13.2 LEASE CONTRACTS

Accounting principles

A lease contract is a contract that grants lessee the right to use an identified asset for a specified period of time in exchange for consideration. At lease inception, an asset corresponding to right of use and a debt are recognized in the lessee’s balance sheet. Carrying value of right of use corresponds to present value of future lease payments plus any direct costs incurred for concluding the contract. Lease debt is recorded as a liability in the balance sheet under financial debts. Rights of use are depreciated over the useful lives applied by TotalEnergies.

Leases that are of short duration or that relate to low value assets are not recorded in the balance sheet, in accordance with the exemptions in the standard. They are presented as off-balance sheet commitments.

TotalEnergies mainly leases real estate, service stations, ships, and other equipment (refer to Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

The future minimum lease payments on leases to which TotalEnergies is committed are as follows:
