Financial Derivatives [Abstract] |
Financial Derivatives | Note 7 – Financial Derivatives The Company uses certain financial derivatives to mitigate its exposure to volatility in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company uses these derivative instruments to hedge exposures in the ordinary course of business and does not invest in derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The Company manages market and credit risks associated with its derivative instruments by establishing and monitoring limits as to the types and degree of risk that may be undertaken, and by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties. As of May 31, 2013, the Company’s derivative counterparty had investment grade credit ratings. Financial derivatives consist of the following:

Accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) included realized and unrealized after-tax gains of $2.4 million, $2.7 million and $2.4 million at May 31, 2013 and 2012 and August 31, 2012, respectively, related to derivative contracts designated as hedging instruments. Cash Flow Hedging Relationships In order to reduce interest rate risk on the BSI Term Note, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. that is designed to convert the variable interest rate on the entire amount of the borrowing to a fixed rate of 6.05 percent per annum. Under the terms of the interest rate swap, the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments on an amount equal to the outstanding balance of the BSI Term Note. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap designated as a hedging instrument that effectively offset the variability of cash flows associated with variable-rate, long-term debt obligations are reported in AOCI, net of related income tax effects. In order to reduce exposures related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company, at times, may enter into forward exchange or option contracts for transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency for certain of its operations. This activity primarily relates to economically hedging against foreign currency risk in purchasing inventory, sales of finished goods, and future settlement of foreign denominated assets and liabilities. Changes in the fair value of the forward exchange contracts or option contracts designated as hedging instruments that effectively offset the hedged risks are reported in AOCI, net of related income tax effects. Net Investment Hedging Relationships In order to reduce translation exposure resulting from translating the financial statements of its international subsidiaries into U.S. dollars, the Company, at times, utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of its net investment exposure in its foreign operations. These foreign currency forward contracts qualify as a hedge of net investments in foreign operations. Changes in fair value of the net investment hedge contracts are reported in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of the currency translation adjustment, net of tax.

For the three and nine months ended May 31, 2013, the Company settled foreign currency forward contracts resulting in an after-tax net (gain) loss of ($0.8) million and $0.4 million, respectively, which were included in OCI as part of a currency translation adjustment. For the three and nine months ended May 31, 2012, the Company settled foreign currency forward contracts resulting in an after-tax net loss (gain) of $0.2 million and ($0.8) million, respectively, which were included in OCI as part of a currency translation adjustment. There were no amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations related to ineffectiveness of foreign currency forward contracts related to net investment hedges for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2013 and 2012. Accumulated currency translation adjustments from net investment hedges in AOCI at May 31, 2013 and 2012 and August 31, 2012 reflected realized and unrealized after-tax gains of $2.5 million, $2.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively. At May 31, 2013 and 2012 and August 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding Euro foreign currency forward contracts to sell 29.6 million Euro, 22.5 million Euro and 26.5 million Euro, respectively, at fixed prices to settle during the next fiscal quarter. At May 31, 2013, the Company also had an outstanding Rand foreign currency forward contract to sell 43.0 million Rand at fixed prices to settle during the next fiscal quarter. The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts qualify as hedges of a net investment in foreign operations.
