During the six months ended March 31, 2021, we did not purchase or hold any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. See Note 5, Fair Value Measurements, for the classification and fair value of our derivative instruments.

We regularly enter into foreign currency forwards to mitigate our exposure to exchange rate changes on inventory purchases in U.S. dollars by our foreign subsidiaries. At March 31, 2021, the notional amount we held through these forwards, based upon exchange rates at March 31, 2021, was as follows (in thousands):

Notional Currency	Notional Amount
Euro	$	8,717
Mexican Peso		7,235
Canadian Dollar		2,659
Total	$	18,611

We record quarterly, net of income tax, the changes in fair value related to the foreign currency forwards into AOCL. As the forwards are exercised, the realized value is recognized into cost of goods sold based on inventory turns. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized gains of $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, into cost of goods sold on our condensed consolidated statements of earnings. Based on March 31, 2021, valuations and exchange rates, we expect to reclassify losses of approximately $0.7 million into cost of goods sold over the next 12 months.

In July 2017, we purchased two interest rate caps with an initial aggregate notional amount of $550 million (the “interest rate caps”) to mitigate the exposure to higher interest rates in connection with our term loan B. The interest rate caps are comprised of individual caplets that expire ratably through June 30, 2023, and are designated as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, changes in fair value of the interest rate caps are recorded quarterly, net of income tax, and are included in AOCL. Over the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify approximately $1.5 million into interest expense, which represents the original value of the expiring caplets.

The effects of our interest rate caps on our condensed consolidated statements of earnings were not material for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021.
