We have entered into interest rate derivatives to hedge the current and future interest rate payments on our variable rate debt. These derivative financial instruments can include interest rate swaps, caps, floors, U.S. treasury locks, options and forward contracts.

As of June 30, 2024, we had interest rate caps, swaps and U.S. treasury locks outstanding, with underlying variable benchmark interest rates of daily SOFR or Term SOFR, as applicable.

Some of our agreements with derivative counterparties require a two-way cash collateralization of derivative fair values. As of June 30, 2024, we did not have cash collateral. As of December 31, 2023, we had cash collateral of $1 million from various counterparties and the obligation to return this collateral was recorded in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities. We had not advanced any cash collateral to counterparties as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

The counterparties to our interest rate derivatives are primarily major international financial institutions. We continually monitor our positions and the credit ratings of the counterparties involved and limit the amount of credit exposure to any one party. We could be exposed to potential losses due to the credit risk of non-performance by these counterparties. We have not experienced any losses to date.

Our derivative assets are recorded in other assets and our derivative liabilities are recorded in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
