Impairment of operating lease right-of-use assets of $0.7 million was recorded during 2024 related to Armor exit costs. In October 2025, the Company entered into a sublease agreement (the “Sublease”) with Hayes Performance Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Hayes”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sublease to Hayes all of the premises the Company currently leases under its Industrial Lease Agreement dated August 19, 2021 with SLS Industrial Portfolio Owner SLCP, LLC (the “Prime Lease”). The Sublease term commenced on November 1, 2025, and expires on October 31, 2031, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the Sublease or upon termination of the Prime Lease. Under the Sublease, Hayes will pay the Company base rent ranging from approximately $9,700 per month during the first year of the Sublease to approximately $11,300 per month during the final year of the term, plus its proportionate share of operating expenses and taxes, currently estimated at $0.25 per rentable square foot per month. The Sublease provides for a three-month rent deferral totaling approximately $29,200, which will be repaid in six equal monthly installments beginning February 1, 2026. The Sublease is structured as a triple-net arrangement under which Hayes will be responsible for substantially all costs associated with the Subleased Premises, including utilities, maintenance, and insurance.

The Company accounts for lease components separately from the non-lease components. The depreciable life of the assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term.

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.
