9. LEASES

We primarily lease manufacturing and research facilities, administrative offices, land, tanks, railcars and equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the balance sheets; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our variable lease cost was approximately nil for each of the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our leases have remaining lives from one month to 35 years. Certain lease agreements include one or more options to renew, at our discretion, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term by approximately one year to 30 years or more. Renewal and termination options that we are reasonably certain to exercise have been included in the calculation of the lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. None of our lease agreements contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictions or covenants.

As of December 31, 2022, we have additional leases, primarily for leases of office facilities and rail cars, that have not yet commenced of approximately $4 million. These leases will commence in 2023 with lease terms of up to 10 years.

During November 2020, we entered into a sale and leaseback agreement to sell certain properties in Basel, Switzerland for approximately CHF 67 million (approximately $73 million) and to lease those properties back. This transaction resulted in a gain of approximately CHF 30 million (approximately $33 million).
