As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, operating ROU assets and lease liabilities were $27.3 and $27.2 ($5.8 of which was current), and $29.0 and $28.7 ($5.1 of which was current), respectively. The weighted-average remaining term for lease contracts was 5.1 years at December 31, 2021, with maturity dates ranging from September 2022 to February 2029. The weighted-average discount rate was 2.1% at December 31, 2021. ROU assets are classified as property, plant and equipment, net in the consolidated balance sheets.

We incurred $12.1, $11.1, and $10.2 of rental expense under operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Certain operating leases contain rent escalation clauses and lease concessions that require additional rental payments in the later years of the term. Rent expense for these types of leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease term. Adjustments for straight-line rental expense for the respective periods was not material and as such, the majority of expense recognized was reflected in cash used in operating activities for the respective periods. This expense consisted primarily of payments for base rent on building and equipment leases. Payments related to short-term lease costs and taxes and variable service charges on leased properties were immaterial. In addition, we have the right, but no obligation, to renew certain leases for various renewal terms.

The following table summarizes future minimum lease payments for non-cancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2021:

We lease equipment manufactured by Chart primarily through our Cryo-Lease program as sales-type and operating leases. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, our short-term net investment in sales-type leases was $9.3 and $0.2, respectively and is included in other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Our long-term net investment in sales-type leases was $31.9 and $0.5 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and is included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. For sales-type leases, interest income was $0.9 and $0.1 in the consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Operating leases offered by Chart may include early termination options. At the end of a lease, a lessee generally has the option to either extend the lease, purchase the underlying equipment for a fixed price or return it to Chart. The lease agreements clearly define applicable return conditions and remedies for non-compliance to ensure that leased equipment will be in good operating condition upon return.
