Leases

Note 15 – Leases

The Company has operating leases for office, manufacturing and research and development facilities, as well as land leases for certain manufacturing facilities that are accounted for as operating leases. We also have operating leases for office equipment and automobiles. Excluding land leases, our leases have remaining lease terms ranging from less than 1 year to 7 years and may include options to extend the lease for an additional term equal to the original term of the lease.  Land leases have remaining lease terms that range from 41 to 44 years and some which specify that the end of the lease term is at the discretion of the lessee. We do not have lease arrangements with related parties.

Accounting Policy

The Company determines whether a contractual arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. Leases that are operating in nature are recognized in operating lease right-of-use assets, current lease liabilities and non-current lease liabilities on our consolidated condensed balance sheets. While Gentherm is not currently party to any leases that qualify as financing leases, right-of-use assets and liabilities recognized from financing leases would be presented separately from the right-of-use assets and liabilities recognized from operating leases on our consolidated condensed balance sheet.

Lease liabilities are measured initially at the present value of the sum of the future minimum rental payments at the commencement date of the lease. Lease payments that will vary in the future due to changes in facts and circumstances are excluded from the calculation of rental payments, unless those variable payments are based on an index or rate. Rental payments are discounted using an incremental borrowing rate based on the Company’s credit rating, determined on a fully collateralized loan basis from information available at commencement date, and the duration of the lease term (the “reference rate”). Judgement is used to assess the importance of risk factor inputs during the computation of the Company’s credit rating. For significant leases at foreign subsidiaries denominated in U.S. Dollars, a risk premium associated with the borrower subsidiary’s country is added to the reference rate. For significant leases at foreign subsidiaries denominated in a foreign currency, the U.S. Dollar risk free rate with a duration similar to that of the lease term is subtracted from the reference rate and a corresponding foreign currency risk free rate with a duration similar to that of the lease term is added to the reference rate. Judgement is used to determine whether foreign subsidiary leases are significant.

Operating lease right-of-use assets are measured at the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for prepaid or accrued lease payments, lease incentive received, and initial direct costs incurred, as applicable. Periods covered by an option to extend the lease are initially included in the measurement of an operating lease right-of-use asset and lease liability only when it is reasonably certain we will exercise the option. Gentherm’s lease agreements do not contain residual value guarantees or impose restrictions or covenants on the Company.  

For all classes of underlying assets, the Company accounts for leases that contain separate lease and nonlease components as containing a single lease component. The Company does not recognize lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities from leases with an original lease term of 12 months or less and, instead, recognizes rent payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of income (loss). See Note 2 to our consolidated condensed financial statements for description of the impacts that resulted from the adoption of a new lease standard.
