1. Summary of SignificantSignificant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods of the fiscal year ending February 2, 20191, 2020 and of the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018.2, 2019. Certain items included in these statements are based on management’s estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Foot Locker, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Form 10-K10‑K for the year ended February 3, 2018,2, 2019, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 29, 2018.

April 2, 2019.

Other than the changes to the Revenue RecognitionLeases policies as a result of the recently adopted accounting standards discussed below, there were no significant changes to our significant accountingthe policies disclosed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our Annual Report on Form 10-K10‑K for the year ended February 3, 2018.2, 2019.

Recently AdoptedRecent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of Topic 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 during the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective method. We recognized $5 million, or $4 million net of tax, as the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an increase to the opening balance of retained earnings.

In OctoberFebruary 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740):Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. ASU 2016-16 requires recognition of income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The Company adopted this ASU during the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective method, and as a result increased deferred income tax assets by $37 million. The Company has written off the income tax effects that had been deferred from past intercompany transactions involving non-inventory assets to opening retained earnings. The Company also recorded deferred tax assets with an offset to opening retained earnings for amounts that were not previously recognized under the previous guidance but are recognized under this ASU.

Other recently adopted ASUs are discussed within the applicable disclosures on the following pages.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). . This ASU requires lessees to recognize a lease liability, on a discounted basis, and a right-of-use asset for substantially all leases, as well as additional disclosuredisclosures regarding leasing arrangements. This standard willIn July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted improvements, which provides an optional transition method of applying the new lease standard. Topic 842 can be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods therein, and requiresapplied using either a modified retrospective adoption, with earlier adoption permitted. approach at the beginning of the earliest period presented, or as permitted by ASU 2018-11, at the beginning of the period in which it is adopted.

The Company doesadopted Topic 842 on February 3, 2019 (the “effective date”) using the optional transition method, which applies Topic 842 at the beginning of the period in which it is adopted. Prior period amounts have not expect to adopt this ASU until required and is evaluatingbeen adjusted in connection with the effectadoption of this guidance.standard. The Company has historically presentedelected the package of practical expedients under the new standard, which permits companies to not reassess lease classification, lease identification, or initial direct costs for existing or expired leases prior to the effective date. We have lease agreements with non-lease components that relate to the lease components. The Company elected the practical expedient to account for non-lease components and the lease components to which they relate, as a non-GAAP measuresingle lease component for all classes of underlying assets. Also, the Company elected to adjust itskeep short-term leases with an initial term of twelve months or less off the balance sheet to presentsheet.

Upon adoption of this new standard, the Company recorded right-of-use assets and lease obligations on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for our operating leases of $3,148 million and $3,422 million, respectively, as if theyof February 3, 2019. As part of adopting the standard, previously recognized liabilities for deferred rent and lease incentives were capital leases. Based upon that analysis and preliminary evaluationreclassified as a component of the right-of-use assets. Additionally upon adoption, we evaluated right-to-use assets for impairment and determined that approximately $29 million of impairment was required related to newly recognized right-to-use assets that would have been impaired in previous periods. This impairment of the right-to-use asset as of February 3, 2019 was recorded, net of related income tax effects, as a $26 million reduction of beginning retained earnings. The standard we estimate the adoption will result in the additiondid not significantly affect our Condensed Consolidated Statements of $3 billion to $4 billion of assets and liabilities to our consolidated balance sheet, with no significant change to our consolidated statements of operationsIncome, Comprehensive Income, or cash flows.

Cash Flows.

Other recently issued accounting pronouncements did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material effect on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

2. Revenue Recognition

Store revenue is recognized at the point of sale and includes merchandise, net of returns, and excludes taxes. Revenue from layaway sales is recognized when the customer receives the product, rather than when the initial deposit is paid.

In conjunction with the adoption of Topic 606 during the first quarter of 2018, we have determined that revenue Revenue for merchandise that is shipped to our customers from our distribution centers and stores will beis recognized upon shipment date.

Total revenue recognized includes shipping and handling fees. We have determined that control of the promised good is passed to the customer upon shipment date since the customer has legal title, the rewards of ownership, and has paid for the merchandise as of the shipment date. This reflects a change in timing in how we previously recognized revenue for our direct-to-customer sales. Prior to the adoption of Topic 606, the Company recognized such revenue upon date of delivery. As a result of this change, the Company recorded $1 million, net of tax, as an increase to opening retained earnings to reflect the cumulative effect of adopting this change. We have elected to account for shippingShipping and handling is accounted for as a fulfillment activity. The Company accrues the cost and recognized revenue for these activities upon shipment date.

Gift Cards

The Company sells to its customers gift cards, which do not have expiration dates. Revenue from gift card sales is recorded when the gift cards are redeemed. Effective as of the first quarter of 2018 with the adoption of Topic 606, gift card breakage is recognized as revenue in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the customer, unless there is a legal obligation to remit the value of unredeemed gift cards to the relevant jurisdictions. This reflects a change in our accounting for gift card breakage from the remote method to the proportional method.  As a result of adopting Topic 606, the Company recorded $4 million, or $3 million net of tax, as an increase to opening retained earnings to reflect the cumulative effect of this change based upon historical redemption patterns.  Additionally, breakage income was previously recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses, however this amount is currently reported within sales as required by the standard. This change in classification is not considered significant.

Our operating segments are identified according to how our business activities are managed and evaluated by our chief operating decision maker, our CEO. Prior to fiscalDuring 2018, the Company had two reportable segments: Athletic Storesexpanded into Asia and Direct-to-Customers. Beginninglaunched our digital channels across Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. In addition, we entered China through a limited offering in fiscal 2018,partnership with Tmall (a Chinese-language platform for business-to-consumer online retail). During the first quarter of 2019, the Company has changed its organizational and internal reporting structure in order to executesupport an accelerated growth strategy for the region. We opened an Asian headquarters in Singapore and realigned our omni-channel strategy. organization into three distinct geographic regions: Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), Asia Pacific, and North America.

In light of these changes, the Company has re-evaluated its operating segments, which now reflect the combination of stores and direct-to-customer by geography.segments.

FOOT LOCKER, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As a resultIn light of the first quarter change in our organizational and internal reporting structure in the first quarter of 2019, we have determined that we have one reportable segment. We have reassessed our reporting units in light of this change and have deemeddetermined that the collective omni-channel banners in North America, EMEA, and International to beAsia Pacific are the twothree reporting units at which goodwill is tested. Therefore,

Accordingly, goodwill was re-allocated to thesebetween the affected reporting units based on their relative fair values. As required, we conducted ourthe annual impairment review both before and after this change. Neither review resulted in the recognition of impairment, as the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value.

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 most store leases contain rent escalation provisions. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases beginning in 2019 and later, the Company will combine lease components (e.g. rental payments) and non-lease components (e.g. common area maintenance costs and utilities).

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.

8. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss7. Leases – (continued)

Since the rates implicit in the leases are not readily determinable, 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. 

Accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”), net of tax, is comprisedSome of the following: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.

9. Income Taxes

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”). This update provides guidance on income tax accounting implications under Public Law 115-97, informally known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"), which was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax by, among other things, lowering the statutory corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, eliminating certain deductions, imposing a mandatory one-time tax on accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries, introducing new tax regimes, and changing how foreign earnings are subject to U.S. tax. SAB 118 addressed the application of GAAP to situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act. As of the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company had not completed the determination of the accounting implications of the Tax Act on the Company’s tax accruals. However, we reasonably estimated the effects of the Tax Act and recognized a provisional net tax expense of $99 million associated with the Tax Act in the fourth quarter of 2017.

For the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2018, our accounting for the Tax Act is still incomplete. We have not made any measurement-period adjustments related to these items during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 because we have not finalized the following items: the earnings and profits of the relevant subsidiaries, deemed repatriation of deferred foreign income, and prior-year deferred tax activity. We are continuing to gather additional information to complete our accounting for these items and expect to complete our accounting within the one-year time period provided by SAB 118. Any adjustment to these amounts during the measurement period will be recorded in income tax expense in the period in which the analysis is complete.

FOOT LOCKER, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company continues to evaluate the provisions of the Tax Act, including the global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) and the foreign derived intangible income (“FDII”) provisions. The Company has made an accounting policy election to treat GILTI taxes as a current period expense.

The ultimate effect of the Tax Act may differ from these provisional amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, as well as any related actions the Company may take.

For the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2018, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $64 million, which represented an effective tax rate of 27.9 percent, compared with the prior-year income tax provision of $89 million, which represented an effective tax rate of 33.0 percent. The Company’s interim provision for income taxes is measured using an annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items that occur within the periods presented.

10. Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s financial assets recorded at fair value are categorized as follows:

Level 1 –     Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 –Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3 –Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable.

11.10. Earnings Per Share

The Company accounts for and discloses earnings per share using the treasury stock method. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding at the end of the period. Restricted stock awards, which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, are considered participating securities and are included in the calculation of basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share reflects the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period used in the basic earnings per share computation plus dilutive common stock equivalents.

