Total assets were MNOK 1 706 at the end of the quarter with an equity ratio of 23%,

Implementation of IFRS 16 results in almost all leases being recognized on the balance sheet, as the distinction between operating and finance leases is removed. Under the new standard, an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals are recognized. The only exceptions are short-term and low-value leases. The accounting for lessors will not significantly change.
The impact of IFRS 16 is that implementation of the standard results in significant leases that previously were treated as operating leases, wherein costs were recorded as operating cost, are now treated as financial leases. Therefore, a lease obligation, and an equivalent asset (right to use) is recognized on the balance sheet. Lease expenses according to IFRS 16 is in the form of depreciation and interest expense instead of as operating expenses as under the previous standard. The effect of implementation of the standard is increased assets and increased liabilities, and operating profit before depreciation, financial items and tax (EBITDA) will be improved.
The group has adopted the standard from 01.01.2019 using the Simplified approach. The group has implemented the standard by applying the exceptions in the standard to exclude short-term and low-value leases. When considering the relevant rental period in the lease contracts, options to extend the contracts are included to the extent that they are very likely to be exercised. When calculating the present value of the lease contracts alternative borrowing rates for similar assets in similar economic environments are applied as discount rate.
The implementation effect of IFRS 16 as at 1st of January 2019 was increased assets "right of use" of the amount MNOK 70, corresponding to an increased liability, lease obligation, of the amount MNOK 70. The effect on Profit and Loss for 2019 compared to what would have been the case using the previous standard, is estimated to the following; operating cost decreases by MNOK 17, Depreciation increases by MNOK 16, Financial cost increases by MNOK 3, and thus EBT decreases by MNOK 2.
The difference between irrevocable operating leasing liabilities in note 22 of the annual accounts for 2018 of MNOK 81 and the implementation effect of IFRS 16 as at 1st January 2019 of MNOK 70 is related to the discounting effect when calculating the lease obligation.
The implementation of IFRS 16 has no cashflow impact.
No events have occurred after the reporting date that are of significant impact when considering the financial position or result in the group as of 31.03.2019.
