Adoption of ASC Topic 842, "Leases"
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 using the modified retrospective method applied to leases that were in place as of January 1, 2019. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under Topic 842, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 840. The Company's portfolio of leases contains both finance and operating leases that relate primarily to real estate agreements and manufacturing equipment agreements. Substantially all of the value of the Company's lease portfolio relates to a real estate master lease agreement with Store Master Funding XII, LLC, an affiliate of Store Capital Corporation ("Store") that was entered into in 2016 and amended with the 2018 MUSA-Galvanized and 2019 American Stainless acquisitions. As of June 30, 2019, operating lease liabilities related to the master lease agreement with Store totaled $37,053,119, or 97 percent of the total lease liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Practical Expedients and Elections
The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed us to carryforward our historical lease classification, our assessment on whether a contract is or contains a lease, and our initial direct costs for any leases that exist prior to adoption of the new standard. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases. We also elected to combine lease and non-lease components and elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify.
Deferred Gain on Sale Leaseback
On January 1, 2019, the Company recorded cumulative-effect adjustments to increase equity and deferred tax assets totaling $4,622,500 and $1,310,850, respectively, related to the derecognition of the deferred gain on its sale leaseback, consistent with transition guidance set forth in ASC 842-10-65-1.
Discount Rate
To determine the present value of minimum future lease payments for operating leases at January 1, 2019, the Company was required to estimate a rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment (the "incremental borrowing rate" or "IBR"). The Company determined the appropriate IBR by identifying a reference rate and making adjustments that take into consideration financing options and certain lease-specific circumstances. For the reference rate, treasury rates for five years, 10 years, and 30 years were used as they cover the periods of the leases. The Company additionally used the Damodaran Credit Rating Model, which assesses a credit rating based on the interest coverage ratio and relates this to credit ratings of other large public manufacturers. Inputs required include EBIT, interest expense, future minimum lease payments, outstanding debt, and a reference rate. Based on this assessment of the aforementioned qualitative and quantitative factors, the Company determined that 7.32 percent was an appropriate incremental borrowing rate to apply to its portfolio of real-estate operating leases. The Company elected to utilize a single discount rate for its portfolio of operating leases because of similar lease characteristics; the resulting calculation does not differ materially from applying the standard to the individual leases.
Weighted average discount rates for operating and finance leases are as follows:
Operating Leases
7.32

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities totaled $4,900,243.

Because the Company is reasonably certain to not exercise these renewal options, the options are not considered in determining the lease term and associated potential option payments are excluded from lease payments. The Master Lease includes a rent escalator equal to the lesser of 1.25 times the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index since the previous increase or 2 percent.
