DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
We designate commodity contracts, equity forward contracts and foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedging instruments. Our interest rate swap agreements are designated as fair value hedges of the related debt. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we entered into a contract designated as a cash flow hedge of the benchmark interest rate on the debt expected to be
issued during the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Upon issuance of the debt, we settled this contract which resulted in a $1.9 million loss recorded as a component of interest expense due to the immateriality of the loss. Further, we entered into equity forward contracts to hedge the risk of changes in future cash flows associated with recognized, employee-directed investments in our common stock within the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. We did not elect hedge accounting with the expectation that changes in the fair value of the equity forward contracts would offset changes in the fair value of our common stock investments in the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Refer to Note 1 for further details on the derivative instruments and hedging activities accounting policy.
The notional and fair values of our derivative contracts are as follows:

Based on the fair value of our derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges as of May 25, 2025, we expect to reclassify $3.1 million of net gains on derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings during the next 12 months based on the maturity of equity forward, commodity, and interest rate contracts. However, the amounts ultimately realized in earnings will be dependent on the fair value of the contracts on the settlement dates.
