In connection with our adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”) during the current fiscal year, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation. In the consolidated balance sheets, financing obligations have been reclassified to current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt, excluding current portion. Also, capital lease obligations have been reclassified to accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other liabilities. In the consolidated statements of cash flows, payments on financing obligations have been reclassified to payments on long-term debt. See Notes 9 and 13 for additional information on financing obligations and leases, respectively.

The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of $452 million of operating lease assets, which included an adjustment for deferred rent, and $474 million of operating lease liabilities on our opening consolidated balance sheet. We did not subsequently remeasure any leases based on changes in assessment of the lease term due to adoption of the standard. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on our sale-leaseback transactions previously accounted for as financing obligations, nor did it have a material effect on our expense recognition pattern or, in turn, our consolidated statements of operations. The new standard does not impact our compliance with current debt covenants. As an accounting policy, we plan to separate lease and nonlease components when accounting for all leases commencing, modified or reassessed subsequent to adoption of the new standard. Additionally, we plan to elect the short-term lease exemption for all qualifying leases. We have implemented new business processes, accounting policies, systems and internal controls as part of adopting the new standard. See Note 13 for additional information on leases.

utilizing historical claims and cancellation data from CarMax customers, as well as other qualitative assumptions. This estimate is reassessed each reporting period with changes reflected in other sales and revenues on our consolidated statements of earnings and other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Profit-sharing payments by the ESP provider begin when the underlying ESPs reach a specified level of claims history. As of May 31, 2019 and February 28, 2019, a long-term contract asset of $25.7 million related to cumulative profit-sharing payments to which we expect to be entitled was included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets and the related lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. We include variable lease payments in the initial measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities only to the extent they depend on an index or rate. Changes in such indices or rates are accounted for in the period the change occurs, and do not result in the remeasurement of the ROU asset or liability. We are also responsible for payment of certain real estate taxes, insurance and other expenses on our leases. These amounts are generally considered to be variable and are not included in the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability. We generally account for non-lease components, such as maintenance, separately from lease components. For certain equipment leases, we apply a portfolio approach to account for the lease assets and liabilities.

In December 2018, we launched our new omni-channel car buying experience in the Atlanta market, and in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 used unit sales in comparable stores and the appraisal buy rate in this market continued to out-perform full company results. In June 2019, we continued this roll-out to the majority of our Florida stores and we opened our first CEC in Atlanta. In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we plan to continue the roll-out to new markets, including North Carolina and Virginia. We also plan to open two additional CECs later this year, and we anticipate that each of these CECs will eventually staff more than 300 associates. We anticipate having the new omni-channel experience available to the majority of our customers by the end of fiscal 2020.
