Note 9:    Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Hedge Accounting and Hedging Program      The purposes of our cash flow hedging programs are to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk on forecasted revenues and expenses denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operating unit, and to manage floating interest rate risk associated with future interest payments on the variable-rate term loans issued in 2022. We do not issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

ICU MEDICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)

    To receive hedge accounting treatment, all 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 hedged transactions. The derivative instruments we utilize, including various foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps, are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Our derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are classified based on the instrument's maturity date. We record gains or losses from changes in the fair values of the derivative instruments as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and we reclassify those gains or losses into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. If the underlying forecasted transaction does not occur, or it becomes probable that it will not occur, we reclassify the gain or loss on the related derivative instrument from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings immediately.Foreign Currency Exchange Rate RiskForeign Exchange Forward ContractsWe enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge a portion of our forecasted foreign currency-denominated revenues and expenses to minimize the effect of foreign exchange rate movements on the related cash flows. These contracts are agreements to buy or sell a quantity of a currency at a predetermined future date and at a predetermined exchange rate. Our foreign exchange forward contracts hedge exposures principally denominated in Mexican Pesos ("MXN"), Euros ("EUR"), Czech Koruna ("CZK"), Japanese Yen ("JPY"), Swedish Krona ("SEK"), Danish Krone ("DKK"), Chinese Renminbi ("CNH"), Canadian Dollar ("CAD"), U.S. Dollar ("USD") and Australian Dollar ("AUD") and have varying maturities with an average term of approximately eleven months. The total notional amount of these outstanding derivative contracts as of March 31, 2025 was $77
