Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Derivatives and Hedging |
12. | Derivatives and Hedging
We are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. These risks include the translation of local currency balances on our foreign subsidiaries’ balance sheets, intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries and transactions denominated in foreign currencies. We strive to control our exposure to these risks through our normal operating activities and, where appropriate, through derivative instruments. We periodically enter into contracts to hedge forecasted transactions that are denominated in foreign currencies. Since December 2022, we have entered into monthly forward contracts to hedge a 95 million Euro exposure on an intercompany note agreement related to proceeds from the GGB sale allocated to foreign subsidiaries. We expect this position to be resolved in 2024. The notional amount of foreign exchange contracts was $110.5 million and $103.3 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. All foreign exchange contracts outstanding at December 31, 2023 expired in January of 2024. The foreign exchange contracts were recorded at their fair market value as of December 31, 2023 with changes in market value recorded in income. The earnings impact of any foreign exchange contract that is specifically related to the purchase of inventory is recorded in cost of sales and the changes in market value of all other contracts are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations with the exception of our monthly forward contracts to hedge our Euro exposure which are recorded in other expense. The balances of foreign exchange derivative assets are recorded in other current assets and the balances of foreign exchange derivative liabilities are recorded in accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In September 2018, we entered into cross currency swap agreements (the "Swap") with a notional amount of $200.0 million to manage foreign currency risk by effectively converting a portion of the interest payments related to our then outstanding fixed-rate USD-denominated Senior Notes, including the semi-annual interest payments thereunder, to interest payments on fixed-rate Euro-denominated debt of 172.8 million EUR with a weighted average interest rate of 2.8%, with interest payment dates of March 15 and September 15 of each year. The Swap matured on September 15, 2022. At settlement, we received $30.8 million in cash, of which $27.4 million represented the fair value of the contracts as of the settlement date and $3.4 million represented interest receivable. Realized gains totaling $20.8 million, net of tax, as of the maturity date are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. In May 2019, we entered into additional cross currency swap agreements (the "Additional Swap") with a notional amount of $100.0 million to manage an increased portion of our foreign currency risk by effectively converting a portion of the interest payments related to our fixed-rate USD-denominated Senior Notes, including the semi-annual interest payments thereunder, to interest payments on the fixed-rate Euro-denominated debt of 89.6 million EUR with a weighted average interest rate of 3.5%, with interest payment dates of April 15 and October 15 of each year. The Additional Swap agreement matures on October 15, 2026. During the term of the Additional Swap agreement, we will receive semi-annual payments from the counterparties due to the difference between the interest rate on the Senior Notes and the interest rate on the Euro debt underlying the Additional Swap. There was no principal exchange at the inception of the arrangement, and there will be no exchange at maturity. At maturity (or earlier at our option), we and the counterparty will settle the Additional Swap agreement at its fair value in cash based on the aggregate notional amount and the then-applicable currency exchange rate compared to the exchange rate at the time the Additional Swap agreement was entered into. We have designated the Additional Swap as a qualifying hedging instrument and are accounting for it as a net investment hedge. At December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Additional Swap equaled $3.1 million and was recorded within our other (non-current) assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The gains and losses resulting from fair value adjustment to the Additional Swap agreement, excluding interest accruals related to the above receipts, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income within our cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, as the Additional Swap is effective in hedging the designated risk. Cash flows related to the Additional Swap are included in operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, aside from the ultimate settlement at maturity with the counterparty, which will be included in investing activities.
