Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND GUARANTEES | COMMITMENTS AND GUARANTEES COMMITMENTS — The Company has numerous assets, predominantly real estate, vehicles and equipment, under various lease arrangements. At inception of arrangements with vendors, the Company determines whether the contract is or contains a lease based on each party’s rights and obligations under the arrangement. If the lease arrangement also contains non-lease components, the lease and non-lease elements are separately accounted for in accordance with the appropriate accounting guidance for each item. From time to time, lease arrangements allow for, and the Company executes, the purchase of the underlying leased asset. Lease arrangements may also contain renewal options or early termination options. As part of its lease liability and right-of-use asset calculation, consideration is given to the likelihood of exercising any extension or termination options. The present value of the Company’s lease liability was calculated using a weighted-average incremental borrowing rate of 3.75%. The Company determined its incremental borrowing rate based on interest rates from its debt issuances taking into consideration adjustments for collateral, lease terms and foreign currency. As a result of acquiring right-of-use assets from new leases entered into during the year ended December 28, 2019, the Company's lease liability increased approximately $186.9 million. As of December 28, 2019, the Company recognized a lease liability of approximately $536.9 million and a right-of-use asset of approximately $535.4 million. The right-of-use asset is included within Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, while the lease liability is included within Accrued expenses and Other liabilities, as appropriate. As permitted by ASC 842, leases with expected durations of less than 12 months from inception (i.e. short-term leases) were excluded from the Company’s calculation of its lease liability and right-of-use asset. Furthermore, as permitted by ASC 842, the Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients upon transition, which allowed companies not to reassess: (a) whether its expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (b) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (c) initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company is a party to leases for one of its major distribution centers and two of its office buildings in which the periodic rental payments vary based on interest rates (i.e. LIBOR). The leases qualify as operating leases for accounting purposes. The following is a summary of the Company's total lease cost for the year ended December 28, 2019:
(Millions of Dollars) | 2019
Operating lease cost | $ | 151.6 |
Short-term lease cost | 26.6 |
Variable lease cost | 8.5 |
Sublease income | (2.8 | )
Total lease cost | $ | 183.9 |
During 2019, the Company paid approximately $154.4 million relating to leases included in the measurement of its lease liability and right-of-use asset. The weighted-average remaining term for the Company's leases is approximately 7 years. The following is a summary of the Company's future lease obligations on an undiscounted basis at December 28, 2019:
(Millions of Dollars) | Total |  | 2020 |  | 2021 |  | 2022 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | Thereafter
Lease obligations | $ | 607.4 |  |  | $ | 144.1 |  |  | $ | 110.7 |  |  | $ | 82.4 |  |  | $ | 59.4 |  |  | $ | 53.7 |  |  | $ | 157.1 |
In 2019, the Company completed many actions within the Margin Resiliency Program and one rooftop footprint initiative resulted in a sale-leaseback arrangement related to one of its distribution centers, which resulted in cash proceeds of $93.0 million, a pre-tax gain of $69.5 million and a twelve-year lease obligation. Prior to the adoption of the new lease standard as further discussed in Note A, Significant Accounting Policies, the Company's rental expense, exclusive of sublease income, for operating leases was $177.6 million and $150.4 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively. The following is a summary of the Company’s future marketing commitments at December 28, 2019:
(Millions of Dollars) | Total |  | 2020 |  | 2021 |  | 2022 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | Thereafter
Marketing commitments | $ | 34.5 |  |  | $ | 24.9 |  |  | $ | 6.5 |  |  | $ | 2.7 |  |  | $ | 0.4 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |
GUARANTEES — The Company's financial guarantees at December 28, 2019 are as follows:
(Millions of Dollars) | Term |  | Maximum Potential Payment |  | Carrying Amount of Liability
Guarantees on the residual values of leased properties | One to five years |  | $ | 102.6 |  |  | $ | — |
Standby letters of credit | Up to three years |  | 154.4 |  |  | — |
Commercial customer financing arrangements | Up to six years |  | 64.7 |  |  | 6.3 |
Total |  |  | $ | 321.7 |  |  | $ | 6.3 |
The Company has guaranteed a portion of the residual values of leased assets relating to the previously discussed leases for one of its major distribution centers and two of its office buildings. The lease guarantees aggregate $102.6 million while the fair value of the underlying assets is estimated at $123.6 million. The related assets would be available to satisfy the guarantee obligations and therefore it is unlikely the Company will incur any future loss associated with these guarantees. The Company has issued $154.4 million in standby letters of credit that guarantee future payments which may be required under certain insurance programs and in relation to certain environmental remediation activities described more fully in Note S, Contingencies. The Company provides various limited and full recourse guarantees to financial institutions that provide financing to U.S. and Canadian Mac Tool distributors and franchisees for their initial purchase of the inventory and truck necessary to function as a distributor and franchisee. In addition, the Company provides limited and full recourse guarantees to financial institutions that extend credit to certain end retail customers of its U.S. Mac Tool distributors and franchisees. The gross amount guaranteed in these arrangements is $64.7 million and the $6.3 million carrying value of the guarantees issued is recorded in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company provides warranties which vary across its businesses. The types of product warranties offered generally range from one year to limited lifetime. There are also certain products with no warranty. Further, the Company sometimes incurs discretionary costs to service its products in connection with product performance issues. Historical warranty and service claim experience forms the basis for warranty obligations recognized. Adjustments are recorded to the warranty liability as new information becomes available. Following is a summary of the warranty liability activity for the years ended December 28, 2019, December 29, 2018, and December 30, 2017:
