The Company has 31 operating leases for branches (including headquarters) and office spaces, 10 operating leases for vehicles, and one operating lease for equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms ranging from three months to approximately 13 years, none of which has a renewal option reasonably certain of exercise, which has been reflected in the Company’s calculation of the lease term.

The Company has elected the short-term lease recognition exemption such that the Company will not recognize Right of Use (“ROU”) assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term of less than 12 months from the commencement date. The Company has three agreements in 2023 and two agreements in 2022 that qualified as short-term leases.

Certain leases have escalation clauses for operating expenses and real estate taxes. The Company’s non-cancelable operating lease agreements expire through 2036.
