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, commodity pricing risk (primarily related to copper) and 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, which are collectively a function of five primary variables: price of the underlying instrument, time to expiration, strike price, interest rate and volatility. 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 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. •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 consolidated statements of operations associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of December 31, 2022, we did not have any derivative contracts that qualified for hedge accounting treatment. Foreign Currency In 2022, we entered into U.S. dollar, Korean won, and euro 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 consolidated statements of operations in the period in which the adjustment occurred. As of December 31, 2022 the notional values of these foreign currency forward contracts were as follows:
Notional Values of Foreign Currency Derivatives
USD/CNH | $ | 13,598,684 |
KRW/USD | ₩ | 7,596,600,000 |
EUR/USD | € | 3,756,866 |
Commodity As of December 31, 2022, we had 12 outstanding contracts to hedge exposure related to the purchase of copper in our AES operating segment. These contracts are held with financial institutions and are intended to offset rising copper prices 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 con solidated statements of operations in the period in which the adjustment occurred. As of December 31, 2022, the volume of our copper contracts outstanding were as follows:
Volume of Copper Derivatives
January 2023 - March 2023 | 69 metric tons per month
April 2023 - June 2023 | 69 metric tons per month
July 2023 - September 2023 | 69 metric tons per month
October 2023 - December 2023 | 69 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. We terminated the interest rate swap in September 2020. As a result, we settled the interest rate swap for $2.4 million in October 2020, representing the fair value of the interest rate swap on the date of termination. Both Rogers Corporation and the counterparties released each other from all obligation under the interest rate swap agreement, including the obligation to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed upon notional principal amount of $75.0 million.
