Lease Commitments

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2019

Chevron implemented the new lease standard at the effective date of January 1, 2019. The cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of 2019 retained earnings is de minimis. The company elected the option to apply the transition provisions at the adoption date instead of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. By making this election, the company has not applied retrospective reporting for the comparable periods. The company elected the short-term lease exception provided for in the standard and therefore only recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term greater than one year.

The company elected the package of practical expedients to not re-evaluate existing contracts as containing a lease or the lease classification unless it was not previously assessed against the lease criteria. In addition, the company did not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. The company applied the land easement

practical expedient. The company has elected the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from lease components for most asset classes except for certain asset classes that have significant non-lease (i.e., service) components. The company assessed some contracts, including those for drill ships, drilling rigs, and storage tanks, not previously assessed against the lease criteria, as operating leases under the new standard, increasing the lease commitments by approximately $2 billion.

The company enters into leasing arrangements as a lessee; any lessor arrangements are not significant. Leases are classified as operating or finance leases. Both operating and finance leases recognize lease liabilities and associated right-of-use assets. Operating lease arrangements mainly involve drill ships, drilling rigs, time chartered vessels, bareboat charters, terminals, exploration and production equipment, office buildings and warehouses, and land. Finance leases primarily include facilities and vessels.

Chevron uses various assumptions and judgments in preparing the quantitative data and qualitative information that is material to the company’s overall lease population. Where leases are used in joint ventures, the company recognizes 100% of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities when the company is the sole signatory for the lease (in most cases, where the company is the operator of a joint venture). Lease costs reflect only the costs associated with the operator's working interest share. The lease term includes the committed lease term identified in the contract, taking into account renewal and termination options that management is reasonably certain to exercise. The company uses its incremental borrowing rate as a proxy for the discount rate based on the term of the lease unless the implicit rate is available.

Details of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating and finance leases, including the balance sheet presentation, are as follows:

_______________________________________________

⁽¹⁾ Capitalized leased assets of $818 million are primarily from the Upstream segment, with accumulated amortization of $617 million at December 31, 2018.

⁽²⁾ Includes non-cash additions of $1,152 million and $146 million right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new and modified lease liabilities in 2019 for operating and finance leases, respectively.

Total lease costs consist of both amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income during the period and amounts capitalized as part of the cost of another asset. Total lease costs incurred for operating and finance leases were as follows:



	Three Months Ended September 30		Nine Months Ended September 30
	2019		2019
	(Millions of dollars)
Operating lease costs^*	$	684	$	1,804
Finance lease costs	35		55
Total lease costs	$	719	$	1,859

_______________________________________________

* Includes variable and short-term lease costs.

Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities was as follows:



	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019
	(Millions of dollars)
Operating cash flows from operating leases	$	1,029
Investing cash flows from operating leases	775
Operating cash flows from finance leases	10
Financing cash flows from finance leases	19

At September 30, 2019, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows for operating and finance leases were as follows:



		At September 30, 2019
		Operating Leases		Finance Leases
		(Millions of dollars)
Year	2019 (remaining months)	$	409	$	12
	2020	1,301		31

	Total	$	4,448	$	375
Less: Amounts representing interest		383		105
Total lease liabilities		$	4,065	$	270

Additionally, the company has $872 million in future undiscounted cash flows for operating leases not yet commenced. These leases are primarily for a drill ship, a drilling rig, bareboat charters, and a facility. For those leasing arrangements where the underlying asset is not yet constructed, the lessor is primarily involved in the design and construction of the asset.

At December 31, 2018, the estimated future minimum lease payments (net of noncancelable sublease rentals) under operating and capital leases, which at inception had a noncancelable term of more than one year, were as follows:



		At December 31, 2018
		Operating Leases		Capital Leases ^*
		(Millions of dollars)
Year	2019	$	540	$	30
	2020	492		22

	Thereafter	341		132
	Total	$	2,159	$	233
Less: Amounts representing interest and executory costs				(88		)
Net present values				145
Less: Capital lease obligations included in short-term debt				(18		)
Long-term capital lease obligations				$	127

_______________________________________________

* Excluded from the table is an executed but not-yet-commenced capital lease with payments of $14, $15, $22, $21, $21 and $219 for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and thereafter, respectively.
