Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been condensed or omitted according to the rules and regulations of the SEC, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto contained in ourAnnualour Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017.February 3, 2018.

Our basic and diluted earnings per share are computed using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation that determines net income per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to their participation rights in dividends and undistributed earnings or losses. Non-vested restricted stock awards that include non-forfeitable rights to dividends are considered participating securities. During periods of undistributed losses, however, no effect is given to our participating securities since they do not share in the losses. Per share amounts are computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during each period. No options to purchase shares of common stock were excluded in the computation of diluted shares for the periods presented.
Note 3 - Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on the recognition of revenue for all contracts with customers designed to improve comparability and enhance financial statement disclosures. Subsequently, the FASB has also issued accounting standards updates which clarify the guidance. The underlying principle of this comprehensive model is that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the payment to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015,We adopted the FASB subsequently issuednew revenue guidance which approvedon February 4, 2018, using a one year deferralmodified retrospective transition approach. We recorded an increase in retained earnings of $620,000 as a cumulative effect of the guidance until annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017, which makes the guidance effective for us at the beginning of fiscal 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. While we have made progressadoption based on our scoping reviewevaluation of incomplete contracts as of the adoption date. This increase to retained earnings included pre-tax adjustments in connection with e-commerce revenue of $171,000 and assessment phase, we are still evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our financial statements and related disclosures, and we are continuing to evaluate the method of adoption we will use when we transition to this guidance. At this time the key areas of focus include timing of recognizing revenue for our multi-channel business, recognition of breakage revenue for unredeemed gift cards of $649,000, partially offset by a $200,000 adjustment related to the tax impact of the cumulative effect adjustments. The cumulative effect e-commerce adjustment is related to recognizing revenue when products are shipped from our customer loyalty program,stores or distribution center under the new guidance rather than recognizing revenue when the shipments were delivered under the previous revenue guidance. The cumulative effect gift card breakage adjustment is related to the unredeemed portion of our gift cards, which are now estimated using historical breakage percentages and presentationrecognized based on expected gift card usage, rather than waiting until the likelihood of customer relatedredemption becomes remote. In addition to these changes, we also now record a right of return reserves onasset in inventory for the balance sheet.
In July 2015,estimated cost of the FASB issued guidance on simplifying the measurement of inventory by requiring inventoryexpected to be measured atreturned. Under the lower of costprevious revenue guidance, we recorded a net returns reserve in accrued and net realizable value. The new guidance does not apply to inventory measured using the last-in-first-out or the retail inventory valuation methods. We adopted the provisions of this guidance on January 29, 2017.other liabilities. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position, resultsstatements. See Note 6 for additional discussion of operations or cash flows.this adoption as well as additional disclosures on revenue from contracts with customers.
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance which will replace most existing lease accounting guidance. This update requires an entity to recognize leased assets and the rights and obligations created by those leased assets on the balance sheet and to disclose key information about the entity’s leasing arrangements. The guidance will be effective at the beginning of fiscal 2019, including interim periods within that fiscal year, and will be applied on a modified retrospective basis. We are evaluating the impact of this guidance on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.statements. The adoption of the guidance will require us to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that will be material to our consolidated balance sheet.
In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance intended to simplify several areas of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements, including the income tax impact, classification in the statement of cash flows and forfeitures. We adopted the provisions of this guidance on January 29, 2017. As a result of this adoption, all tax-related cash flows resulting from share-based payments in fiscal 2017 are presented as operating activities on the statements of cash flows, as we elected to adopt this portion of the guidance on a prospective basis. Additionally, we made an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures when they occur rather than estimating the number of awards that are expected to vest. As a result of this election, we recorded a cumulative-effect benefit of $188,000 to retained earnings as of the date of adoption.
In November 2016, the FASB issued guidancefor restricted cash classification and presentation on the statement of cash flows, requiring restricted cash to be included within cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows. The guidance will be effective at the beginning of fiscal 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year, and will be applied on a retrospective basis. We do not believe the guidance will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
In May 2017, the FASB issued guidance which clarifies what constitutes a modification of a share-based payment award. We adopted the provisions of this guidance on February 4, 2018. The adoption of this guidance will be effective at the beginning of fiscal 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance requires adoption on a prospective basis for share-based payment awards modified on or after the adoption date We dodid not believe the guidance will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2018, the FASB issued guidance on the income tax accounting implications of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”), addressing the application of guidance in situations when a company does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act. The guidance provides a one-year measurement period to assess the Tax Act, which began in the reporting period of the enactment date of the Tax Act. Due to the timing of the enactment and the complexity involved in applying the provisions of the Tax Act, we made reasonable estimates of the effects and recorded provisional amounts in our financial statements for the year ended February 3, 2018 that remain unchanged for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2018. We recorded $4.4 million of additional income tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2017 related to the remeasurement of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future. The U.S. Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), and other standard-setting bodies may issue guidance on how the provisions of the Tax Act will be applied or otherwise administered that is different from our interpretation. As we collect and prepare necessary data, and interpret the Tax Act and any additional guidance issued by the IRS or other standard-setting bodies, we may make adjustments to the provisional amounts that could materially affect our financial position and results of operations or cash flows.as well as our effective tax rate in the period in which the adjustments are made.
Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements
The accounting standards related to fair value measurements define fair value and provide a consistent framework for measuring fair value under the authoritative literature. Valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. This guidance only applies when other standards require or permit the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities. The guidance does not expand the use of fair value measurements. A fair value hierarchy was established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels:
· | Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
· | Level 2 – Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; and |
· | Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. Generally, these fair value measures are model-based valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows, and are based on the best information available, including our own data. Fair values of our long-lived assets are estimated using an income-based approach and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. |
The following table presentsWe had no material assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at July 29, 2017,January 28, 2017 and July 30, 2016. We have no materialor liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis.

The fair values of cash receivables,and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their carrying values because of their short-term nature. In addition, we believe that our credit facility obligation, which is recorded at historical cost and is classified as long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 29, 2017, approximates fair value as the interest rate is adjusted based on current market rates.
From time to time, we measure certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis, specifically long-lived assets evaluated for impairment. These are typically store specific assets, which are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that recoverability of their carrying value is questionable. If the expected, undiscounted future cash flows related to a store’s assets are less than their carrying value, an impairment loss would be recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value and recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. We estimate the fair value of store assets using an income-based approach considering the cash flows expected over the remaining lease term for each location. These projections are primarily based on management’s estimates of store-level sales, gross margins, direct expenses, exercise of future lease renewal options and resulting cash flows and, by their nature, include judgments about how current initiatives will impact future performance. External factors, such as the local environment in which the store resides, including strip-mall traffic and competition, are evaluated in terms of their effect on sales trends. Changes in sales and operating income assumptions or unfavorable changes in external factors can significantly impact the estimated future cash flows. An increase or decrease in the projected cash flow can significantly decrease or increase the fair value of these assets, which would have an effect on the impairment recorded.
There were no impairments of long-lived assets recorded during the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2018. During the thirteen weeks ended JulyApril 29, 2017, we recorded an impairment charge of $916,000$646,000 on long-lived assets.assets held and used, which was included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the period. Subsequent to this impairment, these long-lived assets had a remaining unamortized basis of $286,000. During the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2017, we recorded an impairment charge of $1.6 million on long-lived assets. Subsequent to this impairment, these long-lived assets had a remaining unamortized basis of $1.3 million. There were no impairments of long-lived assets recorded during the thirteen or twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2016.$662,000.
Note 5 - Stock-Based Compensation
At our 2017 annual meeting of shareholders held on June 13, 2017, our shareholders approved a new equity incentive plan, the Shoe Carnival, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), which replacesreplaced our 2000 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2000 Plan”). According to the terms of the 2017 Plan, upon approval of the 2017 Plan by our shareholders, no further awards may be made under the 2000 Plan. A maximum of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock are available for issuance and sale under the 2017 Plan. In addition, any shares of our common stock subject to an award granted under the 2017 Plan, or to an award granted under the 2000 Plan that was outstanding on the date our shareholders approved the 2017 Plan, that expires, is cancelled or forfeited, or is settled for cash will, to the extent of such cancellation, forfeiture, expiration or cash settlement, automatically become available for future awards under the 2017 Plan.
