Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
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 December 31, 2024 and 2023,
the notional amount of foreign exchange contracts where hedge accounting was not applied was $461.2 million and $511.7 million, respectively.
The foreign exchange gain (loss) in our consolidated statements of income (loss) included the following gains (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 December 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 loss and earnings from derivative instruments that qualified as cash flow hedges was as follows (in thousands):

Interest Rate Contracts:20242023
Gain recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax$5,298 $3,658 
Gain reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense, net of tax(4,793)(3,423)
Assuming no change in the Term SOFR based interest rates from market rates as of December 31, 2024, $0.7 million of gains, net of tax, recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified to earnings over the next 12 months.
In order to hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk associated with our Euro Term Loan, we entered into a cross-currency interest rate swap contract in May 2021, which matured in March 2022, and was de-designated as a fair value hedge. The terms of this contract converted the principal repayments and interest payments on the Euro Term Loan into U.S. dollars. The carrying amount of the Euro Term Loan and the fair value of the cross-currency interest rate swap contract were remeasured on a monthly basis, with changes in the euro to U.S. dollar foreign exchange rates recognized within foreign exchange gain (loss) in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
The impact on accumulated other comprehensive loss and earnings from the cross-currency interest rate swap contract was as follows (in thousands):
Year Ended December 31,
Cross-Currency Interest Rate Contract:2022
Loss reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to foreign exchange loss, net of tax$128 
Loss recognized in foreign exchange loss2,646 
The cash flow effects of our derivative contracts are included within net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows, except for the settlement of notional amounts of the cross-currency swap, which were included in net cash used in financing activities.

Although we do not offset derivative assets and liabilities within our 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.
