Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements [Abstract]
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements	Note 1 – Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements The consolidated balance sheets as of September 28, 2019 and March 30, 2019, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and changes in shareholders’ equity for the quarters and six months ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018, include financial information for Monro, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Monro Service Corporation; Car-X, LLC; MNRO Holdings, LLC and MNRO Service Holdings, LLC (collectively, “Monro,” “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company”). These unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Monro. We believe all known adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals or adjustments) have been made to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the unaudited periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2019. We report our results on a 52/53 week fiscal year with the fiscal year ending on the last Saturday in March of each year. The following are the dates represented by each fiscal period reported in these condensed financial statements: “Quarter Ended Fiscal September 2019” June 30, 2019 – September 28, 2019 (13 weeks) “Quarter Ended Fiscal September 2018” July 1, 2018 – September 29, 2018 (13 weeks) “Six Months Ended Fiscal September 2019” March 31, 2019 – September 28, 2019 (26 weeks) “Six Months Ended Fiscal September 2018” April 1, 2018 – September 29, 2018 (26 weeks) Fiscal 2020, ending March 28, 2020, is a 52 week year. Monro’s operations are organized and managed in one operating segment. The internal management financial reporting that is the basis for evaluation in order to assess performance and allocate resources by our chief operating decision maker consists of consolidated data that includes the results of our retail, commercial and wholesale locations. As such, our one operating segment reflects how our operations are managed, how resources are allocated, how operating performance is evaluated by senior management and the structure of our internal financial reporting. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance related to leases. This guidance establishes a right of use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this standard as of March 31, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach and elected the optional transition relief amendment that allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption and did not restate prior periods. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification and provided relief from reviewing existing contracts to determine if they contain leases. We did not elect to use hindsight in determining the lease term. The adoption of this guidance resulted in a $ 165.3 million increase to total assets and a $ 165.9 million increase to total liabilities as of March 31, 2019. The Company recognized $ 186.9 million of operating lease ROU assets, $ 174.4 million of operating lease obligations, and a $ 0.7 million finance lease asset and liability related to embedded leases. The difference between the operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities primarily represents the existing favorable lease intangibles of $ 19.6 million and unfavorable lease intangibles and deferred rent accruals of $ 7.2 million resulting from historical operating lease accounting. These were reclassified as operating ROU assets upon adoption. In addition, we recognized $ 8.4 million and $ 16.6 million of finance lease assets and liabilities, respectively, and removed $ 11.1 million and $ 18.6 million of assets and liabilities related to financial obligations connected with the construction of leased stores that are no longer considered a failed sale leaseback. As a result of using the modified retrospective approach, the adoption resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, net of tax, of approximately $ 0.6 million. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact to our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. At adoption, we reclassified prior year capital lease and financing obligation assets from the Net property, plant and equipment line to the Finance lease and financing obligation assets, net line of our Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 8 for additional lease disclosures. In June 2018, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that amends the accounting for nonemployee share-based awards. Under the new guidance, the existing guidance related to the accounting for employee share-based awards will apply to nonemployee share-based transactions, with certain exceptions. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption was permitted. We adopted this guidance during the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of this guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Other recent authoritative guidance issued by the FASB (including technical corrections to the Accounting Standards Codification) and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not, or are not expected to have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Financing In April 2019, we entered into a new five year $ 600 million revolving credit facility agreement with eight banks (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility amended and restated our previous revolving credit facility which would have expired in January 2021. Interest only is payable monthly throughout the Credit Facility’s term. The borrowing capacity for the Credit Facility of $ 600 million includes an accordion feature permitting us to request an increase in availability of up to an additional $ 250 million. The Credit Facility bears interest at 75 to 200 basis points over LIBOR (or replacement index) or at the prime rate, depending on the type of borrowing and the rates then in effect. The Credit Facility requires fees payable quarterly throughout the term between 0.125 % and 0.35 % of the amount of the average net availability under the Credit Facility during the preceding quarter.  Within the Credit Facility, we have a sub-facility of $ 80 million available for the purpose of issuing standby letters of credit. The line requires fees aggregating 87.5 to 212.5 basis points annually of the face amount of each standby letter of credit, payable quarterly in arrears.  Specific terms of the Credit Facility permit the payment of cash dividends (with certain limitations), and permit mortgages and specific lease financing arrangements with other parties (with certain limitations). Other specific terms and the maintenance of specified ratios are generally consistent with our prior financing agreement. Additionally, the Credit Facility is not secured by our real property, although we have agreed not to encumber our real property, with certain permissible exceptions. Commitments and Contingencies As of the date of this report, other than changes related to adoption of the new lease accounting standard as described in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, there were no material changes to our commitments and contingencies outside those related to business acquisitions since March 30, 2019, as reported in our Form 10-K.

