Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes in market risk from the information provided under Part II, Item 7A (Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk) of CSX's most recent annual report on Form 10-K except as provided below.
Changes in interest rates may impact the cost of future interest payments on long-term debt issued by the Company, and as a result, represent interest rate risk to the Company. In an effort to manage this risk, CSX may use certain financial instruments such as fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps. The following information, together with information included in Note 7, Debt and Credit Agreements, describes the key aspects of such contracts and the related market risk to CSX.
In first quarter 2022, CSX entered into five separate fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps classified as fair value hedges. The swaps are designed to hedge 10 years of interest rate risk associated with market fluctuations attributable to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate on a cumulative $800 million of fixed rate outstanding notes which are due between 2036 and 2040. As of March 31, 2022, the fair value of these swaps was a $27 million liability, which is included in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The associated cumulative adjustment to the hedged notes is included in long-term debt. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps offset changes in the fair value of the hedged portion of the underlying debt so no gain or loss has been recognized due to hedge ineffectiveness. Differences on the fixed-to-floating legs of the derivatives are recognized in interest expense and were not material in first quarter 2022. The swaps will expire in 2032. If settled early, the remaining liability or asset will be amortized over the remaining life of the associated notes.
