2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim financial statements of BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP").

The consolidated balance sheet as of January 30, 2021 is derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. The unaudited results of operations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 are not necessarily indicative of future results or results to be expected for fiscal year 2021. The Company’s business, in common with the business of retailers generally, is subject to seasonal influences. The Company’s sales and operating income have typically been highest in the fourth quarter holiday season and lowest in the first quarter of each fiscal year.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2020, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 19, 2021.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

The accounting policies the Company follows are set forth in its audited financial statements for fiscal year 2020. There have been no material changes to these accounting policies, except as noted below for new accounting pronouncements adopted at the beginning of fiscal year 2021.

Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12)

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). This standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification 740 related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The standard also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted this standard as of January 31, 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 - Revenue Recognition

3 Months Ended

May 01, 2021

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block]

3. Revenue Recognition

Performance Obligations

The Company identifies each distinct performance obligation to transfer goods (or bundle of goods) or services. The Company recognizes revenue as it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the goods or services to the customer.

Net sales—The Company recognizes net sales at clubs and gas stations when the customer takes possession of the goods and tenders payment. Point of sale transactions at the Company’s clubs and gas stations, excluding sales taxes, represented approximately 93% of the Company’s net sales and approximately 91% of the Company’s total revenues for the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 2021. Sales taxes are recorded as a liability at the point of sale. Revenue is recorded at the point of sale based on the transaction price on the shelf sign, net of any applicable discounts, sales taxes and expected refunds. For e-commerce sales, the Company recognizes sales when control of the merchandise is transferred to the customer, which is typically at the shipping point.

BJ’s Perks Rewards and My BJ's Perks programs—The Company’s BJ’s Perks Rewards^® membership program allows participating members to earn 2% cash back, up to a maximum of $500 per year, on qualified purchases made at BJ’s. The Company also offers a co-branded credit card program, the My BJ’s Perks^® program, which allows My BJ's Perks^® Mastercard credit card holders to earn up to 5% cash back on eligible purchases made at BJ’s and up to 2% cash back on purchases made with the card outside of BJ’s. Cash back has been in the form of electronic awards issued in $10 increments that may be used online or in-club at the register and expire six months from the date issued.

Earned awards may be redeemed on future purchases made at the Company. The Company recognizes revenue for earned awards when customers redeem such awards as part of a purchase at one of the Company’s clubs or the Company’s website. The Company accounts for these transactions as multiple element arrangements and allocates the transaction price to separate performance obligations using their relative fair values. The Company includes the fair value of award dollars earned in deferred revenue at the time the award dollars are earned. This liability was $24.8 million at May 1, 2021, $25.5 million at January 30, 2021 and $28.6 million at May 2, 2020.

Royalty revenue received in connection with the My BJ's Perks co-brand credit card program is variable consideration and is considered deferred until the card holder makes a purchase. The Company’s total deferred royalty revenue related to the outstanding My BJ’s Perks Rewards was $18.0 million, $13.5 million and $14.8 million at May 1, 2021, January 30, 2021 and May 2, 2020, respectively. The timing of revenue recognition of these awards dollars is driven by actual customer activities, such as redemptions and expirations. As of May 1, 2021, the Company expects to recognize $12.8 million of the deferred revenue in fiscal year 2021 and expects the remainder to be recognized in the years thereafter.

Membership—The Company charges a membership fee to its customers. That fee allows customers to shop in the Company’s clubs, shop on the Company’s website and purchase gasoline at the Company’s gas stations for the duration of the membership, which is generally 12 months. Because the Company has the obligation to provide access to its clubs, website and gas stations for the duration of the membership term, the Company recognizes membership fees on a straight-line basis over the life of the membership. The Company’s deferred revenue related to membership fees was $167.8 million, $155.6 million and $157.6 million at May 1, 2021, January 30, 2021 and May 2, 2020, respectively.

