Leases

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2019

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in other assets, other current liabilities, and pension and other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not have any finance leases at September 30, 2019.

Operating lease right-of-use assets ("ROU assets") represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of minimum fixed lease payments over the lease term. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. ROU assets also include prepaid lease payments made prior to commencement of the lease plus initial capitalized direct costs and exclude tenant improvement allowances. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense for minimum fixed lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exemption in accordance with guidance, and therefore, short-term leases (leases with a term of twelve months or less) are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company has only a small number of leases that qualify for the exemption and the amount of its remaining short-term lease commitments is not significant.

Most of the Company’s operating leases are for buildings, warehouses and office space. These leases have remaining lease terms of approximately one year to ten years.
