Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Note 5–Derivative Instruments

We manage our risk to changes in interest rates through the use of derivative instruments. We do not hold derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. For variable rate borrowings, we use fixed interest rate swaps, effectively converting a portion of the variable interest rate payments to fixed interest rate payments. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges.

The fair value of the interest rate swaps was as follows:

The cash flows associated with the interest rate swaps are classified as operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Cash Flow Hedges

We have interest rate swap agreements to hedge the cash flows of $500 million of the variable rate senior unsecured term loan (the "Variable Rate Loan"). These interest rate swap agreements have a maturity date of August 2025 and a fixed interest rate of 2.96%. The objective of these instruments is to reduce variability in the forecasted interest payments of the Variable Rate Loan. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, we will receive monthly variable interest payments based on the one-month SOFR and will pay interest at a fixed rate.

The interest rate swap transactions are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The gain/loss on the swaps is reported as a component of other comprehensive (loss) income and is reclassified into earnings when the interest payments on the underlying hedged items impact earnings. A qualitative assessment of hedge effectiveness is performed on a quarterly basis, unless facts and circumstances indicate the hedge may no longer be highly effective.

The effect of the cash flow hedges on other comprehensive (loss) income and earnings for the periods presented was as follows:
