7. LEASES

As Lessee

We have entered into ground leases for portions of the land at Springfield Town Center and Plymouth Meeting Mall. We have also entered into an office lease for our headquarters location, as well as vehicle, solar panel and equipment leases as a lessee. The initial terms of these agreements generally range from three to 40 years, with certain agreements containing extension options for up to an additional 60 years. Upon lease execution, the Company measures a liability for the present value of future lease payments over the noncancelable period of the lease and any renewal option period we are reasonably certain of exercising. Certain agreements require that we pay a portion of reimbursable expenses such as CAM, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes. These payments are not included in the calculation of the lease liability and are presented as variable lease costs.

Our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit interest rate; therefore, we estimate our incremental borrowing rate to calculate the present value of remaining lease payments. In determining our incremental borrowing rate, we considered the lease term, market interest rates and estimates regarding our implied credit rating using market data with adjustments to determine an appropriate incremental borrowing rate.

The following table presents additional information pertaining to the Company’s leases:

As Lessor

As of June 30, 2022, the fixed contractual lease payments, including minimum rents and fixed CAM amounts, to be received over the next five years pursuant to the terms of noncancelable operating leases with initial terms greater than one year are included in the table below. The amounts presented assume that no leases are renewed and no renewal options are exercised. Additionally, the table does not include variable lease payments that may be received under certain leases for percentage rents or the reimbursement of operating costs, such as common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes. These variable lease payments are recognized in the period when the applicable expenditures are incurred or, in the case of percentage rents, when the sales data is made available.
