Operating Leases

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842), “Leases”, as further explained in Note 2, Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

The Corporation’s operating leases consist of various retail branch locations and corporate offices. As of March 31, 2019, the Corporation’s leases have remaining lease terms ranging from nine months to 23 years, including extension options that the Corporation is reasonably certain will be exercised.

The Corporation’s leases include fixed rental payments, and certain of our leases also include variable rental payments where lease payments may increase at pre-determined dates based on the change in the consumer price index. The Corporation’s lease agreements include gross leases as well as leases in which we make separate payments to the lessor for items such as the property taxes assessed on the property or a portion of the common area maintenance associated with the property. We have elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components for all of our building leases. The Corporation also elected to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases, which consist of certain leases of the Corporation’s limited-hour retirement community offices.

As of March 31, 2019 the Corporation’s ROU assets and related lease liabilities were $44.0 million and $48.2 million, respectively.

The components of lease expense were as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

Short term lease expense	15
Variable lease expense	418

Maturities of operating lease liabilities under FASB ASC 842 "Leases" as of March 31, 2019 are as follows:

Total lease payments	$	63,181

As of March 31, 2019, the weighted-average remaining lease term, including extension options that the Corporation is reasonably certain will be exercised, for all operating leases is 14.65 years.

Because we generally do not have access to the rate implicit in the lease, we utilize our incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The weighted average discount rate associated with operating leases as of March 31, 2019 is 3.55%.

As of March 31, 2019, the Corporation had not entered into any material leases that have not yet commenced.
