We are exposed to certain risks arising from operating internationally, including fluctuations in foreign exchange rates primarily related to the translation of sterling and euro-denominated net monetary liabilities, including intercompany balances, held by subsidiaries with a U.S. dollar functional currency and fluctuations in interest rates on our outstanding term loan borrowings. We manage these exposures within specified guidelines through the use of derivatives. All of our derivative instruments are utilized for risk management purposes, and we do not use derivatives for speculative trading purposes.

We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts, with durations of up to 12 months, designed to limit the exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates related to the translation of certain non-U.S. dollar denominated liabilities, including intercompany balances. Hedge accounting is not applied to these derivative instruments as gains and losses on these hedge transactions are designed to offset gains and losses on underlying balance sheet exposures. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the notional amount of foreign exchange contracts where hedge accounting is not applied was $537.1 million and $511.7 million, respectively.

The foreign exchange gain (loss) in our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) included the following gain (losses) associated with foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments (in thousands):

To achieve a desired mix of floating and fixed interest rates on our variable rate debt, we entered into interest rate swap agreements in April 2023, which are effective until April 2026. These agreements hedge contractual term loan interest rates. As of March 31, 2024, the interest rate swap agreements had a notional amount of $500.0 million. As a result of these agreements, the interest rate on a portion of our term loan borrowings is fixed at 3.9086%, plus the borrowing spread, until April 30, 2026.

The impact on accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and earnings from derivative instruments that qualified as cash flow hedges for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was as follows (in thousands):


Interest Rate Contracts:	Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

Gain recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax	$	5,177
Gain reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense, net of tax	(1,356)

Assuming no change in the U.S dollar Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or Term SOFR, based interest rates from market rates as of March 31, 2024, $3.7 million of gains, net of tax, recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified to earnings over the next 12 months.

The cash flow effects of our derivative contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are included within net cash provided by operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Although we do not offset derivative assets and liabilities within our condensed consolidated balance sheets, our International Swap and Derivatives Association agreements provide for net settlement of transactions that are due to or from the same counterparty upon early termination of the agreement due to an event of default or other termination event. The following table summarizes the potential effect on our condensed consolidated balance sheets of offsetting our interest rate and foreign exchange forward contracts subject to such provisions (in thousands):
