Note 7. Derivative Instruments
In May 2023, the Company entered into a five-year floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement with the objective of reducing exposure to the fluctuating interest rates associated with the Company’s variable rate borrowing program by paying quarterly a fixed interest rate of 3.79%, plus a margin of 2% to 3%. The interest rate swap agreement was effective on June 30, 2023, and terminates on February 14, 2028, consistent with the duration of the maturity of the Term Loan. As of December 31, 2023, the interest rate swap agreement had a notional amount of $390.0 million.
The Company’s interest rate swap agreement is designated as a cash flow hedge under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), involving the assumption of variable amounts by a swap counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments to the counterparty over the life of the agreement, without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. These hedges are highly effective in offsetting changes in the Company’s future expected cash flows due to the fluctuation of the Company’s variable rate debt. The Company monitors the effectiveness of its hedges on a quarterly basis. The Company does not hold its interest rate swap agreement for trading or speculative purposes. The Company will recognize its interest rate derivative designated as a cash flow hedge on a gross basis as an asset and a liability at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The unrealized gains and losses on the interest rate swap agreement are included in other comprehensive income (loss) and will be subsequently recognized in earnings within or against interest expense when the hedged interest payments are accrued.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company estimates the net amount related to the interest rate swaps under the interest rate swap agreement expected to be reclassified into earnings over the next 12 months is approximately $3.5 million. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company reclassified $3.1 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings as an offset and reduction to interest expense.
