| Fair Value Measurements and Interest Rate Derivatives |
4. Fair Value Measurements and Interest Rate Derivatives Fair Value Measurements As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying amount of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses were representative of their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. A fair value measurement is based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in an orderly transaction. The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is as follows: | | Level 1 | Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | | | Level 2 | Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or the liability; or inputs that are |
| derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. | | | Level 3 | Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available. |
As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company measured its interest rate derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company estimated the fair value of its interest rate derivatives using Level 2 measurements based on quotes obtained from the counterparties, which are based upon the consideration that would be required to terminate the agreements. Fair Value of Debt As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 60.7% and 70.4%, respectively, of the Company’s outstanding debt had fixed interest rates, including the effects of interest rate swap derivatives. The Company uses Level 3 measurements to estimate the fair value of its debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates. The Company’s principal balances and fair market values of its consolidated debt as of March 31, 2026 (unaudited) and December 31, 2025 were as follows (in thousands): | | | | | | | | | | | | | March 31, 2026 | | December 31, 2025 | | Carrying Amount (1) | | Fair Value (2) | | Carrying Amount (1) | | Fair Value (2) | Debt | $ | 955,000 | | $ | 953,446 | | $ | 930,000 | | $ | 929,162 | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| (1) | The principal balance of debt is presented before any unamortized deferred financing costs. |
| (2) | Due to changes in market conditions and the economic environment, actual interest rates could vary materially from those estimated, which would result in variances in the Company’s calculations of the fair market value of its debt. |
Interest Rate Derivatives The Company’s interest rate swap derivatives, which are not designated as effective cash flow hedges, consisted of the following at March 31, 2026 (unaudited) and December 31, 2025 (in thousands): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Estimated Fair Value of Assets (Liabilities) (1) | | | Effective | Maturity | | Notional | | March 31, | | December 31, | Hedged Debt | Fixed Rate | Date | Date | | Amount | | 2026 | | 2025 | Term Loan 2 | 3.675 | % | March 17, 2023 | March 17, 2026 | | $ | N/A | | $ | N/A | | $ | — | Term Loan 2 | 3.931 | % | September 14, 2023 | September 14, 2026 | | $ | 100,000 | | | (124) | | | (311) | Term Loan 2 | 4.020 | % | January 31, 2025 | November 7, 2026 | | $ | 100,000 | | | (213) | | | (491) | Term Loan 1 | 3.226 | % | September 9, 2025 | September 9, 2028 | | $ | 210,000 | | | 1,679 | | | 395 | Term Loan 1 | 3.206 | % | January 10, 2026 | January 10, 2028 | | $ | 65,000 | | | 457 | | | 85 | | | | | | | | | | $ | 1,799 | | $ | (322) |
| (1) | All of the Company’s swap agreements are indexed to CME Term SOFR. The fair values of the swap derivative assets were included in prepaid expenses and other assets, net on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The fair values of the swap derivative liabilities were included in other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. |
Noncash changes in the fair values of the Company’s interest rate derivatives resulted in a (decrease) increase to interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 as follows (unaudited and in thousands): | | | | | | | | | Three Months Ended March 31, | | | 2026 | | 2025 | Noncash interest on derivatives, net | | $ | (2,121) | | $ | 982 |
