SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLANS
- SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company maintains the Abercrombie & Fitch Co. Savings and Retirement Plan, a qualified plan. All U.S. associates are eligible to participate in this plan if they are at least 21 years of age. In addition, the Company maintains the Abercrombie & Fitch Nonqualified Savings and Supplemental Retirement Plan, comprised of two sub-plans (Plan I and Plan II). Plan I contains contributions made through December 31, 2004, while Plan II contains contributions made on and after January 1, 2005. Participation in these plans is based on service and compensation. The Company’s contributions to these plans are based on a percentage of associates’ eligible annual compensation. The cost of the Company’s contributions to these plans was $18.0 million, $16.9 million and $14.7 million for Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022, respectively.
In addition, the Company maintains the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, which provides retirement income to its former Chief Executive Officer for life, based on averaged compensation before retirement, including base salary and cash incentive compensation. As of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, the Company had recorded $6.1 million and $6.7 million, respectively, in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets related to Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan distributions.
- SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company’s reportable segments are based on the financial information the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) uses to allocate resources and assess performance of its business.
During the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, to leverage the knowledge and experience of our regional teams to better drive brand growth, the Company reorganized its structure and now manages its business on a geographic basis, consisting ofthree reportable segments: Americas; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA); and Asia-Pacific (APAC). Corporate functions and other income and expenses are evaluated on a consolidated basis and are not allocated to the Company’s segments, and therefore are included as a reconciling item between segment and total operating income (loss). The Americas reportable segment includes the results of operations in North America and South America. The EMEA reportable segment includes the results of operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The APAC reportable segment includes the results of operations in the Asia-Pacific region, including Asia and Oceania. Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at cost and are treated as a transfer of inventory. All intercompany revenues are eliminated in consolidation and are not reviewed when evaluating segment performance. All prior periods presented are recast to conform to the new segment presentation.
The group comprised of the Company’s (i) Chief Executive Officer, (ii) Chief Operating Officer, and (iii) Chief Financial Officer functions as the Company’s CODM. The Company’s CODM manages business operations and evaluates the performance of each segment based on the net sales and operating income (loss) of the segment. The CODM considers actual performance relative to expectations, and growth potential to determine the appropriate allocation of resources to each segment.
Net sales by segment are presented by attributing revenues on the basis of the segment that fulfills the order. Operating income (loss) for each segment includes net sales to third parties, related cost of sales and operating expenses directly attributed to the segment. Corporate/other expenses include expenses incurred that are not directly attributed to a reportable segment and primarily relate to corporate or global functions such as design, sourcing, brand management, corporate strategy, information technology, finance, treasury, legal, human resources, and other corporate support services, as well as certain globally managed components of the planning, merchandising, and marketing functions.
The Company reports inventories by segment as that information is used by the CODM in determining allocation of resources to the segments. The Company does not report its other assets by segment as that information is not used by the CODM in assessing segment performance or allocating resources.
The following tables provide the Company’s segment information as of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, and for Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022.
