Leases

Leases

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2020

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company accounts for leases under ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), and related amendments, which requires lessees to recognize a right of use asset and a lease liability for substantially all leases and to disclose key information about leasing arrangements.

The Company primarily leases buildings and equipment. The Company determines if a contract is a lease at the inception of the arrangement. The Company reviews all options to extend, terminate, or purchase its right of use assets at the inception of the lease and accounts for these options when they are reasonably certain of being exercised. Certain real estate leases contain lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. Lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

All of the Company's leases are currently determined to be operating leases.
