DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS | DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS Interest Rate Hedging The Company’s interest rate risk relates to U.S. dollar denominated variable interest rate borrowings. The Company uses interest rate swap derivative instruments to manage earnings and cash flow exposure resulting from changes in interest rates. These interest rate swaps apply a fixed interest rate on a portion of the Company’s expected SOFR-indexed borrowings. In March 2023, the Company entered into a basis swap where the Company receives Term SOFR and pays daily compounded SOFR to convert the portfolio of swaps from daily compounded SOFR to term SOFR. The Company held the following interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (dollar amounts in thousands): March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Hedged Item Notional Amount Designation Date Effective Date Termination Date Fixed Interest Rate Estimated Fair Value Asset (Liability) 1-month Term SOFR Loan 150,000 150,000 December 13, 2017 July 1, 2019 June 30, 2024 2.423 % 1,125 2,105 1-month Term SOFR Loan 200,000 200,000 December 13, 2017 January 1, 2018 December 31, 2024 2.313 % 4,341 4,978 1-month Term SOFR Loan 75,000 75,000 October 10, 2018 July 1, 2020 June 30, 2025 3.220 % 1,556 1,349 1-month Term SOFR Loan 75,000 75,000 October 10, 2018 July 1, 2020 June 30, 2025 3.199 % 1,548 1,312 1-month Term SOFR Loan 75,000 75,000 October 10, 2018 July 1, 2020 June 30, 2025 3.209 % 1,548 1,346 1-month Term SOFR Loan 100,000 100,000 December 18, 2018 December 30, 2022 December 31, 2027 2.885 % 4,512 3,015 1-month Term SOFR Loan 100,000 100,000 December 18, 2018 December 30, 2022 December 31, 2027 2.867 % 4,519 3,052 1-month Term SOFR Loan 575,000 575,000 December 15, 2020 July 31, 2025 December 31, 2027 1.415 % 29,267 22,965 1-month Term SOFR Loan 125,000 125,000 December 15, 2020 July 1, 2025 December 31, 2027 1.404 % 6,770 5,263 Basis Swap (1) — — March 31, 2023 March 24, 2023 December 31, 2027 N/A (2,127) 0 (1,829) $ 1,475,000 $ 1,475,000 $ 53,059 $ 43,556 (1) The notional of the basis swap amortizes to match the total notional of the interest rate swap portfolio over time The interest rate swaps were carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value and changes in the fair values were recorded as unrealized gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a gain of $14.7 million and a loss of $10.5 million, respectively, in AOCI related to the change in fair value of the interest rate swaps. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded gains of $5.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations related to the interest rate differential of the interest rate swaps. The estimated gain that is expected to be reclassified to interest income from AOCI as of March 31, 2024 within the next twelve months is $13.6 million. The Company has designated these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges. The Company assesses the effectiveness of these derivative instruments and has recorded the changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge as unrealized gains or losses in AOCI, net of tax, until the hedged item affected earnings, at which point any gain or loss was reclassified to earnings. If the hedged cash flow does not occur, or if it becomes probable that it will not occur, the Company will reclassify the remaining amount of any gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge recorded in AOCI to interest expense at that time. Foreign Currency Hedging From time to time, the Company enters into foreign currency hedge contracts intended to protect the U.S. dollar value of certain forecasted foreign currency denominated transactions. The Company assesses the effectiveness of the contracts that are designated as hedging instruments. The changes in fair value of foreign currency cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI, net of tax. Those amounts are subsequently reclassified to earnings from AOCI as impacted by the hedged item when the hedged item affects earnings. If the hedged forecasted transaction does not occur or if it becomes probable that it will not occur, the Company will reclassify the amount of any gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge to earnings at that time. For contracts not designated as hedging instruments, the changes in fair value of the contracts are recognized in other income, net in the consolidated statements of operation, along with the offsetting foreign currency gain or loss on the underlying assets or liabilities. The success of the Company’s hedging anticipated currency exchange gains or losses to the extent that there are differences between forecasted and actual activities during periods of currency volatility. In addition, changes in currency exchange rates related to any unhedged transactions may affect earnings and cash flows. Cross-Currency Rate Swaps The objective of these cross-currency swaps is to reduce volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in the foreign currency exchange rate. Under the terms of these contracts, which have been designated as cash flow hedges, the Company will make interest payments in Swiss francs (“CHFs”) and receive interest in U.S. dollars. Upon the maturity of these contracts, the