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.
In March 2021, we entered into a Swap Agreement (the “2021 Swap”) with a notional amount of $300.0 million allowing us to trade the variable interest rate associated with our $300.0 million Term Loan for a fixed interest rate. In March 2023, we amended the 2021 Swap agreement to reflect the change in the $300.0 million Term Loan interest rate benchmark from LIBOR to SOFR (see Note 9. Borrowing Arrangements). The 2021 Swap has a fixed interest rate of 0.41% per annum and matures on March 25, 2024. Based on the leverage as of December 31, 2023, our spread over SOFR was 1.40% resulting in an estimated all-in interest rate of 1.81% per annum.
In April 2023, we entered into a Swap Agreement (the “2023 Swap”) with a notional amount of $200.0 million allowing us to trade the variable interest rate associated with our $200.0 million Term Loan for a fixed interest rate. The 2023 Swap has a fixed interest rate of 3.68% per annum and matures on January 21, 2027. Based on the leverage as of December 31, 2023, our spread over SOFR was 1.20% resulting in an estimated all-in interest rate of 4.88% per annum.
Our derivative financial instruments are 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 $5.6 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense. This estimate may be subject to change as the underlying SOFR changes. We determined that no adjustment was necessary for non-performance risk on our derivative obligations. As of December 31, 2023, we had not posted any collateral related to the Swaps.
