Leases

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2021

15. Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company has leases for manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, warehouses, office space and equipment, with remaining lease terms of one to fourteen years. Certain of these leases include options to extend the lease for up to five years, and some include options to terminate the lease early. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position; the Company recognizes lease expense for these short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating leases with an initial term greater than 12 months are included in Right of use asset – operating leases (“ROU assets”), Operating lease liability – short term, and Operating lease liability – long term and finance leases are included Property, plant and equipment, Finance lease liability – short term, and Finance lease liability – long term in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

The ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. When leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used, which is then applied at the portfolio level, based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company has also elected not to separate lease and non-lease components. The lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
