11. Leases

We determine if a contract contains a lease at inception. We have entered into operating leases for academic sites, housing facilities, and office space which expire at various dates through February 2030, most of which include options to terminate for a fee or extend the leases for an additional five-year period. The lease term includes options to terminate or extend when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. We elected to account for lease and non-lease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs) as a single lease component for all operating leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. We have not entered into any financing leases.

Operating lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset during the lease term. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. Operating lease assets are adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments, lease incentives, initial direct costs, and impairments. Our incremental borrowing rate is utilized in determining the present value of the lease payments based upon the information available at the commencement date. Our incremental borrowing rate is determined using a secured borrowing rate for the

same currency and term as the associated lease. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As of March 31, 2020, we entered into two additional operating leases that have not yet commenced. One operating lease will commence during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, has an 11-year lease term, and will result in an additional lease asset and lease liability of $9.7 million. The second operating lease will commence during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, has an 10-year lease term, and will result in an additional lease asset and lease liability of $10.1 million.

Adtalem maintains agreements to lease four facilities owned by Adtalem to DeVry University with various expiration dates through December 2023. Adtalem maintains agreements to sublease either a portion or the full leased space at 23 of its operating lease locations. Most of these subleases are a result of Adtalem retaining leases associated with restructured lease activities at DeVry University and Carrington prior to their divestitures during fiscal year 2019. All sublease expirations with DeVry University and Carrington coincide with Adtalem’s original head lease expiration dates. At that time, Adtalem will be relieved of its obligations. In addition, Adtalem has entered into subleases with non-affiliated entities for vacated or partially vacated space from restructuring activities. Adtalem’s sublease agreements expire at various dates through December 2025. We record sublease income as an offset against our lease expense recorded on the head lease.

For leases which Adtalem vacated or partially vacated space, we recorded estimated restructuring charges in prior periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates, which could result in additional restructuring charges or reversals. Future minimum lease and sublease rental income under these agreements as of March 31, 2020, were as follows (in thousands):

Fiscal Year	Amount
2020 (remaining)	$	5,796
2021		19,852

2023		16,199
2024		10,438
Thereafter		7,307
Total lease and sublease rental income	$	76,527
