Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

The Company’s ongoing business operations expose it to various risks, including fluctuating foreign exchange rates and interest rate risk. To manage these risks, the Company periodically enters into derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swap agreements. The Company does not hold or enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts

A significant portion of the Company’s revenues and earnings are generated by its foreign operations. These foreign operations also represent a significant portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Generally, all of these foreign operations use the local currency as their functional currency and many have some operations in currencies other than their functional currency, which creates foreign exchange risk. The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to economically hedge the impact of the variability in exchange rates on certain assets and/or liabilities denominated in certain foreign currencies. These forward contracts are marked-to-market at each reporting date. Changes in the fair value of the underlying instrument and settlements are recognized in earnings. The fair value of the forward contract is determined from sources independent of the Company, including the financial institutions which are party to the derivative instruments.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company entered into and settled forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount totaling $16.0 million, resulting in cash proceeds of $0.3 million. The following table displays the notional amounts of the net foreign exchange hedge positions outstanding:

Interest Rate Swaps

In order to manage the Company’s exposure to variable interest rate risk associated with the Credit Facility, in the first quarter of 2023, the Company entered into $300.0 million notional amounts of three year interest rate swaps to convert a portion of the Company’s variable rate borrowings into a fixed rate obligation. See Note 14 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and, as such, the contracts are marked-to-market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in AOCI to the extent effective and reclassified to interest expense in the period during which the transaction affects earnings or it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur. Interest rate swaps are entered into with a limited number of counterparties, each of which allows for net settlement of all contracts through a single payment in a single currency in the event of a default on or termination of any one contract. As such, in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, these derivative instruments are recorded on a net basis within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The balance sheet classification and fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments, which are Level 2 measurements, are as follows:
