Note 12—Leases

We lease administrative and operational facilities, which are generally longer-term, project specific facilities or yards, and construction equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. Operating leases are included in “Operating lease assets”, “Accrued liabilities”, and “Noncurrent operating lease liabilities, net of current portion” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We also made an accounting policy election in which leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and lease payments are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. In determining our lease term, we include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. For our leases that do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date to determine the present value of future payments. Lease expense from minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Our leases have remaining lease terms that expire at various dates through 2034, some of which may include options to extend the leases for up to 5 years. The exercise of lease extensions is at our sole discretion. Periodically, we sublease excess facility space, but any sublease income is generally not significant. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
