Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Macy's, Inc. and, together with its subsidiaries (the "Company"), is an omnichannel retail organization operating stores, websites and mobile applications under three brands (Macy's, Bloomingdale's and bluemercury) that sell a wide range of merchandise, including apparel and accessories (men's, women's and children's)kids'), cosmetics, home furnishings and other consumer goods. The Company has stores in 43 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Guam. As of October 29, 2022, the Company's operations areand operating segments were conducted through approximately 860Macy's, Macy'sMarket by Macy’s, Macy’s Backstage, Bloomingdale's, Bloomingdale's The Outlet, Bloomie’s, and bluemercury stores in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Guam and Puerto Rico, as well as macys.com, bloomingdales.com and bluemercury.com. In addition, bluemercury.  

Bloomingdale's in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and Al Zahra, Kuwait are operated under a license agreement with Al Tayer Insignia, a company of Al Tayer Group, LLC.

A description of the Company's significant accounting policies is included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 201729, 2022 (the "2016"2021 10-K"). The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto in the 20162021 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States generally accepted accounting principlesof America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates and assumptions are subject to inherent uncertainties which may result in actual amounts differing from reported amounts.

The Consolidated Financial Statements for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016,2022 and October 30, 2021, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company.

Seasonality

Because of the seasonal nature of the retail business, the results of operations for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017 and October 29, 20162022 and October 30, 2021 (which do not include the Christmas season) are not necessarily indicative of such results for the full fiscal year.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications were made to prior years’years' amounts to conform towith the classifications of such amounts in the most recent years.

Comprehensive Income

Total comprehensive income represents the change in equity during a period from sources other than transactions with shareholders and, as such, includes net income.  For the Company, the only other components of total comprehensive income for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 28, 201729, 2022 and October 29, 201630, 2021 relate to post employment and postretirement plan items. Settlement charges incurred are included as a separate component of operating expensesincome (loss) before income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Amortization reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive loss are included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost (income) and are included in selling, general and administrative expensesbenefit plan income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income.  See Note 4, "Benefit5, "Retirement Plans," for further information.

Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, effective January 29, 2017. This standard was issued to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment awards, including the income tax consequences, financial statement classification and forfeiture considerations of such awards. Upon adoption, the Company began to recognize, on a prospective basis, all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax benefit or expense, respectively, in its Consolidated Statements of Income. For awards that were exercised, vested or expired during the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017, approximately $12 million of additional income tax expense associated with net tax deficiencies was recognized. Additionally, these net tax deficiencies have been classified as an operating activity

Revenue



For

Net sales

Revenue is recognized when customers obtain control of goods and services promised by the Company.  The amount of revenue recognized is based on the amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received in exchange for those respective goods and services.  The Company's revenue generating activities include the following:

Retail Sales

Retail sales include merchandise sales, inclusive of delivery income, licensed department income, sales of private brand goods directly to third party retailers and sales of excess inventory to third parties. Sales of merchandise are recorded at point of sale for in-store purchases or the time of shipment to the customer for digital purchases and are reported net of estimated merchandise returns and certain customer incentives. Commissions earned on sales generated by licensed departments are included as a component of total net sales and are recognized as revenue at the time merchandise is sold to customers. Service revenues (e.g., alteration and cosmetic services) are recorded at the time the customer receives the benefit of the service. The Company has elected to present sales taxes on a net basis and, as such, sales taxes are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities until remitted to the taxing authorities.

Macy’s accounted for 86% of the Company’s net sales for the 13 weeks ended October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021 and 87% of the Company’s net sales for the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021. In addition, digital sales accounted for approximately 31% and 33% of the Company’s net sales for the 13 weeks ended October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021, respectively, and 31% and 34% of the Company’s net sales for the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021, respectively.

Disaggregation of the Company's net sales by family of business for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 29, 2016,2022 and October 30, 2021 were as follows:

Other primarily includes restaurant sales, allowance for merchandise returns adjustments and breakage income from unredeemed gift cards.

