7. Derivative Financial Instruments

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s borrowings.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

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. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt.

The following table sets forth a summary of our interest rate swaps as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Represents the notional value of interest rate swaps effective as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
(2)
As of June 30, 2025, the fair value of five of the interest rate swaps were in an asset position of approximately $10.3 million and the remaining three interest rate swaps were in a liability position of approximately $0.2 million. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of five of the interest rate swaps were in an asset position of approximately $17.8 million and the remaining three interest rate swaps were in a liability position of approximately $0.5 million.
(3)
These interest rate swaps have been de-designated as a result of the hedge transactions related to these swaps no longer being probable of occurring.

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 (“AOCI”) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $11,672 will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense.

The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $105 and $132, related to unrealized gain from ineffective hedges, respectively, of which $215 and $346 is recorded within Unrealized gain from interest rate swap for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $110 and $214 is recorded within Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were no ineffective hedges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

The following table sets forth the impact of our interest rate swaps on our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Fair Value of Interest Rate Swaps

The Company’s valuation of the interest rate swaps is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves.

The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company either defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. Specifically, the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the Company's default on the indebtedness.

As of June 30, 2025, the fair value of three of the eight interest rate swaps were in a net liability position. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at June 30, 2025, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value.
