facility lease expense as a percentage of revenues is also affected by the number of theatres under operating leases , the number of theatres under capital and finance leases and the number of owned theatres . 25 utilities and other costs include both fixed and variable costs and primarily consist of utilities , expenses for projection and sound equipment maintenance and monitoring , property taxes , janitorial costs , repairs , maintenance and security services . general and administrative expenses are primarily fixed in nature and consist of the costs to support the overall management of the company , including salaries and wages , incentive compensation and benefit costs for our corporate office personnel , facility expenses for our corporate offices , consulting fees , legal fees , audit fees , supplies and other costs that are not specifically associated with the operations of our theatres . critical accounting policies we prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the u.s. , or u.s. gaap . as such , we are required to make certain estimates and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available . these estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented . the significant accounting policies , which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported consolidated financial results , include the following : revenue and expense recognition our patrons often have the option to purchase movie tickets well in advance of a movie showtime or right before the movie showtime , or at any point in between those two timeframes depending on seat availability . we recognize such admissions revenues when the showtime for a purchased movie ticket has passed . concession revenues are recognized when sales are made at the registers . other revenues primarily consist of screen advertising and other revenue streams , such as transactional fees , vendor marketing promotions , studio trailer placements , meeting rentals and electronic video games located in some of our theatres . screen advertising revenues are recognized over the period that the related advertising is delivered on-screen or in-theatre . we sell gift cards and discount ticket vouchers , the proceeds from which are recorded as current liabilities . revenues for gift cards and discount ticket vouchers are recognized when they are redeemed for movie tickets or concession items . we offer a subscription program in the u.s. whereby patrons can pay a monthly fee to receive a monthly credit for use towards a future movie ticket purchase . we record the monthly subscription program fees as current liabilities and record admissions revenues as the credits are redeemed for movie tickets . we also have loyalty programs in many of our locations that either have a prepaid annual membership fee or award points to customers as purchases are made . for those loyalty programs that have an annual membership fee , we recognize the fee collected as other revenues over the term of the membership . for those loyalty programs that award points to customers based on their purchases , we record a portion of the original transaction proceeds as liabilities based on the number of reward points issued to the customer and recognize revenues when the customer redeems such points . in may 2014 , the financial accounting standards board ( “ fasb ” ) issued accounting standards update ( “ asu ” ) 2014-09 , revenue from contracts with customers ( topic 606 ) , ( “ asc topic 606 ” ) , which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers . asc topic 606 replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance in u.s. generally accepted accounting principles . in addition , the standard requires disclosure of the nature , amount , timing , and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the contracts with customers . we adopted asc topic 606 effective january 1 , 2018 under the modified retrospective method . 26 changes to the way in which we recognize revenue resulted in the following impacts to our consolidated statements of income : a ) recording of incremental other revenue and interest expense related to the significant financing component of our exhibitor services agreement ( “ esa ” ) with ncm , llc ( “ ncm ” ) . see further discussion at note 3 to the consolidated financial statements . b ) deferral of a portion of admissions and concession revenues for transactions that include the issuance of loyalty points to customers . to determine the amount of revenues to defer upon issuance of points to customers under our points-based loyalty programs , we estimated the values of the rewards expected to be redeemed by our customers for those points . the estimates are based on the rewards that have historically been offered under the loyalty programs , which we believe is representative of the rewards to be offered in the future . c ) increase in other revenues and an increase in utilities and other costs due to the presentation of transactional fees on a gross versus net basis . d ) increase in other revenues due to the change in amortization methodology for deferred revenue – ncm that is now amortized on a straight-line basis and effective for the entire term of the esa . the deferred revenue – ncm is related to our esa and common unit adjustment agreement with ncm , under which our performance obligation is to provide ncm with exclusive access to its domestic theatres for purposes of in-theatre advertising over the term of the esa . such exclusivity , and therefore the satisfaction of our performance obligation , is provided to ncm evenly over time . story_separator_special_tag 30 impact of recent accounting developments impact of new revenue recognition standard in may 2014 , the fasb issued asu 2014-09 , revenue from contracts with customers ( topic 606 ) , ( “ asc topic 606 ” ) , which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers . asc topic 606 replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance in u.s. generally accepted accounting principles . in addition , the standard requires disclosure of the nature , amount , timing , and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the contracts with customers . impact of new lease accounting standard in february 2016 , the fasb issued asu 2016-02 , leases ( topic 842 ) , ( “ asu 2016-02 ” ) . the purpose of asu 2016-02 is to provide financial statement users a better understanding of the amount , timing , and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases . the adoption of asu 2016-02 will result in the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for most operating leases . new disclosure requirements include qualitative and quantitative information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements related to leases . asu 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after december 15 , 2018. asu 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective transition by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the earliest period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients . in july 2018 , the fasb issued asu 2018-10 , codification improvements to topic 842 , leases ( “ asu 2018-10 ” ) . in july 2018 , the fasb issued asu 2018-11 , leases ( topic 842 ) , targeted improvements ( “ asu 2018-11 ” ) . asu 2018-11 provides an additional transition method to adopt asu 2016-02. under this new transition method , an entity initially applies asu 2016-02 at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption . this additional transition method changes only when an entity is required to initially apply the transition requirements outlined in asu 2016-02 ; it does not change how those requirements are applied . we used the transition method outlined in asu 2018-11 upon adoption . we adopted asc topic 842 and the related amendments in asu 2016-02 and asu 2018-11 ( collectively referred to herein as “ the new leasing standard ” ) effective january 1 , 2019. we are finalizing its evaluation of the impact of the new leasing standard on our consolidated financial statements , and expect the most significant impacts to be as follows : 1. we will recognize liabilities representing the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments for all of our operating leases as of january 1 , 2019. we estimate these liabilities will be between $ 1.4 billion and $ 1.7 billion . 2. we will recognize right of use assets for all of our operating leases equal to the liabilities calculated in ( 1 ) above , adjusted for the balances of long-term prepaid rent , favorable lease intangible assets , deferred lease expense , unfavorable lease liabilities and deferred lease incentive liabilities as of january 1 , 2019 . 3. we have theatre leases in which we were involved in construction that failed sale-leaseback accounting at the end of the construction period . these leases , which were accounted for as capital leases , will be derecognized upon adoption of the new leasing standard and evaluated to determine classification upon adoption . some of these leases will be classified as operating leases upon adoption and , beginning in 2019 , lease payments for these leases will be recorded as facility lease expense on the consolidated income statement . previously , as capital leases , lease payments were classified as interest expense and reductions of the capital lease obligations . 4. for the capital leases derecognized as discussed in ( 3 ) above , we will write-off the net book value of the capital lease asset and capital lease liability , with the difference between those amounts resulting in an adjustment to beginning retained earnings as of january 1 , 2019. recent developments on february 22 , 2019 , our board of directors approved a cash dividend for the fourth quarter of 2018 of $ 0.34 per share of common stock is payable to stockholders of record on march 8 , 2019 , and will be paid on march 22 , 2019 . 31 results of operations the following
