Commodity Price Risk ManagementCertain energy sources used in our manufacturing operations are subject to price volatility caused by weather, supply and demand conditions, economic variables, and other unpredictable factors. This volatility is primarily related to the market pricing of natural gas. To mitigate expected fluctuations in market prices and the volatility to earnings and cash flow resulting from changes to the pricing of natural gas purchases, from time to time, we will enter into swap contracts and zero cost collar option contracts and designate these contracts as cash flow hedges. As of December 31, 2024, we had 1.8 million mmBTUS (millions of British Thermal Units) in open natural gas derivative contracts, designated as cash flow hedges. As of December 31, 2024, open natural gas derivative contracts hedge a portion of forecasted transactions until December 2025. The fair value of the open natural gas derivative contracts was a net asset (liability) of $0.3 million and $(0.9) million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.Interest Rate Risk Management During the third quarter of 2024, we entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap with a notional amount of $200.0 million to manage the variability of cash flows in the interest rate payments associated with our existing Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") based interest payments, effectively converting $200.0 million of our floating rate debt to a fixed rate. In accordance with the terms of this instrument, we receive floating rate interest payments based upon one-month U.S. dollar SOFR and in return are obligated to pay interest at a fixed rate of 3.84 percent until August 2026. The fair value of outstanding interest rate instruments at December 31, 2024 and 2023 was an asset of $0.6 million and zero, respectively.During 2022, we had floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps with a combined notional amount of $166.2 million to manage the variability of cash flows in the interest rate payments associated with our existing LIBOR-based interest payments, effectively converting $166.2 million of our floating rate debt to a fixed rate. Per the terms of these instruments, we received floating rate interest payments based upon a three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR and in return, were obligated to pay interest at a fixed rate of 3.79 percent until July 2023.
