LEASES

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 using the modified retrospective transition option. The adoption of Topic 842 resulted in the recording of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for the Company's operating leases as detailed below:



Operating Leases	Balance Sheet Classification	March 31, 2019
Right-of-use assets	Other assets	$	53,159

Current liabilities	Other current liabilities	$	14,410
Noncurrent liabilities	Other liabilities	39,187
Total lease liabilities		$	53,597

Topic 842 did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings, cash flows or debt covenants.

The Company determines if an agreement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s operating leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses a discount rate based on information available at commencement date to present value the lease payments.

The Company has operating leases for sales offices, manufacturing facilities, warehouses and distribution centers, transportation equipment, office equipment and information technology equipment. Some of these leases are noncancelable. Most leases include one or more options to renew, which can extend the lease term from one to 15 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance sheets. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Total lease expense, which is included in Cost of goods sold and Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income, was $5,888 in the three months ended March 31, 2019. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $4,684 and is included in Net cash provided by operating activities in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for operating lease liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $4,956.

The total future minimum lease payments for noncancelable operating leases were as follows:



	March 31, 2019
2019	$	13,770
2020	12,578
2021	9,105
2022	6,669
2023	5,153
After 2023	14,766
Total lease payments	$	62,041
Less: Imputed interest	(8,444		)
Operating lease liabilities	$	53,597

As of March 31, 2019, the weighted average remaining lease term is 6.6 years and the weighted average discount rate used to determine the operating lease liability is 3.6%.
