Operating Leases

As at December 31, 2019, the Company has recognized right-of-use operating lease assets of $93.5 million, net of impairment and operating lease liabilities of $113.2 million. Right-of-use operating lease assets comprise primarily of leased office real estate globally and other assets. For all office real estate leases, rent incentives, including reduced-rent and rent free periods and contractually agreed rent increases during the lease term, have been included when determining the present value of future cash flows.

As part of the Company’s operating effectiveness and efficiency program, we are consolidating our office space. Where negotiations are either in advanced stages of discussion and it is probable that the sub-lease transactions will be completed, or we have agreed terms to sub-lease our office space, we have assessed our right-of-use lease assets for impairment and have recognized a $12.3 million charge within the period.

The Company believes its office space is sufficient to conduct its operations for the foreseeable future in these locations.

The Company has no lease transactions between related parties.

Comparatives have not been presented due to 2019 being the first year of adoption of ASU 2016-2, “Leases (Topic 842)”.
