Financial Instruments | Financial Instruments Derivatives: All derivative instruments are reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, depending on whether the derivative is designated and effective as part of a hedged transaction. Gains or losses on derivative instruments recorded in earnings are presented in the same Consolidated Statement of Earnings line that is used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item. Gains or losses on derivative instruments in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“Accumulated OCI”) are reclassified to earnings in the period in which earnings are affected by the underlying hedged item. The criteria used to determine if hedge accounting treatment is appropriate are: (i) the designation of the hedge to an underlying exposure; (ii) whether or not overall risk is being reduced; and (iii) if there is a correlation between the value of the derivative instrument and the underlying hedged item. Once a derivative contract is entered into, Snap-on designates the derivative as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or a natural hedging instrument whose change in fair value is recognized as an economic hedge against changes in the value of the hedged item. Snap-on does not use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Snap-on is exposed to global market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and the company’s stock price. The company uses derivatives to manage financial exposures that occur in the normal course of business. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and stock-based deferred compensation risk. Foreign currency risk management: Snap-on has significant international operations and is subject to certain risks inherent with foreign operations that include currency fluctuations. Foreign currency exchange risk exists to the extent that Snap-on has payment obligations or receipts denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, including intercompany loans denominated in foreign currencies. To manage these exposures, Snap-on identifies naturally offsetting positions and then purchases hedging instruments to protect the residual net exposures. Snap-on manages most of these exposures on a consolidated basis, which allows for netting of certain exposures to take advantage of natural offsets. Foreign currency forward contracts (“foreign currency forwards”) are used to hedge the net exposures. Gains or losses on net foreign currency hedges are intended to offset losses or gains on the underlying net exposures in an effort to reduce the earnings volatility resulting from fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. Snap-on’s foreign currency forwards are typically not designated as hedges. The fair value changes of these contracts are reported in earnings as foreign exchange gain or loss, which is included in “Other income (expense) – net” on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings. See Note 17 for additional information on Other income (expense) – net. As of 2023 year end, Snap-on had $133.3 million of net foreign currency forward buy contracts outstanding comprised of buy contracts including $101.2 million in British pounds, $67.2 million in Swedish kronor, $44.6 million in Hong Kong dollars, $27.2 million in Chinese renminbi, $24.9 million in Australian dollars, $17.0 million in Singapore dollars, $6.4 million in Norwegian kroner, $6.1 million in Danish kroner, and $5.1 million in other currencies, and sell contracts including $116.9 million in Canadian dollars, $17.6 million in euros, $15.5 million in Hungarian forints, $10.1 million in Indian rupees, and $6.3 million in other currencies. As of 2022 year end, Snap-on had $92.7 million of net foreign currency forward sell contracts outstanding comprised of sell contracts including $250.0 million in Canadian dollars, $39.2 million in euros, $8.5 million in Hungarian forints, $5.4 million in Indian rupees, and $3.9 million in other currencies, and buy contracts comprised of $72.0 million in British pounds, $41.3 million in Swedish kronor, $36.5 million in Hong Kong dollars, $26.8 million in Chinese renminbi, $16.0 million in Singapore dollars, $6.7 million in Australian dollars, $5.9 million in Norwegian kroner, $4.7 million in Danish kroner, and $4.4 million in other currencies. Interest rate risk management: Snap-on may manage the exposure created by the differing maturities and interest rate structures of Snap-on’s borrowings through the use of interest rate swap agreements (“interest rate swaps”) and treasury lock agreements (“treasury locks”). Interest rate swaps: Snap-on may enter into interest rate swaps to manage risks associated with changing interest rates related to the company’s fixed rate borrowings. Interest rate swaps are accounted for as fair value hedges. The differentials paid or received on interest rate swaps are recognized as adjustments to “Interest expense” on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in “Long-term debt” on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were no outstanding interest rate swaps as of both 2023 and 2022 year end. Treasury locks: Snap-on may use treasury locks to manage the potential change in interest rates in anticipation of the issuance of fixed rate debt. Treasury locks are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The differentials to be paid or received on treasury locks related to the anticipated issuance of fixed rate debt are initially recorded in Accumulated OCI for derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Upon the issuance of debt, the related amount in Accumulated OCI is released over the term of the debt and recognized as an adjustment to interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. There were no treasury locks outstanding as of both 2023 and 2022 year end. See Note 17 for additional information on Other income (expense) – net. Stock-based deferred compensation risk management: Snap-on manages market risk associated with the stock-based portion of its deferred compensation plans through the use of prepaid equity forward agreements (“equity forwards”). Equity forwards are used to aid in offsetting the potential mark-to-market effect on stock-based deferred compensation from changes in Snap‑on’s stock price. Since stock-based deferred compensation liabilities increase as the company’s stock price rises and decrease as the company’s stock price declines, the equity forwards are intended to mitigate the potential impact on deferred compensation expense that may result from such mark-to-market changes. As of 2023 and 2022 year end, Snap-on had equity forwards in place intended to manage market risk with respect to 68,900 shares and 64,900 shares, respectively, of Snap‑on common stock associated with its deferred compensation plans. Counterparty risk: Snap-on is exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to its various financial agreements, including its foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swap agreements, treasury lock agreements and prepaid equity forward agreements. Snap-on does not obtain collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk, but monitors the credit standing of the counterparties and generally enters into agreements with financial institution counterparties with a credit rating of A- or better. Snap-on does not anticipate non-performance by its counterparties, but cannot provide assurances. Fair value measurements: The fair value measurement hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority (“Level 1”) to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority (“Level 3”) to unobservable inputs. Fair value measurements primarily based on observable market information are given a “Level 2” priority. Snap-on has derivative assets and liabilities related to treasury locks, foreign currency forwards and equity forwards that are measured at Level 2 fair value on a recurring basis. The fair values of derivative instruments included within the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of 2023 and 2022 year end are as follows:
