Weighted Average Remaining Lease Term and Discount Rate

The calculated amount of the ROU assets and lease liabilities in the table above are impacted by the length of the lease term and the discount rate used to present value the minimum lease payments. The Company’s lease agreements often include one or more options to renew at the Company’s discretion. If at lease inception, the Company considers the exercising of a renewal option to be reasonably certain, the Company will include the extended term in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. Regarding the discount rate, Topic 842 requires the use of the rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term. For operating leases existing prior to January 1, 2019, the rate for the remaining lease term as of January 1, 2019 was used. The following table displays the weighted average remaining lease term and the weighted average discount rate for the Company’s operating leases outstanding as of December 31, 2022:

	Operating
Weighted average term (years)		8.92
Weighted average discount rate		3.06	%

Lease Costs and Other Lease Information

The following table represents lease costs and other lease information for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively (in thousands). As the Company elected not to separate lease and non-lease components and instead to account for them as a single lease component, the variable lease cost primarily represents variable payments such as common area maintenance and utilities.

	December 31,
Lease Cost	2022		2021		2020
Operating lease cost	$	728	$	676	$	571
Variable lease cost		64		63		50
