| Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Derivatives and Hedging | Derivatives and Hedging The Company's policy requires that derivatives are used solely for managing risks and not for speculative purposes. As a result of the Company’s European operations, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates between EURO and USD. As such, the Company entered into cross-currency rate swaps during the year ended December 31, 2022 to manage currency risks related to our investments in foreign operations. The Company is also subject to interest rate risk related to the Credit Facilities. The Company manages its risk to interest rate fluctuations through the use of derivative financial instruments. As such, the Company entered into an interest rate swap (notional amount of $75.0 million) during the six months ended June 30, 2023 to mitigate the risk of adverse changes in benchmark interest rates on the Company's future interest payments.
All derivative instruments are carried at fair value in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table presents the fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments that were designated and qualified as part of a hedging relationship (in millions):
Counterparty Credit Risk
Outstanding financial derivative instruments expose the Company to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the derivative agreements. The Company's credit exposure related to these financial instruments is represented by the notional amount of the hedging instruments. The Company manages its exposure to counterparty credit risk through minimum credit standards, diversification of counterparties, and procedures to monitor concentrations of credit risk. The Company's derivative instruments are with financial institutions of investment grade or better. Counterparty credit risk will be monitored through periodic review of counterparty bank’s credit ratings and public financial filings. Based on these factors, the Company considers the risk of counterparty default to be minimal.
Cash Flow Hedging Strategy
The Company uses cash flow hedges to minimize the variability in cash flows of assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions caused by fluctuations in interest rates. The changes in the fair values of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) and are reclassified into the line item in our Consolidated Statement of Operations in which the hedged items are recorded in the same period the hedged items affect earnings. The changes in the fair values of hedges that are determined to be ineffective are immediately reclassified from AOCL into earnings. The maximum length of time for which the Company hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows is three years.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the new interest rate swap resulted in a gain of $1.1 million recognized in other comprehensive income ("OCI"). There were no OCI reclassifications or gain (losses) recognized in income during the same period.
Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations Strategy
The Company uses fixed-to-fixed cross-currency rate swaps ("CCRS") to protect the net investment on pre-tax basis in the Company’s EUR-denominated operations against changes in spot exchange rates. For derivative financial instruments that are designated and qualify as hedges of net investments in foreign operations, the changes in the fair values of the derivative financial instruments are recognized in net investment hedges adjustments, a component of AOCL, to offset the changes in the values of the net investments being hedged. Any ineffective portions of net investment hedges are reclassified from AOCL into earnings during the period of change.
The following table summarizes the notional values and pretax impact of changes in the fair values of instruments designated as net investment hedges (in millions):
The Company did not reclassify any gains or losses related to net investment hedges from AOCL into earnings during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. In addition, the Company did not have any ineffectiveness related to net investment hedges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The cash inflows and outflows associated with the Company’s derivative contracts designated as net investment hedges are classified in the line item other investing activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
