Cash Flow Hedges – Foreign Currency Forward Contract

The Company has entered into currency forward contracts, each designated as a cash flow hedge upon the date of execution, for the purpose of reducing the variability of cash flows and hedging against the foreign currency exposure for forecasted payroll, pension and vendor disbursements that are expected to be made in the British Pound Sterling. The hedging program implemented is intended to reduce foreign currency exposure, and the associated forward currency contracts hedge forecasted transactions through December 2024.

The following table summarizes the notional amounts (representing the gross contract/notional amount of the derivatives outstanding) and fair values of the derivative instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 28, 2024, and December 31, 2023. The foreign currency exchange contracts are measured within Level 1 of the Fair Value hierarchy. See Note 12 Fair Value Measurements.

Within the next 12 months, the Company expects to recognize a loss of $0.0 in earnings related to the foreign currency forward contracts. As of March 28, 2024, the maximum term of the hedged forecasted transaction was 9 months. Generally, the Company has agreements with its counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the Company defaults on its existing credit facilities and payment of the loans extended under such facilities is accelerated, the Company could be declared in default under its agreements, which may result in the early termination of the outstanding derivatives governed by such agreements and the payment of an early termination amount.