|  |  |  | 2023 |  | 2022
(Amounts in millions) |  | Balance Sheet Presentation |  | Derivative Assets Fair Value |  | Derivative Liability Fair Value |  | Derivative Assets Fair Value |  | Derivative Liability Fair Value
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Foreign currency forwards |  | Prepaid expenses and other current assets |  | $ | 17.9 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 18.5 |  |  | $ | — |
Foreign currency forwards |  | Other accrued liabilities |  | — |  |  | 11.9 |  |  | — |  |  | 16.9 |
Equity forwards |  | Prepaid expenses and other current assets |  | 19.9 |  |  | — |  |  | 14.8 |  |  | — |
Total derivative instruments |  |  |  | $ | 37.8 |  |  | $ | 11.9 |  |  | $ | 33.3 |  |  | $ | 16.9 |
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between participants at the measurement date. Level 2 fair value measurements for derivative assets and liabilities are measured using quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities. Foreign currency forwards are valued based on exchange rates quoted by domestic and foreign banks for similar instruments. Equity forwards are valued using a market approach based primarily on the company’s stock price at the reporting date. The company did not have any derivative assets or liabilities measured at Level 1 or Level 3, nor did it implement any changes in its valuation techniques in 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effect of derivative instruments designated as fair value and cash flow hedges as included in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings is as follows:
|  | Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income on Fair Value and Cash Flow Hedging Relationships
|  | 2023 |  | 2022 |  | 2021
(Amounts in millions) | Interest expense |  | Other income (expense) – net |  | Interest expense |  | Other income (expense) – net |  | Interest expense |  | Other income (expense) – net
Total amounts of income and expense presented in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings: |  | $ | (49.9) |  |  | $ | 67.5 |  |  | $ | (47.1) |  |  | $ | 42.5 |  |  | $ | (53.1) |  |  | $ | 16.5 |
Gain (loss) on fair value hedging relationships: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Interest rate swaps |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Long-term debt |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | (10.2) |  |  | $ | — |
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 2.7 |  |  | — |
Gain on cash flow hedging relationships: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Treasury locks |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Gain reclassified from accumulated OCI into income |  | $ | 1.6 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 1.6 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 1.6 |  |  | $ | — |
During the next 12 months, Snap-on expects to reclassify into earnings net gains from Accumulated OCI of approximately $1.2 million after tax at the time the underlying hedge transactions are realized. The effects of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments as included in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings are as follows:
|  | Statement of Earnings Presentation |  | Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income on Derivatives
(Amounts in millions) |  |  |  | 2023 |  | 2022 |  | 2021
Gain (loss) on derivative relationships: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Foreign currency forwards |  | Other income (expense) – net |  | $ | 6.0 |  |  | $ | (17.6) |  |  | $ | (10.8) |
Net exposures |  | Other income (expense) – net |  | (17.0) |  |  | 10.1 |  |  | 9.6 |
Equity forwards |  | Operating expenses |  | $ | 4.5 |  |  | $ | 1.4 |  |  | $ | 4.1 |
Stock-based deferred compensation liabilities |  | Operating expenses |  | (4.5) |  |  | (1.4) |  |  | (4.3) |
Snap-on’s foreign currency forwards are typically not designated as hedges for financial reporting purposes. The fair value changes of foreign currency forwards not designated as hedging instruments are reported in earnings as foreign exchange gain or loss in “Other income (expense) – net” on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings. See Note 17 for additional information on “Other income (expense) – net.” Snap-on’s equity forwards are not designated as hedges for financial reporting purposes. Fair value changes of both the equity forwards and related stock-based (mark-to-market) deferred compensation liabilities are reported in “Operating expenses” on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Fair value of financial instruments: The fair values of financial instruments that do not approximate the carrying values in the financial statements as of 2023 and 2022 year end are as follows:
|  | 2023 |  | 2022
(Amounts in millions) |  | Carrying Value |  | Fair Value |  | Carrying Value |  | Fair Value
Finance receivables – net |  | $ | 1,878.3 |  |  | $ | 2,138.7 |  |  | $ | 1,733.0 |  |  | $ | 1,983.9 |
Contract receivables – net |  | 528.7 |  |  | 561.6 |  |  | 493.7 |  |  | 520.4 |
Long-term debt and notes payable |  | 1,200.2 |  |  | 1,031.5 |  |  | 1,201.0 |  |  | 982.1 |
The following methods and assumptions are used in estimating the fair value of financial instruments: •Finance and contract receivables include both short-term and long-term receivables. The fair value estimates of finance and contract receivables are derived utilizing discounted cash flow analyses performed on groupings of receivables that are similar in terms of loan type and characteristics. The cash flow analyses consider recent prepayment trends where applicable. The cash flows are discounted over the average life of the receivables using a current market discount rate of a similar term adjusted for credit quality. Significant inputs to the fair value measurements of the receivables are unobservable and, as such, are classified as Level 3. •Fair value of long-term debt is estimated, using Level 2 fair value measurements, based on quoted market values of Snap-on’s publicly traded senior debt. The carrying value of long-term debt includes unamortized debt issuance costs and issuance discounts. The fair value of notes payable approximates such instruments’ carrying value due to their short-term nature. •The fair value of all other financial instruments, including trade and other accounts receivable, accounts payable and other financial instruments, approximates such instruments’ carrying value due to their short-term nature.
