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
FedEx leases certain aircraft, facilities, equipment and vehicles and trailers under capital and operating leases. The commencement date of all leases is the earlier of the date FedEx becomes legally obligated to make rent payments or the date FedEx may exercise control over the use of the property. In addition to minimum rental payments, certain leases provide for contingent rentals based on equipment usage, principally related to aircraft leases at FedEx Express. Rent expense associated with contingent rentals is recorded as incurred. Certain of FedEx’s leases contain fluctuating or escalating payments and rent holiday periods. The related rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The cumulative excess of rent payments over rent expense is accounted for as a deferred lease asset and recorded in “Other assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The cumulative excess of rent expense over rent payments is accounted for as a deferred lease obligation. Leasehold improvements associated with assets utilized under capital or operating leases are amortized over the shorter of the asset’s useful life or the lease term.