Company will pay the principal amount of the loans in CHFs and receive U.S. dollars from the counterparties. On September 22, 2023, the Company amended the Swiss franc denominated intercompany loan to partially settle CHF 20.0 million and extend the termination date to September 2024 and as a result, the Company terminated the cross-currency swap designated as cash flow hedge of an intercompany loan with aggregate notional amount of $48.5 million. Simultaneously, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap agreement to hedge a notional amount of CHF 28.5 million equivalent to $31.5 million of this amended intercompany loan into U.S. dollars. The loss recorded by the Company upon the settlement of the swap was not material for the period. On December 21, 2020, the Company entered into cross-currency swap agreements to convert a notional amount of $471.6 million equivalent to 420.1 million of a CHF-denominated intercompany loan into U.S. dollars. The CHF-denominated intercompany loan was the result of an intra-entity transfer of certain intellectual property rights to a subsidiary in Switzerland completed during the fourth quarter of 2020. The intercompany loan requires quarterly payments of CHF 5.8 million plus accrued interest. As a result, the aggregate notional amount of the related cross-currency swaps will decrease by a corresponding amount. The Company held the following cross-currency rate swaps as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (dollar amounts in thousands): March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Effective Date Termination Date Fixed Rate Aggregate Notional Amount Fair Value Pay CHF December 21, 2020 December 22, 2025 3.00% CHF 333,887 351,137 (9,902) (38,324) Receive U.S.$ 3.98% $ 374,817 394,183 Pay CHF September 22, 2023 September 29, 2024 2.40% CHF 28,500 28,500 (2,578) (2,348) Receive U.S.$ 6.27% $ 31,457 31,457 Total $ (12,480) $ (40,672) The cross-currency swaps are carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, and changes in the fair values are recorded as unrealized gains or losses in AOCI. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 the Company recorded a gain of $30.1 million in other income, net related to change in fair value related to the foreign currency rate translation to offset the losses recognized on the intercompany loans. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a loss of $4.9 million in other income, net related to change in fair value related to the foreign currency rate translation to offset the losses recognized on the intercompany loans. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a gain of $29.5 million in AOCI related to change in fair value of the cross-currency swaps. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a gain of $2.2 million in AOCI related to change in fair value of the cross-currency swaps. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a gain of $1.3 million in other income, net included in the consolidated statements of operations related to the interest rate differential of the cross-currency swaps. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a gain of $1.5 million in other income, net included in the consolidated statements of operations related to the interest rate differential of the cross-currency swaps. The estimated loss that is expected to be reclassified to other income (expense), net from AOCI as of March 31, 2024 within the next twelve months is $1.9 million. As of March 31, 2024, the Company does not expect any gains or losses will be reclassified into earnings because the original forecasted transactions will not occur. Net Investment Hedges The Company manages certain foreign exchange risks through a variety of strategies, including hedging. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk from its international operations through foreign currency purchases, net investments in foreign subsidiaries, and foreign currency assets and liabilities created in the normal course of business. On October 1, 2018 May 24, 2022, and November 17, 2023, the Company entered into cross-currency swap agreements designated as net investment hedges to partially offset the effects of foreign currency on foreign subsidiaries. The Company held the following cross-currency rate swaps designated as net investment hedges as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively (dollar amounts in thousands): March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Effective Date Termination Date Fixed Rate Aggregate Notional Amount Fair Value Pay EUR October 3, 2018 September 30, 2025 —% EUR 38,820 38,820 3,459 2,475 Receive U.S.$ 2.19% $ 45,000 45,000 Pay CHF May 26, 2022 December 16, 2028 —% CHF 288,210 288,210 (29,614) (48,047) Receive U.S.$ 1.94% $ 300,000 300,000 Pay CHF November 21, 2023 December 17, 2029 —% CHF 66,525 66,525 (736) (4,037) Receive U.S.$ 2.54% $ 75,000 75,000 Total $ (26,891) $ (49,609) The cross-currency swaps were carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value and changes in the fair values were recorded as unrealized gains or losses in AOCI. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a gain of $24.9 million in AOCI related to the change in fair value of the cross-currency swaps. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a gain of $1.0 million in AOCI related to change in fair value of the cross-currency swaps. