Goodwill
and other intangible asset impairment -
|
|
Goodwill
and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are
evaluated for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the value of a certain asset may be
impaired. The process of evaluating goodwill for impairment
involves the determination of fair value. Inherent in such fair
value determinations are certain judgments and estimates, including the
interpretation of economic indicators and market valuations and
assumptions about our business plans. We have not made any
material changes to the method of evaluating goodwill and intangible asset
impairments during the last three years. Based on current
knowledge, we do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there
will be a material change in the estimate or assumptions used to determine
impairment.
|
|
Allowance
for doubtful accounts -
|
|
The
provision for bad debt is based on both specific receivables and historic
write-off percentages. We have not made any material changes to
the method of estimating our allowance for doubtful accounts during the
last three years. Based on current knowledge, we do not believe
there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in
the estimate or assumptions used to determine the
allowance.
|
|
Vendor
allowances -
|
|
Vendor
allowances are principally received as a result of purchase levels, sales
or promotion of vendors' products. Allowances are
generally recorded as a reduction of inventory and are recognized as a
reduction of cost of sales when the related merchandise is
sold. Those allowances received for promoting vendors' products
are offset against advertising expense and result in a reduction of
selling, general and administrative expenses to the extent of advertising
incurred, with the excess treated as a reduction of inventory
costs. We have not made any material changes to the method of
estimating our vendor allowances during the last three
years. Based on current knowledge, we do not believe there is a
reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the estimate
or assumptions used to determine vendor
allowances.
|
Liability
for closed locations -
|
|
The
liability is based on the present value of future rent obligations and
other related costs (net of estimated sublease rent) to the first lease
option date. We have not made any material changes to the
method of estimating our liability for closed locations during the last
three years. Based on current knowledge, we do not believe
there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in
the estimate or assumptions used to determine the
liability.
|
|
Liability
for insurance claims -
|
|
The
liability for insurance claims is recorded based on estimates for claims
incurred and is not discounted. The provisions are estimated in
part by considering historical claims experience, demographic factors and
other actuarial assumptions. We have not made any material
changes to the method of estimating our liability for insurance claims
during the last three years. Based on current knowledge, we do
not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material
change in the estimate or assumptions used to determine the
liability.
|
|
Cost
of sales -
|
|
Drugstore
cost of sales is derived based on point-of-sale scanning information with
an estimate for shrinkage and adjusted based on periodic
inventories. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or
market determined by the LIFO method. We have not made any
material changes to the method of estimating cost of sales during the last
three years. Based on current knowledge, we do not believe
there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in
the estimate or assumptions used to determine cost of
sales.
|
|
Income
Taxes -
|
|
We
are subject to routine income tax audits that occur periodically in the
normal course of business. U.S. federal, state and local and
foreign tax authorities raise questions regarding our tax filing
positions, including the timing and amount of deductions and the
allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. In evaluating the
tax benefits associated with our various tax filing positions, we record a
tax benefit for uncertain tax positions using the highest cumulative tax
benefit that is more likely than not to be realized.
Adjustments are made to our liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the
period in which we determine the issue is effectively settled with the tax
authorities, the statute of limitations expires for the return containing
the tax position or when more information becomes available. Our liability
for unrecognized tax benefits, including accrued penalties and interest,
is included in other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance
sheets and in income tax expense in our consolidated statements of
earnings.
In
determining our provision for income taxes, we use an annual effective
income tax rate based on full year income, permanent differences between
book and tax income, and statutory income tax rates. The effective income
tax rate also reflects our assessment of the ultimate outcome of tax
audits. Discrete events such as audit settlements or changes in tax laws
are recognized in the period in which they occur. Based on
current knowledge, we do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that
there will be a material change in the estimate or assumptions used to
determine income taxes.
