LEASES | 8. LEASES Immersion For the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, Immersion’s leases and related activity was not material. Barnes & Noble Education Barnes & Noble Education recognizes lease assets and lease liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for substantially all lease arrangements based on the present value of future lease payments as required by ASC Topic 842, Leases. Barnes & Noble Education’s portfolio of leases consists of operating leases comprised of operating agreements, which grant us the right to operate on-campus bookstores at colleges and universities; real estate leases for office and warehouse operations; and vehicle leases. Barnes & Noble Education has one immaterial finance lease and no short-term leases (i.e., those with a term of twelve months or less). Barnes & Noble Education recognizes a right of use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for leases with a term greater than twelve months. Options to extend or terminate a lease are included in the determination of the ROU asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain that such options will be exercised. Barnes & Noble Education’s lease terms generally range from one year to fifteen years, and a number of agreements contain minimum annual guarantees, many of which are adjusted at the start of each contract year based on the actual sales activity of the leased premises for the most recently completed contract year. Payment terms are based on the fixed rates explicit in the lease, including minimum annual guarantees, and/or variable rates based on: (i) a percentage of revenues or sales arising at the relevant premises (“variable commissions”), and/or (ii) operating expenses, such as common area charges, real estate taxes and insurance. For contracts with fixed lease payments, including those with minimum annual guarantees, Barnes & Noble Education recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For variable commissions, Barnes & Noble Education recognizes lease expense as incurred. Barnes & Noble Education’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees, material restrictions, or covenants. Barnes & Noble Education uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of fixed lease payments based on the information available at the lease commencement date, if the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. Barnes & Noble Education utilizes an estimated collateralized incremental borrowing rate as of the effective date or the commencement date of the lease, whichever is later. The following table summarizes additional information related to Barnes & Noble Education’s operating leases:
