9. Leases
In 2020, the Company adopted new accounting guidance for leases. As part of the adoption of this accounting guidance for leases, the Company elected to not separate lease and non-lease
components. Additionally, the Company elected to apply the short term lease exemption to all asset classes and the short term lease expense for the period reasonably reflects the short term lease commitments. As the Company’s leases do not
provide an implicit rate, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the time of commencement or modification date in determining the present value of lease payments. For operating leases that commenced
prior to the date of adoption of the new lease accounting guidance, the Company used the incremental borrowing rate as of the adoption date. Assumptions used in determining the Company’s incremental borrowing rate include the Company’s implied
credit rating and an estimate of secured borrowing rates based on comparable market data.
The Company has entered into agreements for real estate leases that are not recorded as right-of-use assets or lease liabilities as it
has not yet taken possession. These leases are expected to commence in 2023 with undiscounted future payments of $35,433.
