Leases

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2022

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use (ROU) asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 and related amendments on January 1, 2021, using the optional transition method.

The Company primarily has operating leases for office space. The leases expire on various dates between 2023 and 2029, some of which could include options to extend the lease. In 2014, the Company leased office space in San Francisco for a term of seven years with an option to extend. In 2021, the company exercised its option to extend the San Francisco lease to 2029.

Lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As these leases do not provide an implicit rate, ForgeRock uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease’s commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company considers information including, but not limited to, the lease term, the Company’s credit rating and interest rates of similar debt instruments with comparable credit ratings and security interests. The lease right-of-use assets are increased by any lease prepayments made and reduced by any lease incentives such as tenant improvement allowances. Options to extend the lease term are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that ForgeRock will exercise the extension option. The Company’s operating leases typically include non-lease components such as common-area maintenance costs. ForgeRock has elected to include non-lease components with lease payments for the purpose of calculating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities, to the extent that they are fixed. Non-lease components that are not fixed are expensed as incurred as variable lease payments. Leases with a term of one year or less are not recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, while the associated lease payments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
