, and certain other activities associated with our distribution network.

Currency translation unfavorably affected operating income in the region by approximately
$8 million
as compared to the prior year. Lower constant-currency operating income and operating margin primarily reflected lower revenues and gross margin as well as increased investment in retail.

Europe.
Currency translation favorably affected operating income by approximately
$1 million
as compared to the prior year. Operating income increased primarily due to the region's higher net revenues, partially offset by increased investment in retail in the region and the unfavorable currency transaction impact of the British Pound. Operating margin remained consistent.

Higher constant-currency operating income and operating margin primarily reflected an improvement in the region's gross margin, partially offset by increased investment in retail and advertising and lower net revenues in the region.

Interest obligations are computed using constant interest rates until maturity.
|

(2)
|
Amounts reflect contractual obligations relating to our existing leased facilities as of
November 27, 2016
, and therefore do not reflect our planned future openings of company-operated retail stores. For more information, see “Item 2 – Properties.”
|
|
(3)
|
Amounts reflect estimated commitments of
$468 million
for inventory purchases,
$203 million
for sponsorship, naming rights and related benefits with respect to the Levi's
®
Stadium,
$220 million
for human resources, advertising, information technology and other professional services.

|
The amounts presented in the table represent an estimate for the next ten years of our projected payments, based on information provided by our plans' actuaries, and have not been reduced by estimated Medicare subsidy receipts, the amounts of which are not material. Our policy is to fund postretirement benefits as claims and premiums are paid. For more information, see Note
8
to our audited consolidated financial statements included in this report.
|
|
(5)
|
The amounts presented in the table represent an estimate of our projected contributions to the plans for the next ten years based on information provided by our plans' actuaries. For U.S. qualified plans, these estimates can exceed the projected annual minimum required contributions in an effort to level out potential future funding requirements and provide annual funding flexibility. The
2017
contribution amounts will be recalculated at the end of the plans' fiscal years, which for our U.S. pension plan is at the beginning of the Company's third fiscal quarter. Accordingly, actual contributions may differ materially from those presented here, based on factors such as changes in discount rates and the valuation of pension assets. For more information, see Note
8
to our audited consolidated financial statements included in this report.
|
|
(6)
|
Long-term employee-related benefits primarily relate to the current and non-current portion of deferred compensation arrangements and workers' compensation. We estimated these payments based on prior experience and forecasted activity for these items. For more information, see Note
12
to our audited consolidated financial statements included in this report.

ASU No. 2015-11,
"Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,"
clarifies that, for inventories measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, net realizable value should be determined based on the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this new accounting standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
|
|
•
|
ASU No. 2016-09,
"Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)"
simplifies accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2014-09,
"Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),"
outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-14,
"Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date," ("ASU 2015-14"
). The amendment in this update defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Additional ASUs have been issued that are part of the overall new revenue guidance including: ASU No. 2016-08: "
Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)
", ASU No. 2016-10: "
Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing"
and ASU 2016-12: "
Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients".
The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting these new revenue accounting standards will have on its consolidated financial statements.
|
|
•
|
ASU No. 2016-04, "
Liabilities - Extinguishment of Liabilities (Subtopic 405-20): Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products
" aligns recognition of prepaid stored-value product financial liabilities (for example, prepaid gift cards), with Topic 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers, for non-financial liabilities. In general, certain of these liabilities may be extinguished proportionally in earnings as redemptions occur, or when redemption is remote if issuers are not entitled to the unredeemed stored value. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
|
|
•
|
ASU No. 2016-15, "
Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
" designates the appropriate cash flow classification for debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, the maturing of a zero coupon bond, the settlement of contingent liabilities arising from a business combination, proceeds from insurance settlements, distributions from certain equity method investees and beneficial interests obtained in a financial asset securitization. In certain circumstances, transactions may require bifurcation to appropriately allocate components among operating, investing and financing activities. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
|
|
•
|
ASU No. 2016-16,
"Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory,"
requires that the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory be recorded when the transfer occurs. Under this guidance, current income taxes and deferred income taxes will move when assets (such as intellectual property and property, plant and equipment) are transferred between consolidated subsidiaries. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
|
|
•
|
ASU No. 2016-18, "
Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash"
, requires that restricted cash be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown in the statement of cash flows. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
|
|
•
|
ASU No. 2016-02, "
Leases (Topic 842
)" requires the identification of arrangements that should be accounted for as leases by lessees. In general, for operating or financing lease arrangements exceeding a twelve month term, a right-of-use asset and a lease obligation will be recognized on the balance sheet of the lessee while the income statement will reflect lease expense for operating leases and amortization/interest expense for financing leases. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
|
|
•
|
ASU No. 2016-13, "
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments"
amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology. This will result in the more timely recognition of losses. ASU No. 2016-13 also applies to employee benefit plan accounting, with an effective date of the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and employee benefit plans’ accounting.

