During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company entered into an arrangement with a third party cloud service provider for the use of dedicated servers to migrate its infrastructure to the cloud. As the terms of the arrangement convey a finance lease under FASB Topic 842 - Leases (“ASC 842”), the Company accounts for those dedicated servers as leased assets when the lease term commences. The Company accounts for each lease and any non-lease components associated with that lease as a single lease component for all asset classes. The leased dedicated servers are presented as a component of property and equipment, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022. To take advantage of the favorable savings programs offered by the cloud service provider, the Company prepaid the lease payments and therefore does not have a lease liability recorded for the leased assets. Gross property and equipment under finance leases as of September 30, 2022 was $15.9 million with accumulated depreciation of $3.6 million. Finance lease activity as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 was not material.
