As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, accrued insurance included employee medical insurance costs of $16.4 million and $18.6 million, respectively, and accruals for losses under workers' compensation, comprehensive general liability and vehicle liability self-insurance programs of $74.9 million and $82.8 million, respectively. The increase in accrued income, real estate, sales and other taxes is due to the timing and amount of estimated payments of foreign income tax liabilities. The change in the

fair value of the interest rate swap liability from December 31, 2021 is mainly due to the passage of time and changes in future interest rate expectations. As of December 31, 2022, the interest rate swap derivatives are in an asset position and therefore, are included within Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
