Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to two significant components of interest rate risk:
Under the Line, we have a variable interest rate that, as of June 30, 2024, was based upon an annual rate of SOFR plus a 0.10% market adjustment ("Adjusted SOFR") plus an applicable margin of 0.715%. SOFR rates charged on our Line change monthly, and the applicable margin on the Line is dependent upon the Company's maintenance of specific credit ratings and leverage parameters.
We are also exposed to the impact of interest rate changes on future earnings and cash flows. To mitigate that risk, we generally borrow with fixed rate debt and we may use derivative instruments to fix the interest rate on our variable rate debt.
The table below presents the principal cash flows, weighted average interest rates of remaining debt, and the fair value of total debt as of June 30, 2024. For variable rate mortgages and unsecured credit facilities for which we have interest rate swaps in place to fix the interest rate, they are included in the Fixed rate debt section below at their all-in fixed rate. The table is presented by year of expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes. Although the average interest rate for variable
rate debt is included in the table, those rates represent rates that existed as of June 30, 2024, and are subject to change. In addition, we continually assess the market risk for floating rate debt and believe that an increase of 100 basis points in interest rates would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $3.1 million per year based on $313.8 million of floating rate mortgage debt and floating rate line of credit balances outstanding at June 30, 2024.
Further, the table below incorporates only those exposures that exist as of June 30, 2024, and does not consider exposures or positions that could arise after that date or obligations repaid before maturity. Since firm commitments are not presented, the table has limited predictive value. As a result, our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, our hedging strategies at that time, and actual interest rates.
The table below presents the principal cash flow payments associated with our outstanding debt by year, weighted average interest rates on debt outstanding at each year-end, and fair value of total debt as of June 30, 2024.

(1)
Reflects amount of debt maturities during each of the years presented as of June 30, 2024.
(2)
Reflects weighted average interest rates of debt outstanding at the end of each year presented. For variable rate debt, the rate as of June 30, 2024, was used to determine the average interest rate for all future periods.
