LEASES

The Company leases certain office, distribution, retail and manufacturing facilities, land and equipment. Retail store leases may require the payment of minimum rentals and contingent rent based on a percentage of sales exceeding a stipulated amount. The lease agreements, which expire at various dates through 2062, are subject, in many cases, to renewal options and provide for the payment of taxes, insurance and maintenance. Certain leases contain escalation clauses resulting from the pass through of increases in operating costs, property taxes and the effect on costs from changes in consumer price indices.

The Company determines its lease payments based on predetermined rent escalations (including escalations based on consumer price indices), rent-free periods and other incentives. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the related terms of such leases, beginning from when the Company takes possession of the leased facility. Variable rents, including contingent rent based on a percentage of sales and adjustments to consumer price indices, are recorded in the period such amounts and adjustments are determined. Lease terms include renewal options when exercise of such options is reasonably certain and within the control of the Company. There is generally no readily determinable discount rate implicit in the Company's leases. Accordingly, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate for a term that corresponds to the applicable lease term in order to measure its lease liabilities and has elected to use such rates based on lease terms remaining as of February 1, 2019.

The amounts of the Company's right-of-use asset and current and non-current lease liabilities are presented separately on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 30, 2019. Substantially all of the Company's leases are operating leases as of April 30, 2019. The Company records lease expense within Cost of sales for leases of manufacturing facilities and within Selling, general and administrative expenses for all other leases.
