Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We are exposed to market risks, including the effect of changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Under current policies, we may use derivatives to manage our exposure to variable interest rates on our debt and changing foreign exchange rates for certain foreign currency denominated transactions. We do not hold or issue derivatives for trading purposes.

Derivative Instruments Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

In February 2023, we entered into interest rate swap agreements to mitigate the risk of changing interest rates on our variable interest rate payments related to borrowings under our Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement. The agreements included a total $300 million notional amount that matured in February 2026. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps were recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified to Interest expense when the hedged interest payments affected earnings. The activity related to the interest rate swaps was classified in operating activities in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as the activity related to normal recurring settlements to match interest payments. As of March 31, 2026, there are no derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges outstanding.

All of our interest rate swap contracts were executed with counterparties that we believe are creditworthy, and we closely monitor the credit ratings of these counterparties.
As of December 31, 2025, the notional amounts, balance sheet classification and fair values of our derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges were as follows (in millions):

The activity related to our cash flow hedges is included in Note 9, "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)." As of March 31, 2026, we estimate that $1 million of derivative losses (net of tax) included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income within the next 12 months.
