Leases

We adopted ASC 842, "Leases," effective on December 30, 2018, the first day of our 2019 fiscal year, using the modified retrospective transition method. The new standard requires lessees to record assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. We elected the "package of practical expedients" that would allow us to carryforward our historical lease classifications, not reassess historical contracts to determine if they contain leases, and not reassess the initial direct costs for any existing leases. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components. Concurrent with our adoption of Topic 842, we have early adopted ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements, which grants disclosure relief for interim periods during the year in which a company adopted Topic 842.

Right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized on the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. At inception, we determine if an arrangement is a lease, if it includes options to extend or terminate the lease, and if it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the options. Lease cost, representing lease payments over the term of the lease and any capitalizable direct costs less any incentives received, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as lease expense. We have operating leases for corporate offices, sales offices, research and development facilities, storage facilities, and a data center.

Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 to 8 years, some of which include options to extend for up to 5 years, and some of which include options to terminate within 1 year. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. When deemed reasonably certain of exercise, the renewal options are included in the determination of the lease term and lease payment obligation, respectively. For our leases that contain variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, or restrictive covenants, we have concluded that these inputs are not significant to the determination of the ROU asset and lease liability. For our operating leases, the weighted-average remaining lease term was 5.9 years and the weighted-average discount rate is 7.0% as of September 28, 2019.

Our adoption of Topic 842 resulted in the non-cash recognition of additional net ROU assets and lease liabilities of approximately $29.9 million and $32.3 million, respectively, as of December 30, 2018. The difference between these amounts resulted from an adjustment to the deferred rent balance existing under the prior guidance. Adoption of this standard did not materially affect our consolidated net earnings.

All of our facilities are leased under operating leases, which expire at various times through 2027. We recorded fixed operating lease expenses of $1.9 million and $5.8 million for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively.

Prior to 2019, the reporting of future minimum lease commitments included the lease obligations associated with previously restructured facilities. Lease obligations for facilities restructured prior to the adoption of Topic 842 totaled approximately $7.4 million at September 28, 2019 and continued to be recorded in Other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
