Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk from its indebtedness primarily from changes in market interest rates. The Company monitors interest rate risk as an integral part of its overall risk management. The Company manages its exposure

to interest rate risk by utilizing fixed rate indebtedness or by hedging the majority of its floating rate indebtedness with interest rate swaps or caps, as appropriate. 

As of June 30, 2025, the Company's indebtedness with an aggregate principal balance of $1.8 billion had an estimated aggregate fair value of $1.8 billion.

Changes in interest rates impact the fair value of the Company's fixed rate debt instruments, computed using current market yields. Approximately $1.3 billion of the Company’s long-term debt as of June 30, 2025 bears interest at fixed rates with a weighted average coupon of 4.70% and therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in market interest rates. If market rates of interest increased or decreased by 100 basis points, the fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt as of June 30, 2025 would be approximately $33.2 million lower or higher, respectively. 

The effective interest rates on the Company’s $441.5 million variable rate debt hedged by interest-rate caps, as of June 30, 2025 ranged from SOFR plus 141 basis points to SOFR plus 275 basis points. Additionally, the effective interest rate on the Company’s $127.0 million variable rate debt, which is not hedged by interest-rate caps as of June 30, 2025, was SOFR plus 273 basis points.  Assuming interest-rate caps are not in effect as of June 30, 2025, if market rates of interest on the Company’s variable rate debt increased or decreased by 100 basis points, then the increase or decrease in interest costs on the Company’s variable rate debt would be approximately $5.7 million annually.
