Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
Our purpose for using interest rate derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we used interest rate swaps to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and we currently do not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges. As of June 30, 2026, we have not posted any collateral related to these agreements.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had the following interest rate swap derivatives (notional amounts in millions):
Effective DateNotional AmountFixed RateMaturity Date
December 31, 2025300.0 3.06 %December 14, 2028
December 31, 2025100.0 2.93 %December 14, 2028
As of June 30, 2026, our two active interest rate swaps serve to hedge $400.0 million of the variable cash flows on our variable rate Term Loan through December 14, 2028. The assets associated with these interest rate swaps are included in other current assets and other non-current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value amounts as described in Note 9, Fair Value Measurements.
Three of our amended interest rate swaps that had original maturity dates of April 15, 2030 and December 15, 2028 matured on December 31, 2025. The unrealized gains included in accumulated other comprehensive income associated with the July 2022 amendment of these interest rate swaps will be amortized as a decrease to interest expense, net through their original maturity dates. Accordingly, for each of the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we amortized $1.8 million, respectively, and for each of the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we amortized $3.5 million, respectively, of the remaining unrealized gains as a decrease to interest expense, net.
Additionally, due to the off-market terms at inception of these matured interest rate swaps, we amortized $1.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively, of the other-than-insignificant financing element during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 as an increase to interest expense, net. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we amortized $0.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of the remaining unrealized losses associated with the August 2020 terminated swaps as an increase to interest expense, net. All unrealized losses were fully amortized as of April 15, 2025, and the other-than-insignificant financing element was fully amortized as of December 31, 2025.
The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated, and that qualify, as cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and in accumulated other comprehensive income on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. We had no such changes during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense, net as interest payments are made on our variable-rate debt, and as our unrealized gains from swap amendments are amortized. Over the next twelve months, we estimate that an additional $10.6 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense, net.
The following table summarizes amounts recorded to interest expense, net included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income related to our interest rate swaps (in millions):
