Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
General | Note A – General The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) rules and regulations. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the AutoZone, Inc. (“AutoZone” or the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 25, 2018. Operating results for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended May 4 , 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending August 31 , 2019 . Each of the first three quarters of AutoZone’s fiscal year consists of 12 weeks, and the fourth quarter consists of 16 or 17 weeks. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 has 17 weeks and fiscal 2018 had 16 weeks. Additionally, the Company’s business is somewhat seasonal in nature, with the highest sales generally occurring during the months of February through September and the lowest sales generally occurring in the months of December and January. Recently Adopted 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) . This ASU, along with subsequent ASUs issued to clarify certain provisions of ASU 2014-09, is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that expands disclosure requirements and requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. It also requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Companies that transition to this new standard may either retrospectively restate each prior reporting period or follow the modified retrospective method, which reflects the cumulative effect of initially applying the updates with an adjustment to retained earnings at the date of adoption. The Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective approach with its first quarter ended November 17, 2018. Results for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended May 4, 2019 were presented under ASU 2014-09, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the prior periods. The cumulative effect of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, business processes, controls or systems. Refer to “Note M – Revenue Recognition.” In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory . ASU 2016-16 requires that an entity recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The guidance must be applied using the modified retrospective approach. The Company adopted this standard with its first quarter ended November 17, 2018 and evaluated the effects from this adoption. The Company determined the provision of ASU 2016-16 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. On August 17, 2018, the SEC adopted a final rule that eliminates or amends certain disclosure requirements that were deemed redundant and outdated in light of changes in SEC requirements, U.S. GAAP or changes in technology or the business environment. The rule also requires registrants to include in their interim financial statements a reconciliation of changes in stockholders’ equity in the notes or as a separate statement. The analysis should reconcile the beginning balance to the ending balance of each caption in shareholders’ equity for each period for which an income statement is required to be filed. The final rule became effective November 5, 2018. The Company has provided a reconciliation for the quarterly period as well as the comparable prior period in its Form 10-Q beginning with its first quarter ended November 17, 2018. The eliminated or amended disclosures did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires a two-fold approach for lessee accounting, under which a lessee will account for leases as finance leases or operating leases. For all leases with terms greater than 12 months, both lease classifications will result in the lessee recognizing a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability on its balance sheet, with differing methodology for income statement recognition. This guidance also requires certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures about leasing arrangements. The amendment will be effective for the Company at the beginning of its fiscal 2020 year, and early adoption is permitted. As originally issued, this guidance required a modified retrospective approach for all leases existing or entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the consolidated financial statements. In July 2018, the FASB issued additional guidance, which allows companies to record the cumulative effect of applying the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption, which the Company intends to apply, as an alternative to the modified retrospective approach. The Company intends to elect transition practical expedients under which the Company will not be required to reassess (i) whether expired or existing contracts are or contain leases as defined by the new standard, (ii) the classification of such leases, and (iii) whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under the new standard. The Company established a cross-functional implementation team to evaluate and identify the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The implementation team has completed its internal evaluation of existing contractual arrangements, has successfully tested computations in the Company’s lease administration system, and has developed a process to compute the discount rate as required by the new standard. The Company is currently in the process of identifying changes to its business processes and controls to support the adoption of the new standard. The team is continuing to understand the full analysis of the adoption, but has not concluded the assessment of the impact at this time. The Company anticipates the adoption of this new standard to result in a significant increase in lease-related assets and liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income is currently being evaluated. As the impact of this standard is non-cash in nature, the Company does not anticipate its adoption to have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting . ASU 2018-07 aims to simplify the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. The amendment will be effective for the Company at the beginning of its fiscal 2020 year, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2018-07 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract . The amendments in this update align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments Credit Losses.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | |
Share-Based Payments | Note B – Share-Based Payments AutoZone maintains the Amended 2011 Equity Plan, which provides equity-based compensation to non-employee directors and eligible employees for their service to AutoZone, its subsidiaries or affiliates. The Company recognizes compensation expense for share-based payments based on the fair value of the awards at the grant date. Share-based payments include stock option grants, restricted stock grants, restricted stock unit grants and the discount on shares sold to employees under share purchase plans. Additionally, directors’ fees are paid in restricted stock units with value equivalent to the value of shares of common stock as of the grant date. The change in fair value of liability-based stock awards is also recognized in share-based compensation expense. Stock Options: The Company made stock option grants of 172,750 shares during the thirty-six week period ended May 4, 2019, and granted options to purchase 284,335 shares during the comparable prior year period. The weighted average fair value of the stock option awards granted during the thirty-six week periods ended May 4, 2019 and May 5, 2018, using the Black-Scholes-Merton multiple-option pricing valuation model, was $208.37 and $129.12 per share, respectively, using the following weighted average key assumptions: Thirty-Six Weeks Ended May 4, 2019 May 5, 2018 Expected price volatility 21 % 20 % Risk-free interest rate 3.0 % 1.9 % Weighted average expected lives (in years) 5.6 5.1 Forfeiture rate 10 % 10 % Dividend yield 0 % 0 % During the thirty-six week period ended May 4, 2019, 408,657 stock options were exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $412.75. In the comparable prior year period, 243,370 stock options were exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $281.72. Restricted Stock Units: The Company made restricted stock unit grants of 10,507 shares to eligible employees during the thirty-six week period ended May 4, 2019 and none in the comparable prior year period. The fair value of the restricted stock unit grants is the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date and the grants vest ratably on an annual basis over a four-year service period. Restricted stock unit awards are payable in shares of common stock on the vesting date. Compensation expense for grants of employee restricted stock units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the four-year service period, less estimated forfeitures, which are consistent with stock option grant forfeiture assumptions. The weighted average fair value per restricted stock unit granted was $773.57. As of May 4, 2019, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to nonvested restricted stock unit awards, net of estimated forfeitures, was approximately $6.2 million, before income taxes, which we expect to recognize over an estimated weighted average period of 3.4 years. Total share-based compensation expense (a component of Operating, selling, general and administrative expenses) was $10.0 million for the twelve week period ended May 4, 2019, and $5.8 million for the comparable prior year period. Total share-based compensation was $31.5 million for the thirty-six week period ended May 4, 2019, and $29.6 million for the comparable prior year period. For the twelve week period ended May 4, 2019, 4,177 stock options were excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation because they would have been anti-dilutive. For the comparable prior year period, 861,595 anti-dilutive shares were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share computation. There were 149,648 anti-dilutive shares excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation for the thirty-six week period ended May 4, 2019, and 850,421 anti-dilutive shares excluded for the comparable prior year period. See AutoZone’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 25, 2018, for a discussion regarding the methodology used in developing AutoZone’s assumptions to determine the fair value of the option awards and a description of AutoZone’s Amended and Restated 2011 Equity Incentive Award Plan, the 2011 Director Compensation Program and the 2014 Director Compensation Plan. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Note C – Fair Value Measurements The Company defines fair value as the price received to transfer an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , the Company uses the fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy, as defined below, gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are set forth below: Level 1 inputs —unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs —inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs —unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are based on the Company’s own assumptions as there is little, if any, observable activity in identical assets or liabilities. Financial Assets & Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows: May 4, 2019 (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Other current assets $ 39,068 $ 4,930 $ – $ 43,998 Other long-term assets 61,735 7,602 – 69,337 $ 100,803 $ 12,532 $ – $ 113,335 August 25, 2018 (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Other current assets $ 55,711 $ 3,733 $ – $ 59,444 Other long-term assets 58,973 16,259 – 75,232 $ 114,684 $ 19,992 $ – $ 134,676 At May 4, 2019, the fair value measurement amounts for assets and liabilities recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consisted of short-term marketable debt securities of $44.0 million, which are included within Other current assets, and long-term marketable debt securities of $69.3 million, which are included in Other long-term assets. The Company’s marketable debt securities are typically valued at the closing price in the principal active market as of the last business day of the quarter or through the use of other market inputs relating to the securities, including benchmark yields and reported trades. The fair values of the marketable debt securities, by asset class, are described in “Note D – Marketable Debt Securities.” Financial Instruments not Recognized at Fair Value The Company has financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short maturities. A discussion of the carrying values and fair values of the Company’s debt is included in “Note G – Financing.” |

