Lessee Operating and Finance Leases [Text Block]

NOTE 9 — LEASES

The Company leases certain facilities and equipment. The leases are accounted for under Accounting Standard Update 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”), and the Company elected to apply each available practical expedient. The discount rates used for the leases are based on an interest rate yield curve developed for the leases in the Company’s lease portfolio.

The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exception to all leases of one year or less. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have additional operating leases that resulted in right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had additional finance leases associated with property, plant, and equipment of $813 and $0 respectively. 

Some of the Company’s facility leases include options to renew. The exercise of the renewal options is typically at the Company’s discretion. The Company regularly evaluates the renewal options and includes them in the lease term when the Company is reasonably certain to exercise them.
