Note 8 – Leases

 

We lease all of our retail stores and our single distribution center, which has a current lease term of 15 years, expiring in 2034.  We also enter into leases of equipment, copiers and billboards.  All of our leases are operating leases.  Leases with terms of twelve months or less are immaterial and are expensed as incurred, and we did not have any leases with related parties as of May 2, 2020.   

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and related government restrictions impacting our operations, we began seeking relief from our landlords while our stores were temporarily closed to customers.  On April 10, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board staff issued a question-and-answer document providing guidance for lease concessions provided to lessees in response to the effects of COVID-19. Such guidance allows lessees to make an election to forgo the evaluation of the enforceable rights and obligations of the original lease contract and whether a lease concession provided by a lessor should be accounted for as a lease modification in the event the concession does not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee. Based on the nature of the agreements reached with many of our landlords, we have accounted for rent concessions as if they were part of the enforceable rights and obligations of the existing lease contracts and did not account for the concessions as lease modifications. When agreements with landlords to defer rent payments were reached, amounts that would have otherwise been due were reclassified as operating lease liabilities, all of which are reflected in the current portion of operating lease liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of May 2, 2020.  For negotiations with landlords that did not result in rent concessions, we have increased accounts payable for rents that are due.  We have continued to recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis for our leases over the related lease terms.

 

Lease-related costs reported in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income were as follows for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, respectively:
