LEASES

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2023

The Company leases certain property, buildings and equipment. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company records the related asset and obligation at the present value of lease payments. Many of the Company's leases include rental escalation clauses, renewal options, and/or termination options that are factored into our determination of lease payments when appropriate. The right-of-use assets are classified as noncurrent and included within the caption "Other noncurrent assets" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The current portion of lease liabilities are classified under the caption "Other accrued liabilities," while the noncurrent portion of lease liabilities are classified under the caption "Other long-term liabilities" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company does not separate lease and non-lease components. As most of the Company's leases do not provide a readily stated discount rate, the Company must estimate the rate to discount lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate.

Operating lease expense was $16 million and $15 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. New operating leases of $14 million and $2 million were added during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Wabtec does not have material financing leases, short-term or variable leases or sublease income.
