Leases [Abstract] |
Leases | LEASES We enter into a variety of operating lease agreements through the normal course of business including certain administrative offices. The leases are long-term, non-cancelable real estate lease agreements, expiring at various dates through fiscal 2032. The agreements generally provide for fixed minimum rental payments and the payment of utilities, real estate taxes, insurance, and repairs. We also lease vehicles, IT equipment and certain land parcels related to our energy projects, expiring at various dates through fiscal 2050. The office and land leases make up a significant portion of our operating lease activity. Many of these leases have one or more renewal options that allow us, at our discretion, to renew the lease for six months to seven years. Only renewal options that we believed were likely to be exercised were included in our lease calculations. Many land leases include minimum lease payments that commence or increase when the related project becomes operational. In these cases, we estimated the commercial operation date used to calculate the ROU asset and minimum lease payments. A portion of our real estate leases are generally subject to annual changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). We utilized each lease’s minimum lease payments to calculate the lease balances upon transition. The subsequent increases in rent based on changes in CPI were excluded and will be excluded for future leases from the calculation of the lease balances, but will be recorded to the consolidated statements of income as part of our operating lease costs. The discount rate was calculated using an incremental borrowing rate based on financing rates on secured comparable notes with comparable terms and a synthetic credit rating calculated by a third party. We elected to apply the discount rate using the remaining lease term at the date of adoption. We also enter into leases for service agreements and other leases related to our construction projects such as equipment, mobile trailers, and other temporary structures. We utilize the portfolio approach for this class of lease, which are either short-term leases or are not material. Rent and related expenses were as follows:

Rent and related expenses | $ | 9,199 |  |  | $ | 9,740 |  |  | $ | 8,891 |
We have a number of leases that are classified as financing leases, which related to transactions that were considered sale-leasebacks under ASC 840.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we entered into amendments to this facility which extended the current maturity date to June 30, 2023. We sold and leased back four energy assets for $23,905 in cash proceeds under this facility during the year ended December 31, 2022. The agreements have low interest rates ranging from 0% to 1.17%, as a result of tax credits which were transferred to the counterparty.
