|
With effect from July 1 2019 the group will adopt IFRS 16: Leases (IFRS 16). IFRS 16
replaces IAS 17 Leases which requires that all operating leases, other than short-term
and low-value leases, to be recorded on the statement of financial position in a similar
manner to finance leases under IAS 17. As a result approximately 1 835 operating
leases of the group’s lease portfolio will now be brought onto the statement of financial
position. |

The group has elected to adopt IFRS 16 using a modified retrospective approach.
Under a modified retrospective approach, the group applies IFRS 16 from the
beginning of July 1 2019 and does not restate its prior-period financial information.
The lease liability will be measured present value of the remaining lease payments
discounted at the incremental borrowing rate at July 1 2019. The right-of-use lease will
be measured as if IFRS 16 had always been applied (but using the incremental
borrowing rate at July 1 2019). |

The group’s initial assessment of IFRS 16 is that it will have an impact on the following
significant areas (but not limited to):
- Recognition of a right-of-use lease asset of approximately R4,2 billion
and amortisation for the 2020 financial year between R640 million and R660 million.
- An overall increase in the Group’s net debt (lease liability of approximately
R5,1 billion), debt/equity ratio and total assets due to inclusion of the lease right-of-use
asset (R4,2 billion) on the statement of financial position.
- Higher trading profit due to an element of the operating lease charge being
disclosed as a finance charge.
- Higher finance charges (2020: estimated lease finance charge between R310 million
and R330 million) and lower trading interest cover levels due to the finance element
of the current lease charge being moved to the finance charges line on the
statement of profit or loss.
- Lease payments for the 2020 financial year expected to be between R940 million
and R980 million, in terms of IFRS 16 (ignoring lease smoothing adjustments), the
“operating” lease charge is not recognised as an operating expense as it is replaced
by the amortisation of the right-of-use asset and interest of the lease liability.
- Derecognition of the straight-lining lease liabilities of R84 million as an opening
retained earnings adjustment on transition.
