6. Leases

The Company leases office and warehouse facilities, distribution equipment and its fleet of vehicles. The Company’s leases have lease terms ranging from one to eleven years. The Company’s facility leases generally contain renewal options for periods ranging from one to five years. The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at the Company’s sole discretion. The Company does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for renewal options unless it is determined that the Company is reasonably certain of exercising renewal options at lease inception. Certain of the Company’s equipment leases include options to purchase the leased property and certain of the Company’s equipment leases contain residual value guarantees. Any residual value payment deemed probable is included in the Company’s lease liability. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material restrictive covenants.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and evaluates whether the lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, current portion of operating lease liabilities and long-term operating lease liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.  

Lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. For leases that do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of future payments. The Company determines its incremental borrowing rate based on the applicable lease terms and the current economic environment. Lease ROU assets also include any lease payments made in advance and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Some of the Company’s lease agreements contain rent escalation clauses (including index-based escalations), rent holidays, capital improvements funding or other lease concessions. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis based on the fixed component over the lease term. Variable lease costs consist primarily of taxes, insurance and common area or other maintenance costs for leased facilities and vehicles and equipment, which are paid based on actual costs incurred.
