Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Cash Flow Hedge

Our interest rate swap contract with an initial notional amount of $150.0 million matured on April 30, 2024. We entered into the contract to manage the variability of cash flows associated with approximately one-half of our variable rate debt. The contract required periodic interest rate settlements, and we received a floating rate based on the greater of 1-month SOFR or 0.00% and paid a fixed rate of 1.855% on the outstanding notional amount.

The interest rate swap was designated as a cash flow hedge and the effectiveness of the hedge was assessed both at the onset of the hedge and at regular intervals throughout the life of the derivative. As the interest rate swap was highly effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, changes in the fair value of the derivative were included as a component of other comprehensive loss on our condensed consolidated balance sheets through the first quarter of fiscal year 2024.

On March 1, 2024, we repaid our variable rate debt in full and concurrently reclassified an unrealized gain of $0.6 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations upon the maturity of the interest rate swap. As of November 30, 2023, the fair value of the hedge was a gain of $1.5 million, and was included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. The net amount of accumulated other comprehensive loss reclassified to interest expense during fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022 resulted in income of $1.5 million and $3.6 million, and expense of $0.7 million, respectively.

The fair value of the derivative represented the discounted value of the expected future discounted cash flows for the interest rate swap, based on the payment schedule and the current forward curve for the remaining term of the contract, as of the date of each reporting period:

Forward Contracts

We generally use forward contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments to hedge economically the impact of the variability in exchange rates on intercompany accounts receivable and loans receivable denominated in certain foreign currencies. We generally do not hedge the net assets of our international subsidiaries.

All forward contracts are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets at the end of each reporting period and expire between 30 days and 3 years from the date the contract was entered. At November 30, 2024, $0.2 million and $0.8 million was recorded in other current assets and other noncurrent liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, respectively. At November 30, 2023, $2.5 million was recorded in other accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

In fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022, net realized and unrealized losses of $1.5 million, gains of $2.3 million and losses of $7.7 million respectively, from our forward contracts were recognized in foreign currency loss, net on the consolidated statements of operations.
