Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company is exposed to certain interest rate risks on our outstanding debt and foreign currency risks arising from our international business operations and global economic conditions. The Company enters into certain derivative financial instruments to lock in certain interest rates, as well as to protect the value or fix the amount of certain obligations in terms of its functional currency, the U.S. dollar.

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in various foreign currencies against its functional currency, the U.S. dollar. We use foreign currency derivatives, specifically foreign currency forward contracts (“FX Forwards”), to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the USD-CAD and USD-AUD exchange rates. FX Forwards involve fixing the foreign currency exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. The FX Forwards are typically settled in U.S. dollars for their fair value at or close to their settlement date. We do not currently designate any of these FX Forwards under hedge accounting, but rather reflect the changes in fair value immediately in earnings. We do not use such instruments for speculative or trading purposes, but rather use them to manage our exposure to foreign exchange rates. Changes in the fair value of FX Forwards were recorded in other income/expense and were equal to net gains of $0.1 million and net losses of $0.1 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The fair values of the Company’s FX Forwards were recorded as a net asset of $0.0 million and $0.3 million in Other Current Assets as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had the following outstanding FX Forwards (in thousands except for number of instruments):
