Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2023

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms "our," "we," "us," and the "Company" refers to FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company prepared the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In our opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation. These adjustments consist of normal recurring accruals and estimates that impact the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty; accordingly, accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. These financial statements were prepared using information reasonably available to us as of March 31, 2023 and through the date of this Quarterly Report. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes. Actual results may differ from these estimates due to the uncertainty around the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the impact of changes to monetary policy, as well as other factors.

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at period-end. The related translation adjustments are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss. Income and expenses are translated at the average monthly rates of exchange in effect during the year. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are included in net income. The Company recognized foreign exchange losses, which are recorded within other expense, net in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 as follows (in millions):

Three Months Ended March 31,
20232022
Foreign exchange losses$0.7$0.4

The Company recorded foreign currency gains on long-term intra-entity transactions included as a component of foreign currency translation gains, net of tax, in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 as follows (in millions):

Three Months Ended March 31,
20232022
Foreign currency gains on long-term intra-entity transactions$4.9$146.0

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

Cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Restricted cash primarily represents customer deposits repayable on demand, as well as collateral received from customers for cross-currency transactions in our cross-border payments business, which are restricted from use other than to repay customer deposits, as well as secure and settle cross-currency transactions, and collateral posted with banks for hedging positions in our cross-border payments business. Based on our assessment of the current capital market conditions and related impact on our access to cash, we have reclassified all cash held at our Russian businesses of $224.4 million to restricted cash as of March 31, 2023.

Revenue

The Company provides payment solutions to our business, merchant, consumer and payment network customers. Our payment solutions are primarily focused on specific commercial spend categories, including Fuel, Corporate Payments, Tolls, Lodging, as well as Gift solutions (stored value cards and e-cards). The Company provides solutions that help businesses of all sizes control, simplify and secure payment of various domestic and cross-border payables using specialized payment products. The Company also provides other payment solutions for fleet maintenance, employee benefits and long haul transportation-related services. Revenues from contracts with customers, within the scope of ASC 606, "Revenue Recognition", represent approximately 88% of total consolidated revenues, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company accounts for revenue from late fees and finance charges, in jurisdictions where permitted under local regulations, primarily in the U.S. and Canada in accordance with ASC 310, "Receivables". Such fees are recognized net of a provision for estimated uncollectible amounts, at the time the fees and finance charges are assessed and services are provided and represent approximately 5% of total consolidated revenues, net for the three months ended March 31, 2023. In addition, in its cross-border payments business, the Company writes foreign currency forward and option contracts for its customers to facilitate future payments in foreign currencies. Revenues related to these contracts represent approximately 7% of total consolidated revenues, net for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Our revenue is generally reported net of the cost for underlying products and services purchased through our payment solutions. In this report, we refer to this net revenue as "revenue".

Disaggregation of Revenues

The Company provides its services to customers across different payment solutions and geographies. The Company's solutions have been merged to align with its segments. Revenue by solution (in millions) for the three months ended March 31, was as follows:

Contract Liabilities

Deferred revenue contract liabilities for customers subject to ASC 606 were $54.2 million and $57.7 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We expect to recognize approximately $35.8 million of these amounts in revenues within 12 months and the remaining $18.4 million over the next five years as of March 31, 2023. Revenue recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2023 that was included in the deferred revenue contract liability as of December 31, 2022 was approximately $16.9 million.

Spot Trade Offsetting

The Company uses spot trades to facilitate cross-currency corporate payments in its cross-border payments business. The Company applies offsetting to our spot trade assets and liabilities associated with contracts that include master netting agreements, as a right of setoff exists, which the Company believes to be enforceable. As such, the Company has netted spot trade liabilities against spot trade receivables at the counter-party level. The Company recognizes all spot trade assets, net in accounts receivable and all spot trade liabilities, net in accounts payable, each net at the customer level, in its Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value. The following table presents the Company’s spot trade assets and liabilities at their fair value at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in millions):

March 31, 2023December 31, 2022

Liabilities
Accounts Payable$4,114.2$(3,974.7)$139.5$2,332.5$(2,266.0)$66.5

Reclassifications and Adjustments

Certain disclosures for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation, including the breakout of derivatives assets and liabilities, net within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and the presentation of disaggregated revenues by solution to align with our revenues by segment presentation.

