Lessee Accounting

The Company leases certain office spaces, warehouses, facilities, vehicles and equipment. Our leases have maturity dates ranging from January 2024 to September 2036. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Operating lease ROU assets are classified as property, plant and equipment, net in the consolidated balance sheets. Finance lease ROU assets are classified as other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease liabilities are classified as operating lease liabilities, current and operating lease liabilities, non-current. Finance lease liabilities are classified as other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

We incurred $21.1, $16.9 and $12.1 of rental expense under operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, 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 provided by 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.

We incurred $0.7, $0.2 and $0.2 of finance lease interest for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The following table presents the lease balances within our consolidated balance sheets, weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rates related to our leases:

We lease equipment manufactured by Chart primarily through our Cryo-Lease program as sales-type and operating leases. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, our short-term net investment in sales-type leases was $21.4 and $14.5, respectively and is included in other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Our long-term net investment in sales-type leases was $62.1 and $44.3 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. For sales-type leases, interest income was $3.3, $2.4 and $0.9 in the consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, 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.
