Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, we adopted ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform, for six interest rate swap contracts with the transition from LIBOR to SOFR as the reference rate. In March 2023, we dedesignated one interest rate swap contract for a previous loan facility and entered into a new interest rate swap contract to hedge $14,084 of the extended loan facility. The new interest rate swap was designated as a cash flow hedge. In June 2023, we prepaid one loan facility and terminated the related swap prior to its maturity date. In August 2023, we acquired one interest rate swap through an energy asset project acquisition. This interest rate swap was not designated as an effective hedge and we recorded the change in the valuation in other expenses, net in our consolidated statements of income. See Note 7 for additional information about this energy asset project acquisition.