The Company did not realize any material gains or losses on its marketable debt securities during the thirty-six week period ended May 4, 2019. The Company holds 84 securities that are in an unrealized loss position of approximately $424 thousand at May 4, 2019. The Company has the intent and ability to hold these investments until recovery of fair value or maturity and does not deem the investments to be impaired on an other than temporary basis. In evaluating whether the securities are deemed to be impaired on an other than temporary basis, the Company considers factors such as the duration and severity of the loss position, the credit worthiness of the investee, the term to maturity and the intent and ability to hold the investments until maturity or until recovery of fair value. Included above in total marketable debt securities are $87.5 million of marketable debt securities transferred by the Company’s insurance captive to a trust account to secure its obligations to an insurance company related to future workers’ compensation and casualty losses. |

Inventory Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Merchandise Inventories | Note F – Merchandise Inventories Merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Merchandise inventories include related purchasing, storage and handling costs. Inventory cost has been determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method for domestic inventories and the weighted average cost method for Mexico and Brazil inventories. Due to price deflation on the Company’s merchandise purchases, the Company has exhausted its LIFO reserve balance. The Company’s policy is not to write up inventory in excess of replacement cost, which is based on average cost. The difference between LIFO cost and replacement cost, which will be reduced upon experiencing price inflation on the Company’s merchandise purchases, was $431.1 million at May 4, 2019 and $452.4 million at August 25, 2018. |

As of May 4, 2019, the Company had $1.997 billion of availability under its $2.0 billion revolving credit facility, which would allow it to replace these short-term obligations with long-term financing facilities. On April 18, 2019, the Company issued $ 450 million in 3.750% Senior Notes due April 2029 under its shelf registration statement filed with the SEC on April 4, 2019 ( (the “2019 Shelf Registration”). The 2019 Shelf Registration allows the Company to sell an indeterminate amount in debt securities to fund general corporate purposes, including repaying, redeeming or repurchasing outstanding debt and for working capital, capital expenditures, new store openings, stock repurchases and acquisitions. Proceeds from the debt issuance were used to repay a portion of the outstanding commercial paper borrowings, the $250 million in 1.625% Senior Notes due in April 2019 and for other general corporate purposes. The Company entered into a Master Extension, New Commitment and Amendment Agreement dated as of November 18, 2017 (the “Extension Amendment”) to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 18, 2016, as amended, modified, extended or restated from time to time (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”). Under the Extension Amendment: (i) the Company’s borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Agreement was increased from $1.6 billion to $2.0 billion; (ii) the Company’s option to increase its borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Agreement was “refreshed” and the amount of such option remained at $400 million; the maximum borrowing under the Revolving Credit Agreement may, at the Company’s option, subject to lenders approval, be increased from $2.0 billion to $2.4 billion; (iii) the termination date of the Revolving Credit Agreement was extended from November 18, 2021 until November 18, 2022 Under the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Company may borrow funds consisting of Eurodollar loans, base rate loans or a combination of both. Interest accrues on Eurodollar loans at a defined Eurodollar rate, defined as LIBOR plus the applicable percentage, as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement, depending upon the Company’s senior, unsecured, (non-credit enhanced) long-term debt ratings. Interest accrues on base rate loans as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement. 3.3 The fair value of the Company’s debt was estimated at $5.190 billion as of May 4, 2019, and $4.948 billion as of August 25, 2018, based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates available to the Company for debt of the same terms (Level 2). Such fair value is greater than the carrying value of debt by $37.9 million at May 4, 2019, and less than the carrying value of debt by $57.5 million at August 25, 2018, which reflects their face amount, adjusted for any unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts. All senior notes are subject to an interest rate adjustment if the debt ratings assigned to the senior notes are downgraded (as defined in the agreements). Further, the senior notes contain a provision that repayment of the senior notes may be accelerated if the Company experiences a change in control (as defined in the agreements). The Company’s borrowings under its senior notes contain minimal covenants, primarily restrictions on liens. Under its revolving credit facility, covenants include restrictions on liens, a maximum debt to earnings ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a change of control provision that may require acceleration of the repayment obligations under certain circumstances. All of the repayment obligations under its borrowing arrangements may be accelerated and come due prior to the applicable scheduled payment date if covenants are breached or an event of default occurs. As of May 4, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and expects to remain in compliance with all covenants under its borrowing arrangements. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue Recognition | Note M – Revenue Recognition The Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the modified retrospective method beginning with our first quarter ending November 17, 2018. The cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 resulted in an increase to the opening retained deficit balance of $6.8 million, net of taxes at August 26, 2018, and a related adjustment to accounts receivable, other current assets, other long-term assets, other current liabilities and deferred income taxes as of that date. Revenue for periods prior to August 26, 2018 were not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the prior periods. The Company’s primary source of revenue is derived from the sale of automotive aftermarket parts and merchandise to its retail and commercial customers. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied, in an amount representing the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for selling products to its customers. Sales are recorded net of variable consideration in the period incurred, including discounts, sales incentives and rebates, sales taxes and estimated sales returns. Sales returns are based on historical return rates. The Company may enter into contracts that include multiple combinations of products and services, which are accounted for as separate performance obligations and do not require significant judgment. The Company’s performance obligations are typically satisfied when the customer takes possession of the merchandise. Revenue from retail customers is recognized when the customer leaves our store with the purchased products, typically at the point of sale or for E-commerce orders when the product is shipped. Revenue from commercial customers is recognized upon delivery, typically same-day. Payment from retail customers is at the point of sale and payment terms for commercial customers are based on the Company’s pre-established credit requirements and generally range from 1 to 30 days. Discounts, sales incentives and rebates are treated as separate performance obligations, and revenue allocated to these performance obligations is recognized as the obligations to the customer are satisfied. Additionally, the Company estimates and records gift card breakage as redemptions occur. The Company offers diagnostic and repair information software used in the automotive repair industry through ALLDATA. This revenue is recognized as services are provided. Revenue from these services are recognized over the life of the contract. The Company or the vendors supplying its products provides the Company’s customers limited warranties on certain products that range from 30 days to lifetime. In most cases, the Company’s vendors are primarily responsible for warranty claims. Warranty costs for merchandise sold under warranty not covered by vendors are estimated and recorded at the time of sale based on the historical return rate for each individual product line. Differences between vendor allowances received, in lieu of warranty obligations and estimated warranty expense for the vendor’s products, are recorded as an adjustment to cost of sales. There were no material contract assets, contract liabilities or deferred contract costs recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of May 4, 2019. Revenue related to unfulfilled performance obligations as of May 4, 2019 is not significant. Refer to “Note N – Segment Reporting” for additional information related to revenue recognized during the period. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Reporting | Note N – Segment Reporting The Company’s operating segments (Domestic Auto Parts, Mexico and Brazil; and IMC through April 4, 2018) are aggregated as one reportable segment: Auto Parts Locations. The criteria the Company used to identify the reportable segment are primarily the nature of the products the Company sells and the operating results that are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about the resources to be allocated to the business units and to assess performance. The accounting policies of the Company’s reportable segment are the same as those described in Note A in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 25, 2018. The Auto Parts Locations segment is a retailer and distributor of automotive parts and accessories through the Company’s 6,287 stores in the United States, Puerto Rico, Mexico and Brazil. Each store carries an extensive product line for cars, sport utility vehicles, vans and light trucks, including new and remanufactured automotive hard parts, maintenance items, accessories and non-automotive products. The Other category reflects business activities of three operating segments that are not separately reportable due to the materiality of these operating segments. The operating segments include ALLDATA, which produces, sells and maintains diagnostic and repair information software used in the automotive repair industry; sales through www.autozone.com that are not fulfilled by an AutoZone store; and AutoAnything, which includes direct sales to customers through www.autoanything.com, prior to the Company’s sale of substantially all of AutoAnything’s assets on February 26, 2018. The Company evaluates its reportable segment primarily on the basis of net sales and segment profit, which is defined as gross profit. Segment results for the periods presented were as follows: Twelve Weeks Ended Thirty-Six Weeks Ended (in thousands) May 4, 2019 May 5, 2018 May 4, 2019 May 5, 2018 Net Sales Auto Parts Locations $ 2,731,900 $ 2,610,485 $ 7,728,173 $ 7,452,186 Other 51,106 49,667 147,134 210,123 Total $ 2,783,006 $ 2,660,152 $ 7,875,307 $ 7,662,309 Segment Profit Auto Parts Locations $ 1,457,608 $ 1,387,497 $ 4,132,358 $ 3,942,949 Other 34,412 35,477 102,243 122,918 Gross profit 1,492,020 1,422,974 4,234,601 4,065,867 Operating, selling, general and administrative expenses (944,497 ) (877,209 ) (2,799,239 ) (2,846,250 ) Interest expense, net (43,239 ) (41,958 ) (123,608 ) (120,186 ) Income before income taxes $ 504,284 $ 503,807 $ 1,311,754 $ 1,099,431 |

Income Taxes | Note O – Income Taxes The Company’s effective income tax rate was 19.5% $13.1 27.2% The Company’s effective income tax rate on pretax income for the thirty-six weeks ended May 4, 2019, was 19.8% and 14.8% for the comparable prior year period. The increase in the tax rate was primarily due to the one-time benefits recognized in the prior period related to the re-measurement of the Company’s U.S. federal deferred tax liability at the lower rate upon enactment of Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”), net of tax expenses related to the mandatory one-time transition tax, which resulted in a net tax benefit of $111.9 million. The tax benefit of stock option exercises was $38.2 million for the thirty-six weeks ended May 4, 2019 and $27.2 million for the comparable prior period. |

