Note 7
LEASES
Operating leases in which the Company is the lessee are recorded as operating
 
lease right of use (“ROU”) assets and operating
liabilities, included in
other assets
 
and
liabilities
, respectively,
 
on its Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.
 
Operating lease ROU assets represent the Company’s
 
right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and operating lease
liabilities represent the Company’s
 
obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
 
ROU assets and operating lease
liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of
 
the remaining lease payments using a discount rate
that represents the Company’s incremental
 
borrowing rate at the lease commencement date.
 
Operating lease expense, which is
comprised of amortization of the ROU asset and the implicit interest accreted
 
on the operating lease liability,
 
is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in occupancy expense in
 
the Consolidated Statement of Income.
 
The Company’s operating
 
leases primarily relate to banking offices with remaining lease terms
 
from
one
 
to
forty-two years
.
 
The
Company’s leases are not complex
 
and do not contain residual value guarantees, variable lease payments, or
 
significant
assumptions or judgments made in applying the requirements of ASC Topic
 
842.
 
Operating leases with an initial term of 12
months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition
 
and the related lease expense is recognized
on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
 
At December 31, 2025, the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities were $
26.3
million and $
26.9
 
million, respectively.
 
At December 31, 2024, the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities were $
24.9
 
million
and $
25.5
 
million, respectively. The
 
Company recognized $
0.1
 
million and $
0.7
 
million of rental income during the 12 months
ended December 31, 2025 and 2024,
 
respectively, for a lease that terminated
 
in February 2025. The Company does not have any
finance leases.

About Leases Disclosures

Lease disclosures under ASC 842 provide a comprehensive view of a company's leased asset portfolio, including the split between operating and finance leases, discount rates used to present-value future payments, and the maturity schedule of lease obligations. This section reveals a significant source of off-balance-sheet commitments that were largely hidden before the current standard.

Key signals: the weighted-average discount rate affects the size of recorded lease liabilities — a higher rate reduces the reported obligation, so compare the chosen rate against the company's incremental borrowing rate. The operating versus finance lease mix affects both EBITDA and operating income presentation. Watch the maturity table for concentration risk: large payment cliffs in specific years may create cash flow pressure. Variable lease payments excluded from the liability measurement represent real obligations that do not appear on the balance sheet. Compare total lease costs against prior-year operating lease expense to assess the true economic burden.
