5. Leases

The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019. ASC 842 allows the Company to elect a package of practical expedients, which include: (i) an entity need not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (ii) an entity need not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) an entity need not reassess any initial direct costs for any existing leases. Another practical expedient allows the Company to use hindsight in determining the lease term when considering lessee options to extend or terminate the lease and to purchase the underlying asset. The Company has elected to utilize this package of practical expedients and has not elected the hindsight methodology in its implementation of ASC 842.  Adoption of the standard did not result in a material cumulative effect requiring adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018.

The Company determined that it held one significant operating lease as of January 1, 2019, consisting of 20,062 square feet of office and laboratory space in Waltham, Massachusetts that expires in December 2022 pursuant to a May 2015 lease with AstraZeneca (“AZ lease”), as amended in February 2018. During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded lease expense of $0.2 million related to this lease. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded lease expense of $0.5 million related to this lease. The Company has two additional operating leases that are included in its lease accounting which are not considered significant. 

In calculating the present value of future lease payments, the Company utilized its incremental borrowing rate based on the remaining lease term at the date of adoption. The AZ lease contains a renewal option that can extend the lease for three years. Because the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise this renewal option, the option is not considered in determining the lease term, and associated potential additional payments are excluded from lease payments. The Company has elected to account for each lease component and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component and has allocated all of the contract consideration across lease components only. The Company has existing net leases in which the non-lease components (e.g., common area maintenance) are paid separately from rent based on actual costs incurred and therefore are not included in the operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and are reflected as an expense in the period incurred.
