LEASES
We lease office space facilities and equipment under non-cancelable operating and finance leases with various expiration dates, some of which contain renewal options. The Company's lease portfolio is comprised of two major classes. The lease of the Ashburn facility is accounted for as a finance lease. Under this lease agreement, the basic rent increases by a fixed 2.5% escalation annually, expiring on May 28, 2029. The other office spaces and equipment leased are accounted for as operating leases.

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.
