The Company as lessee The Company leases mainly real estate assets, cars and equipment (such as land, warehouses, storage facilities and offices). Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets refer mainly to IT equipment ( e.g. printers, laptops and mobile phones) and other equipment. The Company incurred interest expense on lease liabilities of €22 million. The expense in relation to short-term and low-value assets is insignificant. There are no significant variable lease payments included in the Company’s lease arrangements. The discount rate used to determine the right-of-use asset and the lease liability for each country and leased asset is calculated based on the incremental borrowing rate at inception of the lease. The Company calculated the rate applicable to each lease contract on the basis of the lease duration.

The maturity analysis of lease liabilities, based on contractual undiscounted cash flows is shown in “– Note 38.1: Financial Risk Management”. Real estate leases The Company leases land and bui ldings mainly for its operational business warehouses including logistic facilities, offices, production halls and laboratories. The major leases are located in France, Germany, Spain, the US and the UK. As lease contracts are negotiated on an individual basis, lease terms contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. Leases are typically made for a fixed period of 3-25 years and may include extension, termination and other options, which provide operational flexibility to the Company. In November 2019, additional clarifications were issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee. Consequently, economic terms should be taken into account when determining the enforceable period of a lease. Based on its lease portfolio, the Company considers that there are no economic consequences leading to a reassessment of the previously assessed enforceable period.
