Asset impairments Corporate office relocation On March 1, 2024, we exited and ceased use of our leased facility in McLean, Virginia and moved our corporate headquarters to our existing office space in New York. We will continue to seek subleases for the leased facility in McLean. As a result of the headquarters relocation, we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $46.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 related to the McLean operating lease right-of-use asset and the associated leasehold improvements. The fair value was measured using a discounted cash flow model based on market rents projected over the remaining lease term, which goes through October 2030.
