Risk management objective of using derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. From time to time, the Company enters into interest rate swap transactions to manage exposures that arise from payments of variable interest rate debt associated with the Company's senior secured credit agreements. The objective and strategy with respect to these interest rate swaps is to protect the Company against adverse fluctuations in interest rates.
During the second quarter of 2023, the Company terminated its designated interest rate swap transactions with a total notional value of $350.0 million. Hedge accounting was also discontinued at that time. As of September 30, 2023, the remaining accumulated other comprehensive income associated with the terminated interest rate swaps, before tax, was $0.5 million and will be amortized to earnings over the remaining term of the interest rate swaps prior to termination.
The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments designated as hedges as well as their classification on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

The valuation of the interest rate swaps is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each interest rate swap. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate swaps, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments (or receipts) and the discounted expected variable cash receipts (or payments). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments in the fair value measurements to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk. These credit valuation adjustments were not significant inputs for the fair value calculations for the periods presented. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as the posting of collateral, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees. The valuation of interest rate swaps fall into Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