However, RSU awards made in connection with the Company’s performance-based long-term incentive program are earned after the attainment of certain performance metrics and vest after the passage of time. Restricted stock is considered outstanding at the time of grant and the holders have voting rights. Dividends are paid to holders of restricted stock that vest with the passage of time. With regard to performance-based restricted stock, dividends will be accumulated and paid after the performance criteria are met. No dividends are paid or accumulated on any RSU awards. Compensation expense is recognized using the market value at the date of grant and is amortized over the vesting period, provided the recipient continues to be employed by the Company.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the last several years, the Company and the Company’s U.S. retirement plan have been defendants in a class action (Osberg v. Foot Locker Inc. et ano., filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York) in which the plaintiff alleged that, in connection with the 1996 conversion of the retirement plan to a defined benefit plan with a cash balance formula, the Company and the retirement plan failed to properly advise plan participants of the “wear-away” effect of the conversion.

In early 2018, the Company exhausted all of its legal remedies and is required to reform the pension plan consistent with the trial court’s decision and judgment. The amount accrued as of February 3, 2018 was $278 million.  During the first quarter of 2018, the estimated value of the judgment was increased by $11 million, of which $7 million related to a change in the estimated value of the judgment, based on additional facts as to how the reformation should be calculated, and $4 million related to the interest that continues to accrue as required by the provisions of the required plan reformation. We have been, and will continue, working with plaintiffs’ counsel and the court on the specific steps needed to implement the judgment, which we expect to occur during our second quarter. Until the court enters its final order the Company cannot complete the reformation of the plan as the actual terms of the reformation must be approved by the court. The court will be ruling on the fairness of the class counsel fees and how those costs will be shared by the class members. We believe the amount we have accrued for this matter is appropriate in light of the facts as we currently understand them.

Management does not believe that the outcome of any such legal proceedings pending against the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries, as described above, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations, taken as a whole, based upon current knowledge and taking into consideration current accruals. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. Judgments could be rendered or settlements made that could adversely affect the Company’s operating results or cash flows in a particular period.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to reporting the Company's financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company reports certain financial results that differ from what is reported under GAAP. We have presented certain financial measures identified as non-GAAP, such as sales changes excluding foreign currency fluctuations, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share.

20

Table of Contents

We present certain amounts as excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, which are also considered non-GAAP measures. Where amounts are expressed as excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, such changes are determined by translating all amounts in both years using the prior-year average foreign exchange rates.  Presenting amounts on a constant currency basis is useful to investors because it enables them to better understand the changes in our business that are not related to currency movements.

These non-GAAP measures are presented because we reinforcebelieve they assist investors in comparing our image withperformance across reporting periods on a consistent message namely,basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core business or affect comparability. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are useful in assessing our progress in achieving our long-term financial objectives.

The various non-GAAP adjustments are summarized in the tables below.  We estimate the tax effect of all non-GAAP adjustments by applying a destinationmarginal tax rate to each of the respective items.

The non-GAAP financial information is provided in addition to, and not as an alternative to, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Segment Reporting

We identify our operating segments according to how our business activities are managed and evaluated by our chief operating decision maker, our CEO. Prior to fiscal 2018, we had two reportable segments, Athletic Stores and Direct-to-Customers.

Table of Contents

Beginning in fiscal 2018, the Company has changed its organizational and internal reporting structure in order to execute our omni-channel strategy. This change resulted in the combination of our stores and direct-to-customer financial results.

16


TheEffective as of 2019, the Company has determined that it has twothree operating segments, North America, EMEA, and International.Asia Pacific. Our North America operating segment includes the results of the following banners:banners operating in the U.S. and Canada: Foot Locker, Kids Foot Locker, Lady Foot Locker, Champs Sports, Footaction, and SIX:02, Foot Locker Canada, including each of their related e-commerce businesses, as well as our Eastbay business that includes internet, catalog, and team services and sales. Our InternationalEMEA operating segment includes the results of the following banners operating in Europe: Foot Locker, Runners Point, Sidestep, and Kids Foot Locker, including each of their related e-commerce businesses. Our Asia Pacific operating segment includes the results of Foot Locker Europe, Runners Point, Sidestep,and Kids Foot Locker Asia Pacific, including each of theirand the related e-commerce businesses.businesses operating in Australia, New Zealand, and Asia. We have further aggregated these operating segments into one reportable segment based upon their shared customer base and similar economic characteristics. Please see Item 1. “Financial Statements,” Note 3, Segment Information for further information on this change.

