Derivatives and Hedging Activities Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions and principally manages its exposures to such risks through management of its core business activities. The Company, on a routine basis and in the normal course of business, experiences expenses denominated in foreign currencies, which include, but are not limited to, the Canadian Dollar ("CAD") and the Great British Pound ("GBP"). Such expenses expose the Company to exchange rate fluctuations between these foreign currencies and the U.S. Dollar ("USD"). The Company occasionally uses derivative financial instruments, in the form of forward contracts, to mitigate a portion of the risk associated with adverse movements in these foreign currency exchange rates during a twelve-month window. Currency forward contracts involve fixing the exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. The Company's accounting treatment for these instruments is based on whether or not the instruments are designated as a hedging instrument. The Company applied hedge accounting to all foreign currency derivatives and designated these hedges as cash flow hedges.
The Company's foreign exchange contracts had the following outstanding balances:

These foreign currency forward contracts were designated as cash flow hedges and the unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, were recorded as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, net" ("AOCI") in the Balance Sheets. The effective portions of the cash flow hedges were recorded in AOCI until the hedged items were recognized in either "Selling, general and administrative expense" or "Product development and engineering expense" in the Statements of Operations once the foreign exchange contract matured, offsetting the underlying hedged expenses. Any ineffective portions of the cash flow hedges were recorded in "Non-operating income, net" in the Statements of Operations. The Company presents its derivative assets and liabilities at their gross fair values in the Balance Sheets.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a 2.75 year term to hedge the variability of interest payments on $150.0 million of debt outstanding on the Term Loans at a Term SOFR rate of 3.58%, plus a variable margin and spread based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. This interest rate swap agreement was partially terminated in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 and fully terminated in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a 5 year term to hedge the variability of interest payments on $450.0 million of debt outstanding on the Term Loans at a Term SOFR rate of 3.44%, plus a variable margin and spread based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. This interest rate swap agreement was terminated in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 due to partial repayment of the Term Loans.
The interest rate swap agreements have been designated as cash flow hedges and unrealized gains or losses, net of income tax, are recorded as a component of AOCI in the Balance Sheets. As the various settlements are made on a monthly basis, the realized gain or loss on the settlements are recorded in "Interest expense" in the Statements of Operations. The interest rate swap agreements resulted in an immaterial realized gain for the three months ended October 26, 2025, compared to a realized gain of $2.6 million for the three months ended October 27, 2024. The interest rate swap agreements resulted in a realized gain of $0.2 million for the nine months ended October 26, 2025, compared to a realized gain of $8.2 million for the nine months ended October 27, 2024.
