18 Leasing

The LLB Group as lessee

The LLB Group applied IFRS 16 for the first time from 1 January 2019. The following table shows the transition of liabilities from leasing contracts in accordance with IAS 17 to IFRS 16 on the basis of certain options on the date of transition, and while applying IFRS 16. The recognised lease liability on 1 January 2019 corresponds to the acquisition cost of the rights of use.

Further information

Within the scope of its strategy, the LLB Group evaluates which locations have relevance in its target markets and whether properties should be bought or leased at these locations. If it decides against the purchase of properties, leasing contracts are concluded. These often contain termination and extension options. The assessment of these options is taken into consideration at the time of initial recognition; they are reassessed annually.

The recognised liabilities from leasing contracts and the accompanying rights of use contain extension options. These reflect the current assumptions regarding durations.

The non-recognised leasing contracts largely encompass parking places, which contain reciprocal short-term termination options. These are classified as short-term leases provided substitutability exists for them.

Future claims from operating leases

The LLB Group will apply the modified retrospective method from the introduction of IFRS 16. Accordingly, the comparison figures from the previous year have not been restated.
