ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Interest Rate Risk We have exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, which are sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control. The following is a summary of our exposure to a change in interest rates: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, 2020 ​ December 31, 2019 ​ ​ ​ Weighted ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Average ​ ​ Annual ​ ​ ​ ​ Average ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Effective ​ ​ Effect of 1% ​ ​ ​ ​ Effective ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Interest ​ ​ Change in ​ ​ ​ ​ Interest ​ ​ Balance ​ Rate ​ Base Rates ​ Balance ​ Rate ​ ​ (Dollars in thousands) Debt (contractual balances): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Mortgages payable: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Variable rate (1) ​ $ 678,346 ​ 2.18% ​ ​ $ 6,878 ​ $ 2,200 3.36% ​ Fixed rate (2) ​ 925,523 ​ 4.32% ​ ​ — ​ 1,125,648 4.29% ​ ​ ​ $ 1,603,869 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 6,878 ​ $ 1,127,848 ​ ​ ​ Credit facility: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Revolving credit facility (3) ​ $ — ​ 1.19% ​ ​ $ — ​ $ 200,000 2.86% ​ Tranche A-1 Term Loan (4) ​ 200,000 ​ 2.59% ​ ​ — ​ 100,000 3.32% ​ Tranche A-2 Term Loan (5) ​ 200,000 ​ 2.49% ​ ​ — ​ 200,000 3.74% ​ ​ ​ $ 400,000 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ $ — ​ $ 500,000 ​ ​ ​ Pro rata share of debt of unconsolidated real estate ventures (contractual balances): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Variable rate (1) ​ $ 319,057 ​ 2.47% ​ ​ $ 3,235 ​ $ 228,226 4.30% ​ Fixed rate (2) ​ 79,989 ​ 4.36% ​ ​ — ​ 101,993 4.24% ​ ​ ​ $ 399,046 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 3,235 ​ $ 330,219 ​ ​ ​ (1) Includes a variable rate mortgage payable with an interest rate cap agreement as of December 31, 2020. (2) Includes variable rate mortgages payable with interest rates fixed by interest rate swap agreements. (3) The interest rate for the revolving credit facility excludes a 0.15% facility fee. (4) As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, $200.0 million and $100.0 million of the outstanding balance was fixed by interest rate swap agreements. As of December 31, 2020, the interest rate swaps mature concurrently with the term loan and provide a weighted average interest rate of 1.39%. (5) As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, $200.0 million and $137.6 million of the outstanding balance was fixed by interest rate swap agreements. As of December 31, 2020, the interest rate swaps mature concurrently with the term loan and provide a weighted average interest rate of 1.34%. The fair value of our mortgages payable is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows of these instruments using current risk-adjusted rates available to borrowers with similar credit profiles based on market sources. The fair value of our revolving credit facility and unsecured term loans is calculated based on the net present value of payments over the term of the facilities using estimated market rates for similar notes and remaining terms. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the estimated fair value of our consolidated debt was $2.0 billion and $1.7 billion. These estimates of fair value, which are made at the end of the reporting period, may be different from the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon the disposition of our financial instruments. 67 Table of Contents Hedging Activities To manage, or hedge, our exposure to interest rate risk, we follow established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of a variety of derivative financial instruments. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Derivative Financial Instruments Designated as Cash Flow Hedges Certain derivative financial instruments, consisting of interest rate swap and cap agreements, are designated as cash flow hedges, and are carried at their estimated fair value on a recurring basis. We assess the effectiveness of our cash flow hedges both at inception and on an ongoing basis. If the hedges are deemed to be effective, the fair value is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently reclassified into "Interest expense" in the period that the hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings. Our cash flow hedges become less than perfectly effective if the critical terms of the hedging instrument and the forecasted transactions do not perfectly match such as notional amounts, settlement dates, reset dates, calculation period and interest rates. In addition, we evaluate the default risk of the counterparty by monitoring the creditworthiness of the counterparty. While management believes its judgments are reasonable, a change in a derivative's effectiveness as a hedge could materially affect expenses, net income and equity. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had interest rate swap and cap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $862.7 million and $935.1 million, which were designated as cash flow hedges. The fair value of our interest rate swaps and caps designated as cash flow hedges consisted of liabilities totaling $44.2 million and $17.4 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, included in "Other liabilities, net" in our balance sheets. Derivative Financial Instruments Not Designated as Hedges Certain derivative financial instruments, consisting of interest rate swap and cap agreements, are considered economic hedges, but not designated as accounting hedges, and are carried at their estimated fair value on a recurring basis. Realized and unrealized gains are recorded in "Interest expense" in our statements of operations in the period in which the change occurs. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had various interest rate swap and cap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $867.7 million and $307.7 million, which were not designated as cash flow hedges. The fair value of our interest rate swaps and caps not designated as hedges was not material as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. ​ ​ 68 Table of Contents