Gift Card Program—The Company sells BJ’s gift cards in both physical and digital format, which allow customers to redeem the card for future purchases equal to the amount of the original purchase price of the gift card. Revenue from gift card sales is recognized in proportion to its rate of gift card redemptions because the Company’s performance obligation to redeem the gift card for merchandise is satisfied when the gift card is redeemed. The Company also recognizes breakage in proportion to its rate of gift card redemptions. Deferred revenue related to gift cards was $9.6 million, $10.3 million and $9.8 million at May 1, 2021, January 30, 2021 and May 2, 2020, respectively. The Company recognized $8.8 million and $10.2 million of revenue from gift card redemptions in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 and first quarter of fiscal year 2020, respectively.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company’s club retail operations, which represent substantially all of its consolidated total revenues, are the Company’s only reportable segment. All the Company’s identifiable assets are in the United States. The Company does not have significant sales outside the United States, nor does any customer represent more than 10% of total revenues for any period presented.

The following table summarizes the Company's percentage of net sales disaggregated by category:

	*Thirteen Weeks Ended*
	*May 1, 2021*			*May 2, 2020*
Grocery		72	%		81	%
General Merchandise & Services		15	%		11	%
Gasoline and Other		13	%		8	%

The entire disclosure of revenue from contract with customer to transfer good or service and to transfer nonfinancial asset. Includes, but is not limited to, disaggregation of revenue, credit loss recognized from contract with customer, judgment and change in judgment related to contract with customer, and asset recognized from cost incurred to obtain or fulfill contract with customer. Excludes insurance and lease contracts.

4. Debt and Credit Arrangements

The following table summarizes the Company's debt (in thousands):

	May 1, 2021			January 30, 2021			May 2, 2020
ABL Facility	$	260,000		$	310,000		$	50,000
First Lien Term Loan		701,920			801,920			1,311,919

Long-term debt	$	747,311		$	846,175		$	1,334,795

ABL Facility

The ABL Facility is comprised of a $950.0 million revolving credit facility and a $50.0 million term loan. The ABL Facility is secured on a senior basis by certain "liquid assets" of the Company and secured on a junior basis by certain "fixed assets" of the Company. The $50.0 million term loan payment terms are restricted in that the term loan cannot be repaid unless all loans outstanding under the revolving credit facility are repaid, and once repaid, cannot be re-borrowed. The availability under the $950.0 million revolving credit facility is restricted based on eligible monthly merchandise inventories and receivables, as defined in the agreement governing the ABL Facility (the "ABL Facility Agreement"). As amended, interest on the revolving credit facility is calculated either at LIBOR plus a range of 125 to 175 basis points or a base rate plus a range of 25 to 75 basis points; and interest on the term loan is calculated at LIBOR plus a range of 200 to 250 basis points or a base rate plus a range of 100 to 150 basis points, in all cases based on excess availability. The applicable spread of LIBOR and base rate loans at all levels of excess availability steps down by 12.5 basis points upon achieving total net leverage of 3.00 to 1.00. The ABL Facility also provides a sub-facility for issuances of letters of credit subject to certain fees defined in the ABL Facility Agreement. The ABL Facility is subject to various commitment fees during the term of the facility based on utilization of the revolving credit facility, which is scheduled to mature on August 17, 2023. On April 30, 2021, the Company used $50.0 million of cash and cash equivalents to pay down amounts outstanding on the ABL Facility.

At May 1, 2021, there was $ 260.0 million outstanding in loans under the ABL Facility and $15.5 million in outstanding letters of credit. As of May 1, 2021, the interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 1.24%, the interest rate of the term loan loan was 2.11% and unused capacity was $650.4 million.

At January 30, 2021, there was $310.0 million outstanding in loans under the ABL Facility and $15.0 million in outstanding letters of credit. The ABL Facility Agreement provides for a stepdown in the interest rate upon the achievement of certain debt ratings upgrades, which were achieved in July 2020. As of January 30, 2021, the interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 1.25%, the interest rate of the term loan loan was 2.14% and unused capacity was $641.1 million.

At May 2, 2020, there was $50.0 million outstanding in loans under the ABL Facility and $22.1 million in outstanding letters of credit. As of May 2, 2020, the interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 1.45%, the interest rate of the term loan loan was 2.98% and unused capacity was $770.6 million.

