Subleases

During the fourth quarter of 2023, we entered into two subleases related to our previous office space in Houston, Texas. The subtenants are responsible for monthly fixed rent and certain operating expenses associated with the office building, including utilities, which are considered variable lease payments. The sublease income is recorded as a reduction of rent expense under our head lease and is included in “General and Administrative” expense on the consolidated statements of operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized total sublease income of $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, including variable lease payments.
