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. During the year ended December 31,2019, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. As of December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any outstanding interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.

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 $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

During December 2019, in connection with the paydown of the remainder of the outstanding term loans, the Company terminated the remaining interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $280 million for a receipt of $36,000. Following these terminations, $25,000 was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is being recorded as an adjustment to interest expense over the term of the original hedges and respective borrowings. Of the amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income following these terminations, $9,000 was recorded as a decrease to interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 and approximately

$16,000 remained in accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2019.

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. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 the Company recorded ineffectiveness loss of zero, zero and $0.2 million, 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 no additional amount to be reclassified to interest expense.
