Depreciation Expense
While the Company leases the majority of its property, plant, and equipment to various tenants under operating leases, in certain situations, the Company owns and operates certain property, plant, and equipment for general corporate purposes. Corporate assets are recorded within other assets within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and depreciation expense for those assets is recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $45 million and $38 million of corporate assets, respectively. Also included within other assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $10 million and $8 million, respectively, of accumulated depreciation related to corporate assets. Included within general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 was $3 million, $2 million, and $3 million, respectively, of depreciation expense related to corporate assets.
Tenant Updates
During the first quarter of 2023, the Company wrote off $9 million of straight-line rent receivable associated with four in-place operating leases with Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. (“Sorrento”), which commenced voluntary reorganization proceedings (the “Filing”) under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code during the period. This write-off was recognized as a reduction in rental and related revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Subsequent to the write-off, revenue related to this tenant was recognized on a cash basis. Sorrento also had a single development lease with the Company, but had not taken occupancy at the time of the Filing. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company filed proofs of claims for damages related to its rejected leases, which include the development lease and three of the four operating leases, $4 million of which was received by the Company by drawing on Sorrento’s letters of credit and security deposits. These cash proceeds were recognized as lease termination fee income, which is included in rental and related revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
On October 26, 2023, the Company amended its lease with Graphite Bio, Inc., which later merged with LENZ Therapeutics, Inc. in March 2024 (“Graphite Bio”), at one of its lab buildings in South San Francisco, California. Under the terms of the amended lease agreement, Graphite Bio’s lease expiration date was accelerated from April 2033 to December 2024 in exchange for an upfront cash payment of $37 million, comprised of a $21 million termination fee and $16 million prepayment of Graphite Bio’s contractual rent through the amended term. The $37 million was recognized as rental and related revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis through the amended term of the lease.
In July 2024, the Company executed an early lease renewal for approximately 2 million square feet leased by CommonSpirit Health (“CommonSpirit”). The renewal, which is subject to a master agreement, extended the weighted average lease term of existing leases from July 2027 to December 2035, amended the contractual rents to current market rates, and increased the annual contractual lease escalations from 2.5% to 3.0%. In connection with this extension, CommonSpirit was provided the right to reduce the amount of space leased by up to approximately 200,000 square feet at any time after the original lease maturity dates. These termination rights were evaluated for likelihood of exercise in accordance with ASC 842 in the determination of the lease term. During the year ended December 31, 2025, CommonSpirit represented 6% of revenues for the outpatient medical segment and 3% of total revenues.

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.
