[1] The cumulative effect of change in accounting principle during the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 resulted from the adoption of accounting guidance that requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. As a result of the adoption, the Company adjusted the opening balance of retained earnings for $33 million as of April 27, 2019.
