Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates

GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates and judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Key estimates relate primarily to determining the net realizable value and demand for inventory, useful lives associated with property and equipment and intangible assets, valuation allowances with respect to deferred tax assets, contingencies, self-insurance accruals, evaluation of sales tax positions, and the valuation and assumptions underlying share-based compensation. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates compared to historical experience and trends, which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities.
Stockholders’ Equity The total cost of repurchased shares of common stock in excess of par value, including the cost of commissions and excise taxes, is recorded to additional paid-in capital. The total cost for share repurchases executed and unpaid, as well as the cost of unpaid commissions and excise taxes, are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
