As of December 31, 2025, operating lease payments for leases that have not yet commenced totaled $70 million, which includes the synthetic lease arrangements discussed below. These operating leases will commence in the next 7 months with lease terms of 2 to 12 years. Most of these leases have not commenced because the assets are in the process of being constructed.
Synthetic Lease Arrangements
In the fourth quarter of 2024, we entered into two synthetic leases to finance the construction of salvage yard facilities, with an aggregate estimated cost of approximately $100 million. These leases have an aggregate future lease commitment of approximately $35 million as of December 31, 2025. The leases will commence upon completion of construction of the facilities which are expected to be in 2026. Each lease term is five years after commencement. At the end of the leases' terms, we will be required to purchase the facilities or, in the event that option is not elected, to request to extend the leases, or vacate the property and relocate. Upon each lease commencement, the lease classification, right-of-use asset, and lease liability will be determined and recorded. Each lease arrangement contains a residual value guarantee of 100% of the total construction cost. The synthetic leases contain covenants that are consistent with our Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement. See Note 18, "Long-Term Obligations" for further information on our Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement.
