Note 8 - Leases
As of June 30, 2025, we have facility leases at 29 of our 32 operating campuses, and two non-campus locations under non-cancelable operating or finance leases. During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded the facility leases for the new Concorde co-branded Heartland Dental campus in Fort Myers, Florida which is slated to open in early fiscal 2026, the new UTI Atlanta, Georgia campus which is slated to launch in the late fiscal 2026, and the relocation of the Concorde Denver, Colorado campus planned for fiscal 2026, as we took possession to begin construction. Additionally, as part of our growth and diversity strategy, we have signed a lease agreement for a new UTI San Antonio, Texas campus which is expected to open during fiscal 2026. As of June 30, 2025, this lease which has not yet commenced nor have we taken possession of it, will have total minimum lease payments of approximately $8.2 million over a term of 10.5 years.
Some of our leases contain escalation clauses and requirements to pay other fees associated with the leases. The facility leases have original lease terms ranging from 5 to 20 years and expire at various dates through 2036. In addition, the leases commonly include lease incentives in the form of rent abatements and tenant improvement allowances. We sublease certain portions of unused building space to third parties, which as of June 30, 2025, resulted in minimal income. All leases, other than those that may qualify for the short-term scope exception of 12 months or less, are recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The components of lease expense during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:
