LEASING
19-1
What is a Lease? Why Lease? Types of Leases: ◦ Operating Leases ◦ Financial Leases Sale and Leaseback Leveraged Leases
19-2
Lease – contractual agreement for use of an asset in return for a series of payments
Lessor – owner of the asset; receives payments The lessor is either the asset’s manufacturer or an
independent leasing company
Lessee – user of an asset; makes payments ◦ For the lessee the most important is the use of the
asset, not who owns the asset ◦ Buying versus Leasing: The decision involves a
comparison of the alternative financing methods employed to secure the use of the asset. In both cases, the company ends up using the asset.
19-3
19-4
Sensible Reasons for Leasing ◦ Short-term leases are convenient ◦ Cancellation options are valuable ◦ Maintenance is provided ◦ Standardization leads to low costs ◦ Tax shields can be used
Dubious Reasons for Leasing ◦ Leasing avoids capital expenditure controls ◦ Leasing preserves capital ◦ Leases may be off balance sheet financing
19-5
Operating Leases
Financial Leases
19-6
Also called a service lease. 1. Payments are not high enough for the
lessor to recover the full cost of the asset (i.e., not fully amortized).
2. Life of the lease is often less than the economic life of the asset.
3. The lessor often provides the routine maintenance for the asset.
4. It is often cancelable.
19-7
Also called capital leases. 1. Do not provide for maintenance or service
by the lessor. 2. Financial leases are fully amortized. 3. The lessee usually has a right to renew the
lease at expiry. 4. Generally, financial leases cannot be
cancelled.
19-8
Two special types of Financial Leases:
◦ Sale and leaseback – lessee sells the asset to the lessor and then leases it back
◦ Leveraged leases – lessor borrows a substantial portion of the purchase price of the leased asset
19-9
A particular type of financial lease Occurs when a company sells an asset it
already owns to another firm and immediately leases it from them.
Two sets of cash flows occur: ◦ The lessee receives cash today from the sale. ◦ The lessee agrees to make periodic lease
payments, thereby retaining the use of the asset.
19-10
A leveraged lease is another type of financial lease.
A three-sided arrangement between the lessee, the lessor, and lenders: ◦ The lessor owns the asset and for a fee allows
the lessee to use the asset. ◦ The lessor borrows to partially finance the asset. ◦ The lenders typically use a nonrecourse loan.
This means that the lessor is not obligated to the lender in case of a default by the lessee.
19-11
In the old days, leases led to off-balance- sheet financing.
Today, leases are either classified as capital leases or operating leases. ◦ Operating leases – not disclosed on the balance
sheet, but discussed in the footnotes. ◦ Financial (capital) leases – capitalized and
reported on the balance sheet (a debit to the asset for the present value of the lease payments and a credit recognizing the financial obligation of the lease).

Truck is purchased with debt Truck $100,000 Debt $100,000 Land $100,000 Equity $100,000 Total Assets $200,000 Total Debt & Equity $200,000
Operating Lease Truck Debt Land $100,000 Equity $100,000 Total Assets $100,000 Total Debt & Equity $100,000
Capital Lease Assets leased $100,000 Obligations under capital lease $100,000 Land $100,000 Equity $100,000 Total Assets $200,000 Total Debt & Equity $200,000
19-13
A lease is declared a capital lease if one or more of the following criteria is met:
1. Property ownership is transferred to the lessee by the end of the lease term.
2. Lessee can purchase the asset for below market value at the lease’s expiration.
3. Lease term is 75 percent of the asset’s economic life.
4. Present value of payments is at least 90 percent of the market value of the asset at inception.
19-14
Cash flows from the lessee’s point of view Tax deductible lease payment (outflow) Lease payment × (1 – T)
Lost depreciation tax shield from lack of ownership (outflow) Depreciation × T
Initial cost of machine (inflow) Inflow because we save the cost of purchasing the asset now.
May have incremental maintenance, taxes, or insurance
19-15
ABC, Inc. needs new equipment. The equipment would cost $100,000 if purchased and would be depreciated straight-line over 5 years. No salvage is expected. Alternatively, the company can lease the equipment for $25,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 21%. What are the incremental cash flows? After-tax lease payment = 25,000(1 - 0.21) =
19,750 (outflow years 1 to 5) Lost depreciation tax shield = (100,000 / 5) ×
0.21 = 4,200 (outflow years 1 to 5) Cost of machine = 100,000 (inflow year 0)
19-16
Assume the firm’s cost of debt is 7.1%. Aftertax cost of debt = 7.1(1 - 0.21) = 5.609%
CF0 = $100,000
CF1 to CF5 = (-$19,750) + (-$4,200) = -$23,950
NPV at 5.609% = -$1,968
Should the firm buy or lease? ◦ Negative NPV of -$1,968 implies the firm should NOT
lease. We can also see this because the aftertax cost of leasing embedded in the cash flows is calculated to be 6.325%, which is higher than the aftertax cost of debt.
