The Company leases certain properties and equipment for its ADMA BioCenters and ADMA BioManufacturing subsidiaries, which leases provide the right to use the underlying assets and require lease payments through the respective lease terms which expire at various dates through 2033. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Upon adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) effective January 1, 2019, the Company elected the package of practical expedients, which permits the Company to not reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. In addition, the Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for qualifying leases.
The Company determines if an arrangement is an operating lease or a financing lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and lease expense for such leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. All other leases are recorded on the balance sheet with assets representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities representing the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term and include options to extend or terminate the lease when they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The present value of the lease payments is determined using the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate as of the lease commencement date. There were no new material leases entered into during the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. For the lease liabilities recognized during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company used discount rates of 13% to 16%, representing a weighted average discount rate of 13.02%, to determine the present value of its lease obligations. The Company’s operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is reflected in plasma center operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Aggregate lease expense for the Company’s operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $2.4 million, $2.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively. Aggregate cash paid on these leases for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $2.5 million, $2.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
The Company has aggregate lease liabilities of $7.7 million and $9.8 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which are primarily comprised primarily of leases for the Company’s plasma collection centers. The Company’s operating leases have a weighted average remaining term of 5.77 years. Scheduled payments under the Company’s lease obligations are as follows (in thousands):
