The Company hedges a portion of its forecasted foreign currency-denominated intercompany sales of inventory, over a maximum period of eighteen months, using foreign exchange forward contracts accounted for as cash-flow hedges. To the extent these derivatives are effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, and otherwise meet the hedge accounting criteria, changes in the derivatives' fair value are not included in current earnings but are included in OCI in stockholders' equity. These changes in fair value will subsequently be reclassified into earnings, as applicable, when the forecasted transaction occurs. To the extent that a previously designated hedging transaction is no longer an effective hedge, any ineffectiveness measured in the hedging relationship is recorded in earnings in the period it occurs. The cash flows resulting from foreign exchange forward contracts are classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows as part of cash flows from operating activities. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company also enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against changes in the consolidated balance sheets for certain subsidiaries to mitigate the risk associated with certain foreign currency transactions in the ordinary course of business. These derivatives are not designated as cash flow hedging instruments and gains or losses from these derivatives are recorded immediately in other expense, net.

The following tables provide a summary of the primary net hedging positions and fair values of foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2023 and 2022:

The net amount of existing (losses) gains as of December 31, 2023 expected to be reclassified from OCI into earnings within the next 12 months is immaterial.

On January 1, 2023, the Company designated certain Euro-denominated debt as a net investment hedge to hedge a portion of its net investments in certain of its entities with functional currencies denominated in the Euro. As of December 31, 2023, the Company designated as a net investment hedge €593 million in aggregate principal amount of its Euro Tranche B issued in August 2022. For these net investment hedges, the Company defers recognition of the foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses within the foreign currency translation adjustment component of OCI. There was no net investment hedge designated in 2022 and all remeasurement gains and losses were recorded to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

The Company has various interest rate swap agreements that exchange a forward-looking term rate based on the variable secured overnight financing rate (“Term SOFR”) paid on the outstanding balance of its Term Loan Facility, as defined and further described in Note 15, to a fixed rate. The Company acquired USD London Interbank Offered Rate (“USD LIBOR”) interest rate cap agreements as a result of the Atotech Acquisition and had utilized these agreements to offset the variable Term SOFR on its Term Loan Facility. Effective June 30, 2023, the Company’s USD LIBOR based interest rate caps were converted to Term SOFR. The Company also had two USD LIBOR based swaps that were converted to Term SOFR, effective June 30, 2023. The conversions from USD LIBOR to Term SOFR did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

The table below summarizes interest rate swaps and interest rate caps outstanding at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

The interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and changes in the fair value are recognized in OCI. To the extent these arrangements are no longer effective hedges, the hedging relationship will be discontinued and changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments from the last assessment period that were effective up to the current period will be recorded immediately in earnings. Amounts previously recorded in OCI will remain in OCI and will be reclassified to earnings when the interest payments impact consolidated earnings. If the Company determines that the interest payments are unlikely to occur, amounts previously recorded in OCI will be reclassified to earnings immediately. Changes in the fair value of interest rate caps are recorded immediately in earnings, as the Company has not designated these instruments as hedges and therefore these instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting.

In connection with financing the Atotech Acquisition, the Company issued Euro denominated term loan debt. In anticipation of entering into these Euro denominated loans, the Company purchased foreign currency option contracts

in 2021 to fix the conversion of €300 into U.S. dollars. The options settled on January 31, 2022 and the Company recorded a gain of $5, net of premiums, which is included in other expense, net.

In conjunction with the Photon Control Acquisition, which closed in July 2021, the Company entered into a foreign currency contract to hedge the Canadian dollar purchase price. In 2021, the Company recorded a fair value realized loss of $10, which is included in other expense, net.
