Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Derivative instruments we are party to include: (i) interest rate swap agreements (which are designated as cash flow hedges) and (ii) cross-currency swap agreements (which are designated as net investment hedges).

INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS DESIGNATED AS CASH FLOW HEDGES

In November 2022, we entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on future borrowings under our Virginia Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 7 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report). The forward-starting interest rate swap agreement commences in July 2023 and expires in October 2025. As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we have $4,800 in notional value outstanding on this forward-starting interest rate swap agreement.

In July 2019, we entered into forward-starting interest rate swap agreements to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of our floating rate indebtedness. These forward-starting interest rate swap agreements commenced in March 2022. As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we have $350,000 in notional value outstanding on these interest rate swap agreements, which expire in March 2024.

We have designated each of the interest rate swap agreements described above as cash flow hedges. These interest rate swap agreements are marked to market at the end of each reporting period, representing the fair values of the interest rate swap agreements, and any changes in fair value are recognized as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive items, net. Unrealized gains are recognized as assets, while unrealized losses are recognized as liabilities.

CROSS-CURRENCY SWAP AGREEMENTS DESIGNATED AS A HEDGE OF NET INVESTMENT

We utilize cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge the variability of exchange rate impacts between the United States dollar and the Euro. As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we have approximately $469,200 in notional value outstanding on cross-currency interest rate swaps with maturity dates ranging from August 2023 through February 2026.

We have designated these cross-currency swap agreements as hedges of net investments in certain of our Euro denominated subsidiaries and they require an exchange of the notional amounts at maturity. These cross-currency swap agreements are marked to market at the end of each reporting period, representing the fair values of the cross-currency swap agreements, and any changes in fair value are recognized as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive items, net. Unrealized gains are recognized as assets while unrealized losses are recognized as liabilities. The excluded component of our cross-currency swap agreements is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive items, net and amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis.

The fair value of derivative instruments recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, by derivative instrument, are as follows:
