LEASES

Impact of the Adoption of Topic 842

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842, using the alternative transition method under ASU 2018-11, which permits application of the new guidance at the beginning of the period of adoption, with comparative periods continuing to be reported under Topic 840. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient package outlined in the transition guidance which, among other things, allows for the carryforward of historical lease classifications. In addition, the Company elected to separately account for non-lease and associated lease components and apply the short-term lease exception, whereby the Company does not recognize a right-of-use asset or lease liability for leases with an initial term of twelve months or less.

Upon adoption, the Company recognized operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of $27.1 million and $29.5 million, respectively. In addition, the Company recognized the remaining deferred gain of $8.7 million associated with the sale-leaseback transactions that the Company entered into in July 2008 for its Elgin, Illinois and University Park, Illinois plant locations, net of the related deferred tax asset of $2.2 million, as a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the January 1, 2019 adoption date. Prior to the adoption of Topic 842, the deferred gain, which initially totaled $29.0 million, had been amortized through the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the 15-year life of the respective leases. Effective in 2019, approximately $1.9 million of the deferred gain, which had been recognized each year since 2008, will no longer be recognized through the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other than the aforementioned elimination of the deferred gain recognition, the adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows. Further, the adoption of Topic 842 did not have an impact on the Company’s liquidity or debt-covenant compliance under its current arrangements.

Description of Leases

The Company leases certain facilities within the U.S., Europe and Canada from which the Company provides sales, service and/or equipment rentals, some of which contain options to renew. In addition, eight of the Company’s 14 principal manufacturing plants are leased. The Company also leases vehicles and various other equipment. The Company’s lease agreements may contain lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately.

In connection with the 2016 acquisition of substantially all of the assets and operations of Joe Johnson Equipment, Inc. and Joe Johnson Equipment (USA), Inc. (collectively, “JJE”), the Company entered into lease agreements for two facilities owned by affiliates of the sellers of JJE. Both agreements include an annual rent that is considered market-based, and were for an initial lease term of five years, with options to renew. The total lease liability under these agreements to the former shareholders of JJE, some of whom are now employees of the Company, was $0.6 million as of June 30, 2019.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental collateralized borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Implicit rates are used when readily determinable. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term.
