During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 we acquired several auto leases in connection with our acquisition of Alfamation. The acquisition is discussed further in Note 3. We also entered into the Lease Agreement, described in Note 3, for the facility where Alfamation has its principal operations. This facility is owned by the seller. The leased premises include warehouse and office space totaling approximately 51,817 square feet. The yearly lease payment is EUR 260. The impact of the acquisition of these leases was a non-cash increase in our ROU assets and operating lease liabilities of approximately $1,706 at the date of the acquisition.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 we also extended several building leases for certain of our facilities located in the U.S., the Netherlands and Singapore. At the effective dates of these extensions, we recorded non-cash increases in our ROU assets and operating lease liabilities totaling approximately $5,623.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we entered into a 25-month lease for a facility for our Environmental Technologies segment’s operation in Germany. At the effective date of this lease, we recorded a non-cash increase in our ROU assets and operating lease liabilities of approximately $90. During this same period, we entered into two auto leases, one with a 36-month term and one with a 48-month term, for employees of our Process Technologies segment both of whom are based in Europe. At the effective date of these leases, we recorded non-cash increases in our ROU assets and operating lease liabilities totaling approximately $71.
