8. LEASES

We lease most of our administrative and educational facilities under non-cancelable operating or finance leases expiring at various dates through 2050. In most cases, we are required to make additional payments under facility leases for taxes, insurance and other operating expenses incurred during the lease period, which are typically variable in nature.

We determine if a contract contains a lease when the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Upon identification and commencement of a lease, we establish a right of use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability.

Quantitative information related to leases is presented in the following table (dollars in thousands):

Failed Sale-Leaseback

Upon construction commencement of the new St. Augustine campus in April 2023, the Company determined that it was the deemed owner for accounting purposes during the construction period under a build to suit (“BTS”) arrangement due to the extent of the Company’s involvement in the project. Accordingly, the Company had recognized all cash and non-cash assets contributed by the landlord to the project as of December 31, 2024 as a component of construction in progress with a corresponding construction financing liability. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had recognized $56.5 million in construction contributions made by the landlord as construction financing on the consolidated balance sheet. Lease commencement began in January 2025 upon substantial completion of the BTS arrangement with a stated lease term of 25 years from commencement date.

Upon lease commencement, the Company determined that it did not meet the criteria under ASC 606-10-25-30 to derecognize the asset as the Company retained control of the asset and the risks and rewards of ownership did not transfer to the landlord. As such the transaction is considered a failed sale leaseback and the Company will retain the asset on its condensed consolidated balance sheet and depreciate the asset over its useful life. A financing obligation liability was recognized in the amount of the net proceeds received in the amount of $56.5 million. The Company will not recognize rent expense related to the leased asset. Instead, monthly rent payments under the lease agreement will be recorded as interest expense and a reduction of the outstanding liability.

Future minimum lease payments for sale-leaseback financing transactions as of June 30, 2025 are as follows:
