Leases

We adopted the requirements of ASU No. 2016-02 as of February 3, 2019, utilizing the optional effective date transition method allowing the application of the new standard at the adoption date with comparative periods presented in accordance with ASC 840, Leases. At adoption, we made the following practical expedient policy elections:


•	We applied the new standard using the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed us to not reassess:

◦Whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases;


◦	Lease classification for any expired or existing leases, which allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classifications; and

◦Indirect costs for any existing leases.


•	We elected the practical expedient that allowed us to use hindsight in determining the lease term.


•	We elected the practical expedient related to land easements, allowing us to carry forward our accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements.


•	We elected the accounting policy to not recognize a right-of-use asset and operating lease liability for leases with an initial term of twelve months or less. The Company records lease expense for short term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term in rentals on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.


•	We elected the accounting policy to account for lease components (e.g. fixed rent payments) separately from non-lease components (e.g. common area maintenance costs).

The Company leases retail stores, office space and equipment under operating leases. The majority of these operating leases were impacted by the adoption of the new standard. At adoption, we recorded right-of-use operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities totaling $57.0 million and $56.2 million, respectively. As of November 2, 2019, right-of-use operating lease assets, which are recorded in operating lease assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, totaled $48.6 million, and operating lease liabilities, which are recorded in current portion of operating lease liabilities and operating lease liabilities, totaled $48.2 million. The impact of the adoption of the new standard was immaterial to our condensed consolidated statements of income, condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and condensed consolidated statements of stockholders' equity.

In determining our operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities, we applied an incremental borrowing rate to the minimum lease payments within each lease agreement. ASU No. 2016-02 requires the use of the rate implicit in the lease whenever that rate is readily determinable; furthermore, if the implicit rate is not readily determinable, a lessee may use its incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. To estimate our specific incremental borrowing rates that align with applicable lease terms, we utilized a model consistent with the credit quality of our outstanding debt instruments.

Renewal options from two to 20 years exist on the majority of leased properties. The Company has sole discretion in exercising the lease renewal options. We do not recognize operating lease assets or operating lease liabilities for renewal periods unless it has been determined that we are reasonably certain of renewing the lease at inception. The depreciable life of operating lease assets and related leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term.

Contingent rentals on certain leases are based on a percentage of annual sales in excess of specified amounts. Other contingent rentals are based entirely on a percentage of sales. The Company's operating lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The following table summarizes the Company's operating and finance leases:
