Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1
. Summary of Accounting Policies
Organization
We are a general merchandise retailer selling products to our guests through our stores and digital channels.
As described in Note
7
, in January 2015, we announced our exit from the Canadian market. Income and expenses directly attributable to the Canada exit are included in our financial statements and classified within discontinued operations. Discontinued operations refers only to our discontinued Canadian operations. Subsequent to our exit from the Canadian market, we operate as a single segment that includes all of our continuing operations, which are designed to enable guests to purchase products seamlessly in stores or through our digital channels.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the balances of Target and its subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. All material subsidiaries are wholly owned. We consolidate variable interest entities where it has been determined that Target is the primary beneficiary of those entities' operations.
Use of estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates.
Fiscal year
Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest January 31. Unless otherwise stated, references to years in this report relate to fiscal years, rather than to calendar years. Fiscal
2017
ended
February 3, 2018
, and consisted of
53
weeks. Fiscal
2016
ended
January 28, 2017
, and consisted of
52
weeks. Fiscal
2015
ended
January 30, 2016
, and consisted of
52
weeks. Fiscal 2018 will end February 2, 2019, and will consist of
52
weeks.
Accounting policies
Our accounting policies are disclosed in the applicable Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Note 3 provides more information about a reclassification of supply chain-related depreciation expense to Cost of Sales.
2
. Revenues
Our retail stores generally record revenue at the point of sale. Digital channel sales include shipping revenue and are recorded upon delivery to the guest. Total revenues do not include sales tax because we are a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting sales taxes. Generally, guests may return national brand merchandise within
90 days
of purchase and owned and exclusive brands within
one year
of purchase. Revenues are recognized net of expected returns, which we estimate using historical return patterns as a percentage of sales and our expectation of future returns. Commissions earned on sales generated by leased departments are included within sales and were
$44 million
,
$42 million
, and
$37 million
in
2017
,
2016
, and
2015
, respectively.
Revenue from gift card sales is recognized upon gift card redemption. Our gift cards do not expire. Based on historical redemption rates, a small and relatively stable percentage of gift cards will never be redeemed, referred to as "breakage." Estimated breakage revenue is recognized over time in proportion to actual gift card redemptions and was not material in any period presented.
Guests receive a
5
percent discount on virtually all purchases and receive free shipping at Target.com when they use their Target Debit Card, Target Credit Card, or Target MasterCard (REDcards). The discount is included as a sales reduction in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and was
$933 million
,
$899 million
, and
$905 million
in
2017
,
2016
, and
2015
, respectively.
In 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)
. We will adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2018 using the full retrospective approach. The standard will not materially affect our consolidated net earnings, financial position, or cash flows. We expect minor changes to the timing of revenue recognition, primarily related to promotional gift cards, which we estimate will increase 2015 beginning retained earnings by less than
$20 million
upon adoption.
We completed our evaluation of the impact the standard has on our determination of whether we act as principal or agent in certain vendor arrangements where the purchase and sale of inventory are virtually simultaneous. We will continue to record revenue and related costs on a gross basis for the vast majority of these arrangements, which represent approximately
4 percent
of consolidated sales.
We will present certain other income streams, including credit card profit sharing income, in an Other Revenue line on our Consolidated Statements of Operations beginning in 2018.
3
. Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Beginning in the second quarter of 2017, we reclassified supply chain-related depreciation expense to Cost of Sales whereas it was previously included in Depreciation and Amortization on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We reclassified prior year amounts to reflect this change. This reclassification increased Cost of Sales by
$251 million
,
$273 million
, and
$244 million
for 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively, with equal and offsetting decreases to Depreciation and Amortization. This reclassification had no impact on Sales, Earnings Before Interest Expense and Income Taxes, Net Earnings or Earnings Per Share.
The following table illustrates the primary items classified in each major expense category:
|
|
|
Cost of Sales
|
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
|
Total cost of products sold including
• Freight expenses associated with moving
merchandise from our vendors to and between our
distribution centers and our retail stores
• Vendor income that is not reimbursement of
specific, incremental, and identifiable costs
Inventory shrink
Markdowns
Outbound shipping and handling expenses
associated with sales to our guests
Payment term cash discounts
Distribution center costs, including compensation
and benefits costs and depreciation
Import costs
|
Compensation and benefit costs for stores and
headquarters
Occupancy and operating costs of retail and
headquarters facilities
Advertising, offset by vendor income that is a
reimbursement of specific, incremental, and
identifiable costs
Pre-opening and exit costs of stores and other facilities
Credit cards servicing expenses and profit
sharing
Costs associated with accepting 3
rd
party bank issued
payment cards
Litigation and defense costs and related insurance
recovery
Other administrative costs
|
Note: The classification of these expenses varies across the retail industry.
4
. Consideration Received from Vendors
We receive consideration for a variety of vendor-sponsored programs, such as volume rebates, markdown allowances, promotions, and advertising allowances and for our compliance programs, referred to as "vendor income." Additionally, under our compliance programs, vendors are charged for merchandise shipments that do not meet our requirements (violations), such as late or incomplete shipments. Substantially all consideration received is recorded as a reduction of Cost of Sales.
We establish a receivable for vendor income that is earned but not yet received. Based on provisions of the agreements in place, this receivable is computed by estimating the amount earned when we have completed our performance. We perform detailed analyses to determine the appropriate level of the receivable in the aggregate. The majority of year-end receivables associated with these activities are collected within the following fiscal quarter. We have not historically had significant write-offs for these receivables.
5
. Advertising Costs
Advertising costs, which primarily consist of newspaper circulars, digital advertisements, and media broadcast, are generally expensed at first showing or distribution of the advertisement.

