Lessor Leases

The Company leases a portion of its facilities in Winston-Salem, North Carolina under agreements that are classified as operating leases. In addition to the rental payments, tenants pay a fixed rate for their pro rata share of real estate taxes, insurance and other facility operating expenses. These amounts are recognized as revenues on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases. For leasing revenues where collectability is not considered probable, lease income is recognized on a cash basis and all previously recognized tenant accounts receivables, including straight-line rent, are fully reserved in the period in which the lease income is determined not to be probable of collection. These lease agreements terminate between 2026 and 2029.

The leasing revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $893,000 and $76,000, respectively. There was no such revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023. Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2025 excluding the effect of straight-line rent and variable rental payments are as follows (in thousands):

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.