Merchandise Returns

The Company estimates merchandise returns using historical data and recognizes an allowance that reduces net sales and cost of sales.  The liability for merchandise returns is included in additionaccounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and was $233 million, $198 million and $243 million as of October 29, 2022, January 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021, respectively. Included in prepaid expenses and other current assets is an asset totaling $142 million, $120 million and $142 million as of October 29, 2022, January 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021, respectively, for the recoverable cost of merchandise estimated to be returned by customers.

Gift Cards and Customer Loyalty Programs

The Company only offers no-fee, non-expiring gift cards to its customers. At the time gift cards are sold or issued, no revenue is recognized; rather, the Company records an accrued liability to customers. The liability is relieved and revenue is recognized equal to the stock optionsamount redeemed at the time gift cards are redeemed for merchandise. The Company records revenue from unredeemed gift cards (breakage) in net sales on a pro-rata basis over the time period gift cards are actually redeemed. At least three years of historical data, updated annually, is used to determine actual redemption patterns.

The Company maintains customer loyalty programs in which customers earn points based on their purchases. Under the Macy’s Star Rewards loyalty program, points are earned based on customers’ spending on Macy’s private label and restricted stock units reflectedco-branded credit cards as well as non-proprietary cards and other forms of tender. The Company’s Bloomingdale’s Loyallist and bluemercury BlueRewards programs provide tender neutral points-based programs to their customers. The Company recognizes the estimated net amount of the rewards that will be earned and redeemed as a reduction to net sales at the time of the initial transaction and as tender when the points are subsequently redeemed by a customer.

The liability for unredeemed gift cards and customer loyalty programs is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and was $355 million, $481 million and $500 million as of October 29, 2022, January 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021, respectively.

Credit Card Revenues, net

In 2005, the Company entered into an arrangement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank") to sell the Company's private label and co-branded credit cards ("Credit Card Program").  Subsequent to this initial arrangement and associated amendments, in 2021, the Company entered into the sixth amendment to the amended and restated Credit Card Program Agreement (the "Program Agreement") with Citibank. The changes to the Credit Card Program’s financial structure are not materially different from its previous terms. As part of the Program Agreement, the Company receives payments for providing a combination of interrelated services and intellectual property to Citibank in support of the underlying Credit Card Program.  Revenue based on the spending activity of the underlying accounts is recognized as the respective card purchases occur and the Company’s profit share is recognized based on the performance of the underlying portfolio.  Revenue associated with the establishment of new credit accounts and assisting in the foregoing tables, stock options to purchase 15.7 million sharesreceipt of common stockpayments for existing accounts is recognized as such activities occur. Credit card revenues include finance charges, late fees and restricted stock units relating to 0.7 million sharesother revenue generated by the Company’s Credit Card Program, net of common stock were outstanding at October 29, 2016, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been antidilutive or they werefraud losses, expenses associated with establishing new accounts and Credit Card Program funding costs and bad debt reserves.

The Program Agreement expires March 31, 2030, subject to performance conditions that had notan additional renewal term of three years.  The Program Agreement provides for, among other things, (i) the ownership by Citibank of the accounts purchased by Citibank, (ii) the ownership by Citibank of new accounts opened by the Company’s customers, (iii) the provision of credit by Citibank to the holders of the credit cards associated with the foregoing accounts, (iv) the servicing of the foregoing accounts, and (v) the allocation between Citibank and the Company of the economic benefits and burdens associated with the foregoing and other aspects of the alliance.  Pursuant to the Program Agreement, the Company continues to provide certain servicing functions related to the accounts and related receivables owned by Citibank and receives compensation from Citibank for these services. The amounts earned under the Program Agreement related to the servicing functions are deemed adequate compensation and, accordingly, no servicing asset or liability has been met.recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company has taken a number of key steps over the past couple of years to position itself to successfully implement the North Star strategy. Specifically, the Company launched a new Star Rewards loyalty program in October 2017 focused on strengthening relationships with the Company's best customers, migrating existing customers to higher spending levels and attracting new or infrequent customers. The initial launch of the new program focused initially on proprietary cardholders with additional enhancements and expansion beyond proprietary cardholders planned for the future.

Further, in January 2017, the Company announced a series of actions to streamline its store portfolio, intensify cost efficiency efforts and execute its real estate strategy. In addition, the Company has reorganized the field structure that supports the remaining stores and conducted a significant restructuring of the Company's central operations to focus resources on strategic priorities and reduce expense.

During the third quarter of 2017,2022, the Company recognized $33continued to execute its Polaris strategy and these actions impacted its operating results for the period, notably:

Win With Fashion and Style: By offering a wide assortment of categories, products and brands from off-price to luxury, the Company continued to reach a broad and diverse range of customers during the third quarter. The Company is committed to providing quality fashion newness through a curation of premium owned and market brands, which is brought to life at

MACY'S, INC.

Macy’s through the Own Your Style platform. Customer shopping trends shifted into occasion-based categories, such as career and tailored sportswear, fragrances, shoes, dresses and luggage rather than popular pandemic categories such as active, casual sportswear, sleepwear and soft home.

Deliver Clear Value: The Company is leveraging data analytics and pricing tools to efficiently plan, place and price inventory, including location level pricing, competitive pricing and point-of-sale (“POS”) pricing work. Throughout the third quarter, the Company maintained a mix of full-price, promotions and markdown items that, when combined with selectively higher tickets, resulted in an eighth consecutive quarter of average-unit-retail improvement. Inventory turn for the trailing 12 months remained relatively consistent with 2021.

Excel in Digital Shopping: While the Company experienced a deceleration in the growth of its digital channel during the third quarter as consumers shifted back to in-store shopping, the Company continued to make digital investments to serve customers’ lifestyle needs through the introduction of personalized and live shopping as well as ongoing refinement of existing online platforms, including the Company’s mobile app, which resulted in an increase in active app customers of 11% on a trailing 12-month basis. In addition, Macy’s Media Network, an in-house media platform that enables business-to-business monetization of advertising partnerships, generated net income of $31 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of 21% from the third quarter of 2021. Finally, the Company launched the Macy’s digital Marketplace in late September 2022, which features a collection of new brands, product and categories from third-party sellers, representing a pathway to introduce customers to new merchandise options while limiting inventory risk.  

Enhance Store Experience: In the third quarter of 2022, consumers continued to shift shopping channels from digital to stores as they returned to in-store shopping. The Company continues to invest in physical stores to support its digitally-led omnichannel business model and build new capabilities to help make the shopping experience convenient and compelling. For example, the Company is advancing its off-mall, smaller format stores in 2022 by continuing to open additional locations, including two Market by Macy’s locations that opened in the third quarter of 2022. The Company also opened an additional Market by Macy’s location and a second Bloomie’s location in November 2022. Finally, the Company introduced permanent Toys “R” Us shops within all Macy’s locations during the third quarter with an encouraging initial response through a 63% increase in toy sales from the third quarter of 2021.

Modernize Supply Chain: The Company has continued to update its supply chain infrastructure and network, both upstream and downstream, while leveraging improved data and analytics capabilities in fulfillment strategies to meet customers' preference for speed and convenience while also improving inventory placement. The investments to-date have allowed the Company to strategically bring in seasonal product earlier and provided the added capacity to chase in-season trends. The Company is expanding and relocating distribution centers to support business growth and serve the growing customer base. This includes plans to open a modern, new facility in Texas in mid-2023 which is expected to continue to support stores in the region. In addition, the Company plans to open a new fulfillment center in North Carolina in 2025.

Enable Transformation: The Company has continued to modernize its technology foundations to increase agility in reacting to customers and the market regardless of the channel in which customers interact. These activities include increasing the Company’s data science and analytics capabilities. The Company is committed to continue its transformation efforts by attracting and retaining talent through several initiatives designed to engage current and potential candidates.

