Derivative instruments
The Company used interest rate swaps and caps to manage exposure to variable cash flows on portions of its borrowings under repurchase agreements. The Company’s repurchase agreements bore interest at a LIBOR-based variable rate and increases in LIBOR could have negatively impacted earnings. Interest rate swap and cap agreements allow the Company to receive a variable rate cash flow based on LIBOR and pay a fixed rate cash flow, mitigating the impact of this exposure.
All of the Company's derivative instruments have matured as of December 31, 2013. The Company’s derivative instruments consisted of the following at December 31, 2012:
