In June 2023, the Company amended the terms of its interest rate swap agreements to implement a forward-looking interest rate based on Term SOFR in place of LIBOR. Since the interest rate swap agreements were affected by reference rate reform, the Company applied the expedients and exceptions provided to preserve the past presentation of its derivatives without de-designating the existing hedging relationships. All amendments to interest rate swap agreements were executed with the existing counterparties and did not change the notional amounts, maturity dates, or other critical terms of the hedging relationships.

As of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had in effect interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount totaling $500,000.

On June 11, 2018, in order to hedge a portion of its variable rate debt, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap (the “2018 swap”) with an effective date of April 2, 2020 and a termination date of March 31, 2024. The initial notional amount of this swap was $500,000. During the term of this swap, the notional amount decreased from $500,000 effective April 2, 2020 to $250,000 on March 31, 2021. Following the transition from LIBOR to Term SOFR, this interest rate swap effectively fixed the variable interest rate on the notional amount of this swap at 3.1513%. On June 7, 2019, in order to hedge a portion of its variable rate debt, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap (the “2019 swap”, and together with the 2018 swap, the “current swaps”) with an effective date of April 2, 2020 and a termination date of March 31, 2024. The notional amount of this swap is $250,000. Following the transition from LIBOR to Term SOFR, this interest rate swap effectively fixed the variable interest rate on the notional amount of this swap at 1.9645%. The current swaps qualify for hedge accounting and, therefore, changes in the fair value of the current swaps have been recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

As of December 30, 2023, the cumulative unrealized gain for qualifying hedges was reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the amount of $2,716 ($3,474 before taxes). As of December 31, 2022, the cumulative unrealized gain for qualifying hedges was reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the amount of $10,723 ($14,146 before taxes).

The following table presents the aggregate fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments by balance sheet classification and location:

The Company is hedging forecasted transactions for periods not exceeding the next year.
