Leases

We lease certain facilities, land, vehicles, and equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (“short-term leases”) are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Operating lease right of use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. We determine if an arrangement is classified as a lease at inception of the arrangement. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, on a quarterly basis, we use our incremental borrowing rate, together with the lease term information available at commencement date of the lease, in determining the present value of lease payments. For certain equipment leases, such as copiers and vehicles, we account for the leases under a portfolio method. Operating lease payments include related options to extend or terminate lease terms that are reasonably certain of being exercised.

Upon emergence from bankruptcy on December 13, 2019, our lease liabilities were remeasured to fair value using the present value of the remaining lease payments as if we acquired new leases. The remeasurement was based on our incremental borrowing rate as of December 13, 2019. Additionally, the ROU assets were revalued based upon the present value of market-based rent. The remeasurement of our ROU assets was based on the market discount rate as of December 13, 2019.

We lease certain facilities, land, vehicles, and equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (“short-term leases”) are not recorded on the balance sheet (including short-term sale leaseback transactions); we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We have data center lease agreements with lease and non-lease components which are accounted for separately, while for the remainder of our agreements we have elected the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. For certain equipment leases, such as copiers and vehicles, we account for the leases under a portfolio method. Operating lease payments include related options to extend or terminate lease terms that are reasonably certain of being exercised.

The unmanned equipment that we lease to customers under operating leases consists primarily of drilling rental tools and artificial lift pumping equipment. These equipment rental revenues are generally provided based on call-out work orders that include fixed per unit prices and are derived from short-term contracts. See “Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and “Note 5 – Revenues” for additional details on our equipment rental revenues.
