12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2024

Federated Hermes has material operating leases related to its corporate headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. These leases expire in 2030 and have renewal options for additional periods through 2040. These leases include provisions for leasehold improvement incentives, rent escalation and certain penalties for early termination. In addition, Federated Hermes has various other operating lease agreements primarily for facilities. These leases are noncancelable and expire on various dates through the year 2036. Most leases include renewal options for additional rental periods that would end on various dates through 2041 and, in certain cases, escalation clauses. The value of the ROU assets and lease liabilities recognized do not include the consideration of any renewal options, as they are not yet reasonably certain to be exercised.

Federated Hermes may enter into, modify or terminate certain leases in accordance with the lease agreements. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, these transactions resulted in non-cash increases of $20.0 million, $20.3 million and $3.3 million, respectively, to Right-of-Use Assets, net and Lease Liabilities (both current and long-term) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
