Leases

We have leased branches and office space and have entered into various other agreements in conducting our business. At inception, we determine whether an agreement represents a lease and at commencement we evaluate each lease agreement to determine whether the lease is an operating or financing lease. Some of our lease agreements have contained renewal options, tenant improvement allowances, rent holidays and rent escalation clauses. As discussed in “Note 16 – Recent Authoritative Accounting Guidance” included in this report, we adopted ASU 2016-02, as of January 1, 2019.

Pursuant to ASU 2016-02, all of our long-term operating leases outstanding on December 31, 2018 continued to be classified as operating leases. Our capital lease outstanding at December 31, 2018 is classified as a financing lease. With the adoption of ASU 2016-02, we recorded an operating lease right-of-use asset, within the Premises and Equipment line item, and an operating lease liability, within the Other Liabilities line item, on our balance sheet. Right-of-use lease assets represent our right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and the lease obligation represents our commitment to make the lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use lease assets and obligations are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, we have used an estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The right-of-use lease asset includes any lease payments made prior to commencement and excludes any lease incentives. The lease term may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, subject to any changes in the lease or expectations regarding the terms. Variable lease costs such as property taxes are expensed as incurred. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.

Prior to our adoption of ASU 2016-02, when our lease agreements contained renewal options, tenant improvement allowances, rent holidays and rent escalation clauses, we recorded a deferred rent asset or liability equal to the difference between the rent expense and the future minimum lease payments due. The lease expense related to operating leases was recognized on a straight-line basis in the statements of operations over the term of each lease. In cases where the lessor granted us leasehold improvement allowances that reduced our lease expense, we capitalized the improvements as incurred and recognized deferred rent, which was amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the expected useful life of the improvements.
