LEASES

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2019

We evaluate whether our contractual arrangements contain leases at the inception of such arrangements. Specifically, we consider whether we can control the underlying asset and have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits or outputs from the asset. Substantially all of our leases are long-term operating leases with fixed payment terms. We do not have significant financing leases. Our right-of-use (ROU) operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and our operating lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments. ROU operating lease assets are recorded in other noncurrent assets in our consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease liabilities are recorded in other current liabilities or other noncurrent liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet based on their contractual due dates.

Both the ROU operating lease asset and liability are recognized as of the lease commencement date at the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate that can readily be determined. Therefore, we use a discount rate based on our incremental borrowing rate, which is determined using our credit rating and information available as of the commencement date. ROU operating lease assets include lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date and exclude lease incentives.

Our operating lease agreements may include options to extend the lease term or terminate it early. We include options to extend or terminate leases in the ROU operating lease asset and liability when it is reasonably certain we will exercise these options. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in cost of sales on our consolidated statement of earnings.

We have operating lease arrangements with lease and non-lease components. The non-lease components in our arrangements are not significant when compared to the lease components. For all operating leases, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single component. Additionally, for certain equipment leases, we apply a portfolio approach to recognize operating lease ROU assets and liabilities. We evaluate ROU assets for impairment consistent with our property, plant and equipment policy disclosure included in our 2018 Form 10‑K.

Generally, we enter into operating lease agreements for facilities, land and equipment. Our ROU operating lease assets were $971 million at June 30, 2019. Operating lease liabilities were $1.1 billion, of which $815 million were classified as noncurrent, at June 30, 2019. New ROU operating lease assets and liabilities entered into during the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $68 million. The weighted average remaining lease term and discount rate for our operating leases were approximately 9.0 years and 3.4% at June 30, 2019.

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized operating lease expense of $61 million and $120 million. During the quarter and six months ended June 24, 2018, we recognized operating lease expense of $60 million and $120 million. In addition, we made cash payments of $115 million for operating leases during the six months ended June 30, 2019, which are included in cash flows from operating activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows.
