The Company leases and subleases owned and leased properties to dealers and other tenants and subtenants which are accounted for as operating or sales-type leases. The majority of leases and subleases are for periods of up to 10 years, which may be a fixed period or a shorter period with an option or series of renewal options, and in certain cases with additional renewal options past such 10-year period. Some of the lease agreements include lease payments which are based upon the tenant’s or subtenant’s sales subject to fixed minimum lease payments. At the time that an agreement is entered into, the dealers and other tenants and subtenants often post a security deposit as collateral. Total operating lease income was approximately $16.6 million and $10.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Lease income is included in other revenues, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
