Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Obligations

Right-of-Use Assets and Lease ObligationsThe Company leases all realty used as its production and warehouse facilities, corporate headquarters, commercialization operations center and research and laboratory facilities. None of its three leases include the characteristics specified in ASC 842, Leases, that require classification as financing leases and, accordingly, these leases are accounted for as operating leases. These leases provide remaining terms between 1.5 and 5.0 years, including renewal options expected to be exercised to extend the lease periods.

The Company does not recognize a right-to use asset and lease liability for short-term leases, which have terms of 12 months or less on its consolidated balance sheet. For longer-term lease arrangements that are recognized on the Company's consolidated balance sheet, the right-of-use asset and lease liability is initially measured at the commencement date based upon the present value of the lease payments due under the lease. These payments represent the combination of the fixed lease and fixed non-lease components that are due under the arrangement. The costs of associated with the Company's short-term leases, as well as variable costs relating to the Company's lease arrangements, are not material to the consolidated financial results.

The implicit interest rates of the Company's lease arrangements are generally not readily determinable and as such, the Company applies an incremental borrowing rate, which is established based upon the information available at the lease commencement date, to determine the present value of lease payments due under an arrangement. Measurement of the operating lease liability reflects an estimated discount rate of 16.9% applied to minimum lease payments, including expected renewals, based on the incremental borrowing rate experienced in the Company’s collateralized debt refinancing.

Right-of-use assets recorded upon adoption of ASC 842 totaled $4,048. The Company's lease costs are recorded manufacture and supply, research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses in its consolidated statements of income. For the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2021, total operating lease expenses totaled $431 and $1,294, respectively, including variable lease expenses such as common area maintenance and operating costs of $117 and $352, respectively. For the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2020, total operating lease expenses totaled $377 and $819, respectively, including variable lease expenses such as common area maintenance and operating costs of $60 and $166, respectively.