Stock-based compensation includes stock options, cash-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs)(“SARs”), restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and restricted stock awards.units (“RSUs”). Additionally, we recognize stock-based compensation expense for the discount on shares sold to employees through our employee stock purchase plan. For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2017, stock-based compensation expense for the employee stock purchase plan was $9,000 before the income tax benefit of $3,000 and $20,000 before the income tax benefit of $8,000, respectively. For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2016, stock-basedStock-based compensation expense for the employee stock purchase plan was $11,000 before the income tax benefit of $4,000$3,000 and $24,000$11,000 before the income tax benefit of $9,000,$4,000 for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2018, and April 29, 2017, respectively.
No stock options have been granted since fiscal 2008. All outstanding options had vested as of the end of fiscal 2011; therefore no unrecognized compensation expense remains. In the first six months of fiscal 2017 there were 3,500 options exercised and there were 3,500 options outstanding and exercisable as of July 29, 2017.

The $1.1 million of expense recognized in the first six months of fiscal 2017 was comprised of compensation expense of $2.1 million, partially offset by income of $916,000. The income was attributable to the reversal of the cumulative prior period expense for performance-based awards, which were deemed by management as no longer probable to vest prior to their expiration.19, 2012.
As of July 29, 2017,May 5, 2018, approximately $6.2$3.4 million of unrecognized compensation expense remained related to both our performance-based and service-based restricted stock awards.RSAs. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.61.1 years.

The increase in compensation expense for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2018 compared to the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2017 was primarily due to a cumulative reversal of prior period expense of $916,000, which was included in the $11,000 of expense recognized for the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2017. This reversal of expense was related to performance-based RSAs, which were deemed by management as being no longer probable to vest prior to their expiration.

Note 6 – Revenue
Revenue Recognition Adoption and Practical Expedients
We adopted and applied the new revenue guidance in Accounting Standards Codification 606 (“ASC 606”) as of February 4, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition approach. Based on this approach, the condensed consolidated financial statements for prior periods were not restated and are reported under the prior revenue guidance in effect for the periods presented. We elected the practical expedient to treat shipping and handling activities associated with freight charges that occur after control of the product transfers to the customer as fulfillment activities. These costs are expensed as incurred and included in cost of sales in our condensed consolidated statements of income. We also elected the practical expedient for sales tax collected, which allows us to exclude from our transaction price any amounts collected from customers for sales tax and other similar taxes. There were no changes to our comparative reporting of shipping and handling costs included in cost of sales or accounting for sales tax as a result of the adoption of ASC 606.
Accounting Policy and Performance Obligations
We operate as a multi-channel, family footwear retailer and provide the convenience of shopping at our brick and mortar stores or shopping online through our e-commerce and mobile platform. As part of our multi-channel strategy, we offer Shoes 2U, a program that enables us to ship product to a customer’s home or selected store if the product is not in stock. We also offer “buy online, pick up in store” and “buy online, ship to store” services for our customers. “Buy online pick up in store” and “buy online ship to store” provide the convenience of local pickup for our customers.
AsSubstantially all of July 29, 2017, approximately $23,000our revenue is for a single performance obligation and is recognized when control passes to customers. We consider control to have transferred when we have a present right to payment, the customer has title to the product, physical possession of the product has been transferred and the risks and rewards of the product that we retain is minimal. For our brick and mortar stores, we satisfy our performance obligation and control is transferred at the point of sale when the customer takes possession of the products. This also includes the “buy online pick up in unrecognized compensation expense remainedstore” and “buy online ship to store” scenarios described above and includes Shoes 2U if the customer chooses the option of picking up their goods in-store. For sales made through our e-commerce site or mobile app in which the customer chooses home delivery, we transfer control and recognize revenue when the product is shipped from our stores or distribution center. This also includes Shoes 2U if the customer chooses the option of having goods delivered to their home.
The redemption of loyalty points under our Shoe Perks loyalty rewards program (“Shoe Perks”) and redemptions of gift cards may be part of any transaction. These situations represent separate performance obligations that are embedded in the contract and are more fully described below.
Transaction Price and Payment Terms
The transaction price is the amount of consideration we expect to receive from our customers and is reduced by any stated promotional discounts at the time of purchase. The transaction price may be variable due to terms that permit customers to exchange or return products for a refund within a limited period of time. The implicit contract with the customer reflected in the transaction receipt states the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price of each product purchased. The customer agrees to a stated price in the contract that does not vary over the term of the contract. Taxes imposed by governmental authorities such as sales taxes are excluded from net sales.
Our brick and mortar stores accept various forms of payment from customers at point of sale. These include cash, checks, credit/debit cards and gift cards. Our e-commerce and mobile platforms accept credit/debit cards, PayPal and gift cards as forms of payment. Payments made for products are generally collected when control passes to the customer either at point of sale or at the time the customer order is shipped. For Shoes 2U transactions, customers may order the product at the point of sale. For these transactions, customers pay in advance and unearned revenue is recorded as a contract liability. We recognize the related revenue when control has been transferred to the customer (i.e., when the product is picked up by the customer or shipped to the customer). Unearned revenue related to non-vested SARs.Shoes 2U was not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements at May 5, 2018.
Returns and Refunds
It is our policy to allow brick and mortar and online customers to exchange or return products for a refund within a limited period of time. We have established a returns allowance based upon historical experience in order to estimate these transactions. This expenseallowance is recorded as a reduction in sales with a corresponding refund liability recorded in accrued and other liabilities. The estimated cost of merchandise inventory is recorded as a reduction to cost of sales and an increase in merchandise inventories. At May 5, 2018, approximately $706,000 of refund liabilities and $474,000 of right of return assets associated with estimated product returns were recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Contract Liabilities
We sell gift cards in our brick and mortar stores and through our e-commerce and mobile platform. Gift card purchases are recorded as an increase to contract liabilities at the time of purchase and a decrease to contract liabilities when a customer redeems a gift card. Under the previous revenue guidance, when a customer did not use the entire value of their gift card, we recorded this unredeemed portion of the gift card as revenue when the likelihood of redemption became remote (i.e., breakage). Under ASC 606, estimated breakage is determined based on historical breakage percentages and recognized as revenue based on expected gift card usage. This new policy results in earlier recognition of breakage revenue compared to the previous guidance. Consistent with the previous guidance, we do not record breakage revenue when escheat liability to relevant jurisdictions exists. At May 5, 2018, approximately $1.4 million of contract liabilities associated with unredeemed gift cards were recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We expect the revenue associated with these liabilities to be recognized in proportion to the pattern of customer redemptions within two years.
We offer our customers the opportunity to enroll in our Shoe Perks program, which accrues points and provides customers with the opportunity to earn rewards. Points under Shoe Perks are earned primarily by making purchases either in-store or through our online platform. Once a certain threshold of accumulated points is reached, the customer earns a reward certificate, which is redeemable at any of our stores or online. Under the previous guidance, after the certificates were batched, issued and awarded to customers at the end of the month, we recorded a liability for the estimated cost of the reward certificates expected to be redeemed. This liability was immaterial at the adoption date and all related certificates expired prior to May 5, 2018 in accordance with the terms of the awards. Under ASC 606, when a Shoe Perks customer makes a purchase, we allocate the transaction price between the goods and the loyalty reward points based on the relative standalone selling price. The portion allocated to the material right is recorded as a contract liability for rewards that are expected to be redeemed. We then recognize revenue based on an estimate of when customers exercise their rights to redeem the rewards, which incorporates an estimate of points expected to expire using historical rates. At May 5, 2018, approximately $264,000 of contract liabilities associated with loyalty rewards were recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We expect the revenue associated with these liabilities to be recognized overin proportion to the pattern of customer redemptions in less than one year.
