Note 19. Derivative Instruments

 

The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to manage exposure to interest rate risks. The Company does not use interest rate swap agreements for speculative or trading purposes. The gain or loss on the interest rate swaps that qualify as derivatives is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently recognized as Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations when the hedged exposure affects earnings. If the related debt or the interest rate swap is terminated prior to maturity, the fair value of the interest rate swap recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss may be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations based on an assessment of the agreements at the time of termination.

 

In March 2021, the Company entered into eight interest rate swap agreements (the “Swap Agreements”) with several financial institutions for a combined notional value of $560 million. The effect of the Swap Agreements is to convert a portion of the Company’s variable interest rate obligations based on three-month LIBOR with a minimum rate of 0.50% per annum to a base fixed weighted average rate of 0.9289% over terms ranging from three to five years. The Swap Agreements are adjusted to fair value on a quarterly basis. Contract gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and amounts reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings were not material for any of the periods presented. Amounts expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months were not material as of December 31, 2021.
