SELECT COMFORT CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business & Basis of Presentation
We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the
three and six months ended
July 1, 2017
of Select Comfort Corporation and 100%-owned subsidiaries (Select Comfort or the Company), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and they reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of
July 1, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Our historical and quarterly consolidated results of operations may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year or any future period.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our most recent audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2016
and other recent filings with the SEC.
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of sales, expenses and income taxes during the reporting period. Predicting future events is inherently an imprecise activity and, as such, requires the use of judgment. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in these estimates will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements in future periods. Our critical accounting policies consist of stock-based compensation, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, warranty liabilities and revenue recognition.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Select Comfort Corporation and our 100%-owned subsidiaries. All significant intra-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
At
July 1, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, we had deferred revenue totaling
$67 million
and
$61 million
, of which
$25 million
and
$21 million
are included in other current liabilities, respectively, and
$42 million
and
$40 million
are included in other non-current liabilities, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheets. We also have related deferred costs totaling
$38 million
and
$33 million
, of which
$14 million
and
$11 million
are included in other current assets, respectively, and
$24 million
and
$22 million
are included in other non-current assets, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheets. The deferred revenue and costs are recognized over the product’s estimated life of
four years
.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance on the accounting for, and disclosure of, stock-based compensation which we adopted effective January 1, 2017. The new guidance is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements, including the income tax impact, forfeitures and classification on the statement of cash flows. Under the previous guidance, excess tax benefits and deficiencies were recognized in additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheets. Upon adoption of the new guidance, these excess tax benefits or deficiencies are required to be recognized as discrete adjustments to income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations on a prospective basis. During the
three and six months ended
July 1, 2017
, excess tax benefits of
$0.4 million
and
$1.2 million
, respectively, were recognized as a reduction of income tax expense, rather than in additional paid-in capital.
In addition, under the new guidance, excess income tax benefits from stock-based compensation arrangements are classified as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity. This resulted in an increase to operating cash flows of
$0.9 million
and
$2.1 million
for the
three and six months ended
July 1, 2017
. We elected to apply the new cash flow classification guidance prospectively. The prior-year statement of cash flows has not been adjusted.

AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
We have also elected to continue to estimate the number of stock-based awards expected to vest, as permitted by the new guidance, rather than electing to account for forfeitures as they occur.
Not Yet Adopted
In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This new guidance was originally effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption was not permitted. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date from fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years). Early adoption is permitted to the original effective date of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 (including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years). Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this new guidance. When we adopt this new guidance, we expect to use the modified retrospective approach which will result in an adjustment to opening retained earnings, but would not restate prior periods' financial statements. We are continuing to evaluate the effect on our revenue recognition, disclosure requirements and changes that may be necessary to our internal controls over financial reporting.
In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on accounting for leases that generally requires most leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. This new guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The provisions of this new guidance are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach, with elective reliefs, which requires application of the new guidance for all periods presented. We are evaluating the effect of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
2. Fair Value Measurements
At
July 1, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, we had
$2.9 million
and
$2.3 million
, respectively, of debt and equity securities that fund our deferred compensation plan and are classified in other non-current assets. We also had corresponding deferred compensation plan liabilities of
$2.9 million
and
$2.3 million
at

, respectively, which are included in other non-current liabilities. The majority of the debt and equity securities are Level 1 as they trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable us to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis. Unrealized gains/(losses) on the debt and equity securities offset those associated with the corresponding deferred compensation plan liabilities.

5. Credit Agreement
In March 2017, we amended our revolving credit facility to increase our net aggregate availability from
$150 million
to
$153.15 million
. We maintained the accordion feature which allows us to increase the amount of the credit facility from
$153.15 million
to
$200 million
, subject to lenders' approval. There were no other changes to the credit agreement's terms and conditions.
The credit facility is for general corporate purposes and is utilized to meet our seasonal working capital requirements. The credit facility matures in
February 2021
. The credit agreement provides the lenders with a collateral security interest in substantially all of our assets and those of our subsidiaries and requires us to comply with, among other things, a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. Under the terms of the credit agreement we pay a variable rate of interest and a commitment fee based on our leverage ratio.
As of
July 1, 2017
, we had
$14 million
in outstanding borrowings and
$3.15 million
in outstanding letters of credit. We had additional borrowing capacity of
$136 million
. As of
July 1, 2017
, the weighted-average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the credit facility was
3.3%
. We were in compliance with all financial covenants.

Legal Proceedings
We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, including primarily commercial, product liability, employment and intellectual property claims. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements with respect to any of these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. With respect to currently pending legal proceedings, we have not established an estimated range of reasonably possible additional losses either because we believe that we have valid defenses to claims asserted against us or the proceeding has not advanced to a stage of discovery that would enable us to establish an estimate. We currently do not expect the outcome of these matters to have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Litigation, however, is inherently unpredictable, and it is possible that the ultimate outcome of one or more claims asserted against us could adversely impact our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We expense legal costs as incurred.
On January 12, 2015, Plaintiffs David and Katina Spade commenced a purported class action lawsuit in New Jersey state court against Select Comfort alleging that Select Comfort violated New Jersey consumer statutes by failing to provide to purchasing consumers certain disclosures required by the New Jersey Furniture Regulations. It is undisputed that plaintiffs suffered no actual damages or in any way relied upon or were impacted by the alleged omissions. Nonetheless, on behalf of a purported class of New Jersey purchasers of Select Comfort beds and bases, plaintiffs seek to recover a $100 statutory fine for each alleged omission, along with attorneys’ fees and costs. Select Comfort removed the case to the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, which subsequently granted Select Comfort’s motion to dismiss. Plaintiffs appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, which has certified two questions of law to the New Jersey Supreme Court relating to whether plaintiffs who have suffered no actual injury may bring claims. The New Jersey Supreme Court has accepted the certified questions and the parties are in the process of preparing and submitting briefs. As the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey determined, we believe that the case is without merit and the order of dismissal should be affirmed.

We have a long-term orientation and are focused on delivering sustainable, profitable growth.
Results of Operations
Quarterly and Year-to-Date Results
Quarterly and year-to-date operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, including increases or decreases in sales, the timing, amount and effectiveness of advertising expenditures, changes in sales return rates or warranty experience, timing of investments in growth initiatives and infrastructure, timing of store openings/closings and related expenses, changes in net sales resulting from changes in our store base, the timing of new product introductions, the timing of promotional offerings, competitive factors, changes in commodity costs, any disruptions in supplies or third-party service providers, seasonality of retail and bedding industry sales, consumer confidence and general economic conditions. Therefore, our historical results of operations may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for any future period.
Highlights
Financial highlights for the period ended
July 1, 2017
were as follows:
|
|
|
|
•
|
Net sales for the
three months ended
July 1, 2017
increased
3%
to
$285 million
, compared with
$277 million
for the same period one year ago. Net sales for the three months ended July 1, 2017 were affected by an approximately $25 million shift in sales from our second quarter to our third quarter (representing approximately 9 percentage points (ppt.) of additional growth over the prior year) as a result of a delay in deliveries and shipments related to an inventory shortage from one of our new suppliers. The issue has been resolved and we don't expect a shortage in the future. We now have the necessary inventory to fulfill our outstanding second-quarter orders and the new supplier's production output has been exceeding our forecasted demand for the third quarter and beyond.
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
The
3%
sales
increase
was driven by 8 ppt. of growth from sales generated by
43
net new stores opened in the past 12 months, partially offset by a
4%
comparable sales
decline
in our Company-Controlled channel.
|
|
|
|
|
•

Comparison of Three Months Ended
July 1, 2017
with Three Months Ended
July 2, 2016
Net sales
Net sales
increased
3%
to
$285 million
for the three months ended
July 1, 2017
, compared with
$277 million
for the same period one year ago. Net sales for the three months ended July 1, 2017 were affected by an approximately $25 million shift in sales from our second quarter to our third quarter as a result of delay in deliveries and shipments related to an inventory shortage from one of our new suppliers. The issue has been resolved and we don't expect a shortage in the future. We now have the necessary inventory to fulfill our outstanding second-quarter orders and the new supplier's production output has been exceeding our forecasted demand for the third quarter and beyond. The
3%
sales
increase
was driven by 8 percentage points (ppt.) of growth from sales generated by
43
net new stores opened in the past 12 months, partially offset by a
4%
comparable sales
decline
in our Company-Controlled channel.
The
$8 million
net sales increase compared with the same period one year ago was comprised of the following: (i) a $21 million increase resulting from net store openings; partially offset by (ii) a $10 million decrease in sales from our Company-Controlled comparable sales; and (iii) a $3 million decrease in Wholesale/Other channel sales. Company-Controlled mattress unit sales increased 2%. Average revenue per mattress unit in our Company-Controlled channel increased by
2%
to
$4,306
.
Gross profit
Gross profit of
$177 million
increased
by
$5 million
compared with the same period one year ago. The gross profit rate increased to
62.0%
of net sales for the three months ended
July 1, 2017
, compared with
61.9%
for the prior-year comparable period. The current-year gross profit rate improvement of 0.1 ppt. was primarily due to lower sales return and exchange costs compared with the same period one year ago and operating efficiencies which more than offset margin pressures from supply chain shipping inefficiencies related to the delayed deliveries in the second quarter. In addition, our gross profit rate can fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to a variety of other factors, including warranty expenses, product mix changes and performance-based incentive compensation.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended
July 1, 2017
increased to
$144 million
, or
50.8%
of net sales, compared with
$135 million
, or
48.7%
of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The 2.1 ppt. increase in the sales and marketing expense rate was mainly due to the deleveraging impact resulting from the $25 million net sales shift from our second quarter to our third quarter.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative (G&A) expenses totaled
$29 million
for the three months ended
July 1, 2017
, compared with
$27 million
in the prior-year period, and increased to
10.1%
of net sales, compared with
9.8%
of net sales last year. The
$1.8 million
increase
in G&A expenses consisted primarily of the following: (i) $0.9 million increase in infrastructure expenses to support key business initiatives; (ii) $0.5 million of additional depreciation and amortization expense, including incremental depreciation expense from capital expenditures that support the growth of our business; and (iii) a $0.4 million net increase in miscellaneous other expenses. The G&A expense rate increased by
0.3
ppt. in the current-year period compared with the same period one year ago due to the deleveraging impact from the $25 million net sales shift from our second quarter to our third quarter.
Research and development expenses
Research and development (R&D) expenses for the
three months ended
July 1, 2017
were
$6.4 million
, or
2.2%
of net sales, compared with
$7.1 million
, or
2.6%
of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The
$0.7 million
decrease in R&D expenses was due to the timing of our investments to support product innovations. For the
three months ended
July 1, 2017
, the investment spending is consistent with our current-year and long-term consumer innovation strategy.
Income tax (benefit) expense
Income tax benefit was $2.6 million for the
three months ended
July 1, 2017
, compared with income tax expense of
$0.8 million
for the same period one year ago. The tax benefit for the current-year period primarily resulted from: (i) the recognition of additional tax credits; and (ii) stock-based compensation excess tax benefits in accordance with new Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidance effective for us beginning in 2017. Under previous FASB guidance, excess tax benefits or deficiencies were recognized in additional paid-in capital in our consolidated balance sheet. See Note 1,
New Accounting Pronouncements,
in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.
Comparison of
Six Months Ended
July 1, 2017
with
Six Months Ended
July 2, 2016
Net sales
Net sales increased
8%
to
$679 million
for the
six months ended
July 1, 2017
, compared with
$630 million
for the same period one year ago. The sales change was comprised of 9 percentage points (ppt.) of growth from sales generated by
43
net new retail stores opened in the past 12 months, partially offset by a decrease in Wholesale/Other channel sales. Company-Controlled comparable sales were flat year-over-year. Net sales for the
six months ended
July 1, 2017
were affected by an approximately $25 million shift in sales from our second quarter to our third quarter as a result of a delay in deliveries and shipments related to an inventory shortage from one of our new suppliers. The issue has been resolved and we don't expect a shortage in the future. We now have the necessary inventory to fulfill our outstanding second-quarter orders and the new supplier's production output has been exceeding our forecasted demand for the third quarter and beyond.
The
$49 million
net sales increase compared with the same period one year ago was comprised of the following: (i) a $53 million increase resulting from net store openings; and (ii) a $1 million increase in sales from our Company-Controlled comparable sales; partially offset by (iii) a $5 million decrease in Wholesale/Other channel sales. Company-Controlled mattress units increased 7% compared to the prior-year period. Average revenue per mattress unit in our Company-Controlled channel increased by
2%
.
Gross profit
Gross profit of
$423 million
for the
six months ended
July 1, 2017
increased by
$43 million
, or
11%
, compared with the same period one year ago. The gross profit rate increased to
62.3%
of net sales for the first six months of 2017, compared with
60.4%
for the prior-year period. The prior-year gross profit rate was negatively impacted by actions taken to manage operating issues associated with our ERP implementation. The current-year gross profit rate improvement of
1.9
ppt. was primarily due to manufacturing efficiencies and lower sales return and exchange costs compared with the same period one year ago. In addition, our gross profit rate can fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to a variety of other factors, including warranty expenses, product mix changes and performance-based incentive compensation.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses for the
six months ended
July 1, 2017
increased
to
$314 million
compared with
$285 million
for the same period one year ago, and increased to
46.2%
of net sales compared with
45.3%
of net sales last year. The
0.9
ppt. increase in the sales and marketing expense rate was mainly due to the deleveraging impact resulting from the $25 million net sales shift from our second quarter to our third quarter; partially offset by 0.5 ppt. of leverage from media spending, which increased by 4% compared with the prior year, while net sales increased by
8%
.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative (G&A) expenses totaled
$63 million
for the
six months ended
July 1, 2017
, compared with
$58 million
in the prior-year period, but the expense rate remained consistent with the prior year at
9.2%
of net sales. The
$5 million
increase
in G&A expenses consisted primarily of the following: (i) a $1.0 million increase in employee compensation, including a year-over-year increase in company-wide performance-based incentive compensation, and wage rate increases that were in line with inflation; (ii) $2.1 million of additional depreciation and amortization expense, including incremental depreciation expense from capital expenditures that support the growth of our business; and (iii) a $1.6 million net increase in miscellaneous other expenses. The current year G&A expense rate, while consistent with the prior-year, was negatively impacted by the deleveraging impact from the $25 million net sales shift from our second quarter to our third quarter.
Research and development expenses
Research and development (R&D) expenses for the
six months ended
July 1, 2017
were
$14 million
, or
2.1%
of net sales, compared with
$15 million
, or
2.3%
of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The
$1 million
decrease in R&D expenses was due to the timing of our investments to support product innovations. The investment spending year-to-date is consistent with our current-year and long-term consumer innovation strategy.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense was $
8.7 million
for the
six months ended
July 1, 2017
, compared with
$7.6 million
for the same period one year ago. The effective tax rate for the
six months ended
July 1, 2017 was
26.8%
compared with
34.5%
for the prior-year period. The effective tax rate for the current-year period benefited from: (i) stock-based compensation excess tax benefits in accordance with new Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidance effective for us beginning in 2017; and (ii) the recognition of additional tax credits. Under previous FASB guidance, excess tax benefits or deficiencies were recognized in additional paid-in capital in our consolidated balance sheet. See Note 1,
New Accounting Pronouncements,
in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Managing our liquidity and capital resources is an important part of our commitment to deliver superior shareholder value. Our business model, which can operate with minimal working capital, does not require additional capital from external sources to fund operations or organic growth. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows provided by operating activities and cash available under our $153 million revolving credit facility. The cash generated from ongoing operations, and cash available under our revolving credit facility are expected to be adequate to maintain operations and fund anticipated expansion and strategic initiatives for the foreseeable future.
As of
July 1, 2017
, cash and cash equivalents totaled
$2 million
compared with
$12 million
as of
December 31, 2016
. The
$10 million
decrease
was primarily due to
$89 million
of cash provided by operating activities, which was more than offset by
$27 million
of cash used to purchase property and equipment and
$80 million
of cash used to repurchase our common stock (
$75 million
under our Board-approved share repurchase program and
$5 million
in connection with the vesting of employee restricted stock grants).
The following table summarizes our cash flows (dollars in millions). Amounts may not add due to rounding differences:

