Note 14 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company uses fair value measures to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. GAAP establishes a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes inputs into the valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value measurements associated with assets and liabilities are categorized into one of the following levels of the hierarchy based upon how observable the valuation inputs are that are used in the fair value measurements.

•
Level 1 — The valuation is based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.
•
Level 2 — The valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or derived from a model in which significant inputs or significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
•
Level 3 — The valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the instrument. Level 3 valuations are typically performed using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar methodologies, which incorporates management's own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the instrument or valuations that require significant management judgment or estimation.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis currently include derivative financial instruments and the Fortress Mezzanine Loan. The following tables present the carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by instrument type and based upon the level of the fair value hierarchy within which fair value measurements of the Company’s assets and liabilities are categorized:

The derivative financial instruments are valued in the market using discounted cash flow techniques. These techniques incorporate Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. The market inputs are utilized in the discounted cash flow calculation considering the instrument’s term, notional amount, discount rate and credit risk. Significant inputs to the derivative valuation model for interest rate caps and interest rate swaps are observable in active markets and are classified as Level 2 in the hierarchy. See Note 8 “—Interest Rate Swap Agreements” for further discussion regarding the Company’s interest rate cap and interest rate swap agreements.

The Company elected to measure the Fortress Mezzanine Loan at fair value in accordance with the fair value option. The Fortress Mezzanine Loan is a debt host financial instrument containing embedded features which would otherwise be required to be bifurcated from the debt-host and recognized as separate derivative liabilities subject to initial and subsequent periodic estimated fair value measurements under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The fair value option election for the Fortress Mezzanine Loan is due to the number and complexity of features that would require separate bifurcation absent this election. The fair value of the Fortress Mezzanine Loan is valued using discounted cash flow techniques. This technique incorporates Level 1 and Level 2 inputs.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables and payables are reasonable estimates of their fair value as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 due to the short-term nature of these instruments (Level 1).

At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s indebtedness was comprised of borrowings that bear interest at variable and fixed rates. The fair value of the Company’s borrowings under variable rates at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 approximate their carrying values as the debt is at variable rates currently available and resets on a monthly basis.

The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is estimated by using Level 2 inputs such as discounting the estimated future cash flows using current market rates for similar loans that would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Settlement at such fair value amounts may not be possible.
