Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | Note 6. Derivative instruments and hedging activities Woodward has exposures related to global market risks, including the effect of changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, changes in certain commodity prices and fluctuations in various producer indices. From time to time, Woodward enters into derivative instruments for risk management purposes only, including derivatives designated as accounting hedges and/or those utilized as economic hedges. Woodward uses interest rate related derivative instruments to manage its exposure to fluctuations of interest rates. Woodward does not enter into or issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. By using derivative and/or hedging instruments to manage its risk exposure, Woodward is subject, from time to time, to credit risk and market risk on those derivative instruments. Credit risk arises from the potential failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative and/or hedging instrument. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes Woodward, which creates credit risk for Woodward. Woodward mitigates this credit risk by entering into transactions with only counterparties that are believed to be creditworthy. Market risk arises from the potential adverse effects on the value of derivative and/or hedging instruments that result from a change in interest rates, commodity prices, or foreign currency exchange rates. Woodward minimizes this market risk by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. Woodward did not enter into any derivatives or hedging transactions during the three or six-months ended March 31, 2018 or 2017. The remaini ng unrecognized gains in Woodward’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets associated with derivative instruments that were previously entered into by Woodward, which are classified in accumulated other comprehensive (losses) earnings (“accumulated OCI”), were net gains of $182 as of March 31, 2018 and $218 as of September 30, 2017. The following table discloses the impact of derivative instruments in cash flow hedging relationships on Woodward’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings, recognized in interest expense: ﻿ ﻿

﻿ Based on the carrying value of the realized but unrecognized gains on terminated derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges as of March 31, 2018, Woodward expects to reclassify $72 of net unrecognized gains on terminated derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive (losses) earnings to earnings during the next twelve months. On September 23, 2016, Woodward and Woodward International Holding B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Woodward organized under the laws of The Netherlands (the “BV Subsidiary”), each entered into a note purchase agreement (the “2016 Note Purchase Agreement”) relating to the sale by Woodward and the BV Subsidiary of an aggregate principal amount of €160,000 of senior unsecured notes in a series of private placement transactions. Woodward issued €40,000 aggregate principal amount of Woodward’s Series M Senior Notes due September 23, 2026 (the “Series M Notes”). Woodward designated the Series M Notes as a hedge of a foreign currency exposure of Woodward’s net investment in its Euro denominated functional currency subsidiaries. On the Series M Notes, included in foreign currency translation adjustments within total comprehensive (losses) earnings are net foreign exchange losses of $1,268 for the three-months an d $2,011 for the six-months end ed March 31, 2018, compared to net foreign exchange loss es of $664 for the three-months and net foreign exchange gain s of $2,150 for the six-months ended March 31, 2017. In July 2016, Woodward designated a n intercompany loan of 160,000 renminbi between two wholly owned subsidiaries as a hedge of a foreign currency exposure of the net investment of the borrower in the lender. Related to the intercompany loan, unrealized foreign exchange losses of $281 for the three-months and unrealized foreign exchange gains of $735 for the six-months ended March 31, 2017 are included in foreign currency translation adjustments within total comprehensive (losses) earnings. T he intercompany loan was repaid i n July 2017.
