Transition: Effective Dates Effective dates for public companies Fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods i.e., calendar 2019 Effective dates for private companies Fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 i.e., calendar 2020 Modified retrospective application Must apply new standard as of beginning of earliest comparable period
Transition: Practical Expedients You may be able to elect practical expedients to ease burden of adoption No need to reassess whether expired or existing contracts are or contain leases No need to reassess lease classification for any expired or existing leases No need to reassess initial direct costs for existing leases May use hindsight in determining lease term
Possible Implementation Challenges POSSIBLE CHALLENGES Systems Operations Financial Reporting Lessees with significant lease portfolio may need to evaluate current system and evaluate whether it can capture relevant data for new standard Compliance with debt covenants and other contracts May affect lease vs. buy decisions System change may require change to internal controls Increased use of management judgment Deferred taxes may be affected New disclosure requirements
Implementation Next Steps 1 Inventory all existing lease contracts - Aggregate similar leases to avoid redundant analyses - Identify short term leases that will not be capitalized 2 Assess implementation challenges and options - Existence of substantive substitution rights - Choice of discount rate - Determination of lease term - Practical expedients 3 Estimate impact implementation will have on financial statements, key ratios and metrics - Evaluate impact changes will have on other contracts, e.g., loan agreements, management compensation - If necessary develop plan to mitigate impact on other contracts
