42. Leases

 

The Group has lease contracts for various items of buildings and other equipment used in its operations. Leases of buildings generally have lease terms between 2 and 9 years, while other equipment generally have lease terms of 3 years. The Group’s obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor’s title to the leased assets. Generally, the Group is restricted from assigning and subleasing the leased assets and some contracts require the Group to maintain certain financial ratios. There are several lease contracts that include extension and termination options and variable lease payments.

 

The Group also has certain leases of buildings with lease terms of 12 months or less. The Group applies the ‘short term leases’ recognition exemptions for these leases.

ii) Extension Option

 

Some property leases contain extension options exercisable by the Group for 3-5 years after the end of the non-cancellable contract period. Where practicable, the Group seeks to include extension options in new leases to provide operational flexibility. The extension options held are exercisable only by the Group and not by the lessors. The Group assesses at lease commencement date whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the extension options. The Group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the options if there is a significant event or significant changes in circumstances within its control.
