Derivative Financial Instruments [Abstract] | |
Derivative Financial Instruments | Note 15. Derivative Financial Instruments We currently use a derivative financial instrument to manage risks associated with changes in interest rates by hedging the interest payments on a portion of our variable rate debt through the use of interest rate swap contracts. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In designating derivative financial instruments as hedging instruments under accounting standards for derivative instruments, we formally document the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for the use of the hedging instrument. This documentation includes linking the derivatives to forecasted transactions. We assess at the time a derivative contract is entered into, and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivative item is effective in offsetting the projected cash flows of the associated forecasted transaction. Our interest rate swap contracts are classified as cash flow hedges, and, as such, are recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position on an individual basis as either an asset or liability at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in AOCI. Cash flows related to the interest rate swap contracts are classified as operating activities in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The effective portion of the gain or loss on our interest rate swap contracts are recorded in AOCI. These amounts are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted debt interest settlement affects earnings. See Note 14 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the effective portion of the gain or loss on derivative instruments recorded in AOCI and for the amounts reclassified out of AOCI and into earnings during the periods presented. As the underlying forecasted transactions occur during the next 12 months, we estimate the unrealized hedging loss in AOCI expected to be recognized in earnings is $3 million, net of tax, as of June 30, 2025. The amounts ultimately reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months will be determined based on the actual interest rates in effect at the time the positions are settled, and as a result, they could differ materially from our estimate noted above. |
