Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Note 8 – Derivatives

Hedging of Interest Rate Risk

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract to mitigate its exposure to changes in variable interest rates. The Company's interest rate swap was designated as a cash flow hedge as of the effective date, March 17, 2023, and continues to be designated as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap is reflected at its fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 7 for further information on the fair value of the interest rate swap.

Details of the pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swap contract are as follows:


Effective Date	Maturity Date	Notional Value (in millions)	Pay Fixed Rate	Receive Floating Rate	Floating Rate Reset Terms
March 17, 2023	November 17, 2027	$150	3.646%	One-Month CME Term SOFR	Monthly

The Company performed an initial quantitative assessment of hedge effectiveness using the change-in-variable-cash-flows method. Under this method, the Company assessed the effectiveness of the hedging relationship by comparing the present value of the cumulative change in the expected future cash flows on the variable leg of the interest rate swap with the present value of the cumulative change in the expected future interest cash flows on the variable-rate debt. The Company determined the interest rate swap to be highly effective. To assess for continued hedge effectiveness, the Company performs retrospective and prospective qualitative assessments each quarter. The Company also monitors the credit risk of the counterparty on an ongoing basis. The change in the fair value of the interest rate swap is initially reported in "Other comprehensive (loss) income" in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified to earnings in "Interest expense, net" in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings when the hedged transactions affect earnings.

The location and the fair value of the interest rate swap in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of April 19, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively, are as follows:
