The new lease standard IFRS 16 that has now replaced IAS 17 came into force on 1 January 2019. The standard primarily introduces changes for the lessee; there is little change for the lessor.
For lessees, IFRS 16 effectively removes the terms financial and operational leasing from an accounting perspective and instead applies the principle of right-of-use assets. All lease liabilities must be recognised, regardless of the type of lease.
According to the simplified approach, it is possible to exempt leases that are low-value and short term, which according to the interpretation means leases that relate to assets with a value of less than EUR 5,000 and leases that have a remaining term of twelve months or less.
This standard is based on the view that the lessee has a right to use an asset for a specific period of time and at the same time an obligation to pay for this right.
The debt/equity ratio KPI changes when the liabilities in the balance sheet increase.
The classification in the income statement changes from being recognised as a leasing expense to being recognised as depreciation (of the asset) and interest expense (for the lease liability). This results in an improved operating profit but impaired net financial items.
