NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

August 3, 2019

(Unaudited)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

As of August 3, 2019, Burlington Stores, Inc., a Delaware corporation (collectively with its subsidiaries, the Company), through its indirect subsidiary Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corporation (BCFWC), has expanded its store base to 691 retail stores, inclusive of an internet store.

These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Burlington Stores, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments (which are of a normal and recurring nature) necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2019 (Fiscal 2018 10-K). The balance sheet at February 2, 2019 presented herein has been derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Fiscal 2018 10-K. Because the Company’s business is seasonal in nature, the operating results for the three and six month periods ended August 3, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results for the fiscal year.

Accounting policies followed by the Company are described in Note 1 to the Fiscal 2018 10-K, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

Fiscal Year

The Company defines its fiscal year as the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. The current fiscal year ending February 1, 2020 (Fiscal 2019) and the prior fiscal year ended February 2, 2019 (Fiscal 2018) both consist of 52 weeks.

Adopted Accounting Standards

Leases

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2016-02, “Leases” (ASU 2016-02). The standard’s core principle is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted this ASU as of the beginning of Fiscal 2019.

The Company applied the changes from the new guidance at the adoption date and recognized a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption, as allowed under ASU 2018-11, “Leases: Targeted Improvements.” The Company did not adjust prior periods. The Company made an accounting policy election not to capitalize leases with an initial term of twelve months or less. The Company elected the transition package of practical expedients, which allows the Company to carry forward for its existing leases: i) the historical lease classification as either operating or capital; ii) assessment of whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; and iii) capitalization of initial direct costs. Additionally, the Company elected the practical expedients to not separate lease and non-lease components for both its real estate and non-real estate leases, to not assess whether existing or expired land easements contain a lease, and to employ hindsight when determining lease terms for existing leases on the date of adoption.

As a result of this standard, the Company has recognized approximately $2.2 billion of additional right-of-use assets and approximately $2.3 billion of additional lease liabilities (current and long-term combined) on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of August 3, 2019. The right-of-use lease liability for operating leases is based on the net present value of future minimum lease payments. The right-of-use asset for operating leases is based on the lease liability adjusted for the reclassification of certain balance sheet amounts such as favorable leases, the long term portion of straight line rent liability, purchased lease rights and landlord allowances. In addition, the Company also recorded an approximate $0.6 million cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings,

related to a deferred gain on a previous sale-leaseback transaction that was being recognized into the line item “Other income” over a 13 year period.

Adoption of this standard also resulted in a change in the timing of certain expense recognition, primarily related to net favorable lease cost, as well as a reclassification of favorable lease cost from “Depreciation and amortization” to “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the three and six months ended August 3, 2019. This guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's liquidity. Refer to Note 3, “Lease Commitments,” for further detail of the Company’s future minimum lease payments.

Pending Accounting Standards

Intangible Assets

On January 26, 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which aims to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, goodwill impairment will be measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods. This ASU will be effective for the Company as of the beginning of the fiscal year ending January 30, 2021 (Fiscal 2020). Early adoption is permitted for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not anticipate that the new guidance will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software: Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” This ASU requires that implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract be assessed in accordance with the existing guidance in Subtopic 350-40, “Internal-Use Software.” Accordingly, costs incurred during the preliminary project stage must be expensed as incurred, while costs incurred during the application development stage must be capitalized. Capitalized implementation costs associated with a hosting arrangement that is a service contract must be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement. Additionally, the new guidance requires that the expense of these capitalized costs be presented in the same line item in the statement of income as the fees associated with the hosting element of the arrangement. The new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods. This ASU will be effective for the Company as of the beginning of Fiscal 2020. Early adoption is permitted for annual or interim periods. While the Company is still in the process of determining the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements or notes thereto, it does not anticipate that the new guidance will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

There were no other new accounting standards that had a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements during the three and six month periods ended August 3, 2019, and there were no other new accounting standards or pronouncements that were issued but not yet effective as of August 3, 2019 that the Company expects to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon becoming effective.
