LEASES

LEASES

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2021

We lease certain retail stores, warehouses, distribution centers, office spaces and equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases beginning in 2019 and later, we account for lease components including rent, real estate taxes and insurance costs separately from non-lease components, like common-area maintenance fees. Most of our leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term for one or more years. The exercise of the lease option to renew is solely at our discretion.

Operating lease costs were approximately $6.1 million and $6.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Short-term lease costs were approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Operating lease costs were offset by sublease income of $34,000 and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Short-term lease costs represent our costs with respect to leases with a duration of 12 months or less and are not reflected on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
