Derivatives

In February 2023, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract to improve the predictability of cash flows from interest payments related to its variable, SOFR-based debt. The swap contract had a notional amount of $21.7 million as of December 31, 2024, and matures on December 22, 2025. This swap contract effectively converts the SOFR-based variable portion of the interest payable under the Credit Agreement into fixed-rate debt at an annual rate of 4.75%. The swap contract does not impact the additional interest related to the applicable interest rate margin as discussed above in Note 10, Debt. The swap contract is considered an effective cash flow hedge, and as a result, net gains or losses are reported as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) in the consolidated financial statements and are reclassified when the underlying hedged interest impacts earnings. An assessment is performed quarterly to evaluate the ongoing hedge effectiveness.

The following table presents the notional amount and fair value of the Company’s derivative instrument as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:
