Item 2. Properties
We do not own any real estate. Our principal office facilities in the U.S. are located in several leased facilities in Seattle, Washington under leases that expire at various times through April 2011. Our corporate office facilities, excluding customer service office space, in the U.S. comprise a total of 577,000 square feet. Additionally, we have 309,000 square feet of office space that is subleased or is vacant under lease agreements that expire at various times through April 2011.
Our U.S. warehousing and fulfillment operations are housed in six fulfillment centers located in New Castle, Delaware; Fernley, Nevada; Coffeyville, Kansas; Lexington and Campbellsville, Kentucky; and Grand Forks, North Dakota. These fulfillment centers comprise a total of approximately 3.2 million square feet. Our fulfillment center leases expire from 2005 through 2015.
We also lease six facilities located near our fulfillment centers, comprising approximately 1.2 million square feet, which we use for off-site storage and shipping. These offsite storage and shipping facilities are under relatively short-term lease agreements that expire at various times through July 2004 and one longer-term lease through June 2008; following expiration, we intend to renew certain of these leases or consolidate into new offsite facilities, or both.
Our U.S. customer service operations occupy approximately 77,000 square feet of office space and are located in Tacoma, Washington; Huntington, West Virginia; and Grand Forks, North Dakota. The lease terms of these facilities expire from 2006 to 2008.
Our data-center facilities have 120,000 combined square feet, including approximately 40,000 square feet of vacant space at one facility. These facilities are under leases that expire in 2004 and 2009.
We lease additional properties outside the U.S., including approximately 135,000 square feet of corporate office space in Germany, France, Japan, and the United Kingdom, which excludes approximately 40,000 square feet of vacant office space in Germany. We also lease approximately 1 million combined square feet of available fulfillment center space in Germany, France, and the United Kingdom; and approximately 66,000 combined square feet of customer service space in Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom. The fulfillment centers in Germany, the United Kingdom, and France are located in Bad Hersfeld, Marston Gate, and Orleans, and the lease terms expire in December 2009, October 2025, and March 2009.
We believe our properties are suitable and adequate for our present needs, and we periodically evaluate whether additional facilities are necessary. |
