Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION | BASIS OF PRESENTATION Office Depot, Inc. including its consolidated subsidiaries (“Office Depot” or the “Company”), is a leading provider of business services and supplies, products and technology solutions to small, medium and enterprise businesses, through a fully integrated business-to-business (“B2B”) distribution platform of 1,320 retail stores, online presence, and dedicated sales professionals and technicians. Through its banner brands Office Depot®, OfficeMax®, CompuCom® and Grand&Toy®, as well as others, the Company offers its customers the tools and resources they need to focus on starting, growing and running their business. The Company’s corporate headquarters is located in Boca Raton, FL, and its primary website is www.officedepot.com. As of June 29, 2019, the Company had three reportable segments (or “Divisions”): Business Solutions Division, Retail Division and the CompuCom Division. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 29, 2019, and for the 13-week and 26-week periods ended June 29, 2019 (also referred to as the “second quarter of 2019” and “the first half of 2019,” respectively) and June 30, 2018 (also referred to as the “second quarter of 2018” and “the first half of 2018,” respectively) are unaudited. However, in management’s opinion, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to provide a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Business acquisitions in 2018 and 2019 are included prospectively from the date of acquisition, thus affecting the comparability of the Company’s financial statements for all periods presented in this report on Form 10-Q. The Company has prepared the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Some information and note disclosures, which would normally be included in comprehensive annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those SEC rules and regulations. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. For a better understanding of the Company and its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company recommends reading these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with the audited financial statements, which are included in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that should be expected for the full year. |
CASH MANAGEMENT | CASH MANAGEMENT The cash management process generally utilizes zero balance accounts which provide for the settlement of the related disbursement and cash concentration accounts on a daily basis. As of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018, Trade accounts payable and Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, in the aggregate, included $22 At June 29, 2019, cash and cash equivalents from continuing operations held outside the United States amounted to $151 million. Restricted Cash : Restricted cash consists primarily of short-term cash deposits having original maturity dates of twelve months or less that serve as collateral to certain of the Company’s letters of credit. Restricted cash is valued at cost, which approximates fair value. At June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018, restricted cash amounted to $2 million and is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets |
LEASING ARRANGEMENTS | LEASING ARRANGEMENTS The Company conducts a substantial portion of its business in leased properties. Some of the Company’s leases contain escalation clauses and renewal options. The Company recognizes rental expense for operating leases that contain predetermined fixed escalation clauses on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the lease. Prior to the adoption of the new lease accounting standard on the first day of fiscal 2019, the expected term of a lease was calculated from the date the Company first took possession of the facility, including any periods of free rent, and extended through the non-cancellable period and any option or renewal periods management believed were reasonably assured of being exercised. Rent abatements and escalations were considered in the calculation of minimum lease payments in the Company’s lease classification assessment and in determining straight-line rent expense for operating leases. Straight-line rent expense was also adjusted to reflect any allowances or reimbursements provided by the lessor. When required under lease agreements, estimated costs to return facilities to original condition were accrued over the lease period. Subsequent to the adoption of the new lease accounting standard, the Company first determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. Once that determination is made, leasing arrangements are presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as follows: • Finance leases : o Property and equipment, net – leases which were referred to as capital leases under the old accounting standard; o Short-term borrowings and current maturities of long-term debt – short-term obligations to make lease payments arising from the finance lease; o Long-term debt, net of current maturities – long-term obligations to make lease payments arising from the finance lease. • Operating leases : o Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets – the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term; o Accrued expenses and other current liabilities – short-term obligations to make lease payments arising from the operating lease; o Operating lease liabilities – long-term obligations to make lease payments arising from the operating lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for any of the leases, the Company has utilized its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The Company uses the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term in an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made prior to commencement and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Certain leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease from five to 25 years or more, which is generally at the Company’s discretion. Any option or renewal periods management believed were reasonably certain of being exercised are included in the lease term. Operating lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, for which it has made an accounting policy election to account for these as a single lease component. Refer to the “New Accounting Standards” section below for more information including the impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relating to the adoption of the new lease accounting standard. |
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS | NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Standards that are not yet adopted: • Financial Instruments – Credit Losses : In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update that modifies the measurement of expected credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The update will change the accounting for credit impairment by adding an impairment model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. In July 2018, the FASB approved an amendment to the new guidance that provides transition relief to the adopting entities and allows for an election of the fair value option on certain financial instruments. This accounting standards update, as amended, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact of this new standard and believes the adoption will not have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. • Cloud computing arrangements : In August 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that provides guidance regarding the accounting for implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements. This accounting update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this new standard and believes the adoption will not have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. • Fair value measurements : In August 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that adds, removes, and modifies the disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. This accounting update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this new standard and believes the adoption will not have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. • Defined benefit plan : In August 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. This accounting update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this new standard and believes the adoption will not have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Standards that were adopted: • Leases : In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets related to the rights and obligations created by those leases. The accounting treatment for finance leases and lessors remains relatively unchanged. The accounting standards update also requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures related to the nature, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The initial standard required a modified retrospective transition approach, with application, including disclosures, in all comparative periods presented. In July 2018, the FASB approved an amendment to the new guidance that introduced an alternative modified retrospective transition approach granting companies the option of using the effective date of the new standard as the date of initial application. The Company adopted the standard on the first day of the first quarter of 2019 using this alternative transition approach. The Company elected the transition package of practical expedients that is permitted by the standard. The package of practical expedients allows the Company to not reassess previous accounting conclusions regarding whether existing arrangements are or contain leases, the classification of existing leases, and the treatment of initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the hindsight transition practical expedient allowed for by the new standard, which allows entities to use hindsight when determining lease term and impairment of ROU assets. Additionally, the Company elected certain other practical expedients offered by the new standard which it will apply to all asset classes, including the option not to separate lease and non-lease components and instead to account for them as a single lease component and the option not to recognize ROU assets and related liabilities that arise from short-term leases (i.e., leases with terms of twelve months or less that do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise). Substantially all of the Company’s retail store locations, supply chain facilities, certain corporate facilities and copy print equipment are subject to operating lease arrangements. As a result, the standard had material impacts on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, but did not have an impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The most significant impacts of the standard on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet on the date of adoption were as follows: o Recognition of $1.4 billion Operating lease right-of-use assets and $1.6 billion Operating lease liabilities o Derecognition of approximately $41 million of Property and equipment, net and $39 million of financing obligations associated with non-owned properties that were capitalized under previously existing build-to-suit lease accounting rules o Cumulative effect of $15 million adoption date adjustments to Accumulated deficit comprised of a $20 million impairment charge, net of tax effect, to the ROU assets, primarily because the fair market value of certain retail stores was lower than their carrying value prior to the adoption date; $4 million deferred gain, net of tax effect, related to transactions accounted for as sales and operating leasebacks under the previous lease standard; and a $1 million credit, net of tax effect, arising from the derecognition of assets and liabilities associated with non-owned properties that were capitalized under previously existing build-to-suit lease accounting rules. As part of its adoption of the new lease accounting standard, the Company also implemented new internal controls and updated accounting policies and procedures, operational processes and documentation practices to enable the preparation of financial information on adoption. Refer to Note 8 for additional disclosures required as a result of the adoption of this new standard. • Goodwill : In January 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that simplifies how entities assess goodwill for impairment. The revised guidance eliminates the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. Under this accounting update, a goodwill impairment loss should instead be measured at the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This accounting standards update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this accounting standards update on the first day of the second quarter of 2019 with no material impact to its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. |

Customers can purchase products through the Company’s call centers, electronically through its Internet websites, or through its retail stores. Revenues from supplies, technology, and furniture and other product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery to the customer. Furniture and other products also include arrangements where customers can make special furniture interior design and installation orders that are customized to their needs. The performance obligations related to these arrangements are satisfied over time. • Services revenue includes the sale of: o Technology service offerings provided through the Company’s CompuCom Division, such as end user computing support, managed information technology (“IT”) services, data center monitoring and management, service desk, network infrastructure, IT workforce solutions, mobile device management, IT integration solutions and cloud services, as well as technology service offerings provided in the Company’s retail stores, such as installation and repair o Copy, print, and other service offerings such as managed print and fulfillment services, product subscriptions, and sales of third party software, gift cards, warranties, remote support as well as rental income on operating lease arrangements where the Company conveys to its customers the right to use devices and other equipment for a stated period The largest offering in the technology service category is end user computing, which provides on-site services to assist corporate end users with their information technology needs. Services are either billed on a rate per hour or per user, or on a fixed monthly retainer basis. For the majority of technology service offerings contracts, the Company has the right to invoice the customer in an amount that directly corresponds with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance to date and as such the Company recognizes revenue based on the amount billable to the customer in accordance with the practical expedient provided by the current revenue guidance. Substantially all of the Company’s other service offerings are satisfied at a point in time and revenue is recognized as such. The largest other service offering is copy and print services, which includes printing, copying, and digital imaging. The majority of copy and print services are fulfilled through retail stores and the related performance obligations are satisfied within a short period of time (generally within the same day). |
