Net Investment Hedge

We have designated our aggregate €800 million Euro-denominated 4.875% senior notes due March 2031 as a hedge of our net investment in our Euro-denominated operations. The purpose of the net investment hedge is to reduce the volatility of our net investment in our Euro-denominated operations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Investments in foreign operations with functional currencies other than the reporting currency are subject to foreign currency risk as the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into the reporting currency at the period-end rate of exchange with the resulting foreign currency translation adjustment presented as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and included in accumulated other comprehensive loss within equity in our consolidated balance sheets. Under net investment hedge accounting, the foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses associated with our Euro-denominated senior notes are presented within the same components of other comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated other comprehensive loss, partially offsetting the foreign currency translation adjustment for our foreign subsidiaries.

We recognized a loss on the net investment hedge of $68.0 million and $9.5 million within foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive income (loss) in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Interest Rate Swaps

We have interest rate swap agreements with financial institutions to hedge changes in cash flows attributable to interest rate risk on a portion of our variable-rate debt instruments. Net amounts to be received or paid under the swap agreements are reflected as adjustments to interest expense. Since we have designated the interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges, unrealized gains or losses resulting from adjusting the swaps to fair value are recognized as components of other comprehensive income (loss). The fair values of our interest rate swaps are determined based on the present value of the estimated future net cash flows using implied rates in the applicable yield curve as of the valuation date. These derivative instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The table below presents information about our interest rate swaps, designated as cash flow hedges, included in our consolidated balance sheets:

Treasury Locks

In the second quarter of 2025, we entered into $1.5 billion of notional treasury lock derivative instruments to hedge interest rate risk in anticipation of our future issuance of fixed rate notes at an average fixed rate of 4.53%. Each of these treasury locks was designated as a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction, and unrealized gains or losses resulting from adjusting the treasury locks to fair value were recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss).

Upon issuance of our senior unsecured notes in November 2025, we terminated the treasury locks and the related accumulated other comprehensive loss will be amortized to interest expense over future periods. We recognized a deferred settlement liability upon termination of the treasury locks, payable in three equal installments over a 3-year period ending September 2028. The settlement liability was $53.7 million and $53.1 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
