Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The FASB, in conjunction with the International Accounting Standards Board, is currently in the planning stages of a project that would revise SFAS 13, Accounting for Leases. What is proposed is that leases that are presently accounted for as operating leases, that is, those leases that do not meet the current requirements for on-balance-sheet treatment, would be accounted for as capital leases and brought onto the financial statements. For companies that use a significant amount of operating leases to finance operations, the financial statement impact could be far-reaching, including material effects on various measures of profitability, financial leverage, debt coverage and cash flow.In this article, we look at the retail industry, an industry that uses operating leases extensively, to evaluate how certain key measures of financial performance and position might be affected by the capitalization of operating leases. Among the findings are an increase in EBITDA, though reductions in income from continuing operations and earnings per share. Financial leverage is increased and debt coverage measures are reduced. Measures of profitability, such as return on assets and return on equity are reduced. Finally, we find an increase in operating cash flow and free cash flow.

Download or read book Impact of Lease Capitalization on Financial Ratios of Listed German Companies written by Rolf Uwe Fuelbier and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The separation of leases into operating and finance leases for accounting purposes can result in incentives to favor operating lease contracts, since they avoid on-balance-sheet debt. The IASB and FASB are conducting a long-term joint project on leasing, following the G4 1 group's research on possible improvements to lease accounting. One alternative is to treat all leases in a manner similar to today's finance leasing. Our simulation results for Germany show notable changes in a variety of financial ratios, especially for assets and liability relations, which may trigger management with incentives to dampen these effects. Of note for standard setters, the effects of operating lease capitalization should not be overstated. Only minor effects can be observed for profitability ratios and market multiples often used for valuation purposes. Moreover, most industries remain almost unaffected and the relative ratio-based ranking of all sample companies does not change much. Additionally, we observe that the common Creditstats model yields somewhat comparable results.

Download or read book The Effect of Capitalizing Operating Leases on US Based Retail Companies written by Cédric Planner and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After ten years of developing a new accounting standard for leases, the FASB issued ASC 842 on February 25th, 2016 to improve transparency and comparability of financial statements across companies. The following paper investigates the effect of capitalizing operating leases onto the balance sheet of US-based retail companies. As a basis, the author will present and elaborate on the theoretical fundamentals of the newly established standard ASC 842 through various sources of literature in order to afterwards establish a comprehensive research design. As a result of the research design, an empirical analysis will be conducted using various financial information from Form 10-K documents of each company within the sample to examine the effect of capitalizing operating leases on key financial metrics. According to the results, the paper justifies that capitalizing operating leases onto the balance sheet of US-based retail companies has the potential to create more transparency and comparability, but it will take some time. Furthermore, the results show that the capitalization of operating leases onto the balance sheet has a significant impact on key financial metrics. This impact will manifest itself in the form of individual companies needing to re-negotiate their debt or remuneration contracts.

Download or read book IFRS 16 and Corporate Financial Performance in Italy written by Elisa Raoli and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an empirical analysis on how the new lease accounting model of IFRS 16 affects financial statements and performance of Italian companies. It discusses the theoretical framework of the off-balance sheet financing with a particular focus on the off-balance sheet lease contracts. Previous research provided controversial results about the potential impacts on the companies’ financial statement and performance deriving from leases capitalization. The application of different methodological approaches based on estimation of the expected effects resulted in inconclusive results. This book aims to measure the real impacts deriving from the post-implementation of the new lease accounting standard (IFRS 16) on companies’ financial statements, economic and financial performance, on market reactions and on financial statement’ users.

Download or read book The Effect of the IFRS 16 written by Emre Sari and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 16 issued by the International Accounting Standards Board will significantly change accounting for leases. The most important issue is that operating leases beyond one year will be capitalized, which means Off-The-Balance Sheet (OBS) financing via operating lease is effectively eliminated. “IFRS 16: Leases” will fundamentally change the way that leases are accounted for and reported in financial statements. This paper tries to illustrate the impact of IFRS 16 on financial statements and financial ratios. The study is an ex ante research, simulating a predicted outcome of the new lease standard, which will be in effect after 1 January 2019. For this purpose, this research is applied to the Turkish retailing companies whose shares are publicly traded in the Istanbul Stock Exchange. The study uses the constructive capitalization method for these companies. The results indicate that new standard will have a statistically significant effect on some of the financial ratios tested (debt/asset, debt/equity, return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE)) for 2010-2013.
