9. LEASES

 

Our leases primarily consist of operating leases for certain facilities and office spaces, and financing leases for equipment. Our leases have remaining terms of 1 to 3.2 years and may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Operating lease assets also include any upfront lease payments made and exclude lease incentives and initial direct cost incurred. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