. Pharmacy Transaction
In December 2015, we sold our pharmacy and clinic businesses to CVS (the Pharmacy Transaction) for cash consideration of
$1.9 billion
, recognizing a gain of
$620 million
, and deferred income of
$694 million
. CVS now operates the pharmacy and clinic businesses in our stores and paid us
$27 million
and $
24 million
for occupancy during 2017 and 2016, respectively.

. Discontinued Operations
On January 15, 2015, Target Canada Co. and certain other wholly owned subsidiaries of Target (collectively, Canada Subsidiaries), comprising substantially all of our former Canadian operations and our former Canadian Segment, filed for protection under the CCAA with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Toronto (the Court) and were deconsolidated. The Canada Subsidiaries are in the process of liquidation.
As of the deconsolidation date, the loans, associated interest, and accounts receivable Target Corporation held are considered related party transactions and have been recognized in Target Corporation's consolidated financial statements within discontinued operations. In addition, we held an accrual for the estimated probable loss related to claims that may be asserted directly against us (rather than against the Canada Subsidiaries), primarily under our guarantees of certain leases of the Canada Subsidiaries.
As part of a March 2016 settlement between the Canada Subsidiaries and all of their former landlords, we agreed to subordinate a portion of our intercompany claims and make certain cash contributions to the Target Canada Co. estate in exchange for a full release from our obligations under guarantees of certain leases of the Canada Subsidiaries. The net pretax financial impact of the settlement and Court approved plan to complete the wind-down of the Canada Subsidiaries (Plan) was materially consistent with amounts previously recorded in our financial statements. During 2017 and 2016, we received
$16 million
and
$182 million
, respectively, from the Target Canada Co. estate and made cash contributions of
$0 million
and
$27 million
, respectively.

During 2016, we recognized net tax benefits of
$55 million
in discontinued operations, which primarily related to tax benefits from our investment losses in Canada recognized upon court approval of the Plan. During 2015, we recognized net tax benefits of
$171 million
in discontinued operations, which primarily related to our pretax exit costs and change in the estimated tax benefit from our investment losses in Canada. In 2015, substantially all of the
$1,889 million
Canada-related tax benefit recognized in 2014 was received or used to reduce our estimated tax payments.
8
. Restructuring Initiatives
In 2015, we initiated a series of headquarters workforce reductions intended to increase organizational effectiveness and provide cost savings that can be reinvested in our growth initiatives. As a result, during 2015 we recorded
$138 million
of severance and other benefits-related charges within SG&A Expense. The vast majority of these expenses required cash expenditures during 2015 and were not included in our segment results.
9
. Credit Card Profit Sharing
TD Bank Group underwrites, funds, and owns Target Credit Card and Target MasterCard receivables, controls risk management policies, and oversees regulatory compliance. We perform account servicing and primary marketing functions. We earn a substantial portion of the profits generated by the Target Credit Card and Target MasterCard portfolios. We earned
$694 million
,
$663 million
, and
$641 million
of net profit-sharing income during
2017
,
2016
, and
2015
, respectively, which reduced SG&A Expense.
10
. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements are reported in one of three levels based on the lowest level of significant input used: Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets); Level 2 (observable market inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1); and Level 3 (unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data).

. Inventory
The vast majority of our inventory is accounted for under the retail inventory accounting method (RIM) using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Inventory is stated at the lower of LIFO cost or market. The cost of our inventory includes the amount we pay to our suppliers to acquire inventory, freight costs incurred in connection with the delivery of product to our distribution centers and stores, and import costs, reduced by vendor income and cash discounts. The majority of our distribution center operating costs, including compensation and benefits, are expensed in the period incurred. Inventory is also reduced for estimated losses related to shrink and markdowns. The LIFO provision is calculated based on inventory levels, markup rates, and internally measured retail price indices.
Under RIM, inventory cost and the resulting gross margins are calculated by applying a cost-to-retail ratio to the inventory retail value. RIM is an averaging method that has been widely used in the retail industry due to its practicality. The use of RIM will result in inventory being valued at the lower of cost or market because permanent markdowns are taken as a reduction of the retail value of inventory.
We routinely enter into arrangements with vendors whereby we do not purchase or pay for merchandise until the merchandise is ultimately sold to a guest. Activity under this program is included in Sales and Cost of Sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, but the merchandise received under the program is not included in Inventory in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position because of the virtually simultaneous purchase and sale of this inventory. Sales made under these arrangements totaled
$2,562 million
,
$2,448 million
, and
$2,314 million
in
2017
,
2016
, and
2015

. Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives or lease terms if shorter. We amortize leasehold improvements purchased after the beginning of the initial lease term over the shorter of the assets' useful lives or a term that includes the original lease term, plus any renewals that are reasonably assured at the date the leasehold improvements are acquired. Depreciation and capital lease amortization expense for
2017
,
2016
, and
2015
was
$2,429 million
,
$2,280 million
, and
$2,191 million
, respectively, including depreciation expense included in Cost of Sales. Note 3 provides more information about a reclassification of supply chain-related depreciation expense to Cost of Sales. For income tax purposes, accelerated depreciation methods are generally used. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Facility pre-opening costs, including supplies and payroll, are expensed as incurred.

We review long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances—such as a decision to relocate or close a store or distribution center, make significant software changes or discontinue projects—indicate that the asset's carrying value may not be recoverable. We recognized impairment losses of
$91 million
,
$43 million
, and
$54 million
during 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. The impairment losses primarily resulted from planned or completed store closures, and for 2017 supply chain changes. For asset groups classified as held for sale, the carrying value is compared to the fair value less cost to sell. We estimate fair value by obtaining market appraisals, valuations from third party brokers, or other valuation techniques. Impairments are recorded in SG&A Expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill increased to
$630 million
at
February 3, 2018
from
$133 million
at
January 28, 2017
due to the December 2017 acquisition of Shipt, an online same-day delivery service platform, for approximately
$550 million
. We identified intangible assets of
$40 million
, primarily related to the tradename, customer relationships, and shopper lists, net tangible assets of
$10 million
, and goodwill of
$497 million
. The goodwill recorded primarily represents the value of significantly accelerating our ability to provide same-day delivery services to our guests.
During 2015, we announced our decision to wind down certain noncore operations. As a result, we recorded a
$35 million
pretax impairment loss, which included approximately
$23 million
of intangible assets and
$12 million
of goodwill. These costs were included in SG&A Expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations, but were not included in our segment results.
No
impairments were recorded in 2017 or 2016 as a result of the annual goodwill impairment tests performed.

We use the straight-line method to amortize leasehold acquisition costs primarily over
9
to
39 years
and other definite-lived intangibles over
3
to
15 years
. The weighted average life of leasehold acquisition costs and other intangible assets was
27 years
and
8 years
, respectively, at
February 3, 2018
. Amortization expense was
$16 million
,
$18 million

We retain a substantial portion of the risk related to general liability and workers' compensation claims. Liabilities associated with these losses include estimates of both claims filed and losses incurred but not yet reported. We estimate our ultimate cost based on analysis of historical data and actuarial estimates. General liability and workers' compensation liabilities are recorded at our estimate of their net present value.

. Commitments and Contingencies
Contingencies
We are exposed to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business and use various methods to resolve these matters in a manner that we believe serves the best interest of our shareholders and other constituents. When a loss is probable, we record an accrual based on the reasonably estimable loss or range of loss. When no point of loss is more likely than another, we record the lowest amount in the estimated range of loss and, if material, disclose the estimated range of loss. We do not record liabilities for reasonably possible loss contingencies, but do disclose a range of reasonably possible losses if they are material and we are able to estimate such a range. If we cannot provide a range of reasonably possible losses, we explain the factors that prevent us from determining such a range. Historically, adjustments to our estimates have not been material. We believe the recorded reserves in our consolidated financial statements are adequate in light of the probable and estimable liabilities. We do not believe that any of these identified claims or litigation will be material to our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
Commitments
Purchase obligations, which include all legally binding contracts such as firm commitments for inventory purchases, merchandise royalties, equipment purchases, marketing-related contracts, software acquisition/license commitments, and service contracts, were
$1,225 million
and
$1,762 million
at
February 3, 2018
and
January 28, 2017
, respectively. These purchase obligations are primarily due within
three years
and recorded as liabilities when inventory is received or services rendered. We issue inventory purchase orders, which represent authorizations to purchase that are cancelable by their terms. We do not consider purchase orders to be firm inventory commitments. If we choose to cancel a purchase order, we may be obligated to reimburse the vendor for unrecoverable outlays incurred prior to cancellation. Real estate obligations, which include commitments for the purchase, construction or remodeling of real estate and facilities, were $
716 million
and $
268 million
at
February 3, 2018
and
January 28, 2017
, respectively. These real estate obligations are primarily due within
one year
, a portion of which are recorded as liabilities.
We issue letters of credit and surety bonds in the ordinary course of business. Trade letters of credit totaled
$1,757 million
and
$1,330 million
at
February 3, 2018
and
January 28, 2017
, respectively, a portion of which are reflected in accounts payable. Standby letters of credit and surety bonds, relating primarily to insurance and regulatory requirements, totaled
$372 million
and

February 3, 2018

In October 2017, we issued unsecured fixed rate debt of
$750 million
at
3.9 percent
that matures in November 2047. During October 2017, we repurchased
$344 million
of debt before its maturity at a market value of
$463 million
. We recognized a loss on early retirement of approximately
$123 million
, which was recorded in Net Interest Expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
I
n May 2017 and January 2018, we repaid
$598 million
and
$1,084 million
, respectively, of debt at its maturity.
In April 2016, we issued unsecured fixed rate debt of
$1 billion
at
2.5 percent
that matures in April 2026 and
$1 billion
at
3.625 percent
that matures in April 2046. During the first half of 2016, we used cash on hand and proceeds from these issuances to repurchase
$1,389 million
of debt before its maturity at a market value of
$1,800 million
, repay
$750 million
of debt maturities, and for general corporate purposes. We recognized a loss on early retirement of approximately
$422 million
, which was recorded in Net Interest Expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations
.
We obtain short-term financing from time to time under our commercial paper program, a form of notes payable. No balances were outstanding at any time during 2017 and 2015. During 2016, the maximum amount outstanding was
$89 million
and the average daily amount outstanding was
$1 million
at a weighted average annual interest rate of
0.43 percent
.
In October 2017, we extended by one year a committed
$2.5 billion
revolving credit facility obtained in October 2016. This unsecured credit facility, which now expires in October 2022, replaced a
$2.25 billion
unsecured revolving credit facility that was scheduled to expire in October 2018.
No
balances were outstanding under either credit facility at any time during
2017
or
2016
.
Substantially all of our outstanding borrowings are senior, unsecured obligations. Most of our long-term debt obligations contain covenants related to secured debt levels. In addition to a secured debt level covenant, our credit facility also contains a debt leverage covenant. We are, and expect to remain, in compliance with these covenants, which have no practical effect on our ability to pay dividends.
21
. Derivative Financial Instruments
Our derivative instruments primarily consist of interest rate swaps, which are used to mitigate interest rate risk. As a result of our use of derivative instruments, we have counterparty credit exposure to large global financial institutions. We monitor this concentration of counterparty credit risk on an ongoing basis. See Note
10
for a description of the fair value measurement of our derivative instruments and their classification on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
As of
February 3, 2018
and
January 28, 2017
, two interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling
$1,000 million
were designated as fair value hedges. Under the swap agreements, we pay a floating rate equal to 3-month LIBOR and receive a weighted average fixed rate of
1.8 percent
. The agreements have a remaining maturity of
1.4 years
.
No
ineffectiveness was recognized in
2017
or
2016
.
$6 million
of designated interest rate swap-related liabilities were classified within Other Noncurrent Liabilities and
$4 million
of designated interest rate swap-related assets were classified within Other Noncurrent Assets on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of February 3, 2018 and January 28, 2017, respectively.
We recorded income of
$9 million
,
$24 million
, and
$36 million
during 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively, within Net Interest Expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations related to periodic payments, valuation adjustments, and amortization of gains or losses on our interest rate swaps.
22
. Leases
We lease certain retail locations, warehouses, distribution centers, office space, land, and equipment. Assets held under capital leases are included in Property and Equipment. Operating lease rentals are expensed on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease beginning on the date we take possession of the property. At lease inception, we determine the lease term by assuming the exercise of those renewal options that are reasonably assured. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. The lease term is used to determine whether a lease is capital or operating and is used to calculate straight-line rent expense. Additionally, the depreciable life of leased assets and leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term.
Rent expense is included in SG&A Expense. Some of our lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of retail sales over contractual levels and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Certain leases require us to pay real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance, and other operating expenses associated with the leased premises. These expenses are classified in SG&A Expense, consistent with similar costs for owned locations. CVS leases the space in our stores in which they operate CVS branded pharmacies and clinics. Rent income received from tenants who rent properties is recorded as a reduction to SG&A Expense.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,
Leases.
The new standard requires lessees to record assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement.
We plan to adopt the standard as of February 4, 2018, the beginning of fiscal 2018. We will elect the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allows us to carryforward the historical lease classification. We will also elect the practical expedient related to land easements, allowing us to carry forward our current accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements. In addition, we are electing the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases. Our election of the hindsight practical expedient will result in the shortening of lease terms for certain existing leases and the useful lives of corresponding leasehold improvements. We will make an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. We will recognize those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
We estimate adoption of the standard will result in recognition of additional net lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately
$1.3 billion
and
$1.4 billion
, respectively, as of February 4, 2018. The difference between these amounts will be recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings. We do not believe the standard will materially affect our consolidated net earnings.
We do not believe the new standard will have a notable impact on our liquidity. The standard will have no impact on our debt-covenant compliance under our current agreements.

. Income Taxes
In December 2017, the U.S. government enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act tax reform legislation (the Tax Act), which among other matters reduced the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent effective January 1, 2018.
The Tax Act implements a territorial tax system and imposes a one-time repatriation tax on deemed repatriated accumulated foreign earnings as of December 31, 2017. The one-time repatriation tax was not material because our foreign entities have an accumulated earnings deficit, driven by our discontinued operations.
We recognized the income tax effects of the Tax Act in our 2017 financial statements in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118), which provides SEC staff guidance for the application of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, in the reporting period in which the Tax Act was signed into law. As such, our financial results reflect the income tax effects of the Tax Act for which the accounting under ASC Topic 740 is complete and provisional amounts for those specific income tax effects of the Tax Act for which the accounting under ASC Topic 740 is incomplete but a reasonable estimate could be determined. We have not identified any items for which the income tax effects of the Tax Act could not be reasonably estimated.
We have recorded a provisional
$352 million
net tax benefit primarily related to the remeasurement of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities, including
$381 million
of benefit from the new lower rate, partially offset by
$29 million
of
deferred income tax expense from our foreign operations. Additional work is necessary for a more detailed analysis of (1) certain deferred tax assets and liabilities, including 2017 accelerated depreciation deductions and (2) historical foreign earnings and outside book/tax basis differences. We do not expect subsequent adjustments to be material, but any such adjustments related to these amounts will be recorded to tax expense in the quarter of 2018 in which we complete the analysis.
Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes were
$3,646 million
,
$3,965 million
, and
$4,923 million
during
2017
,
2016

2015

$722 million

$336 million

earned by our foreign entities subject to tax outside of the U.S.

In 2014, we incurred a tax effected capital loss of
$112 million
within discontinued operations from our exit from Canada. At that time, we neither had nor anticipated sufficient capital gains to absorb this capital loss, and established a full valuation allowance within discontinued operations. In 2015, we released the entire
$112 million
valuation allowance due to a capital gain resulting from the Pharmacy Transaction. The benefit of the valuation allowance release was recorded in continuing operations in 2015.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates in effect for the year the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Tax rate changes affecting deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized at the enactment date. We recognized a provisional net tax benefit of
$381 million
in 2017 because we remeasured our net deferred tax liabilities using the new lower U.S. corporate tax rate.
In 2017, due to changes effected by the Tax Act and other reasons, we have not asserted indefinite reinvestment in our foreign operations.
Because
of this change, we recorded a deferred tax charge of
$29 million
during 2017.
We file a U.S. federal income tax return and income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has completed exams on the U.S. federal income tax returns for years 2012 and prior. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to state and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2009.

If we were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded,
$261 million
of the
$325 million
reserve would benefit the effective tax rate. In addition, the reversal of accrued penalties and interest would also benefit the effective tax rate. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are recorded within income tax expense. During the years ended
February 3, 2018
,
January 28, 2017
, and
January 30, 2016
, we recorded a (benefit)
/
expense from accrued penalties and interest of
$(12) million
,
$1 million
, and
$5 million
, respectively. As of
February 3, 2018
,
January 28, 2017
, and
January 30, 2016
total accrued interest and penalties were
$29 million
,
$45 million
, and
$44 million
, respectively.
It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized tax benefits with respect to our other unrecognized tax positions will increase or decrease during the next
twelve months
; however, an estimate of the amount or range of the change cannot be made at this time.

. Share-Based Compensation
We maintain a long-term incentive plan (the Plan) for key team members and non-employee members of our Board of Directors. The Plan allows us to grant equity-based compensation awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance share units, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, or a combination of awards (collectively, share-based awards). The number of unissued common shares reserved for future grants under the Plan was
24.5 million
and
31.0 million
at
February 3, 2018
and
January 28, 2017
, respectively.
Compensation expense associated with share-based awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the vesting period or the minimum required service period and reflects estimated forfeitures. Share-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations was
$115 million
,
$116 million
, and
$118 million
in
2017
,
2016
, and
2015
, respectively. The related income tax benefit was
$26 million
,
$43 million
, and
$46 million
in
2017
,
2016
, and
2015
, respectively.
Restricted Stock Units
We issue restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units generally with
three
-year cliff or
four
-year graduated vesting from the grant date (collectively restricted stock units) to certain team members. The final number of shares issued under performance-based restricted stock units will be based on our total shareholder return relative to a retail peer group over a
three
-year performance period. We also regularly issue restricted stock units to our Board of Directors, which vest quarterly over a
one
-year period and are settled in shares of Target common stock upon departure from the Board. The fair value for restricted stock units is calculated based on the stock price on the date of grant, incorporating an analysis of the total shareholder return performance measure where applicable. The weighted average grant date fair value for restricted stock units was
$56.19
,
$74.05
, and
$73.76
in
2017
,
2016
, and
2015
, respectively.

