Note 11—Leases


The Company’s operating leases consist primarily of real estate leases, including those entered into by certain wholly owned and majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries of RSL.


In September 2024, the Company’s subsidiary, Roivant Sciences, Inc. (“RSI”), entered into a lease agreement with One Penn Plaza LLC for office space in New York, NY to serve as the future U.S. corporate headquarters of RSI (the “One Penn Lease”). The One Penn Lease commenced in December 2024 and will expire in August 2041. The lease contains an option to early terminate in August 2036 and an option to extend the term for one additional period of 5 years or 10 years at then-market rates in August 2041. The options to early terminate or extend the lease term were not included in the lease term as it was not reasonably certain that they would be exercised at lease commencement. The lease is classified as an operating lease and includes a period of free rent and tenant improvement incentives. Upon lease commencement, the Company recognized an operating right-of-use asset and lease liability of approximately $49.1 million, net of lease incentives received.

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.
