Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Derivative Financial Instruments | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company’s primary objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in interest rates. The Company measures its derivative financial instruments at fair value. Australia - Fulham The Company’s Australian subsidiary is a party to an interest rate swap agreement to fix the interest rate on its variable rate non-recourse debt (related to its Fulham facility) to 9.7%. The Company had determined the swap's payment and expiration dates, and call provisions that coincided with the terms of the non-recourse debt, to be an effective cash flow hedge. Accordingly, the Company recorded the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes. Total unrealized gains recorded in other comprehensive income, net of tax, related to this cash flow hedge were not significant for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The associated non-recourse debt was paid off during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the interest rate swap is no longer in existence as of September 30, 2017. Australia - Ravenhall The Company’s Australian subsidiary has entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate on its variable rate non-recourse debt related to a prison project in Ravenhall, a locality near Melbourne, Australia to 3.3% during the design and construction phase and 4.2% during the project's operating phase. The swaps' notional amounts coincide with construction draw fixed commitments throughout the project. At September 30, 2017, the swaps had a notional amount of approximately AUD 703 million, or $551 million, based on exchange rates at September 30, 2017, related to the outstanding draws for the design and construction phase and approximately AUD 466 million, or $365 million, based on exchange rates at September 30, 2017 related to future construction draws. At the onset, the Company had determined that the swaps have payment, expiration dates, and provisions that coincide with the terms of the non-recourse debt scheduled construction draw commitments and were therefore considered to be effective cash flow hedges. During 2017, certain of the critical terms of the swap agreements no longer coincided with the scheduled construction draw commitments. However, the swaps are still considered to be highly effective and the measurement of any ineffectiveness was not significant during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Accordingly, the Company records the change in the fair value of the interest rate swaps in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes. Total unrealized gain recorded in other comprehensive income, net of tax, related to this cash flow hedge was $2.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The total fair value of the swap liability as of September 30, 2017 was $15.7 million and is recorded as a component of Other Non-Current liabilities within the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. There was no material ineffectiveness for the periods presented. The Company does not expect to enter into any transactions during the next twelve months which would result in the reclassification into earnings or losses associated with these swaps currently reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Additionally, upon completion and commercial acceptance of the prison project, the Department of Justice in the State of Victoria (the "State") in accordance with the prison contract, will make a lump sum payment of AUD 310 million, or approximately $243 million, based on exchange rates at September 30, 2017, towards a portion of the outstanding principal of the non-recourse debt. The Company's Australian subsidiary also entered into interest rate cap agreements giving the Company the option to cap the interest rate on its variable non-recourse debt related to the project in the event that the completion of the prison project is delayed which could delay the State's payment. These instruments do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting, and therefore, changes in fair value of the interest rate caps are recorded in earnings. Total losses related to a decrease in the fair value of the interest rate cap assets were not significant during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 or 2016. The total fair value of the interest rate cap assets was not significant as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and is recorded as a component of other non-current assets within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