2. Accounts and Other Receivables

The Company's accounts and securitized accounts receivable include the following at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

March 31, 2023December 31, 2022
Gross domestic accounts receivable$1,121,954$985,873
Gross domestic securitized accounts receivable1,284,0001,287,000
Gross foreign receivables1,407,8691,228,718
Total gross receivables3,813,8233,501,591
Less allowance for credit losses(160,588)(149,846)
Net accounts and securitized accounts receivable$3,653,235$3,351,745

The Company maintains a $1.7 billion revolving trade accounts receivable securitization facility (as amended from time to time, the "Securitization Facility"). Accounts receivable collateralized within our Securitization Facility primarily relate to trade receivables resulting from charge card activity in the U.S. Pursuant to the terms of the Securitization Facility, the Company transfers certain of its domestic receivables, on a revolving basis, to FLEETCOR Funding LLC (Funding), a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote subsidiary. In turn, Funding transfers, without recourse, on a revolving basis, an undivided ownership interest in this pool of accounts receivable to multi-seller banks and asset-backed commercial paper conduits (Conduit). Funding maintains a subordinated interest, in the form of over-collateralization, in a portion of the receivables sold. Purchases by the Conduit are financed with the sale of highly-rated commercial paper.

The Company utilizes proceeds from the securitized assets as an alternative to other forms of financing to reduce its overall borrowing costs. The Company has agreed to continue servicing the sold receivables for the financial institution at market rates, which approximates the Company’s cost of servicing. The Company retains a residual interest in the transferred asset as a form of credit enhancement. The residual interest’s fair value approximates carrying value due to its short-term nature. Funding determines the level of funding achieved by the sale of trade accounts receivable, subject to a maximum amount.

The Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Income reflect the activity related to securitized accounts receivable and the corresponding securitized debt, including interest income, fees generated from late payments, provision for losses on accounts receivable and interest expense. The cash flows from borrowings and repayments associated with the securitized debt are presented as cash flows from financing activities.

A rollforward of the Company’s allowance for credit losses related to accounts receivable for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 is as follows (in thousands):

20232022

Allowance for credit losses end of period$160,588$118,911

3. Fair Value Measurements

A three-tier value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

  • Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

  • Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar or identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

  • Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

The Company has highly-liquid investments classified as cash equivalents, with original maturities of 90 days or less, included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company utilizes Level 2 fair value determinations derived from directly or indirectly observable (market based) information to determine the fair value of these highly liquid investments. The Company has certain cash and cash equivalents that are invested in highly liquid investments, such as, repurchase agreements, money markets and certificates of deposit, with maturities ranging from overnight to 90 days or less. The value of overnight repurchase agreements is determined based upon the quoted market prices for the securities associated with the repurchase agreements. The value of money market instruments is determined based upon the financial institutions' month-end statement, as these instruments are not tradable and must be settled directly by us with the respective financial institution. Certificates of deposit are valued at cost, plus interest accrued. Given the short-term nature of these instruments, the carrying value approximates fair value. Foreign exchange derivative contracts are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair value of the Company's derivatives is derived with reference to a valuation from a derivatives dealer operating in an active market, which approximates the fair value of these instruments. The fair value represents the net settlement if the contracts were terminated as of the reporting date. Cash collateral received for foreign exchange derivatives is recorded within customer deposits in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Cash collateral deposited for foreign exchange derivatives is recorded within restricted cash in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The level within the fair value hierarchy and the measurement technique are reviewed quarterly. Transfers between levels are deemed to have occurred at the end of the quarter. There were no transfers between fair value levels during the periods presented for March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis or are evaluated with periodic testing for impairment include property, plant and equipment, investments, goodwill and other intangible assets. Estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations are generally developed using key inputs such as management’s projections of cash flows on a held-and-used basis (if applicable), discounted as appropriate, management’s projections of cash flows upon disposition and discount rates. Accordingly, these fair value measurements are in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company determines the fair values of its derivatives based on quoted market prices or pricing models using current market rates. The amounts exchanged are calculated by reference to the notional amounts and by other terms of the derivatives, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity rates or other financial indices. The Company's derivatives are over-the-counter instruments with liquid markets.

