  5. Different types of Real Estate Leasing • Finance leasing: One of the following criteria must be fulfilled: • all risks and benefits of the project / lease object are transferred to the lessee; • pursuant to the leasing agreement at the end of the lease term ownership over the lease object is transferred automatically to the lessee; • the lease term exceeds 75% of the standard useful life of the lease object; Benefit: long term financing.

  6. Balance Sheet in case of Finance Leasing Finance leasing: real estate is in the balance sheet of Lessee Lessor: Lessee: balance balance -refinancing -liabilities -receivable to Lessee -real estate P+L P+L -interest -depreciation-interest

  7. Different types of Real Estate Leasing 2.Operate Leasing: • if no criteria for a finance leasing is met • the lessee is paying back a part of the total investment cost up to an agreed residual value • at the end of the contract the lessee is not obliged to buy the lease object (risk of the residual value remains with the lessor) • In case of an operate lease, Lessee has no liabilities in his books (therefore a better credit rating) – but residual value risk of Lessor

  8. Balance Sheet in case of Operate Leasing Operate leasing: real estate is in the balance of Lessor Lessor: Lessee: “off balance” balance balance - - -refinancing -real estate P&L P&L -depreciation-interests -lease instalments -lease instalment / rent

  9. Balance Sheet in case of Operate Leasing Depreciation • In case of operate leasing, the residual value of the leasing contract is equal to the bookkeeping value of the lease object. • for example: • industrial buildings: 40-60 years • office buildings: 40-60 years • production halls: 16-24 years • warehouse / retail: 24-48 years

  10. Different types of Real Estate Leasing 3. Sale & Lease back: Owner of a property sells to a leasing company at market value. The leasing company leases back the property to the lessee. This results in a higher liquidity in the company and the client can invest in other projects. At the end of the duration of the lease, the client can become owner of the property again.
