Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments

Net Investment Hedges

In September 2022, we entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps, which effectively convert a portion of our U.S. dollar-denominated fixed-rate debt to foreign currency-denominated fixed-rate debt in order to hedge the currency exposure associated with our net investment in foreign subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2022, we had cross-currency interest rate swaps outstanding with notional amounts of $1.67 billion and maturity dates ranging through 2028. We had no such instruments outstanding as of December 31, 2021.

The effect of these net investment hedges on accumulated other comprehensive income and the consolidated income statements for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was as follows (in thousands):

Cash Flow Hedges  

We had no material outstanding derivatives designated as cash flow hedges as of the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to interest rate swaps are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our debt. As of December 31, 2022, we had no material interest rate swap agreements outstanding.

On December 13, 2021, in connection with the paydown of our secured note due March 2023, we terminated interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts in the aggregate of $104.0 million and, as a result of the termination, the accumulated fair value of the interest rate swap will be ratably reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense on the accompanying consolidated income statement over the original term of the interest rate swap. On September 24, 2020, in connection with the paydown of our Term Loan maturing in 2023, we terminated interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts in the aggregate of $300.0 million, as a result of the termination, the accumulated fair value of the interest rate swap was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense on the accompanying consolidated income statement, which resulted in a realized loss of approximately $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Credit-Risk Related Contingent Features

Upon entering into derivatives, we have agreements with each of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision where we could be declared in default on our derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to our default on the indebtedness.
