As of December 31, 2021, finance lease receivables relate to the finance lease of:

  • Liza Destiny (FPSO), which started production in December 2019 for a charter of 10 years;
  • FPSO Cidade de Marica, which started production in February 2016 for a charter of 20 years;
  • FPSO Cidade de Saquarema, which started production in July 2016 for a charter of 20 years;
  • FPSO Cidade de Ilhabela, which started production in November 2014 for a charter of 20 years;
  • FPSO Cidade de Paraty, which started production in June 2013 for a charter of 20 years;
  • FPSO Aseng, which started production in November 2011 for a charter of 15 years;
  • FPSO Espirito Santo, which started production in January 2009 for a charter of 15 years until December 2023, and which was extended in December 2020 until December 2028.

The decrease in finance lease receivable is driven by the regular redemptions as per the payment plans of lease contracts.

Unguaranteed residual values

Included in the gross receivable is an amount related to unguaranteed residual values (i.e. scrap value of units). The total amount of unguaranteed residual values at the end of the lease term amounts to US$69 million as of December 31, 2021 (2020: US$49 million). The 2021 reassessment of unguaranteed residual values resulted in an impairment reversal of US$10 million due to the increase of scrap value of units.

As per the contractual terms, gross receivables should be invoiced to the lessee within the following periods:

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the finance lease receivables taking into account the risk of recoverability. The Company performed an assessment, which concluded that the credit risk for these receivables has not increased significantly since the initial recognition. The Company does not hold any collateral as security.

Purchase and termination options

The finance lease contracts of FPSO Aseng and Liza Destiny (FPSO), where the Company is the lessor, include call options for the client to purchase the underlying asset or to terminate the contract early. If the client would have exercised the purchase option for FPSO Aseng as of December 31, 2021 this would have resulted in a gain for the Company, while the exercise of the early termination option under which the Company would retain the vessel, would have resulted in a near breakeven result. If the client would have exercised the purchase option for Liza Destiny (FPSO) as of December 31, 2021 this would have resulted in a near breakeven result for the Company while the exercise of the early termination option under which the Company would retain the vessel would have resulted in a gain.

The finance lease contract of FPSO Espirito Santo includes a call option for the client to terminate the contract early without obtaining the underlying asset. The exercise of the early termination option would have resulted in a non-significant loss for the Company as of December 31, 2021.

The finance lease contracts of Liza Unity (FPSO), Prosperity (FPSO) (all under construction as per December 31, 2021) contain options for the client to purchase the underlying asset or terminate the contract early. These options are exercisable at any time starting from the delivery date of the vessel.