The Company regularly evaluates the carrying value of its investments. The carrying amount of investments without readily determinable fair values was $67.6 million at March 31, 2023.

The fair value of the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, securitized accounts receivable and related facility, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, customer deposits and short-term borrowings approximate their respective carrying values due to the short-term maturities of the instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s debt obligations approximates fair value as the interest rates on the debt are variable market based interest rates that reset on a quarterly basis. These are each Level 2 fair value measurements, except for cash, which is a Level 1 fair value measurement.

4. Stockholders' Equity

The Company announced on February 4, 2016 that its Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a stock repurchase program (as updated from time to time, the "Program") authorizing the Company to repurchase its common stock from time to time until February 1, 2024. On October 25, 2022, the Company announced the Board increased the aggregate size of the Program by $1.0 billion to $7.1 billion. Since the beginning of the Program through March 31, 2023, 26,327,835 shares have been repurchased for an aggregate purchase price of $5.9 billion, leaving the Company up to $1.2 billion of remaining authorization available under the Program for future repurchases in shares of its common stock.

6. Acquisitions

2023 Acquisitions

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company acquired Global Reach Group, a UK-based global cross-border provider, Mina Digital Limited, a cloud-based electric vehicle charging software platform, and Business Gateway AG, a service, maintenance and repair technology provider. The aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions was approximately $135.1 million (inclusive of $8.5 million previously-held equity method investment in Mina), net of cash of $104 million. The Company financed the acquisitions using a combination of available cash and borrowings under its existing credit facility. Any noncompete agreements signed in conjunction with these acquisitions were accounted for separately from the business acquisition.

Acquisition accounting is preliminary as the Company is still completing the valuation for goodwill, intangible assets, income taxes, working capital, and contingencies.

2022 Acquisitions

During 2022, the Company acquired Levarti, an airline software platform company reported in the Lodging segment; Accrualify, an accounts payable (AP) automation software company reported in the Corporate Payments segment; Plugsurfing, a European EV software and network provider reported in the Fleet segment; and Roomex, a European workforce lodging provider reported in the Lodging segment. The aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions was approximately $197.6 million, net of cash. The Company financed the acquisitions using a combination of available cash and borrowings under its existing credit facility. In connection with one of these acquisitions, the Company signed noncompete agreements of $1.1 million with certain parties affiliated with the business for which the Company is still completing the valuation. These noncompete agreements were accounted for separately from the business acquisition.

Acquisition accounting is preliminary (with the exception of Levarti) as the Company is still completing the valuation for goodwill, intangible assets, income taxes, working capital, and contingencies.

Changes in foreign exchange rates resulted in a $15.8 million increase to the net carrying values of other intangibles in the three months ended March 31, 2023. Amortization expense related to intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $57.7 million and $54.9 million, respectively.

8. Debt

The Company is party to a $6.4 billion Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer, and a syndicate of financial institutions (the "Lenders"). The Credit Agreement includes term loan A, term loan B, and a revolving credit facility. As noted in footnote 2, the Company is also party to a Securitization Facility.

The balances of the Company’s debt instruments under the Credit Agreement and the Securitization Facility are as follows (in thousands):

March 31, 2023December 31, 2022
Term Loan A note payable, net of discounts$2,937,692$2,956,053

On May 3, 2023, the Company entered into the thirteenth amendment to the Credit Facility. The amendment replaced LIBOR on the term B loan with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.10%.

The Company was in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants under the Credit Agreement and Securitization Facility at March 31, 2023.

9. Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate was 27.1% and 26.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Income tax expense is based on an estimated annual effective rate, which requires the Company to make its best estimate of annual pretax accounting income or loss before consideration of tax or benefit discretely recognized in the period in which such occur. Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to the unfavorable impact of state taxes net of federal benefits, additional taxes on undistributed foreign-sourced income, and foreign withholding taxes on interest income from intercompany notes. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the effective tax rate was increased by discrete items of $1.6 million incurred from an uncertain tax position related to previous years and tax benefits arising from stock-based compensation previously recorded in pretax income.

10. Earnings Per Share

The Company reports basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution related to equity-based incentives using the treasury stock method. The calculation and reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Three Months Ended March 31,
20232022
Net income$214,835$217,952
Denominator for basic earnings per share73,52177,737

Denominator for diluted earnings per share74,48379,286
Basic earnings per share$2.92$2.80
Diluted earnings per share$2.88$2.75

Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 excludes the effect of 2.4 million and 2.1 million shares, respectively, of common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of employee stock options because such effect would be anti-dilutive. Diluted earnings per share also excludes the effect of an immaterial amount of performance-based restricted stock for which the performance criteria have not yet been achieved for the three month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

11. Segments

The Company reports information about its operating segments in accordance with the authoritative guidance related to segments. In the second quarter of 2022, in order to align with recent changes in the organizational structure and management reporting, the Company updated its segments structure into Fleet, Corporate Payments, Lodging, Brazil and Other, which includes our Gift and Payroll Card businesses. We manage and report our operating results through these four reportable segments which aligns with how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) allocates resources, assesses performance and reviews financial information. The presentation of segment information has been recast for the prior period to align with this segment presentation for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The Company’s segment results are as follows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

12. Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various pending or threatened legal actions, arbitration proceedings, claims, subpoenas, and matters relating to compliance with laws and regulations (collectively, "legal proceedings"). Based on our current knowledge, management presently does not believe that the liabilities arising from these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these legal proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition for any particular period.

Derivative Lawsuits

On July 10, 2017, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed against the Company and certain of the Company’s directors and officers in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia ("Federal Derivative Action") seeking recovery from the Company. The District Court dismissed the Federal Derivative Action on October 21, 2020, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit affirmed the dismissal on July 27, 2022, ending the lawsuit. A similar derivative lawsuit that had been filed on January 9, 2019 in the Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia (“State Derivative Action”) was likewise dismissed on October 31, 2022.

On January 20, 2023, the previous State Derivative Action plaintiffs filed a new derivative lawsuit in the Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia. The new lawsuit, City of Aventura Police Officers’ Retirement Fund, derivatively on behalf of FleetCor Technologies, Inc. v. Ronald F. Clarke and Eric R. Dey, alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by causing or permitting the Company to engage in unfair or deceptive marketing and billing practices, making false and misleading public statements concerning the Company’s fee charges and financial and business prospects, and making improper sales of stock. The complaint seeks approximately $118 million in monetary damages on behalf of the Company, including contribution by defendants as joint tortfeasors with the Company in unfair and deceptive practices, and disgorgement of

incentive pay and stock compensation. On January 24, 2023, the previous Federal Derivative Action plaintiffs filed a similar new derivative lawsuit, Jerrell Whitten, derivatively on behalf of FleetCor Technologies, Inc. v. Ronald F. Clarke and Eric R. Dey, against Mr. Clarke and Mr. Dey in Gwinnett County, Georgia. The defendants dispute the allegations in the derivative complaints and intend to vigorously defend against the claims.

FTC Investigation

In October 2017, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") issued a Notice of Civil Investigative Demand to the Company for the production of documentation and a request for responses to written interrogatories. After discussions with the Company, the FTC proposed in October 2019 to resolve potential claims relating to the Company’s advertising and marketing practices, principally in its U.S. direct fuel card business within its North American Fuel Card business. The parties reached impasse primarily related to what the Company believes are unreasonable demands for redress made by the FTC.

