Recently Adopted

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016–02” or “Topic 842”) which replaced the existing guidance in ASC 840, Leases. The new standard established a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on February 3, 2019, the first day of fiscal 2019.  As part of the implementation process, the Company assessed its lease arrangements, evaluated practical expedient and accounting policy elections and implemented necessary modifications to its existing lease system. In adopting the new lease standard, the Company elected the optional transition method which applied the standard as of the effective date but did not apply the standard to the comparative periods previously presented in the consolidated financial statements. The new standard also provided optional practical expedients for transition, which the Company elected, which permitted it to not reassess prior conclusions regarding lease classification, identification or initial direct costs. Further, the Company elected a short-term lease exception policy which permitted it to not apply the recognition requirements of the new standard to short-term leases (leases with terms of 12 months or less). The Company also elected an accounting policy to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component for certain classes of assets. The Company did not elect an optional hindsight practical expedient.

 

The Company leases all of its retail store locations and certain office space and equipment. All leases are classified as operating leases. Under the new guidance, right–of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate which approximates the rate of interest the Company would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the total lease payments under similar terms.  The incremental borrowing rate for existing leases as of the opening balance sheet date was based on the remaining terms of the leases.  The incremental borrowing rate for all new or amended leases is based upon the lease terms which include the contractual period obligated by the leases plus any additional periods covered by options available to extend the leases if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise such options.  Lease expense for fixed lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities of approximately $133.6 million and $141.0 million, respectively, as of February 3, 2019. The difference between the lease assets and lease liabilities was primarily due to reclassification of lease incentives, as well as impairment of operating lease right-of-use assets for stores previously impaired as of the effective date.  Lease impairment, net of the related deferred taxes, totaled approximately $2.1 million and is reflected as an adjustment to retained earnings at the transition date.
