In a nutshell Lessee accounting model Balance sheet Income Statement Cash flow statement Assets and liabilities Impact on gearing Recognise lease assets and liabilities on balance sheet. Initially measured at the present value of unavoidable lease payments. EBITDA Profit profile (lower in earlier years of lease) Operating cash inflows Financing cash outflows Repayment of principal: finance activities Repayment of interest: finance or operating activities (depends on accounting policy for interest). Some variable payments, payments from short-term leases and from assets of low value: operating activities

Identifying a lease A decision tree Fulfilment of the contract depends on the use of an identified asset The contract conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset Identified asset? Yes Substantially all economic benefits? Yes How and for what purpose predetermined? No No Customer can operate the asset without the supplier having the right to change operating instructions? Or Customer designed asset to predetermine how and for what purpose the asset is used? Yes No Customer has right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use? Yes No Yes No Lease Not a lease Lease Not a lease 5
Measurement Initial measurement Cost of right-of-use asset Payments made less incentives received before commencement date Measurement of lease liability Payments made less incentives receivable after commencement date Discounted at: Rate implicit in the lease or Incremental borrowing rate Commencement date 6
Measurement Initial measurement Penalty for terminating (if reasonably certain) Expected residual value guarantee Estimated cost for dismantling restoring asset Fixed payments less incentives Exercise price of purchase option (reasonably certain) Variable payments (e.g. CPI/rate) Payments less incentives before commencement date Initial direct costs lease liability NPV = Lease liability Right-of-use asset 7
Recognition Exemptions Accounting policy choice: Apply IFRS 16 or straight-line the expense (if applying the exemption: Apply IAS 37 to assess onerous contracts) Short-term leases (12 months or less) Low-value leases A lease that contains a purchase option is not a short-term lease Assessment on an absolute basis Election by class of underlying asset Election on a lease-by-lease basis 8
Measurement Lessee: modifications Account for lease modification as a separate lease Account for lease modification by remeasuring the lease liability using the discount rate at that date Original lease Modification Modification increases scope Modification decreases scope Only when: Modification increases scope; and Consideration is commensurate to stand-alone price for increase in scope Corresponding adjustment to right-of-use asset Decrease right-of-use asset to reflect partial termination and gain/loss to reflect the decrease in scope 9

Yes Sale of the asset? (performance obligation under IFRS 15) No Seller-lessee Buyer-lessor Seller-lessee Buyer-lessor Derecognise asset Recognise right-ofuse asset (proportion of previous carrying amount) Recognise lease liability Gain/loss on sale of rights transferred Recognise purchase of asset Apply lessor accounting Continue to recognise asset Recognise financial liability (IAS 39 / IFRS 9) Don t recognise asset Recognise financial asset (IAS 39 / IFRS 9) 10
Subleases Intermediate lessor accounting Head lease Sublease Head lease: IFRS 16 lessee model Right-of-use asset and lease liability Sublease: IFRS 16 lessor model Whether finance or operating lease determined whether reference to right of use asset, not underlying asset 11