First Lien Term Loan

The Company's First Lien Term Loan matures on February 3, 2024. Voluntary prepayments are permitted. Principal payments must be made on the First Lien Term Loan pursuant to an annual excess cash flow calculation when the net leverage ratio exceeds 3.50 to 1.00. The First Lien Term Loan is subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants but no financial covenants. It is secured on a senior basis by certain "fixed assets" of the Company and on a junior basis by certain "liquid" assets of the Company.

On January 29, 2020, the Company amended its First Lien Term Loan to reduce the applicable interest rates. As amended, the First Lien Term Loan had an initial principal amount of $1,315.2 million and interest is calculated either at LIBOR plus 225 basis points or a base rate plus 125 basis points, and provided for a 25 basis point step down in the interest rate upon the achievement of certain debt ratings upgrades. Total fees associated with the refinancing were approximately $1.7 million. The Company expensed $0.1 million of previously capitalized debt issuance costs and original issue discount and expensed $1.7 million of new third-party fees.

On July 13, 2020, the Company paid $150.0 million of the principal amount due on the First Lien Term Loan. In connection with the payment, the Company expensed $1.3 million of previously capitalized deferred debt issuance costs and original issue discount. On July 29, 2020, upon the achievement of certain credit ratings upgrades, the base rate was reduced to LIBOR plus 200 basis points.

On October 30, 2020, the Company borrowed $260.0 million from the ABL Facility. The proceeds from the Company's borrowing and $100.0 million of the Company's cash and cash equivalents were used to pay $360.0 million of the principal amount due on the First Lien Term Loan. In connection with the payment, the Company expensed $2.8 million of previously capitalized debt issuance costs and original issue discount.

On April 30, 2021, the Company used $100.0 million of cash and cash equivalents to pay $100.0 million of the principal amount due on the First Lien Term Loan. In connection with the payment, the Company expensed $0.7 million of previously capitalized debt issuance costs and original issue discount.

Interest rates for the First Lien Term Loan were 2.11%, 2.13% and 3.08% at May 1, 2021, January 30, 2021 and May 2, 2020, respectively.

The entire disclosure for information about short-term and long-term debt arrangements, which includes amounts of borrowings under each line of credit, note payable, commercial paper issue, bonds indenture, debenture issue, own-share lending arrangements and any other contractual agreement to repay funds, and about the underlying arrangements, rationale for a classification as long-term, including repayment terms, interest rates, collateral provided, restrictions on use of assets and activities, whether or not in compliance with debt covenants, and other matters important to users of the financial statements, such as the effects of refinancing and noncompliance with debt covenants.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Text Block]

7. Stock Incentive Plans

On June 13, 2018, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and its stockholders approved, the BJ's Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. 2018 Incentive Award Plan (the "2018 Plan"). The 2018 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, restricted stock, dividend equivalents, stock payments, restricted stock units, performance shares, other incentive awards, stock appreciation rights, and cash awards. Prior to the adoption of the 2018 Plan, the Company granted stock-based compensation to employees and non-employee directors, respectively, under the Fourth Amended and Restated 2011 Stock Option Plan of BJ's Wholesale Club, Inc. (f/k/a Beacon Holding Inc.), as amended (the "2011 Plan") and the 2012 Director Stock Option Plan of BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a Beacon Holding, Inc.), as amended (the "2012 Director Plan"). No further grants will be made under the 2011 Plan or the 2012 Director Plan.

