Leases [Abstract] |
Leases | Leases We have operating and finance leases for properties, including manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and office space; as well as vehicles and certain equipment. We make certain judgments in determining whether a contract contains a lease in accordance with ASU 2016-02. Our leases have remaining lease terms of less than 1 year to 20 years, some of which include options to extend the lease for a period of up to 15 years and some include options to terminate the leases within 1 year. We do not assume renewals in our determination of the lease term unless the renewals are deemed to be reasonably certain as of the commencement date of the lease. Our lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees, and our variable lease payments were $3.5 million and $3.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We have entered into various short-term operating leases with an initial term of twelve months or less. These leases are not recorded on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 or 2023, and the rent expense for short-term leases was not material. We have certain property and equipment lease contracts that may contain lease and non-lease components, and we have elected to utilize the practical expedient to account for these components together as a single combined lease component. As the rate implicit in most of our leases is not readily determinable, we use the incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments, which is unique to each leased asset and is based upon the term, commencement date, location, and local currency of the leased asset as well as the credit rating of the legal entity leasing the asset. The components of lease expense were as follows:

In addition, we guaranteed the lease payments for certain property leases of a former subsidiary with expiration dates extending up to 2035. These lease guarantees were retained by Belden and not transferred to the buyer of the former subsidiary. As of December 31, 2024, the fixed, remaining base rent payments were approximately $20 million. In 2024, 2023, and 2022, we recognized $3.3 million, $4.1 million, and $10.1 million, respectively, related to the guarantees in selling, general and administrative expenses. These costs were excluded from Segment EBITDA of our Smart Infrastructure Solutions segment. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had a liability for expected, future payments of $12.3 million and $11.3 million, respectively. The liability is based on certain assumptions that we continually reassess on an ongoing basis. We will update the estimated liability balance for changes in assumptions as needed.
