Note H — Leases

 

The Company’s lease portfolio consists primarily of operating leases for office space and has remaining terms from less than one year up to ten years, with contractual terms expiring from 2023 to 2032. Lease contracts may include one or more renewal options that allow the Company to extend the lease term, typically from one year to five years per renewal option. The exercise of lease options is generally at the discretion of the Company. None of the Company’s leases contain residual value guarantees, substantial restrictions, or covenants.

During the three months ended August 31, 2020, the Company ceased the use of certain leased property and accelerated the amortization of operating lease ROU assets, resulting in an additional $24.4 million of expense. The accelerated amortization expense recognized subsequent to August 31, 2020 is immaterial. This expense was included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The related lease liabilities will be satisfied under the original terms of the lease arrangements, unless buy-outs can be negotiated.
