New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” This update replaced existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP and requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and the adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or its internal control over financial reporting.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” which provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues in an effort to reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified within the statement of cash flows. This standard is effective retrospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, resulting in the classification of $124.5 million of cash paid for debt extinguishment as a financing activity in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which will replace existing lease accounting guidance. The new standard will require lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all in-scope leases with a term of greater than 12 months and disclose certain quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company will adopt the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, using the optional transition method provided by accounting pronouncement, ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements.” ASU 2018-11 allows entities to initially apply ASU 2016-02 at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Consequently, the Company’s reporting for comparative periods presented in the year of adoption will continue to be in accordance with ASC 840, “Leases (Topic 840).” The Company has engaged a third party to assist in its preparation for implementation and its evaluation of the impact of the new pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the Company is implementing lease accounting software to assist in the quantification of the expected impact on the consolidated balance sheets and to facilitate the calculations of the related accounting entries and disclosures. The Company continues to assess the effect the implementation will have on its existing accounting policies and the consolidated financial statements and expects the adoption of this pronouncement to result in a discounted increase of $5.5 billion to $6.5 billion in the assets and liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets, with an immaterial impact on its consolidated income statements and consolidated statements of cash flows. The estimate could change as the Company continues to progress with implementation and will also fluctuate based on the lease portfolio and discount rates as of the adoption date. The Company is also evaluating additional changes to its processes and internal controls to ensure it is compliant with the reporting and disclosure requirements of the standard.
