Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments

Net Investment Hedges

In September 2022 and November 2024, we entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps, which effectively convert a portion of our U.S. dollar-denominated fixed-rate debt to foreign currency-denominated fixed-rate debt in order to hedge the currency exposure associated with our net investment in foreign subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had cross-currency interest rate swaps outstanding with notional amounts of $2.2 billion and maturity dates ranging through 2029.

The effect of these net investment hedges on accumulated other comprehensive loss and the condensed consolidated income statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was as follows (in thousands):

Cash Flow Hedges  

Amounts reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to interest rate swaps are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our debt. As of June 30, 2026, we estimate that an additional $0.1 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense during the twelve months ended June 30, 2027, when the hedged forecasted transactions impact earnings.
