Leases [Abstract] |
Leases | LEASES Lessor Information Refer to Note 1 to these condensed consolidated financial statements for further information about the Company's revenue generating activities as a lessor. All of the Company's customer agreements are considered operating leases, and the Company currently does not have any sales-type or direct financing leases. Lessee Information As a lessee, the Company leases retail store and warehouse space for most of its Aaron's Business store-based operations, call center space and hubs for its Progressive Leasing segment, and management and information technology space for corporate functions under operating leases expiring at various times through 2033. To the extent that a leased retail store or warehouse space is vacated prior to the termination of the lease, the Company may sublease these spaces to third parties while maintaining its primary obligation as the intermediate lessor. The Company leases transportation vehicles under operating and finance leases, most of which generally expire during the next three years. The transportation leases generally include a residual value that is guaranteed to the lessor, which ensures that the vehicles will be returned to the lessor in reasonable working condition. The Company also leases various IT equipment such as printers and computers under operating leases, most of which generally expire during the next three years. For all of its leases in which the Company is a lessee, the Company has elected to include both the lease and non-lease components as a single component and account for it as a lease. Finance lease costs are comprised of the amortization of right-of-use assets and interest on lease liabilities, which are recorded within operating expenses and interest expense, respectively, in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of earnings. Operating lease costs are recorded on a straight-line basis within operating expenses or restructuring expenses, net (if the lease costs are related to the Company's restructuring programs as described in Note 8) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of earnings. The Company’s total lease expense is comprised of the following:

Most of the Company’s real estate leases contain renewal options for additional periods ranging from one to 20 years or provide for options to purchase the related property at predetermined purchase prices that do not represent bargain purchase options. The Company currently does not have any real estate leases in which it considers the renewal options to be reasonably certain of exercise, as the Company's historical experience indicates that renewal options are not reasonably certain to be exercised, as well as contractual renewal rental rates that are considered to be in line with market rental rates and lack of significant economic penalties or business disruptions incurred by not exercising any renewal options. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for its leases, as the implicit rate in the lease is not readily determinable. Below is a summary of the weighted-average discount rate and weighted-average remaining lease term for the Company’s finance and operating leases:
| Weighted Average Discount Rate 1 |  | Weighted Average Remaining Lease Term (in years)
Finance Leases | 6.0 | % |  | 2
Operating Leases | 3.6 | % |  | 5
1 Upon adoption of ASC 842, discount rates for existing operating leases were established as of January 1, 2019. Under the short-term lease exception provided within ASC 842, the Company does not record a lease liability or right-of-use asset for any leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less at commencement, including renewal options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, and do not include purchase options. Below is a summary of undiscounted finance and operating lease liabilities that have initial terms in excess of one year as of March 31, 2019. The table also includes a reconciliation of the future undiscounted cash flows to the present value of the finance and operating lease liabilities included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