We are a weighted-average periodmulti-channel retailer that provides our customers with the convenience of approximately 0.7 years.home delivery. Our customers may choose this delivery method when purchasing products online, through our mobile app or via Shoes 2U. These products are picked up at our stores or distribution center and delivered by third party freight companies. Under the previous guidance, which was primarily based on a risks and rewards approach, when product was shipped to our customers, we recognized revenue based on an estimated customer receipt date. Since we collect payment upon shipment, this resulted in deferred revenue, which was recognized when the customer took receipt of the product. Under ASC 606, which is control-based, we transfer control and recognize revenue when the product is shipped from our stores or distribution center. This change had the effect of eliminating the deferred revenue accounting treatment under the previous guidance, and we no longer record an initial liability when sales are shipped to our customers.
Impact of Adoption
The impact of the new guidance on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 5, 2018 is below. In the table, the adjustments for merchandise inventories relate to: (1) the classification of the right of return assets associated with product returns previously recorded net of the refund liability in accrued and other liabilities, and (2) the cost basis of inventory for product shipped to customers not yet received under the previous revenue guidance. The adjustment for deferred income taxes relates to the tax effect of the cumulative effect adjustments.

Critical Accounting Policies
It is necessary for us to include certain judgments in our reported financial results. These judgments involve estimates based in part on our historical experience and incorporate the impact of the current general economic climate and company-specific circumstances. However, because future events and economic conditions are inherently uncertain, our actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Our accounting policies that require more significant judgments include those with respect to merchandise inventories, valuation of long-lived assets, insurance reserves and income taxes and are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017.February 3, 2018.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017.February 3, 2018. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information on recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Comparable store sales for the periods indicated include stores that have been open for 13 full months after such store’s grand opening prior to the beginning of the period, including those stores that have been relocated or remodeled. Therefore, stores opened or closed during the periods indicated are not included in comparable store sales. We include e-commerce sales in our comparable store sales. Due to our multi-channel retailer strategy, we view e-commerce sales as an extension of our physical stores.
Our fiscal year is a 52/53 week year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. Fiscal 2017 consisted of the 53 weeks ended February 3, 2018, while fiscal 2018 consists of the 52 weeks ending February 2, 2019. The 53rd week in fiscal 2017 caused a one-week shift in our fiscal calendar. As a result, each of our first three quarters in fiscal 2018 is shifted one week later compared to fiscal 2017. This one-week shift impacts our year-over-year sales comparisons when there are seasonal sales influences that fall near the respective quarter-end dates. To minimize the effect of this fiscal calendar shift on comparable store sales, our reported comparable store sales results for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other public disclosures compare the 13-week period ended May 5, 2018 to the 13-week period ended May 6, 2017. As such, changes in comparable store sales may not be consistent with changes in net sales reported for the fiscal period.

Net sales decreased $3.9 million to $488.5 million for the six-month period ended July 29, 2017, a 0.8% decrease compared to net sales of $492.4 million for the six-month period ended July 30, 2016. Of this decrease in net sales, $8.9 million was attributable to the 1.9% decrease in comparable store sales and $6.8 million was attributable to a loss in sales from the 18 stores closed since the beginning of fiscal 2016. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in sales of $11.8 million generated by the 31 new stores opened since the beginning of fiscal 2016.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased $2.4 million to $140.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2017 primarily due to the decrease in net sales. The gross profit margin for the first six months of fiscal 2017 decreased to 28.7% from 29.0% as reported in the comparable prior year period. The merchandise margin increased 0.2%, but buying, distribution and occupancy costs increased 0.5% as a percentage of sales compared to the same period last year primarily due to the deleveraging effect of lower same store sales on occupancy costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.9 million in the first six months of fiscal 2017 to $120.7 million compared to the same period last year. As a percentage of sales, these expenses increased to 24.7% in the first six months of fiscal 2017 from 24.1% in the first six months of fiscal 2016. The overall increase in selling, general and administrative expenses during the first six months of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to a $2.2 million increase in expenses for new stores net of expense reductions for stores that have closed, a $1.6 million increase in impairments of long-lived assets and a $1.1 million increase in employee healthcare expense. These increases were partially offset by a $2.2 million decrease in selling expenses associated with our comparable store base and decreases in stock-based compensation and incentive compensation expense totaling $1.4 million.

