6 Leases
Swisscom has applied IFRS 16 “Leases” as at 1 January 2019 and chose the modified retrospective approach for the first-time application. With this approach, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were recognised in the same amount in the balance sheet. For further information, see Note 1, change in accounting principles.
The leases of Swisscom comprise, in particular, the rental of operation and office buildings, of antenna sites and of network infrastructure. The Italian subsidiary Fastweb sources various access services from other fixed-line operators for use of the access lines to the end customer. Under IFRS 16 part of these access services is classified as a lease. The value of the individual access line fulfils the criteria of an asset of low value. Swisscom will apply the low value exemption of IFRS 16 for these lease arrangements. Accordingly, no right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognised for these access services. the costs of which will be reported as direct costs.
