Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to certain market risks during the normal course of its business arising from adverse changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company selectively uses derivative financial instruments (“derivatives”), including cross-currency interest rate swap and foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swap and cap contracts, to manage the risks from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, respectively. The Company does not purchase or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
The Company manages its debt centrally, considering tax consequences and its overall financing strategies. The Company manages its exposure to interest rate risk by using interest rate derivatives as cash flow hedges of variable rate debt or fair value hedges of fixed rate debt in order to adjust the relative fixed and variable proportions. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk results primarily from its fixed rate to floating rate interest rate swap contracts.
A substantial portion of the Company’s operations is conducted by its subsidiaries outside of the United States in currencies other than the USD. Almost all of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries conduct their business primarily in their local currencies, which are also their functional currencies. The USD, the EUR, GBP, Chinese Renminbi and Indian rupee are the principal currencies in which the Company and its subsidiaries enter into transactions. The Company is exposed to the impacts of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the translation of its non-U.S. subsidiaries’ assets, liabilities and earnings into USD. The Company manages this exposure by having certain U.S. subsidiaries borrow in currencies other than the USD or utilizing cross-currency interest rate swaps as net investment hedges.
The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to the risk that arises when they, from time to time, enter into transactions in currencies other than their functional currency. To mitigate this risk, the Company and its subsidiaries typically settle intercompany trading balances at least quarterly. The Company also selectively uses forward currency contracts to manage this risk. These contracts for the sale or purchase of European and other currencies generally mature within one year.

(1)Notional amounts represent the gross contract amounts of the outstanding derivatives excluding the total notional amount of positions that have been effectively closed through offsetting positions. The net gains and net losses associated with positions that have been effectively closed through offsetting positions but not yet settled are included in the asset and liability derivatives fair value columns, respectively.
Payments to settle cross-currency swaps are classified as financing cash flows in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. All other cash flows related to derivatives are classified as operating cash flows in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
There were no off-balance sheet derivative instruments as of June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

These contracts expire in May 2029. These swap agreements qualify as hedging instruments and have been designated as fair value hedges of $400.0 million of the 2029 Notes, and were considered to be perfectly effective under the shortcut method.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company was the variable rate payor on two interest rate swap contracts that effectively convert a total of $250.0 million of the Company’s fixed rate borrowings to variable rate borrowings. These contracts expire in April 2031. These swap agreements qualify as hedging instruments and have been designated as fair value hedges of $250.0 million of the 2031 Notes, and were considered to be perfectly effective under the shortcut method.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company was the variable rate payor on two interest rate swap contracts that effectively convert a total of $250.0 million of the Company’s fixed rate borrowings to variable rate borrowings.

Interest Rate Swap and Cap Contracts Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
In April 2024, the Company entered into forward-starting interest rate swap agreements to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates from the trade date through the forecasted issuance date of debt. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company entered into and terminated cash flow hedges with notional value of $750.0 million in connection with the 2034 Notes and $500.0 million in connection with the 2054 Notes, both of which were issued on May 10, 2024. The Company and its counterparties terminated these contracts in May 2024. Prior to their termination, these swap agreements qualified as hedging instruments and were designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted interest payments. These forecasted interest payments are still expected to occur as specified in the Company’s hedge designations; therefore, the unrecognized loss at the time of termination will be reclassified into earnings over the term of the respective notes. The unrecognized loss in AOCI as of June 30, 2026 was $3.8 million, of which $0.3 million is expected to be reclassified into earnings as an increase to interest expense during the next 12 months.
Gains on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are as presented in the table below.

Foreign Currency Forwards Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
The Company had sixteen foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2026 with notional amounts ranging from $2.5 million to $59.5 million. These contracts are used to hedge the change in fair value of recognized foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities caused by changes in currency exchange rates. The changes in the fair value of these contracts generally offset the changes in the fair value of a corresponding amount of the hedged items, both of which are included within “Other operating expense (income), net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are subject to master netting arrangements or agreements between the Company and each counterparty for the net settlement of all contracts through a single payment in a single currency in the event of default on or termination of any one contract with that certain counterparty. It is the Company’s practice to recognize the gross amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount available to be netted is not material.
The Company’s gains (losses) on derivative instruments not designated as accounting hedges and total net foreign currency losses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows.
