Derivative Instruments

The Company enters into cash flow hedges from time to time to reduce the exposure to variability in certain expected future cash flows. The types of cash flow hedges the Company enters into include foreign currency exchange contracts designed to minimize the earnings impact on certain intercompany loans as well as interest rate exchange agreements designed to reduce the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense that effectively convert a portion of floating-rate debt to fixed-rate debt.

The effective portion of gains or losses on interest rate exchange agreements is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity and reclassified into net income in the same period or periods in which the hedged transaction affects net income. The remaining gain or loss in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows or the hedged item, if any, is recognized in net income during the period of change. See Note 16 for the amount of loss reclassified into net income for interest rate contracts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. As of June 30, 2021, the Company did not have any interest rate contracts outstanding.

In 2010 and 2011, the Company entered into two separate forward starting interest rate exchange agreements in anticipation of the issuance of the 4.5% Senior Notes and the 4.2% Senior Notes. The Company cash settled these two interest

rate contracts in 2010 and 2011 for a total of $68.9 million, which was being amortized into interest expense over the 10 year terms of the respective debt instruments. In conjunction with the early redemption of the 4.5% Senior Notes on May 27, 2020, the Company accelerated the recognition of the remaining $1.4 million of the pre-tax amount included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity related to the 4.5% Senior Notes and recorded such as Other (income) expense - net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. In conjunction with the early redemption of the 4.2% Senior Notes on June 16, 2021, the Company accelerated the recognition of the remaining $1.3 million of the pre-tax amount included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity related to the 4.2% Senior Notes and recorded such as Other (income) expense - net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, there was no balance in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to the cumulative unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives.
