NOTE 15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to market risks, including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We may enter into derivative financial instruments to offset these underlying market risks. See Note 2 for our derivative financial instruments policy.

 

The following table presents the fair value of our derivative financial instruments recognized within Other Assets and Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31 (in thousands):

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

The change in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income during the periods presented was due to the translation into U.S. dollars from the consolidation of the financial statements of our consolidated subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. The change in fair value of the effective portion of our derivative financial instruments that have been designated as net investment hedges and cash flow hedges and the translation of the hedged portion of our debt, as discussed above, are also included in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).

(1)

We estimate an additional expense of $13.9 million will be reclassified to Interest Expense over the next 12 months from December 31, 2022, due to the amortization of previously settled derivatives designated as cash flow hedges.                                    

(2)

Included in the year ended December 31, 2020, was $16.8 million in losses associated with the termination of four U.S. dollar treasury lock contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $750.0 million that fixed the interest rate on the forecasted issuance of U.S. dollar senior notes, which were then issued in February 2020.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

We have estimated the fair value of our financial instruments using available market information and valuation methodologies we believe to be appropriate for these purposes. Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates and, accordingly, they are not necessarily indicative of amounts that we would realize on disposition. See Note 2 for more information on our fair value measurements policy.

 

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

 

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, other than the derivatives discussed previously, we had no significant financial assets or financial liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the Consolidated Financial Statements. All of our derivatives held at December 31, 2022 and 2021 were classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Fair Value Measurements on Nonrecurring Basis

 

Acquired properties and assets we expect to sell or contribute are significant nonfinancial assets that met the criteria to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, as detailed in our accounting policy in Note 2. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, we estimated the fair value of our properties using Level 2 or Level 3 inputs from the fair value hierarchy. See more information on our acquired properties in Notes 3 and 4 and assets held for sale or contribution in Note 6.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses were representative of their fair values.

 

The differences in the fair value of our debt from the carrying value in the table below were the result of differences in interest rates or borrowing spreads that were available to us at December 31, 2022 and 2021, as compared with those in effect when the debt was issued or assumed, including reduced borrowing spreads due to our improved credit ratings. The fair value of the senior notes decreased in 2022 due to the increase in bond yields in the market as compared to the weighted average interest rates on our senior notes. The senior notes and many of the issuances of secured mortgage debt contain prepayment penalties or yield maintenance provisions that could make the cost of refinancing the debt at lower rates exceed the benefit that would be derived from doing so. We evaluate this on an on-going basis and have taken the opportunity to refinance some of our debt at lower rates and longer maturities as discussed in Note 8.
