Leases [Abstract]  
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards, Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability for all outstanding leases excluding short-term leases. The liability is equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments. The ROU asset is based on the liability, subject to certain adjustments (e.g., initial direct costs, payments made by the lessee prior to lease commencement and any lessor incentives). For income statement purposes, lessees are required to classify leases as either operating or finance leases. Operating leases result in straight-line expense while finance leases result in a front-loaded expense pattern. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged but has been updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard.
Topic 842 was subsequently amended to provide practical expedient for transition and targeted improvements to the new lease standard. The FASB issued in March 2019, ASU 2019-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements” to clarify certain transition disclosure requirements. The Company adopted the new lease standard as of January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective transition method and applying the new standard to all leases through a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the period of adoption. In our first annual period after adoption, the year ending December 31, 2019, the comparative periods will not be restated and will be presented under legacy lease accounting guidance in effect for those periods, Topic 840.
The new standard provides a number of practical expedients specific to transition. We have elected the “package of practical expedients”, which permits us not to reassess (1) whether any expired or existing arrangements are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date.
The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting, including a practical expedient which allows lessees and lessors to elect to not separate lease and non-lease components. We have elected the practical expedient available for lessees to not separate lease and non-lease components for all asset classes other than vessels, which typically include significant non-lease components. We have elected the practical expedient available for lessors to not separate lease and non-lease components for vessels. The Company also elected not to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for short-term leases, which 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. Lease cost of short-term leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and disclosed within our financial statements. We believe short-term lease commitments are not materially different than the short-term lease cost for the period.
Adoption of the new lease accounting guidance had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets but did not have a material impact on our consolidated income statements. We recognized on January 1, 2019, (1) a lease liability of approximately $1,189.6 million which represents the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Company’s applicable weighted average incremental borrowing rates, and (2) an ROU asset of approximately $1,115.5 million which represents the lease liability of $1,189.6 million adjusted for accrued and prepaid rent, lease incentives, and other balances. The impact was recorded as an adjustment to increase retained earnings by approximately $1.8 million.

Lessee Arrangements
We lease real estate, including land, buildings and warehouses, machinery/equipment, vessels, vehicles, and various types of manufacturing and data processing equipment, from a lessee perspective. Leases of real estate generally provide for payment of property taxes, insurance, and repairs by us. Substantially all our leases are classified as operating leases.
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception by assessing whether an identified asset exists and if we have the right to control the use of the identified asset. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets, Operating lease liabilities (current), and Operating lease liabilities (non-current) on our consolidated balance sheets. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the remaining lease payments over the lease term. With the exception of rare cases in which the implicit rate is readily determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Operating lease right-of-use assets also includes any lease prepayments made and excludes lease incentives we received from the lessor. Lease cost for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Several of our leases provide for certain guarantees of residual value. We estimate and include in the determination of lease payments any amount probable of being owed under these
residual value guarantees. At the date of adoption and June 30, 2019, we determined that there were no residual value guarantees which were probable of being owed. Our leases do not contain any material restrictive covenants.
Lease terms within our lessee arrangements may include options to extend/renew or terminate the lease and/or purchase the underlying asset when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. The Company applies a portfolio approach by asset class to determine lease term renewals. The leases within these portfolios are categorized by asset class and have initial lease terms that vary depending on the asset class. The renewal terms range from 60 days to 5 years for asset classes such as temporary residential housing, forklifts, vehicles, vessels, office and IT equipment, and tool rentals, and up to 15 years or more for commercial real estate. Short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less that do not include a purchase option are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease costs for short-term leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and amounts related to short-term leases are disclosed within our financial statements.
The Company has variable lease payments, including adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate (such as the Consumer Price Index), fair value adjustments to lease payments, and common area maintenance, real estate taxes, and insurance payments in triple-net real estate leases. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate (such as the Consumer Price Index or a market interest rate) are included when measuring consideration within our lease arrangements using the payments’ base rate or index. Variable payments that do not depend on an index or rate are recognized in profit or loss and are disclosed as ‘variable lease cost’ in the period they are incurred.
We adopted the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all asset classes except for vessels, which have significant non-lease components.
The Company currently subleases certain of its leased real estate and vessels to third parties. It is expected that most subleases will be classified as operating leases by the sublessor under GAAP.
Lessor, Leases
Leases – The majority of our leases are operating leases. We account for leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases, which we adopted on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method. Refer to Note 4 for further discussion of the adoption, including the impact on our 2019 financial statements.
Lessor Arrangements
We lease real estate including land, buildings and warehouses, machinery/equipment, and vessels from a lessor perspective. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception by assessing whether an identified asset exists and if the customer has the right to control the use of the identified asset. We use our implicit rate for our lessor arrangements. We have elected the practical expedient available for lessors to not separate lease and non-lease components for vessels. If the non-lease component is predominant in our contracts, we account for the contracts under the revenue recognition guidance in ASC 606. If the lease component is predominant in our contracts, we account for the contracts under the lease guidance in ASC 842. We estimate the amount we expect to derive from the underlying asset following the end of the lease term based on remaining economic life. Our lessor arrangements generally do not include any residual value guarantees. We recognize lessee payments of lessor costs such as taxes and insurance on a net basis when the lessee pays those costs directly to a third party or when the amount paid by the lessee is not readily determinable.
