Note 11 — Derivative Instruments

Foreign operations give rise to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign exchange contracts with established financial institutions are utilized to hedge a portion of that risk. Interest rate swap agreements are used to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on certain debt. For foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements that are designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of unrealized gains and losses is recorded in AOCL.

At August 31, 2026 exchange rates, notional amounts of foreign exchange contracts for the purchase of Polish Zlotys and the sale of Euros, the purchase and sale of U.S. Dollars and Euros, and the purchase and sale of Mexican Pesos and U.S. Dollars aggregated to $190.7 million. The fair value of the contracts is included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Accounts payable and accrued liabilities when in a loss position, or as Accounts receivable, net when in a gain position. As the contracts mature at various dates through November 2028, any such gain or loss remaining will be recognized in Manufacturing Revenue or Cost of revenue along with the related transactions. In the event that the underlying transaction does not occur or does not occur in the period designated at the inception of the hedge, the amount classified in AOCL would be reclassified to the results of operations in Interest and foreign exchange at the time of occurrence. At August 31, 2026 exchange rates, approximately $3.2 million would be reclassified to Manufacturing Revenue and Cost of revenue in the next year.

At August 31, 2026, interest rate swap agreements maturing from August 2027 through January 2032 had notional amounts that aggregated to $462.2 million. The fair value of the contracts is included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities when in a loss position, or in Accounts receivable, net when in a

gain position. As interest expense on the underlying debt is recognized, amounts corresponding to the interest rate swap are reclassified from AOCL and charged or credited to interest expense. At August 31, 2026 interest rates, approximately $6.2 million would be reclassified to Interest and foreign exchange in the next year.
