Leases [Abstract]  
Leases Leases
The Company's portfolio of leases contains both finance and operating leases that relate to real estate and manufacturing equipment. Substantially all of the value of the Company's lease portfolio relates to the Master Lease with Store Master Funding XII, LLC (“Store”), an affiliate of Store Capital Corporation ("Store Capital") that was entered into in 2016 and amended with the 2019 American Stainless acquisitions as well as the 2020 sale of land at the Munhall facility. As of December 31, 2020, operating lease liabilities related to the master lease agreement with Store Capital totaled $32.9 million, or 98 percent of the total lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
In determining the lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset for its operating leases, the Company calculates the present value of future lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease, when available, or the Company's
incremental borrowing rate ("IBR"). The Company determines the appropriate IBR by identifying a reference rate and making adjustments that take into consideration financing options and certain lease-specific circumstances. Such adjustments include assuming the Store Capital lease would require two lenders with the secondary lender being secured on a second lien requiring mezzanine rates. The Company utilizes a single discount rate for its portfolio of operating leases because of similar lease characteristics; the resulting calculation does not differ materially from applying the standard to the individual leases.
On January 2, 2019, the Company and Store Master Funding XII, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the Company's sale-leaseback partner, amended and restated the Master Lease, pursuant to which the Company leases the Statesville and Troutman, NC facilities, purchased by Store Capital from American Stainless on January 1, 2019, for the remainder of the initial term of 20 years set forth in the Master Lease, with two renewal options of 10 years each. Because the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise these renewal options, the options are not considered in determining the lease term and associated potential option payments are excluded from lease payments. The Master Lease includes a rent escalator equal to the lesser of 1.25 times the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index since the previous increase or two percent.
On September 10, 2020, the Company and Store closed on a transaction pursuant to which Store sold to a third party approximately 12.5 acres of unimproved land and immaterial improvements located at Synalloy’s facility in Munhall, Pennsylvania. Synalloy subleases the Munhall facility to Bristol Metals, LLC.
As a result of the sale, on September 10, 2020, the Company and Store entered into a Third Amended and Restated Master Lease Agreement (the “Third Master Lease”) to reduce the Company's rent at the Munhall facility pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Second Amended and Restated Master Lease Agreement between the parties dated January 2, 2019. The Third Master Lease was determined to be a lease modification that qualified for a change of accounting on the existing lease and not a separate contract. Upon modification of the Third Master Lease, the right-of-use asset and operating lease liability were remeasured using an incremental borrowing rate determined on the date of modification. As such, the Company recognized a reduction in the right-of-use asset and operating lease liability related to the Third Master Lease of $3.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively, and recognized a gain on the modification of $0.2 million, which is reported within operating expenses on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Finance Leases 2.44  %
