Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS | DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS Foreign Currency Derivatives Ciena conducts business globally in numerous currencies, and thus is exposed to adverse foreign currency exchange rate changes. To limit this exposure, Ciena entered into foreign currency contracts. Ciena does not enter into such contracts for speculative purposes. As of October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021, Ciena had forward contracts to hedge its foreign exchange exposure in order to reduce variability that is principally related to research and development activities. The notional amount of these contracts was approximately $272.2 million and $288.6 million as of October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021, respectively. These foreign exchange contracts have maturities of 24 months or less and have been designated as cash flow hedges. As of October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021, Ciena had forward contracts to hedge its foreign exchange exposure in order to reduce the variability in various currencies of certain balance sheet items. The notional amount of these contracts was approximately $108.0 million and $296.1 million as of October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021, respectively. These foreign exchange contracts have maturities of 12 months or less and have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Interest Rate Derivatives Ciena is exposed to floating rates of LIBOR interest on its term loan borrowings (see Note 19 below) and has hedged such risk by entering into floating-to-fixed interest rate swap arrangements (“interest rate swaps”). The interest rate swaps fix the LIBOR rate of approximately $350.0 million of the principal amount of the 2025 Term Loan at 2.957% through September 2023. The total notional amount of these interest rate swaps in effect as of October 29, 2022 was $350.0 million. In April 2022, Ciena entered into floating-to-fixed forward starting interest rate swap arrangements (“forward starting swaps”). The forward starting swaps fix the Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”) for $350.0 million of the 2025 Term Loan (as defined in Note 19 below) at 2.968% from September 2023 through the 2025 Term Loan maturity. The total notional amount of forward starting swaps effective September 2023 was $350.0 million as of October 29, 2022. Ciena entered into the forward starting swaps to hedge its anticipated SOFR rate risk from the 2025 Term Loan because the LIBOR rate is expected to be discontinued in 2023. Ciena expects the variable rate payments to be received under the terms of the interest rate swaps and forward starting swaps to offset exactly the forecasted variable rate payments on the equivalent notional amount of the 2025 Term Loan. These derivative contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges. Other information regarding Ciena’s derivatives is immaterial for separate financial statement presentation. See Notes 6 and 8 above.
