11.    DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, and foreign exchange risk primarily through the use of derivative financial instruments.

The Company enters into foreign currency contracts with 30-day maturities to hedge its short-term balance sheet exposure, primarily intercompany, that are denominated in currencies (Euro, Mexican Peso, New Zealand Dollar, Chinese Renminbi, Swedish Krona, Canadian Dollar) other than the subsidiary’s functional currency and are adjusted to current values using period-end exchange rates. The resulting gains or losses are recorded in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive (loss) income. To minimize foreign currency exposure, the Company had foreign currency contracts with notional amounts of $21,962 and $22,193 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The foreign currency contracts are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value and resulting gains or losses are recorded in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023,

the Company had a loss of $120 and a gain of $11, respectively, on foreign currency contracts which is included in other expense, net and generally offset the gains or losses from the foreign currency adjustments on the intercompany balances that are also included in other expense, net.

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements on its variable-rate debt. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. In March 2020, the Company entered into two interest rate swaps with a combined notional amount of $20,000 that increased to $60,000 in March 2022 and matures in December 2024. In March 2022 the Company entered into an additional interest rate swap with a notional amount of $40,000 that matures in December 2026. In March 2023, the Company executed amendments to the existing swaps to amend the index on the interest rate derivatives from LIBOR to SOFR. These amendments had no material financial impact to the Company’s operations or financial position.

The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During 2024 and 2023, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company estimates that $3,098 will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense over the next twelve months related to its interest rate derivatives. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
