STURM RUGER & CO INC Leases Disclosure

8.	Leased Assets

 

The Company leases certain of its real estate and equipment. The Company has evaluated all its leases and determined that all are operating leases under the definitions of the guidance of ASU 2016-02. The Company’s lease agreements generally do not require material variable lease payments, residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.

 

The Company uses the effective interest method to record right-of-use assets equal to the present value of the contractual liability for future lease payments. The table below presents the right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025:

 

		Balance Sheet Line Item		December 31, 2025				December 31, 2024
Right-of-use assets		Other assets		$	1,805			$	2,345
Operating lease liabilities
Current portion		Trade accounts payable and accrued expenses		$	647			$	598
Noncurrent portion		Lease liabilities			1,158				1,747
Total operating lease liabilities				$	1,805			$	2,345

 

The depreciable lives of right-of-use assets are limited by the lease term and are amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the lease.

 

The Company’s leases generally do not provide an implicit interest rate, and therefore the Company calculates an incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of its operating lease liabilities.

 

The table below includes cash paid for our operating lease liabilities, other non-cash information, our weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate:

 

		Year Ended
		December 31, 2025				December 31, 2024
Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities		$	540			$	796
Cash amounts paid for short-term leases		$	492			$	449

Certain of the Company’s lease agreements contain renewal options at the Company’s discretion. The Company does not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for leases of one year or less or for renewal periods unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the renewal option at the inception of the lease or when a triggering event occurs. The Company’s weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases as of December 31, 2025 is 6.3 years.
