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 these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy.
For derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest is incurred on the Company’s variable rate debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $1,948,000 will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a reduction to interest expense. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had 10 interest rate swap agreements, of which six mature on January 31, 2028 and four mature on March 20, 2029.

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. The Company records credit risk valuation adjustments on its interest rate swaps based on the respective credit quality of the Company and the counterparty. The Company believes it mitigates its credit risk by entering into agreements with creditworthy counterparties. As of March 31, 2026, the fair value of derivatives related to counterparties that were in a net liability position was $1,287,000, inclusive of accrued interest but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to the agreement. As of December 31, 2025, the fair value of derivatives related to counterparties that were in a net liability position was $3,499,000, inclusive of accrued interest but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to the agreement. As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no termination events or events of default related to the interest rate swaps.
