13. 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 and foreign exchange 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 the derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income/loss, depending on whether the 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.

 

In fiscal 2023, the Company entered into a three-year U.S. dollar-denominated interest rate swap (the “Interest Swap”) with a third-party financial counterparty under the Credit Agreement (see Note 10). The Interest Rate Swap was executed to protect the Company from interest rate volatility on our variable-rate Term Loan. The Interest Rate Swap became effective December 30, 2022 and is comprised of a $600.0 notional with a maturity of three years. The notional was $400.0 as of December 28, 2024. We receive a variable rate based on one-month Term SOFR and pay a fixed rate of 4.455%. The notional on the Interest Rate Swap amortizes as follows:

 

Year 1: $600.0

Year 2: $400.0

Year 3: $100.0

 

The Interest Rate 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 Interest Rate Swap has been disclosed in Note 6. The balance in accumulated other comprehensive income/loss related to the Interest Rate Swap has been disclosed in Note 4. The gain/loss reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income/loss into earnings has been recorded as interest income/expense on the Interest Rate Swap and included in the operating section of the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

On August 12, 2024, the Company entered into a three-year pay Swiss franc fixed/receive U.S. dollar fixed, cross currency swap (the “Cross Currency Swap”) with a third-party financial counterparty. The objective of the Cross Currency Swap is to economically hedge the Company’s net investment in its lower-tier European subsidiary, Schaublin, against adverse changes in the Swiss franc/U.S. dollar exchange rate. The Cross Currency Swap is based upon a net investment of CHF 69.4 ($80.0 USD) notional amount with a three-year maturity date. RBC receives a fixed U.S. dollar amount on a month-to-month basis based upon a fixed annual rate of 2.77% of the notional amount. At maturity, RBC will net-settle the principal of the Cross Currency Swap in cash with the counterparty.

 

The Cross Currency Swap has been designated as a net investment hedge on an after-tax basis. The fair value of the Cross Currency Swap has been disclosed in Note 6. The balance in accumulated other comprehensive income/loss related to the Cross Currency Swap has been disclosed in Note 4.
