LEASES

The Company leases certain manufacturing and warehouse facilities, administrative office space, semi-tractors, trailers, forklifts, and other equipment through operating leases with unrelated third parties. The operating leases have remaining terms of up to 12 years and some leases include options to purchase, terminate, or extend for one or more years. The options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are recognized in lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term and not recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Certain of the Company’s lease arrangements contain lease components (such as minimum rent payments) and non-lease components (such as common-area or other maintenance costs and taxes). The Company generally accounts for each component separately based on the estimated standalone price of each component. Some of the Company’s lease arrangements include rental payments that are adjusted periodically for an index rate. These leases are initially measured using the projected

payments in effect at the inception of the lease. Certain of the Company’s leased semi-tractors, trailers, and forklifts include variable costs for usage or mileage. Such variable costs are expensed as incurred and included in the variable lease cost item noted in the table below. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. The components of lease cost for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:
