DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. An interest rate cap is a financial contract whereby the Company pays an upfront premium to a counterparty, and in return, if the specified reference interest rate exceeds the agreed-upon strike rate during the contract period, the counterparty makes payments to the Company, offsetting the increased interest expense exceeding the strike rate.
The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. 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 $0.8 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had two interest rate caps outstanding and in effect with a notional amount of $185.0 million designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, and two undesignated interest rate cap outstanding and in effect with a notional amount $145.0 million.
In July 2025, the Company dedesignated the interest rate caps previously designated as hedging instruments in connection with the repayment of the 2024 Term Loan. Additionally, the Company terminated two interest rate caps previously designated as a hedging instrument in connection with the repayment of debt. As a result of these transactions, $0.5 million of deferred losses were recognized immediately within interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2025.

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 December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any interest rate derivatives in a net liability position.
