  • Who Is Most Impacted by the New Lease Accounting Standards?
    Who is Most Impacted by the New Lease Accounting Standards? An Analysis of the Fortune 500’s Leasing Obligations What Do Corporations Lease? Many companies lease (rather than buy) much of the equipment and real estate they use to run their business. Many of the office buildings, warehouses, retail stores or manufacturing plants companies run their operations from are leased. Many of the forklifts, trucks, computers and data center equipment companies use to run their business is leased. Leasing has many benefits. Cash flow is one. Instead of outlaying $300,000 to buy five trucks today you can make a series of payments over the next four years to lease them. You can then deploy the cash you saved towards other investments that appreciate in value. Also, regular replacement of older technology with the latest and greatest technology increases productivity and profitability. Instead of buying a server to use in your data center for five years, you can lease the machines and get a new replacement every three years. If you can return the equipment on time, you are effectively outsourcing the monetization of the residual value in the equipment to an expert third-party, the leasing company. Another benefit of leasing is the accounting, specifically the way the leases are reported on financial statements such as annual reports (10-Ks). Today, under the current ASC 840 standard, leases are classified as capital leases or operating leases. Capital leases are reported on the balance sheet. Operating leases are disclosed in the footnotes of your financial statements as “off balance sheet” operating expenses and excluded from important financial ratios such as Return on Assets that investors use to judge a company’s performance.

  • 2019 Annual Report
    2019 Annual Report BRINGING COMMUNITIES HOPE A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN For 138 years, the American Red Cross has served as a beacon of hope to people facing disasters and other emergencies. It’s an honor to be able to help millions of people each year during their time of greatest need, but nothing we do would be possible without the dedication and commitment of our volunteers, donors, partners and employees who work tirelessly—day after day and year after year. We are deeply grateful for your support. Whether installing smoke alarms in vulnerable neighborhoods, responding to the significant damage brought about by storms such as Hurricanes Florence and Michael, or delivering food and relief items in the aftermath of deadly wildfires in California, in fiscal year 2019, Red Crossers were there to provide safe shelter … mental and spiritual support … hugs … and hope. In addition to our domestic disaster response efforts, internationally, the American Red Cross also responds to disasters and crises around the world, including last year’s destructive wildfires in Greece, deadly cyclones in Mozambique, drought and flash flooding in Afghanistan, and the ongoing global migration crisis. And we remain active internationally with disaster preparedness and disease prevention initiatives, including leading a successful measles and rubella vaccination campaign in Kenya. Since its inception in 2001, the Measles & Rubella Initiative has helped to save more than 21 million lives around the world through vaccinations. Of course, last year our humanitarian organization also trained millions of people in first aid, CPR and AED skills, and provided about 40 percent of our nation’s blood supply.
