In the normal course of business, we are exposed to financial market risks, including interest rate risk on our interest bearing liabilities. We attempt to limit these risks by following established risk management policies, procedures and strategies, including the use of financial instruments such as derivatives. We do not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

For derivatives that have been designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” and subsequently reclassified into “Interest expense, net” in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of June 30, 2019, all of our outstanding derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges. We recognize all derivatives at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

During the next 12 months, we estimate that less than $0.1 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense in connection with derivatives. The recognition of these amounts, however, could be accelerated in the event that we repay amounts outstanding on the debt instruments and do not replace them with new borrowings.

As of June 30, 2019, we had interest rate swap agreements outstanding with a weighted average base interest rate of 1.85% on a notional amount of $796.5 million, maturing on various dates through May 2023, and forward starting interest rate swap agreements with a weighted average interest rate of 2.75% on a notional amount of $100.0 million, with an effective date in June 2020, and a maturity date in May 2023. We entered into these interest rate swap agreements in order to hedge the interest payments associated with our issuances of variable interest rate long term debt. The interest rate swap agreements are net settled monthly.

The following table summarizes the terms and estimated fair values of our interest rate swap derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 based on the year they mature. The notional values provide an indication of the extent of our involvement in these instruments, but do not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks. In the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, the carrying amount of derivative assets is reflected in “Deferred costs and other assets, net” and the carrying amount of derivative liabilities is reflected in “Accrued expenses and other liabilities.”

We have agreements with some of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision pursuant to which, if our entity that originated such derivative instruments defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations. As of June 30, 2019, we were not in default on any of our derivative obligations.

We have an agreement with a derivative counterparty that incorporates the loan covenant provisions of our loan agreement with a lender affiliated with the derivative counterparty. Failure to comply with the loan covenant provisions would result in our being in default on any derivative instrument obligations covered by the agreement.

As of June 30, 2019, the fair value of derivatives in a liability position, which excludes accrued interest but includes any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements, was $13.6 million. If we had breached any of the default provisions in these agreements as of June 30, 2019, we might have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value (including accrued interest) of $14.0 million. We had not breached any of these provisions as of June 30, 2019.
