8.    LEASES

Our lease portfolio includes leased production and assembly facilities, warehouses and distribution centers, office space, vehicles, material handling equipment utilized in our production and assembly facilities, laptops and other information technology equipment, as well as other miscellaneous leased equipment. Most of the leased production and assembly facilities have lease terms ranging from two to five years, although the terms and conditions of our leases can vary significantly from lease to lease. We have assessed the specific terms and conditions of each lease to determine the amount of the lease payments and the length of the lease term, which includes the minimum period over which lease payments are required plus any renewal options that are both within our control to exercise and reasonably certain of being exercised upon lease commencement. In determining whether or not a renewal option is reasonably certain of being exercised, we assessed all relevant factors to determine if sufficient incentives exist as of lease commencement to conclude renewal is reasonably certain. There are no material residual value guarantees provided by us, nor any restrictions or covenants imposed by the leases to which we are a party. In determining the lease liability, we utilize our incremental borrowing rate to discount the future lease payments over the lease term to present value.

We record a right-of-use asset and lease liability on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for all leases that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of more than 12 months and are classified as operating leases.  

We recorded total operating lease expenses of $1.5 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively and $2.8 million and $2.6 million for the six months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which are classified within Cost of sales and service and Selling, general and administrative expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.  Operating lease expense includes short-term leases and variable lease payments that are immaterial.  There have been no lease costs capitalized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of April 30, 2024.
