Balance sheets will be more cash-rich but also more heavily indebted, impacting gearing ratios. Significant impact on financial ratios For companies with material off balance sheet leases, IFRS 16 will significantly affect the balance sheet (by increasing lease assets and financial liabilities), the income statement (higher profits before interest) and the cash flow statement (increase in Why is this important? cash flow from operating activities and decrease in cash flow • Most companies lease assets – IFRS 16 will impact companies from financing activities).

The IASB observed that over 14,000 listed companies disclose information about off balance sheet leases (operating leases) in their latest annual reports.

Lessees face major changes IFRS 16 eliminates the lease classification as either operating leases or finance leases for a lessee. Compa- nies with operating leases will appear to be more asset-rich, but also more heavily indebted. Total lease expense will be front-loaded even when cash rentals are constant. Balance sheet Asset = ‘Right-of-use’ of underlying asset Liability = Obligation to make lease payments P&L Lease expense Depreciation + Interest = Front-loaded total lease expense Under IAS 17, an arrangement can be a lease if a customer obtains substantially all of the output or other utility even if the customer does not control the asset. Under IFRS 16, a lease can only exist if the customer has both the right to control the use of the identified asset and obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset. Change in lease definition The new standard determines whether a contract contains a lease, based on whether the customer has the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time. This new definition may exclude certain service contracts from the definition of a lease. Amounts related to services do not have to be reported on the balance sheet. Whether a contract contains a lease determines whether the arrangement is recognized as on- or off-balance sheet (as a service contract). Although the lease definition seems consistent with current guidance, IFRS 16 contains additional application guidance and illustrative examples on how to apply the definition which differ from current practice. Under IFRS 16, it is also necessary to consider whether the lessee has control over the use of the identified asset. Accordingly, the arrangement would only be a lease if the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset.

    Deloitte Insights IFRS 16: Leases and the Impact on Credit institutions IFRS 16 | Leases and the impact on Credit institutions 02 IFRS 16 | Leases and the impact on Credit institutions Introduction Leasing is an important financing activity for both corporate and credit institutions with the majority of leased assets not reported on their balance sheet. IAS 17 “Leases”, the previous leasing standard, categorised leases as either ‘finance leases’, which were reported on the balance sheet, or ‘operating leases’, which were only recognised in the income statement as a straight line expense with the outstanding commitment disclosed in the Notes to the financial statements. The classification in each of the two categories was driven by the exposure of the entity to the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of the asset: • Finance Lease – the lease was economically similar to purchasing the underlying asset. This resulted in the entity recognising an asset and a corresponding liability on balance sheet. • Operating Lease – the lease was a contract that allowed for the use of an asset but did not convey rights of ownership of the asset. This represented an off-balance sheet financing of assets, and thus a leased asset and associated liabilities of future rent payments were not included on the balance sheet. The lease payments were recognised on straight line basis over the lease term. This distinction made it difficult for investors to compare companies. There was criticism from investors that reported balance sheets provide a misleading picture about leverage and leased assets used. Investors (and others stakeholders) had to estimate the effects of a company’s off balance sheet lease obligations, based on lease commitments for operating leases disclosed in the notes of the financial statements, which in practice often led to overestimating the liabilities arising from those obligations.