The 2018 Plan authorizes the issuance of 13,148,058 shares, including 985,369 shares that were reserved but not issued under the 2011 Plan and the 2012 Director Plan. If an award under the 2018 Plan, the 2011 Plan or the 2012 Director Plan is forfeited, expires or is settled for cash, any shares subject to such award may, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration or cash settlement, be used again for new grants under the 2018 Plan. Additionally, shares tendered or withheld to satisfy grant or exercise price, or tax withholding obligations associated with an award under the 2018 Plan, the 2011 Plan or the 2012 Director Plan will be added to the shares authorized for grant under the 2018 Plan. The following shares may not be used again for grant under the 2018 Plan: (1) shares subject to a stock appreciation right ("SAR") that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the SAR upon its exercise and (2) shares purchased on the open market with the cash proceeds from the exercise of options under the 2018 Plan, 2011 Plan or 2012 Director Plan. As of May 1, 2021, there were 5,470,034 shares available for future issuance under the 2018 Plan.

On April 16, 2021, the Compensation Committee approved a modification to the equity awards agreements under the 2011 Plan, 2012 Director Plan and 2018 Plan. In the event that an employee is terminated due to death, or disability, the modified equity award agreements provide for: (i) full vesting of all time-based awards, including restricted stock awards and stock options, (ii) pro-rata vesting of all performance-based awards, including performance share units, based on actual performance as of the end of the applicable performance period, pro-rated based on the period of employment during the applicable performance period, and (iii) the extension of the post-termination exercise window for vested stock options.

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock award activity during the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 2021 (shares in thousands):

Stock-based compensation expense was $27.3 million and $5.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 2021 and May 2, 2020, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense in the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 2021 included $17.5 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the modification of stock awards associated with the passing of the former President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Lee Delaney.

On June 14, 2018, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and its stockholders approved, the BJ's Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc.

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]

8. Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate is based on estimated income from continuing operations for the fiscal year, as well as discrete adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods. The Company projects the estimated annual effective tax rate for fiscal year 2021 to be 26.7%, excluding the tax effect of discrete events, such as excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, changes in tax legislation, settlements of tax audits and changes in uncertain tax positions, among others.

The Company’s effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 23.7% and 21.5% for the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 2021 and May 2, 2020, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is due to lower excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 and favorable, permanent true-ups in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020.

We are subject to taxation in the U.S. federal and various state taxing jurisdictions. In general, the Company’s tax years from 2016 forward remain open and subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and various state taxing authorities; however, certain ongoing state audits and appeals relate to periods prior to 2016.

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

9. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date or “exit price.” The inputs used to measure fair value are generally classified into the following hierarchy:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not observable for the asset or liability.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments are based on quotes received from third-party banks and represent the estimated amount the Company would pay to terminate the agreements taking into consideration current interest rates as well as the creditworthiness of the counterparties. These inputs are considered to be Level 2.

Financial Assets and Liabilities

The gross carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s debt at May 1, 2021 are as follows (in thousands):

	*Carrying Amount*		*Fair Value*
First Lien Term Loan	$	701,920	$	701,042
ABL Facility		260,000		260,000
Total Debt	$	961,920	$	961,042

The gross carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s debt at January 30, 2021 are as follows (in thousands):

	*Carrying Amount*		*Fair Value*
First Lien Term Loan	$	801,920	$	802,256
ABL Facility		310,000		310,000
Total Debt	$	1,111,920	$	1,112,256

The gross carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s debt at May 2, 2020 are as follows (in thousands):

	*Carrying Amount*		*Fair Value*
First Lien Term Loan	$	1,311,919	$	1,268,758
ABL Facility		50,000		50,000
Total Debt	$	1,361,919	$	1,318,758

The fair value of debt was based on quoted market prices and on borrowing rates available to the Company as of May 1, 2021, January 30, 2021 and May 2, 2020. These inputs are considered to be Level 2.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company measures certain non-financial assets and liabilities, including long-lived assets, at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

