The Company is exposed to certain market risks during the normal course of its business arising from adverse changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company selectively uses derivative financial instruments (“derivatives”), including cross-currency interest rate swap and foreign currency forward contracts, and interest rate swap and cap contracts, to manage the risks from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, respectively. The Company does not purchase or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates can be volatile, and the Company’s risk management activities do not totally eliminate these risks. Consequently, these fluctuations could have a significant effect on the Company’s financial results.

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk results primarily from its variable-rate borrowings. The Company manages its debt centrally, considering tax consequences and its overall financing strategies. The Company manages its exposure to interest rate risk by using interest rate caps and pay-fixed interest rate swaps from time to time as cash flow hedges of variable rate debt in order to adjust the relative fixed and variable proportions.

A substantial portion of the Company’s operations is conducted by its subsidiaries outside of the United States in currencies other than the USD. Almost all of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries conduct their business primarily in their local currencies, which are also their functional currencies. Other than the USD, the EUR, GBP, and Chinese Renminbi are the principal currencies in which the Company and its subsidiaries enter into transactions. The Company is exposed to the impacts of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the translation of its non-U.S. subsidiaries’ assets, liabilities and earnings into USD. The Company manages this exposure by having certain U.S. subsidiaries borrow in currencies other than the USD or utilizing cross-currency interest rate swaps as net investment hedges.

The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to the risk that arises when they, from time to time, enter into transactions in currencies other than their functional currency. To mitigate this risk, the Company and its subsidiaries typically settle intercompany trading balances at least quarterly. The Company also selectively uses forward currency contracts to manage this risk. These contracts for the sale or purchase of non-functional currencies generally mature within one year.

The following table summarizes the notional amounts, fair values and classification of the Company’s outstanding derivatives by risk category and instrument type within the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

(1)Notional amounts represent the gross contract amounts of the outstanding derivatives excluding the total notional amount of positions that have been effectively closed through offsetting positions. The net gains and net losses associated with positions that have been effectively closed through offsetting positions but not yet settled are included in the asset and liability derivatives fair value columns, respectively.

Payments of interest rate cap premiums are classified as financing cash flows in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. All other cash flows related to derivatives are classified as operating cash flows in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company was the fixed rate payor on two interest rate swap contracts that effectively fix the SOFR-based index used to determine the interest rates charged on a total of $528.5 million of the Company’s SOFR-based variable rate borrowings. These contracts carry a fixed rate of 3.2% and expire in 2025. These swap agreements qualify as hedging instruments and have been designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted SOFR-based interest payments. Based on SOFR-based swap yield curves as of December 31, 2022, the Company expects to reclassify gains of $8.9 million out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) into earnings during the next 12 months.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company entered into three interest rate cap contracts that effectively limit the SOFR-based index used to determine the interest rates charged on a total of $1,000.0 million of the Company’s SOFR-based variable rate borrowings to 4.0% and expire in 2025. These swap agreements qualify as hedging instruments and have been designated as

Gains (losses) on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges included in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 are presented in the table below.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company was the fixed rate payor on two cross-currency interest rate swap contracts that replace a fixed rate of 3.2% on a total of $528.5 million with a fixed rate of 1.6% on a total of €500.0 million. These contracts expire in 2025. These contracts have been designated as net investment hedges of our Euro denominated subsidiaries and require an exchange of the notional amounts at maturity.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company entered into three cross-currency interest rate swap contracts where we receive SOFR on a total of $525.7 million and pay EURIBOR on a total of €500.0 million. These contracts expire in 2025. These contracts have been designated as net investment hedges of our Euro denominated subsidiaries and require an exchange of the notional amounts at maturity.

Gains on derivatives designated as net investment hedges included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 are presented in the table below.

The Company had three foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2022 with notional amounts ranging from $5.4 million to $10.3 million. These contracts are used to hedge the change in fair value of recognized foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities caused by changes in currency exchange rates. The changes in the fair value of these contracts generally offset the changes in the fair value of a corresponding amount of the hedged items, both of which are included within “Other operating expense, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are subject to master netting arrangements or agreements between the Company and each counterparty for the net settlement of all contracts through a single payment in a single currency in the event of default on or termination of any one contract with that certain counterparty. It is the Company’s practice to recognize the gross amounts in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount available to be netted is not material.

The Company’s gains (losses) on derivative instruments not designated as accounting hedges and total net foreign currency transaction gains (losses) for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were as follows.

In February 2020, the Company designated its Euro Term Loan, which had a principal balance at that time of €601.2 million, as a hedge of the Company's net investment in subsidiaries with a functional currency of euro. This loan was repaid in June 2022 and the hedge has been discontinued. See Note 11 “Debt” for further discussion of the repayment of the Euro Term Loan.

Credit risk related to derivatives arises when amounts receivable from a counterparty exceed those payable. Because the notional amount of the derivative instruments only serves as a basis for calculating amounts receivable or payable, the risk of loss with any counterparty is limited to a fraction of the notional amount. The Company minimizes the credit risk related to derivatives by transacting only with multiple, high-quality counterparties that are major financial institutions with investment-grade credit ratings. The Company has not experienced any financial loss as a result of counterparty nonperformance in the past. The majority of the derivative contracts to which the Company is a party, settle monthly or quarterly, or mature within one year. Because of these factors, the Company believes it has minimal credit risk related to derivative contracts as of December 31, 2022.

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the wide variety of customers and industries to which the Company’s products and services are sold, as well as their dispersion across many different geographic areas. As a result, the Company does not believe it has any significant concentrations of credit risk as of December 31, 2022 or 2021.
