Leases

At the inception of a contract, an entity should determine whether the contract contains a lease. Topic 842 defines a lease as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of an identified asset means that the customer has both (1) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (2) the right to direct the use of the asset.

German American has finance leases for branch offices as well as operating leases for branch offices, ATM locations and certain office equipment. The right-of-use asset is included in the ‘Premises, Furniture and Equipment, Net’ line of the consolidated balance sheet. The lease liability is included in the ‘Accrued Interest Payable and Other Liabilities’ line of the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company used the implicit lease rate when determining the present value of lease payments for finance leases. The present value of lease payments for operating leases was determined using the incremental borrowing rate as of the date the Company adopted this standard.

The components of lease expense were as follows:

	December 31, 2021		December 31, 2020
Finance Lease Cost:
Amortization of Right-of-Use Assets	$	210	$	210
Interest on Lease Liabilities	345		363
Operating Lease Cost	1,423		1,781
Short-term Lease Cost	80		34
Total Lease Cost	$	2,058	$	2,388

The weighted average lease term and discount rates were as follows:

	December 31, 2021		December 31, 2020
Weighted Average Remaining Lease Term:
Finance Leases	10 years		11 years
Operating Leases	7 years		8 years
