Leases

Approximately 90% of the Company's ROU assets and lease liabilities relate to office facilities leases, with the remaining amounts representing primarily ground station leases. The leases have various expiration dates through 2031. Certain of the Company’s lease agreements include escalating lease payments.

Certain lease agreements contain renewal or early termination provisions. The lease term includes periods covered by options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options, and excludes periods beyond the stated lease termination date for which it is not reasonably certain that an option will be exercised. Extension options generally range from one to five years, and early termination rights are typically subject to contractual notice and payment obligations.

Payments under these leases, including taxes, insurance, maintenance, and escalating amounts, are generally variable and are expensed as incurred in the consolidated statements of operations. Certain ground station leases include variable lease payments based on actual satellite contact minutes utilized. Variable lease payments are excluded from lease liabilities and are recognized as lease expense as incurred.

The Company is the lessor in an operating sublease of office space. Lease income from the sublease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company remains the primary obligor under the head lease; accordingly, the ROU asset and lease liability continue to be recorded within operating lease ROU assets, other accrued expenses, and operating lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company has no subleases classified as finance leases.

Operating lease expenses were $4.4 million and $4.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Aggregate variable lease expenses and short-term lease expenses were $1.5 million and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The lease obligations are secured by the underlying leased assets and, in the event of default, the lessor's claim is limited to those assets. Operating cash payments included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities were $2.4 million and $4.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, all of which were included in net cash used in operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Amortization of ROU assets was $3.1 million and $4.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
