Leases [Abstract]  
Leases Leases
During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and all related amendments. The guidance requires lessees to recognize substantially all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and a lease liability. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 resulted in an increase in total long-term assets and total liabilities of $314.2 million at the beginning of fiscal 2020.
The Company leases real estate for retail stores, distribution centers, warehouses, plants, showrooms and office space. We also have equipment leases for tractors/trailers, IT and office equipment and vehicles. We determine if a contract contains a lease at inception based on our right to control the use of an identified asset and our right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of that identified asset. Most of our real estate leases include options to renew or terminate early. We assess these options to determine if we are reasonably certain of exercising these options based on all relevant economic and financial factors. Any options that meet these criteria are included in the lease term at lease commencement.
Most of our leases do not have an interest rate implicit in the lease. As a result, for purposes of measuring our ROU asset and lease liability, we determine our incremental borrowing rate by applying a spread above the U.S. Treasury borrowing rates. In the case an interest rate is implicit in a lease we will use that rate as the discount rate for that lease. Some of our leases contain variable rent payments based on a Consumer Price Index or percentage of sales. Due to the variable nature of these costs, they are not included in the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability.
The Company has elected to apply the practical expedients permitted under transition guidance to forgo the restatement of comparative periods and to not reassess leases entered into prior to adoption. In addition, we have elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components when determining the ROU asset and lease liability. We have also made an accounting policy election to not recognize an ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for those leases with an initial term of one year or less and instead, such liabilities will be expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

COVID-19 Impact

In response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, beginning in April of fiscal 2020, we have secured rent relief from several of our lessors, most often in the form of the deferral of rent payments for one or more months. Under these agreements, certain rent payments will be deferred without penalty and will be paid back over varying periods. In accordance with FASB Staff Q&A - Topic 842 and Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic ("FASB Staff Q&A") issued in April 2020, we have elected to account for lease deferrals resulting directly from COVID-19 as if the enforceable rights and obligations for the deferrals existed in the respective contracts at lease inception and as such we will not account for the deferrals as lease modifications. Guidance from the FASB Staff Q&A provided methods to account for such rent deferrals which include the option to treat the lease as if no changes to the lease contract were made or to treat the deferred
payments as variable lease payments. The FASB Staff Q&A allows entities to select the most practical approach and does not require the same approach be applied consistently to all leases. For the majority of our leases, we elected to account for the deferrals as if no changes to the lease contract were made and continued to recognize lease expense, on a straight-line basis, during the deferral period. During April of fiscal 2020, payment deferrals and concessions totaled $4.4 million, the majority of which was recorded in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
