LEASES AND RELATED PARTY LEASES

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2021

The Company leases administrative, manufacturing, research and distribution facilities and vehicles through operating lease agreements. The Company has no finance leases as of September 30, 2021. Many of the Company's leases include both lease (e.g., fixed payments including rent) and non-lease components (e.g., common-area or other maintenance costs). For vehicles, the Company has elected the practical expedient to group lease and non-lease components.

Most facility leases include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at the Company's sole discretion, therefore, the majority of renewals to extend the lease terms are not included in the Right of Use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. The Company regularly evaluates renewal options and when they are reasonably certain of exercise, the renewal period is included in the lease term.

As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses a collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments.

Total operating lease expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 was $15.7 million and $14.6 million respectively, which includes $0.2 million, in related party operating lease expense.
