Leases

LCNB has operating leases for its Otterbein, Fairfield, Barron Street , and Worthington offices, for the land at its Oxford and Oakwood offices, and for certain office equipment. The Oakwood lease has a remaining term of about seventeen years with options to renew for six additional periods of five years each. The Oxford lease has a remaining term of forty-one years with no renewal options. The other leases have remaining terms of less than one year up to six years, some of which contain options to renew the leases for additional five-year periods.

Right-of-use assets represent LCNB's right to use the underlying assets for their lease terms and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments. They are recognized using the present value of lease payments over the lease terms. The discount rate is LCNB's incremental borrowing rate for periods similar to the respective lease terms. LCNB management is reasonably certain that it will exercise the renewal options for the offices named above and these additional terms have been included in the calculation of the right-of-use assets and the lease liabilities. The lease for the Fairfield office is for a period of one year and LCNB management has elected the short-term measurement and recognition exception permitted by ASC 842 and has not calculated a right-of-use asset or lease liability for this office.
