15. Derivative Financial Instruments

Our objective and strategy in using interest rate derivatives is to manage exposure to interest rate movements, thereby minimizing the effect of interest rate changes and the effect they could have on future cash outflows (forecasted interest payments), on a forecasted issuance of long-term debt, or on outstanding floating rate debt. We typically enter into treasury rate locks, interest rate swaps, and forward swaps to accomplish this objective. We do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. We recognize derivative instruments at fair value on a recurring basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and classify the derivatives within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. We adjust our Consolidated Balance Sheets on a quarterly basis to reflect the current fair market value of the derivative instruments.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we held 10 and 13 derivative contracts, which have each been designated as cash flow hedges under ASC Topic 815, "Derivatives and Hedging." The risks being hedged are the interest rate risk related to outstanding floating rate debt and forecasted debt issuance transactions, and the benchmark interest rates used are the SOFR and the SONIA Rate. The unrealized gains or losses on the derivative instruments are recorded in AOCI and are reclassified to Interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the same period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. We estimate that $14.2 million will be reclassified as a reduction to Interest expense over the next 12 months for all of our outstanding cash flow hedges. Cash flow from these derivative instruments is classified in the same category as the cash flow items being hedged on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
