Leases

We adopted ASU 2016-02 using the modified retrospective approach with an effective date as of January 1, 2019. Prior year financial statements were not recast under the new standard and, therefore, those amounts are not presented below. We elected the package of transition provisions available for expired or existing contracts, which allowed us to carryforward our historical assessments of (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. The Company also elected the practical expedient on not separating lease components from nonlease components for all operating leases. Additionally, the Company has elected to not apply ASU 2016-02 to short-term leases. Short-term leases are those leases that, at the lease commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.

The Company has lease agreements for land and office facilities that it occupies to operate several of its retail branch locations, as well as one storage facility, that are classified as operating leases and are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities. Most of these leases contain options to extend the duration of the leases at management's discretion. Management has recognized these renewal options as part of its ROU asset and lease liabilities when management is reasonably certain to exercise these options. Whether or not management is reasonably certain to exercise such an option is determined based on facts and circumstances for each individual lease. However, if a renewal option is offered at below market terms, management considers the exercise of that option to be reasonably certain for the purposes of calculating its ROU assets and lease liabilities. None of the Company's leases include residual value guarantees, and there are no restrictions or covenants imposed by these leases that impose significant additional financial obligations on the Company. The Company uses the rate implicit in each lease as the discount rate to determine the lease liability, which is the present value of lease payments not yet paid at the lease commencement date. If the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable, which is often the case, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate that the Company would have incurred to borrow the funds necessary to purchase the leased asset over a similar term.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company has operating lease ROU assets of $14.3 million and operating lease liabilities of $14.2 million. The Company does not have any agreements that are classified as finance leases.
