Interest Rate Derivatives [Abstract]

18. Derivative Instruments

The Partnership’s derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments and are recorded at fair value. Changes in fair value are included in current period earnings as “Interest expense” in the Partnership's consolidated statements of operations. The value of the Partnership’s interest rate swaps are subject to mark-to-market collateral posting provisions in conjunction with the Partnership’s ISDA master agreement with Mizuho (Note 16). See Note 23 for a description of the methodology and significant assumptions for determining the fair value of the derivatives. The derivative instruments are presented within “Other assets” or “Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities”, as appropriate, in the Partnership's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

The Partnership has entered into multiple interest rate swap agreements to mitigate interest rate risk associated with variable rate TOB trust financings (Note 16). No fees were paid to Mizuho upon closing of the interest rate swaps. The following table summarizes the Partnership's interest rate swap agreements as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

The total return swap has the Partnership’s Secured Notes with Mizuho as the specified reference security (Note 16), with the total return swap notional amount equal to the outstanding principal on the Secured Notes. The rate received on the total return swap is equal to the interest rate on the Secured Notes such that they offset one another, resulting in a net interest cost equal to the rate paid under the total return swap. Under the total return swap, the Partnership is liable for any decline in the value of the Secured Notes under the ISDA master agreement with Mizuho, when netted with the value of the Partnership's other positions with Mizuho.

The Partnership was required to initially fund cash collateral with Mizuho for the total return swap. The total return swap with a notional amount of $102.6 million initially required the Partnership to maintain cash collateral equal to 35% of the notional amount. In February 2023, the cash collateral requirement was reduced to 30% of the notional amount. In December 2022, the Partnership amended certain terms associated with the remaining total return swap, including an update in the variable rate index from 3-month LIBOR to SOFR. There were no fees associated with the amendments.
