Interest rate swaps
Derivatives are classified and measured at fair value in the statement of financial position. Fair value measurement is based on Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as defined in IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement. Such measurement is based on techniques for which all inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable. Future cash flows are estimated based on forward interest rates (from observable yield curves at the end of the reporting period) and contract interest rates, discounted at a rate that reflects the credit risk of various counterparties.

As of September 30, 2026, the Company had eight amortizing interest rate swaps totaling $185.0 million with maturity in the fourth quarter of 2028. The average fixed interest rate is 3.32%. As of September 30, 2026, the fair value of the derivative financial assets related to the swaps amounted to $4.4 million.
