Derivative Financial Instruments
10. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The sole objective of our use of derivative financial instruments is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with our investments and/or financing transactions. These derivatives may or may not qualify as net investment, cash flow, or fair value hedges under the hedge accounting requirements of ASC 815 – “Derivatives and Hedging.” Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage our exposure to interest rate movements and other identified risks. Refer to Note 2 for additional discussion of the accounting for designated and
non-designated
hedges.
The use of derivative financial instruments involves certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements do not perform as agreed. To mitigate this risk, we only enter into derivative financial instruments with counterparties that have appropriate credit ratings and are major financial institutions with which we and our affiliates may also have other financial relationships.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
Certain of our transactions expose us to interest rate risks, which include a fixed versus floating rate mismatch between our assets and liabilities. We use derivative financial instruments, which includes interest rate caps, and may also include interest rate swaps, options, floors, and other interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge interest rate risk.
The following tables detail our outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk (notional amount in thousands):

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our floating rate debt. During the twelve months following June 30, 2021, we estimate that an additional $7,000 will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as an increase to interest expense.
Net Investment Hedges of Foreign Currency Risk
Certain of our international investments expose us to fluctuations in foreign interest rates and currency exchange rates. These fluctuations may impact the value of our cash receipts and payments in terms of our functional currency, the U.S. dollar. We use foreign currency forward contracts to protect the value or fix the amount of certain investments or cash flows in terms of the U.S. dollar.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we paid net cash settlements of $83,000 and $49.3 million, respectively, on our foreign currency forward contracts. Those amounts are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on our consolidated balance sheets.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded total interest and related expenses of $82.4 million, which included interest expense of $2,000 related to our cash flow hedges. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded total interest and related expenses of $160.7 million, which included interest expense of $4,000.
Credit-Risk Related Contingent Features
We have entered into agreements with certain of our derivative counterparties that contain provisions where if we were to default on any of our indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, we may also be declared in default on our derivative obligations. In addition, certain of our agreements with our derivative counterparties require that we post collateral to secure net liability positions. As of June 30, 2021, we were in a net asset position with one of our derivative counterparties and in a net liability position with our other derivative counterparty and posted collateral of $2.7 million under these derivative contracts. As of December 31, 2020, we were in a net liability position with each such derivative counterparty and posted collateral of $51.1 million under these derivative contracts.
