Derivative Financial Instruments |
Derivative Financial Instruments | 9. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company uses certain interest rate derivative contracts to hedge interest rate exposures on the Company’s variable rate debt. The Company enters into foreign currency derivative contracts with financial institutions to reduce the risk that its cash flows and earnings will be adversely affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company’s hedging program is not designated for trading or speculative purposes. The Company recognizes derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The Company records changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of the derivatives that have been designated as accounting hedges in the accompanying consolidated statements of income as cost of revenue, interest expense, or to accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Cash Flow Hedges The Company uses interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges to fix the variable interest rates on portions of the Company’s debt. The Company also uses foreign currency options designated as cash flow hedges to hedge forecasted revenue transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Company initially reports any gain on the effective portion of a cash flow hedge as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Depending on the type of cash flow hedge, the gain is subsequently reclassified to either interest expense when the interest expense on the variable rate debt is recognized, or to cost of sales when the hedged revenues are recorded. If the hedged transaction becomes probable of not occurring, any gain or loss related to interest rate swap agreements or foreign currency options would be recognized in other income (expense). Further, the Company excludes the change in the time value of the foreign currency options from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The Company records the premium paid or time value of an option on the date of purchase as an asset. Thereafter, the Company recognizes any change to this time value in cost of sales. At March 31, 2013, the effective portion of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges before tax effect was $4.7 million, of which $2.7 million is expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense within the next 12 months. At March 31, 2013, the effective portion of the Company’s foreign currency options designated as cash flow hedges before tax effect, were immaterial. As of March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012, the notional principal, fixed rates and related expiration dates of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swap agreements were as follows:
Notional Amount (in millions) |  | Fixed Rate |  | Expiration Date |
$ | 250.0 |  | 0.95 | % | September 2015 |
200.0 |  | 0.68 | % | December 2014 |
150.0 |  | 0.55 | % | December 2013 |
The notional principal of foreign currency options to purchase British Pounds (GBP) with Brazilian Reais (BRL) was BRL 3.4 million and BRL 16.4 million (or approximately $1.7 million and $8.1 million) at March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively. These foreign exchange contracts have maturities of 24 months or less. Foreign Currency Forward Contracts The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts, which are not designated as accounting hedges, to hedge intercompany transactions and other monetary assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries. Gains and losses on these contracts are recognized in cost of sales for those instruments related to the provision of our services or general and administrative expenses, along with the offsetting losses and gains of the related hedged items. The notional principal of foreign currency forward contracts to purchase U.S. dollars with foreign currencies was $170.7 million and $60.1 million at March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively. The notional principal of foreign currency forward contracts to sell U.S. dollars for foreign currencies was $273.8 million and $110.2 million at March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively. The notional principal of foreign currency forward contracts to purchase GBP with BRL was BRL 24.3 million and BRL 9.7 million (or approximately $12.0 million and $4.9 million) at March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively. The notional principal of foreign currency forward contracts to sell GBP for BRL was BRL 9.9 million (or approximately $4.9 million) at March 31, 2013. Other Derivatives Other derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments consist of option contracts that the Company uses to hedge anticipated transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company recognizes gains and losses on these contracts as well as the offsetting losses and gains of the related hedged item in costs other income (expense). The Company records the premium paid or time value of an option on the date of purchase as an asset. Thereafter, the Company recognizes any change to this time value in other income (expense). The notional principal of option contracts to sell U.S. dollars for foreign currencies was $17.3 million at September 30, 2012 and no such option contracts were outstanding at March 31, 2013. The notional principal of option contracts to purchase U.S. dollars with foreign currencies was $43.3 million at March 31, 2013 and no such option contracts were outstanding at September 30, 2012.
