Leases Leases
The Company leases office facilities under non-cancelable operating leases with terms generally ranging between 10 and 25 years. The Company utilizes these leased office facilities for use by its employees in countries in which the Company conducts its business. The Company’s leases have no restrictions on the payment of dividends, the acquisition of debt or additional lease obligations, or entering into additional lease obligations. The leases also do not contain significant purchase options.
Operating leases are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets as ROU assets and operating lease liabilities based on the present value of the remaining future minimum payments over the lease term at commencement date of the lease.
The Company determined that $1 million and $9 million of ROU assets were impaired for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, and $3 million and $8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and recorded a charge to the consolidated statements of income with an offsetting reduction to ROU assets.