The expense recognized each period is partially dependent upon our estimate of the number of shares that will ultimately be issued. At
February 3, 2018
, there was
$96 million
of total unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock units, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of
2.5
years. The fair value of restricted stock units vested and converted to shares of Target common stock was
$87 million
,
$75 million
, and
$90 million
in
2017
,
2016
, and
2015
, respectively.
Performance Share Units
We issue performance share units to certain team members that represent shares potentially issuable in the future. Issuance is based upon our performance relative to a retail peer group over a
three
-year performance period on certain measures including domestic market share change, return on invested capital, and EPS growth. In 2015 we also issued strategic alignment performance share units to certain team members. Issuance is based on performance against
four
strategic metrics identified as vital to Target's success, including total sales growth, digital channel sales growth, EBIT growth, and return on invested capital, over a
two
-year performance period. The fair value of performance share units is calculated based on the stock price on the date of grant. The weighted average grant date fair value for performance share units was
$55.93
,
$71.37
, and
$74.19
in
2017
,
2016

The expense recognized each period is partially dependent upon our estimate of the number of shares that will ultimately be issued. Future compensation expense for unvested awards could reach a maximum of
$164 million
assuming payout of all unvested awards. The unrecognized expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of
1.6
years. The fair value of performance share units vested and converted to shares of Target common stock was
$30 million
in
2017
,
$1 million
in
2016
, and
$2 million
in
2015
.
Stock Options
In May 2017 we granted price-vested stock options (price-vested options) to certain team members. The price-vested options are not exercisable during the first
three
years and will become exercisable after that time period only if Target's stock price exceeds a hurdle of
$75
for
20
consecutive trading days within the
seven
-year term of the options. Shares received upon exercise, net of exercise costs and taxes, are subject to a
one
-year post-exercise holding period. The fair value of the price-vested options was estimated using a lattice model.
Through 2013, we granted nonqualified stock options to certain team members. All are vested and currently exercisable.

At February 3, 2018, there was
$8 million
of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested price-vested options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of
2.3 years
. The weighted average remaining life of exercisable options is
3.4
years, and the weighted average remaining life of all outstanding options is

. Defined Contribution Plans
Team members who meet eligibility requirements can participate in a defined contribution 401(k) plan by investing up to
80 percent
of their eligible earnings, as limited by statute or regulation. We match
100 percent
of each team member's contribution up to
5 percent
of eligible earnings. Company match contributions are made to funds designated by the participant, none of which are based on Target common stock.
In addition, we maintain a nonqualified, unfunded deferred compensation plan for approximately
2,100
current and retired team members whose participation in our 401(k) plan is limited by statute or regulation. These team members choose from a menu of crediting rate alternatives that are generally the same as the investment choices in our 401(k) plan, but also includes a fund based on Target common stock. We credit an additional
2 percent
per year to the accounts of all active participants, excluding executive officers, in part to recognize the risks inherent to their participation in this plan. We also maintain a frozen nonqualified, unfunded deferred compensation plan covering approximately
50
participants. Our total liability under these plans was
$542 million
and
$514 million
at
February 3, 2018
and
January 28, 2017
, respectively.
We mitigate some of our risk of offering the nonqualified plans through investing in company-owned life insurance that offsets a substantial portion of our economic exposure to the returns of these plans. These investments are general corporate assets and are marked to market with the related gains and losses recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period they occur. See Note 15 for additional information.

. Pension and Postretirement Health Care Plans
Pension Plans
We have qualified defined benefit pension plans covering team members who meet age and service requirements, including date of hire in certain circumstances. Effective January 1, 2009, our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan was closed to new participants, with limited exceptions. We also have unfunded nonqualified pension plans for team members with qualified plan compensation restrictions. Eligibility for, and the level of, these benefits varies depending on each team members' date of hire, length of service and/or team member compensation.

