Analysis of Operating Leases
Advanced level
An operating lease is treated like a rental contract. Neither the leased asset nor the associated liability is reported on the lessee balance sheet, but the rights may be very similar to the rights of an owner. The lessee only records the lease payments as a rental expense in income statement.

Accounting Policy on Operating Leases
Starbucks leases retail stores, roasting, distribution and warehouse facilities and office space for corporate administrative purposes under operating leases. Most lease agreements contain tenant improvement allowances, rent holidays, lease premiums, rent escalation clauses and/or contingent rent provisions. Starbucks recognizes amortization of lease incentives, premiums and minimum rent expenses on a straight-line basis beginning on the date of initial possession, which is generally when Starbucks enters the space and begins to make improvements in preparation for intended use.
For tenant improvement allowances and rent holidays, Starbucks records a deferred rent liability within accrued liabilities, or other long-term liabilities, on the consolidated balance sheets and amortizes the deferred rent over the terms of the leases as reductions to rent expense in store operating expenses on the consolidated statements of earnings.
For premiums paid up-front to enter a lease agreement, Starbucks records a prepaid rent asset in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheets and amortizes the premium over the terms of the leases as additional rent expense in store operating expenses on the consolidated statements of earnings.
For scheduled rent escalation clauses during the lease terms or for rental payments commencing at a date other than the date of initial possession, Starbucks records minimum rent expense on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases in store operating expenses on the consolidated statements of earnings, with the adjustments to cash rent accrued as deferred rent in the consolidated balance sheets.
Certain leases provide for contingent rent, which is determined as a percentage of gross sales in excess of specified levels. Starbucks records a contingent rent liability in accrued occupancy costs within accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and the corresponding rent expense when Starbucks determines that achieving the specified levels during the fiscal year is probable.
When ceasing operations of company-operated stores under operating leases, in cases where the lease contract specifies a termination fee due to the landlord, Starbucks records such expense at the time written notice is given to the landlord. In cases where terms, including termination fees, are yet to be negotiated with the landlord, Starbucks will record the expense upon signing of an agreement with the landlord. In cases where the landlord does not allow Starbucks to prematurely exit the lease, Starbucks recognizes a lease abandonment accrual equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments to the landlord and other rent related payments such as common area maintenance, taxes and insurance, less any projected sublease income at the cease-use date.