Store Count

At May 5, 2018,  we operated 3,284 stores as compared with 3,310 and 3,354 stores at February 3, 2018 and April 29, 2017, respectively. A total of 116 franchised stores were operating at May 5, 2018, as compared with 112 and 77 stores at February 3, 2018 and April 29, 2017, respectively. Revenue from the franchised stores was not significant for any of the periods presented. These stores are not included in the operating store count above.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company presents certain non-GAAP measures, such as sales changes excluding foreign currency fluctuations, adjusted net income before income taxes, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share. Throughout the following discussions, where amounts are expressed as excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, such changes are determined by translating all amounts in both years using the prior-year average foreign exchange rates.

We present these non-GAAP measures because we believe they assist investors in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that are not indicative of our core business. Presenting amounts on a constant currency basis is useful to investors because it enables them to better understand the changes in our businesses that are not related to currency movements. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are useful in assessing the Company’s progress in achieving its long-term financial objectives.

The non-GAAP financial information is provided in addition to, and not as an alternative to, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company estimates the tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments by applying its marginal rate to each of the respective items. Presented below is a reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2018 and April 29, 2017, respectively.

Included in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019 are pre-tax charges of $1 million relating to pension litigation. Included in the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2018 is a pre-tax charge of $12 million relating to a pension litigation matter described further in Note 14, Legal Proceedings.  the same matter.

Corporate expense consists of unallocated selling, general and administrative expenses as well as depreciation and amortizationrelated to the Company’s corporate headquarters, centrally managed departments, unallocated insurance and benefit programs, certain foreign exchange transaction gains and losses, and other items. Depreciation and amortization included in corporate expense was $4 million and $3 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2018 and April 29, 2017, respectively.

The allocation of corporate expense to the operating divisions is adjusted annually based upon an internal study; accordingly, the allocation increased by $10 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2018 thus reducing corporate expense. Excluding the corporate allocation change as well as depreciation and amortization, corporate expense increased by $5 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2018. The increase for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2018 was primarily due to increased corporate support costs primarily related to information technology.

(3)

Other income includes non-operating items, such as lease termination gains,franchise royalty income, changes in fair value, premiums paid, realized gains and losses associated with foreign currency option contracts, changes in the market value of our available-for-sale, security, and net benefit expense related to our pension and postretirement programs excluding the service cost component.

The increase in other income for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2018 as compared with the corresponding prior-year period primarily reflects increased royalty income and lease termination gains.

Sales

All references to comparable-store sales for a given period relate to sales of stores that were open at the period-end and had been open for more than one year. The computation of consolidated comparable-storecomparable sales also includes our direct-to-customer channel. Stores opened or closed during the period are not included in the comparable-store base; however, stores closed temporarily for relocation or remodeling are included. Computations exclude the effect of foreign currency fluctuations.

Effective withSales increased by $53 million, or 2.6 percent, to $2,078 million for the first quarter of 2018, the Company discloses one reportable segment and accordingly the following discussion describes the changes in sales by banner on an omni-channel basis, meaning that each banner’s results are inclusive of their store and e-commerce activity.

Excluding the effect of foreign currency, sales declinedthirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019, from $2,025 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 20182018. Excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, total sales increased by 4.7 percent for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019.  

Total comparable sales increased by 4.6 percent for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019. Overall, both channels generated a comparable sales gain for the period. This result was led by the growth in our direct-to-customers channel, which increased by 14.8 percent for the quarter. The improvement in our direct-to-customers channel reflecting continued positive customer sentiment as a result of our various e-commerce enhancements. Our stores channel sales also performed well and increased by 2.9 percent for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019.  

The comparable sales result for the first quarter was led by our EMEA operating segment, where both stores and e-commerce garnered sales gains. Europe’s sales increase was primarily related to growth in our stores, coupled with growth in e-commerce penetration. In North America, Champs Sports drove the increase.  Footaction and Kids Foot Locker experienced lower sales in the first quarter of 2019, as compared with the corresponding prior-year period. The decline in Footaction’s sales primarily reflected the lack of product availability of certain key men’s footwear styles. Kids Foot Locker’s decline was primarily related to declines in sales of apparel. Asia Pacific continued to increase both from the store expansion in Asia and increased sales from our Foot Locker Europe, Champs Sports, Runners Point, Sidestep, and Footaction banners. The sales decline for these banners primarily reflected a decreaseoperations in footwear sales,Australia which was partially offsetprimarily the result of growth in our e-commerce business.