Contributions and Estimated Future Benefit Payments
Our obligations to plan participants can be met over time through a combination of company contributions to these plans and earnings on plan assets. We are not required to make any contributions to our qualified defined benefit pension plans in 2018. However, depending on investment performance and plan funded status, we may elect to make a contribution.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07,
Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715)
, which requires employers to disaggregate and present separately the current service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost within the Consolidated Statement of Operations. We plan to adopt the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. We expect to reclassify the other components of net benefit cost to an Other Income and Expense line on our Consolidated Statements of Operations upon adoption.

The weighted average assumptions used to measure net periodic benefit expense each year are the rates as of the beginning of the year (i.e., the prior measurement date). Based on a stable asset allocation, our most recent compound annual rate of return on qualified plans' assets was
7.9 percent
,
6.8 percent
,
9.3 percent
, and
7.8 percent
for the
5
-year,
10
-year,
15
-year, and
20
-year time periods, respectively.
The market-related value of plan assets, which is used in calculating expected return on assets in net periodic benefit cost, is determined each year by adjusting the previous year's value by expected return, benefit payments, and cash contributions. The market-related value is adjusted for asset gains and losses in equal
20 percent
adjustments over a
five
-year period.
We review the expected long-term rate of return annually and revise it as appropriate. Additionally, we monitor the mix of investments in our portfolio to ensure alignment with our long-term strategy to manage pension cost and reduce volatility in our assets. Our 2017 expected annualized long-term rate of return assumptions were
7.5 percent
for domestic equity securities,
8.0 percent
for international equity securities,
4.7 percent
for long-duration debt securities,
8.0 percent
for balanced funds, and
9.0 percent
for other investments. These estimates are a judgmental matter in which we consider the composition of our asset portfolio, our historical long-term investment performance, and current market conditions.

Our asset allocation policy is designed to reduce the long-term cost of funding our pension obligations. The plan invests with both passive and active investment managers depending on the investment. The plan also seeks to reduce the risk associated with adverse movements in interest rates by employing an interest rate hedging program, which may include the use of interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and other instruments.

Swap derivatives - Valuations are based on observable inputs to the valuation model (e.g., interest rates and credit spreads). Model inputs are changed only when corroborated by market data. A credit risk adjustment is made on each swap using observable market credit spreads.
Option derivatives - Valued at transaction price initially. Subsequent valuations are based on observable inputs to the valuation model (e.g., underlying investments).

Postretirement Health Care
Effective April 1, 2016, we discontinued the postretirement health care benefits that were offered to team members upon early retirement and prior to Medicare eligibility. This decision resulted in a
$58 million
reduction in the projected postretirement health care benefit obligation and a
$43 million
curtailment gain recorded in SG&A Expense during 2015. As of January 30, 2016, we extinguished the remaining benefit obligation related to this plan.

During 2017, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-02,
Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects From Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.
Under U.S. GAAP, the effects of tax law changes on deferred tax balances — including adjustments to deferred taxes originally recorded to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) — are recorded as a component of income tax expense. Adjusting deferred tax balances related to items originally recorded in AOCI through tax expense resulted in a remaining AOCI balance that was disproportionate to the amounts that would have been recorded through Net Earnings in future periods. The new standard allowed us to reclassify
$117 million
of disproportionate (or stranded) amounts related to the Tax Act to Retained Earnings.

. Segment Reporting
Our segment measure of profit (segment earnings before income tax expense and income taxes) is used by management to evaluate performance and make operating decisions. Effective January 15, 2015, following the deconsolidation of our former Canadian retail operation, we have been operating as a single segment that includes all of our continuing operations, which are designed to enable guests to purchase products seamlessly in stores or through our digital channels. Virtually all of our consolidated revenues are generated in the United States. The vast majority of our properties and equipment are located within the United States.

Due to the seasonal nature of our business, fourth quarter operating results typically represent a substantially larger share of total year revenues and earnings because they include the November and December holiday sales period. We follow the same accounting policies for preparing quarterly and annual financial data. The table below summarizes quarterly results for
