F.LEASES

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We lease certain real estate under non-cancelable operating lease agreements with typical original terms ranging from one to ten years. We are required to pay real estate taxes and other occupancy costs under certain leases, which are variable in nature and not included in the right of use asset or lease liability. Certain leases carry renewal options of five to fifteen years. We believe that future leases will likely have similar terms.  We also lease motor vehicles, equipment, and an aircraft under operating lease agreements for periods of one to ten years.  We do not typically enter into leases with residual value guarantees. There were no restrictions or covenants imposed by any lease agreements.

We believe finance leases have no significant impact to our consolidated balance sheet and statement of earnings as of December 25, 2021.

As of December 25, 2021, we have no leases that have not yet commenced that would significantly impact the rights, obligations, and our financial position.

There were no lease transactions between related parties as of December 25, 2021.

The rates implicit in our leases are primarily not readily available. To determine the discount rate used to present value the lease payments, we utilize the 7-year treasury note rate plus a blend of rate spreads associated with our revolver and 10-12-year senior notes along with estimated spreads based on current market conditions.  We feel the determined rate is a reasonable representation of our lease population.
