Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are subject to market risks from changes in interest rates charged on our credit facilities and other variable-rate indebtedness. The impact on earnings and the value of our long-term debt are subject to change as a result of movements in market rates and prices. As of December 31, 2022, 59.6%, or $2.3 billion, of our long-term debt had a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.00%. As of December 31, 2022, we had $1.6 billion of long-term variable rate debt, at a weighted average interest rate of 6.68%.
In the normal course of business, we enter into certain interest rate cap and swap agreements with major financial institutions to manage our risk above certain interest rates on variable rate debt. As of December 31, 2022, 78%, of our $1.6 billion of outstanding long-term variable rate debt is indexed to LIBOR plus a weighted average margin of 229 basis points and 22% of our outstanding long-term variable rate debt is indexed to SOFR plus a weighted average margin of 237 basis points. Accordingly, our annual interest expense related to long-term variable rate debt is directly affected by movements in LIBOR or SOFR. As of December 31, 2022, $1.4 billion, or 92%, of our long-term variable rate debt is subject to interest rate cap or swap agreements and $128.7 million of our variable rate debt is not subject to any interest rate cap or swap agreements. For our LIBOR and SOFR interest rate cap and swap agreements as of December 31, 2022, the weighted average fixed interest rate is 4.14%, and the weighted average remaining term is 1.2 years. Many of our long-term variable rate debt instruments include provisions that obligate us to obtain additional interest rate cap agreements upon the maturity of the existing interest rate cap agreements. The costs of obtaining additional interest rate cap agreements may offset the benefits of our existing interest rate cap agreements.
