Leases [Abstract]  
Leases Leases
The Company has operating and finance leases for certain of its distribution facilities, office space, land, mobile fleet, and equipment. Many of these leases are non-cancelable and typically have a defined initial lease term, and some provide options to renew at the Company’s election for specified periods of time. The majority of these leases have remaining lease terms of one to 15 years, some of which include one or more options to extend the leases for typically five years. The Company’s leases generally provide for fixed annual rentals. Certain leases include provisions for escalating rent based on, among other things, contractually defined increases and/or changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). The known changes to lease payments are included in the lease liability at lease commencement. Unknown changes related to CPI are treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments was incurred. In addition, a subset of vehicle lease cost is considered variable. Some leases require the Company to pay taxes, insurance, and maintenance expenses associated with the leased assets. The lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and assesses lease classification as either operating or finance at lease inception or modification. Operating lease right-of use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are presented separately on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Finance lease ROU assets are included in property and equipment and the finance lease obligations are presented separately in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. When a lease does not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future payments. The Company has also made the accounting policy election to not separate lease components from non-lease components related to the mobile fleet asset class.
The Company’s finance lease liabilities consist of leases related to equipment and vehicles, and real estate. A majority of the Company’s finance leases relate to real estate. During fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018, the Company entered into real estate financing transactions on certain of its warehouse facilities. These transactions were completed pursuant to sale-leaseback arrangements, and upon their completion, the Company entered into long-term leases on the properties having renewal options. The Company accounted for these transactions in accordance with the ASC 840, Leases, which was the lease accounting standard in effect for the Company at the inception of these arrangements. The Company recorded these transactions as finance lease liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet. Gains on these sale-leaseback transactions were deferred and are being recognized into the Company’s earnings. As of March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the remaining unrecognized deferred gains related to these transactions were $66.2 million and $67.2 million, respectively, and these deferred gains are being recognized in earning on a straight-line basis. During the three fiscal months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, the Company recognized $1.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of these deferred gains in each fiscal quarter.
The following table presents the assets and liabilities related to the Company’s leases as of March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024:
