Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations Levi Strauss & Co. (the “Company”) is one of the world’s largest brand-name apparel companies. The Company designs, markets and sells – directly or through third parties and licensees – products that include jeans, casual and dress pants, activewear, tops, shorts, skirts, dresses, jackets, and related accessories, for men, women and children around the world under the Levi’s®, Levi Strauss Signature™ and Beyond Yoga® brands. In the fourth quarter of 2024 we announced we were undertaking an evaluation of strategic alternatives to the global Dockers® business, including a sale or other strategic transactions. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Dockers® business. On July 31, 2025 the Company sold the Dockers® intellectual property and operations in the U.S. and Canada. The Company sold the remaining Dockers® operations in multiple closings during the first quarter of 2026, with the final closing on February 27, 2026. Dockers® net assets were classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. Additionally, the Company classified the Dockers® business as discontinued operations in its consolidated statements of income for all periods presented. See Note 2 “Discontinued Operations”. The Dockers® business is a separate operating segment historically presented in our financial statements under the caption of Other Brands. The Company operates its business according to three reportable segments: Americas, Europe, and Asia, collectively comprising the Company's Levi's Brands business, which includes the Levi's® and Levi Strauss Signature™ brands. The Beyond Yoga® business, which is managed separately, does not meet the quantitative thresholds for reportable segments but is presented separately to increase transparency of performance. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The interim consolidated financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned foreign and domestic subsidiaries, including the notes, have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) applicable to interim period financial statements and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended November 30, 2025, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2025 (“2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for the three and six months ended May 31, 2026 may not be indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the year ending November 29, 2026. The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday that is closest to November 30 of that year. Each quarter of both fiscal years 2026 and 2025 consists of 13 weeks. All references to years and quarters relate to fiscal years and quarters rather than calendar years and quarters. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Estimates are based upon historical factors, current circumstances and the experience and judgment of the Company’s management. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist in its evaluations. Changes in such estimates, based on more accurate future information, or different assumptions or conditions, may affect amounts reported in future periods. Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may be impaired. Impairment losses are measured and recorded for the excess of carrying value over its fair value, estimated based on expected future cash flows and other quantitative and qualitative factors. Property, plant and equipment, net includes accumulated depreciation of $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion as of May 31, 2026 and November 30, 2025, respectively. Prepaid Expenses Prepaid expenses included in “Other current assets” were $152.9 million and $138.0 million as of May 31, 2026 and November 30, 2025, respectively. Share Repurchases On January 30, 2026, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase transaction with a third-party financial institution (“the ASR Agreement”) to repurchase an aggregate of $200.0 million of the Company’s Class A common stock as part of its share repurchase program. At inception, the Company made an initial payment of $200.0 million and received and immediately retired 7.8 million shares of its Class A common stock, representing 80% of the dollar amount of the transaction, which had an aggregate cost of $160.0 million based on the January 29, 2026 closing share price. The initial shares received, which had an aggregate cost of $155.9 million based on the January 30, 2026 closing share price, were retired and recorded as a reduction of Retained Earnings, with the remainder of $45.1 million recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. The total number of shares the Company will ultimately repurchase will be based on the volume-weighted average price per share of the Company's Class A common stock over the term of the ASR Agreement, less an agreed upon discount, and subject to customary adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR Agreement. Final settlement of the transactions under the ASR Agreement is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2026. No shares were repurchased during the second quarter of 2026. During the six months ended June 1, 2025, the Company repurchased 1.6 million shares for $30.0 million, plus broker's commissions, in the open market. This equates to an average repurchase price of approximately $18.45 per share for the six months ended June 1, 2025. No shares were repurchased during the second quarter of 2025. The Company accounts for share repurchases by charging the excess of the repurchase price over the repurchased Class A common stock’s par value entirely to retained earnings. All repurchased shares are retired and become authorized but unissued shares. The Company accrues for the shares purchased under the share repurchase plan based on the trade date. The Company may terminate or limit the share repurchase program at any time. Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations Assets and liabilities of a business that meet the accounting requirements to be classified as held for sale are separated in a disposal group. Disposal group net assets are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or estimated fair value less expected costs to sell. After being classified as held for sale, assets are not depreciated or amortized. Assets and liabilities of a disposal group that meet the accounting requirements to be classified as discontinued operations are presented separately for all current and prior periods in the consolidated balance sheets. The results of discontinued operations are reported in “Net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes” in the consolidated statements of income for the current and prior periods beginning in the period in which the business meets the held for sale criteria. Net income (loss) from discontinued operations includes direct costs attributable to the business held for sale, and an estimate of costs from corporate functions dedicated to the business, but excludes corporate expenses composed of selling, general and administrative expenses not attributable to any of the operating segments. See Note 2 “Discontinued Operations”. Unless otherwise indicated, the information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements refers only to the Company’s continuing operations. Revenue Recognition Effective in the first quarter of 2026, the Company revised its operating policies and procedures for e-commerce transactions. This change results in revenue being recognized upon shipment rather than upon delivery to the customer, in line with the timing of the transfer of control. The impact of the change was not material to the current period consolidated financial statements. Reclassification Certain amounts on the statements of cash flows have been conformed to the May 31, 2026 presentation. Recently Issued Accounting Standards There have been no developments to recently issued accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures, from those disclosed in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company will adopt ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending November 29, 2026. This new guidance is designed to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
