Debt | Debt On February 18, 2021, the Company amended its credit agreements and related documents governing its unsecured revolving credit facilities, term loan agreements and senior notes, which: • extended the waiver period for financial covenants through the end of the first quarter of 2022 except for the minimum fixed charge coverage and the minimum unsecured interest coverage ratio which are extended through December 31, 2021. The covenants are substantially less restrictive through a phase-in period; • extended the majority of the remaining balance of the Company's Sixth Term Loan 2021 tranche, from November 2021 to November 2022; • increased the spread on the unsecured revolving credit facility to LIBOR plus 2.4% and unsecured term loans to LIBOR plus 2.35%; • increased the fixed rate on the Senior Unsecured Notes by 0.45% during the waiver period; and • extended other terms through the waiver period. The Company's debt consisted of the following as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands): Balance Outstanding as of Interest Rate Maturity Date March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Revolving credit facilities Senior unsecured credit facility Floating (1) January 2022 $ — $ 40,000 PHL unsecured credit facility Floating (2) January 2022 — — Total revolving credit facilities $ — $ 40,000 Unsecured term loans First Term Loan Floating (3) January 2023 300,000 300,000 Second Term Loan Floating (3) April 2022 45,000 65,000 Fourth Term Loan Floating (3) October 2024 110,000 110,000 Sixth Term Loan Tranche 2021 Floating (3) November 2021 (4) 6,720 40,966 Tranche 2021 Extended Floating (3) November 2022 140,280 173,034 Tranche 2022 Floating (3) November 2022 196,000 286,000 Tranche 2023 Floating (3) November 2023 400,000 400,000 Tranche 2024 Floating (3) January 2024 400,000 400,000 Total Sixth Term Loan 1,143,000 1,300,000 Total term loans at stated value 1,598,000 1,775,000 Deferred financing costs, net (8,248) (8,455) Total term loans $ 1,589,752 $ 1,766,545 Convertible senior notes Convertible senior notes 1.75% December 2026 750,000 500,000 Debt premium (discount), net 13,360 (113,099) Deferred financing costs, net (18,645) (12,568) Total convertible senior notes $ 744,715 $ 374,333 Senior unsecured notes Series A Notes 5.15% (5) December 2023 60,000 60,000 Series B Notes 5.38% (6) December 2025 40,000 40,000 Total senior unsecured notes at stated value 100,000 100,000 Deferred financing costs, net (487) (407) Total senior unsecured notes $ 99,513 $ 99,593 Total debt $ 2,433,980 $ 2,280,471 ________________________ (1) Borrowings bear interest at floating rates equal to, at the Company's option, either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin or (ii) an Adjusted Base Rate (as defined in the applicable credit agreement) plus an applicable margin. (2) Borrowings bear interest at floating rates equal to, at the Company's option, either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin or (ii) an Eurocurrency Rate (as defined in the applicable credit agreement) plus an applicable margin. (3) Borrowings under the term loan facilities bear interest at floating rates equal to, at the Company's option, either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin or (ii) a Base Rate plus an applicable margin. As of March 31, 2021, $1.4 billion of the borrowings under the term loan facilities bore an effective weighted-average fixed interest rate of 4.13%, after taking into account interest rate swap agreements, and $168.0 million bore an effective weighted-average floating interest rate of 2.62%. As of December 31, 2020, $1.4 billion of the borrowings under the term loan facilities bore a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 4.19%, after taking into account interest rate swap agreements, and $345.0 million bore a weighted-average floating interest rate of 2.46%. (4 ) In February 2021, the majority of the remaining balance was extended to November 2022. (5) In February 2021, the interest rate increased from 4.70% to 5.15%. The increased interest rate is effective through the end of the waiver period. (6) In February 2021, the interest rate increased from 4.93% to 5.38%. The increased interest rate is effective through the end of the waiver period. Unsecured Revolving Credit Facilities The Company has a $650.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility maturing in January 2022, with options to extend the maturity date to January 2023, pursuant to certain terms and conditions and payment of an extension fee. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had no outstanding borrowings, $6.8 million of outstanding letters of credit and borrowing capacity of $643.2 million remaining on its senior unsecured credit facility. Interest is paid on the periodic advances under the senior unsecured revolving credit facility at varying rates, based upon either LIBOR or the alternate base rate, plus an additional margin amount, or spread. The Company has the ability to further increase the aggregate borrowing capacity under the credit agreement up to $1.3 billion, subject to lender approval. Borrowings on the revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.45% to 2.25%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. As a result of the amendments to the credit agreements and related documentation described above, the spread on the borrowings is fixed at 2.40% during the waiver period. Additionally, the Company is required to pay an unused commitment fee at an annual rate of 0.20% or 0.30% of the unused portion of the revolving credit facility, depending on the amount of borrowings outstanding. The credit agreement contains certain financial covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, and a maximum percentage of secured debt to total asset value. The Company also has a $25.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the "PHL Credit Facility") to be used for PHL's working capital and general corporate purposes. This credit facility has substantially similar terms as the Company's senior unsecured revolving credit facility and matures in January 2022. Borrowings on the PHL Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.45% to 2.25%, depending on the Company's leverage ratio. As a result of the amendments described above, the spread of the borrowings is fixed at 2.40% during the waiver period. The PHL Credit Facility is subject to debt covenants substantially similar to the covenants under the Company's credit agreement that governs the Company's senior unsecured revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had no borrowings under the PHL Credit Facility and had $25.0 million borrowing capacity remaining available under the PHL Credit Facility. Under the terms of the credit agreement for the unsecured revolving credit facility, one or more standby letters of credit, up to a maximum aggregate outstanding balance of $30.0 million, may be issued on behalf of the Company by the lenders under the unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company will incur a fee that shall be agreed upon with the issuing bank. Any outstanding standby letters of credit reduce the available borrowings on the senior unsecured revolving credit facility by a corresponding amount. Standby letters of credit of $6.8 million were outstanding as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants of the credit agreements that govern the unsecured revolving credit facilities. Unsecured Term Loan Facilities The Company has senior unsecured term loans with different maturities. Each unsecured term loan bears interest at a variable rate of a benchmark interest rate plus an applicable margin, depending on the Company's leverage ratio. Each of the term loan facilities is subject to debt covenants substantially similar to the covenants under the credit agreement that governs the revolving credit facility. Upon completion of the convertible notes offering in February 2021, the Company repaid $177.0 million of the Company's second and sixth term loans. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants of its term loan facilities. The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix the LIBOR rate on a portion of these unsecured term loan facilities. See Derivative and Hedging Activities below. Convertible Senior Notes In December 2020, the Company issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due December 2026 (the "Convertible Notes"). The net proceeds from this offering of the Convertible Notes were approximately $487.3 million after deducting the underwriting fees and other expenses paid by the Company. In February 2021, the Company issued an additional $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes. These additional Convertible Notes were sold at a 5.5% premium to par and generated net proceeds of approximately $257.2 million after deducting the underwriting fees and other expenses paid by the Company of $6.5 million, which was offset by a premium received in the amount of $13.8 million. The Convertible Notes are governed by an indenture (the “Base Indenture”) between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15th and December 15th of each year, beginning on June 15, 2021. The Convertible Notes will mature on December 15, 2026. The Company recorded coupon interest expense of $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Company separated the Convertible Notes issued in December 2020 into liability and equity components. The initial carrying amount of the liability component was $386.1 million and was calculated using a discount rate of 6.25%. The discount rate was based on the terms of debt instruments that were similar to the Convertible Notes. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the principal amount of such Convertible Notes, or $113.9 million. The amount recorded in equity was not subject to remeasurement or amortization. The $113.9 million also represented the initial discount recorded on the Convertible Notes. The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021. As a result, the Convertible Notes are now recorded as a single liability with no portion recorded in equity. The Company also ceased recording non-cash interest expense associated with amortization of the debt discount. Prior to June 15, 2026, the Convertible Notes will be convertible only upon certain circumstances. On and after June 15, 2026, holders may convert any of their Convertible Notes into the Company’s common shares of beneficial interest (“common shares”) at the applicable conversion rate at any time at their election two days prior to the maturity date. The initial conversion rate is 39.2549 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $25.47 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the if-converted value of the Convertible Notes did not exceed the principal amount. The Company may redeem for cash all or a portion of the Convertible Notes, at its option, on or after December 20, 2023 upon certain circumstances. The redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If certain make-whole fundamental changes occur, the conversion rate for the Convertible Notes may be increased. In connection with the Convertible Notes issuances, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with certain of the underwriters of the offerings of the Convertible Notes or their respective affiliates and other financial institutions (the “Capped Call Counterparties”). The Capped Call Transactions initially cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Convertible Notes, the number of common shares underlying the Convertible Notes. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to holders of common shares upon conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or offset the potential cash payments that the Company could be required to make in excess of the principal amount of any converted Convertible Notes upon conversion thereof, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The upper strike price of the Capped Call Transactions is $33.0225 per share. The cost of the Capped Call Transactions entered into in December 2020 and February 2021 was $38.3 million and $21.0 million, respectively, and was recorded within additional paid-in capital. Senior Unsecured Notes The Company has $60.0 million of senior unsecured notes outstanding bearing a fixed interest rate of 4.70% per annum and maturing in December 2023 (the "Series A Notes") and $40.0 million of senior unsecured notes outstanding bearing a fixed interest rate of 4.93% per annum and maturing in December 2025 (the "Series B Notes"). As a result of the amendments described above, the interest rates of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes are fixed at 5.15% and 5.38%, respectively, for the duration of the waiver period. The debt covenants of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes are substantially similar to those of the Company's senior unsecured revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all such debt covenants. Interest Expense The components of the Company's interest expense consisted of the following (in thousands): For the three months ended March 31, 2021 2020 Unsecured revolving credit facilities $ 561 $ 2,305 Unsecured term loan facilities 15,909 17,152 Convertible senior notes 2,819 — Senior unsecured notes 1,252 1,198 Amortization of deferred financing fees 2,659 1,190 Other 2,131 1,746 Total interest expense $ 25,331 $ 23,591 The Company estimates the fair value of its fixed rate debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates, taking into consideration general market conditions and maturity of the debt with similar credit terms Derivative and Hedging Activities The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against interest rate fluctuations. All of the Company's interest rate swaps are cash flow hedges. All unrealized gains and losses on these hedging instruments are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The Company's interest rate swaps at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 consisted of the following (dollars in thousands): Notional Value as of Hedge Type Interest Rate Maturity March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Swap - cash flow 1.74% January 2021 — 75,000 Swap - cash flow 1.75% January 2021 — 50,000 Swap - cash flow 1.53% January 2021 — 37,500 Swap - cash flow 1.53% January 2021 — 37,500 Swap - cash flow 1.46% January 2021 — 100,000 Swap - cash flow 1.47% January 2021 — 47,500 Swap - cash flow 1.47% January 2021 — 47,500 Swap - cash flow 1.47% January 2021 — 47,500 Swap - cash flow 1.47% January 2021 — 47,500 Swap - cash flow 2.60% October 2021 55,000 55,000 Swap - cash flow 2.60% October 2021 55,000 55,000 Swap - cash flow 1.78% January 2022 100,000 100,000 Swap - cash flow 1.78% January 2022 50,000 50,000 Swap - cash flow 1.79% January 2022 30,000 30,000 Swap - cash flow 1.68% April 2022 25,000 25,000 Swap - cash flow 1.68% April 2022 25,000 25,000 Swap - cash flow 1.64% April 2022 25,000 25,000 Swap - cash flow 1.64% April 2022 25,000 25,000 Swap - cash flow 0.17% January 2023 100,000 — Swap - cash flow 0.17% January 2023 50,000 — Swap - cash flow 0.17% January 2023 25,000 — Swap - cash flow 0.17% January 2023 25,000 — Swap - cash flow 1.99% November 2023 85,000 85,000 Swap - cash flow 1.99% November 2023 85,000 85,000 Swap - cash flow 1.99% November 2023 50,000 50,000 Swap - cash flow 1.99% November 2023 30,000 30,000 Swap - cash flow 2.60% January 2024 75,000 75,000 Swap - cash flow 2.60% January 2024 50,000 50,000 Swap - cash flow 2.60% January 2024 25,000 25,000 Swap - cash flow 2.60% January 2024 75,000 75,000 Swap - cash flow 2.60% January 2024 75,000 75,000 Swap - cash flow 1.43% February 2026 150,000 — Swap - cash flow 1.44% February 2026 50,000 — Swap - cash flow 1.44% February 2026 50,000 — Swap - cash flow 1.44% February 2026 40,000 — Total $ 1,430,000 $ 1,430,000 During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company had interest rates swaps for an aggregate notional amount of $490.0 million that became effective as other interest rate swaps matured. As of March 31, 2021, there are no additional interest rate swaps outstanding that will become effective in the future. The Company records all derivative instruments at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the standard market methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts/payments and the discounted expected variable cash payments/receipts. Variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts and payments on the swaps are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves (Overnight Index Swap curves) and volatilities (Level 2 inputs). Derivatives expose the Company to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties under the terms of the interest rate hedge agreements. The Company incorporates these counterparty credit risks in its fair value measurements. The Company believes it minimizes the credit risk by transacting with major creditworthy financial institutions. As of March 31, 2021, the Company's derivative instruments were in both asset and liability positions, with aggregate asset and liability fair values of $0.1 million and $42.6 million, which are included in prepaid expenses and other assets and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects approximately $22.7 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense within the next 12 months. |
