Part II. Other Information

Note 3. Leases

See Note 9.

Leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases based on criteria in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842. The Company has operating leases for its corporate offices, including the Campus Headquarters (as defined below), its manufacturing facilities, warehouses and vehicles, and to a lesser extent, certain equipment and finance leases. Such leases generally have original lease terms between 2 years and 12 years, and often includeone or more options to renew. Some leases also include early termination options, which can be exercised under specific conditions. The Company includes options to extend the lease term if the options are reasonably certain of being exercised. The Company does not have residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants associated with its leases.

On January 14, 2021, the Company entered into a 12-year lease withtwo 5-year renewal options (“Campus Lease”) to house its corporate headquarters, lab and innovation space (“Campus Headquarters”) in El Segundo, California. Although the Company is involved in the design of the tenant improvements of the Campus Headquarters, the Company does not have title or possession of the assets during construction. In addition, the Company does not have the ability to control the leased Campus Headquarters until each phase of the tenant improvements is complete.

The Company paid $1.8 million and $6.5 million in rent prepayments and payments towards construction costs of the Campus Headquarters in the three months ended March 29, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. The rent prepayments and payments towards construction costs are initially recorded in Prepaid lease costs, non-current in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and will ultimately be reclassified as a component of a right-of-use asset upon lease commencement for each phase of the lease.

On September 17, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the Campus Lease, which amendment: (i) revised the square footage of the premises, building and project to: (a) increase the Company’s base rent by approximately $851,000 over the initial lease term; (b) adjust the Company’s percentage share of direct expenses; and (c) increase the tenant improvement allowance to reflect a reduction in the scope of landlord’s work; (ii) specify which improvements must be removed by the Company from the premises if the premises are not occupied in their entirety throughout the initial lease term and first extension term; and (iii) address other ministerial matters concerning the Campus Lease. Costs associated with this amendment are included in operating lease costs related to research and development expenses and SG&A expenses and are reflected in the tables below.

The lease on the Company’s Manhattan Beach Project Innovation Center expired on January 31, 2024. Costs associated with this lease through its expiration date are included in operating lease costs related to research and development expenses and are reflected in the tables below.

Given the Company’s intention to reduce its overall operating expenses and cash expenditures, on February 2, 2024, the Company terminated the agreement to purchase a property in Enschede, the Netherlands (the “Enschede Property”) and the security deposit was returned to the Company, which was subsequently paid to the purchaser of the property to be applied towards the deposit and future lease payments. The Company entered into a lease agreement with the purchaser of the property to lease the approximately 114,000 square foot property for an initial period offive years with an option to renew for an additional five years at an annual rent of approximately €1.0 million. The lease is classified as a finance lease in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 29, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Costs associated with this lease are included in finance lease costs related to cost of goods sold and are reflected in the tables below.
