Note 8. Leases
The Company enters into operating leases for its corporate office, temporary offices, vehicles and equipment. In addition, the Company may enter into arrangements whereby portions of the leased premises are subleased to third parties and are classified as operating leases.
In February 2025, the Company executed a sublease for a portion of its corporate office through April 2027. The components of lease operating income which are primarily included as reductions to R&D and selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
In May 2023, the Company executed a lease for its facility in Milford, Ohio, with a term through 2028 including the option to extend the term for up to two consecutive terms of three years, which was not reasonably certain to be exercised at the commencement date.
In December 2021, the Company amended the lease for its corporate office. This amendment increased the amount of space under the original lease, adjusted the monthly lease payments, and decreased the term of the lease to April 2027. The lease amendment includes the option to extend the term for up to two consecutive terms of five years, which was not reasonably certain to be exercised at the modification date.

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.
