DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Summary of Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company enters into derivative contracts with external counterparties on a recurring basis to hedge certain foreign currency transactions. The notional amount of these outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts was $283.1 million at March 2025, $303.0 million at December 2024 and $340.8 million at March 2024, consisting primarily of contracts hedging exposures to the euro, Mexican peso, Canadian dollar, British pound, Polish zloty and Swedish krona. Foreign currency exchange contracts have maturities up to 20 months.
The Company periodically enters into "floating to fixed" interest rate swap agreements to mitigate exposure to volatility in reference rates on the Company's future interest payments on indebtedness. Because these swap agreements meet the criteria for hedge accounting, all related gains and losses are deferred within accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") and are amortized through the swap maturity dates.
During 2019, the Company entered into "floating to fixed" interest rate swap agreements that had a notional amount of $300.0 million at March 2024, which matured on April 18, 2024. On September 9, 2024, the Company entered into new "floating to fixed" interest rate swap agreements (the "2024 Swap Agreements") that mature on August 18, 2029. The notional amount of the 2024 Swap Agreements was $150.0 million at March 2025 and December 2024.
In April 2025, the Company entered into new "floating to fixed" interest rate swap agreements for a notional amount of $550.0 million that mature on March 18, 2027 and April 18, 2027.
The Company's outstanding derivative financial instruments entered into on a recurring basis met the criteria for hedge accounting at the inception of the hedging relationship. At each reporting period, the Company assesses whether the hedging relationships continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items. If the Company determines that a specific hedging relationship has ceased to be highly effective, it discontinues hedge accounting. All designated hedging relationships were determined to be highly effective as of March 2025.
On February 19, 2025, the Company entered into foreign currency exchange contracts totaling $1.275 billion CAD to hedge the purchase price of the Helly Hansen Acquisition. These contracts were not designated as hedges, and were recorded at fair value in the Company's balance sheets. Refer to Note 2 to the Company's financial statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information related to the Helly Hansen Acquisition.

Other Derivative Information
There were no significant amounts recognized in earnings for the ineffective portion of any hedging relationships during the three months ended March 2025 and March 2024.
At March 2025, AOCL included $5.1 million of pre-tax net deferred losses for foreign currency exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements that are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months. The amounts ultimately reclassified to earnings will depend on rates in effect when outstanding derivative contracts are settled.
