The amount of the asset retirement obligation is the present value of the best estimate of future expected expenditure to settle the obligation – arising from leased property as of December 31, 2025, discounted by
 
appropriate discount rate. The restoration cost is expected to occur by the end of each property’s lease period, and the Group has used average lease period for each category of leases terminated during the past years in order to rationally estimate the lease period. In addition, the Group used average amount of actual recovery cost for the past 3 years and the inflation rate for last year in order to estimate future recovery cost.