In addition to the pillars of the Polaris strategy above, the Company is committed to providing value to people, communities and the planet through the evolution of its Mission Every One social purpose platform. In early November, the Company launched S.P.U.R. Pathways: Shared Purpose, Unlimited Reach, with its partner Momentus Capital. S.P.U.R. Pathways is a multi-year, multi-faceted program that ultimately will provide up to $200 million of costs primarily associated with this restructuring effort as well as a restructuring withinfunding. The Company is committed to contribute approximately $30 million over five years to empower new brands across the marketing function. Additional financialCompany’s network of stores and operational impactsbroaden the Company’s range of such restructuring actions include future annual savings of approximately $38 million, some of which may be used for reinvestment in the business, and savings of approximately $.01 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2017.

The Company continues to own and operate the first four floors and lower level of its existing nine-story retail store, which is currently being reconfigured and remodeled. The remaining portion26 for reconciliations of the storesupplemental non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measure and its nearby parking facility were sold to Tishman Speyer in a single sales transaction. As the sales agreement required the Company to conduct certain redevelopment activities within the store, the Company is recognizing the gain on the transaction, approximately $250 million, under the percentage of completion method of accounting over the redevelopment period. Accordingly, $166 million has been recognized to-date, of which $117 million was recognized through fiscal 2016 and $49 million has been recognized during 2017.

In fiscal 2016, the Company had property and equipment sales, primarily related to real estate, totaling $673 million in cash proceeds and recognized real estate gains of $209 million. These proceeds include the cash received from the salefor other important information.

The Company will use partThird Quarter of the proceeds to consolidate the Men’s store into its main Union Square store. The Company is leasing back the Men's store property as it completes the reconfiguration of the main store. The Company is expected to recognize a gain of approximately $235 million in January 2018.

In January 2017, the Company finalized the formation of a strategic alliance with Brookfield Asset Management, a leading global alternative asset manager, to create increased value in its real estate portfolio. Under the alliance, Brookfield has an exclusive right for up to 24 months to create a "pre-development plan" for each of approximately 50 Macy’s real estate assets, with an option for Macy’s to continue to identify and add assets into the alliance. The breadth of opportunity within the portfolio ranges from the additional development on a portion of an asset (such as a Company-controlled land parcel adjacent to a store) to the complete redevelopment of an existing store.  Once a "pre-development plan" is created, the Company has the option to accept the "pre-development plan" and then either contribute the asset into a joint venture for the development plan to commence or sell the asset to Brookfield. If the Company chooses to contribute the asset into a joint venture, the Company may elect to participate as a funding or non-funding partner. After development, the joint venture may sell the asset and distribute proceeds accordingly. Based on the analysis conducted to date, preliminary indications point to a likelihood that Brookfield will recommend proceeding with redevelopment on roughly two thirds of the assets subject to the alliance.
In February 2017, the Company sold its downtown Minneapolis store and parking facility for $59 million of proceeds and recognized a gain of approximately $47 million in the first quarter of 2017.
In April 2017, the Company launched a marketing effort for the upper floors of its flagship State Street Macy's store in downtown Chicago. Development and increased utilization of the upper floors are expected to drive more foot traffic to the store.
In May 2017, the Company signed a contract to sell an additional two floors of the downtown Seattle Macy's store; four floors were sold in a similar transaction in fiscal 2015. This transaction closed in September 2017 for approximately $50 million of proceeds2022 and the Company recognized a gainThird Quarter of approximately $40 million in2021

The decrease in the gross margin rate was primarily driven by an increase in promotional and clearance markdowns to sell through slower moving categories at Macy’s, including casual apparel, soft home, and warmer weather seasonal goods. This was partially offset by higher average unit retail driven by higher ticket prices and favorable category mix particularly within occasion-based categories.

Net income attributable to Macy's, Inc. shareholders for 2017 increased $78 million or 54.2% compared to 2016.

These favorable changes as well as lower SG&A, retirement plan settlement charges and interest expense were partially offset by lower net sales and gross margin in 2017.

Outlook and Recent Developments

The Company's operations are impacted by competitive pressures from department stores, off-price stores, specialty stores, mass merchandisers, online retailers and all other retail channels. The Company's operations are also impacted by general consumer spending levels, including the impact of general economic conditions, consumer disposable income levels, consumer confidence levels, the availability, cost and level of consumer debt, the costs of basic necessities and other goods and the effects of weather or natural disasters and other factors over whichDevelopments

On November 17, 2022, the Company has little or no control.

