Lessee, Operating Lease, Disclosure

Leases.  The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition approach whereby comparative periods were not restated.  The Company also elected certain relief options under the ASU, including the option not to recognize right of use asset and lease liabilities that arise

from short-term leases (leases with terms of twelve months or less).   Adoption of this ASU resulted in the Company initially recognizing a right of use asset and corresponding lease liability of $9.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019.  The amount of the right of use asset and corresponding lease liability will fluctuate based on the Company’s lease terminations, new leases and lease modifications and renewals. As of September 30, 2020, the lease right to use asset value was $8.8 million and the corresponding lease liability was $8.9 million.

 

All of our leases are classified as operating leases (as they were prior to January 1, 2019), and therefore were previously not recognized on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition.  With the adoption of ASU 2016-02, these operating leases are now included as a right of use asset in the premises and equipment line item on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition.  The corresponding lease liability is included in the accrued expenses and other liabilities line item on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition.  Because these leases are classified as operating leases, the adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on lease expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

 

ASU 2016-02 provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company has elected the “package of practical expedients,” which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard the prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company also elected the use of the hindsight, a practical expedient which permits the use of information available after lease inception to determine the lease term via the knowledge of renewal options exercised not available as of the lease’s inception.  The practical expedient pertaining to land easements is not applicable to the Company.  

 

ASU 2016-02 also requires certain other accounting elections.  The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify, meaning those with terms under twelve months.  Right of use assets or lease liabilities are not to be recognized for short-term leases. The Company also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all leases.   The Company’s short-term leases related to offsite ATMs have both fixed and variable lease payment components, based on the number of transactions at the various ATMs.  The variable portion of these lease payments is not material and the total lease expense related to ATMs for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $76,000 and $71,000, respectively. The total lease expense related to ATMs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, was $202,000 and $221,000, respectively.

 

The calculated amounts of the right of use assets and lease liabilities in the table below 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 the extended term in the calculation of the right of use asset and lease liability. Regarding the discount rate, the ASU requires the use of the rate implicit in the lease 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 right of use asset and lease liability.  Regarding the discount rate, the ASU 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 over a similar term. The discount rate utilized was the FHLBank borrowing rate for the term corresponding to the expected term of the lease.  The remaining expected lease terms range from 2.8 years to 18.4 years with a weighted-average lease term of 9.5 years.  The weighted-average discount rate was 3.24%.
