Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] |
Revenues | REVENUES Adoption of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the FASB issued Topic 606 which provides a single accounting model for revenue from contracts with customers and supersedes the previous revenue recognition guidance, including certain industry-specific and transaction-specific guidance. The core principle of Topic 606 is that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The Company adopted Topic 606 on June 1, 2018 and elected to apply Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method. The Company determined that the adoption of Topic 606 had the following impact: (i) a deferral of certain revenue associated with the Company's book fairs incentive program (reflected in Deferred revenue), (ii) recognition of a refund liability (recorded as an increase to Other accrued expenses) and a return asset (recorded as an increase to Prepaid expenses and other current assets) for the right to recover products from customers upon settling the refund liability based on expected returns and (iii) recognition of previously capitalized direct response advertising costs as incurred, primarily related to the magazines business. Transition The Company applied Topic 606 to all contracts as of the date of initial adoption, June 1, 2018. The cumulative effect of adopting Topic 606 was a $47.0 decrease to the opening balance of Retained earnings as of June 1, 2018. The cumulative effect of the changes made to the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 1, 2018 are as follows:
| As reported - May 31, 2018 | Adjustments due to adoption |  | June 1, 2018
Accounts receivable, net | $ | 204.9 |  | $ | 31.1 |  | (1) | $ | 236.0 |

Estimated Returns As of May 31, 2019, a liability for expected returns of $34.5 was recorded within Other accrued expenses on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. In addition, as of May 31, 2019, a return asset of $1.6 was recorded within Prepaid expenses and other current assets for the recoverable cost of product estimated to be returned by customers. Deferred Revenue The Company's contract liabilities consist of advance billings and payments received from customers in excess of revenue recognized and revenue allocated to outstanding book fairs incentive credits. These liabilities are recorded within Deferred revenue on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and are classified as short term, as substantially all of the associated performance obligations are expected to be satisfied, and related revenue recognized, within one year. The amount of revenue recognized during the year ended May 31, 2019 included within the opening Deferred revenue balance was $107.2.
