Leases

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at its inception. The Company has entered into operating leases for real estate. These leases have initial terms which range from 10 years to 20 years and often include one or more options to renew. These renewal terms can extend the lease term by 5 years and will be included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. The Company’s existing leases do not contain significant restrictive provisions; however, certain leases contain provisions for payment of real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs by the Company. The lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees. Some of the real estate lease agreements include periods of rent holidays and payments that escalate over the lease term by specified amounts. All operating lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases, interest expense is recognized on the lease liability and the right-of-use asset is amortized over the lease term.

 

Some leases may require variable lease payments based on factors specific to the individual agreements. Variable lease payments for which we are typically responsible include real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance expenses based on the Company’s pro-rata share, which are excluded from the measurement of the lease liability. Additionally, one of the Company’s real estate leases has lease payments that adjust based on annual changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). The leases that are dependent upon CPI are initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date and are included in the measurement of the lease liability. Incremental payments due to changes in the index are treated as variable lease costs and expensed as incurred.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025, the Company closed on a sale leaseback transaction with an unrelated third party. Under this transaction, the Company sold its facility located in Louisville, Kentucky, with a net book value of $414,000 for gross proceeds of $3,200,000, which was reduced by transaction costs of $280,000 for net cash proceeds of approximately $2,920,000. The lease agreement has a term of 20 years, and our initial annual cash payments to the buyer-lessor are approximately $280,000, and the payments will escalate three percent annually. The Company recognized a gain of $2,506,000 on this transaction, which is included in other (income) expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities recognized related to this sale leaseback transaction were $2,205,000.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025, the Company entered into a five-year extension of its land and building in Toluca, Mexico and reassessed its expectations to exercise one additional extension. As a result, an increase in the operating right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities recognized related to this were $2,486,000, and the Company recognized an increase of its finance lease of $3,645,000.

 

These operating leases are included in “Operating lease right-of-use assets” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The Company’s obligations to make lease payments are included in “Operating lease liabilities, current portion” and “Operating lease liabilities, net of current portion” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As of September 28, 2025, total right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities were approximately $7,694,000 and $7,971,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, total right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities were approximately $3,749,000 and $4,157,000, respectively.

 

We primarily use our incremental borrowing rate, which is updated quarterly, based on the information available at commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. If readily available, we would use the implicit rate in a new lease to determine the present value of lease payments. The Company has certain contracts for real estate which may contain lease and non-lease components which it has elected to treat as a single lease component.

 

The Company has entered into various short-term operating leases, primarily for office equipment with an initial term of twelve months or less. Lease payments associated with short-term leases are expensed as incurred and are not recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The related lease expense for short-term leases was not material for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024.
