14. Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations, including market risks relating to fluctuations in interest rates. Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair values of derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is effective as part of a hedged transaction. Gains and losses on derivative instruments reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are subsequently included in earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged item. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

 

On October 28, 2022, the Company entered into a three-year USD-denominated interest rate swap (the “Swap”) with a third-party financial counterparty under the New Credit Agreement (see Note 10). The Swap was executed to protect the Company from interest rate volatility on our variable-rate Term Loan Facility. The Swap has an effective date of December 30, 2022 and is comprised of a $600,000 notional with a maturity of three years. RBC will receive a variable rate based on one-month Term SOFR and will pay a fixed rate of 4.455%. The notional on the Swap will amortize as follows:

 

Year 1: $600,000

Year 2: $400,000

Year 3: $100,000

 

The Swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge of the variability of the first unhedged interest payments (the hedged transactions) paid over the hedging relationship’s specified time period of three years attributable to the borrowing’s contractually specified interest index on the hedged principal of its general borrowing program or replacement or refinancing thereof. The fair value of the Swap has been disclosed in Note 6. The accumulated other comprehensive income derivative component balance was a $1,116 loss at December 31, 2022. The gain/loss reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings will be recorded as interest income/expense on the Swap and will be included in the operating section of the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.
