Fair Value of Financial Instruments

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2023

The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. This alternative approach also reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The guidance defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability and those inputs are significant.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.

The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. However, the Company expects that changes in classifications between levels will be rare.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with those derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of the Company’s derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The valuation of derivative instruments is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the fair values to account for the Company’s potential nonperformance risk and the performance risk of the counterparties.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities (including derivatives that are presented net) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those instruments fall.


(In thousands)	Quoted Prices in Active Markets Level 1		Significant Other Observable Inputs Level 2		Significant Unobservable Inputs Level 3		Total
June 30, 2023

Foreign currency forwards, net (GBP & EUR)	$	—	$	1,306	$	—	$	1,306
Interest rate swaps, net (USD,GBP & EUR)	$	—	$	24,545	$	—	$	24,545

December 31, 2022

Foreign currency forwards, net (GBP & EUR)	$	—	$	6,174	$	—	$	6,174
Interest rate swaps, net (USD,GBP & EUR)	$	—	$	30,777	$	—	$	30,777

A review of the fair value hierarchy classification is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the type of inputs may result in a reclassification for certain assets. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022.

Financial Instruments not Measured at Fair Value

The carrying value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, due to/from related parties, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and dividends payable approximates their fair value due to their short-term nature.

•The gross carrying value of the Company’s mortgage notes payable as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $1.0 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s gross mortgage notes payable as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, and is based on estimates of market interest rates. This approach relies on unobservable inputs and therefore is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

•As of June 30, 2023 the advances to the Company under the Revolving Credit Facility had a carrying value of $1.0 billion and a fair value of $1.0 billion. As of December 31, 2022 the advances to the Company under the Revolving Credit Facility had a carrying value of $670.0 million and a fair value of $672.6 million.

•As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s Senior Notes had a gross carrying value of $500.0 million and a fair value of $0.4 million. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s Senior Notes had a gross carrying value of $500.0 million and a fair value of $417.9 million.
