Operating lease payments exclude $15.1 million of minimum lease payments for executed real estate leases that we have not yet taken possession. In addition to the above operating leases, as of December 29, 2020 we had one finance lease with a right-of-use asset balance and lease liability balance of $1.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The right-of-use asset balance is included as a component of other assets and the lease liability balance as a component of other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

In 2020, we entered into a sale leaseback transaction involving land that had recently been acquired. The sale generated proceeds of $2.2 million and no gain or loss was recognized on the transaction. The resulting operating lease is included in the operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities noted above.

We recognize operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities for real estate leases, including our restaurant leases and Support Center lease, as well as certain restaurant equipment leases based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. We estimate the present value based on our incremental borrowing rate which corresponds to the underlying lease term. In addition, operating lease right-of-use assets are reduced for accrued rent

and increased for any initial direct costs recognized at lease inception. For leases commencing in 2019 and later, we account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

Certain of our operating leases contain predetermined fixed escalations of the minimum rent over the lease term. For these leases, we recognize the related rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We may receive rent concessions or leasehold improvement incentives upon opening a restaurant that is subject to a lease which we consider when determining straight-line rent expense. We also may receive rent holidays, which would begin on the possession date and end when the store opens, during which no cash rent payments are typically due under the terms of the lease. Rent holidays are included in the lease term when determining straight-line rent expense. In recognizing straight-line rent expense, we record the difference between amounts charged to operations and amounts paid as accrued rent. Straight-line rent expense is included as an operating lease cost in the table above.

Certain of our operating leases contain clauses that provide for additional contingent rent based on a percentage of sales greater than certain specified target amounts. We recognize contingent rent expense prior to the achievement of the specified target that triggers the contingent rent, provided achievement of the target is considered probable. In addition, certain of our operating leases have variable escalations of the minimum rent that depend on an index or rate. For these leases, we recognize operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities based on the index or rate at the commencement date. Any subsequent changes to the index or rate are recognized as variable rent expense when the escalation is determinable. Contingent rent and variable rent expense are included as variable lease costs in the table above.

Rent expense for operating leases for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2018 consisted of the following:


Minimum rent—occupancy	$	47,741
Contingent rent		1,050
Rent expense, occupancy		48,791
Minimum rent—equipment and other		6,176
Rent expense	$	54,967
