Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Our financial results are subject to market risk from potential changes in interest rates. To manage this exposure, we utilize derivative financial instruments.
We account for derivative financial instruments under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, (“ASC 815”), and record them at fair value as assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The accounting for changes in their fair value depends on their intended use. Gains and losses on derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction occurs. Similarly, gains and losses on derivatives designated and qualifying as net investment hedges are recorded in AOCI but are reclassified into earnings only upon partial or complete liquidation of the investment. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedges or those that are no longer effective as hedges are recognized immediately in earnings.
INTEREST RATE PRODUCTS
We are exposed to cash flow interest rate risk on our variable-rate debt. To hedge this exposure, we use variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps. For these swaps, we report the gains or losses from changes in their fair value in AOCI and reclassify them to interest expense in the period the hedged interest payments affect earnings.
If we de-designate or terminate a cash flow hedge while the hedged item still exists, the unrealized gain or loss on the cash flow hedge at the time of de-designation remains in AOCI. This amount is then amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the hedged item. However, if the hedged item becomes ineffective, the related gain or loss is immediately reclassified from AOCI to earnings.

OFFSETTING DERIVATIVES
We present derivative financial instruments at their gross fair values in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These instruments are not subject to master netting arrangements that would permit the right of offset.
