Leases

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2021

The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception date. The Company's leases are operating leases, primarily for office and office equipment, that expire at various dates over the next five years. The facility based leases have renewal options for periods ranging from one to nine years. As it is not reasonably certain these renewal options will be exercised, the options were not considered in the lease term, and payments associated with the option years are excluded from lease payments.

Payments due under operating leases include fixed and variable payments. These variable payments for the Company's office leases can include operating expenses, utilities, property taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, and other facility-related expense. Additionally, any leases with terms less than one year were not recognized as operating lease right of use assets or payables for short term leases in accordance with the election of ‘package of practical expedient’ under ASU 2016-02.

The Company recognizes operating lease right of use assets and operating lease payable based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments at the lease commencement date. The Company's leases do not provide implicit rates. Therefore, the Company used an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. As of December 31, 2021, the weighted-average remaining lease term was 3.85 years and weighted-average discount rate was 4.22%. As of December 31, 2020, the weighted-average remaining lease term was 4.15 years and weighted-average discount rate was 4.51%.
