The adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASU 2017-01 on January 1, 2017, has resulted in a decrease in acquisition related costs as our acquisition of operating stores are considered asset acquisitions rather than business combinations.
(2)
In connection with our adoption of FASB ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" on January 1, 2019, we began recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities associated with our operating leases as of the adoption date.
(3)
In connection with our adoption of FASB ASU 2015-3, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs," in fiscal year 2016, debt issuance costs, with the exception of those related to our revolving credit facility, have been reclassified from other assets to a reduction of the carrying amount of the related debt liability. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
(4)
In connection with our adoption of FASB ASU 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash," on January 1, 2018, we began including amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.
