NOTE 7.           DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates impact our results of operations and cash flows. We may manage these risks through the use of derivative financial instruments, primarily forward contracts with banks. These forward contracts manage the exchange rate risk associated with assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies. Typically, we execute these derivative instruments for one-month periods and do not designate them as hedges for accounting purposes; however, they do partially offset the economic fluctuations of certain of our assets and liabilities due to foreign exchange rate changes. The gains and losses related to these foreign currency exchange contracts are intended to offset the corresponding gains and losses on the revaluation of the underlying assets and liabilities. Both are included as a component of other income (expense), net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

At December 31, 2024 we have $70.6 million foreign currency forward contracts outstanding. There were no foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at December 31, 2023.

We had interest rate swap contracts that fixed a portion of the interest payments on our Term Loan Facility. The interest rate swap contracts expired on September 10, 2024. In connection with the expiration, there are no longer any related balances for these contracts within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024. See Note 18. Long-Term Debt in Part II, Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

See Note 6. Fair Value Measurements for information regarding the fair value of derivative instruments.

As a result of using derivative financial instruments, we are exposed to the risk that counterparties to contracts could fail to meet their contractual obligations. We manage this credit risk by reviewing counterparty creditworthiness on a regular basis and limiting exposure to any single counterparty.
