The Company conducts a significant part of its theater operations in leased properties under noncancelable operating and finance leases with base terms generally ranging from 10 to 25 years. In addition to fixed lease payments, some of the leases provide for variable lease payments and some require the payment of taxes, insurance, common area maintenance and other costs applicable to the property. Some variable lease payments include payments based on a percentage of sales or a percentage of sales over defined thresholds. Other variable lease payments include payments adjusted periodically for inflation, changes in attendance or changes in average ticket price. The Company can renew, at its option, many of its leases at defined or then market rental rates for various renewal periods. Some leases also provide for escalating rent payments throughout the lease term. See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our leases.
In addition to our theater properties, we currently own an office building in Plano, Texas, which is our global headquarters. We lease office space in Frisco, Texas and a warehouse in McKinney, Texas. We also lease office space in eight regions in Latin America for our local teams.