Included in the store closing costs in the first six months of fiscal 2017 were impairments of long-lived assets of $1.6 million. There were no impairments of long-lived assets recorded during the first six months of fiscal 2016.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2017 was 37.7% compared to 38.1% for the same period in fiscal 2016. Our provision for income tax expense is based on the current estimate of our annual effective tax rate and is adjusted as necessary for quarterly events. The decrease in the effective income tax rate between periods was primarily due to changes in state tax rates.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash generated from operations and availability under our credit facility. We believe these resources will be sufficient to fund our cash needs, as they arise, for at least the next 12 months. Our primary uses of cash are for working capital, which are principally inventory purchases, store initiatives, potential dividend payments, potential share repurchases under our share repurchase program, the financing of capital projects, including investments in new systems, and various other commitments and obligations.
Cash Flow - Operating Activities
Our net cash provided by operating activities was $8.5 million in the first three months of fiscal 2018 compared to cash used in operating activities was $26.5of $9.7 million in the first sixthree months of fiscal 2017 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $12.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2016.2017. These amounts reflect our income from operations adjusted for non-cash items and working capital changes.

Working capital increased to $271.6$260.8 million at JulyMay 5, 2018 from $251.0 million at April 29, 2017, from $269.9 million at July 30, 2016, primarily due to the decrease in accounts payable and ana $10.1 million increase in merchandise inventory, partially offset by the decrease in cash and cash equivalents, a $6.5 million increase in other current assets and an $8.0 million decrease in accounts payable, partially offset by a $13.7 million decrease in merchandise inventory, compared to the end of the secondfirst quarter of the prior year. The current ratio was 3.44.0 as of July 29, 2017,May 5, 2018 compared to 3.03.7 at July 30, 2016.April 29, 2017.
Cash Flow - Investing Activities
Our cash outflows for investing activities are primarily for capital expenditures. During the first six monthsquarter of fiscal 2018, we expended $1.0 million for the purchase of property and equipment, primarily related to investments in technology and normal asset replacement activities. During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we expended $12.7$7.5 million for the purchase of property and equipment, of which $8.1approximately $4.5 million was for new stores, remodeling and relocations. During the first six months of fiscal 2016, we expended $11.9relocations, and approximately $3.0 million for the purchase of property and equipment, of which $11.7 million was for new stores, remodeling and relocations. The remaining capital expenditures in both periods were for continued investments in technology and normal asset replacement activities.
Cash Flow - Financing Activities
CashOur cash outflows for financing activities have representedwere primarily for cash dividend payments and share repurchases and payments on our credit facility.repurchases. Shares of our common stock can be either acquired as part of a publicly announced share repurchase program or withheld by us in connection with employee payroll tax withholding upon the vesting of restricted stock awards. Our cash inflows from financing activities have represented proceeds from the issuance of shares as a result of stock option exercises, purchases under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and borrowings under our credit facility.
During the first sixthree months of fiscal 2017,2018, net cash used in financing activities was $5.2$20.4 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $27.9$20.5 million in the first sixthree months of fiscal 2016. The decrease in2017. Net cash used in financing activities between the two respective periods was primarily attributable to net borrowings$19.0 million of $26.7 million, partially offset by an increase of $4.1 million in common stock repurchased under our share repurchase program compared toduring the first sixthree months of fiscal 2016.2018 and $19.2 million repurchased in the first three months of fiscal 2017.

Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures for fiscal 2017,2018, including actual expenditures during the first sixthree months, are expected to be between $22$10 million and $23$11 million, with approximately $14$6 million to be used for new stores, relocations and remodels. The remaining capital expenditures are expected to be incurred for continued investments in technology and normal asset replacement activities. Lease incentives to be received from landlords during fiscal 2017,2018, including actual amounts received during the first sixthree months, are expected to be approximately $4$500,000 to $5$1 million. The actual amount of cash required for capital expenditures for store operations depends in part on the number of new stores opened and relocated, the amount of lease incentives, if any, received from landlords and the number of stores remodeled.
Store Openings and Closings
During fiscal 2018, we anticipate opening approximately three new stores, relocating one store and closing 20 to 25 stores. We believe that a continued, disciplined approach to new store openings is very important as we leverage our multi-channel strategy and pursue opportunities for brick and mortar stores across large, mid and smaller markets. We remain committed to long-term strategic store growth; however, with the changing landscape in brick and mortar stores, we believe more attractive real estate opportunities will become available in the marketplace if we remain diligent in our approach.
We aim to realize positive long-term financial performance for our store portfolio. We utilize a formal review process in our evaluation of potential new store sites as well as for decisions surrounding leases on existing store locations. Our approach is both qualitative and quantitative in nature. We look to continually enhance this process with tools such as real estate software used for portfolio analysis that aid in identifying viable locations for future expansion and identifying potential store closings and relocations.
In fiscal 2017, we anticipate opening 19 new stores. WeNo stores were opened 12 stores in the first six monthsquarter of fiscal 2017.2018. Pre-opening expenses, including rent, freight, advertising, salaries and supplies, are presently expected to total approximately $1.4 million$332,000 for fiscal 2017,2018, or an average of $72,000approximately $111,000 per store. The expected increase in average pre-opening expense per store is primarily due to higher expected costs associated with advertising in large, existing markets. During fiscal 2016,2017, we opened 19 new stores and expended $1.6$1.3 million on pre-opening expenses, or an average of $85,000$70,000 per store. The opening of new stores is dependent upon, among other things, the availability of desirable locations, the negotiation of acceptable lease terms and general economic and business conditions affecting consumer spending in areas we target for expansion.
We anticipate closing 25 to 27 stores in fiscal 2017. We closed ninethree stores during the first six monthsquarter of fiscal 2017. Four2018. Five stores were closed during the first six monthsquarter of fiscal 2016.2017. The timing and actual amount of expense recorded in closing a store can vary significantly depending, in part, on the period in which management commits to a closing plan, the remaining basis in the long-lived assets to be disposed of at closing and the cost incurred in terminating the lease.
We believe that a continued, disciplined approach to new store openings is very important as we leverage our multi-channel strategy and pursue opportunities for brick-and-mortar stores across large, mid and smaller markets. Over the past several years, we have analyzed our entire portfolio of stores, with a concentration on underperforming stores, to meet our long-term goal of increasing shareholder value through increasing operating income. Our objective is to identify and address underperforming stores that produce low or negative contribution and either renegotiate lease terms, relocate or close the store. Based on this analysis, we have identified 30 to 35 stores that we plan to close in fiscal 2018 if we cannot improve the performance of those stores to meet our minimum contribution level. Even though this wouldcould reduce our overall net sales volume, we believe this strategy would realize long-term improvement in operating income and diluted earnings per share. Depending upon the results of lease negotiations with certain landlords of underperforming stores, we may increase or decrease the number of store closures in future periods. We expect newwill continue to review our store openings for fiscal 2018 will beportfolio based on our view of the internal and external opportunities and challenges in the low single digit range. We remain committed to long-term strategic store growth; however, with the changing landscape in brick-and-mortar stores, we believe more attractive real estate opportunities will become available in the marketplace if we remain diligent in our approach.

Dividends
On June 13, 2017,March 22, 2018, our Board of Directors approved the payment of our secondfirst quarter cash dividend to our shareholders. The dividend of $0.075 per share was paid on July 17, 2017April 23, 2018 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on July 3, 2017.April 9, 2018.

Credit Facility
On March 27, 2017 we entered into a second amendment of our current unsecured credit agreement (as amended, the(the “Credit Agreement”) to extend the expiration date by five years to March 27, 2022 and to renegotiate certain terms and conditions. The Credit Agreement, as amended, continues to provide for up to $50.0 million in cash advances and commercial and standby letters of credit with borrowing limits based on eligible inventory, which amount may be increased from time to time by up to an additional $50.0 million, without the consent of any lender, if certain conditions are met.

