Leases (Notes)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2020

LeasesIn February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which introduced a new accounting model that requires most leases to be reported on the balance sheet. It also established disclosure requirements, which are more extensive than those required under prior U.S. GAAP. The standard required use of the modified retrospective (cumulative effect) transition approach and was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019. We selected the effective date of ASU 2016-02 as the date of initial application on transition, as permitted by ASU 2016-02, as amended ("Topic 842"). Under this transition method, the cumulative effect from prior periods upon applying the new guidance to arrangements

containing leases was recognized in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 30, 2018. We did not recast comparative periods.

A summary of such cumulative effect adjustment is as follows:


(In thousands)	Increase / (Decrease)

Right-of-use asset	$	129,652
Prepaid expenses and other	3,968
Other current liabilities	22,767
Other liabilities	110,853

Arrangements Containing Leases

The cumulative effect adjustment above, is primarily comprised of arrangements where we are the lessee under operating leases for real estate (office, data center, and warehouse space) and certain dedicated fiber optic lines within our infrastructure. The duration of these agreements ranges from several months to in excess of 20 years. Generally, variable lease payments under these operating lease agreements relate to amounts based on changes to an index or rate (i.e. percentage change in the consumer price index). We do not have any arrangements where we are the lessee, classified as finance leases in our consolidated financial statements.

In addition to the items described above, we also procure hotel stays and rental cars in connection with associate business travel, and the use of certain equipment for trade shows, client presentations, conferences, and internal meetings. We have made the policy election to classify such arrangements as short-term leases, as defined in Topic 842. As such, we have not recognized lease liabilities and right-of-use assets for such arrangements in our consolidated financial statements. The duration of these arrangements is less than one month. Therefore, we do not disclose any short-term lease expense, as permitted by Topic 842. Expense for such items is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of such arrangements.

Arrangements in which we are the lessor are not significant to our consolidated financial statements.

Amounts Included in the Consolidated Financial Statements

The following table presents a summary of lease liability and right-of-use asset amounts included in our consolidated balance sheets at the end of 2020 and 2019, under operating lease arrangements where we are the lessee:
