Leases

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2019

(In Thousands)

The Company adopted ASC 842 in the first quarter of 2019. The Company enters into leases in both lessor and lessee capacities.

ASC 842 provided for a number of optional practical expedients, of which the Company has elected several including (i) the option not to separate the lease and non-lease components; (ii) the ‘package of practical expedients,’ where the Company does not have to reassess (A) whether expired or existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease, (B) lease classification for expired or existing leases and (C) previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under ASC 842; and (iii) the use of hindsight in determining the lease term, which permits the use of information available after lease inception to determine the lease term via the knowledge of renewal options exercised but not available at the leases inception.

The practical expedient pertaining to land easements is not applicable to the Company.

Lessor Arrangements

The Company provides equipment financing to its customers through sales type or direct financing lease arrangements. These leases are carried at the aggregate of lease payments receivable plus the estimated residual value of the leased property less unearned income, which is accreted into interest income over the lease’s term using methods that approximate the interest method. These arrangements generally do not contain non-lease components. Lease agreements may include renewal and purchase options.

As of March 31, 2019, the net investment in these leases was $8,967, comprised of $7,164 in lease receivables, $2,408 in residual balances and $605 in deferred income. In order to mitigate potential exposure to residual asset risk, the Company utilizes first amendment or terminal rental adjustment clause leases.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company generated $81 in income, which is included in interest income on loans on the Consolidated Statements of Income from these leases.

The maturities of the lessor arrangements outstanding at March 31, 2019 is presented in the table below.

Lessee Arrangements

All of the Company’s lessee arrangements are operating leases, being real estate leases for Company facilities. Under these arrangements, the Company records right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities, each of which is based on the present value of the remaining lease payments and are discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Right-of-use assets are reported in premises and equipment on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the related lease liabilities are reported in other liabilities. All leases are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet except for leases with an initial term less than 12 months for which the Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in occupancy and equipment expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Variable lease payments consist primarily of common area maintenance and taxes. The Company does not have any material sublease agreements currently in place.

As of March 31, 2019, right-of-use assets totaled $52,478 and lease liabilities totaled $56,049. Lease terms may contain renewal and extension options and early termination features. Many leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 20 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. Renewal options which are reasonably certain to be exercised in the future were included in the measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.
