Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS, HEDGING ACTIVITIES AND OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME | DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS, HEDGING ACTIVITIES AND OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME In order to manage potential future variable interest rate risk, we enter into interest rate derivative agreements from time to time. We do not use interest rate derivative agreements for trading or speculative purposes. The agreements with each of our derivative counterparties provide that in the event of default on any of our indebtedness, we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations. The following table summarizes the terms and fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments that were designated and qualified as part of a hedging relationship as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (dollars in thousands):

(1)Derivatives in an asset position are included within “Prepaid and other assets” and derivatives in a liability position are included within “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. (2)The derivative agreements swap a blended fixed rate of 4.52% for a blended floating rate of three-month SOFR plus 3.70%. (3)The forward-starting interest rate swaps were terminated in conjunction with the issuance of the Notes Due 2034. In December 2023, we entered into three forward-starting interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts totaling $150.0 million that swap a floating rate of compound SOFR for a fixed rate of 3.44% with an effective date of June 28, 2024 and a maturity date of June 28, 2034. These interest rate swaps fixed the interest rate on a portion of the Notes Due 2034, which were issued in January 2024, and were subsequently terminated upon issuance of the Notes Due 2034. We received $0.7 million upon termination, which is included as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and is being reclassified as a reduction to interest expense over the term of the debt. In October 2022, we terminated two forward-starting interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $150.0 million and a maturity date of June 1, 2032 and received $30.9 million upon termination. This settlement is included as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and is being reclassified to earnings over time as the hedged items are recognized in earnings. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we accelerated the reclassification of $3.1 million in accumulated other comprehensive income as a reduction to interest expense as a result of a portion of the hedged forecasted transaction becoming probable not to occur. In January 2024, we completed a public offering of the Notes Due 2034. The remaining balance in accumulated other comprehensive income is being reclassified as a reduction to interest expense over the term of the debt. These interest rate derivative agreements are the only assets or liabilities that we record at fair value on a recurring basis. The valuation of these assets and liabilities is determined using widely accepted techniques including discounted cash flow analysis. These techniques consider the contractual terms of the derivatives (including the period to maturity) and use observable market-based inputs such as interest rate curves and implied volatilities. We also incorporate credit valuation adjustments into the fair value measurements to reflect nonperformance risk on both our part and that of the respective counterparties. We have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, although the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives use Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to earnings over time as the hedged items are recognized in earnings. Approximately $4.9 million and $4.2 million was reclassified as a reduction to interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As interest payments on our derivatives are made over the next 12 months, we estimate the decrease to interest expense to be approximately $22.5 million, assuming the current SOFR curve. Unrealized gains and losses on our interest rate derivative agreements are the only components of the change in accumulated other comprehensive income.
