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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any outstanding interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.

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 three months ending March 31, 2021 and 2020 (dollars in thousands):
