DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING
Net Investment Hedges
The Company has entered into U.S. dollar to euro cross currency swap contracts with various counterparties to hedge the Company’s net investment in its European operations. These contracts qualified for and were designated as net investment hedges under US GAAP. During the term of the contracts, the Company will pay fixed-rate interest in euros and receive fixed-rate interest in U.S. dollars, thereby effectively converting a portion of the Company's U.S. dollar denominated fixed-rate debt to euro denominated fixed-rate debt. The cash flow impact of these net investment hedges is classified as an investing activity in the Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows. The outstanding contracts as of December 31, 2025 are summarized by maturity date in the table below.
