Leases

We lease our office space and all of our retail store locations, transportation equipment and other equipment under various noncancelable operating leases. The leases have varying terms and expire at various dates through 2034. The store leases in the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada typically have initial terms of approximately 10 years. The store leases in the United Kingdom and the ROI typically have initial terms of between 10 and 15 years.  Our lease portfolio includes leases with fixed base rental payments, rental payments based on a percentage of retail sales over contractual amounts and others with predetermined fixed escalations of the minimum rentals based on a defined consumer price index or percentage.  Generally, most of the leases require us to pay taxes, insurance, maintenance costs and contingent rentals based on sales.  We evaluate renewal options and break options at lease inception and on an ongoing basis, and include renewal options and break options that we are reasonably certain to exercise in our expected lease terms for calculations of our right-of-use assets and liabilities. Approximately 2% of our leases contain renewal options. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The lease on our Nashville office expires in April 2022.  On February 10, 2020, we announced plans for our new corporate headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee. We entered into a lease agreement, which was subsequently amended, for approximately 182,000 square feet of office space which will replace our current corporate headquarters office lease. The term of the lease is 15 years, with two options to extend for an additional period of five years each.

Leases, Continued

Under ASC 842, for store, office and equipment leases beginning in Fiscal 2020 and later, we have elected to not separate fixed lease components and non-lease components.  Accordingly, we include fixed rental payments, common area maintenance costs, promotional advertising costs and other fixed costs in our measurement of lease liabilities.

Our leases do not provide an implicit rate, so the incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available at commencement or modification date, is used in determining the present value of lease payments.  The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate we would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease within a particular currency environment. For operating leases that commenced prior to the date of adoption of the new lease accounting guidance, we used the incremental borrowing rate that corresponded to the initial lease term as of the date of adoption.

Net lease costs are included within selling and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.  The table below presents the components of lease cost for operating leases for the years ended January 30, 2021 and February 1, 2020.

Leases, Continued

As of January 30, 2021, we have additional operating leases that have not yet commenced with estimated right of use liabilities of $68.8 million, primarily related to the new headquarters building lease.  These leases will commence between 2021 and 2022 with lease terms of 8 to 15 years, with the 15 year lease being for the new headquarters building.

Beginning in March 2020, we suspended rent payments under the leases for our temporarily closed stores and initiated discussions with landlords to obtain lease concessions. We have considered the FASB’s recent guidance regarding lease concessions as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and have elected to account for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic consistent with how those concessions would be accounted for under Topic 842 and Topic 840 as though enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed (regardless of whether those enforceable rights and obligations for the concessions explicitly exist in the contract).  Also, in accordance with the FASB’s guidance, we apply this election for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that do not result in a substantial increase in our obligations or in the rights of the landlord.  We continued to recognize contractual rent expense while lease concessions are under negotiation with the respective landlord.  The rent concessions are recognized in the period when the amendment is executed. COVID-19 related lease concessions decreased our contractual rent expense by approximately $34 million during Fiscal 2021.  As of January 30, 2021, we had an accrued liability for unpaid rent related to the closed stores of $26.9 million.  We continue to negotiate lease concessions with our landlords.
