Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Financial Instruments Derivative Financial Instruments
Our derivative instruments consist of interest rate swaps used to mitigate interest rate risk. As a result, we have counterparty credit exposure to large global financial institutions, which we monitor on an ongoing basis. Note 7 provides the fair value and classification of these instruments.

During 2023, we amended interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $1.5 billion to replace the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) with the daily Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as part of our planned reference rate reform activities. These amendments did not result in any change to our application of hedge accounting or any impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Under our swap agreements, we pay a floating rate equal to the daily SOFR compounded over six months and receive a weighted average fixed rate of 2.8 percent. The agreements have a weighted average remaining maturity of 4.9 years. As of February 3, 2024, and January 28, 2023, interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $2.45 billion were designated as fair value hedges, and all were considered to be perfectly effective under the shortcut method during 2023 and 2022.

During 2022, we terminated forward-starting interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges that hedged $2.15 billion of the $2.65 billion 2022 debt issuances described in Note 16. The resulting gains upon termination of these swap agreements totaling $419 million were recorded in Accumulated Comprehensive Loss (AOCI) and are recognized as a reduction to Net Interest Expense over the respective term of the debt. The cash flows related to forward-starting interest rate swaps are included within operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
