Sealed Air has contractual obligations as a lessor with respect to some of our automated and equipment solutions including 'free on loan' equipment and leased equipment, both sales-type and operating. The consideration in a contract that contains both lease and non-lease components is allocated based on the standalone selling price.

Our contractual obligations for operating leases can include termination and renewal options. Our contractual obligations for sales-type leases tend to have fixed terms and can include purchase options. We utilize the reasonably certain threshold criteria in determining which options our customers will exercise.

All lease payments are primarily fixed in nature and therefore captured in the lease receivable. Our lease receivable balances at December 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

	December 31,
(in millions)	2020		2019
Short-Term (12 months or less)	$	5.4	$	4.9
Long-Term	11.9		10.6
Total lease receivables (Sales-type and Operating)	$	17.3	$	15.5