We were in compliance with these covenants as of July 29, 2017.May 5, 2018. Should a default condition be reported, the lenders may preclude additional borrowings and call all loans and accrued interest at their discretion. The credit facility bears interest, at our option, at (1) the agent bank’s prime rate (asas defined in the Credit Agreement)Agreement plus 1%, with the prime rate defined as the greater of (a) the Federal FundsFund rate plus 0.50% or (b) the interest rate announced from time to time by the agent bank as its “prime rate” or (2) LIBOR plus 1.25% to 2.50%, depending on our achievement of certain performance criteria. A commitment fee is charged at 0.20% to 0.35% per annum, depending on our achievement of certain performance criteria, on the unused portion of the bank group’s commitment. As of July 29, 2017, there was $26.7 million ofThere were no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility and letters of credit outstanding were $1.4 million.$1.2 million at May 5, 2018. As of July 29, 2017, $21.9May 5, 2018, $48.8 million was available to us for additional borrowings under the credit facility. As of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we had no outstanding borrowings under our credit facility.
Share Repurchase Program
On December 6, 2016,14, 2017, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program for up to $50$50.0 million of outstanding common stock, effective January 1, 2017.2018. The purchases may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, from time-to-time through December 31, 2017,2018, and in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. On January 27, 2017,19, 2018, we entered into a stock repurchase plan for the purpose of repurchasing shares of our common stock in accordance with guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Rule 10b5-1 Plan”). The Rule 10b5-1 Plan was established pursuant to, and as part of, our share repurchase program and permitted shares to be repurchased in accordance with pre-determined criteria when repurchases would otherwise be prohibited, such as during self-imposed blackout periods, or under insider trading laws. The Rule 10b5-1 Plan was to expireexpired on May 26, 2017, but we terminated the plan on May 17, 2017 to ensure we remained in compliance with the covenant in our Credit Agreement regarding redemptions of our common stock described above. Under the terms of our Credit Agreement, we are not permitted to repurchase any shares of our common stock while there are outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. OurMarch 30, 2018. The share repurchase program may be amended, suspended or discontinued at any time and does not commit us to repurchase shares of our common stock. We have funded, and intend to continue to fund, the share repurchase program from cash on hand, and any shares acquired will be available for stock-based compensation awards and other corporate purposes. The actual number and value of the shares to be purchased will depend on the performance of our stock price and other market conditions.
During the secondfirst quarter of fiscal 2017,2018, we repurchased 469,000810,613 shares of common stock at a total cost of $10.2$19.0 million under the new share repurchase program. As of July 29, 2017, approximately 1.5 million shares at an aggregate cost of $36.5 million had been repurchased under the new share repurchase program. The amount that remained available under the share repurchase program at July 29, 2017May 5, 2018 was $13.5$31.0 million.
Seasonality and Quarterly Results
Our quarterly results of operations have fluctuated, and are expected to continue to fluctuate in the future, primarily as a result of seasonal variances and the timing of sales and costs associated with opening new stores and closing underperforming stores. Non-capital expenditures, such as advertising and payroll, incurred prior to the opening of a new store are charged to expense as incurred. The timing and actual amount of expense recorded in closing an individual store can vary significantly depending, in part, on the period in which management commits to a closing plan, the remaining basis in the fixed assets to be disposed of at closing and the cost incurred in terminating the lease. Therefore, our results of operations may be adversely affected in any quarter in which we incur pre-opening expenses related to the opening of new stores or incur store closing costs related to the closure of underperforming stores.
We have three distinct peak selling periods: Easter, back-to-school and Christmas. To prepare for our peak shopping seasons, we must order and keep in stock significantly more merchandise than we would carry during other parts of the year. Any unanticipated decrease in demand for our products during these peak shopping seasons could require us to sell excess inventory at a substantial markdown, which could reduce our net sales and gross margins and negatively affect our profitability. Our operating results depend significantly upon the sales generated during these periods.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk in that the interest payable under our credit facility is based on variable interest rates and therefore is affected by changes in market rates. We do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to changes in market interest rates. A 1% change in the weighted average interest rate chargedWe had no borrowings under theour credit facility would have resulted in interest expense fluctuating by approximately $21,000 forduring the second quarterfirst three months of fiscal 2018 or fiscal 2017.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of July 29, 2017,May 5, 2018, that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There has been no significant change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended July 29, 2017May 5, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
