Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company uses interest rate swap agreements (the “Swaps”) to manage its interest rate risk associated with its borrowings under the Credit Facility. Notwithstanding the terms of the swaps, the Company is ultimately obligated for all amounts due and payable under the Credit Facility. The derivative instruments are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are reported in other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to earnings in a manner that matches the timing of the earnings impact of the hedged transactions. Management intends that the Swaps remain effective and, on a quarterly basis, evaluates them to determine their effectiveness or ineffectiveness and records the change in fair value as an adjustment to other comprehensive income or loss. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company entered into new floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps for a total notional amount of $100.0 million that will mature on June 27, 2028.

At September 30, 2023, the Company had floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps for an aggregate notional amount of $275.0 million, of which $100.0 million will mature on February 28, 2025, $75.0 million will mature on February 28, 2028, and $100.0 million will mature on June 27, 2028. The Company has designated the Swaps as cash flow hedges.
