Leases [Abstract]

Leases

4. Leases

The Company’s leases are primarily comprised of real estate leases for the use of office space, with certain lease arrangements that contain equipment. The Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Lease assets and liabilities are recognized upon commencement of the lease based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The lease term includes options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Substantially all of the leases are long-term operating leases for facilities with fixed payment terms between 1.5 and 12.8 years.

The table below presents supplemental information related to operating leases:

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020
Operating cash flows for operating leases	$	2,015,612
Noncash lease liabilities arising from obtaining operating leased assets during the period	$	16,617,790
Weighted-average remaining lease term		11.18 years
Weighted-average discount rate		13.52	%

The Company generally utilizes its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement of the lease in determining the present value of future payments since the implicit rate for most of the Company’s leases is not readily determinable.

Variable lease expense includes rental increases that are not fixed, such as those based on amounts paid to the lessor based on cost or consumption, such as maintenance and utilities.

Operating lease costs recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were $982,414 and $297,750, respectively. Operating lease costs recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were $3,082,499 and $559,653, respectively.
