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 and designation. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. For derivatives not designated as hedges, changes in fair value are recognized immediately in earnings.
INTEREST RATE PRODUCTS
We are exposed to cash flow interest rate risk on our variable-rate debt. To mitigate this exposure, we utilize variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges. The gains or losses on these swaps are recorded in AOCI and subsequently reclassified to interest expense in the same period during which the hedged forecasted interest payments affect earnings.
Upon de-designation of a hedge, any remaining AOCI balance is reclassified into earnings over the original term of the forecasted transaction, provided the transaction remains probable of occurring. If it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period, the gain or loss in AOCI is reclassified into earnings immediately.

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.
