Lease Impairment
Long-lived assets, including lease right-of-use assets, are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable. As a result of triggering events identified for our Mexico facility lease during the fourth quarter of 2025, we tested the lease right-of-use asset for recoverability by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the asset group to its carrying value and concluded that a quantitative impairment assessment was required.
Based on our quantitative impairment assessment, we concluded our Mexico facility lease right-of-use asset’s carrying value exceeded its estimated fair value. As a result, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge to the lease right-of-use asset of $1.9 million. The impairment charges was recorded in the “Restructuring and impairment charges” line item in the consolidated statements of operations.

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.