In recent years, consumer spending levels have been affected to varying degrees by a number of factors, including modest economic growth, uncertainty regarding governmental spending and tax policies, unemployment levels, tightened consumer credit, an improving housing market and a fluctuating stock market. In addition, consumer spending levels of international customers are impacted by the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies. These factors have affected, to varying degrees, the amount of funds that consumers are willing and able to spend for discretionary purchases, including purchases of some of the merchandise offered by the Company.
All economic conditions ultimately affect the Company's overall operations. However, the effects of economic conditions can be experienced differently and at different times, in the various geographic regions in which the Company operates, in relation to the different types of merchandise that the Company offers for sale, or in relation to each of the Company's branded operations.
On November 9, 2017, the Company issued a press release to report its preliminary earnings for the third quarter of 2017 and reaffirmed its previously providedannual 2022 sales guidance and raised its earnings guidance to account for fiscal 2017. In summary, the Company expects comparable sales on an owned basisimproved expectations for credit card revenue and interest expense, lower benefit plan income, and updated shares outstanding estimates. The updates to decline between 2.2 percent and 3.3 percent, with comparable sales on an owned plus licensed basis to decline between 2.0 percent and 3.0 percent. Total salesits annual 2022 guidance are expected to be down between 3.2 percent and 4.3 percent in fiscal 2017. Total sales for fiscal 2017 reflect a 53rd week, whereas comparable sales are on a 52-week basis. As previously announced in August 2017, the Company expects a 1 cent increase in adjusted earnings per diluted share due to the restructuring of the merchandising operations. The Company now expects adjusted earnings per diluted share of between $3.38 and $3.63 in fiscal 2017, excluding the impact of the anticipated settlement charges, restructuring and other costs and net premiums and fees associated with debt repurchases. Excluding the impact of the anticipated fourth quarter gain on the sale of the Union Square Men’s building in San Francisco and the anticipated settlement charges, restructuring and other costs and net premiums and fees associated with debt repurchases, adjusted earnings per diluted share of $2.91 to $3.16 are expected in fiscal 2017.as follows:

Digital sales are expected to be approximately 33% of net sales


Net credit card revenues are now expected to be approximately 3.4% of net sales

Important Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users of the Company's financial information with additional useful information in evaluating operating performance. Management believes that providing supplemental changes in comparable sales on an owned plus licensed basis, which includes adjusting for the impact of growth in comparable sales of departments licensed to third parties, assists in evaluating the Company's ability to generate sales growth, whether through owned businesses or departments licensed to third parties, on a comparable basis, and in evaluating the impact of changes in the manner in which certain departments are operated. Earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is a non-GAAP financial measure which the Company believes provides meaningful information about its operational efficiency by excluding the impact of changes in tax law and structure, debt levels and capital investment. In addition, management believes that excluding certain items from EBITDA, net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to Macy's, Inc. shareholders that are no longernot associated with the Company’s core operations and that may vary substantially in frequency and magnitude from period-to-period provides useful supplemental measures that assist in evaluating the Company's ability to generate earnings and leverage sales and to more readily compare these metrics between past and future periods.

The reconciliationCompany does not provide reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measuremeasures of changes in comparable sales on an owned plus licensed basisadjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share to GAAP comparable sales (i.e., on an owned basis) is in the same manner as illustrated below, where the impact of growth in comparable sales of departments licensed to third parties is the only reconciling item. In addition, the Company does not provide the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure of diluted earnings per share attributable to Macy’s, Inc. shareholders excluding certain itemsmeasures because the timing and amount of excluded items (e.g., impairments, restructuring and other costs, retirement plan settlement charges and net premiums on the early retirement of debt) are unreasonably difficult to fully and accurately estimate.

For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain of the items that may be excluded or included in non-GAAP financial measures may be significant items that could impact the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows and should therefore be considered in assessing the Company's actual and future financial condition and performance. Additionally, the amounts received by the Company on account of sales of departments licensed to third parties are limited to commissions received on such sales. The methods used by the Company to calculate its non-GAAP financial measures may differ significantly from methods used by other companies to compute similar measures. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures presented herein may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies.

