ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (as amended by ASUs 2015-14, 2018-01, 2018-10, 2018-11, 2018-20, and 2019-01) | | Requires a lessee to recognize a lease asset and lease liability in its condensed consolidated balance sheets. A lessee should recognize a right-of-use (ROU) asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the estimated lease term, and a liability for related lease payments. | | The Company adopted this ASU (the new lease standard) on a modified retrospective basis beginning April 1, 2019. On adoption, the Company recorded a $230,048 increase to total assets due to the recognition of ROU assets, net of prior legacy US GAAP lease-related balances for deferred rent obligations and tenant allowances of $27,895, as previously recorded in other accrued expenses, deferred rent obligations, and other long-term liabilities, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company recorded a corresponding $254,538 increase to total liabilities due to the recognition of lease liabilities, net of a prior legacy US GAAP lease-related balance for prepaid rent of $4,846, as previously recorded in prepaid expenses, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets and lease liabilities include lease obligations for operating leases for retail stores, showrooms, offices, and distribution facilities. ROU assets and related lease liabilities are presented as operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company recorded a net cumulative effect after-tax decrease to opening retained earnings of $1,069 in the condensed consolidated balance sheets due to the impairment of select operating lease assets related to retail stores whose fixed assets had been previously impaired and for which the initial carrying value of the operating lease assets were determined to be above fair market value on adoption.
The adoption of the new lease standard did not materially affect the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income as the classification and recognition of lease cost did not materially change from legacy US GAAP. Similarly, it did not have a material impact on the Company's liquidity or on its debt covenant compliance under current agreements including its borrowing strategy subject to leverage ratios. However, it did result in additional disclosures and presentation changes to the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows in the current period, including supplemental cash flow disclosure, as well as expanded disclosures on existing and new lease commitments.
The Company elected the “package of practical expedients” permitted under the transition guidance of this ASU, which provides a number of transition options, including (1) exemption from reassessment of prior conclusions about lease identification, classification and initial direct costs; (2) the ability to elect a short-term lease recognition exemption; and (3) the option to not separate lease and non-lease components. In addition, the Company did not apply the optional hindsight election and maintained original lease terms as estimated at lease inception.
The comparative condensed consolidated financial statements have not been restated and continue to be reported under legacy US GAAP in effect for those prior reporting periods presented. Refer to Note 7, “Leases and Other Commitments,” for further information, including the Company's accounting policy and expanded disclosures required under the new lease standard.
