The Company leases buildings for its office spaces across the globe. Lease terms typically range from 1 to 15 years and had a weighted average remaining lease term of 6.6 years at December 31, 2022 (2021 - 7.3 years). To provide operational flexibility, the Company includes extension and termination options in certain leases.

The Company leases vehicles and office equipment with terms typically ranging from 2 to 7 years and had a weighted average remaining lease term of 3.2 years at December 31, 2022 (2021 - 3.4 years).

The Company also leases IT equipment and other equipment with terms typically ranging from 1 to 5 years. These leases are generally short-term or for low-value assets that the Company has elected not to recognize in lease assets and lease liabilities.

The Company's acquisition integration activities and initiatives to optimize office space led to the approval of formal plans to sublease and exit certain underutilized office spaces. These changes in use resulted in the recognition of impairment losses, where the carrying amount of the assets exceeded the recoverable amount, determined based on the value in use method, and an onerous contract provision of $19.0 (2021 - $12.5) (note 17). Subsequent payments made for variable costs on impaired office lease assets reduced the estimated future cash outflows and increased the recoverable amount of the leased assets resulting in the reversal of previously recorded impairments.
