Lease term and discount rate
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
| December 27, 2025 | | December 28, 2024 | | December 30, 2023 |
| Weighted-average remaining lease term (in years) | | | | | |
| Operating lease | 8.8 | | 9.5 | | 9.6 |
| Finance lease | 10.8 | | 11.4 | | 12.7 |
| Weighted-average discount rate | | | | | |
| Operating lease | 5.1 | % | | 5.1 | % | | 4.7 | % |
| Finance lease | 5.4 | % | | 5.3 | % | | 5.3 | % |
At the lease commencement date, the discount rate implicit in the lease is used to discount the lease liability if readily determinable. If not readily determinable or leases do not contain an implicit rate, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used as the discount rate, which is based on the information available at the lease commencement date and represents a rate that would be incurred to borrow, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.
