 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.

Measurement Alternative Investments

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company identified triggering events indicating that investments being accounted for under the measurement alternative may be impaired and recognized impairment charges of $11.5 million, recorded in Other (income) expense, net on the consolidated statement of operations. 

Impairment Assessment(s) and Goodwill Impairment Charge

Impairment Assessment

Our fiscal year 2024 annual goodwill impairment assessment was performed as of October 1, 2024. We determined that the fair value of our reporting units were in excess of their carrying value and therefore concluded that no goodwill impairment existed. 

The results of our October 1st annual review calculated that our APT reporting unit headroom, defined as the percentage difference between the fair value of a reporting unit and its carrying value, is 12 percent. Since the fair value of our APT reporting unit is higher than the carrying value, we have concluded that no impairment to goodwill is necessary. Our analysis includes significant assumptions such as revenue growth rate, Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") margin, and discount rate, which are judgmental, and variations in any assumptions could result in materially different calculations of fair value.

There were no events or circumstances indicating that goodwill might be impaired as of December 31, 2024.

Goodwill Impairment Charge

Beginning in fiscal year 2023, we began to see depressed volumes in our industrial end markets, constraining our ability to offset the continued crude tall oil (“CTO”) price inflation we were experiencing, and negatively impacting earnings and cash flow within our Performance Chemicals reporting unit, particularly in our