Cash provided by operating activities for the
six months ended
July 1, 2017
was
$89 million
compared with
$47 million
for the
six months ended
July 2, 2016
. Significant components of the year-over-year change in cash provided by operating activities included: (i) a $9 million increase in net income for the
six months ended
July 1, 2017
, compared with the same period one year ago; (ii) a $46 million fluctuation in customer prepayments resulting from higher than normal customer prepayments at January 2, 2016 (due to ERP implementation issues) and July 1, 2017 (due to an inventory shortage from one of our new suppliers); (iii) a $30 million fluctuation in income taxes based on a $15 million income taxes receivable at January 2, 2016 and a $4 million income taxes receivable at July 1, 2017 (income taxes payable for comparable periods); and (iv) the ERP implementation issues we experienced in our plants and supply chain during the fourth quarter of 2015 that resulted in increased accounts receivables, higher inventories, higher accounts payable and lower other taxes and withholding at the end of 2015.
Net cash
used in
investing activities was
$24 million
for the
six months ended
July 1, 2017
, compared with
$9 million
of net cash used in investing activities for the same period one year ago. Investing activities for the current-year period included
$27 million
of property and equipment purchases, compared with
$24 million
for the same period last year. We
decreased
our investments in marketable debt securities by
$15 million
during the
six months ended
July 2, 2016
. We did not hold any investments in marketable debt securities as of
December 31, 2016
or
July 1, 2017
.
Net cash
used in
financing activities was
$74 million
for the
six months ended
July 1, 2017
, compared with
$57 million
for the same period one year ago. During the
six months ended
July 1, 2017
, we repurchased
$80 million
of our stock (
$75 million
under our Board-approved share repurchase program and
$5 million
in connection with the vesting of employee restricted stock awards) compared with
$71 million
(
$70 million
under our Board-approved share repurchase program and
$1 million
in connection with the vesting of employee restricted stock awards) during the same period one year ago. Short-term borrowings increased by $3 million during the current-year period, reflecting $14 million of borrowings under our $153 million revolving credit facility as of July 1, 2017, partially offset by a decrease in book overdrafts which are included in the net change in short-term borrowings.
Under our Board-approved share repurchase program, we repurchased
3.1 million
shares at a cost of
$75 million
(an average of
$24.57
per share) during the
six months ended
July 1, 2017
. During the
six months ended
July 2, 2016
, we repurchased
3.6 million
shares at a cost of
$70 million
(an average of
$19.70
per share). At
July 1, 2017
, the remaining authorization under our Board-approved share repurchase program was
$170 million
. There is no expiration date governing the period over which we can repurchase shares.
In March 2017, we amended our revolving credit facility to increase our net aggregate availability from
$150 million
to
$153 million
. We maintained the accordion feature which allows us to increase the amount of the credit facility from
$153 million
to
$200 million
, subject to lenders' approval. There were no other changes to the credit agreement's terms and conditions.
The credit facility is for general corporate purposes and is utilized to meet our seasonal working capital requirements. The credit facility matures in
February 2021
. The credit agreement provides the lenders with a collateral security interest in substantially all of our assets and those of our subsidiaries and requires us to comply with, among other things, a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. Under the terms of the credit agreement we pay a variable rate of interest and a commitment fee based on our leverage ratio.
As of
July 1, 2017
, we had
$14 million
in outstanding borrowings and
$3.15 million
in outstanding letters of credit. We had additional borrowing capacity of
$136 million
. As of
July 1, 2017
, the weighted-average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the credit facility was
3.3%
. We were in compliance with all financial covenants.
We have an agreement with Synchrony Bank to offer qualified customers revolving credit arrangements to finance purchases from us (Synchrony Agreement). The Synchrony Agreement contains certain financial covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. As of
July 1, 2017
, we were in compliance with all financial covenants.
Under the terms of the Synchrony Agreement, Synchrony Bank sets the minimum acceptable credit ratings, the interest rates, fees and all other terms and conditions of the customer accounts, including collection policies and procedures, and is the owner of the accounts.
Non-GAAP Data
Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA)
We define earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) as net income plus: income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and asset impairments. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful indicator of our financial performance and our ability to generate cash from operating activities. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled definitions used by other companies. The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to the comparable GAAP financial measure.

Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)
(dollars in thousands)
ROIC is a financial measure we use to determine how efficiently we deploy our capital. It quantifies the return we earn on our invested capital. Management believes ROIC is also a useful metric for investors and financial analysts. We compute ROIC as outlined below. Our definition and calculation of ROIC may not be comparable to similarly titled definitions and calculations used by other companies. The tables below reconcile net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) and total invested capital, which are non-GAAP financial measures, to the comparable GAAP financial measures:

(1)
Rent expense is added back to operating income to show the impact of owning versus leasing the related assets.
(2)
Depreciation is based on the average of the last five fiscal quarters' ending capitalized operating lease obligations (see note 6) for the respective reporting periods with an assumed thirty-year useful life. This is subtracted from operating income to illustrate the impact of owning versus leasing the related assets.
(3)
Reflects annual effective income tax rates, before discrete adjustments, of
32.9%
and
31.9%
for
2017
and
2016
, respectively.
(4)
Cash greater than target is defined as cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities less customer prepayments in excess of $100 million.
(5)
Long-term debt includes existing capital lease obligations, if applicable.
(6)
A multiple of eight times annual rent expense is used as an estimate for capitalizing our operating lease obligations. The methodology utilized aligns with the methodology of a nationally recognized credit rating agency.
(7)
Average invested capital represents the average of the last five fiscal quarters' ending invested capital balances.
(8)
ROIC equals NOPAT divided by average invested capital.
Note - Our ROIC calculation and data are considered non-GAAP financial measures and are not in accordance with, or preferable to, GAAP financial data.
