Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

8. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of an asset is defined as the exit price, which is the amount that would either be received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets, such as money market funds, equity securities, and U.S. Treasury securities; Level 2, for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, such as certain derivative instruments including interest rate caps and interest rate swaps; and Level 3, for financial instruments or other assets/liabilities that do not fall into Level 1 or Level 2 and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The methods and assumptions described below were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument. For significant Level 3 items, the Company has also provided the unobservable inputs.

Money Market Funds — The Company has money market funds, which at times have zero balances and are included in Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets, and are comprised of government securities and/or U.S. Treasury bills. These funds were classified as Level 1 as the Company used quoted prices from active markets to determine their fair values.

Marketable Equity Securities — The Company has an investment in marketable equity securities of Albertsons, which has a readily determinable market value (traded on an exchange) and is being accounted for as a Level 1 investment (Note 4).

Derivative Assets — The Company has derivative assets, which are included in Other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets, and are comprised of interest rate swaps and caps. The derivative instruments were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market. See “Derivative Financial Instruments,” below.

Derivative Liabilities — The Company has derivative liabilities, which are included in Accounts payable and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, and are comprised of interest rate swaps. These derivative instruments were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 because they are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market. See “Derivative Financial Instruments,” below.

The Company did not have any transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 measurements during the three months ended March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

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’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Marketable Equity Securities

In January 2023, following the expiration of the lock-up period and distribution of approximately 2.5 million shares by Mervyns II to its partners, the Company directly owns 1.6 million shares of Albertsons at March 31, 2023. The shares are included in marketable securities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with the net unrealized gains or losses reported in net income. Through Mervyns II, the Company recognized mark-to-market loss on its marketable equity securities of $2.5 million and mark-to-market gain on its marketable equity securities of $12.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, which is included in Realized and unrealized holding gains on investments and other on the Company's consolidated statements of income.

The Company recognized dividend income from marketable securities of $28.5 million and $0.5 million on a consolidated basis, of which the Company's share was $11.4 million and $0.1 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which is included in Realized and unrealized holding gains on investments and other on the Company's consolidated statements of income.

All of the Company’s derivative instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges and hedge the future cash outflows on variable-rate debt (Note 7). It is estimated that approximately $25.0 million included in Accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense within the next twelve months. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no derivatives were designated as fair value hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations. Additionally, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated hedges.

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

 

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and, from time to time, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the values of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s investments and borrowings.

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the swaps if the derivative position has a positive balance. The Company believes it mitigates its credit risk by entering into swaps with major financial institutions. The Company continually monitors and actively manages interest costs on its variable-rate debt portfolio and may enter into additional interest rate swap positions or other derivative interest rate instruments based on market conditions.

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with each of its swap counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the Company defaults on certain of its unsecured indebtedness, the Company could also be declared in default on its swaps, resulting in an acceleration of payment under the swaps.

(a)
The Company determined the estimated fair value of these financial instruments using a discounted cash flow model with rates that take into account the credit of the borrower or tenant, where applicable, and interest rate risk. The Company also considered the value of the underlying collateral, taking into account the quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the borrower, the time until maturity and the current market interest rate environment. Amounts exclude discounts and loan costs. The estimated market rates are between 5.01% to 13.66% for the Company's notes receivable and City Point Loan, and 6.27% to 10.82% for the Company's mortgage and other notes payable, depending on the attributes of the specific loans.
(b)
Represents the Operating Partnership’s cost-method investment in Fifth Wall (Note 4).
(c)
The Company determined the estimated fair value of the unsecured notes payable and unsecured line of credit using quoted market prices in an open market with limited trading volume where available. In cases where there was no trading volume, the Company determined the estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow model using a rate that reflects the average yield of similar market participants.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rents receivable, accounts payable and certain financial instruments included in other assets and other liabilities had fair values that approximated their carrying values due to their short maturity profiles at March 31, 2023.
