Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
DERIVATIVES | DERIVATIVES The Company’s operations are exposed to market risks relating to commodity prices that affect the Company’s cost of raw materials, finished product prices and energy costs and the risk of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company makes limited use of derivative instruments to manage cash flow risks related to natural gas usage, diesel fuel usage, inventory, forecasted sales and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading purposes. At December 28, 2024, the Company had foreign currency options and forward contracts, interest rate swaps and corn options and forward contracts outstanding that qualified and were designated for hedge accounting as well as corn options and forward contracts and foreign currency forward contracts that did not qualify and were not designated for hedge accounting. Cash Flow Hedges In fiscal 2023, the Company entered into interest rate swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges. The notional amount of these swaps totaled $900.0 million. Under the contracts, the Company is obligated to pay a weighted average rate of 4.007% while receiving the 1-month SOFR rate. Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, the Company hedged a portion of its variable rate debt into the first quarter of 2026. At December 28, 2024, the aggregate fair value of these interest rate swaps was approximately $4.2 million. These amounts are included in other current assets, other assets, accrued expenses and noncurrent liabilities on the balance sheet, with an offset recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. At December 30, 2023, the aggregate fair value of these interest rate swaps was approximately $3.7 million. These amounts are included in other current assets, accrued expenses and noncurrent liabilities on the balance sheet, with an offset recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. In fiscal 2023, the Company also entered into cross currency swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges. The notional amount of these swaps was €519.2 million. Under the contracts, the Company is obligated to pay a 4.6% euro denominated fixed rate while receiving a weighted average U.S. dollar fixed rate of 5.799%. Under the terms of the cross currency swaps, the Company hedged its intercompany notes receivable into the first quarter of 2025. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedge are initially recorded as gains and/or losses as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. We immediately reclassify from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings an amount to offset the remeasurement recognized in earnings associated with the respective intercompany loan. Additionally, we reclassify amounts from accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with the interest rate differential between the U.S. dollar and euro to interest expense. At December 28, 2024, the aggregate fair value of these cross currency swaps was approximately $22.2 million. These amounts are included in other current assets on the balance sheet, with an offset recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. At December 30, 2023, the aggregate fair value of these cross currency swaps was approximately $10.8 million. These amounts are included in other current assets and noncurrent liabilities on the balance sheet, with an offset recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. In fiscal 2024, fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, the Company entered into foreign exchange option and forward contracts that are considered cash flow hedges. Under the terms of the foreign exchange contracts, the Company hedged a portion of its forecasted sales in currencies other than the functional currency through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. At December 28, 2024, the aggregate fair value of these foreign exchange contracts was approximately $32.6 million. These amounts are included in other assets, accrued expenses and noncurrent liabilities on the balance sheet, with an offset recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. At December 30, 2023, the aggregate fair value of these foreign exchange contracts was approximately $15.9 million, respectively. These amounts are included in other current assets and accrued expenses on the balance sheet, with an offset recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. In fiscal 2024, the Company entered into corn option and forward contracts that are considered cash flow hedges. Under the terms of the corn option and forward contracts the Company hedged a portion of its forecasted sales of BBP through the second quarter of fiscal 2025. At December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the aggregate fair value of the corn contracts was approximately $0.1 million and zero, respectively. These amounts are included in other current assets and accrued expenses on the balance sheet.
