(1) The fair value of the long-term debt bearing interest at fixed rates was $197.6 million as at December 31, 2017 (January 1, 2017 - $192.5 million). Short-term financial assets and liabilities The Company has determined that the fair value of its short-term financial assets and liabilities approximates their respective carrying amounts as at the reporting dates due to the short-term maturities of these instruments, as they bear variable interest-rates or because the terms and conditions are comparable to current market terms and conditions for similar items. Non-current assets and long-term debt bearing interest at variable rates The fair values of the long-term non-trade receivables included in other non-current assets and the Company’s long-term debt bearing interest at variable rates also approximate their respective carrying amounts because the interest rates applied to measure their carrying amounts approximate current market interest rates. 14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued):
(a) | Financial instruments - carrying amounts and fair values (continued):
Long-term debt bearing interest at fixed rates The fair value of the long-term debt bearing interest at fixed rates is determined using the discounted future cash flows method and at discount rates based on yield to maturities for similar issuances. The fair value of the long-term debt bearing interest at fixed rates was measured using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. In determining the fair value of the long-term debt bearing interest at fixed rates, the Company takes into account its own credit risk and the credit risk of the counterparties. Derivatives The derivative financial instruments designated as effective hedging instruments consist of foreign exchange and commodity forward, option, and swap contracts, as well as floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps to fix the variable interest rates on a designated portion of borrowings under the term loan and unsecured notes. The fair value of the forward contracts is measured using a generally accepted valuation technique which is the discounted value of the difference between the contract’s value at maturity based on the rate set out in the contract and the contract’s value at maturity based on the rate that the counterparty would use if it were to renegotiate the same contract terms at the measurement date under current conditions. The fair value of the option contracts is measured using option pricing models that utilize a variety of inputs that are a combination of quoted prices and market-corroborated inputs, including volatility estimates and option adjusted credit spreads. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is determined based on market data, by measuring the difference between the fixed contracted rate and the forward curve for the applicable floating interest rates. The Company also has a total return swap (“TRS”) outstanding that is intended to reduce the variability of net earnings associated with deferred share units, which are settled in cash. The TRS is not designated as a hedging instrument and, therefore, the fair value adjustment at the end of each reporting period is recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses. The fair value of the TRS is measured by reference to the market price of the Company’s common shares, at each reporting date. The TRS has a one-year term, may be extended annually, and the contract allows for early termination at the option of the Company. As at December 31, 2017, the notional amount of TRS outstanding was 284,761 shares. Derivative financial instruments were measured using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. In determining the fair value of derivative financial instruments the Company takes into account its own credit risk and the credit risk of the counterparties. (b) Derivative financial instruments - hedge accounting: During fiscal 2017, the Company entered into foreign exchange and commodity forward, option, and swap contracts in order to minimize the exposure of forecasted cash inflows and outflows in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and to manage its exposure to movements in commodity prices, as well as floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps to fix the variable interest rates on a designated portion of borrowings under the term loan and unsecured notes. The forward foreign exchange contracts were designated as cash flow hedges and qualified for hedge accounting. The forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding as at December 31, 2017 consisted primarily of contracts to reduce the exposure to fluctuations in Canadian dollars, Euros, Australian dollars, Pounds sterling, and Mexican pesos against the U.S. dollar. The commodity forward, option, and swap contracts were designated as cash flow hedges and qualified for hedge accounting. The commodity contracts outstanding as at December 31, 2017 consisted primarily of forward, collar, and swap contracts to reduce the exposure to movements in commodity prices. The floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges and qualified for hedge accounting. The floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps contracts outstanding as at December 31, 2017 served to fix the variable interest rates on the designated interest payments of a portion of the Company's long term debt. 14.