These stores operate under the Tire Choice name.  On March 31, 2019 , we acquired 12 retail tire and automotive repair stores located in Louisiana from Allied Discount Tire & Brake, Inc. These stores operate under the Tire Choice name. These acquisitions resulted in goodwill related to, among other things, growth opportunities, synergies and economies of scale expected from combining these businesses with ours, as well as unidentifiable intangible assets. All of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. We have recorded finite-lived intangible assets at their estimated fair value related to customer lists. We expensed all costs related to acquisitions in the six months ended September 28, 2019. The total costs related to completed acquisitions were $ 0.3 million and $ 0.8 million for the quarter and six months ended September 28, 2019, respectively. These costs are included in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income primarily under operating, selling, general and administrative expenses. Sales for the fiscal 2020 acquired entities for the quarter and six months ended September 28, 2019 totaled $ 13.2 million and $ 20.2 million, respectively, for the period from acquisition date through September 28, 2019. Supplemental pro forma information for the current or prior reporting periods has not been presented due to the impracticability of obtaining detailed, accurate or reliable data for the periods the acquired entities were not owned by Monro. The preliminary fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on preliminary valuations and estimates. The consideration transferred and net identifiable liabilities assumed were recorded as goodwill. The preliminary allocation of the aggregate purchase price as of September 28, 2019, with respect to the acquisitions during the six months ended September 28, 2019, was as follows: As of Acquisition Date (Dollars in thousands) Inventories $ 2,735 Other current assets 448 Property, plant and equipment 1,766 Finance lease and financing obligation assets, net 18,962 Operating lease assets, net 26,339 Intangible assets 1,822 Other non-current assets 106 Long-term deferred income tax assets 2,295 Total assets acquired 54,473 Current portion of long-term debt, finance leases and financing obligations 1,820 Current portion of operating lease liabilities 2,894 Deferred revenue 1,047 Other current liabilities 218 Long-term finance leases and financing obligations 24,311 Long-term operating lease liabilities 28,201 Other long-term liabilities 1,171 Total liabilities assumed 59,662 Total net identifiable liabilities assumed $ ( 5,189 ) Total consideration transferred $ 64,606 Less: total net identifiable liabilities assumed ( 5,189 ) Goodwill $ 69,795 The following are the intangible assets acquired and their respective fair values and weighted average useful lives: As of Acquisition Date Dollars in thousands Weighted Average Useful Life Customer lists $ 1,822 7 years Fiscal 2019 During the first six months of fiscal 2019, we acquired the following businesses for an aggregate purchase price of $ 38.8 million. The acquisitions were financed through our existing credit facility. The results of operations for these acquisitions are included in our financial results from the respective acquisition dates.  On September 23, 2018 , we acquired one retail tire and automotive repair store located in South Carolina from Walton’s Automotive, LLC. This store operates under the Treadquarters name.  On September 16, 2018 , we acquired one retail tire and automotive repair store located in Illinois from C&R Auto Service, Inc.

These stores operate under the Car-X name.  On May 13, 2018 , we acquired 12 retail/commercial tire and automotive repair stores and one retread facility located in Tennessee, as well as four wholesale locations in North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, from Free Service Tire Company, Incorporated. These locations operate under the Free Service Tire name.  On April 1, 2018 , we acquired four retail tire and automotive repair stores located in Minnesota from Liberty Auto Group, Inc. These stores operate under the Car-X name. These acquisitions resulted in goodwill related to, among other things, growth opportunities, synergies and economies of scale expected from combining these businesses with ours, as well as unidentifiable intangible assets. All of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. We have recorded finite-lived intangible assets at their estimated fair value related to customer lists, favorable leases and a trade name. We expensed all costs related to acquisitions in the six months ended September 29, 2018. The total costs related to completed acquisitions were $ 0.1 million and $ 0.3 million for the quarter and six months ended September 29, 2018. These costs are included in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income primarily under operating, selling, general and administrative expenses. Sales for the fiscal 2019 acquired entities for the quarter and six months ended September 29, 2018 totaled $ 13.3 million and $ 18.7 million, respectively, for the period from acquisition date through September 29, 2018. Supplemental pro forma information for the current or prior reporting periods has not been presented due to the impracticability of obtaining detailed, accurate or reliable data for the periods the acquired entities were not owned by Monro. We have recorded the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with respect to the acquisitions during the six months ended September 29, 2018, at their fair values as of their respective acquisition dates (including any measurement period adjustments), with the remainder recorded as goodwill as follows: As of Acquisition Date (Dollars in thousands) Trade receivables $ 1,674 Inventories 8,081 Other current assets 216 Property, plant and equipment 6,628 Finance lease and financing obligation assets, net 2,893 Intangible assets 7,287 Other non-current assets 4 Long-term deferred income tax assets 1,127 Total assets acquired 27,910 Current portion of long-term debt, finance leases and financing obligations 557 Deferred revenue 270 Other current liabilities 475 Long-term finance leases and financing obligations 6,320 Other long-term liabilities 474 Total liabilities assumed 8,096 Total net identifiable assets acquired $ 19,814 Total consideration transferred $ 38,774 Less: total net identifiable assets acquired 19,814 Goodwill $ 18,960 The following are the intangible assets acquired and their respective fair values and weighted average useful lives: As of Acquisition Date Dollars in thousands Weighted Average Useful Life Customer lists $ 5,599 13 years Favorable leases 1,288 10 years Trade name 400 2 years Total $ 7,287 12 years As a result of the updated purchase price allocations for the entities acquired during the fiscal year ended March 30, 2019, certain of the fair value amounts previously estimated were adjusted during the measurement period. These measurement period adjustments resulted from updated valuation reports and appraisals received from our external valuation specialists, as well as revisions to internal estimates . The changes in estimates include a decrease in inventories of $ 0.3 million; an increase in property, plant and equipment of $ 0.1 million; a decrease in finance lease and financing obligation assets, net of $ 0.8 million; a decrease in intangible assets of $ 0.3 million; a decrease in long-term deferred income tax assets of $ 0.3 million; an increase in current portion of long-term debt, finance leases and financing obligations of $ 0.2 million and a decrease in long-term finance leases and financing obligations of $ 2.4 million. The measurement period adjustments resulted in a decrease of goodwill of $ 0.6 million. The measurement period adjustments were not material to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the quarter and six months ended September 28, 2019. We continue to refine the valuation data and estimates primarily related to inventory, warranty reserves, intangible assets, real estate, and real property leases for fiscal 2019 acquisitions which closed subsequent to September 29, 2018 and the fiscal 2020 acquisitions, and expect to complete the valuations no later than the first anniversary date of the respective acquisition. We anticipate that adjustments will continue to be made to the fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed and those adjustments may or may not be material.

