Palladyne AI Corp. Leases Disclosure
4. Leases
The Company has operating and finance leases for office space, lab space, machining and certain equipment with varying expiration dates through 2035. Leases are categorized at their commencement date, which is the date the Company takes possession or control of the underlying asset. Certain of the operating leases include renewal options ranging from to ten years, which are not recognized as part of the right-of-use assets as the Company is not reasonably certain that the options will be exercised.
Lease costs for operating leases are as follows (finance lease costs were not material for the periods presented):

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.
