The Company performed an initial qualitative assessment of hedge effectiveness using the hypothetical derivative method in the period in which the hedging transaction was entered, as the critical terms of the hypothetical derivative and the hedging instrument are the same. In future reporting periods, the Company will perform a qualitative analysis for quarterly prospective and retrospective assessments of hedge effectiveness. The Company also monitors the risk of counterparty default on an ongoing basis and noted that the counterparty is a reputable financial institution. The unrealized loss on the derivative instrument was initially reported within other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2019, and will be subsequently reclassified to earnings in interest expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations when the hedged transaction affects earnings. There were no reclassifications from other comprehensive loss into interest expense for the three months September 30, 2019.
