Derivative Instruments and Hedges Derivative Instruments and Hedges
Our risk management and foreign currency derivatives and hedging policy specifies the conditions under which we may enter into derivative contracts. See Notes 1 and 9 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2021 Annual Report and Note 7 of this Quarterly Report for additional information on our derivatives. We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge our cash flow risks associated with transactions denominated in currencies other than the local currency of the operation engaging in the transaction. We have not elected hedge accounting for our foreign exchange forward contracts and the changes in the fair values are recognized immediately in our condensed consolidated statements of income.
Foreign exchange forward contracts with third parties had a notional value of $399.6 million and $425.2 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. At September 30, 2022, the length of foreign exchange forward contracts currently in place ranged from 5 days to 29 months.
We are exposed to risk from credit-related losses resulting from nonperformance by counterparties to our financial instruments. We perform credit evaluations of our counterparties under foreign exchange forward contracts agreements and expect all counterparties to meet their obligations. We have not experienced credit losses from our counterparties.
The fair values of foreign exchange forward contracts are summarized below:

Current derivative assets$5,016 $740 
Noncurrent derivative assets— 2 
Current derivative liabilities7,051 2,924 
Noncurrent derivative liabilities315 82 
Current and noncurrent derivative assets are reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets in prepaid expenses and other and other assets, net, respectively. Current and noncurrent derivative liabilities are reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets in accrued liabilities and retirement obligations and other liabilities, respectively.
The impact of net changes in the fair values of foreign exchange forward contracts are summarized below:

Gains and losses recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of income for foreign exchange forward contracts are classified as other income (expense), net.
As a means of managing the volatility of foreign currency exposure with the Euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate, we enter into cross-currency swap agreements as a hedge of our Euro investment in certain of our international subsidiaries. Accordingly, on April 14, 2021 and March 9, 2021, we entered into cross currency swap agreements, with both having termination dates of October 1, 2030 and the March 9, 2021 cross currency swap having an early termination date of March 11, 2025. Also, during the third quarter of 2020 we entered into a cross currency swap agreement with a termination date of October 1, 2030 and an early termination date of September 22, 2025. The swap agreements are designated as net investment hedges and as of September 30, 2022 the combined notional value of these swaps was €423.2 million. The swaps are classified as Level II under the fair value hierarchy.
The fair values of our cross-currency swaps are summarized below:
September 30,December 31,
(Amounts in thousands)20222021
Other assets, net$96,798 $23,129 
We exclude the interest accruals on the swaps from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and recognize the interest accruals in earnings within interest expense. For each reporting period, the change in the fair value of the swaps attributable to changes in the spot rate and differences between the change in the fair value of the excluded components and the amounts recognized in earnings under the swap accrual process are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") on our consolidated balance sheet. For the three and nine months ending September 30, 2022, an interest accrual of $2.3 million and $6.4 million, respectively, was recognized within interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income. For the three and nine months ending September 30, 2021, an interest accrual of $1.9 million and $4.3 million, respectively, was recognized within interest expense.
The cumulative net investment hedge (gains) losses, net of deferred taxes, under cross-currency swaps recorded in AOCL on our condensed consolidated balance sheet are summarized below:

In March 2015, we designated €255.7 million of our 1.25% EUR 2022 Senior Notes ("2022 Euro Senior Notes") as a net investment hedge of our Euro investment in certain of our international subsidiaries. On September 22, 2020, we increased the designated hedged value on the 2022 Euro Senior Notes to €336.3 million, which reflected the remaining balance of the 2022 Euro Senior Notes. For each reporting period, the change in the carrying value due to the remeasurement of the effective portion was reported in AOCL on our condensed consolidated balance sheet and the remaining change in the carrying value of the ineffective portion, if any, was recognized in other income (expense), net in our condensed consolidated statements of income. As a result of the redemption of our 2022 Euro Senior Notes in the first quarter of 2021, we dedesignated the hedged value of our net investment hedge.
Prior to the dedesignation, the cumulative impact recorded in AOCL on our condensed consolidated balance sheet from the change in carrying value due to the remeasurement of the effective portion of the net investment hedge is summarized below:

We use the spot method to measure the effectiveness of our net investment hedges and evaluate the effectiveness on a prospective basis at the beginning of each quarter. We did not record any ineffectiveness during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
