NOTE 12 – LEASES

The Company leases office and research facilities, data centers and office equipment under operating leases with various expiration dates through 2032. Certain leases offer the option to renew and to terminate before the expiration date. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the balance sheets; expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments are expensed as incurred and are not considered when evaluating the operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities.

The Company subleases certain real estate to third parties. The sublease portfolio consists of operating leases for previously exited office space. Certain subleases include variable payments for operating costs. The subleases are generally co-terminus with the head lease, or shorter. Subleases generally do not include any residual value guarantees or restrictions or covenants imposed by the leases. Income from subleases is recognized as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses.
