Variable Lease Payments: Lessees must explain how they calculate payments that can change, based on factors like usage or performance metrics.

Noncash Information: Supplemental information on lease liabilities arising from obtaining ROU assets, which involves noncash transactions.

Maturity Analyses: A breakdown of when lease liabilities are due, separated into operating and finance leases, typically provided for the next five years.
