Commitments
In September 2018, the Company entered into a lease for its new corporate headquarters in Bridgewater, New Jersey. The initial lease term commenced in October 2019 and expires in September 2030. In July 2016, the Company signed an operating lease for laboratory space, also located in Bridgewater, for which the initial lease term was extended through December 2026. In July 2023, the Company signed an amendment to expand the laboratory space in Bridgewater until 2027. In January 2022, the Company entered into a lease for research activities in San Diego, California. The lease term commenced in February 2022 and expires in June 2032. In February 2023, the Company signed an agreement to lease warehouse space in San Diego through March 2029. Future minimum rental payments under the Bridgewater leases and San Diego leases are $23.1 million and $23.9 million, respectively.
Rent expense charged to operations was $9.2 million, $8.0 million, and $4.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the applicable leases.
In addition to rent, the Company has several firm purchase commitments, primarily related to the manufacturing of ARIKAYCE and annual minimum royalties on global net sales of ARIKAYCE. Future firm purchase commitments under these agreements, the last of which ends in 2034, total $92.7 million. These amounts do not represent the Company's entire anticipated purchases in the future, but instead represent only purchases that are the subject of contractually obligated minimum purchases. The minimum commitments disclosed are determined based on non-cancelable minimum spend amounts or termination amounts. Additionally, the Company purchases products and services as needed with no firm commitment.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company is a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcomes of these matters are uncertain, management does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
