Net investment in operating leases consists primarily of lease contracts for vehicles with individuals, daily rental companies, and fleet customers with terms of 60 months or less.

Includes interest supplements and residual support payments we receive on certain leasing transactions under agreements with Ford and affiliated companies, and other vehicle acquisition costs.

Accumulated depreciation at March 31, 2020 includes a $70 million increase due to potential estimated higher customer default rates from economic conditions attributable to COVID-19. The increase was included in Depreciation on vehicles subject to operating leases.
We evaluate the carrying value of held-and-used long-lived asset groups (such as vehicles subject to operating leases) for potential impairment when we determine a triggering event has occurred. When a triggering event occurs, a test for recoverability is performed by comparing projected undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying value of the asset group. If the test for recoverability identifies a possible impairment, the asset group’s fair value is measured in accordance with the fair value measurement framework. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group exceeds its estimated fair value. For the first quarter of 2020, we considered the economic slowdown resulting from COVID-19 and determined a triggering event has not occurred. For the periods presented, we have not recorded any impairment charges.
