Purpose - This study aims to analyze and provide empirical evidence regarding the influence of lease assets and lease liabilities on profit, resulting from the implementation of IFRS 16 in airline companies in the Southeast Asian region. IFRS 16 fundamentally changes lease accounting by requiring all lease contracts—both operating and financial—to be recognized on the balance sheet. This change has a significant impact on the aviation sector in Southeast Asia, a region which intensively uses leasing schemes to procure aircraft fleets and supporting assets.
Research Methods - This research employed a quantitative approach, using a sample of 12 airline companies in Southeast Asia over five-year period (2020-2024).
Findings - The results showed that lease assets and lease liabilities had no significant impact on profit. This finding indicates that although IFRS 16 changes the financial structure and recognition, its impact on operational profitability is not immediately apparent, likely due to factors such as operational efficiency, management policies, and external dynamics in the aviation industry.
Limitations / Implications - This research is limited to two variables related to corporate profits and is examined over a five-year period (2020-2024). Furthermore, profit is measured using only one indicator, namely EBITDA.
Originality – Previous research examining the impact of lease assets and lease liabilities on corporate profits following the adoption of IFRS 16 has focused more on company characteristics, industry types, and developed countries. Meanwhile, this study fills this gap by using a developing country as its subject.
