Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Operating Lease Obligations. Lexicon’s operating leases include leases of office space in The Woodlands, Texas and Bridgewater, New Jersey and will expire in August 2025 and January 2034, respectively. Operating lease right-of-use assets and associated lease liabilities are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments to be made over the expected lease term. As the implicit rate is not determinable in its leases, Lexicon uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. Lexicon does not apply this accounting to those leases with terms of twelve months or less.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the right-of-use assets for the office space leases of $5.4 million and $5.5 million, respectively, are separately included in operating lease right-of-use-assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Current liabilities relating to the leases were included in accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet (as further described in Note 4) and long-term operating lease liabilities are separately included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred lease expense of $0.4 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company made cash payments for lease liabilities of $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the weighted-average remaining lease terms were 8.9 years and 9 years, respectively, with weighted-average discount rates of 9.6%.
