chicory (sep/dec 2017)- question ratelated to lease

in this answer to the question number 2: https://www.chinaacc.com/upload/html/2018/04/27/hocb5390c7c2844ca0a37b85131028f502.pdf have the following paragragh:

“EBITDA does, however, ignore the replacement costs of these assets. This might limit the usefulness of comparisons between Chicory and Fennel if one were to lease non-current assets and the other to purchase them. The introduction of a new accounting standard on the treatment of leases may, however, remove this limitation”
I donot understand the sentence :”The introduction of a new accounting standard on the treatment of leases may, however, remove this limitation”?. Please explain me more about this. Thanks!
