Leases [Abstract]  
Leases LeasesThe Company’s lease portfolio includes various contracts for real estate, vehicles, information technology and other equipment. At contract inception, a lease exists if the contract conveys the right to control an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is considered to exist when the lessee has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of an identified asset, as well as the right to direct the use of that asset. If a contract is considered to be a lease, the Company recognizes a lease liability based on the present value of the future lease payments, and a corresponding right-of-use asset. As a majority of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate within the lease, an incremental borrowing rate is used to determine the ROU asset and lease liability which is based on information available at the commencement date. Options to purchase, extend or terminate a lease are included in the ROU asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain an option will be exercised. Renewal options are most prevalent in the Company’s real estate leases. In general, the Company has not included renewal options for leases in the ROU asset and lease liability because
Note 8.   Leases (continued)

the likelihood of renewal was not determined to be reasonably certain. In addition, leases may include variable lease payments, for items such as maintenance and utilities, which are expensed as incurred as variable lease expense.

There are two types of leases, operating leases and finance leases. Lease classification is determined at lease commencement. Leases not meeting the finance lease criteria are classified as operating leases. Effective October 1, 2019, ROU assets and corresponding lease liabilities are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. ROU assets for operating leases are classified in other assets, and ROU assets for finance leases are classified in property, plant and equipment, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For operating leases, short-term lease liabilities are classified in other current liabilities, and long-term lease liabilities are classified in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For finance leases, short-term lease liabilities are classified in long-term debt, current maturities, and long-term lease liabilities are classified in long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Leases with an initial lease term of twelve months or less have not been recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Reporting periods prior to October 1, 2019 continue to be presented in accordance with previous lease accounting guidance under GAAP.

The following table presents the balance sheet and lease classification for the Company's lease portfolio:
Balance Sheet Classification Lease Classification March 31, 2020
Non-current assets:
Property, plant and equipment, net Finance    $ 3,194   
Other assets Operating    79,563   
Total lease assets $ 82,757   
Current liabilities:
Long-term debt, current maturities Finance    $ 1,077   
Other current liabilities Operating    26,098   
Non-current liabilities:
Long-term debt Finance    4,171   
Other liabilities Operating    54,295   
Total lease liabilities $ 85,641   

Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an operating expense, while the expense for finance leases is recognized as depreciation expense and interest expense using the interest method of recognition. On the cash flow statement, payments for operating leases are classified as operating activities. Payments for finance leases are classified as a financing activity, with the exception of the interest component of the payment which is classified as an operating activity.

The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components for all asset classes. In addition, the Company elected the practical expedient to utilize a portfolio approach for certain equipment asset classes, primarily information technology, as the application of the lease model to the portfolio would not differ materially from the application of the lease model to the individual leases within the portfolio.

Maturities of lease obligations by fiscal year were as follows as of March 31, 2020:
