5. LEASES

 

The Company has operating leases related to land, office space, warehouse space and equipment. All of the Company’s leases have been assessed to be operating leases. Renewal options are included in the lease term to the extent the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. The incremental borrowing rate represents the Company’s ability to borrow on a collateralized basis over a term similar to the lease term. The leases typically contain renewal options for periods ranging from one year to ten years and require the Company to pay real estate taxes and other operating costs. The latest land lease expiration is 2068 assuming exercise of all applicable renewal options by the Company. The Company’s existing leases are not subject to any restrictions or covenants which preclude its ability to pay dividends, obtain financing or exercise its available renewal options.

 

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases as of August 30, 2026 are as follows:

Total undiscounted operating lease payments

    358

    (62 )

Present value of operating lease payments

  $ 296  

 

The above payment schedule includes renewal options that the Company is reasonably likely to exercise. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases.

 

For the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended August 30, 2026, the Company’s operating lease expenses were $17 and $34, respectively. Cash payments of $29, pertaining to operating leases, are reflected in the cash flow statement under cash flows from operating activities.

 

The following table sets forth the right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities as of August 30, 2026 and March 1, 2026:

At August 30, 2026 and March 1, 2026, the Company’s weighted average remaining lease terms for its operating leases were 5.3 years and 5.6 years, respectively, and the weighted average borrowing rates for its operating leases were 4.99% and 4.98%, respectively.

 

In July 2026, the Company entered into a sublease agreement covering approximately 18 acres of land in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Company plans to build a new composites material manufacturing and development facility on the site. The facility will include full production lab facilities, office space, storage and freezer space and ancillary equipment necessary to support all planned manufacturing operations. The sublease commences on September 1, 2026 and has an initial term of 25 years with a renewal option for an additional 25 years. Annual rent under the sublease agreement for the initial five years of the sublease would be $269 with increases for each subsequent five-year period based upon the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, U.S, City Average All Items as published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics ("BLS"). The Company expects economic development incentives to offset a significant portion of rent expense.
