Financial Instruments Financial Instruments
(a) Credit Risk
Concentration of credit risk with the Company’s customers is limited due to the Company’s customer base and the diversity of its sales throughout the world. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and maintains a provision for potential credit losses. The Company generally does not require collateral for its trade accounts receivable.
(b) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts
The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge its foreign currency exposures on future production expenses and tax credit receivables denominated in various foreign currencies (i.e., cash flow hedges). The Company also enters into forward foreign exchange contracts that economically hedge certain of its foreign currency risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting. The Company monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions that are party to its financial transactions. Changes in the fair value of the foreign exchange contracts that are designated as hedges are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and changes in the fair value of foreign exchange contracts that are not designated as hedges and do not qualify for hedge accounting are recorded in direct operating expense. Gains and losses realized upon settlement of the foreign exchange contracts that are designated as hedges are amortized to direct operating expense on the same basis as the production expenses being hedged.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had the following outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts (all outstanding contracts have maturities of less than 30 months from March 31, 2023):

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through its borrowing activities. The Company’s objective is to mitigate the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows. The Company primarily uses pay-fixed interest rate swaps to facilitate its interest rate risk management activities, which the Company generally designates as cash flow hedges of interest payments on floating-rate borrowings. Pay-fixed swaps effectively convert floating-rate borrowings to fixed-rate borrowings. The unrealized gains or losses from these designated cash flow hedges are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized in interest expense as the interest payments occur. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps that are not designated as hedges are recorded in interest expense (see further explanation below).

Cash settlements related to interest rate contracts are generally classified as operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. However, due to a financing component (debt host) on a portion of our previously outstanding interest rate swaps (see Designated Cash Flow Hedges at March 31, 2022 table below), the cash flows related to these contracts were classified as financing activities through the date of termination.

Outstanding at March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had the following designated cash flow hedge pay-fixed interest rate swaps outstanding, and the following not designated pay-fixed receive-variable and offsetting pay-variable receive-fixed interest rate swaps outstanding (related to the Company's LIBOR-based debt, see Note 7 and Note 8).

__________________
(1)During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, the Company completed a series of transactions to amend and extend certain interest rate swap agreements, and as part of these transactions, the $1.4 billion pay-fixed receive-variable interest rate swaps presented in the table above were de-designated, and the Company entered into $1.4 billion of pay-variable receive-fixed interest rate swaps, as presented in the table above, which are designed to offset the terms of the $1.4 billion of pay-fixed receive-variable swaps in the table above. At the time of the de-designation of the above $1.4 billion in pay-fixed receive-variable interest rate swaps, there was approximately $163.0 million of unrealized losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). This amount is being amortized to interest expense through the remaining term of the de-designated swaps unless it becomes probable that the cash flows originally hedged will not occur, in which case the proportionate amount of the loss will be recorded to interest expense at that time. The $1.4 billion of pay-fixed receive-variable interest rate swaps de-designated as cash flow hedges and the $1.4 billion of offsetting pay-variable receive-fixed swaps were marked to market with changes in fair value recognized, along with the fixed and variable payments on these swaps, in interest expense, which netted to an immaterial amount
(2)Terminated in May 2022, see May 2022 Transactions description below.
(3)Re-designated in May 2022, see May 2022 Transactions description below.
May 2022 Transactions: In May 2022, the Company terminated certain of its interest rate swap contracts with effective dates of May 19, 2020, June 15, 2020 and August 14, 2020, (the "Terminated Swaps"), as presented in the tables above. As a result of the terminations, the Company received approximately $56.4 million. Simultaneously with the termination of the Terminated Swaps, the Company re-designated all other swaps previously not designated (i.e., swaps with effective dates of May 23, 2018, June 25, 2018, July 31, 2018 and December 24, 2018 (the "Re-designated Swaps")) as cash flow hedges of variable rate debt with an aggregate notional amount of $1.4 billion. In addition to the $1.4 billion Re-designated Swaps, the Company also has $300.0 million of other interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges as of March 31, 2023. Accordingly, at March 31, 2023, the Company has a total of $1.7 billion of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges (see Designated Cash Flow Hedges at March 31, 2023 table below).

The receipt of approximately $56.4 million as a result of the termination was recorded as a reduction of the asset values of the derivatives amounting to $188.7 million and a reduction of the financing component (debt host) of the Terminated Swaps amounting to $131.3 million. At the time of the termination of the Terminated Swaps, there was approximately $180.4 million of unrealized gains recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to these Terminated Swaps. This amount will be amortized as a reduction of interest expense through the remaining term of the swaps unless it becomes probable that the cash flows originally hedged will not occur, in which case the proportionate amount of the gain will be recorded as a reduction to interest expense at that time. In addition, the liability amount of $6.8 million for the Re-designated Swaps (see Designated Cash Flow Hedges at March 31, 2023 table below) at the re-designation date will be amortized as a reduction of interest expense throughout the remaining term of the Re-designated Swaps, unless it becomes probable that the cash flows originally hedged will not occur, in which case the proportionate amount of the loss will be recorded to interest expense at that time.

The receipt of approximately $56.4 million was classified in the consolidated statement of cash flows as cash provided by operating activities of $188.7 million reflecting the amount received for the derivative portion of the termination of swaps, and a use of cash in financing activities of $134.5 million reflecting the pay down of the financing component of the Terminated Swaps (inclusive of payments made between April 1, 2022 and the termination date amounting to $3.2 million).

Outstanding at March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had the following pay-fixed interest rate swaps which have been designated as cash flow hedges outstanding (all related to the Company's LIBOR-based debt, see Note 7 and Note 8):

Consolidated balance sheets: The Company classifies its forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements within Level 2 as the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments (see Note 10). The portion of the swaps reflecting the financing component (debt host) of the hybrid instrument discussed above is recorded at amortized cost and reduced over time based on payments. Pursuant to the Company's accounting policy to offset the fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments, the Company presents the asset or liability position of the swaps that are with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement net as either an asset or liability in its consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2023, there were no swaps outstanding that were subject to a master netting arrangement. As of March 31, 2022, the gross amount of swaps in an asset and liability position that were subject to a master netting arrangement was $169.6 million and $147.3 million, respectively, resulting in an asset recorded in other assets - non-current of $32.0 million and a liability recorded in other liabilities - non-current of $9.8 million.
As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had the following amounts recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets related to the Company's use of derivatives:
