EAGLE FINANCIAL SERVICES INC Leases Disclosure
NOTE 13. Leases
The Company leases certain office properties and equipment used in its operations in the normal course of business. Leases greater than 12 months in duration are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at the lease commencement date and are classified as either operating or finance leases based on the Company's assessment of the underlying agreement. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company completed a sales-leaseback transaction for its operating center and branch property in Winchester, Virginia. This long-term lease agreement resulted in the initial recognition of a right-of-use asset and lease liability of $5.5 million.
Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments and are presented at each reporting date as the net present value of the remaining contractual cash flows. Cash flows are discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate in effect at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and are calculated as the sum of the lease liability and if applicable, prepaid rent, initial direct costs and any incentives received from the lessor.
The Company has five long-term lease agreements for office properties which are all classified as operating leases. These leases offer the option to extend the lease term and the Company has included such extensions in its calculation of the lease liability to the extent the options are reasonably certain of being exercised. These lease agreements do not provide for residual value guarantees and have no restrictions or covenants that would impact dividends or require incurring additional financial obligations. Right-of-use assets and leases liabilities are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

About Leases Disclosures
Lease disclosures under ASC 842 provide a comprehensive view of a company's leased asset portfolio, including the split between operating and finance leases, discount rates used to present-value future payments, and the maturity schedule of lease obligations. This section reveals a significant source of off-balance-sheet commitments that were largely hidden before the current standard.
Key signals: the weighted-average discount rate affects the size of recorded lease liabilities — a higher rate reduces the reported obligation, so compare the chosen rate against the company's incremental borrowing rate. The operating versus finance lease mix affects both EBITDA and operating income presentation. Watch the maturity table for concentration risk: large payment cliffs in specific years may create cash flow pressure. Variable lease payments excluded from the liability measurement represent real obligations that do not appear on the balance sheet. Compare total lease costs against prior-year operating lease expense to assess the true economic burden.
