Note 15 – Leases

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. Substantially all of the leases in which the Company is the lessee include real estate property for branches and office space with terms extending through 2043. Topic 842 requires the Company to recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and corresponding lease liability for each of its operating leases. The operating lease ROU asset was $9.1 million and $6.8 million as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively, and the operating lease liability was $9.3 million and $6.9 million as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company elected not to include short-term leases (i.e., leases with initial terms of twelve months of less), or equipment leases (deemed immaterial) on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

The calculated amount of the ROU assets and lease liabilities are impacted by the length of the lease term and the discount rate used to present value the minimum lease payments. The Company’s lease agreements often include one or more options to renew at the Company’s discretion. If at lease inception, the Company considers the exercising of a renewal option to be reasonably certain, the Company will include the extended term in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. Regarding the discount rate, Topic 842 requires the use of the rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, the Company’s lease agreements for the Levittown and Morrisville branch office locations commenced, which resulted in an increase of the ROU asset and lease liability of $1.7 million and $970 thousand, respectively.
