Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES At January 28, 2018, we were contingently liable for approximately $447 million under outstanding letters of credit and open accounts issued for certain business transactions, including insurance programs, trade contracts, and construction contracts. Our letters of credit are primarily performance-based and are not based on changes in variable components, a liability or an equity security of the other party. In addition to the Data Breach described below, we are involved in litigation arising in the normal course of business. In management’s opinion, any such litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Data Breach As previously reported, in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, we confirmed that our payment data systems were breached, which potentially impacted customers who used payment cards at self-checkout systems in our U.S. and Canadian stores (the "Data Breach"). The Data Breach resulted in a number of claims and investigations, a significant number of which had been resolved prior to fiscal 2017. During fiscal 2017, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia approved settlement agreements that resolved and dismissed the claims asserted in the two remaining litigation matters, the financial institution class actions and the purported shareholder derivative actions. We previously recorded accruals for estimated probable losses in connection with the matters described above. As of the end of fiscal 2017, we had resolved the consumer, financial institution, and shareholder derivative claims, representing the significant majority of the claims relating to the Data Breach, and there were no material changes during fiscal 2017 to our loss contingency assessment relating to any remaining matters. Further, we do not believe that the ultimate amounts to be paid with respect to any remaining matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows in future periods. As a result, in future filings we do not anticipate providing separate reporting with respect to the Data Breach.
