On the first application date, the Group recognizes a right-of-use asset for leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17, by measuring the right-of-use asset at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepayments or accrued lease payments relating to the lease, recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position immediately before the first application date.
According to the new standard, after the transition date, i.e. after 1 January 2019, right-of-use assets are measured at cost. The cost of a right-of-use asset consists of:
The right to use an asset is treated in the same way as other non-financial assets and depreciated accordingly.
The Group intends to present its rights to the use of assets in a separate line item of the consolidated statement of financial position. This line item will also present assets used under the currently active finance lease agreements under IAS 17.
Upon adoption of IFRS 16, on the first application date, the Group will recognize a lease liability for leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17, measured at the present value of outstanding lease payments. For the purpose of disclosures relating to the impact of the application of IFRS 16, discounting was applied at the marginal interest rate as at 31 December 2018. At the initial recognition date, the lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability will include the following types of payments for the right to use the underlying asset over the term of the lease:
In order to calculate discount rates for the purposes of IFRS 16, the Group has assumed that the discount rate should reflect the cost of financing that would be incurred to purchase the leased item. In order to estimate the discount rate, the Group took into account the following parameters of the agreement: type, duration, currency and potential margin that it would have to pay to financial institutions in order to obtain financing. As at 31 December 2018, the discount rates calculated by the Parent Company ranged (depending on the term of the contract) from 1.64% to 5.86% for contracts in PLN.
The application of IFRS 16 requires certain estimates and calculations to be made, which affect the measurement of finance lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. These include, among others:
When applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the Group plans to use the following practical solutions / simplifications allowed by the standard:
