In February 2016, and in subsequent updates, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases (“ASC Topic 842”). Under ASC Topic 842, a lessee recognizes a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) in the statement of financial position at the commencement date. ASC Topic 842 was effective for and adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2019. The Company adopted ASC Topic 842 using the modified retrospective transition method applied to all existing leases beginning January 1, 2019. Periods prior to adoption were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with historic accounting guidance under ASC Topic 840. The Company elected the optional practical expedient package which, among other things, includes retaining the historical classification of leases. The adoption of ASC Topic
842 resulted in the recognition on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of January 1, 2019 of right-of-use assets of $81.2 million and lease liabilities for operating leases of $97.7 million, but did not result in a cumulative-effect adjustment on retained earnings. The operating lease right-of-use asset includes the impact upon adoption of ASC Topic 842 of the derecognition of lease incentives, deferred rent, below-market lease intangibles, cease-use liabilities and prepaid rent balances recognized in prepaid expenses and other current assets and current and noncurrent other accruals on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018. The adoption of ASC Topic 842 did not have and is not expected to have a material impact to the Company's consolidated results of operations or cash flows. See Note 7, Commitments and Contingencies, for additional details.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of a contract. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Non-lease components associated with lease components in the Company’s lease contracts are treated as a single lease component. As of March 31, 2019, the Company recognized on its condensed consolidated balance sheets operating lease right-of-use assets of $78.7 million that represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and current and noncurrent operating lease liabilities of $13.4 million and $82.4 million, respectively, that represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities commencing after January 1, 2019 are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Because the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Company uses information including the risk-free interest rate for the remaining lease term, the Company’s implied credit rating and interest rates of similar debt instruments of entities with comparable credit ratings. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, which is allocated on a headcount basis to operations and support, sales and marketing, technology and general and administrative costs and expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The table above does not reflect the Company’s option to exercise early termination rights or the payment of related early termination fees. Additionally, as of March 31, 2019, the Company had future obligations for office facilities of approximately $27 million that have not yet commenced, and as such, have not been recognized on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets or included in the table above. This operating lease, with an eleven year term, is expected to commence in 2019.

On September 13, 2018, the Company acquired SCVNGR, Inc. d/b/a LevelUp (“LevelUp”), a leading provider of mobile diner engagement and payment solutions for national and regional restaurant brands.

As part of our interim review for indicators of impairment, management analyzed potential changes in value based on operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to expected results. Management also considered how our market capitalization, business growth and other factors used in the September 30, 2018 impairment analysis, could be impacted by changes in market conditions and economic events. For example, the fair market value of our common stock as of March 31, 2019 decreased relative to its price as of September 30, 2018. Management considered these trends in performing its assessment of whether an interim impairment review was required. Based on this interim assessment, management concluded that as of March 31, 2019, there were no events or changes in circumstances that indicated it was more likely than not that our fair value was below our carrying value. Nevertheless, significant changes in global economic and market conditions could result in changes to expectations of future financial results and key valuation assumptions. Such changes could result in revisions of management’s estimates of our fair value and could result in a material impairment of goodwill.
