In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which introduced a lessee model that requires the majority of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the ASU using the modified retrospective transition approach and elected the transition option to recognize the adjustment in the period of adoption rather than in the earliest period presented. Adoption of the new guidance resulted in the initial recognition of right-of-use (ROU) assets of $661 million, ROU lease liabilities of $774 million and the elimination of $113 million of straight-line lease liabilities.
The Company records ROU assets and liabilities for non-cancelable operating leases primarily for real estate and equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Expense related to leases is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including rent holidays. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized operating lease expense of $203 million.
The following table sets forth the ROU assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2019 ($ in millions):
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company reduced its operating lease liabilities by $227 million for cash paid. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2019, new operating leases commenced resulting in the recognition of ROU assets and liabilities of $162 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had additional operating leases that have not yet commenced of $101 million, which included two significant leases executed during the third quarter. These operating leases will commence in 2020 with lease terms of 5 to 10 years.
