We have subleases related to certain of our operating leases. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we recognized $6 million, $10 million and $10 million, respectively, of sublease income. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we recognized impairment costs of $6 million and $16 million, respectively, within impairments and restructuring costs in our consolidated statements of operations associated with changes in the use of certain office spaces, primarily related to subleases where anticipated sublease income was less than the carrying value of the related asset group. Total lease costs associated with short-term leases were not material for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. Other information related to operating leases was as follows for the periods presented (in millions, except for years and percentages): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Year Ended December 31, | | 2024 | | 2023(1) | | 2022 | Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities, net of lease incentives of $—, $— and $9 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively | $ | 46 | | | $ | 42 | | | $ | 34 | | | Right of use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease obligations | $ | 2 | | | $ | (8) | | | $ | 19 | | | Weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases | 6 years | | 6 years | | 7 years | | Weighted average discount rate for operating leases | 9.5 | % | | 9.4 | % | | 8.2 | % | | | | | | | (1) During the year ended December 31, 2023, we amended our existing office space lease for our corporate headquarters in Seattle, Washington, to provide the landlord the option to terminate a portion of our lease prior to the original lease termination date. In December 2023, the landlord exercised the early termination option for the relevant floors effective June 30, 2024. This modification to the lease term resulted in an immediate reduction in the right of use asset and lease liability of $8 million. We ceased use of the terminated space as of December 31, 2023, and as a result, we accelerated recognition of $14 million of amortization for the related right of use asset during the year ended December 31, 2023. |
