Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

9. Financial Instruments

We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We principally use financial instruments to reduce the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and commodities used as raw materials in our products. The principal derivative financial instruments we enter into on a routine basis are foreign exchange contracts. Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value. The counterparties to derivative contracts are major financial institutions. We are subject to credit risk on these contracts equal to the fair value of these instruments. Management currently believes that the risk of incurring material losses is unlikely and that the losses, if any, would be immaterial to the Company.

Raw materials used by the Company are subject to price volatility caused by weather, supply conditions, geopolitical and economic variables, and other unpredictable external factors. As a result, from time to time, we enter into commodity swaps to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of materials used in our operations. We account for these commodity derivatives as economic hedges or cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair value of economic hedges are recorded directly into current period earnings. Commodity derivatives outstanding at December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023 were not material to the Consolidated balance sheet or Consolidated statement of income.

We may be exposed to interest rate risk on existing debt or forecasted debt issuance. To mitigate this risk, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts. There were no outstanding interest rate hedges as of December 28, 2024.

We may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to protect against foreign exchange risks associated with certain existing assets and liabilities, forecasted future cash flows, and net investments in foreign subsidiaries. Foreign exchange contracts related to forecasted future cash flows correspond to the periods of the forecasted transactions, which generally do not exceed 12 to 15 months subsequent to the latest balance sheet date. Our primary foreign currency hedge contracts pertain to the British pound, the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso, the Chinese yuan and the South African rand. The gross U.S. dollar equivalent notional amount of all foreign currency derivative hedges outstanding at December 28, 2024 was $547.8 million, representing a net settlement asset of $1.1 million. Based on foreign exchange rates as of December 28, 2024, we estimate that $12.5 million of net derivative gains included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 28, 2024 will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months.

We have entered into cross-currency swaps contracts to hedge both our Canadian dollar and Chinese yuan exposures of the Company's net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries. The cross-currency swap contracts expire at various dates through November 2026. As of December 28, 2024, the notional amount of the cross-currency swap contracts was $235.0 million. The cross-currency swap contracts were designated as net investment hedges, with the amount of gain or loss associated with the change in fair value of these instruments included within accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized in earnings upon termination of the respective net investment.

For derivative instruments that are designated as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item, are recognized on the same line of the consolidated statements of income. The changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are reported in other comprehensive income and are recognized in the consolidated statements of income when the hedged item affects earnings.

The fair values of foreign exchange and commodity derivative instruments on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023 were:
