Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2019: NACCO adopted Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which is codified in Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition method (the "guidance").

The most significant effect to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet relates to the recognition of new right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) and lease liabilities for operating leases of real estate, mining and other equipment that expire at various dates through 2031. The majority of the Company's leases are operating leases. See the table below for further information on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Many leases include renewal and/or fair value or bargain purchase options, which are not recognized on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. There was no cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, liquidity or debt-covenant compliance. NACCO did not apply the standard to the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption.

The Company elected many of the available practical expedients permitted under the guidance, which among other items, allow the Company to carry forward its historical lease classification and not reassess leases for the definition of a lease under the new standard. The Company also elected the practical expedient to carry forward the historical accounting treatment for existing land easement agreements. Upon the adoption of ASC 842, NACCO did not record a ROU asset and related lease liability for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less.

The assumptions used in accounting for ASC 842 were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2019:



Lease term and discount rate
Weighted average remaining lease term (years)
Operating	10.0
Finance	0.8

Weighted average discount rate
