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 December 31, 2016, the Company had outstanding interest rate swaps with a combined notional value of $350 million that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. During the year ending December 31, 2016, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt.



The effective portion of 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 ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. During the years ended December 31, 2016,  2015 and 2014 the Company recorded ineffectiveness gain of $0.6 million, zero and zero, 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 $1.7 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense. 



Undesignated Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate caps not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements but do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in earnings.  The Company recognized expenses of $2,000, $93,000 and $79,000 for the years ended December 31, 2016,  2015 and 2014, respectively, which is included in interest and other investment income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations.
