3. Derivative Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risk managed by the use of derivative instruments is foreign currency exchange risk. The Company holds forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are not designated as any type of accounting hedge as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company uses these contracts to manage its exposure to exchange rate fluctuations on certain Company subsidiary cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other obligation balances that are denominated in currencies other than the entities’ functional currencies. The forward foreign exchange contracts are recognized on the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from recording the foreign exchange contracts at fair value are reported in earnings as offsets to the losses and gains reported in earnings arising from the re-measurement of the receivable and payable balances into the applicable functional currencies. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had open forward foreign currency exchange contracts, all with durations of one to five months, to buy or sell foreign currencies with a U.S. dollar equivalent of $106,561,000 and $56,746,000, respectively.

The Company is currently exposed to volatility in short-term interest rates and has mitigated certain portions of that risk by using an interest rate swap. The interest rate swap is recognized on the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at fair value. At December 31, 2023, the Company held an interest rate swap contract with a notional value of $100,000,000 that was designated as a cash flow hedge. Period-to-period changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are initially recognized as gains or losses in other comprehensive income. As the interest rate swap contract is settled, the corresponding gain or loss is reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) into earnings. The maturity date of the current interest swap contract is March 10, 2027 which is closely aligned with the June 24, 2027 maturity of the Company’s revolving credit facility.

The fair values of the derivative instruments held by the Company on December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, are disclosed in Note 2, Fair Value Measurements, of the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements (included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K). Derivative instrument gains and losses for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, were immaterial. For amounts reclassified out of AOCI into earnings for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, see Note 19, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), of the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements (included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K).
