LEASES

6 Months Ended

Mar. 29, 2024

The Company leases certain facilities and machinery and equipment under long-term, non-cancelable operating leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception.

As of March 29, 2024, the Company had approximately 200 leases, with remaining terms ranging from less than one year to 16 years. Some of the leases contain variable payment terms, such as payments based on fluctuations in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Some leases also contain options to extend or terminate the lease. To the extent the Company is reasonably certain to exercise these options, they have been considered in the calculation of the right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities. Under current lease agreements, there are no residual value guarantees or restrictive lease covenants. In calculating the ROU assets and lease liabilities, several assumptions and judgments were made by the Company, including whether a contract is or contains a lease under the applicable definition, and the determination of the discount rate, which is assumed to be the incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is derived from information available to the Company at the lease commencement date based on lease length and location.

The components of lease expense recognized in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023 were as follows:

As of March 29, 2024, the Company did not have any finance leases or sublease agreements. Additionally, the Company does not have any leases in which it is the lessor. While the Company extended or renewed various existing leases during the quarter, there were no significant new leases entered into during the quarter ended March 29, 2024. During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to obtain additional space at an existing lease site that will begin in fiscal 2025 and will result in additional estimated lease payments of approximately $2,000 over the remaining lease term, which are not included in the future minimum rental commitments below.