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a gain of $2.2 million in interest income included in the consolidated statements of operations related to the interest rate differential of the cross-currency swaps. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a gain of $2.1 million in interest income included in the consolidated statements of operations related to the interest rate differential of the cross-currency swaps. The estimated gain that is expected to be reclassified to interest income from AOCI as of March 31, 2024 within the next twelve months is $4.1 million. On May 2, 2024, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap agreement with a notional amount of CHF 68.5 million, equivalent to $75.0 million, where the Company agreed with third-parties to sell Swiss francs in exchange for U.S. dollars at a specified rate at the maturity of the contract. The new cross-currency swap agreement was designated as a net investment hedge to partially offset the effects of foreign currency on foreign subsidiaries. Foreign Currency Forward Contracts The Company has entered into a hedge for forecasted intercompany purchases denominated in foreign currencies through the use of forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges. To the extent these forward contracts meet hedge accounting criteria, changes in their fair value are not included in accumulated comprehensive loss. These changes in fair value will be recognized into earnings as a component of cost of sales when the forecasted-transaction occurs. In the first quarter of 2024, the Company entered into foreign currency forwards to mitigate the exchange rate risk of Swiss franc denominated intercompany purchases. These contracts typically settle at various dates within twelve months of execution. As of March 31, 2024 the notional amount of foreign currency forward contracts was CHF13.3 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 the Company recorded a loss of $0.6 million in AOCI related to the change in fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts and a loss of $0.1 million in cost of goods sold included in the consolidated statements of operations. Counterparty Credit Risk The Company manages its concentration of counterparty credit risk on its derivative instruments by limiting acceptable counterparties to a group of major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings, and by actively monitoring their credit ratings and outstanding positions on an ongoing basis. Therefore, the Company considers the credit risk of the counterparties to be low. Furthermore, none of the Company’s derivative transactions are subject to collateral or other security arrangements, and none contain provisions that depend upon the Company’s credit ratings from any credit rating agency. Fair Value of Derivative Instruments The Company has classified all of its derivative instruments within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of the derivative instruments. The fair values of the interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps were developed using a market approach based on publicly available market yield curves and the terms of the swap. The Company performs ongoing assessments of counterparty credit risk. The following table summarizes the fair value for derivatives designated as hedging instruments in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023: Fair Value as of Location on Balance Sheet (1) : March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Dollars in thousands Derivatives designated as hedges — Assets: Prepaid expenses and other current assets Cash Flow Hedges Interest rate swap (2) $ 14,188 $ 14,675 Cross-currency swap 680 537 Net Investment Hedges Cross-currency swap 4,084 2,938 Other assets Cash Flow Hedges Interest rate swap (2) 40,998 30,710 Cross-currency swap — — Net Investment Hedges Cross-currency swap 2,454 1,470 Total derivatives designated as hedges — Assets $ 62,404 $ 50,330 Derivatives designated as hedges — Liabilities: Accrued expenses and other current liabilities Cash Flow Hedges Interest rate swap (2) $ 540 $ 579 Cross-currency swap 2,578 4,813 Foreign currency forward contracts 629 — Net Investment Hedges Cross-currency swap — 2,903 Other liabilities Cash Flow Hedges Interest rate swap (2) 1,586 1,250 Cross-currency swap 10,582 36,396 Net Investment Hedges Cross-currency swap 33,427 51,114 Total derivatives designated as hedges — Liabilities $ 49,342 $ 97,055 (1) The Company classifies derivative assets and liabilities as current based on the cash flows expected to be incurred within the following 12 months.

In a foreign currency swap transaction, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between one currency and another currency at a fixed exchange rate, generally set at inception, calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional amount. The notional amount of each currency is exchanged at the inception and termination of the currency swap by each party. The Company subsequently paid down a portion of this swap, bringing the notional amount down to $5.5 million as of March 31, 2024. The fair value of the foreign currency swaps not designated as hedges was $1.5 million and $1.2 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
