In 2017, the Company signed a 15 year lease agreement for office space in San Francisco, California, to serve as its corporate headquarters which commenced in 2018. The Company's obligations under the lease are supported by a $24.1 million letter of credit, which reduced the borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2023, the Company's remaining minimum obligation for its headquarters was $520.3 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company announced a Virtual First work model pursuant to which remote work has become the primary experience for all of its employees. As part of the Virtual First strategy, Dropbox retained a portion of its office space to be used for the Company’s team collaboration use and a portion will be marketed for sublease. The Company evaluated certain of its right-of-use assets and other lease related assets including leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, and computer equipment for impairment under ASC 360.

In connection with this analysis, the Company reassessed its real estate asset groups and estimated the fair value of the office space to be subleased using current market conditions. Where the carrying value of the individual asset groups exceeded their fair value, an impairment charge was recognized for the difference.

The Company recorded total impairment charges of zero and $2.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $4.0 million and $12.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, for right-of-use and other lease related assets.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company has a $19.2 million commitment for an operating lease that has not yet commenced, and therefore is not included in the right-of-use asset or operating lease liability. This operating lease will commence in 2024 with a lease term of 6.5 years.
