NOTE M: LEASES

Adoption of ASU 2016-02

The Company currently leases shop, office and parking spaces in various locations in the United States and Mexico. The initial term for the majority of these leases is one year or less, with an option for early cancellation and an option to renew for subsequent one- month periods. These leases can be terminated by either party by providing notice to the other party of the intent to cancel or to not extend. Relatively short lease durations for these properties are intended to provide flexibility to the Company as changing operational needs and shifting opportunities often result in cancellation or non-renewal of these leases by the Company or the lessor.

The initial lease term for certain shop and office locations is for periods ranging from one to five years with early cancellation options. The Company prefers that leases include early cancellation provisions to prevent becoming locked into long-term leases that become operationally unjustified and to allow the flexibility to pursue more cost-effective options for similar properties if they become available. These leases often include the option to extend for additional periods, which may or may not be exercised. Based on historical experience, the Company does not always extend these leases, sometimes exercises the option to cancel leases early and sometimes lessors choose to cancel leases or not extend.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 and related amendments on January 1, 2019 utilizing the modified retrospective approach and elected to apply the practical expedients outlined above. This election allowed the Company to continue to recognize lease expense for operating leases for which the initial term was twelve months or less, or for which it is reasonably likely that early cancellation provisions will be exercised, on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the leases.

The Company leases trucks to owner-operators under our lease-to-own program. We also lease dock space to a related party and office space to a non-related party at our Laredo, Texas terminals. We have reviewed these operating leases and determined that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not require a change to our financial statements, as our method of accounting for related assets and lease revenue is consistent with the provisions of the new standard.

Because the Company’s historical method of accounting for leases is consistent with the provisions of ASU 2016-02, the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Right-of-Use Leases

Following the Company’s adoption of ASU 2016-02 and related amendments on January 1, 2019, the Company entered into operating leases which include initial terms ranging from three to five years and which do not include an option for early cancellation. In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 842, these leases resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities, respectively, valued at $1.4 million as of March 31, 2021. These assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date, using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as of the respective dates of lease inception, as the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable. The right-of-use assets are recorded in other assets, and the lease liability is recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities and in other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in rent and purchased transportation in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. While these lease agreements may contain provisions to extend after the initial term for an additional five years, the Company is not reasonably certain these extension options will be exercised. Therefore, potential lease payments that might occur under this extension period are not included in amounts recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2021.

Scheduled amounts and timing of cash flows arising from future right-of-use operating lease payments at March 31, 2021, are:

Lessor Disclosures under ASC Topic 842

The Company leases trucks to owner-operators under operating leases, which generally have a term of up to five years and include options to purchase the truck at the end of the lease. In the event that an independent contractor defaults on their lease, the Company generally leases the truck to another independent contractor.

As of March 31, 2021, the gross carrying value of trucks underlying these leases was $56.3 million and accumulated depreciation was $29.6 million. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the equipment, down to an estimated salvage value. In most cases, the Company has agreements in place with certain manufacturers whereby salvage values are guaranteed by the manufacturer. In other cases, where salvage values are not guaranteed, estimates of salvage value are based on the expected market values of equipment at the time of disposal. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company incurred $1.4 million of depreciation expense for these assets.

The Company leases dock space to a related party at our Laredo, Texas terminal and warehouse and office space to an unrelated lessee at a second Laredo, Texas terminal. The dock space and the warehouse and office space leased are depreciated in conjunction with the structures and improvements for the entire Laredo terminals on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. Lease income is recorded as a component of non-operating income in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2021, the gross carrying value of the buildings underlying these leases was $13.7 million and accumulated depreciation was $1.4 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company incurred $0.2 million of depreciation expense for the portions of these buildings that are subject to lease.
