As required under the terms of the lease agreement, the Company incurred prepaid rent of $1.0 million prior to commencement of the lease term, with the current portion previously accounted for within prepaid expenses and other current assets and the long-term portion accounted for within other assets.

Variable lease costs for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 include contingent rental usage, common area maintenance and other operating charges. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company utilized its incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments, which reflects the fixed rate at which the Company could borrow on a collateralized basis the amount of the lease payments in the same currency, for a similar term, in a similar economic environment.

Future minimum lease payments under the Company’s operating leases as of December 31, 2021 were as follows:
