Leases

7. Leases

The Company is obligated under operating leases for almost all of its store properties. In addition, the Company leases certain warehouse distribution centers. Operating lease periods generally range from 5 to 10 years and generally contain rent escalation provisions. Some of the store leases contain renewal options with varying terms and conditions. The Company’s lease term includes options to extend or terminate a lease only when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option.

The Company combines lease components (e.g. rental payments) and non-lease components (e.g. common area maintenance costs and utilities). Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. We recognize lease expense for short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term for those arrangements where there is an identified asset and the contract conveys the right to control its use.

As most of our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rates based on the remaining lease term to determine the present value of future lease payments. The Company's incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest it would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms.

Rent expense for the prior year comparative periods is accounted for under previous lease guidance. Rent expense for operating leases for the thirteen weeks ended November 3, 2018 amounted to $185 million and consisted of minimum and contingent rentals of $182 million and $6 million, respectively, less sublease income of $3 million. For the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018, rent expense for operating leases amounted to $562 million and consisted of minimum and contingent rentals of $547 million and $19 million, respectively, less sublease income of $4 million. Also, most of the Company’s leases require the payment of certain executory costs such as insurance, maintenance, and other costs in addition to the future minimum lease payments. These costs, including the amortization of lease rights, totaled $37 million and $111 million for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018, respectively.