Fiscal Period | Operating results for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended May 4 , 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending August 31 , 2019 . Each of the first three quarters of AutoZone’s fiscal year consists of 12 weeks, and the fourth quarter consists of 16 or 17 weeks. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 has 17 weeks and fiscal 2018 had 16 weeks. Additionally, the Company’s business is somewhat seasonal in nature, with the highest sales generally occurring during the months of February through September and the lowest sales generally occurring in the months of December and January. |
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted 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) . This ASU, along with subsequent ASUs issued to clarify certain provisions of ASU 2014-09, is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that expands disclosure requirements and requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. It also requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Companies that transition to this new standard may either retrospectively restate each prior reporting period or follow the modified retrospective method, which reflects the cumulative effect of initially applying the updates with an adjustment to retained earnings at the date of adoption. The Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective approach with its first quarter ended November 17, 2018. Results for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended May 4, 2019 were presented under ASU 2014-09, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the prior periods. The cumulative effect of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, business processes, controls or systems. Refer to “Note M – Revenue Recognition.” In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory . ASU 2016-16 requires that an entity recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The guidance must be applied using the modified retrospective approach. The Company adopted this standard with its first quarter ended November 17, 2018 and evaluated the effects from this adoption. The Company determined the provision of ASU 2016-16 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. On August 17, 2018, the SEC adopted a final rule that eliminates or amends certain disclosure requirements that were deemed redundant and outdated in light of changes in SEC requirements, U.S. GAAP or changes in technology or the business environment. The rule also requires registrants to include in their interim financial statements a reconciliation of changes in stockholders’ equity in the notes or as a separate statement. The analysis should reconcile the beginning balance to the ending balance of each caption in shareholders’ equity for each period for which an income statement is required to be filed. The final rule became effective November 5, 2018. The Company has provided a reconciliation for the quarterly period as well as the comparable prior period in its Form 10-Q beginning with its first quarter ended November 17, 2018. The eliminated or amended disclosures did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires a two-fold approach for lessee accounting, under which a lessee will account for leases as finance leases or operating leases. For all leases with terms greater than 12 months, both lease classifications will result in the lessee recognizing a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability on its balance sheet, with differing methodology for income statement recognition. This guidance also requires certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures about leasing arrangements. The amendment will be effective for the Company at the beginning of its fiscal 2020 year, and early adoption is permitted. As originally issued, this guidance required a modified retrospective approach for all leases existing or entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the consolidated financial statements. In July 2018, the FASB issued additional guidance, which allows companies to record the cumulative effect of applying the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption, which the Company intends to apply, as an alternative to the modified retrospective approach. The Company intends to elect transition practical expedients under which the Company will not be required to reassess (i) whether expired or existing contracts are or contain leases as defined by the new standard, (ii) the classification of such leases, and (iii) whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under the new standard. The Company established a cross-functional implementation team to evaluate and identify the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The implementation team has completed its internal evaluation of existing contractual arrangements, has successfully tested computations in the Company’s lease administration system, and has developed a process to compute the discount rate as required by the new standard. The Company is currently in the process of identifying changes to its business processes and controls to support the adoption of the new standard. The team is continuing to understand the full analysis of the adoption, but has not concluded the assessment of the impact at this time. The Company anticipates the adoption of this new standard to result in a significant increase in lease-related assets and liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income is currently being evaluated. As the impact of this standard is non-cash in nature, the Company does not anticipate its adoption to have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting . ASU 2018-07 aims to simplify the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. The amendment will be effective for the Company at the beginning of its fiscal 2020 year, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2018-07 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract . The amendments in this update align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments Credit Losses.
