The Company uses cash flow hedges to minimize the variability in cash flows of assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The changes in the fair values of these cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are subsequently reclassified into “Cost of goods sold” during the period the sales and purchases are recognized. These amounts offset the effect of the changes in foreign currency rates on the related sale and purchase transactions.

The Company designates certain foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges of expected future sales and purchases. The total notional value of derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges was approximately $494.5 million and $262.2 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The Company designates certain steel commodity contracts as cash flow hedges of expected future purchases of steel. The total notional value of derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges was approximately $1.6 million and $2.5 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The Company entered into treasury rate locks in early March 2024 to fix the interest rate for the 2034 Notes issued on March 21, 2024. The derivative position settled on March 28, 2024 with a cash settlement that offset changes in the benchmark treasury rate between the execution of the treasury rate lock and the debt pricing date for the 2034 Notes. This treasury rate lock was designated as a cash flow hedge and the gain at termination of $8.2 million was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The amount recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss is reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the 2034 Notes through the maturity date.

The following tables summarize the after-tax impact that changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges had on accumulated other comprehensive loss and net income during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in millions):

The following table summarizes the activity in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the derivatives held by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2024 (in millions):


	Before-Tax Amount		Income Tax Expense (Benefit)		After-Tax Amount
Accumulated derivative net losses as of December 31, 2023	$	(1.3)	$	(0.5)	$	(0.8)
Net changes in fair value of derivatives	6.8		2.2		4.6
Net losses reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into income	2.6		0.3		2.3
Accumulated derivative net gains as of March 31, 2024	$	8.1	$	2.0	$	6.1

As of March 31, 2024, approximately $0.6 million and $0.1 million of derivative realized net losses, before taxes, remain in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to foreign currency contracts and commodity contracts, respectively, associated with inventory that had not yet been sold.

The Company uses non-derivative and derivative instruments to hedge a portion of its net investment in foreign operations against adverse movements in exchange rates. For instruments that are designated as hedges of net investments in foreign operations, changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are recorded in foreign currency translation adjustments, a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, to offset changes in the value of the net investments being hedged. When the net investment in foreign operations is sold or substantially liquidates, the amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss are reclassified to earnings. To the extent foreign currency denominated debt is de-designated from a net investment hedge relationship, changes in the value of the foreign currency denominated debt are recorded in earnings through the maturity date.

On January 29, 2021, the Company entered into a cross currency swap contract as a hedge of its net investment in foreign operations to offset foreign currency translation gains or losses on the net investment. The cross currency swap has an expiration date of January 29, 2028. At maturity of the cross currency swap contract, the Company will deliver the notional amount of approximately €247.9 million (or approximately $267.4 million as of March 31, 2024) and will receive $300.0 million from the counterparties. The Company will receive quarterly interest payments from the counterparties based on a fixed interest rate until the maturity of the cross currency swap.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company designated €150.0 million of its multi-currency revolving credit facility maturing December 2027 as a hedge of its net investment in foreign operations to offset foreign currency translation gains or losses on the net investment. This portion of the multi-currency revolving credit facility was repaid in December 2023. The Company recognized the change in fair value of the foreign currency denominated debt designated as a net investment hedge, a gain of $0.9 million, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive loss during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The following table summarizes the changes in the fair value of the cross currency swap contract designated as a net investment hedge during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in millions):


	Cross currency swap contract
	Gain (Loss) Recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss for the Three Months Ended
	Before-Tax Amount		Income Tax Expense (Benefit)		After-Tax Amount
March 31, 2024	$	4.7	$	1.2	$	3.5

The Company enters into foreign currency contracts to economically hedge a portion of its receivables and payables on the Company and its subsidiaries’ balance sheets that are denominated in foreign currencies other than the functional currency. These contracts are classified as non-designated derivative instruments. Gains and losses on such contracts are substantially offset by losses and gains on the remeasurement of the underlying asset or liability being hedged and are immediately recognized into earnings. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding foreign currency contracts with a notional amount of approximately $2,545.2 million and $3,125.1 million, respectively.
