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 September 30, 2020, the Company did not have any outstanding interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk

During 2019, in connection with the paydown of the Company’s outstanding term loans, the Company terminated interest rate swaps with the corresponding notional amount.  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. No additional amounts were recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

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. 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.

The table below presents the effect of the Company’s derivative financial instruments on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ending September 30, 2020 and 2019 (dollars in thousands):

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

As of September 30, 2020, the Company did not have any outstanding derivatives.
