Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
 
1. Accounting Policies
 
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) applicable to interim financial statements. While these statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim period, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statement disclosures in our 2018 Form 10-K.

We use the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. Unless otherwise noted, amounts presented within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements refer to our continuing operations.
 
We operate as a single segment that includes all of our continuing operations, which are designed to enable guests to purchase products seamlessly in stores or through our digital channels. Nearly all of our revenues are generated in the U.S. The vast majority of our long-lived assets are located within the U.S.

Due to the seasonal nature of our business, quarterly revenues, expenses, earnings, and cash flows are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

2. Revenues

General merchandise sales represent the vast majority of our revenues. We also earn revenues from a variety of other sources, most notably credit card profit sharing income from our arrangement with TD Bank Group (TD).

(a) 
We reclassified certain non-apparel baby merchandise sales totaling $406 million and $1,260 million for the three and nine months ended November 2, 2019, respectively, and $403 million and $1,166 million for the three and nine months ended November 3, 2018, respectively, from Apparel and Accessories to Beauty and Household Essentials.

We record almost all retail store revenues at the point of sale. Digitally originated sales may include shipping revenue and are recorded upon delivery to the guest or upon guest pickup at the store. Sales are recognized net of expected returns, which we estimate using historical return patterns and our expectation of future returns. As of November 2, 2019, February 2, 2019, and November 3, 2018, the accrual for estimated returns was $137 million, $116 million, and $125 million, respectively. We have not historically had material adjustments to our returns estimates.

Revenue from Target gift card sales is recognized upon gift card redemption, which is typically within one year of issuance.

Credit card profit sharing – We receive payments under a credit card program agreement with TD. Under the agreement, we receive a percentage of the profits generated by the Target Credit Card and Target MasterCard receivables in exchange for performing account servicing and primary marketing functions. TD underwrites, funds, and owns Target Credit Card and Target MasterCard receivables, controls risk management policies, and oversees regulatory compliance.

The carrying amounts of certain other current assets, commercial paper, accounts payable, and certain accrued and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.
(b) 
The fair value of debt is generally measured using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market interest rates for the same or similar types of financial instruments and would be classified as Level 2. These amounts exclude commercial paper, unamortized swap valuation adjustments, and lease liabilities.

4. Property and Equipment

We review long-lived assets for impairment when store performance expectations, events, or changes in circumstances—such as a decision to relocate or close a store or distribution center, discontinue projects, or make significant software changes—indicate that the asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable. We recognized impairment charges of $7 million and $21 million during the three and nine months ended November 2, 2019, respectively, primarily resulting from store impairments. We recognized no impairment charges during the three months ended November 3, 2018, and $85 million of impairment charges during the nine months ended November 3, 2018, primarily resulting from planned store closures. The impairment charges are recorded in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.

5. Commercial Paper and Long-Term Debt

In March 2019, we issued $1,000 million of 10-year unsecured fixed rate debt at 3.375 percent, and in June 2019, we repaid $1,000 million of unsecured 2.3 percent fixed rate debt at maturity.

Our commercial paper program provides a source of short-term financing. For the nine months ended November 2, 2019, the maximum amount outstanding was $744 million, and the average daily amount outstanding was $55 million at a weighted average annual interest rate of 2.4 percent. For the nine months ended November 3, 2018, the maximum amount outstanding was $658 million, and the average daily amount outstanding was $54 million at a weighted average annual interest rate of 1.9 percent. As of November 2, 2019, no balances were outstanding. As of November 3, 2018, $490 million was outstanding and is classified within Current Portion of Long-Term Debt and Other Borrowings on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

6. Derivative Financial Instruments
 
Our derivative instruments consist of interest rate swaps used to mitigate interest rate risk. As a result, we have counterparty credit exposure to large global financial institutions, which we monitor on an ongoing basis. Note 3 provides the fair value and classification of these instruments.
 
In March 2019, we entered into interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $1,000 million, and in June 2019, interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $1,000 million matured. As of November 2, 2019, and November 3, 2018, we were party to interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $1,500 million. We pay a variable rate and receive a fixed rate under each of these agreements. All of the agreements are designated as fair value hedges, and all were perfectly effective during the three and nine months ended November 2, 2019, and November 3, 2018.
