As of September 25, 2022, outstanding leases have remaining lease terms ranging from 1 year to 17 years. The Company has additional operating leases that have not yet commenced as of September 25, 2022 and, therefore, were not included as operating right-of-use assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 25, 2022. These operating leases are anticipated to commence between the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and the second quarter of fiscal 2023 with lease terms of 5 years to 7 years. The estimated fair value of these operating lease right-of-use assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities to be recorded on our balance sheet upon lease commencement is approximately $9.2 million.