Represents the period-to-period percentage change in net sales from stores in operation throughoutduring the year presented13 and 39 weeks ended October 29, 2022 and the immediately preceding year13 and 39 weeks ended October 30, 2021. Such calculation includes all onlinedigital sales excludingand excludes commissions from departments licensed to third parties.  Stores impacted by a natural disaster or undergoing remodeling,significant expansion or relocationshrinkage remain in the comparable sales calculation unless the store, or material portion of the store, is closed for a significant period of time. Definitions and calculations of comparable sales may differ among companies in the retail industry.

(2)

Represents the impact of including the sales of departments licensed to third parties occurring in stores in operation throughout the year presented and the immediately preceding year and all online sales in the calculation of comparable sales.  The Company licenses third parties to operate certain departments in its stores and online and receives commissions from these third parties based on a percentage of their net sales.  In its financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP, the Company includes these commissions (rather than the sales of the departments licensed to third parties) in its net sales.  The Company does not, however, include any amounts within respect toof licensed department sales (or any commissions earned on such sales) in its comparable sales in accordance with GAAP (i.e., on an owned basis).  The Company believes that the amounts of commissions earned on sales of departments licensed to third parties are not material to its results of operationsnet sales for the periods presented.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share

The following is a tabular reconciliation of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers,non-GAAP financial measures of net income and diluted earnings per share, excluding certain items identified below, to GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share, which establishes principles to report useful information to financial statements users about the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue from contracts with customers. ASU No. 2014-09 along with various related amendments comprise ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and provide guidance that is applicable to all contracts with customers regardless of industry-specific or transaction-specific fact patterns. The new standard and its related updates are effective for the Company beginning on February 4, 2018. On the effective date, the Company will apply the new guidance retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the methods of adoption and has not yet decided on the methodbelieves to be applied when the new revenue guidance is effective.most directly comparable GAAP measures.

The Company currently estimates the material impacts to its consolidated financial statements to include gross presentation of its estimates for future sales returns and related recoverable assets, presenting income from credit operations as a separate component of revenue and recognizing revenue for online transactions upon shipment rather than delivery. In addition, the gains for certain real estate transactions will generally be recognized earlier than under current guidance due to consideration of the guidance in ASU No. 2017-05, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20) and the new lease standard discussed below.

New Pronouncements

The Company does not expect the new guidance to materially impact the revenue recognition associated with gift card breakage as well as the accounting for its warranty arrangements, loyalty programs and other customer incentive arrangements. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of the new standards and the final determinations of the impact of the new guidance may differ from these initial estimates.

In February 2016, the FASBthat any recently issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize substantially all leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right of use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement.
The new standard is effective for the Company on February 3, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The new standard is to be adopted utilizing a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the consolidated financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company has not yet decided whether it will early adopt the new standard but the Company currently plans to elect the majority of the standard's available practical expedients on adoption.
The Company expects that the new lease standard will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. While the Company is continuing to assess the effects of adoption, the Company currently believes the most significant changes relate to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets for real property and personal property operating leases as well as changes to the timing of recognition of certain real estate asset sale gains in the consolidated statements of income due to application of the new sale-leaseback guidance and ASU No. 2017-05 as discussed above. The Company expects that substantially all of its operating lease commitments will be subject to the new guidance and will be recognized as operating lease liabilities and ROU assets upon adoption. A significant change in leasing activity between the date of this report and adoption is not expected.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715), which requires employers to disaggregate the service cost component from other components of net periodic benefit costs and to disclose the amounts of net periodic benefit costs that are included in each income statement line item. The standard requires employers to report the service cost component in the same line item as other compensation costs and to report the other components of net periodic benefit costs (which include interest costs, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service cost or credits and actuarial gains and losses) separately and outside a subtotal of operating income. The income statement guidance requires application on a retrospective basis. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and related disclosures. The Company plans to adopt this standard on February 4, 2018.
The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of any other recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impacteffect on the Company'sits consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
