12. Financial Instruments:
The Company uses interest rate related derivative instruments to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates on its variable-rate debt instruments. The Company does not speculate using derivative instruments.
By using derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates, the Company exposes itself to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is an asset, the counterparty owes the Company, which creates credit risk for the Company. When the fair value of a derivative contract is a liability, the Company owes the counterparty and therefore, the Company is not exposed to the counterparty’s credit risk in those circumstances. The Company minimizes counterparty credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high quality counterparties. The derivative instruments entered into by the Company do not contain credit-risk-related contingent features.
Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a derivative instrument that results from a change in interest rates. The market risk associated with the Company’s derivative instruments is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken.
Use of Derivative Financial Instruments to Manage Interest Rate Risk. The Company is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates on its senior secured credit facilities. Changes in interest rates will not affect the market value of such debt but will affect the Company’s interest payments over the term of the loans. Likewise, an increase in interest rates could have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company hedges the interest rate fluctuations on debt obligations through interest rate cap agreements. The Company records these agreements at fair value as assets or liabilities in its condensed consolidated balance sheets. As the derivatives are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the gains or losses on the interest rate cap agreements are recorded in stockholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax. Reclassifications of the gains and losses on the interest rate cap agreements into earnings are recorded as part of interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income as the Company makes its interest payments on the hedged portion of its senior secured credit facilities. Fair value is determined based on estimated amounts that would be received or paid to terminate the contracts at the reporting date based on quoted market prices.
In November 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement to mitigate interest volatility from July 2020 through July 2022, with a cap rate of 3.50% on $500,000 of notional variable-rate debt and a $3,380 premium annuitized during the effective period. In February 2020, the Company restructured this agreement to lower the interest cap rate to 2.50% with an incremental $130 premium annuitized during the effective period. In March 2020, the Company again amended such interest rate cap agreement to lower the cap rate to 0.84% for an additional $900 premium annuitized during the effective period. The term and notional amount remained unchanged, with a total cumulative annuitized premium on the $500,000 of notional variable-rate debt of $4,410.
In July 2020, the Company entered into an additional interest rate cap agreement to mitigate interest rate volatility from September 2020 to August 2023, with a cap rate of 1.00% on $400,000 of notional variable-rate debt and a $416 premium annuitized during the effective period. The cap rate in effect at March 31, 2023 was 1.00%.
In January 2022, the Company entered into two new forward starting interest rate cap agreements, with a cap rate of 1.00% on $250,000 of notional variable-rate debt each and a $9,953 of total premium annuitized during the effective period. The term for one interest rate cap is August 2022 through October 2024 and the term for the other interest rate cap is September 2023 through October 2025. The cap rate for the interest rate cap in effect at March 31, 2023 was 1.00%.
In November 2022, the Company entered into a new forward starting interest rate cap agreement to mitigate interest rate volatility from August 2023 through July 2024, with a cap rate of 1.00% on $150,000 of notional variable-rate debt and mitigate interest rate volatility from August 2024 through July 2026, with a cap rate of 1.00% on $175,000 of notional variable-rate debt. The $150,000 of notional variable-debt has $5,372 premium annuitized during the effective period and the $175,000 of notional variable-rate debt has $12,445 premium annuitized during the effective period.
In February 2023, the Company amended all interest rate cap agreements to replace LIBOR with SOFR as the benchmark interest rate, with all other terms of the agreements remaining the same. This amendment changed the previously annuitized premiums on the existing interest rate cap agreements. This resulted in a reduction in the premium annuitized on the $400,000 of notional variable-debt of $172, a reduction in the premium annuitized on the $250,000 of notional variable-debt of $2,022, a reduction in the premium annuitized on the $150,000 of notional variable-debt of $281 and a reduction in the premium annuitized on the $175,000 of notional variable-debt of $651.
In May 2023, the Company entered into two new forward starting interest rate cap agreements to mitigate interest rate volatility from November 2024 through October 2025, with a cap rate of 1.00% on $200,000 of notional variable-rate debt and mitigate interest rate volatility from November 2025 through October 2026, with a cap rate of 1.00% on $450,000 of notional variable-rate debt. The $200,000 of notional variable-debt has $4,258 premium annuitized during the effective period and the $450,000 of notional variable-rate debt has $9,555 premium annuitized during the effective period.
