BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Dollar Tree, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2018. The results of operations for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 4, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending February 2, 2019.
In the Company’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments (including those of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position as of August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The February 3, 2018 balance sheet information was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” 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: 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 26 weeks ended August 4, 2018.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases,” 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. When implemented, lessees will be required to recognize and measure leases using a modified retrospective approach, with optional practical expedients. The update 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. 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. 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 material increase 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. 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 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. As of February 3, 2018, the Company had $7.4 billion in undiscounted future minimum operating lease commitments.
