A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The Company’s leases are comprised of real estate property for branches, ATM locations and office space with terms extending through 2050. The majority of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases, which are required to be recognized on the consolidated statements of financial condition as a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a corresponding lease liability. The Company has one existing finance lease, which has a lease term through 2029.

The following table represents the classification of the Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition (in thousands):


		September 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Lease ROU Assets	Classification
Operating lease ROU asset	Other assets	$	24,843	$	18,682
Finance lease ROU asset	Premises and equipment, net	1,744		1,534
Total Lease ROU Asset		$	26,587	$	20,216

Lease Liabilities
Operating lease liability	Other liabilities	$	25,232	$	18,893
Finance lease liability	Other borrowings	2,145		1,953
Total Lease Liability		$	27,377	$	20,846

The calculated amount of the ROU assets and lease liabilities are impacted by the lease term and the discount rate used to calculate the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease agreements often include one or more options to renew the lease at the Company’s discretion. If the exercise of a renewal option is considered to be reasonably certain, the Company includes the extended term in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. For the discount rate, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease, provided the rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, at lease inception, over a similar term. For operating leases existing prior to January 1, 2019, the Company used the incremental borrowing rate for the remaining lease term as of January 1, 2019. For the finance lease, the Company utilized its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception.
