Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivatives and Hedge Accounting Derivatives and Hedge Accounting
The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate cash flow volatility from risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge cash flow risks from forecasted transactions denominated in certain foreign currencies, and interest rate swaps to hedge cash flow risks from its revolving credit facility having variable interest rate obligations. These contracts qualify as cash flow hedges under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and are with counterparties that are highly rated financial institutions. For derivatives in cash flow hedging relationships as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts totaling $831,250 and $841,620, respectively and interest rate swaps totaling $75,000, each.

The Company estimates that approximately $1,578 of derivative gains, net, excluding tax effects, included in AOCI, representing changes in the value of cash flow hedges based on exchange rates prevailing as of June 30, 2023, could be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2023, the maximum outstanding term of the cash flow hedges was approximately 39 months.

The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its intercompany balances and other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than functional currencies, against the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with remeasurement of such assets and liabilities to functional currency. These foreign currency forward contracts do not qualify as fair value hedges under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Changes in the fair value of these financial instruments are recognized in the unaudited consolidated statements of income and are included in the foreign exchange gain/(loss) line item. The Company’s primary exchange rate exposure is with the Indian rupee, the Philippine peso and the U.K. pound sterling (GBP). The Company also has exposure to Colombian pesos (COP), the Euro (EUR), South African ZAR, the Australian dollar (AUD), the Canadian dollar (CAD) and other local currencies in which it operates.

The following table sets forth the aggregate notional principal amounts of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts for derivatives not designated as hedging instruments:
