Financial Instruments, Owned, at Fair Value [Abstract] |
Financial Instruments and Risk Management | Note 14 - Financial Instruments and Risk Management Foreign Currency Risk - Our functional currency is the U.S. Dollar. By operating internationally, we are subject to foreign currency risk from transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar (“foreign currencies”). Such transactions include sales, certain inventory purchases and operating expenses. As a result of such transactions, portions of our cash, trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable are denominated in foreign currencies. During the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2019, approximately 17% and 14%, respectively, of our net sales revenue was in foreign currencies. For both the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2018, approximately 13% of our net sales revenue was in foreign currencies. These sales were primarily denominated in Euros, British Pounds, Canadian Dollars, and Mexican Pesos. We make most of our inventory purchases from the Far East and primarily use the U.S. Dollar for such purchases. In our condensed consolidated statements of income, exchange gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of foreign taxes receivable, taxes payable, deferred tax assets, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized in their respective income tax lines, and all other foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in SG&A. During the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2019, we recorded net foreign exchange gains and (losses) from remeasurement, including the impact of currency hedges and the cross-currency debt swaps, of $0.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively, in SG&A compared to $0.3 million and $(0.8) million, respectively. We hedge against certain foreign currency exchange rate-risk by using a series of forward contracts and zero-cost collars designated as cash flow hedges and mark-to-market derivatives to protect against the foreign currency exchange risk inherent in our forecasted transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. We do not enter into any forward exchange contracts or similar instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. The effective portion of the changes in fair value of these instruments is reported in OCI and reclassified into SG&A in the same period they are settled. The ineffective portion, which is not material for any year presented, is immediately recognized in SG&A. Interest Rate Risk - Interest on our outstanding debt as of November 30, 2019 is based on floating interest rates. If short-term interest rates increase, we will incur higher interest expense on any future outstanding balances of floating rate debt. Floating interest rates are hedged with interest rate swaps to effectively fix interest rates on $225.0 million of the outstanding principal balance under the Credit Agreement, which totaled $225.8 million (excluding prepaid finance fees) as of November 30, 2019. The following table summarizes the fair values of our derivative instruments as of the end of the periods shown:

(1) | These are foreign currency contracts for which we have not elected hedge accounting. We refer to them as “cross-currency debt swaps”. They, in effect, adjust the currency denomination of a portion of our outstanding debt to the Euro and British Pound, as applicable, for the notional amounts reported, creating an economic hedge against currency movements.

We expect pre-tax losses of $1.5 million associated with foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps currently reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, to be reclassified into income over the next twelve months. The amount ultimately realized, however, will differ as exchange rates vary and the underlying contracts settle. Counterparty Credit Risk - Financial instruments, including foreign currency contracts and cross currency debt swaps, expose us to counterparty credit risk for non-performance. We manage our exposure to counterparty credit risk by only dealing with counterparties who are substantial international financial institutions with significant experience using such derivative instruments. Although our theoretical credit risk is the replacement cost at the then-estimated fair value of these instruments, we believe that the risk of incurring credit losses is remote.
