Note 9.     Derivatives

From time to time, the Company (Successor) enters into derivative transactions to hedge its exposures to interest rate fluctuations. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for trading purposes. The Company manages its fixed and floating rate debt mix using interest rate swaps. Interest rate swap contracts are used by the Company to separate interest rate risk management from the debt funding decision. The cash paid and received from the settlement of interest rate swaps is included in interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company accounts for derivatives in accordance with U.S. GAAP, refer to Note 8 – “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for additional information on the authoritative guidance and the fair value measurement techniques for derivative financial instruments.

At September 30, 2020, the Company had a $720 notional amount interest rate swap that fixes LIBOR at 1.62%. This interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge of the interest rate risk attributable to the Company’s forecasted variable interest payments and has maturity dates through October 2024. The effective portion of the after-tax fair value unrealized gains or losses on this swap is included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

The fair value of the interest rate swap designated as an effective hedge was a liability of $39 and an asset of less than $1 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The increase in the liability was primarily driven by changes in the applicable LIBOR rate, which was 0.15% at September 30, 2020 compared to 1.76% at December 31, 2019. The Company is not a party to any derivatives that require collateral to be posted prior to settlement.
