Note 2 – Leases

The Company mainly leases office space and cannabis cultivation, processing and retail dispensary space. Leases with an initial term of less than 12 months are not recorded on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date and lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to five years or more. The Company has determined that it was reasonably certain that the renewal options on the majority of its cannabis cultivation, processing and retail dispensary space would be exercised based on operating history and knowledge, current understanding of future business needs and the level of investment in leasehold improvements, among other considerations. The incremental borrowing rate used in the calculation of the lease liability is based on the rate available to the parent company. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Certain subsidiaries of the Company rent or sublease certain office space to/from other subsidiaries of the Company. These intercompany subleases are eliminated on consolidation and have lease terms ranging from less than one year to 15 years.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded operating lease expenses of $2.3 million and $6.8 million, respectively (September 30, 2022—$2.4 million and $7.1 million, respectively), which are included in costs and expenses applicable to revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company has entered into multiple sublease agreements pursuant to which it serves as lessor to the sublessees. The gross rental income and underlying lease expense are presented gross on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded sublease income of $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively (September 30, 2022 – $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively), which is included in other income on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations.
