DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company has no outstanding derivative financial instruments as of June 30, 2025. On April 19, 2023, the Company entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap ("2023 Swap") with respect to $200 million principal amount of the $400 million 2022 Term Loan through the initial loan maturity date of March 3, 2025, fixing the underlying SOFR rate for this portion of the loan at 4.298%. On January 26, 2024, the Company entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap ("2024 Swap") with respect to the remaining $200 million of the $400 million 2022 Term Loan through the initial maturity date of March 3, 2025, fixing the underlying SOFR rate for this portion of the loan at 4.6675%. These swaps effectively fixed the underlying SOFR rate at a weighted average of 4.483% for the entire $400 million principal amount through the initial maturity date. The 2023 and 2024 Swaps expired upon their March 3, 2025 maturity. As of December 31, 2024, the fair values of the 2023 Swap and 2024 Swap on the 2022 Term Loan resulted in a $10,000 asset and a $115,000 liability, respectively. On September 27, 2022, the Company entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap ("2022 Swap") with respect to the $350 million 2021 Term Loan through the initial loan maturity date of August 30, 2024. This swap effectively fixed the underlying SOFR rate at 4.234%. The 2022 Swap expired upon its August 30, 2024 maturity. The Company's objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with the 2021 and 2022 Term Loans (referred to herein as "cash flow hedges"). For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The counterparties under these swaps are major financial institutions, and the swaps contain provisions whereby if the Company defaults on certain of its indebtedness, and such default results in repayment of such indebtedness being, or becoming capable of being, accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default under the swaps. There are no collateral requirements related to these swaps. The table below presents the effect of the Company's derivative financial instruments on the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 ($ in thousands):
Fair value of cash flow hedges is determined using observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities. These inputs are considered Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy and the Company engages a third-party expert to determine these inputs. These fair values are determined using the conventional industry methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts made between the Company and its counterparties to the cash flow hedges. These variable cash receipts are based on the expectation of future interest rates which are derived from observed market interest rate curves. In addition, any credit valuation adjustments are considered in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk to the extent they would be significant inputs to the calculation. For the periods presented, credit valuation adjustments were not considered to be significant inputs.
