Leases, and Related Party Transactions

Note 9. Leases, and Related Party Transactions

The Company's operating leases for its equipment and specialized spaces for company equipment have terms expiring at various dates through June 2033. Certain lease arrangements include renewal options and escalation clauses.

Operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense related to the net present value of payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The key components of the Company's operating leases expenses were as follows:
