DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING

In February 2020, the Company settled its $400.0 million U.S. Dollar to Euro cross currency swap contract entered into in May 2019 to hedge the Company's net investment in its European operations. At the time of the settlement, an unrealized gain of $11.8 million, net of tax, was recognized in AOCI.

In February 2020, the Company entered into two U.S Dollar to Euro cross currency swap contracts to hedge the Company's net investment in its European operations. The contracts have a notional value of $500.0 million and $244.0 million, respectively, and mature on June 1, 2024 and November 15, 2021, respectively. During the term of the $500.0 million contract, the Company will pay fixed-rate interest in Euros and receive fixed-rate interest in U.S. Dollars, thereby effectively converting a portion of the Company's U.S. Dollar denominated fixed-rate debt to Euro denominated fixed-rate debt. During the term of the $244.0 million contract, the Company will pay floating-rate interest in Euros and receive floating-rate interest in U.S. Dollars. The fair value of the contracts are included in Other assets and Other liabilities on the balance sheet. See Note 13. The changes in fair value are recognized in the foreign currency translation adjustments component of AOCI. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, a net unrealized loss of $1.5 million, net of tax, was recognized in AOCI.
