Realized gains and losses on derivatives used in our regulatory utility operations are recorded in cost of sales upon settlement; however, they may be subsequently deferred for future rate recovery or refund as the gains and losses are included in our utilities’ fuel and natural gas cost recovery mechanisms. Realized gains and losses on FTRs and TCRs used in our non-utility operations are recorded in operating revenues on the income statements. Our estimated notional sales volumes and realized gains and losses were as follows for the years ended:

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had posted cash collateral of $100.3 million and $122.4 million, respectively. The following table shows derivative assets and derivative liabilities if derivative instruments by counterparty were presented net on our balance sheets:

(1) Includes cash collateral posted of $67.9 million. (2) Includes cash collateral posted of $65.0 million. Cash Flow Hedges Until their expiration on November 15, 2021, we had two interest rate swaps with a combined notional value of $250.0 million to hedge the variable interest rate risk associated with our 2007 Junior Notes. The swaps provided a fixed interest rate of 4.9765% on $250.0 million of the $500.0 million of outstanding 2007 Junior Notes. As these swaps qualified for cash flow hedge accounting treatment, the related gains and losses were deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss and were amortized to interest expense as interest was accrued on the 2007 Junior Notes. We also previously entered into forward interest rate swap agreements to mitigate the interest rate exposure associated with the issuance of long-term debt related to the acquisition of Integrys. These swap agreements were settled in 2015, and we continue to amortize amounts out of accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense over the periods in which the interest costs are recognized in earnings. The derivative gains and losses related to these swap agreements recognized in other comprehensive income and reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 were not significant. At December 31, 2023, the amount expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense over the next twelve months was also not significant.
