Leases [Abstract] |
Leases | Leases We have operating and finance leases for properties, including manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and office space; as well as vehicles and 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 within 1 to 19 years; some of which include extension and termination options. 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. We have a few short-term operating leases with terms less than twelve months - these leases are not recorded on our balance sheet and the overall rent expense is not material. We also have certain lease contracts that contain both lease and non-lease components. We have elected the practical expedient to account for these components together as a single, combined lease component. T he rate implicit in most of our leases is not readily determinable. As a result, we utilize 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 of the lease, commencement date of the lease, local currency of the leased asset, and the credit rating of the legal entity leasing the asset. Our lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees. Our variable lease expense was approximately $0.8 million for both the three months ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025, respectively. 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 out to 2035. These lease guarantees were retained by Belden and not transferred to the buyer of the former subsidiary. As of both March 29, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fixed, remaining base rent payments were approximately $17 million. As of March 29, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had a liability for expected, future payments of $9.6 million and $10.7 million, respectively. The liability is based on certain assumptions, including potential settlements with landlords that we continually reassess on an ongoing basis. We will update the estimated liability balance for changes in assumptions as needed.