Earnings Per Common Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Common Share	Note 3 – Earnings per Common Share Basic earnings per common share amounts are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders, after deducting preferred stock dividends, by the average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share amounts assume the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive equivalent securities outstanding. The following is a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the respective periods: Quarter Ended Six Months Ended Fiscal September Fiscal September 2019 2018 2019 2018 (Amounts in thousands, except per share data) Numerator for earnings per common share calculation: Net income $ 20,314 $ 21,761 $ 42,920 $ 42,405 Less: Preferred stock dividends ( 112 ) ( 102 ) ( 224 ) ( 204 ) Income available to common shareholders $ 20,202 $ 21,659 $ 42,696 $ 42,201 Denominator for earnings per common share calculation: Weighted average common shares, basic 33,244 32,911 33,214 32,882 Effect of dilutive securities: Preferred stock 510 510 510 510 Stock options 196 191 213 126 Restricted stock 29 28 34 28 Weighted average common shares, diluted 33,979 33,640 33,971 33,546 Basic earnings per common share: $ 0.61 $ 0.66 $ 1.29 $ 1.28 Diluted earnings per common share: $ 0.60 $ 0.65 $ 1.26 $ 1.26 The computation of diluted earnings per common share excludes the effect of the assumed exercise of approximately 164,000 and 125,000 stock options for the quarter and six months ended September 28, 2019, respectively, and 120,000 and 365,000 stock options for the quarter and six months ended September 29, 2018, respectively. Such amounts were excluded as the exercise price of these stock options was greater than the average market value of our common stock for those periods, resulting in an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per common share.

Income Taxes	Note 4 – Income Taxes In the normal course of business, we provide for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and penalties, and adjust our unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties accordingly. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $ 7.0 million and $ 6.4 million at September 28, 2019 and March 30, 2019, respectively, the majority of which, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate. Additionally, we have accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $ 0.4 million as of September 28, 2019 and March 30, 2019. We file U.S. federal income tax returns and income tax returns in various state jurisdictions. Our fiscal 2018 U.S. federal tax year and various state tax years remain subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities.

Revenues [Abstract]
Revenues	Note 7 – Revenues Automotive undercar repair, tire sales and tire services represent the vast majority of our revenues. We also earn revenue from the sale of tire road hazard warranty agreements as well as commissions earned from the delivery of tires on behalf of certain tire vendors. Revenue from automotive undercar repair, tire sales and tire services is recognized at the time the customers take possession of their vehicle or merchandise. For sales to certain customers that are financed through the offering of credit on account, payment terms are established for customers based on our pre-established credit requirements. Payment terms vary depending on the customer and generally range from 15 to 45 days. Based on the nature of receivables, no significant financing components exist. Sales are recorded net of discounts, sales incentives and rebates, sales taxes and estimated returns and allowances. We estimate the reduction to sales and cost of sales for returns based on current sales levels and our historical return experience. Such amounts are immaterial to our Consolidated Financial Statements. Revenue from the sale of tire road hazard warranty agreements (included in the Tires product group in the table below) is initially deferred and is recognized over the contract period as costs are expected to be incurred in performing such services, typically 21 to 36 months. The amounts recorded for deferred revenue balances at September 28, 2019 and March 30, 2019 were $ 18.6 million and $ 17.2 million, respectively, of which $ 13.0 million and $ 12.1 million, respectively, are reported in Deferred revenue and $ 5.6 million and $ 5.1 million, respectively, are reported in Other long-term liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table summarizes deferred revenue related to road hazard warranty agreements from March 30, 2019 to September 28 , 2019: Dollars in thousands Balance at March 30, 2019 $ 17,150 Deferral of revenue 8,862 Deferral of revenue from acquisitions 1,909 Recognition of revenue ( 9,343 ) Balance at September 28, 2019 $ 18,578 We expect to recognize $ 7.9 million of deferred revenue related to road hazard warranty agreements in the remainder of fiscal 2020, $ 8.3 million of such deferred revenue during our fiscal year ending March 27, 2021, and $ 2.4 million of such deferred revenue thereafter. Under various arrangements, we receive from certain tire vendors a delivery commission and reimbursement for the cost of the tire that we may deliver to customers on behalf of the tire vendor. The commission we earn from these transactions is as an agent and the net amount retained is recorded as sales. (Included in the Tires product group in the following table.) The following table summarizes disaggregated revenue by product group: Quarter Ended Six Months Ended Fiscal September Fiscal September 2019 2018 2019 2018 (Dollars in thousands) Revenues: Brakes $ 46,201 $ 44,380 $ 93,314 $ 87,128 Exhaust 7,431 8,264 14,061 15,623 Steering 25,847 23,873 52,410 48,671 Tires 159,142 150,522 312,870 291,252 Maintenance 84,649 79,271 166,815 158,632 Other 843 795 1,707 1,610 Total $ 324,113 $ 307,105 $ 641,177 $ 602,916