The Company believes that the carrying amounts of its other financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, approximates their carrying value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The entire disclosure for the fair value of financial instruments (as defined), including financial assets and financial liabilities (collectively, as defined), and the measurements of those instruments as well as disclosures related to the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities. Such disclosures about the financial instruments, assets, and liabilities would include: (1) the fair value of the required items together with their carrying amounts (as appropriate); (2) for items for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, disclosure would include: (a) information pertinent to estimating fair value (including, carrying amount, effective interest rate, and maturity, and (b) the reasons why it is not practicable to estimate fair value; (3) significant concentrations of credit risk including: (a) information about the activity, region, or economic characteristics identifying a concentration, (b) the maximum amount of loss the entity is exposed to based on the gross fair value of the related item, (c) policy for requiring collateral or other security and information as to accessing such collateral or security, and (d) the nature and brief description of such collateral or security; (4) quantitative information about market risks and how such risks are managed; (5) for items measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis information regarding the inputs used to develop the fair value measurement; and (6) for items presented in the financial statement for which fair value measurement is elected: (a) information necessary to understand the reasons for the election, (b) discussion of the effect of fair value changes on earnings, (c) a description of [similar groups] items for which the election is made and the relation thereof to the balance sheet, the aggregate carrying value of items included in the balance sheet that are not eligible for the election; (7) all other required (as defined) and desired information.

11. Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Swaps

On November 13, 2018, the Company entered into three forward starting interest rate swaps (the "interest rate swaps"), which became effective on February 13, 2019. The Company had fixed the LIBOR component of $1.2 billion of its floating rate debt at a rate of approximately 3.0% from February 13, 2019 to February 13, 2022.

On October 30, 2020, the Company borrowed $260.0 million from the ABL Facility. The proceeds from the Company's borrowing, as well as $100.0 million of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, were used to pay $360.0 million of the principal amount due on the First Lien Term Loan. Due to the payment of debt principal on the First Lien Term Loan, the Company determined that certain interest payments are no longer probable and that a portion of one of the interest rate swap agreements would be ineffective as a result of the payment of debt, and as such, reclassified $3.7 million of losses recorded in other comprehensive income to interest expense, net of tax.

On November 10, 2020, the Company terminated one of the interest rate swaps, which fixed $360.0 million of its floating rate debt at a rate of approximately 3.0%. An additional interest rate swap, which fixed $240.0 million of its floating rate debt at a rate of 3.0%, was determined to be ineffective. Gains and losses on the ineffective interest rate swap agreement will be recorded as interest expense.

On April 30, 2021, the Company used $150.0 million of its cash and cash equivalents to pay $100.0 million of the principal amount due on the First Lien Term Loan and $50.0 million of the outstanding amounts on the ABL Facility. The Company accelerated the release of unrealized losses to earnings on the ineffective interest rate swap agreements and reclassified $4.7 million of losses recorded in other comprehensive income to interest expense, net of tax.

The interest rate swaps were recorded as a liability of $20.2 million and $26.4 million at May 1, 2021 and January 30, 2021, respectively, with the net of tax amount for the effective and ineffective interest rate swaps recorded in other comprehensive income and interest expense, respectively. The interest rate swaps are recorded as a liability of $59.8 million at May 2, 2020, with the net of tax amount recorded in other comprehensive loss.

The Company elected hedge accounting for the interest rate swap agreements, and as such, the effective portion of the gains or losses was recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and the ineffective portion of gains or losses were recorded as interest expense. There were $4.4 million of gains and $19.4 million of losses recorded in other comprehensive loss for the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 2021 and May 2, 2020, respectively. The ineffective portion of gains in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 of $1.8 million was recorded in interest expense. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, all interest rate swap agreements were effective.

The fair values of derivative instruments included on the consolidated balance sheets are as follows (in thousands):

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	*Basis of Presentation* The accompanying interim financial statements of BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The consolidated balance sheet as of January 30, 2021 is derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. The unaudited results of operations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 are not necessarily indicative of future results or results to be expected for fiscal year 2021. The Company’s business, in common with the business of retailers generally, is subject to seasonal influences. The Company’s sales and operating income have typically been highest in the fourth quarter holiday season and lowest in the first quarter of each fiscal year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2020, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 19, 2021.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements The accounting policies the Company follows are set forth in its audited financial statements for fiscal year 2020. There have been no material changes to these accounting policies, except as noted below for new accounting pronouncements adopted at the beginning of fiscal year 2021. Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12) In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). This standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification 740 related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The standard also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted this standard as of January 31, 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
