NOTE 10—LEASES

Our primary involvement with leases is as a lessee where we lease properties to support our business. A majority of our leases are operating leases of office space. For these leases, we have elected to account for the lease and non-lease components together as a single lease component. Our operating leases expire at various dates through 2032 without taking into consideration available renewal options, and many such leases require variable lease payments by us for property taxes, insurance premiums, common area maintenance and other costs. Certain of these leases also have extension or termination options, and we assess the likelihood of exercising such options. If it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the options, we include the impact in the measurement of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

Our right-of-use assets for operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use-assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our lease liabilities for operating leases are included in other current liabilities for the current portion and in operating lease liabilities for the long-term portion. We use our incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. Our operating lease expense is included in costs and expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. Total operating lease expense consists of operating lease cost, which is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and variable lease cost, which is recognized based on actual amounts incurred. We also sublease certain immaterial properties and sublease income is included as a reduction of rental expense.

In fiscal 2019, we entered into agreements related to the construction and leasing of two buildings on our existing corporate campus in San Diego, California. Under these agreements, we will act as the construction agent, a financial institution will own the buildings and we will lease the property for a term of five years upon their completion expected in December 2020. The terms of these agreements include provisions that require or limit, among other financial ratios and measurements, the permitted levels of debt, coverage of cash interest expense, and under certain circumstances, payments of dividends or other distributions to shareholders. As of September 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants included in these agreements.

Rental expense for leases classified as operating leases under ASC 840 for the years ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $13.3 million and $11.6 million, respectively. Sublease income for the years ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 totaled $0.2 million in each year and has been netted against rent expense.
