The Company generally leases its stores, offices, and distribution facilities under operating leases that expire at various dates through the year 2043. These leases generally provide for fixed annual rentals; however, several provide for minimum annual rentals plus contingent rentals based on a percentage of annual sales. A majority of the Company’s leases also require a payment for all or a portion of common-area maintenance, insurance, real estate taxes, water and sewer costs, and repairs, on a fixed or variable payment basis. Many of the Company’s lease agreements provide options to extend the lease term beyond the initial non-cancelable period. Most of the leases contain options to renew for three to five successive five-year periods. At lease commencement, the Company generally includes only the initial term in the lease liability and right-of-use asset, as it has determined that renewal options are not reasonably certain to be exercised. Renewal decisions are generally at the Company’s sole discretion. Upon renewal of an expiring lease, the Company reassesses the terms and includes in the lease term any extension periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised. For leases acquired through bankruptcy proceedings, the Company typically includes option periods in the lease term, as the economic penalty associated with the acquisition cost makes renewal reasonably certain. The Company’s lease agreements generally do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. All of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases and the associated assets and liabilities are presented as separate captions in the consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

Store and office lease costs are classified in selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) and distribution center lease costs are classified in cost of sales on the condensed consolidated statements of income.
