6. Operating Leases

The Company has various operating lease agreements for its offices and service delivery centers. The Company has determined that the risks and benefits related to the leased properties are retained by the lessors. Accordingly, these are accounted for as operating leases.

These lease agreements are for terms ranging from two to 11 years and, in most cases, provide for rental escalations ranging from 1.75% to 10%. Most of these agreements are renewable at the mutual consent of the parties in the contract.

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification ASU 2016-02, beginning January 1, 2019 and applied the practical expedients consistently for all of its leases. Accordingly, the Company:

Did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases.

Did not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases.

Did not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.

In addition, the Company elected to retrospectively determine the lease term and assess impairment of the right-of-use asset.

At the date of transition, the Company recognized an operating lease liability and right-of-use asset. The amount of lease liability is equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments as of January 1, 2019, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate of each respective country.

A right-of-use asset is measured as the amount of the lease liability adjusted for the amount of deferred straight-line rent, prepaid rent and lease incentive allowances previously recognized.

The table below summarizes the amounts recognized in the financial statements related to operating leases for the periods presented (in thousands):
