We lease facilities and equipment primarily under operating leases. We recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, taking into account, when applicable, lessor incentives for tenant improvements, periods where no rent payment is required and escalations in rent payments over the term of the lease. Remaining terms for facility leases generally range from one to fifteen years, while remaining terms for equipment leases generally range from one to five years. Most real property leases contain renewal options (typically for five-year increments). Generally, the renewal option periods are not included within the lease term as we are not reasonably certain to exercise that right at lease commencement. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term discounted at our incremental borrowing rate as the implicit rate in the lease is not readily determinable for most of our leases. We estimate the discount rate as our incremental borrowing rate based on qualitative factors including Company-specific credit rating, lease term, general economic and the interest rate environment. For existing leases that commenced prior to the adoption of the amended leasing guidance, we determined the discount rate on April 1, 2019 using the full lease term. Operating lease liabilities are recorded under the caption, “Current portion of operating lease liabilities” and “Long-Term Operating Lease Liabilities” and the corresponding lease assets are recorded under the caption, “Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets,” in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Finance lease assets are included within property, plant and equipment, net and finance lease liabilities are included within current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Interest income from these leases recorded was not material during the second quarter and first six months of 2020.
