Significant accounting policies
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Group is a party to lease contracts, based on which the Group accepts the right to use an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Group is also a party to lease contracts, based on which the Group transfers the right to use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Group as a lessee
The Group, as a lessee, recognizes the lease contract as a component of the right-to-use assets and the corresponding lease liability on the date when the subject of the lease is available for use. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and accrued interest on the liability. Interest expense is recognized in the income statement over the lease term to obtain a constant periodic interest rate on the remaining balance of the lease liability. The right-of-use asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of two periods: the useful life of the asset or the lease term. The Group recognizes the right-of-use assets in the item of the statement of financial position ‘Property, plant and equipment’ and lease liabilities – in the item of the statement of financial position ‘Amounts due to customers’ or ‘Amounts due to banks’.
The right-of-use assets are measured at cost, comprising:
- the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability,
- any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received,
- any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee, and
- an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located, if the lessee incurs liabilities regarding these
On the date when the lease commences, the Group, as a lessee, measures the lease liability in the present value of lease payments outstanding as at that date. The lease liabilities include the current value of the following lease payments:
- fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable,
- variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate,
- amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees,
- the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and
- payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if the rate can be readily determined, or the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.
After the lease commencement date, the Group taken into account changes in lease payments (resulting, inter alia, from changes in the index, rate, lease term), by remeasuring the lease liabilities and the right-of-use assets.
The Group does not recognize the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term lease contracts and lease contracts of low-value assets. Short-term lease payments and payments for leases of low-value assets are recognized as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis. Short-term lease contracts are lease contracts that have a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets include mainly lease of space (land) for ATMs.
Group as a lessor
At commencement date of a lease, the Group, as a lessor, classifies each lease contract as an operating lease or a finance lease. The Group classifies a lease as a finance lease whether it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an underlying asset. Conversely, if substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the underlying asset are not transferred, the lease is considered to be an operating lease. In the process of determining the classification of a lease contract, the Group takes into account elements such as whether the lease term accounts for the major part of the economic life of the underlying asset.
Finance lease
At the commencement date, the Group, as a lessor, recognizes assets held under a finance lease in its statement of financial position and present them as a receivables from finance lease (presented in item ‘Loans and advances to customers’) at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease, i.e. at present value of lease payments and any unguaranteed residual value assigned to the Group.
At the finance lease commencement date, the lease payments included in the measurement of the net investment in the lease comprise the following payments for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term that are not received at the commencement date:
- fixed payments, less any lease incentives payable,
- variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate,
- any residual value guarantees provided to the Group as a lessor,
- the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and
- payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.
During the lease term, the Group, as a lessor, recognizes interest income, based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the Group’s net investment in the lease. Lease payments paid over the lease term, reduce both the principal and the accrued interest.
The Group applies the derecognition and impairment requirements in IFRS 9 to the net investment in the lease. The estimated unguaranteed residual values used in computing the gross investment in the lease are regularly reviewed by the Group.
Operating lease
During the lease term, the Group, as a lessor, recognizes lease payments from operating lease as income on a straight- line basis and presents them in the item ‘Other operating income’. The depreciation of leased assets is recognized in accordance with the principles applied by the Group for property, plant and equipment.
