Derivative Financial Instruments Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate the effects of interest rate fluctuations on specific forecasted transactions as well as recognized financial obligations or assets. Utilizing derivative instruments allows the Company to manage the risk of fluctuations in interest rates and their related potential impact on future earnings and cash flows. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. At June 30, 2025, a one percentage point increase or decrease in the underlying interest rate curve would result in a corresponding increase or decrease in the fair value of the derivative instruments by up to $46 million.
In April 2022, the Company entered into two interest rate swap instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges and mature in May 2026 on $142 million of variable rate mortgage debt secured by a portfolio of outpatient medical buildings (see Note 10). In February 2023, the Company modified these two interest rate swap instruments to reflect the change in the related variable rate mortgage debt’s interest rate benchmarks from LIBOR to SOFR (see Note 10).
In August 2022, the Company entered into two forward-starting interest rate swap instruments on the $500 million aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Term Loans (see Note 10). The interest rate swap instruments are designated as cash flow hedges.
In January 2024, the Company entered into forward-starting interest rate swap instruments on the $750 million aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Term Loan (see Note 10). The interest rate swap instruments are designated as cash flow hedges.
Additionally, on March 1, 2024, concurrently with the consummation of the Merger, the Company acquired: (i) three interest rate swap instruments on the $400 million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Term Loan that are designated as cash flow hedges and (ii) one interest rate swap instrument on $36 million of variable rate mortgage debt that was designated as a cash flow hedge (see Note 10), prior to its maturity in October 2024.