The decrease in interest cost is primarily due to the election made at the end of 2015 to adopt the spot-rate approach to determine the interest cost component of pension and postretirement expense.
|
|
(2)
|
Actuarial losses in 2016 in the Company's pension benefit plans resulted from changes in discount rate assumptions. Actuarial gains in 2015 in the Company's pension benefit plans resulted from changes in mortality and discount rate assumptions, primarily for the Company's U.S. plans. Changes in financial markets during
2016
and
2015
, including a decrease and increase, respectively, in corporate bond yield indices, resulted in an increase and decrease in benefit obligations, respectively.
|
|
(3)
|
The decrease in pension plan settlements in 2016 was primarily due to 2015 settlement activity that continued to reflect impacts from restructuring.
|
|
(4)
|
The increase in return on plan assets in 2016 was primarily due to better-than-expected asset performance, as compared to the poor investment performance in 2015, of U.S. and international equity securities.

|
|

Each executive is eligible to receive an annual performance-based SAR award. Performance-based SARs give the executive the right (subject to HR Committee discretion to reduce but not increase awards beyond the maximum opportunity) to vest in a number of SARs based on achievement against performance goals over a three-year performance period. Actual shares that will vest, if any, will vary based on achievement of the performance goals at the end of the three years. The three-year performance period was designed to discourage short-term risk taking and reinforce the link between the interests of our stockholders and our executives over the long-term.
|
|
•
|
50% of the number of actual performance-based SARs that vest at the end of three years is based on the following two internal performance metrics: 1) the Company's average margin of net earnings over the three-year period adjusted for certain items such as interest and taxes, and 2) the target compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) in the Company's net revenues over the three-year period covering fiscal
2016
through fiscal
2018
. The potential payout range as a percentage of this portion of the target award is 0% to 150%.
|
|
•
|
The remaining 50% of the number of actual performance-based SARs that vest is based on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) over the three-year period covering fiscal
2016
through fiscal
2018
relative to the expanded peer group approved by the HR Committee in February 2016 as listed above under "Competitive peer group". The potential payout range as a percentage of this portion of the target award is 0% to 150%.
|
|
•
|
If earned at target, 100% of the performance-based SARs vest at the end of the three-year performance period.

The amounts shown in these columns reflect the estimated potential payment levels for the fiscal
2016
performance period under the Company’s annual incentive plan (the "AIP"), further described under "Compensation Discussion and Analysis for Named Executive Officers." The potential payouts were performance-based and, therefore, were completely at risk. The potential target and maximum payment amounts assume achievement of 100% and 200%, respectively, of the individual objectives of the AIP. Each executive received a bonus under the AIP, which is reported in the Summary Compensation Table under the column entitled "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation."
|
|
(2)
|
For each executive, the amounts shown in these columns reflect, in shares, the target and maximum amounts for performance-based SARs subject to a three-year performance period beginning in fiscal
2016
that is further described under "Compensation Discussion and Analysis for Named Executive Officers." The potential awards are performance-based and, therefore, completely at risk.
|
|
(3)
|
Reflects service-based SARs granted in
2016
under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan.
|
|
(4)
|
The exercise price is based on the fair market value of the Company's common stock as of the grant date established by the Evercore valuation process.
|
|
(5)
|
The value of an option award, which is granted in the form of SARs, is based on the fair value as of the grant date of such award determined in accordance with FASB ASC 718. Please refer to Note 1 and Note 11 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in this report for the relevant assumptions used to determine the valuation of our option awards. Values for future payouts of performance-based SARs reflect the aggregate grant date fair value based on target award achievement. If maximum performance conditions are achieved over the entire three-year period, the grant date fair values would be $3,928,052 for Mr. Bergh, $847,319 for Mr. Singh, $601,106 for Ms. Ask, $438,798 and $1,051,948 for Mr. Bagattini, and $438,798 for Mr. Ellison.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
|
|
•
|
First, once a year when the base audit engagement is reviewed and approved, management will identify all other services (including fee ranges) for which management knows or believes it will engage our independent registered public accounting firm for the next 12 months. Those services typically include quarterly reviews, statutory audits, specified tax matters, certifications to the lenders as required by financing documents, and consultation on new accounting and disclosure standards.
|
|
•
|
Second, if any new proposed engagement comes up during the year that was not pre-approved by the Audit Committee as discussed above, the engagement will require: (i) specific approval of the chief financial officer and corporate controller (including confirming with counsel permissibility under applicable laws and evaluating potential impact on independence) and, if approved by management, (ii) approval of the Audit Committee.
|
|
•
|
Third, the chair of the Audit Committee will have the authority to give such approval, but may seek full Audit Committee input and approval in specific cases as he or she may determine.
