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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leasing of capital assets has become an important financing method, not only in the United States but in most West European countries as well. As a result, more and more often, practitioners and theorists are confronted with the lease-or-purchase issue. It may be rather difficult, however, to resolve this issue since there is a multitude of lease-or-purchase models that vary widely in assumed initial conditions, form, and content. In this book, I review and evaluate a number of these models, paying attention to financial leases as well as to operating leases. The models will be analyzed verbally, by means of a numerical example and utilizing uniform mathematical nota tion. After having discussed the theoretical achievements in this area, I investigate the reasons why preference is given to leasing in real-world situa tions and then look into any differences in legal provisions, income tax systems, and accounting regulations in various countries as they may affect the leasing of capital assets. Consequently, I feel that this book is a helpful instrument for both theorists and practitioners confronted with the lease-or purchase decision. Many people made valuable contributions toward developing this book, among others my colleagues of the Department of Business Finance of Erasmus University, Rotterdam. Besides, I am especially indebted to Pro fessor Dr. A. I. Diepenhorst for his advice and suggestions, to an anonymous reviewer for helpful comments, and to Mrs. M. Leutscher-Van den Berg for her patient help in preparing the various versions of the manuscript.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 2,7, University of applied sciences, Munich, language: English, abstract: Leasing is nowadays an established part of the economy as an investment alternative. These figures are promising for the German market, but also comparable with the US. There the share of the investment market accounted for by leasing remained at over 30 percent for years. Due to the financial crisis this rate decreased, but it's rising again. In spite of the crisis leasing expanded its top position as an alternative to the classic bank loans over the past 50 years. Recognized as key engine of innovations, it even assures sufficient financial cushion for investments and contributes to growth dynamics in economies. But what exactly is leasing? There is no generally applicable definition of leases, but in its simplest form, it can be described as provision of access to finance. Leasing object can be anything as classical as machines or real estates, but also intangible assets as software or trademark rights. Leases are an important instrument of accounting policies for entities. In many sectors appropriate equipment is not bought, but leased. Therefore and because of the globalization of capital markets an increasing convergence of accounting standards worldwide is accelerated. The progress toward attaining a global financial reporting framework is focused, and many significant steps have been taken. One of them is the Exposure Draft ED/2013/6. The ambition of it was to guarantee transparency of financial statements as source of information for their readers of financial statements who can be managers, investors, financial auditors but also a big range of stakeholders. Reasons for revising was that the lease accounting model has continually met with criticism. Objective of the following term paper is to provide an overview of the current lease accounting standard.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The accounting treatment for operating leases has attracted attention from both business and academic communities. The progression of the operating lease from short-term low-risk rental activity to an extensive financing vehicle to hide liabilities posed a challenge to the accounting profession. The new lease accounting standards were launched with a background full of controversies. This study provided evidential support for the material changes in reported financial data after implementing the new lease accounting standards. The hypotheses testings utilized the paired t-test and its non-parametric alternative, Wilcoxon, to investigate the significance of the year-over-year differences in financial performance metrics measuring firms’ asset efficiency, profitability, financial leverage, liquidity, and credit risk. The research results revealed significant changes in every category of financial performance. Firms with operating leases demonstrated more volatility in financial performance than firms not engaged in operating leases. Asset efficiency and profitability decreased while financial leverage increased. Other than expected higher assets and liabilities, most firms in the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) Industrial Sector ended up with higher equity and cash holding positions. The significance of the changes in financial ratio reflects the magnitude of the differences in reported financial data pre and post the implementation of the new lease accounting standards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1.0, University of applied sciences Frankfurt a. M., course: Master of Business Administration, language: English, abstract: The objective of this work is to analyze and assess the pros and cons of sale and leaseback transactions (SLBTs) from different perspectives. For that purpose, mainly printed sources from leading authors in the area of finance and accounting as well as academic journals will be used. To include latest developments and insights, the author will reference publications by standardization bodies, the Big Four audit firms as well as consulting companies, among others. At first, the foundational framework will be established, including an overview of available financing methods and a definition on what is commonly understood by external as well as internal financing. The following sub-chapter drills deeper into the matter by defining what leases are and how they can be classified into different types. For that reason, operating and financial leases will be distinguished with reference to common accounting standards. Additionally, a practical example will illustrate this distinction. This is closely followed by the definition of sale and leaseback transactions including the prime characteristics of it. Also, a practical example will ensure clearer understanding. In the main part the pros of sale and leaseback will be assessed from the perspective of the seller as well as from buyer of the assets. The associated cons will be analyzed thereafter. Another practical example will serve to complement this section. In the next chapter the possible effects of changing regulations, laws and accounting practices regarding leases and SLBT’s will be outlined. This includes a practical example to illustrate and explain the effects of the new accounting standard “IFRS 16 Leases” on this subject from different perspectives. After that, a concise overview of typical sale and leaseback applications will follow.

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 Corporate Lease Analysis written by Bennie Nunnally and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1991-04-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work provides a comprehensive look at the latest developments in lease financing. Rather than offering an exposition of leasing theory, Nunnally, Plath, and Johns present the application of this theory to actual business situations. The various types of leases are clearly delineated, including their advantages, disadvantages, and appropriate use. In emphasizing decision-making techniques, the authors incorporate into the volume the tax implications of leasing, the lease versus buy material, and the major contributions of academic research in leasing, with an explanation of how the research both increases the use value of leasing and applies to actual financing problems. The volume is written in a clear, readable style and is divided into five subject areas: leasing concepts, analytical foundations of leasing, reporting for leases, evaluating lease transactions, and the role of leasing in modern financial management. The authors begin the book with a description of the types of leases and their tax, cash flow, and profit implications. A full chapter focuses on the fundamental techniques of time value of money and capital budgeting, which underlie lease analysis; these techniques are subsequently used to illustrate basic principles of lease valuation. Simple numerical examples introduce different lease valuation methods, and explain how to calculate rate of return and identify the appropriate rate of discount. Several contract provisions that complicate lease valuation problems are discussed, including variable rate lease payments, leveraged lease arrangements, and sale-and-leaseback transactions. The work concludes with a survey of contemporary leasing practices and costs. This study will be an important asset for all types of financial managers, as well as for students in finance and accounting courses and for both public and academic libraries.
