Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Except as noted below, the Company has considered all recent accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no recent accounting pronouncements that may have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements, based on current information.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Related to Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to clarify the principles of recognizing revenue and create common revenue recognition guidance between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU No. 2014-09, as amended, is effective retrospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017.
While we do not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 and related ASUs to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements, we expect the adoption to result in change in the timing of recognizing revenue for breakage income for gift cards, gift certificates, and credit vouchers, credit card reward points and certificate liability, as well as sales where we ship the merchandise to the customer from a distribution center or store. Additionally, under the new guidance, we expect to recognize allowances for estimated sales returns on a gross basis rather than net basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We are currently evaluating the classification of income earned in connection with our private label and co-branded credit cards. We are also evaluating expanded disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
We will adopt these ASUs on a modified retrospective basis beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.
Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018. We are still assessing the impact of this ASU on our Consolidated Financial Statements, but it will result in a substantial increase in our long-term assets and liabilities. We will adopt the ASU beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments are intended to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. We adopted the provisions of this ASU in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we have made the policy election to account for forfeitures when they occur, rather than estimating expected forfeitures, when recognizing share-based compensation cost. We adopted this provision of the ASU using a modified retrospective transition method, which resulted in the cumulative-effect adjustment of a $3 million increase to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Also, all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies related to share-based payment awards are now reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Income as a component of the provision for income taxes on a prospective basis, whereas they were recognized in equity under the previous guidance. Additionally, excess tax benefits related to share-based payment awards are now reflected in operating activities, along with other income tax related cash flows, in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on a prospective basis.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill and eliminate the two-step goodwill impairment test. The ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We early adopted this ASU for the interim goodwill impairment test in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The adoption of this ASU did not have any impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments are intended to better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently assessing the potential impact of this ASU on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