From a product perspective for the combined channels, the increase in comparable sales was across both our footwear and apparel categories. The increase was mainly the result of increased sales of footwear, which reflected increases in all wearer segments. Footwear sales were led by gains in apparel for mostsales of these banners. Our European businesses were negatively affected by the decline in popularity of certainwomen’s court and casual footwear styles. Foot LockerKids footwear sales increased and Kids Foot Locker both experienced an increaseprimarily reflected strength in sales, which was primarily driven by the apparel category in addition to gains in the children’s footwear category. Our e-commerce business in Europe experienced a decline, while our U.S. e-commerce business was relatively flat with the prior year on a comparable basis.

The footwear category experienced a decline during the quarter and was primarily caused by a decline in men’s basketball, which was offset, in part, by an increase in certain running styles. The comparable-storeMen’s footwear sales declinereflected increases in women’s footwear primarily reflected decreases in women’scasual and running and court styles, reflecting the prior-year successwhile sales of certain offerings with no such comparable offerings in the current year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our primary source of liquidity has beencontinues to be cash flow from earnings,operations, while the principal uses of cash have beenare to: fund inventory and other working capital requirements; finance capital expenditures related to store openings, store remodelings, Internetinternet and mobile sites, information systems, and other support facilities; make retirement plan contributions, quarterly dividend payments, and interest payments; and fund other cash requirements to support the development of our short-term and long-term operating strategies. We generally finance real estate with operating leases. We believe our cash, cash equivalents, and future cash flow from operations will be adequate to fund these requirements.

The Company may also from time to time repurchase its common stock or seek to retire or purchase outstanding debt through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Share repurchases and retirement of debt, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, strategic considerations, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. As of May 5, 2018,  approximately $646 million4, 2019, all of $1.2 billion remained available under the Company’s current $1.2 billion3-year share repurchase program.

As discussed further in Through June 11, 2019, the Legal Proceedings note under “Item 1. Financial Statements,” duringCompany has repurchased $112 million or 2.7 million shares after the end of the first quarter of 2018, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $12 million ($9million after-tax or $0.07 per diluted share) in connection with the pension litigation. The accrued amount as of May 5, 2018 was $289 million and is classified as a long-term liability. The accrual will continue to increase with interest until paid, as required by the provisions of the required plan reformation. The Company expects to make contributions totaling $128 million to the pension plan during 2018 to fund a portion of this liability. The timing and the amount of actual contributions to the pension plan are dependent on when the court approves the reformation, the funded status of the plan, and various other factors, such as interest rates and the performance of the plan’s assets.

quarter.

Any material adverse change in customer demand, fashion trends, competitive market forces, or customer acceptance of our merchandise mix and retail locations, uncertainties related to the effect of competitive products and pricing, our reliance on a few key vendors for a significant portion of our merchandise purchases and risks associated with global product sourcing, economic conditions worldwide, the effects of currency fluctuations, as well as other factors listed under the heading “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” could affect our ability to continue to fund our needs from business operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K10‑K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Descriptions of the recently issued and adopted accounting principles are included in Item 1. “Financial Statements” in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The Company’s contractual cash obligations and commercial commitments at May 5, 2018 and the effects such obligations and commitments are expected to have on the Company’s liquidity and cash flows in future periods have not changed significantly since February 3, 2018 other than amounts related to tax reform. The Company plans to elect to pay the tax related to the mandatory deemed repatriation (“toll charge”) in annual installments over an eight year period. During the first quarter of 2018, the IRS issued a Q&A which indicated that a taxpayer may not receive a refund, or credit any portion of properly applied 2017 tax payments, unless the amount of payments exceeds the entire unpaid toll charge. Due to the Company’s prepayments with the IRS, the entire amount of the toll charge has been satisfied. Approximately $10 million related to tax reform remains payable, however the timing of payment is not determinable at this time.

Item 4. ControlsControls and Procedures

During the quarter, the Company’s management performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e)13a‑15(e) and 15d-15(e)15d‑15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information relating to the Company that is required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We are currently migrating our point-of-sale software to a new platform. Approximately 5002,300 stores have been converted to the new software platform as of May 5, 2018,4, 2019, and we currently expect to complete the implementation primarily in this fiscal year.during the second half of 2019. In connection with this implementation and resulting business process changes, we may make changes to the design and operation toof our internal control over financial reporting.

Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2018 the Company implemented a new lease accounting system in advance of the adoption of the new leasing standard that was effective the first quarter of 2019. We revised our controls in connection with this adoption and will further refine business processes and make changes to the design and implementation of our internal control in connection with the new standard.

During the quarter ended May 5, 2018,4, 2019, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, other than the implementation of new point-of-sale software and lease accounting system noted above, (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f)13a‑15(f) of the Exchange Act) that materially affected or are reasonably likely to affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
