Leases [Abstract] |
Leases | 9. Leases We lease real estate, equipment and automobiles in the U.S. and internationally. Our real estate leases, which are responsible for the majority of our aggregate ROU asset and liability balances, include leases for office space, data centers and other facilities, and as of January 29, 2021, have remaining lease terms of up to 15 years. Some of these leases contain options that allow us to extend or terminate the lease agreement. Our equipment leases are primarily for servers and networking equipment and as of January 29, 2021, have remaining lease terms of up to 4 years. As of January 29, 2021, our automobile leases have remaining lease terms of up to 5 years. All our leases are classified as operating leases except for certain immaterial equipment finance leases. In June 2020, we entered into a build-to-suit lease agreement for an office building with future undiscounted payments of approximately $67 million. Because the Company does not control the underlying asset during the construction period, the Company is not considered the owner of the asset under construction for accounting purposes. The lease will commence upon completion of the construction of the office building which is expected to be in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The initial term of the lease is twenty years with options to renew the lease during the lease term. An ROU asset and related lease liability will be measured and recognized in our financial statements in the period the lease commences. The components of lease cost related to our operating leases were as follows (in millions):
