Leases
The Company leases various office and research and development facilities under operating lease agreements that expire at various dates through October 2073 and generally contain periodic rent increases and various renewal and termination options. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company is responsible for certain insurance, property taxes and maintenance expenses. In fiscal year 2022, the Company adopted ASC 842, recognizing operating lease right-of-use asset and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and continuing accreting rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the operating leases. Rent expense for 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $9.8 million, $7.7 million and $7.0 million, respectively.

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.
