Leases [Abstract] |
Leases | Leases In February 2016 the FASB established Topic ASC 842, Leases, by issuing Accounting Standards Update 2016-02. Lawson adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019. The Company leases property used for distribution centers, office space, and Bolt branch locations throughout the US and Canada, along with various equipment located in distribution centers and corporate headquarters. The Company is also a lessor of its Decatur, Alabama property previously used in conjunction with a discontinued operation, and is a sublessor of a portion of its corporate headquarters. Lawson Operating Leases Lawson MRO primarily has two types of leases: leases for real estate and leases for equipment. Operating real estate leases that have a material impact on the operations of the Company are related to the Company's distribution network and headquarters. The Company possesses several additional property leases that are month to month basis and are not material in nature. Lawson MRO does not possess any leases that have residual value guarantees. Several property leases include renewal clauses which vary in length and may not include specific rent renewal amounts. The Company will revise the value of the right of use assets and associated lease liabilities when the Company is reasonably certain it will renew a lease. The key change commencing on January 1, 2019 for the Company is the recognition of assets and liabilities of operating leases with lease terms longer than twelve months that were not previously capitalized on the balance sheet. The value of the Right Of Use ("ROU") assets and associated lease liabilities is calculated using the total cash payments over the course of the lease, discounted to the present value using the appropriate incremental borrowing rate. The right of use asset will be amortized over its useful life. Similar to deferred rent under ASC 840, the lease liability is reduced in conjunction with the lease payments made, with adjustments made to the lease liability in order to account for non-straight line cash payments through the life of the lease. Bolt primarily leases the real estate for its branch locations as well as its distribution center in Calgary, Alberta. Bolt possesses additional property leases that are month to month and not material in nature. Bolt property leases include renewal clauses which vary in length and may not include specific rent renewal amounts. The Company will revise the value of the right of use asset and associated lease liability when the Company is reasonably certain it will renew a lease. Lease of McCook Distribution Facility Upon adoption of ASC 842, the previously capitalized financing asset and lease liability for the McCook distribution facility was removed from the balance sheet and re-established as a ROU asset and a lease liability as an operating lease. The Company did not include the lease renewal periods in its assessment of the McCook lease as it did not meet the reasonably certain threshold required under ASC 842. Changes in the value of the assets and liabilities associated with the property due to adoption of ASC 842 have been accounted for as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings of $1.9 million. Accounting Policy Elections As part of the transition to ASC 842, the Company elected the following practical expedients: The transitional package of practical expedients as prescribed by ASC 842. Per the practical expedient for the transition to ASC 842, the Company did not reassess expired leases, existing lease classifications or initial indirect costs for existing leases in the calculation of the right to use asset and lease liability. The Company elected the modified retrospective method of transition, which resulted in no restatement of prior period results with the adoption impact being recorded to opening retained earnings. The Company did not capitalize short term leases, for all asset classes defined as leases with a term of shorter than twelve months, on the balance sheet. These leases have not been transitioned to ASC 842. As a practical expedient, the Company did not reassess the accounting for initial direct costs of current leases. The Company elected not to use the hindsight practical expedient in determining the lease term. The Company recognizes certain lease components and non-lease components together and not as separate parts of a lease for real estate leases. The Company will exercise this practical expedient in the future by asset class. Significant Assumptions The Company is required to determine a discount rate for the present value of lease payments. If the rate is not included in the lease or cannot be readily determined, the Company must estimate the incremental borrowing rate to be used for the discount rate. The Company determined that Lawson MRO and Bolt have different discount rates for leases, as both reporting units have separate borrowing agreements. The Lawson MRO segment will discount the present value of the total payments for the operating and financing leases using the incremental borrowing rate of 5.5%, given the similarity of the lease terms amongst asset classes. The Bolt segment will discount the present value of the total payments of each operating and financing lease at its incremental borrowing rate of 4.2%. The discount rate of Lawson MRO and Bolt will be reviewed on a periodic basis and updated as needed. The expenses and income generated by the leasing activity of Lawson as lessee for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2019 are as follows (Dollars in thousands):
