Operating Leases

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2021

11. Operating Leases:

The Company primarily leases property under operating leases and had one material equipment operating lease for an aircraft that expired in January 2022. The Company’s property leases are primarily for its regional, medical and business offices, storage space and temporary housing for medical staff.

For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company records the related asset and obligation at the present value of the lease payment using a discount rate that reflects the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate. Certain of the Company’s leases include rental escalation clauses and renewal options that are factored into the determination of lease payments when appropriate. Operating leases for office equipment are not material, and therefore are excluded from the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The table below presents the operating lease-related right-of-use assets and related liabilities recorded on the Company’s balance sheet and the weighted average remaining lease term and discount rate as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 (dollars in thousands):