On December 20, 2019, the FTC filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of Georgia against the Company and Ron Clarke. See FTC v. FLEETCOR and Ronald F. Clarke, No. 19-cv-05727 (N.D. Ga.). The complaint alleges the Company and Clarke violated the FTC Act’s prohibitions on unfair and deceptive acts and practices. The complaint seeks among other things injunctive relief, consumer redress, and costs of suit. The Company continues to believe that the FTC’s claims are without merit. On April 17, 2021, the FTC filed a motion for summary judgment. On April 22, 2021, the United States Supreme Court held unanimously in AMG Capital Management v. FTC that the FTC does not have authority under current law to seek monetary redress by means of Section 13(b) of the FTC Act, which is the means by which the FTC has sought such redress in this case. FLEETCOR cross-moved for summary judgment regarding the FTC’s ability to seek monetary or injunctive relief on May 17, 2021. On August 13, 2021, the FTC filed a motion to stay or to voluntarily dismiss without prejudice the case pending in the Northern District of Georgia in favor of a parallel administrative action under Section 5 of the FTC Act that it filed on August 11, 2021 in the FTC’s administrative process. Apart from the jurisdiction and statutory change, the FTC’s administrative complaint makes the same factual allegations as the FTC’s original complaint filed in December 2019. The Company opposed the FTC’s motion for a stay or to voluntarily dismiss, and the court denied the FTC’s motion on February 7, 2022. In the meantime, the FTC’s administrative action is stayed. On August 9, 2022, the District Court for the Northern District of Georgia granted the FTC's motion for summary judgment as to liability for the Company and Ron Clarke, but granted the Company's motion for summary judgment as to the FTC's claim for monetary relief as to both the Company and Ron Clarke. The Company intends to appeal this decision after final judgment is issued. On October 20-21, 2022, the court held a hearing on the scope of injunctive relief. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Court did not enter either the FTC’s proposed order or the Company’s proposed order, and instead suggested that the parties enter mediation. Following mediation, both parties have filed proposed orders with the Court. The Company has incurred and continues to incur legal and other fees related to this complaint. Any settlement of this matter, or defense against the lawsuit, could involve costs to the Company, including legal fees, redress, penalties, and remediation expenses.

Estimating an amount or range of possible losses resulting from litigation proceedings is inherently difficult and requires an extensive degree of judgment, particularly where, as here, the matters involve indeterminate claims for monetary damages and are in the stages of the proceedings where key factual and legal issues have not been resolved. For these reasons, the Company is currently unable to predict the ultimate timing or outcome of, or reasonably estimate the possible losses or a range of possible losses resulting from, the matters described above.

13. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

Foreign Currency Derivatives

The Company uses derivatives to facilitate cross-currency corporate payments by writing derivatives to customers within its cross-border solution. The Company writes derivatives, primarily foreign currency forward contracts, option contracts, and swaps, mostly with small and medium size enterprises that are customers and derives a currency spread from this activity.

Derivative transactions associated with the Company's cross-border solution include:

  • Forward contracts, which are commitments to buy or sell at a future date a currency at a contract price and will be settled in cash.

  • Option contracts, which give the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell within a specified time a currency at a contracted price that may be settled in cash.

  • Swap contracts, which are commitments to settlement in cash at a future date or dates, usually on an overnight basis.

The credit risk inherent in derivative agreements represents the possibility that a loss may occur from the nonperformance of a counterparty to the agreements. Concentrations of credit and performance risk may exist with counterparties, which includes customers and banking partners, as the Company is engaged in similar activities with similar economic characteristics related to fluctuations in foreign currency rates. The Company performs a review of the credit risk of these counterparties at the inception of the contract and on an ongoing basis. The Company also monitors the concentration of its contracts with any individual counterparty against limits at the individual counterparty level. The Company anticipates that the counterparties will be able to

fully satisfy their obligations under the agreements, but takes action when doubt arises about the counterparties' ability to perform. These actions may include requiring customers to post or increase collateral, and for all counterparties, if the counterparty does not perform under the term of the contract, the contract may be terminated. The Company does not designate any of its foreign exchange derivatives as hedging instruments in accordance with ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging".

The aggregate equivalent U.S. dollar notional amount of foreign exchange derivative customer contracts held by the Company as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in millions) is presented in the following table:

Notional

Total$46,865.4$40,496.4

The majority of customer foreign exchange contracts are written in currencies such as the U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar, British pound, euro and Australian dollar.

