Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Hedging Transactions and Derivative Financial Instruments | Hedging Transactions and Derivative Financial Instruments We are exposed to certain risks related to our ongoing business operations. The primary risks being managed through our use of derivative instruments are foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity pricing risk (primarily related to copper). During the first quarter of 2017, we also entered into an interest rate swap to hedge interest rate risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The valuation of derivative contracts used to manage each of these risks is described below:
• | Foreign Currency - The fair value of any foreign currency option derivative is based upon valuation models applied to current market information such as strike price, spot rate, maturity date and volatility, and by reference to market values resulting from an over-the-counter market or obtaining market data for similar instruments with similar characteristics.
• | Commodity - The fair value of copper derivatives is computed using a combination of intrinsic and time value valuation models. The intrinsic valuation model reflects the difference between the strike price of the underlying copper derivative instrument and the current prevailing copper prices in an over-the-counter market at period end. The time value valuation model incorporates the constant changes in the price of the underlying copper derivative instrument, the time value of money, the underlying copper derivative instrument’s strike price and the remaining time to the underlying copper derivative instrument’s expiration date from the period end date. Overall, fair value is a function of five primary variables: price of the underlying instrument, time to expiration, strike price, interest rate, and volatility.
• | Interest Rates - The fair value of interest rate swap instruments is derived by comparing the present value of the interest rate forward curve against the present value of the swap rate, relative to the notional amount of the swap. The net value represents the estimated amount we would receive or pay to terminate the agreements. Settlement amounts for an “in the money” swap would be adjusted down to compensate the counterparty for cost of funds, and the adjustment is directly related to the counterparties’ credit ratings.
The guidance for the accounting and disclosure of derivatives and hedging transactions requires companies to recognize all of their derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the statements of financial position. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment as defined under the applicable accounting guidance. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify for hedge accounting treatment as cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). This gain or loss is reclassified into earnings in the same line item of the condensed consolidated statements of operations associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The remaining gain or loss on the derivative instrument in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of the future cash flows of the hedged item (i.e., the ineffective portion) if any, is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the current period. As of June 30, 2017 only our interest rate swap qualified for hedge accounting treatment as a cash flow hedge. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, there was hedge ineffectiveness of approximately $0.1 million which was recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 there was no hedge ineffectiveness. Foreign Currency During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, we entered into Korean Won, Japanese Yen, Euro, and Hungarian Forint forward contracts. We entered into these foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate certain global transactional exposures. These contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. As a result, any fair value adjustments required on these contracts are recorded in “Other income (expense), net” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2017 the notional values of these foreign currency forward contracts were:
Notional Values of Foreign Currency Derivatives
KRW/USD |  | ₩ | 5,695,550,000 |
JPY/EUR |  | ¥ | 266,000,000 |
EUR/USD |  | € | 4,373,956 |
EUR/HUF |  | € | 581,180 |
USD/CNY |  | $ | 6,083,500 |
Commodity We currently have twenty-two outstanding contracts to hedge exposure related to the purchase of copper in our Power Electronics Solutions (PES) and Advanced Connectivity Solutions (ACS) operations. These contracts are held with financial institutions and minimize the risk associated with a potential rise in copper prices. These contracts provide some coverage over the forecasted 2017 and 2018 monthly copper exposure and do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. As a result, any fair value adjustments required on these contracts are recorded in “Other income (expense), net” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The notional values of our copper contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2017 were:
Volume of Copper Derivatives
July 2017 - September 2017 | 122 | metric tons per month
October 2017 - December 2017 | 122 | metric tons per month
January 2018 - March 2018 | 140 | metric tons per month
April 2018 - June 2018 | 98 | metric tons per month
July 2018 - September 2018 | 46 | metric tons per month
Interest Rates In March 2017, we entered into an interest rate swap to hedge the variable interest rate on $75.0 million of our $450.0 million revolving credit facility. This transaction has been designated as a cash flow hedge and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment. See Note 12, “Debt” for further discussion regarding the credit facility. In July 2012, we entered into an interest rate swap to hedge the variable interest rate on our previously outstanding term loan debt. This swap expired as of June 30, 2016.