Leasing [Abstract]
Leasing	Note 8 – Leasing We enter into lease agreements for certain retail stores, warehouses, distribution centers, office space and land as well as service contracts that are considered leases. We determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. We record ROU assets and lease obligations for our finance and operating leases, which are initially based on the discounted future minimum lease payments over the term of the lease. As the rate implicit in our leases is not easily determinable, our applicable incremental borrowing rate is used in calculating the present value of the lease payments. We estimate our incremental borrowing rate considering the market rates of our outstanding collateralized borrowings and comparisons to comparable borrowings of similar terms. Lease term is defined as the non-cancelable period of the lease plus any options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will be exercised. Our leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to approximately 38 years. Most of our leases include one or more options to extend the lease, for periods ranging from one year to 30 years or more. For leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, no ROU assets or lease obligations are recorded on the balance sheet and we recognize short-term lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of retail sales over specified levels and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. For the majority of all classes of underlying assets, we have elected to separate lease from non-lease components. We have elected to combine lease and non-lease components for certain classes of equipment. We sublease excess space to third parties. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in cost of sales or general and administrative expense. Amortization expense for finance leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in cost of sales or general and administrative expense. Interest expense for finance leases is recognized using the effective interest method. Variable payments, short-term rentals and payments associated with non-lease components are expensed as incurred. Historical failed sale leasebacks that were assumed through acquisitions and do not qualify for sale leaseback accounting continue to be accounted for as financing obligations. As of September 28, 2019, net assets of $ 4.6 million and liabilities of $ 7.7 million due to failed sale leaseback arrangements were included with finance lease assets and liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The components of operating and finance lease cost were as follows: Quarter Ended Six Months Ended Fiscal September Fiscal September 2019 2019 (Dollars in thousands) Operating lease cost $ 9,723 $ 18,951 Finance lease/financing obligations cost: Amortization of assets 4,935 9,182 Interest on liabilities 5,313 10,591 Short term and variable lease cost 520 1,085 Sublease income ( 33 ) ( 66 ) Total lease cost $ 20,458 $ 39,743 Supplemental cash flow information related to leases was as follows: Six Months Ended Fiscal September 2019 (Dollars in thousands) Cash paid for amounts included in measurement of lease obligations: Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 18,058 Operating cash flows from finance leases/financing obligations 10,602 Financing cash flows from finance leases/financing obligations 12,323 Net assets obtained in exchange for operating lease obligations 6,601 Net assets obtained in exchange for finance lease obligations 26,858 The following table summarizes weighted average remaining lease term and discount rates: Operating Leases Finance Leases and Financing Obligations Weighted average remaining lease term, in years 9.3 9.9 Weighted average discount rate 3.63 % 9.86 % Future maturities of our lease liabilities, excluding subleases, as of September 28, 2019 are as follows: Operating Leases Finance Leases and Financing Obligations (Dollars in thousands) Remainder 2020 $ 18,580 $ 24,421 2021 35,673 49,302 2022 32,188 49,014 2023 27,902 48,746 2024 22,770 42,064 Thereafter 99,287 219,247 Total undiscounted lease obligations $ 236,400 $ 432,794 Less: imputed interest ( 38,233 ) ( 135,469 ) Net lease obligation $ 198,167 $ 297,325 Total lease payments include $ 71 million related to options to extend operating leases that are reasonably certain of being exercised, include $ 97 million related to options to extend finance leases that are reasonably certain of being exercised and exclude $ 14 million of legally binding lease payments for leases signed but not yet commenced as of September 28, 2019.

Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance related to leases. This guidance establishes a right of use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this standard as of March 31, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach and elected the optional transition relief amendment that allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption and did not restate prior periods. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification and provided relief from reviewing existing contracts to determine if they contain leases. We did not elect to use hindsight in determining the lease term. The adoption of this guidance resulted in a $ 165.3 million increase to total assets and a $ 165.9 million increase to total liabilities as of March 31, 2019. The Company recognized $ 186.9 million of operating lease ROU assets, $ 174.4 million of operating lease obligations, and a $ 0.7 million finance lease asset and liability related to embedded leases. The difference between the operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities primarily represents the existing favorable lease intangibles of $ 19.6 million and unfavorable lease intangibles and deferred rent accruals of $ 7.2 million resulting from historical operating lease accounting. These were reclassified as operating ROU assets upon adoption. In addition, we recognized $ 8.4 million and $ 16.6 million of finance lease assets and liabilities, respectively, and removed $ 11.1 million and $ 18.6 million of assets and liabilities related to financial obligations connected with the construction of leased stores that are no longer considered a failed sale leaseback. As a result of using the modified retrospective approach, the adoption resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, net of tax, of approximately $ 0.6 million. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact to our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. At adoption, we reclassified prior year capital lease and financing obligation assets from the Net property, plant and equipment line to the Finance lease and financing obligation assets, net line of our Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 8 for additional lease disclosures. In June 2018, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that amends the accounting for nonemployee share-based awards. Under the new guidance, the existing guidance related to the accounting for employee share-based awards will apply to nonemployee share-based transactions, with certain exceptions. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption was permitted. We adopted this guidance during the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of this guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Other recent authoritative guidance issued by the FASB (including technical corrections to the Accounting Standards Codification) and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not, or are not expected to have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Financing	Financing In April 2019, we entered into a new five year $ 600 million revolving credit facility agreement with eight banks (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility amended and restated our previous revolving credit facility which would have expired in January 2021. Interest only is payable monthly throughout the Credit Facility’s term. The borrowing capacity for the Credit Facility of $ 600 million includes an accordion feature permitting us to request an increase in availability of up to an additional $ 250 million. The Credit Facility bears interest at 75 to 200 basis points over LIBOR (or replacement index) or at the prime rate, depending on the type of borrowing and the rates then in effect. The Credit Facility requires fees payable quarterly throughout the term between 0.125 % and 0.35 % of the amount of the average net availability under the Credit Facility during the preceding quarter.  Within the Credit Facility, we have a sub-facility of $ 80 million available for the purpose of issuing standby letters of credit. The line requires fees aggregating 87.5 to 212.5 basis points annually of the face amount of each standby letter of credit, payable quarterly in arrears.  Specific terms of the Credit Facility permit the payment of cash dividends (with certain limitations), and permit mortgages and specific lease financing arrangements with other parties (with certain limitations). Other specific terms and the maintenance of specified ratios are generally consistent with our prior financing agreement. Additionally, the Credit Facility is not secured by our real property, although we have agreed not to encumber our real property, with certain permissible exceptions.
Commitments And Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies As of the date of this report, other than changes related to adoption of the new lease accounting standard as described in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, there were no material changes to our commitments and contingencies outside those related to business acquisitions since March 30, 2019, as reported in our Form 10-K.
