Due to the negative effects of COVID-19, the Company implemented measures to reduce its costs, including negotiations with landlords regarding rent concessions. As the rent concessions received and currently being contemplated do not result in a significant increase in cash payments, the Company has elected to account for these concessions as a variable lease payment in accordance with ASC Topic 842. The Company’s right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities have not been remeasured for lease concessions received. Variable lease cost is comprised of percentage rent and common area maintenance, offset by rent concessions received as a result of COVID-19.
