Leases

We adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as amended, as of January 1, 2019, using the transition method, which became effective upon the date of adoption. The transition method allows entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date (January 1, 2019) and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification. We have also elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption which does not require balance sheet presentation for short-term leases.

All of our leases are classified as operating leases. As our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Our incremental borrowing rate represents the interest rate which we would pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments over a similar term in a similar economic environment.

We have entered into various short-term operating leases with an initial term of twelve months or less. These leases are not recorded on our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 or 2020, and the rent expense for these short-term leases is not significant.

The Company’s leases generally require us to pay for insurance, taxes, utilities, and other operating costs. These payments are not included in the right-of-use asset or lease liability and are expensed as incurred.

Through the acquisition of BasX (Note 4), we acquired various leases for plant/office space and equipment. We also lease the plant/office space used by our operations in Parkville, MO. Expense related to these leases is recognized on straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain of our leases contain escalating lease payments based on predefined increases. Most leases contain options to renew or terminate. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities reflect only the options which the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.

At December 31, 2021, we had operating lease right-of-use assets of $17.0 million and current and noncurrent operating lease obligations of $1.6 million and $15.5 million within accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2020, we had operating lease right-of-use assets of $1.6 million and current and noncurrent operating lease obligations of $0.2 million and $1.4 million within accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets.
