Derivatives Derivatives
The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk related to its variable rate debt. The Company’s objectives in using these interest rate derivatives, which were designated as cash flow hedges, are to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and reduce volatility of interest expense.
The following table summarizes the material terms of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swap derivative contracts as of March 31, 2023:

4Variable to Fixed150,000June 30, 2023June 30, 2026
These swaps mature within the last tranche of the Company's floating rate debt (November 26, 2026).
The floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps involve the exchange of variable interest amounts from a counterparty for the Company making fixed-rate interest payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount and effectively converting a portion of the variable rate debt into fixed interest rate debt.
Derivative instruments are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet on a gross basis at estimated fair value. As of March 31, 2023, $11.2 million, $3.5 million and $1.4 million were classified as other current assets, other long-term assets and other long-term liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2022, $4.1 million, $4.3 million and $39 thousand were classified as other long term assets, other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheet.
For interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value of derivatives is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), or AOCI, net of taxes, and is subsequently reclassified into interest expense, net in the period that the hedged forecasted interest payments are made on the Company's variable-rate debt. The effect of derivative instruments on the accompanying consolidated financial statements is as follows:

(1) The reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) to net income was reduced by taxes of $0.3 million, $4.6 million and $5.4 million, respectively, for fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021.
Over the next 12 months, the Company estimates that $11.3 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense. Cash flows associated with periodic settlements of interest rate swaps will be classified as operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
The Company is subject to counterparty risk in connection with its interest rate swap derivative contracts. Credit risk related to a derivative financial instrument represents the possibility that the counterparty will not fulfill the terms of the contract. The Company mitigates this credit risk by entering into agreements with credit-worthy counterparties and regularly reviews its credit exposure and the creditworthiness of the counterparties.
