§ Accounting principles

Sandvik as a lessee

The Right of use (RoU) asset is presented within non-current assets and valued at cost less amortization and impairment, if applicable. The asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated contract period. Lease liabilities are presented within other interest bearing liabilities, see note G22.

Sandvik separates non-lease components from the lease components in contracts referring to buildings. For all other asset classes, non-lease components are included in the calculation of a RoU asset and lease liability.

Sandvik applies the two expedients concerning leases, leases shorter than one year and low-value assets that are not considered in the RoU assets and lease liabilities.

Sandvik as a lessor

In a financial lease contract Sandvik recognizes a non-current and current customer-financing receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. Expected credit losses is reflected in the valuation of the customer-financing receivable at initial recognition and the provision is reassessed during the contract period. Revenue is recognized in accordance with revenue recognition principles.

In an operating lease contract the asset is classified as rental fleet and is subject to the Group’s depreciation policies. The cost of an asset comprises the acquisition value and any initial direct costs related to the contract. The lease revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease contract period.
