NOTE H. DERIVATIVES

The Company is subject to interest rate risk related to the Senior Secured Credit Facility and entered into interest rate swaps to manage a portion of this exposure. The interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges that qualified for hedge accounting under the hypothetical derivative method and effectively hedged $500 million of the variable rate debt associated with the Term Loan at the Term SOFR weighted average fixed rate of 2.81% through September 2025.

Fair value adjustments associated with the interest rate swaps were recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax (“AOCL”) in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Balances in AOCL were reclassified to earnings when transactions related to the underlying risk were settled.

In September 2025, all of the Company's interest rate swap contracts reached maturity and were terminated. See "Note F. Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for information regarding the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps. The following tabular disclosures further describe the Company’s interest rate swap derivatives qualifying and designated for hedge accounting and their impact on the financial condition of the Company (dollars in millions):
