|  | March 31, 2024 |  | September 30, 2023

The Company enters into interest rate swaps in order to achieve a mix of fixed and variable rate debt that it deems appropriate. The interest rate swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges of future variable interest payments which are considered probable of occurring. Based on the Company's assessment, all of the critical terms of each of the hedges matched the underlying terms of the hedged debt and related forecasted interest payments, and as such, these hedges were considered highly effective. The fair value of the interest rate swaps reflected a net unrealized gain of $1,767 ($1,319 after tax) at March 31, 2024 and $4,006 ($2,991 after tax) at September 30, 2023, that is included in shareholders' equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"). Unrecognized gains of $5,775 ($4,316 after tax) and $8,084 ($6,041 after tax) related to previously terminated LIBOR-based swaps were also included in AOCI as of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. Assuming market rates remain constant with the rates at March 31, 2024, a gain (net of tax) of approximately $2,896 included in AOCI is expected to be recognized in earnings over the next twelve months. The Company has a U.S. Dollar/Euro cross currency swap with a notional amount of $81,392, as of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, which has been designated as a net investment hedge of foreign operations. The swap contract matures in September 2027. The Company assesses hedge effectiveness for this contract based on changes in fair value attributable to changes in spot prices. A loss of $3,790 (net of income taxes of $1,286) and a loss of $2,065 (net of income taxes of $701), which represented effective hedges of net investments, were reported as a component of AOCI within currency translation adjustment at March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. Income of $327 and $586, which represented the recognized portion of the fair value of cross currency swaps excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, was included in current period earnings as a component of interest expense for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, respectively. Income of $309 and $581, which represented the recognized portion of the fair value of cross currency swaps excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, was included in current period earnings as a component of interest expense for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, respectively. At March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the swap totaled $5,076 and $2,766, respectively, and was included in other accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Note 8. Derivatives and Hedging Activities (continued) The Company uses certain foreign currency debt instruments as net investment hedges of foreign operations with a notional amount of €55.0 million ($59,370) as of March 31, 2024. Currency losses of $1,991 (net of income taxes of $675), which represent effective hedges of net investments, were reported as a component of AOCI within currency translation adjustment at March 31, 2024. Refer to Note 12, "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" for further details regarding amounts recorded in AOCI and the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) related to derivatives.
