Policies

Payments made under operating leases, where the lessors effectively retain the risks and benefits of ownership, are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense over the term of the lease.

Lease of premises

The majority of the operating lease commitments relate to the group’s leases of premises. These, in the main, give the group the right to renew the lease at the end of the current lease term.

NZ IFRS 16 Leases NZ IFRS 16 will replace all existing guidance on leases, in particular NZ IAS 17 Leases and NZ IFRIC 4 Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease . Under NZ IFRS 16, an entity’s right to control the use of an asset (analogous to an operating lease under NZ IAS 17) meets the definition of, and is recognised as, an asset on the balance sheet. A lease liability reflecting future lease payments is also recognised. Vector is a lessee in predominantly property and land leases. Total non-cancellable operating lease commitments total $24.4 million at 30 June 2017. We expect to provide a more detailed update on our evaluation of the financial impact of NZ IFRS 16 in our 2018 interim financial statements. NZ IFRS 16 is mandatory for the group’s financial year ended 30 June 2020 with early adoption permitted if NZ IFRS 15 is also adopted.
