New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
We adopted ASU 2016-02, " Leases (Topic 842)", ("ASC 842"), as of February 3, 2019, using the optional transition method provided by ASU 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements". The optional transition approach provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption by allowing a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption, as opposed to the modified or full retrospective transition methods that require restating prior comparative periods. Additionally, we elected the “package of practical expedients”, which permits us to not reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for its store and equipment leases.
 
Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional net operating lease right of use assets and operating lease liabilities of $795.6 million and $855.3 million, respectively, as of February 3, 2019. The operating lease right of use asset is inclusive of the impairments recorded upon adoption for store operating lease right of use assets, which totaled $4.8 million and resulted in a decrease to retained earnings of $4.2 million, net of tax. Right of use assets are recorded based upon the present value of the remaining operating lease payments, discounted using an incremental borrowing rate based on the initial lease term, adjusted for deferred rent, including tenant allowances from landlords. ASC 842 did not materially impact net earnings or liquidity and did not have an impact on covenant compliance under our current debt agreements. Financial results for reporting periods beginning after February 3, 2019 are presented in accordance with ASC 842, while prior periods will continue to be reported in accordance with our historical accounting for leases under ASC 840: "Leases (Topic 840)" and therefore have not been adjusted to conform to Topic 842. For additional information regarding leases, see Note 8.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract", (ASU 2018-15"). The standard requires that issuers follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC 350-40 to determine which costs to capitalize as assets or expense as incurred. The ASC 350-40 guidance requires that certain costs incurred during the application development stage be capitalized and other costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages be expensed as they are incurred. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We adopted this standard effective August 4, 2019 and elected to apply the prospective transition approach with no material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. We did not capitalize any material implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement service contract during Fiscal 2020.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)" ("ASC 220"), which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Act. This guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in ASC 220 should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Act is recognized. We adopted ASC 220 in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2018 and reclassified $2.2 million to retained earnings for the impact of stranded tax effects resulting from the Act.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)" ("ASC 718"). The update addresses several aspects of the accounting for share-based compensation transactions including: (a) income tax consequences when awards vest or are settled, (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, (c) a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur rather than on an estimated basis and (d) classification of excess tax impacts on the statement of cash flows. The inclusion of excess tax benefits and deficiencies as a component of our income tax expense will increase volatility within its provision for income taxes as the amount of excess tax benefits or deficiencies from share-based compensation awards is dependent on our stock price at the date the awards are exercised or settled which is primarily in the second quarter of each fiscal year. We adopted ASC 718 in the first quarter of Fiscal 2018. We recorded an excess tax deficiency of $2.2 million as an increase in income tax expense related to share-based compensation for vested awards in Fiscal 2018. Earnings per share decreased $0.11 per share for Fiscal 2018 due to the impact of ASC 718.


Note 2
New Accounting Pronouncements, Continued

We adopted ASC 606 in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 using the modified retrospective method by recognizing the cumulative effect of $4.4 million as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at February 4, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments", which requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The FASB has subsequently issued updates to the standard to provide additional clarification on specific topics. This guidance will be effective for us in the first quarter of the year ending January 30, 2021 ("Fiscal 2021") with early adoption permitted. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. However, we are also evaluating how COVID-19 will impact this standard.
