Amortization of lease right-of-use assets, which is included in noninterest expense, totaled $2.6 million in 2025, $3.7 million in 2024 and $3.6 million in 2023.
Lease Commitments
First Commonwealth has elected to apply certain practical expedients under ASU 2016-02 "Leases" ("Topic 842"), including: (i) to not apply the requirements in the new standard to short-term leases (ii) to not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing lease (iii) to account for lease and non-lease components separately, and (iv) to not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. The impact of this standard primarily relates to operating leases of certain real estate properties,
primarily certain branch and ATM locations and office space. First Commonwealth has no material leasing arrangements for which it is the lessor of property or equipment.
The following table represents the lease costs and other lease information for the years ended December 31.

Operating cash flows$5,646 $5,741 
The ROU assets and lease liabilities are impacted by the length of the lease term and the discount rate used to calculate the present value of the minimum lease payments. First Commonwealth's lease agreements often include one or more options to renew at the Company's discretion. If we consider the renewal option to be reasonably certain, we include the extended term in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability.
First Commonwealth uses incremental borrowing rates when calculating the lease liability because the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate used by First Commonwealth is an amortizing loan rate obtained from the FHLB. This rate is consistent with a collateralized borrowing rate and is available for terms similar to the lease payment schedules.
The following table reconciles future minimum lease payments due under non-cancelable operating leases (those amounts subject to recognition) to the lease liability as of December 31, 2025 (dollars in thousands):

Rent expense, net of rental income, for all operating leases totaled $5.6 million in 2025, $5.9 million in 2024 and $5.9 million in 2023. Rent expense includes amounts related to items that are not included in the determination of lease right-of-use assets including expenses related to short-term leases and non-lease components such as taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance costs.
