| Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Debt | Debt A summary of the Company’s financing activities are as follows: Revolving Credit Facility On May 24, 2019, Express Holding, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Express Holding”), and its subsidiaries entered into a First Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated $250.0 million Asset-Based Loan Credit Agreement (“Revolving Credit Facility”). The expiration date of the Revolving Credit Facility is May 24, 2024. As of August 3, 2019, there were no borrowings outstanding and approximately $247.0 million was available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid, and reborrowed until May 24, 2024, at which time all amounts borrowed must be repaid. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to either the rate published by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (with a floor of 0%) (the “Eurodollar Rate”) plus an applicable margin rate or the highest of (1) Wells Fargo Bank, National Association’s prime lending rate (with a floor of 0%), (2) 0.50% per annum above the federal funds rate (with a floor of 0%) or (3) 1% above the Eurodollar Rate (the “Base Rate”), in each case plus an applicable margin rate. The applicable margin rate is determined based on excess availability as determined by reference to the borrowing base. The applicable margin rate for Eurodollar Rate-based advances is 1.25% or 1.50% and the applicable margin rate for Base Rate-based advances is 0.25% or 0.50%, in each case, based on the borrowing base. Under certain circumstances, a default interest rate will apply on any overdue amount payable under the Revolving Credit Facility during the existence of an event of default at a per annum rate equal to 2.00% above the applicable interest rate for any overdue principal and 2.0% above the rate applicable for Base Rate-based advances for any other overdue interest. The unused line fee payable under the Revolving Credit Facility is incurred at 0.20% per annum of the average daily unused revolving commitment during each quarter, payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each May, August, November, and February. In the event that (1) an event of default has occurred and is continuing or (2) excess availability plus eligible cash collateral is less than 10.0% of the borrowing base for 5 consecutive days, such unused line fees are payable on the first day of each month. Interest payments under the Revolving Credit Facility are due quarterly on the first day of each May, August, November, and February for Base Rate-based advances, provided, however, in the event that (1) an event of default has occurred and is continuing or (2) excess availability plus eligible cash collateral is less than 10.0% of the borrowing base for 5 consecutive days, interest payments are due on the first day of each month. Interest payments under the Revolving Credit Facility are due on the last day of the interest period for Eurodollar Rate-based advances for interest periods of 1, 2, and 3 months, and additionally every 3 months after the first day of the interest period for Eurodollar Rate-based advances for interest periods of greater than 3 months. The Revolving Credit Facility requires Express Holding and its subsidiaries to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0:1.0 if excess availability plus eligible cash collateral is less than 10.0% of the borrowing base for 15 consecutive days. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility contains customary covenants and restrictions on Express Holding’s and its subsidiaries’ activities, including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, liens, negative pledges, guarantees, investments, loans, asset sales, mergers, acquisitions, prepayment of other debt, distributions, dividends, the repurchase of capital stock, transactions with affiliates, the ability to change the nature of its business or fiscal year, and permitted business activities. All obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by Express Holding and its domestic subsidiaries (that are not borrowers) and secured by a lien on, among other assets, substantially all working capital assets including cash, accounts receivable, and inventory of Express Holding and its domestic subsidiaries. Letters of Credit The Company may enter into stand-by letters of credit (“stand-by LCs”) on an as-needed basis to secure payment obligations for merchandise purchases and other general and administrative expenses. As of both August 3, 2019 and February 2, 2019, outstanding stand-by LCs totaled $3.0 million. |