The following table summarizes the fair value of derivatives reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in millions):

The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities associated with contracts, which include netting terms that the Company believes to be enforceable, have been recorded net within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company receives cash from customers as collateral for trade exposures, which is recorded within cash and cash equivalents and customer deposits in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The customer has the right to recall their collateral in the event exposures move in their favor, they perform on all outstanding contracts and have no outstanding amounts due to the Company, or they cease to do business with the Company. The Company has trading lines with several banks, most of which require collateral to be posted if certain mark-to-market (MTM) thresholds are exceeded. Cash collateral posted with banks is recorded within restricted cash and can be recalled in the event that exposures move in the Company’s favor or move below the collateral posting thresholds. The Company does not offset fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral. The following table presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities, as well as their classification on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in millions):

Cash Flow Hedges

On January 22, 2019, the Company entered into three interest rate swap cash flow contracts (the "swap contracts"). One contract (which matured in January 2022) had a notional value of $1.0 billion, while the two remaining contracts each have a notional value of $500 million. The objective of these swap contracts is to reduce the variability of cash flows in the previously unhedged interest payments associated with $2.0 billion of variable rate debt, the sole source of which is due to changes in the LIBOR benchmark interest rate. At inception, the Company designated these contracts as hedging instruments in accordance with ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging." As of March 31, 2023, only one LIBOR-based interest rate swaps remains, with a receive-variable one month LIBOR and a pay-fixed monthly rate of 2.55% based on a notional amount of $500 million and a maturity date of December 19, 2023. On May 4, 2023, the Company amended the remaining LIBOR-based swap. The amendment replaced LIBOR on the swap with one-month term SOFR resulting in a pay-fixed monthly rate of 2.50%, without further changes to the terms of the swap.

During January 2023, the Company entered into five receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swap derivative contracts with U.S. dollar notional amounts as follows (in millions):

Notional AmountFixed RatesMaturity Date
$2504.01%7/31/2025
$2504.02%7/31/2025
$5003.80%1/31/2026
$2503.71%7/31/2026
$2503.72%7/31/2026

The purpose of these contracts is to reduce the variability of cash flows in interest payments associated with the Company's unspecified variable rate debt, the sole source of which is due to changes in the SOFR benchmark interest rate. The Company has designated these derivative instruments as cash flow hedging instruments, which are expected to be highly effective at offsetting changes in cash flows of the related underlying exposure. As a result, changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. For each of these swap contracts, the Company pays a fixed monthly rate and receives one month SOFR. The Company reclassified $5.1 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2023 related to these interest rate swap contracts.

For derivatives accounted for as hedging instruments, the Company formally designates and documents, at inception, the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure, the risk management objective and the strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. The Company formally assesses, both at the inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in cash flows of the related underlying exposures.

The following table presents the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap contracts, as well as their classification on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in millions). See Note 3 for additional information on the fair value of the Company’s swap contracts.

Swap contractsPrepaid expenses and other current assets$8.3$12.0
Swap contractsOther assets$4.4$—
Swap contractsOther noncurrent liabilities$(8.8)$—

The estimated net amount of the existing gains expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months is approximately $20.1 million at March 31, 2023.

Net Investment Hedge

In February 2023, the Company entered into a cross currency interest rate swap that is designated as a net investment hedge of our investments in euro-denominated operations. This contract effectively converts $500 million of U.S. dollar equivalent to an obligation denominated in euro, and partially offsets the impact of changes in currency rates on our euro denominated net investments. This contract also creates a positive interest differential on the U.S. dollar-denominated portion of the swap, resulting in a 1.96% interest rate savings on the USD notional.

Hedge effectiveness is tested based on changes in the fair value of the cross currency swap due to changes in the USD/euro spot rate. The Company anticipates perfect effectiveness of the designated hedging relationship and records changes in the fair value of the cross currency interest rate swap associated with changes in the spot rate through accumulated other comprehensive loss. Excluded components associated with the forward differential are recognized directly in earnings as interest expense, net. The Company recognized a benefit of $1.5 million in interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2023 related to these excluded components. The cross currency interest rate swap designated as a net investment hedge is recorded in Other current liabilities at a fair value of $5.1 million as of March 31, 2023.
