Risk Management and Derivatives
Risk Management and Derivatives
The Company's use of derivative financial instruments is primarily limited to the utilization of interest rate hedges and foreign exchange hedges. The principal objective of such hedges is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company's operating and financial structure and to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rates. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company's exposure to interest rate movements, foreign exchange rate movements, and other identified risks, but may not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements.
The table below presents the fair value of the Company's derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 ($ in thousands):

Foreign exchange contracts—The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments it holds in foreign entities. The Company uses currency forward agreements to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates on its foreign investments. Currency forward agreements involve fixing the USD to the respective foreign currency exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. The currency forward agreements are typically cash settled in US dollars for their fair value at or close to their settlement date.
For derivatives designated as net investment hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. Amounts are reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated. In June 2013, the Company entered into a foreign exchange contract to hedge its exposure in a subsidiary whose functional currency is INR.  As of September 30, 2013, the Company had the following outstanding foreign currency derivatives that were used to hedge its net investments in foreign operations that were designated:

The Company marks its foreign investments to market each quarter based on current exchange rates and records the gain or loss through “Other expense” on its Consolidated Statements of Operations for loan investments or “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss),” on its Consolidated Balance Sheets for net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The Company recorded net losses related to foreign investments of $1.1 million and $0.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $1.5 million and $0.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, in its Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Qualifying cash flow hedges—In August 2013, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement to reduce exposure to variability in expected future interest payments associated with variable interest rate debt. In October 2012, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to convert its variable rate debt to fixed rate on a $28.0 million secured term loan maturing in 2019. The following table presents the Company's interest rate cap and swap outstanding as of September 30, 2013 ($ in thousands).

Over the next 12 months, the Company expects that $0.4 million will be reclassified to interest expense from cash flow hedges and $0.2 million will be reclassified to income related to terminated cash flow hedges from "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" into earnings.
Credit risk-related contingent features—The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company either defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.
In connection with its foreign currency derivatives, as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company has posted collateral of $10.2 million and $9.6 million, respectively, which is included in "Restricted cash" on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
