Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We are party to fixed interest rate swap instruments that are designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges to manage risks associated with interest rate fluctuations on a portion of our floating rate debt. Our derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges as of December 31, 2023 were (in thousands):

Notional Amount Paid Fixed Rate Receive Variable Rate Settlement and Termination
Interest rate swap (a)
$150,000 2.8% 1-month term SOFR Monthly through October 31, 2027
Interest rate swap (b)
$100,000 4.5% 1-month term SOFR Monthly through July 31, 2026
(a) In July 2022, we executed forward-starting fixed interest rate swap, the tenor of which began on October 31, 2022.
(b) In July 2023, we executed a fixed interest rate swap that hedges the variability in interest payments on floating rate debt.

These derivative instruments are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Unrealized changes in the fair value on cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and the amounts are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings in a manner that matches the timing of the earnings impact of the hedged
transactions. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we reclassified $3.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense, net. We estimate that we will reclassify $2.9 million of unrealized gains from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings in the twelve months following December 31, 2023.
