10. Leases

 

Following the closing of the MannKind Transaction in the third quarter of 2024, in which the Company assigned its former lease to MannKind, the Company has operated as a virtual company. The Company entered into a short-term agreement to maintain a corporate address at 945 Concord Street, Framingham, Massachusetts. No lease liability or right-of-use asset has been recorded for this short-term lease, and the short-term lease cost associated with this lease is immaterial.

On May 28, 2024, as part of the MannKind Transaction (see further discussion in Note 5, Significant Agreements), the Company and the Landlord executed the Lease Assignment Agreement to assign the Lease Agreement to MannKind in July 2024. The Company accounted for the Lease Assignment Agreement as a lease modification that reduced the lease term to the assignment date in July 2024. Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company remeasured its lease liability as of the modification date to reflect the decrease in fixed lease payments, with the amount of the remeasurement, $8.4 million, adjusted by a corresponding reduction to the right-of-use asset.

 

Following the closing of the MannKind Transaction, $1.4 million of restricted cash was released in August 2024, which had been held in a depository account at a financial institution to collateralize a conditional stand-by letter of credit related to the Lease Agreement.

 

The components of lease expense for the Company for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024 were as follows:

 

   2025   2024

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.
