The Company rents microturbine equipment to its customers for terms up to thirty-six months with an extension option, which may impact the lease term. Monthly rental payments are fixed; however, the leases may include variable payments for fuel, excess labor, additional equipment, or technician labor and engineering support. As further described below, the Company rents certain microturbine equipment back from customers and subleases this equipment to end users as a part of its Energy-as-a-Service business.

Lessee

The Company leases facilities and equipment under various non-cancelable operating and finance leases expiring at various times through Fiscal 2037. All of the leases require the Company to pay maintenance, insurance and property taxes. The lease agreements for primary office and manufacturing facilities provide for rent escalation over the lease term and renewal options for five-year periods. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which may include extension periods.

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company did not enter into any rental agreements to rent used microturbine equipment from customers where that equipment was not currently in use. The existing rental agreements provide the Company an option to extend the lease; however, the Company is not likely to exercise these options and therefore not included in the determination of the lease term. As of June 30, 2024, lease commitments totaled approximately 18.4 MW of microturbines and had an average term of 36 months and a total commitment value of approximately $18.7 million.