REVENUE RECOGNITION AND SIGNIFICANT JUDGMENTS | REVENUE RECOGNITION AND SIGNIFICANT JUDGMENTS Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company is entitled to receive in exchange for those products or services. For product sales, transfer of control occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery to the customer. For service offerings, the transfer of control and satisfaction of the performance obligation is either over time or at a point in time. When performance obligations are satisfied over time, the Company evaluates the pattern of delivery and progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition. Revenue is recognized net of allowance for returns and net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Shipping and handling costs are considered fulfillment activities and are recognized within the Company’s cost of goods sold. Contracts with customers could include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Determining the standalone selling price also requires judgment. The Company did not have significant revenues Products are generally sold with a right of return and the Company may provide other incentives, such as rebates and coupons, which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the amount of revenue to recognize. The Company estimates returns and incentives at contract inception and includes the amount in the transaction price for which significant reversal is not probable. These estimates are updated at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available. The Company offers a customer loyalty program that provides customers with rewards that can be applied to future purchases or other incentives. Loyalty rewards are accounted for as a separate performance obligation and a deferred liability is recorded in the amount of the transaction price allocated to the rewards, inclusive of the impact of estimated breakage. The estimated breakage of loyalty rewards is based on historical redemption rates experienced under the loyalty program. Revenue is recognized when the loyalty rewards are redeemed or expire. As of June 29, 2019, the Company had $11 million of deferred liability related to the loyalty program, which is included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognizes revenue in certain circumstances before product delivery occurs (commonly referred to as bill-and-hold transactions). Revenue from bill-and-hold transactions is recognized when all specific requirements for transfer of control under a bill-and-hold arrangement have been met which include, among other things, a request from the customer that the product be held for future scheduled delivery. For these bill-and-hold arrangements, the associated product inventory is identified separately as belonging to the customer and is ready for physical transfer. |
CONTRACT BALANCES | CONTRACT BALANCES The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. A receivable is recognized in the period the Company delivers goods or provides services, and is recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. A receivable is also recognized for unbilled services where the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional, and is recorded based on an estimate of time and materials. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 20 to 60 days. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined that the contracts do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of the Company’s invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing its products and services. The Company receives payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules. Contract assets include amounts related to deferred contract acquisition costs (refer to the section “Costs to Obtain a Contract” below) and if applicable, the Company’s conditional right to consideration for completed performance under a contract. The short and long-term components of contract assets in the table below are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets, and Other assets, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract liabilities include payments received in advance of performance under the contract, and are recognized as revenue when the performance obligation is completed under the contract, as well as accrued contract acquisition costs, liabilities related to the Company’s loyalty program and gift cards. The short and long-term components of contract liabilities in the table below are included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and Deferred income taxes and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table provides information about receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers: June 29, December 29, (In millions) 2019 2018 Trade receivables, net $ 632 $ 655 Short-term contract assets 25 22 Long-term contract assets 15 17 Short-term contract liabilities 48 52 Long-term contract liabilities 1 1 During the second quarter and first half of 2019, the Company did not have any contract assets related to conditional rights. The Company recognized revenues of $22 million during the first half of 2019 which were included in the short-term contract liability balance at the beginning of the period. There were no contract assets and liabilities that were recognized during the second quarter and first half of 2019 as a result of business combinations. There were no significant adjustments to revenue from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods and there were no contract assets recognized at the beginning of the period that transferred to receivables during the second quarter and first half of 2019. Substantially all of the purchase orders and statements of work related to contracts with customers require delivery of the product or service within one year or less. For certain service contracts that exceed one year, the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed. Accordingly, the Company has applied the optional exemption provided by the new revenue recognition standard relating to unsatisfied performance obligations and does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for its contracts. |
COSTS TO OBTAIN A CONTRACT | COSTS TO OBTAIN A CONTRACT The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if it expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. The Company has determined that certain rebate incentive programs meet the requirements to be capitalized. These costs are periodically reviewed for impairment, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit. As of June 29, 2019 , capitalized acquisition costs amounted to $ 40 million, which is reflected in short-term contract assets and long-term contract assets in the table above. During the second quarter and first half of 2019 , amortization expense was $ 8 million and $ 17 million , respectively, and there was no impairment loss in relation to costs capitalized. The Company had no asset impairment charges related to contract assets in the periods presented herein. |
