(12) Leases

Real Estate

We lease our corporate and administrative offices in Phoenix, Arizona and our U.K. headquarters in Stockton-on-Tees.  We also lease field locations throughout the U.S. and the U.K., as well as two in Canada.  Many real estate leases include one or more options to renew.  The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at our discretion and we assess the initial lease term based on the term that we are reasonably certain to occupy the leased property.  None of our real estate leases contain residual value guarantees or purchase options.  The majority of our real estate leases are operating leases.  

Equipment Leases

Mobile Mini also engages in leases related to ancillary equipment to support our field operations; such as, forklifts, trucks, service vehicles and automobiles.  These leases often include an option to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease and are generally finance leases.  In addition, we have leases for certain office equipment.  

Lease Assets and Liabilities

For leases with an initial term greater than twelve months, we recognize a lease asset and liability at commencement date.  Lease assets are initially measured at cost, which includes the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, less lease incentives received.  In our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, finance lease assets are included in property, plant and equipment.  For operating leases, the liability is initially and subsequently measured as the present value of the unpaid lease payments.  For finance lease liabilities, the lease liability is also initially measured as the present value of the unpaid lease payments and is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.  We are required to use estimates and judgments in the determination of our lease liabilities.
