Leases
The Company has entered into various non-cancelable operating leases for its facilities expiring through 2036. Certain lease agreements contain an option for the Company to renew a lease for a term of up to three years or an option to terminate a lease early within one year. The Company considers these options, which may be elected at the Company’s sole discretion, in determining the lease term on a lease-by-lease basis.
Lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, with variable lease payments recognized in the period those payments are incurred.
Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $68.2 million, $49.5 million, and $43.5 million, respectively.
Sub-lease income is recorded as a credit to rent expense. The Company recorded an immaterial amount of sub-lease income for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
