Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback

Jan. 1, 2024

The provisions require a seller-lessee to subsequently measure lease liabilities arising from a sale and leaseback transaction in a way that it does not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. The requirements for initial measurement of the right-of-use asset have not been amended. By contrast, the change to the subsequent measurement of the lease liability requires variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or interest rate to also be considered in the initial measurement of the lease liability from a sale and leaseback transaction.

Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

Jan. 1, 2024

The amendments clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current should be based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period. The amendment also clarifies the definition of settlement of a liability.

Non-current Liabilities with Covenants

Jan. 1, 2024

The amendments clarify that covenants in loan agreements with which an entity is required to comply only after the reporting date do not affect the classification of a liability on the reporting date as current or non-current. By contrast, covenants with which an entity must comply on or before the reporting date affect the classification.
