Introduction Trillions of dollars in capital and operating lease assets will be added to balance sheets as right-to-use (ROU) assets starting with 2019 or earlier. Leasing is an important activity to finance and gain access to assets and reduce an organization s exposure to the risks of asset ownership. The current offbalance sheet accounting has been criticized for years. Finally, the accounting boards have converged on a new standard effective in 2019. This session will educate you on what this means for your company as a lessee. What are the new rules? How will US accounting differ from the rest of the world? What should my company do to prepare? 5

ASC842 Model Who is affected? 11 Any entity that enters into lease contracts except: Intangibles, oil & gas leases, biologic, inventory, nor under construction assets or, Less than 12 months term or apply capitalization threshold How do I apply the principle? Identify a lease at inception as operating or finance Identify a physical asset (can be implied) Right to control and direct the use Evaluate for embedded leases in service contracts Separate lease and non-lease components Record a right-of-use asset in PP&E at present value, plus amortization over the lease life, and a lease liability Identify the lease payments, term and interest rate
ASC842 Model specifics For Operating leases: 12 Recognize a single lease cost Calculated as interest + amortization Amortization = straight-line expense less interest for the period Allocated over the lease term on a straight-line basis Classify cash payments within operating activity cash flow For Finance leases: You will own the asset or have used the major part of the assets economic life Recognize interest on the lease liability separate from the amortization of the right-of-use asset Classify amortization within financing activities Classify interest payments within operating activity cash flow
ASC842 Key differences ASC842 (ASU2016-2) All leases added to balance sheet Operating and Finance leases are identified separately Finance lease if ownership transferred No 25%, 75%, or 90% bright lines Assess contracts for embedded leases Exclude non-lease components Contract contains a lease if asset is Controlled by lessee Physically identified Balance sheet valuation Asset and liability valued at net present value of lease payments over estimated term Operating lease is single lease expense (calculated as interest expense plus amortization) Finance lease is separate interest and amortization expenses ASC840 Current Land is considered separately Only if 25% of lease fair value Capital lease where Lease term > 75% of asset life Lease payment present value > 90% of asset fair value 13

IFRS16 Model Who is affected? 20 Any entity that enters into lease contracts except: Intangibles, oil & gas leases, biologic, inventory, nor under construction assets or, Less than 12 months term or, Low value ($5000 suggested) How do I apply the principle? Identify a lease at inception Identify a asset (can be implied) Right to control and direct the use Evaluate for embedded leases in service contracts Record a right-of-use asset in PP&E at present value, plus amortization over the lease life, and a lease liability Identify the lease payments, term and interest rate

Does lessee have control? IAS17 Current Not limited to PP&E (2-4) Land and building are considered separately (15) Unless land is immaterial (17) Finance (capital) lease where: Lease term extends over major part of asset life (10c, 21) Lease payment present value covers substantially all of asset fair value (10d) 21

Next Steps Establish a project team Who and what is their charter? Start communicating with affected stakeholders Investors, Employees, Lease Vendors Connect with FASB/IAS lease advisory groups Develop early assessment of impact on: Finance including tax impacts Processes including training Systems including new controls 32
Early Assessment Expert examination of classification changes Review existing leases for classification changes Do you have the right data to assess the new standard? Need to separate lease and non-lease components Estimate the financial effect of the change Acquisition and Liability value based on present value Amortized life based on longest life when considering renewal options What is the interest rate? Candidates for process improvement opportunities? Should you renegotiate certain operating leases? Should you eliminate inefficiency and automate hand-offs between purchasing/payables/receivables and fixed assets? How do you incorporate lease assets into the capital budget? 33
Implementation Assessment Identify who and the type of training required Business line, accountants, systems support Adapt lease management process and systems Is this process automated? What is the right system to manage lease assets? Can you use SAP s lessee simple asset lease functionality for short term? Identify the conversion method How many leases will reclassify? How many new lease assets are required? How to create new right-to-use assets and liabilities? What is the approach for transition leases? 34
