Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our future income, cash flows and fair value relevant to our financial instruments depends upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Based upon the nature of our operations, the principal market risk to which we are exposed is the risk related to interest rate fluctuations. As of December 31, 2020, we had total indebtedness of approximately $175.0 million, which is floating rate debt with a variable interest rate. Further, during 2020, we had average daily outstanding borrowings on our Revolver of $6.6 million.
On September 28, 2020 and effective through the maturity date of December 23, 2024, the Company entered into an interest rate derivative in order to hedge its market interest risk associated with the Term Loan. The interest rate derivative converts the variable rate debt on the Term Loan to a fixed interest rate of 0.21%, plus a margin of 1.15% as of December 31, 2020. Additionally, we occasionally fund acquisitions through the use of our Revolver which bears an interest rate determined by either (i) LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 1.20% to 1.80%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio, or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility), plus a margin ranging from 0.20% to 0.80%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio. Many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors that are beyond our control contribute to our interest rate risk. Based on the results of our sensitivity analysis and daily outstanding borrowings on the Revolver during 2020, which assumes a 1% adverse change in the interest rate as of December 31, 2020, the estimated market risk exposure for the Revolver was less than $0.1 million.
In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority, or FCA (the authority that regulates LIBOR), announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee, or ARRC, has identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, as the preferred alternative to LIBOR for use in derivatives and other financial contracts that are currently indexed to LIBOR. We are not able to predict when LIBOR will cease to be available or when there will be sufficient liquidity in the SOFR markets. Any changes adopted by the FCA or other governing bodies in the method used for determining LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR. If that were to occur, our interest payments could change. In addition, uncertainty about the extent and manner of future changes may result in interest rates and/or payments that are higher or lower than if LIBOR were to remain available in its current form.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s Term Loan and Revolver, which mature on December 23, 2024 and December 23, 2023, respectively, are indexed to LIBOR. The Company continues to monitor and evaluate the related risks, including future negotiations with lenders and other counterparties. While we expect LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until the end of 2021, it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that point. This could result, for example, if sufficient banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator. In that case, the transition to an alternative reference rate could be accelerated.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have had or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital resources or capital expenditures.
