Foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at January 31, 2020 are used to exchange Pounds Sterling ("GBP") for Euro. The total notional value of these contracts at January 31, 2020 is 25,000 GBP ($32,824), and these contracts have various maturity dates through June 2020.

The Company entered into interest rate swaps to convert a portion of the Company's long-term debt from floating rate to fixed rate debt. As of January 31, 2020, the outstanding swaps had notional contract values of $756,600, partially hedging the interest rate risk related to the Company's U.S. dollar term loan tranche that matures in February 2026.
