Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
We record all derivatives at fair value. Our objective in utilizing interest rate derivatives is to add stability to our interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in our exchange for making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
The changes in the fair value of the designated derivative that qualify as a cash flow hedge are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and subsequently reclassified into earnings on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.
Our previous swap, entered into in 2014, matured during 2017. In connection with our Term Loan, we entered into the 2017 Swap (see Note 9. Borrowing Arrangements for further discussion on the Term Loan) allowing us to trade the variable interest rate on the Term Loan for a fixed interest rate. The 2017 Swap has a notional amount of $200.0 million of outstanding principal with an underlying LIBOR of 1.85% per annum for the first three years and matures on November 1, 2020. Based on the leverage as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, our spread over LIBOR was 1.20% resulting in an estimated all-in interest rate of 3.05% per annum.
Our derivative financial instrument is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the fair value of our derivative financial instrument:

During the next twelve months, we estimate that an additional $0.4 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense. This estimate may be subject to change as the underlying LIBOR changes. We determined that no adjustment was necessary for non-performance risk on our derivative obligation. As of December 31, 2019, we did not post any collateral related to this agreement.
