We did not record any gains or losses related to discontinuation of foreign exchange forward contracts cash flow hedges during the nine months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024.During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we entered into 6-month interest rate hedge contracts (the 2025 Rate Lock Agreements) with notional value of $2.0 billion to lock the benchmark interest rate prior to expected debt issuances with 10-year and 30-year terms. The objective of the 2025 Rate Lock Agreements was to hedge the risk associated with the variability in interest rates due to the changes in the benchmark rate leading up to the closing of the intended financing on the notional amount being hedged. To receive hedge accounting treatment, the hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge, and the hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on the hedged transactions. These derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges with unrealized gains and losses deferred in other comprehensive income (loss) (OCI). The 2025 Rate Lock Agreements terminated and settled in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, and we recorded the fair value of $121.6 million as a loss within OCI. The unrealized loss of $121.6 million is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the related debt. We expect $7.0 million of the unrealized loss to be amortized to interest expense over the next 12 months. As of July 31, 2025, the unamortized portion of the fair value of the 2025 Rate Lock Agreements was $118.7 million. We had no interest rate hedge contracts outstanding as of July 31, 2025.During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we entered into a deferred payment agreement with the counterparty bank to defer the cash settlement of 2025 Rate Lock Agreements over a period of 5.5 years with installments due semi-annually. The implied interest rate is 3.45%. This liability is recognized in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as short-term debt for the portion due within the next 12 months and as long-term debt for the remaining portion.
