Leases

Our leasing operations consist of various arrangements, where we act either (i) as the lessee (primarily related to our corporate and regional offices, teleport co-location arrangements and a satellite bandwidth capacity), or (ii) as the lessor (for our owned equipment rented to connectivity customers). The foregoing table summarizes the impact of ASC 842 adoption on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019 (in thousands):

(1) This includes arrangements for: (i) corporate and regional office leases, and (ii) teleport co-location leases.
(2) This refers to the satellite bandwidth capacity arrangement assessed as a finance lease during the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The right-of-use asset balance as of June 30, 2019 included the unamortized lease incentive of $0.9 million and unamortized unfavorable contract liability of $7.2 million.
(3) This includes customer equipment arrangements classified as sales-type leases as of June 30, 2019.
(4) All existing arrangements as of January 1, 2019 were not re-assessed as allowed under our ASC 842 implementation. Any new arrangements or changes/modifications to existing contracts after January 1, 2019 adoption date are subject to lease classification assessment in accordance with ASC 842’s new lease accounting model.

The following describes the nature of our various leasing arrangements and the impact to our statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019:

Real Estate Operating Leases (as a Lessee)
The Company has operating leases for office facilities throughout the United States and around the world. Upon inception of a contract, the Company evaluates if the contract, or part of the contract, contains a lease. A lease conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Leases include both a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The right-of-use asset represents the Company’s right to use the underlying asset in the lease, and it also includes prepaid lease payments. The lease liability represents the present value of the remaining lease payments discounted using the incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”). Maintenance and property tax expenses are accounted for on an accrual basis as variable lease cost. The Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components, if applicable.

The Company records lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term in general and administrative expense. Total lease expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $1.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of one year to 11 years. Lease terms include renewal or termination options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, the Company does not record a right-of-use asset and associated lease liability on its condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Teleport Co-Location Operating Leases (as a Lessee)
The Company engages certain bandwidth providers for teleport co-location services to deliver bandwidth to our network. These co-location service agreements typically include provisions for physical rack space at a third-party teleport facility. We have determined that the space provided for our equipment constitutes an operating lease.

These leases have remaining lease terms of one year to 10 years as of June 30, 2019. The Company records lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term as part of cost of sales -- licensing and services. Total lease cost recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Satellite Bandwidth Finance Lease (as a Lessee)
The Company maintains agreements with satellite service providers to provide for satellite bandwidth capacity. During the current quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company modified an existing arrangement for bandwidth capacity. Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that the modified bandwidth capacity agreement met the definition of a finance lease under ASC 842. The Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components, if applicable.

This finance lease has a remaining lease term of 7 years as of June 30, 2019. The Company records finance lease cost as part of cost of sales -- licensing and services and interest expense, net. The following table provides the components of the finance lease cost for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019:

Equipment Held by Customers (as a Lessor)
The Company either sells or leases certain equipment (including antennas, modems and routers, among others) as part of the bandwidth service to our Maritime and Land Connectivity customers. To the extent there are no changes to existing customer lease arrangements, we continue to account for the equipment leases transactions as operating leases. We recognize lease payments for operating leases as licensing and services revenue in our consolidated statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We assess any new arrangements or modifications to existing arrangements and determine the impact of the economic circumstances (and any changes thereto) to the lease classification of the equipment held by our connectivity customers. We recognize investments in leases for sales-type leases when the risk and rewards of ownership are not fully transferred to the customer due to our continued involvement with the equipment. We allocate the total consideration in a contract assessed with a sales-type lease using the expected cost-plus margin and residual methods for the lease and non-lease components, respectively.

The service revenues and recognized revenues on sales-type leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 is presented in the following table (in thousands):

(1) This is presented as part of Revenues -- Licensing and services in our consolidated statement of operations, and includes the equipment lease component that is embedded in the overall bandwidth service arrangement. Since we adopted the practical expedient to not separate the lease and non-lease components as allowed with the ASC 842 implementation as of January 1, 2019, we will continue to classify existing embedded equipment arrangements as operating leases, to the extent unmodified.
(2) This includes the equipment lease revenues recognized at commencement date of the customer equipment arrangements classified as sales-type leases. As equipment leasing is a standard component in our connectivity business model, we present equipment revenues relating to these sales-type leases on a gross basis, and recognize a corresponding cost of sales equal to the net book value of the leased equipment. Interest income component is considered immaterial.

Other Arrangements (as a Lessee)
The Company leases certain computer software and equipment under finance leases that expire on various dates through 2020, for which the outstanding lease liability balance was assessed as insignificant as of June 30, 2019.

The Company reviews the carrying value of its right-of-use assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the recorded value may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by comparing the carrying amounts of the assets to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, excluding financing costs. If the Company determines that an impairment exists, any related impairment loss is estimated based on fair values.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information, Weighted-Average Remaining Lease Term and Discount Rate

Because the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its IBR to determine the present value of the lease payments. The following table discloses the weighted-average remaining lease term and IBR for our operating real estate leases, as well as supplemental cash flow information (in thousands):

Our leasing operations consist of various arrangements, where we act either (i) as the lessee (primarily related to our corporate and regional offices, teleport co-location arrangements and a satellite bandwidth capacity), or (ii) as the lessor (for our owned equipment rented to connectivity customers). The foregoing table summarizes the impact of ASC 842 adoption on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019 (in thousands):

(1) This includes arrangements for: (i) corporate and regional office leases, and (ii) teleport co-location leases.
(2) This refers to the satellite bandwidth capacity arrangement assessed as a finance lease during the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The right-of-use asset balance as of June 30, 2019 included the unamortized lease incentive of $0.9 million and unamortized unfavorable contract liability of $7.2 million.
(3) This includes customer equipment arrangements classified as sales-type leases as of June 30, 2019.
(4) All existing arrangements as of January 1, 2019 were not re-assessed as allowed under our ASC 842 implementation. Any new arrangements or changes/modifications to existing contracts after January 1, 2019 adoption date are subject to lease classification assessment in accordance with ASC 842’s new lease accounting model.

The following describes the nature of our various leasing arrangements and the impact to our statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019:

Real Estate Operating Leases (as a Lessee)
The Company has operating leases for office facilities throughout the United States and around the world. Upon inception of a contract, the Company evaluates if the contract, or part of the contract, contains a lease. A lease conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Leases include both a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The right-of-use asset represents the Company’s right to use the underlying asset in the lease, and it also includes prepaid lease payments. The lease liability represents the present value of the remaining lease payments discounted using the incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”). Maintenance and property tax expenses are accounted for on an accrual basis as variable lease cost. The Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components, if applicable.

The Company records lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term in general and administrative expense. Total lease expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $1.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of one year to 11 years. Lease terms include renewal or termination options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, the Company does not record a right-of-use asset and associated lease liability on its condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Teleport Co-Location Operating Leases (as a Lessee)
The Company engages certain bandwidth providers for teleport co-location services to deliver bandwidth to our network. These co-location service agreements typically include provisions for physical rack space at a third-party teleport facility. We have determined that the space provided for our equipment constitutes an operating lease.

These leases have remaining lease terms of one year to 10 years as of June 30, 2019. The Company records lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term as part of cost of sales -- licensing and services. Total lease cost recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Satellite Bandwidth Finance Lease (as a Lessee)
The Company maintains agreements with satellite service providers to provide for satellite bandwidth capacity. During the current quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company modified an existing arrangement for bandwidth capacity. Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that the modified bandwidth capacity agreement met the definition of a finance lease under ASC 842. The Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components, if applicable.

This finance lease has a remaining lease term of 7 years as of June 30, 2019. The Company records finance lease cost as part of cost of sales -- licensing and services and interest expense, net. The following table provides the components of the finance lease cost for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019:

Equipment Held by Customers (as a Lessor)
The Company either sells or leases certain equipment (including antennas, modems and routers, among others) as part of the bandwidth service to our Maritime and Land Connectivity customers. To the extent there are no changes to existing customer lease arrangements, we continue to account for the equipment leases transactions as operating leases. We recognize lease payments for operating leases as licensing and services revenue in our consolidated statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We assess any new arrangements or modifications to existing arrangements and determine the impact of the economic circumstances (and any changes thereto) to the lease classification of the equipment held by our connectivity customers. We recognize investments in leases for sales-type leases when the risk and rewards of ownership are not fully transferred to the customer due to our continued involvement with the equipment. We allocate the total consideration in a contract assessed with a sales-type lease using the expected cost-plus margin and residual methods for the lease and non-lease components, respectively.

The service revenues and recognized revenues on sales-type leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 is presented in the following table (in thousands):

(1) This is presented as part of Revenues -- Licensing and services in our consolidated statement of operations, and includes the equipment lease component that is embedded in the overall bandwidth service arrangement. Since we adopted the practical expedient to not separate the lease and non-lease components as allowed with the ASC 842 implementation as of January 1, 2019, we will continue to classify existing embedded equipment arrangements as operating leases, to the extent unmodified.
(2) This includes the equipment lease revenues recognized at commencement date of the customer equipment arrangements classified as sales-type leases. As equipment leasing is a standard component in our connectivity business model, we present equipment revenues relating to these sales-type leases on a gross basis, and recognize a corresponding cost of sales equal to the net book value of the leased equipment. Interest income component is considered immaterial.

Other Arrangements (as a Lessee)
The Company leases certain computer software and equipment under finance leases that expire on various dates through 2020, for which the outstanding lease liability balance was assessed as insignificant as of June 30, 2019.

The Company reviews the carrying value of its right-of-use assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the recorded value may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by comparing the carrying amounts of the assets to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, excluding financing costs. If the Company determines that an impairment exists, any related impairment loss is estimated based on fair values.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information, Weighted-Average Remaining Lease Term and Discount Rate

Because the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its IBR to determine the present value of the lease payments. The following table discloses the weighted-average remaining lease term and IBR for our operating real estate leases, as well as supplemental cash flow information (in thousands):
