Investing for
Example: 15 year lease with fixed rentals
Income statement impact – reduces profit at beginning of lease, and increases profit at the end.
Balance sheet impact – asset depreciates evenly over life. Liability decreases as cash rental payments are made, net of interest charge.
• This is an accounting change only. It will not impact cash flows or how we manage the business
• A balance sheet asset and corresponding liability will be created for relevant leases
• In the income statement rent costs will be replaced by:‒ straight-line depreciation over the lease term;
and interest which reduces over the lease term
• The modified approach to transition has been adopted. Initial asset values equal to the present value of the future lease payments
• Results for H1 2019 will be the first to be reported under this basis. Comparatives will not be restated

• IFRS 16 primarily impacts c.1,650 property leases on company-managed shops
• Also impacts other leased assets, for example company cars
• Property leases typically have 10 year terms (15 in Scotland)
• Average 6.5 year unexpired lease term on transition
Key judgements:• Break clauses not assumed to be exercised• Where a lease has expired we assume that
the lease will be renewed on the same terms, unless the shop has been identified for closure or relocation
• A specific discount rate is set at the inception of each lease
