Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Commodity Pricing Risk

As of December 31, 2020, the Company was party to commodity swap contracts for specific commodities with notional amounts of approximately $86.9 million. The Company uses commodity swap contracts to mitigate the risks associated with fluctuations in commodity prices impacting its cash flows related to inventory purchases from suppliers. The Company does not hedge all commodity price risk.

At inception, the Company designated the commodity swap contracts as cash flow hedges. The contracts mature at specified monthly settlement dates through January 2022. The change in fair value effective portion of the hedging transaction is recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI”) and transferred to earnings when the forecasted hedged transaction takes place or when the forecasted hedged transaction is no longer probable to occur.
