The CDS relate to borrowings provided by these financial institutions to a customer in Mexico who utilized these borrowings to pay certain of the Company's outstanding receivables. The total notional amount remaining on the issued CDS was $159 million and $287 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, which will reduce each month through September 2026 as the customer repays the borrowings. As of March 31, 2026, the fair value of these derivative liabilities is not material.
FORMS OF HEDGING
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company uses cash flow hedging primarily to mitigate the effects of foreign exchange rate changes on purchase and sale contracts. Accordingly, the vast majority of derivative activity in this category consists of currency exchange contracts. In addition, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk fluctuations in connection with long-term debt that it issues from time to time to fund its operations. Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recorded in a separate component of equity (referred to as "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" or "AOCI") and are recorded in earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction occurs. See "Note 10. Equity" for further information on activity in AOCI for cash flow hedges.
In March 2026, the interest rate swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges with a notional amount of $2.5 billion hedging a portion of the Company's expected exposure in connection with future debt financing activities related to the acquisition of Chart, were terminated with the completion of the debt financing. A loss of $91 million was recorded in AOCI, of which, $12 million will amortize to earnings over a 10-year period and $79 million will amortize to earnings over a 30-year period. As of March 31, 2026, there are no active cash flow hedges.
Fair Value Hedges
All of the Company's long-term debt is comprised of fixed rate instruments. The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its debt portfolio and may use interest rate swaps to manage the economic effect of fixed rate obligations associated with certain debt. Under these arrangements, the Company agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $500 million that converted a portion of its $1,350 million aggregate principal amount of 3.337% fixed rate Senior Notes due 2027 into a floating rate instrument with an interest rate based on a Secured Overnight Financing Rate index. The Company concluded that the interest rate swap met the criteria necessary to qualify for hedge accounting, and as such, the changes in this fair value hedge are recorded as gains or losses in interest expense and are equally offset by the gains or losses of the underlying debt instrument, which are also recorded in interest expense.
Net Investment Hedges
The Company utilizes net investment hedges to manage foreign currency translation risk associated with its net investment in foreign operations. For qualifying net investment hedges, changes in fair value are recorded in AOCI and offset translation adjustments related to the hedged net investment. The fair value will remain in AOCI until the hedged foreign net investment operation is materially disposed of, at which time the AOCI will be recorded to earnings.
The Company evaluates hedge effectiveness on a qualitative basis, any portion of the hedges deemed ineffective will be recorded in earnings in the period recognized. As of March 31, 2026, the Company designated €3.0 billion (approximately $3.4 billion, equivalent) of its recently issued notes as a non-derivative net investment hedge. The fair value recorded in AOCI related to this non-derivative hedge was a $37 million gain.
NOTIONAL AMOUNT OF DERIVATIVES
The notional amount of a derivative is used to determine, along with the other terms of the derivative, the amounts to be exchanged between the counterparties. The Company discloses the derivative notional amounts on a gross basis to indicate the total counterparty risk but it does not generally represent amounts exchanged by the Company and the counterparties. A substantial majority of the outstanding notional amount of $3.5 billion and $7.1 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, is related to hedges of anticipated sales and purchases in foreign currency, commodity purchases, changes in interest rates, and contractual terms in contracts that are considered embedded derivatives and for intercompany borrowings in foreign currencies.
COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK
Fair values of the Company's derivatives can change significantly from period to period based on, among other factors, market movements and changes in the Company's positions. The Company manages counterparty credit risk (the risk that counterparties will default and not make payments according to the terms of the agreements) on an individual counterparty basis.
