Derivatives and Hedging |
Derivatives and Hedging | ​ 11. Derivatives and Hedging ​ Penske Australia sells vehicles, engines, parts, and other products purchased from manufacturers in the U.S., Germany, and the U.K. In order to protect against exchange rate movements, Penske Australia enters into foreign exchange forward contracts against anticipated cash flows. The contracts are timed to mature when major shipments are scheduled to arrive in Australia and when receipt of payment from customers is expected. We classify our foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges and state them at fair value. We used Level 2 inputs to estimate the fair value of the foreign exchange forward contracts. The fair value of the contracts designated as hedging instruments was estimated to be a liability of $2.5 million and $0.1 million as of December 31, 2020, and 2019, respectively. ​ The Company periodically uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s variable rate floor plan debt. In April 2020, we entered into a five-year interest rate swap agreement pursuant to which the LIBOR portion of $300.0 million of our U.S. floating rate floor plan debt is fixed at 0.5875%. This arrangement is in effect through April 2025. We may terminate this arrangement at any time, subject to the settlement at that time of the fair value of the swap arrangement. The interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge, and the related gain or loss is deferred in stockholders’ equity as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Monthly contractual settlements of the position are recognized as Floorplan interest expense, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We had no gain or loss related to ineffectiveness recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the year ended December 31, 2020. We use Level 2 inputs to estimate the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement. As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of the swap designated as a hedging instrument was estimated to be a net liability of $4.3 million.
