DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had outstanding interest rate swaps with a combined notional value of $280 million that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. During March 2019, in connection with a partial paydown of the Company’s outstanding term loans, the Company terminated interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $90 million.  During June 2019, in connection with a subsequent partial paydown of the Company’s outstanding unsecured term loans, the Company terminated interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $160 million. During August 2019, in connection with a partial paydown of the Company’s outstanding unsecured term loans, the Company terminated rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $145 million. These paydowns resulted in the Company accelerating the reclassification of gains from other comprehensive income to earnings as a result of the hedged forecasted transactions no longer being probable to occur, amounting to $0.1 million and $1.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The Company recorded no ineffectiveness gain or loss during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and recorded ineffectiveness gain (loss) of $47,000 and $(127,000) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, which is included in interest and other investment income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations, attributable to a floor mismatch in the underlying indices of the derivatives and the hedged interest payments made on its variable-rate debt. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $0.2 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense.
