Interest Rate Swaps
In 2020, we entered into interest swap agreements (“Initial Swaps”) that covered the period through November 2024, and effectively converted borrowings under our senior credit facilities to a fixed rate of 1.077%, plus the applicable margin. In September 2024, commensurate with the Second Amendment, we entered into additional interest rate swap agreements (“Additional Swaps”). The Additional Swaps have a notional amount of $524.6, cover the period from December 2024 to June 2026, and effectively convert this portion of the borrowings under our senior credit facilities to a fixed rate of 3.58%, plus the applicable margin. We have designated, and are accounting for, our Additional Swaps (and, prior to their maturity, accounted for the Initial Swaps) as cash flow hedges.

In connection with an August 2022 amendment of the Credit Agreement, the Initial Swaps were amended to be based on SOFR as opposed to LIBOR. As mentioned in Note 3, we applied the optional expedient per ASU No. 2020-04, No. 2021-01, and 2022-06 and, thus, continued to designate and account for the Initial Swaps as cash flow hedges.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the unrealized gain, net of tax, recorded in AOCI was $2.6 and $5.7, respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements was $3.4 (with $2.7 recorded as a current asset and $0.7 as a non-current asset) and $7.5 recorded as a current asset, respectively. Changes in fair value of our interest rate swap agreements are reclassified into earnings as a component of interest expense when the forecasted transaction impacts earnings.
Currency Forward Contracts
We manufacture and sell our products in a number of countries and, as a result, are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our objective is to preserve the economic value of non-functional currency-denominated cash flows and to minimize the impact of changes as a result of currency fluctuations. Our principal currency exposures relate to the South African Rand, British Pound Sterling, Canadian Dollar, and Euro.
From time to time, we enter into forward contracts to manage the exposure on contracts with forecasted transactions denominated in non-functional currencies which manage the risk of transaction gains and losses associated with assets/liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of certain subsidiaries (“FX forward contracts”). Certain of our FX forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. Changes in these derivatives’ fair value are included in AOCI and are reclassified into earnings as a component of revenues or cost of products sold, as applicable, when the forecasted transaction impacts earnings. In addition, if the forecasted transaction is no longer probable, the cumulative change in the derivatives’ fair value is recorded into earnings in the period in which the transaction is no longer considered probable of occurring.
We had FX forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $22.9 and $9.4 outstanding as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, with all of the $22.9 scheduled to mature within one year. There were no unrealized gains/losses recorded in AOCI related to FX forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The fair value of our FX forward contracts was less than $0.1 at December 31, 2024 and 2023.
In addition to the above, we entered FX forward contracts associated with the Settlement Agreement to mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in the South African Rand, with a notional amount of South African Rand 480.9 (or $24.9 at the time of execution) and a fair value of $1.3, which was included within “Assets of DBT and Heat Transfer” on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023. We designated and accounted for these FX forward contracts as fair value hedges. These FX forward contracts matured during the third quarter of 2024 commensurate with the final payment under the Settlement Agreement, resulting in cash received of $2.0 presented within “Net cash used in discontinued operations” within the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 4 for additional details.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and equivalents, trade accounts receivable, COLI policies, interest rate swaps, and FX forward contracts. These financial instruments, other than trade accounts receivable, are placed with high-quality financial institutions throughout the world. We periodically evaluate the credit standing of these financial institutions.
We maintain cash levels in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed federally-insured limits. We have not experienced significant loss, and believe we are not exposed to significant risk of loss, in these accounts.
We have credit loss exposure in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to the above financial instruments, but have no other off-balance-sheet credit risk of accounting loss. We anticipate, however, that counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. We do not obtain collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk, but we do monitor the credit standing of counterparties.
Concentrations of credit risk arising from trade accounts receivable are due to selling to customers in a particular industry. Credit risks are mitigated by performing ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial conditions and obtaining collateral, advance payments, or other security when appropriate. No one customer, or group of customers that to our knowledge are under common control, accounted for more than 10% of our revenues for any period presented.
