Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities | DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES We use derivatives to manage certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions, particularly with regard to issuances of debt. Primary exposures include LIBOR and other rates used as benchmarks in our securitizations and other debt financing. We enter into derivative instruments to manage exposures related to the future known receipt or payment of uncertain cash amounts, the values of which are impacted by interest rates, and generally designate these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. In certain cases, we may choose not to designate a derivative instrument as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes due to uncertainty around the probability that future hedged transactions will occur. Our derivative instruments are used to manage (i) differences in the amount of our known or expected cash receipts and our known or expected cash payments principally related to the funding of our auto loans receivable, and (ii) exposure to variable interest rates associated with our term loan. For the derivatives associated with our non-recourse funding vehicles that are designated as cash flow hedges, the changes in fair value are initially recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”). For the majority of these derivatives, the amounts are subsequently reclassified into CAF income in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings, which occurs as interest expense is recognized on those future issuances of debt. During the next 12 months, we estimate that an additional $16.5 million will be reclassified from AOCL as a decrease to CAF income. Changes in fair value related to derivatives that have not been designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes are recognized in the income statement in the period in which the change occurs. For the year ended February 28, 2021, we recognized a loss of $1.7 million in CAF income representing these changes in fair value. As of February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, we had interest rate swaps outstanding with a combined notional amount of $2.43 billion and $2.62 billion, respectively, that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. As of February 28, 2021, we had interest rate swaps with a combined notional amount of $255.2 million outstanding that were not designated as cash flow hedges. See Note 6 for discussion of fair values of financial instruments and Note 14 for the effect on comprehensive income.
