(1)Operating lease costs includes both cash and non-cash expenses for operating leases. The operating lease costs associated with our locations are recognized evenly over the lease term, therefore, the timing of the expense may differ from the timing of actual cash payments. Cash payments and lease costs can differ due to (a) the timing of cash payments relative to the level expense, (b)
non-cash adjustments as a result of purchase accounting, and (c) various other non-cash adjustments to lease costs. Please see the table below for cash paid for amounts included within our lease liabilities.
(2)Percentage rental costs for our locations primarily represents leases where we pay an extra rental amount based on a percentage of revenue in excess of predetermined revenue thresholds.
(3)Equipment and other operating lease costs primarily represents operating leases costs for equipment leases, common area maintenance charges, and other variable lease costs for operating leases where the lease payments escalate based on an index or rate.
(4)Variable occupancy costs primarily represents utilities, property insurance, and real estate taxes.
(5)Other lease costs primarily includes short-term lease costs and other variable payments for various equipment leases.
(6)Sublease income primarily represents short-term leases with pro-shops and various retail tenants.

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.
